Chapter 497

Niña and Miriam were hundreds of kilometers away from the battle. Using Miriam's ability, she confirmed how vast this planet was and she found some places to stay.

Furthermore, she knew where Mammon was. The Demon Lord of Greed was currently traveling the planet and looking through the scenery.

It seemed that Mammon was looking for something interesting. Unfortunately, the planet was quite boring and there were no living beings.

Only plants and trees could be seen and Mammon immediately lost interest.

He looked at the sky and grinned.

"I know that you are watching me. So you think I can't reach you? That's stupid."

Mammon started talking to the air. Yet it was obvious that he was talking to Miriam. He knew that Marianne's Clairvoyance was watching him.

"Unfortunately for you, I have a few things in my pouch."

Mammon brought out a pouch made of human skins. This pouch was a spatial pouch and it had incredible items inside.

"Let's see..."

He started looking for something. After a few seconds, he found what he was looking for. It was pair of shriveled feet of a certain species.

"This planet is indeed vast, but I can sense the general direction of your location. If you think I'm that stupid, I'm sorry to say this but I'm not... Maybe a little bit."

Mammon crushed the feet and his body disappeared.

......

...

...

"Niña! Duck!"

Miriam opened her eyes as she realized what would happen. Using her predictive eyes, she found Mammon's trajectory.

Niña did not know what happened but she followed her order.

A millisecond after that, Mammon showed up and he tried to kick Niña and Miriam.

But because Miriam knew what he would do, they dodged the attack.

Mammon's kick was so strong that the trees that surrounded them were cut in half.

Both Niña and Miriam were shocked.

"There are things that you have to know."

Mammon was not surprised. While in midair, he spun around and swing his leg.

Niña clearly saw his movement. She accelerated and escaped his kick. If she hesitated, she, Miriam, and the kids would be in danger.

"Hoh, impressive."

This time, Mammon was surprised. He glanced at the woman who dodged his attack.

"Huuu..."

Niña deeply exhaled.

"Looks like you are fast. Well, I already have a lot of people like you in my collection so who cares."

Mammon shrugged. Then his body disappeared and showed up behind Niña.

"Let's see who's faster."

He added.

"Game!"

Niña roared. In this aspect, Niña was confident in her ability.

With her foot on the ground, she dashed and escaped another attack.

The two started dashing all around. The world was moving fast. The people that Niña carried were confused as the background was constantly changing.

Lemar was dumbfounded while Kaela was smiling. Kaela was used to Niña's speed and she was having fun.

Perhaps only Miriam was the one who understood the danger of the moment.

Their exchange only spans for a few seconds. But the two were actually moving so fast as if they were running all day.

Mammon was attacking Niña. He aimed for her weakness such as the children but he always failed in the last millisecond.

He realized that this woman was actually faster than him.

'On top of that, she is carrying an adult and two children. Yet she can still move faster than me.'

Unfortunately, Niña could not attack. She was already exhausted by carrying them.

She understood that if she dropped Miriam and the children, Mammon would kill them.

Her best choice was to carry them and dodge Mammon's attacks. She was waiting for the right time to escape.

Unfortunately, Mammon knew her plan and he did not let her escape. He continued attacking at high speed.

"It's obvious that you can't keep that speed forever. You will slip and make a mistake and I will use that to kill you!"

Mammon started having fun. To be honest, he could end this faster but he was having fun.

"Tch!"

Niña began sweating. For a second, an idea entered her mind but she immediately erased it.

'It's dangerous to use my dimension travel. There's a chance that I will never return again.'

She was not traveling through planets. She was traveling through dimensions and there were endless dimensions in theory.

Niña was still not a God and it would be dangerous to use the Skill.

As time passed, Niña could feel the fatigue. She was doing her best not to make a mistake because she knew the consequences.

"Looks like this is going to end here."

Mammon was getting tired of this game of tag. He decided to take a step up.

He took an item out of his pouch. It was a crystal nunchaku and he started swinging it around.

-- Swoosh!

"!!"

Niña realized that the nunchaku has an ability. Her feet started to get heavy and she was having a hard time moving around. She felt that she was falling sideways.

"This weapon can change the direction of gravity, quite cool right?"

Mammon said and used the weapon to control where Niña would move.

"Here it comes!"

He dashed forward and swung the weapon. Niña's failed to defend and she instinctively turned around so that she could sacrifice her back and protect the others.

-- Baam!

It was a powerful strike and Niña flew across the island. Yet, she did her best to cover the kids.

"Waaahhh--!"

Kaela started crying as her vision became wobbly. Lemar who was next to her was bleeding too.

"Ugh!"

Niña stumbled and weakly stood.

She looked around and found Miriam.

"Miriam!"

The woman was few meters away from them.

"Go..."

Miriam muttered.

"Run and leave me. The Demon Lord will not follow you since his objective is me."

Miriam was determined.

Niña was trembling as she realized her intention.

"Make sure that you will protect Lemar."

Miriam said and a single tear rolled down to her eye. Yet she was smiling.
