"This is one of my Skills, Status Concealment, it helps me rearrange the status people see to confuse them and make them think I am someone else! It is a very rare one, I think I am the only one that has it." She said.
"That's… way too cheat-like!" Titan said.
"Can't we get one ourselves?" I asked.
"I don't really know. It came with my Subclass." She shrugged.
"Well, whatever, for now, let's go back to the village then-"
Suddenly, before we could actually react in time, a flash of darkness emerged from within the forest. I was already predicting this though, glaring at the ones that attempted to attack us.
The blows simply were destroyed by an invisible barrier protecting me and Titan, although Rosemary, as I'll call Black Haze's new persona, merely intercepted the powerful, black-colored shadow attack with her nails.
The enormous shockwave blew away a few trees, which slightly angered me, but I let it slide. Someone just tried to attack us, and it was clearly a Player. Because we were not in PVP mode, we were simply immune to their blows. Rosemary wasn't, so she intercepted the attacks instead.
The figures quickly showed up, or more like a single one, with the rest only staring from afar, all of them having rather worried expressions in their faces.
"You're Planta right?" A young girl asked, her skin was blue and she had two black horns growing from her forehead. Her smooth blue skin was covered on several black and white tattoos, and she was wearing a samurai armor covering her from head to toe, her face and her long, black hair was the only things visible, and of course, the powerful Black Katana she was holding.
"I-I am…" I said, looking at her ferocious eyes, glowing bright red.
"Good, I've been looking for you. I am what they call a Wandering Warrior. I go from place to place seeking a challenge. I fight strong players, and never turn back a challenge. I want you to fight me. I'll even pay you in Gold, how much do you want to fight me with all you've got?" She asked, suddenly showing me a bag of gold coins.
"E-Eh? Fight me?!" I asked in surprise. Titan at my side seemed just as confused, yet he kind of understand why this was happening.
"This is the second time this is happening already, Planta doesn't want to fight anybody…" Titan said while trying to be nice with her.
Suddenly, an enormous gust of black winds emerged from her blade once more. Her sword movements were so fast and precise it only felt as if a small glint of black and white color emerged from her sword before that gust of black winds, it had a powerful slashing power as well, easily slicing a few more trees around us.
"Don't get in my way." The girl said coldly. The other ones which she came with were only watching from afar. I noticed there was a red-haired elf, a girl with blonde hair and golden scales, and a small brownie boy with green hair.
"So? Fight me." The Blue Oni girl said. "I am not known as DarkReaper for nothing…"
That Player name… I can't believe it!
It's actually Elena! My daughter!
I finally met her and- Huh?! She's a Blue Oni Samurai!
Wow, she really looks amazing in her Avatar…
Did she came all the way here just to fight me? I am in awe. I never thought my little daughter would be so dedicated to her mama!
A-Although in such a way though… I think I saw her before as well she helped on defeating the Demon King of Miasma.
To think we would meet in such a way… I have the urge of going to hug her right now and tell her I am her mama!
…But I can't! I definitely can't! If I do that, it'll be super cringe for her… I don't want her to get uncomfortable in front of her friends.
Also if I reveal my identity right now, she might get mad I never told her about the game before and all… And even more angered when she knows about this.
Ah, but if I keep delaying the inevitable, won't I build even more anger from her later?
Ugh, being a mother is sure painful when I take into consideration every single little detail!
Should I accept her fight to gain her respect, maybe?
I guess… I have to play with her.
The very reason why I started playing this game… was because I wanted to know her better through the game, I wanted to see her other facet, how she acted with her friends, the real Elena.
I guess this challenging nature she has, and that deadly cold stare she's giving to me… It is the real Elena? She certainly has… a scary facet of herself. But it still… interesting.
Yeah, it is pretty interesting!
"A-Alright then, if you insist-"
"Fufufu! You're pretty bold to attack me and my new friend out of the blue, little girl." Maryrose laughed. "I've heard about you, a young Player that has been challenging every single player that brought her attention, you've been bringing a lot of annoyances to my friends. One of them got assaulted by you out of the blue the other day. Can't you go play Samurai elsewhere?"
Wait! Maryrose stop! Don't interrupt my moment with my daughter!
"And who the heck are you? I don't know you at all, but you're quite strong, Level two hundred… Just like mine." Said my daughter. "If you're so hellbent in protecting her, fight me without the Fair Fight System then."
"Heh…" Maryrose smiled. In her status, she only showed up as Level 200, but she was almost Level 300! She was the player closest to Level 300 in the entire world.
And my daughter's status was…
