Chapter 74: Finally...

| Tremor: When you strike, you have a high chance of shaking your enemies to their soul, forcing them into a passive stun state. If you manage to hit bone with your weapon, you will shake their soul 100% of the time.

No matter how it looked, the possibility of shaking their souls just by hitting their bones was simply amazing. At least that’s how they both saw it, and it was the best thing for a support weapon.

Especially for Jenna, who can attack so masterfully with two swords at the same time.

That’s why hunting became much more effective for both of them, and little by little, they forgot those terrifying moments of fleeing from a griffin and then trying to complete a ridiculously strong ruin.

And so the days went by.

Then a week passed quickly.

"How long have we been traveling?"

"A week straight."

They both fell silent. Had they made a mistake or gotten lost?

Elliot saw Jenna feeling helpless and smiled at her, patting her on the head. "We survived the hardest part; a week’s walk is still easy."

"Even if it is..."

"Haha, let’s not complain. Who knows? The roads we long for may be on the other side of these dry trees." Elliot interrupted her, trying to cheer her up, and immediately pulled her along to continue their walk through this vast forest.

Soon they passed through the dry trees and suddenly found themselves stunned.

They looked at each other briefly before looking back at what was before them.

A long, spacious concrete road lay before them. No cars were passing by at the moment, but that was beside the point.

It was the concrete road they had been looking for!

Happiness radiated from their faces. They quickly ran over to it to ensure it wasn’t an illusion and smiled broadly.

"Hahaha, we really found it!"

But a horn blared in their ears while they were happy and radiating joy.

*BROOOOOOOOM*

They both immediately jumped aside with agility, and a huge modern truck, used to carry heavy and valuable loads, passed by them almost instantly. It was going at a great speed.

"Tsk, I think the driver of that thing wants to kill himself," Elliot grumbled.

But then he saw the truck suddenly slow down and stop about 500 meters before them, where they could finally stop.

Then suddenly, two men got out. One was potbellied, bearded, and short, wearing very elegant clothes and sitting in the passenger seat.

The other was a tall man, but very thin—an interesting contrast between the two.

They seemed to jump up and wave at the two, so Elliot and Jenna approached them, puzzled.

They hadn’t quite reached them when the tall and thin man spoke.

"Gentlemen, are you awakened ones? Where are you headed?" The fat man was the first to speak, approaching them and holding their hands.

Elliot greeted him back.

"We are awakened ones. We are going to Loen City. Why?"

"To Loen?" The man nodded. "Nice to meet you, awakened ones. We are merchants working on the Zargo-Loen Route for the EK-Last Company. We carry heavy cargo, such as pre-cooked food or large loads of fish to Loen, and on the way back to Zargo, we usually carry heavy cargo from the Misfits."

"Nice to meet you," Elliot greeted them in return. Jenna simply nodded.

The fat man then indulged himself by continuing to talk. "Right now, we’re carrying several tons of fish, beef, and other meat. But, as you well know, this smell attracts the attention of many kinds of beasts, and neither of us wants to be awakened. We hired someone, and he’s in the truck right now, but we don’t think it’ll be enough, since we still have several hours to go, and the rest of the road is the most dangerous part. That’s why we were wondering, can you help us?"

"We’ll pay well for your services. We’d just like your protection until we reach Loen. If you’re Awakened, the payment is $10,000 to get there. What do you say?"

Elliot and Jenna didn’t have to think about it. They had already agreed to take him when they realized the man’s intentions. All that was left was to respond.

"We’re headed to Loen and don’t have transportation, so if you take us there, we will protect you and you won’t have to pay us anything. Just think of it as a favor."

The two men looked at each other, nodding repeatedly. "Of course, Young Masters! Please come with us. We’ll introduce you to the other Awakened One, and we’ll leave right away."

In no time, the four of them headed for the modern truck. Inside, just behind the driver and passenger seats, a section could hold up to 15 people.

"Gentlemen, let me introduce you. This is Black Leather, an Awakened one known in Zargo who does freelance work. I hear he also has a small bar in Loen."

"They will accompany you on your mission to protect us, Black Leather. Their names are Elliot and Miss Jenna."

Black Leather was about 30 years old, with a slightly trimmed, unkempt beard. He wore loose-fitting but sturdy clothing.

He looked at them and nodded.

’They’re very young...’ he thought, but knowing that there are many geniuses in the world, he did not despise them.

"How strong are you, boys?" he asked.

Elliot and Jenna also nodded at him.

"We are in the Awakened Rank, Mr. Black Leather. We can see that you are, too."

Black Leather was surprised. ’So strong at such a young age? Undoubtedly, the world is full of geniuses.’

"Haha. Well, it looks like we’ll be safe from now on." He looked at the drivers and nodded to them. "They’re not lying. You can drive at the recommended speed; we don’t want to kill ourselves, after all."

"Haha. Okay, okay. Please get in. There’s food and snacks; help yourselves. If any beasts show up, we’ll let you know."

Elliot and Jenna got into the truck and started chatting with Black Leather.

Being someone who runs a bar, this man had a lot to say, so they could talk freely for quite a while, until he fell asleep.

When he did, they could finally talk about their own issues.

"When we get back, what are you going to do?" Jenna asked in a whisper.

Elliot sighed. "I’ll try to join a guild. I still want to participate, and the Tournament isn’t far off."

"You’re right." Jenna frowned. At that moment, both of their strength had risen explosively. It was enough to enter any guild and go straight to the main force that would participate in the Star Tournament.

But...

Jenna looked at Elliot. "I didn’t want to tell you, but... I’m about to take the God’s Trial. When I come back... Can you protect me?" she asked strangely.

Elliot looked at her in shock. "Huh? You... You’ve reached that level?"
