NOVEL WEB Chapter 1120: Accessory Appraisal
-----
After Melisa decided to cut ties with her abusive boss, Teressa was having a hard time believing what had happened, the neurotic woman, naturally, didn't take it too kindly.
In fact, she was at the verge of breaking.
"T-This can't be true, right?"
Teressa started trembling in utter disbelief, her guild members glaring at her with concern.
"Um, master Teressa, what's wrong?"
"Are you okay?"
"Is something bothering you? What about Melisa?"
"S-SHUT UP! YOU'RE ALL SO USELESS!"
Teressa ran away from the arena, filled with anger, frustration, and… disbelief.
She gasped for air as she looked back at the arena.
And then, she noticed something.
Planta was glancing at her from afar, with her bright draconic eyes.
The woman felt utter scorn against her, immense hatred.
She knew it must have been her!
Yet…
"Make sure to never bother her again, or I'll kill you."
Her voice reverberated inside of Teressa's mind.
Teressa quickly realized that things had gone to the worst-case scenario.
"A-Ah…! W-Wha…?!"
She had messed with the wrong woman.
"You remember what happened to Arthur? He messed with me and my friends, and he had a terrible ending," Planta said. "I am a World Boss, and I usually don't like fighting other people. But I could happily kill you over and over and over again until you lose everything you have, from levels, skill levels, and all the items you're wearing and inside your inventory."
"A-Aahh!" Teressa realized how fucked she was. "W-Wait, please don't…! I-I'll behave!"
She immediately feared for her life. After all, just like she could abuse others and make them work like slaves without repercussions in the real world because this was a game, the same could be said about Planta's statement.
There was no law protecting her from getting slaughtered a hundred times and having all her things robbed, even less with Planta, a being that has become a World Boss, catalogued as both a Player and a Monster, she can attack anybody without repercussions.
Something many Players didn't understand was how nice and gentle Planta truly was, any other Player hungry for power would have gone out of their way to slaughter entire cities to gain EXP and World Boss Points.
Yet Planta chose not to, she became a guardian and just another person, a friend others could rely on, and perhaps a queen, much to her dismay, of the Forest of Beginnings…
But it wasn't as if she was dumb or naïve for not using this power.
She knew when it had to be used.
Sometimes, people will simply not understand unless you beat some sense into them.
"You will behave? Good, then scram. And never return. Do not even dare appear in front of me or Melisa… I'll let you be, you don't mess with me, and I won't mess with whatever you're doing." Find more chapters on empire
"Y-Yes… I-I understand…"
Teressa nodded, running away from the arena without even telling her guild members, who remained in their seats, still confused about everything.
"That should do it…" Planta sighed, looking back to her things. "Hah, this doesn't suit me, I'm not really good at this…"
She wasn't really happy about what she did, she wasn't dealing with some random demon or a monster, it was just another person. Planta had never confronted someone else like this before, or at least not a normal human being.
However, through all her experiences, she has learned that sometimes its better to try to resolve things quickly and from the root, to not generate any more future problems.
Or well, she hoped for that to happen…
"There's only five minutes left of the third round! Participants, please get your things ready!"
After the announcement, every participant hurried to give the very last details to what they were making. Melisa was caught off guard and her things had barely been finished but she had to hurriedly give it the finishing touches.
As for Planta's team, she quickly imbued her powers into the equipment, connecting them through Spiritual Energy, Divine War Essence, and Mana energies combined together, all the runic engravements were done too.
FLAAASH!
"And done."
The three pieces of accessories magically connected through auras, resembling spiritual souls that made them feel like they were a single item. She smiled with a bright smile.
"And it's done!" she said with a nod. "Now, let's quickly show them to their majesties!"
"Oh yeah!" Mark nodded. "Wait, so what happened at the end?"
"Yeah! Can't you share at least?" Ambil wondered.
"Ah!" Planta had completely forgotten to tell them. "Oh yeah, so…"
She briefly explained to them everything, making them surprised and then relieved.
"So that's it… Poor girl, I hope she's fine now," sighed Mark.
"Well, if this matter is resolved, then the contest can go on without any more problems, that's nice!" laughed Ambil.
"Yeah, let's do our best! There's only one more round left after this one!" Planta said. "Once we're done, let's take a break for the rest of the day."
"Sure, sounds like a plan," nodded Mark.
"Hmmm, they're appraising the accessories…" Ambil commented.
As they talked, the king and the queen were looking at the accessories, everyone had their own beautiful designs. Erdragon decorated them with dragon heads, tiny wyverns, and dragon wings and tails. Goldanaba made her accessories very golden and glittering, beautifully decorated.
Horshen's accessories were of a fiery red and orange color, with flames and hammers as decorations. Melisa's accessories were either black or dark purple, with red jewels on them, looking rather beautiful in their own, gothic aesthetic.
And lastly the newbies, Erika and BlackEye's accessories were much simpler, yet they looked rather beautiful anyways, both had original silver colors. But Erika made her necklace resembling farming tools and put wheat farms as decoration. Meanwhile BlackEye added… eyes.
As for Planta's accessories, after finishing everything, they ended with a gold and red color, with colorful, tiny jewels on top, there were also tree-shaped decorations, roots, branches, leaves, and flowers.
"First of all, I have to say, these accessories are beautiful, all of them," said the Queen. "Well done, everyone."
And they started by praising everyone's efforts.
