Harem of the final villain in an ERO MMO!!! I just need to survive

Chapter 97 97: Tricking Across The Boat



The fact that there were only limited seats in the boot did not strike anyone until it was too late. By the time the boat had reached the shore, everyone had gotten up and started crowding around it.

But once the crow assembled, they realized that they could not all get on the boat.

"What the hell? What should we do now? We cannot all get on the boat?"

"Man, is this some kind of test for us to solve? But anyway, you all should sit aside and let me on the boat since I am the most qualified to do so."

"No way. I sacrificed a lot to be here right now. There is no way I am giving up my position without a fight."

As Keith had expected, there was a fight regarding the position of the people who wanted to get on the boat. And soon this fight would turn bloody.

Even Amelia had realized that a fight was inevitable and gotten into a ready position. She had her great sword out of her pocket dimension and ready to fight for her position. But Keith had a better idea than that.

The boat had a person on it to row it across and that person seemed to be looking down at his watch. He was waiting for the time to pass so that he could cross the river. That meant there was a time limit on him.

"Pss, Amelia. We don't have to fight to get across the river. We just need to wait for everyone else to start fighting and take this opportunity to get on the boat."

Keith whispered in Amelia's ear as he pulled her body closer to his own. Amelia was startled as she was suddenly pulled over but she understood what Keith wanted her to do.

She still looked doubtful but she relaxed her pose soon after.

As Keith had expected, a small fight did break out among the people and the fighting party did not allow anyone to reach the boat. Anyone who tried to walk over to the other side was dragged into the fight.

But Keith was not worried about being dragged into a fight or being hit. He had the protection of his artifact as well as his earring. His barriers were his ultimate weapon and Keith took Amelia's hand and dragged her across.

"Hey wait. Should we not be prepared to walk through a fight?"

Amelia asked as she was dragged behind Keith. She looked spectacle about walking behind him but she soon relaxed once she realized she was not being dragged into any unnecessary fight.

The spells hedging toward them were also being deflected by Keith's barrier and they both emerged near the boat.

"Hey, how much longer are you going to wait around for? Are you not on a timer to go back?"

Keith questioned the boat rower as soon as he landed on the boat. The boat rower did not look startled to see Keith he did look glad that someone had finally climbed up into the boat.

"We'll leave in one minute. No one will be able to step into this boat after a 1minute more."

That meant that Keith had only a minute for defense left. Once the boat was out, he would be free to drop his barrier.

He was already tired after maintaining the barrier for a short amount of time. It took too much stamina and endurance to keep the barrier going for huge amounts of time.

Finally, someone noticed that Keith and Amelia had managed to slip away. There were 30 seconds left during the countdown.

"Hey, look! Those two are trying to get away alone. Hurry up and catch the boat."

The person who noticed Amelia and Keith fleeing the scene pointed out. As soon as he did point that out, everyone turned to look at the two-fleeing people.

The person who was nearest to their boat threw a fire spell their way. It would destroy the boat if it collided with it. So, Keith could not let that happen to him and Amelia.

He raised his hand to stop the spell but a wave of dizziness hit him full force. He felt fainter than before which caused his concentration to break.

It was clear to Keith that he would be unable to put up a shield in time. He would have to gamble on being lucky and for the boat to survive the attack.

"Noah, watch out."

Of course, he completely forgot that he had one of the most broken things in this MMO world by his side - Amelia.

She did not know how to perform advanced techniques but somehow managed to stop the fire spell with the help of her claymore. She easily cut through the magic as if it was paper.

"3…2…1…We'll be leaving now."

People ran toward the boat, trying to catch it. But the barrier had already risen around the boat and they were off. Keith and Amelia had successfully managed to trick the people into letting them go.

"You will not be forgiven for this trickery."

"Just you both wait and watch. Once I am at the destination as well, I will kill you both."

People threatened the two, wanting to see them suffer as well. And Keith understood why this was happening to him and Amelia.

It had been a rather cowardly move for him and Amelia to use the in-fighting as a means to escape these people.

But that had been the optimal thing to do for the betterment of everyone. (Especially himself and Amelia.)

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Keith sat down once the ordeal was over. He was tired and his legs could no longer support his weight. But as soon as he sat down, he felt something soft and squishy beneath his legs. He was willing to bet that it was even a person he had stepped on.

"Hey, do you want to kill me? Get your lazy ass off my face or I might suffocate."

Keith instantly stood up with the grace only the grandmaster could possess. His rather graceful but clumsy attempt attracted Amelia's attention as well.

She was surprised to see a fourth person in the boat with them.

The person who had been hiding by lying down all this time stood up. It was a child no older than a few years old. She looked to be about 10 years old and Keith was surprised to see that she had made it this far.

"Hey, wait is you both looking at? Avert your eyes away from me this very second or else! I swear! People nowadays have no respect for the elderly."

It was almost funny to see the child curse as if she was older than anyone.

She finally crossed her legs and sat down on the boat. Her tiny body looked comically smaller in front of Amelia and Keith's well-defined bodies.

"What are you both looking at? Do I have something on my face? Do you want to make fun of me? If not then sit down and pay attention to me right now."

Keith found himself following these orders. He had not meant to but it was funny how his body recognized that commanding tone.

On the other hand, Amelia looked surprised and followed along as well. They both could not stop observing the kid in front of them.

"What? Never seen an old person before? I might look like I am ten but I am over 100 years old at this point. So, both better show me respect, alright?"

The child continued to speak once she realized that neither Keith nor Amelia had looked away.

The child continued to speak and try to convenience Keith and Amelia that she was an adult the whole way. Even when they finally reached the shore, Amelia and Keith stepped down but the child looked hesitant.

The child gulped but finally stepped down on the Dead man's land. It was the first island they had reached currently.

"Hmmm, not bad. But there was no welcome for us. How do we know where we need to go from here?"

The child questioned, now totally lost. Both Keith and Amelia could feel the subtle sense of energy coming from the direction. Besides, Keith had a map of this place that told him where he was currently way.

It was not difficult for him to find his way around alone.

"Hey Noah, I know this is a little much to ask for but should we take the kid with us for now? I don't feel comfortable leaving her alone in this vast forest. Who knows what could happen to her."

Keith could have preferred not to take the kid along since it was a huge responsibility. But it seemed like Amelia wanted to take responsibility for this kid.

Amelia was someone who was soft-hearted and this kid seemed to have tickled her soft spot. Amelia would take her along with or without Keith's consent.
