96 Trust!

Dro turned around, facing Fina and Lucia, "Let's go," he said; the two girls who were watching the fight between him and the nightmare beast and had their eyes on him, nodded their heads in affirmation and said at the same time.

"Alright, big brother Dro," Fina said.

"Alright, Dro," Lucia said.

Dro walked up to the two of them and together, all the three of them left in the direction they were heading in before with Lucia walking from his right and Fina walking from his left.

Walking for 35-yards they all stopped as 30-yards away they all saw a nightmare beast standing in their way.

"You both deal with this one," Dro said while looking at the nightmare beast.

Fina turned her head to Dro and nodded, "Alright, big brother Dro," she said with a slight smile visible on her beautiful face.

Lucia shook her head while looking at the nightmare beast; then turned her head to Dro, "No, if I am going to fight, I am going to fight alone… I can also fight together with you, but with no one else."

Dro and Fina furrowed their eyebrows and turned their heads to Lucia and Fina said, "Why don't you want to fight together with me, big sister?"

"I want to know the reason as well," Dro thought.

Lucia turned her head to the nightmare beast, "Because I am the royal vampire princess," she said and thought as she extended her arm towards the monster, "Because even my siblings betrayed me. The only one I can trust with my back is myself… and Dro."

Fina tilted her head in confusion, "She has to fight alone because she is a royal vampire princess? Why? I don't understand," she thought.

Dro tilted his head in confusion as well, "Huh? How does being a vampire princess mean that she has to fight alone?... Either way, the reason isn't important. What's important is that she won't fight together with anyone else but me… When we go fight that level 30 monster, I will have to either team up with Fina or Lucia or fight it alone…" he thought.

Lucia opened her palm and out of it, a bolt made out of blood flew out, as she used the skill by using 40 blood.

SWOOSH!

The bolt flew through the air and hit the nightmare beast standing 30-yards away. Damage floated up above its head, and it was reduced to 18,556 health. Her passive activated and her damage increased by 40%.

The nightmare beast roared in pain, glaring at Lucia and flapping its wings. But then a stream of blood erupted out of her hand as she used the skill by using 250 blood.

SWOOSH!

The stream of blood flew through the air and collided with the nightmare beast that tried to fly into the air. Damage floated up above its head, . It let out a loud scream and fell down to the ground, dead; a few notifications flashed.

Fina blinked her eyes, "Big sister Lucia killed it faster than big brother Dro…," she mumbled; then snapped her head to Dro, "I am going to fight the next one! And I am going to fight it alone like big sister Lucia!"

Lucia turned her head to Fina, "I must have hurt her pride by refusing to fight alongside her, and now she wants to recover it by defeating the same opponent I did, most likely in the same manner I did… She is one of Dro's followers. Since I trust him, I can trust her and all his followers that he will have as well, and she did want to help me…," she thought.

Dro turned his head to Fina and slightly tilted his head in confusion, "What's with her?" he thought; then nodded and said, "Alright." He moved his head to the nightmare beast's corpse that was 30-yards away and saw it enveloped in a golden light, "Let's go," he said; Fina nodded her head.

"Fina after you defeat your enemy, let's fight together," Lucia said and raised the corners of her lips, forming a beautiful smile.

Fina turned her head to Lucia and blinked her eyes, she raised the corners of her lips, forming a wide smile, "Mhm!" she nodded her head, "Alright big sister, Lucia."

Dro widened his eyes in surprise, "What happened? Why did she suddenly change her mind? Whatever it was, my party's strength is no longer handicapped," Dro thought and said, "Let's go." Lucia and Fina turned their heads to Dro and nodded their heads simultaneously.

They walked up to the corpse of the nightmare beast and Dro squatted down, touching the corpse with his right hand; the loot window opened.

"It's the same item. I don't need the third copy of the same item. It's not like I can sell or equip them. From now on, I will only loot items from different bosses," Dro thought and stood up without looting the item. "Let's go," he said and the two girls nodded their heads; the three of them walked into the distance.

Walking for 20 more yards, Dro, Fina and Lucia stopped, as 45-yards away stood another nightmare beast.

Fina walked out in front and her expression turned serious, "I will kill it in no more than three attacks," she thought.

"You can do it, Fina!" Lucia shouted out. Dro turned his head to her and gave her a surprised look.

Fina suddenly transformed into her werewolf form by using her skill, and she leapt towards the nightmare beast by using her skill by using 30 energy; without waiting for anything. Her energy was reduced to 270.

Fina landed atop of the nightmare beast that was standing 45-yards away. It roared in pain and anger, and started flapping its wings as it sensed someone land on its back and as damage floated up above its head, . It was reduced to 29,026 health.

Dealing damage, Fina gained 19 rage and two of her passives activated. The first one – her werewolf form passive, which dealt an additional 5% of the targets maximum health as damage, . The nightmare beast was reduced to 27,492 health; her second passive which increased her damage by 23.75% and her damage reduction increased by 9.5%

Fina crouched down and bit into its neck by using her skill by using 50 energy. Her energy was reduced to 233. The nightmare beast roared in pain and anger again as damage floated up above its head, ; she gained 48 rage and two of her passives activated. Her first one dealt another 5% of its maximum health as damage and reduced its health to 16,560. Her second one – passive increased her damage by an additional 60% to a total of 83.75% and her damage reduction by 24% to a total of 33.5%.

The nightmare beast rose into the sky, but before it could do anything, Fina struck it with her right arm; damage floated up above the nightmare beast's head, , it screamed out in pain and started falling down to the ground; as it did, a few notifications flashed.

Fina jumped off the nightmare beast's back before it crashed. Landing on the ground, she smiled widely, morphed back to her vampire form and ran up to Dro and Lucia. Stopping in front of them, she said with a wide smile on her face, "I did it!"

Lucia nodded her head with a smile, "Yeah."

Dro smiled, "Good job, Fina," he said and thought, "That's a really powerful skill she created."
