《Empress' Evolution》5. The reason she fights I
Advertisement
Running away was the most exceptional technique for preserving one's life; if you wish to live, you must have the right mind to utilize this technique. If you cannot win against an enemy, then you must — MUST either avoid him at all cost or kill him without him noticing.
If you couldn't do any of the two, then the mystical art of running away was something that one must learn to execute boldly.
Lilith does not know how to fight, she had some Active Skills, but she still couldn't use it properly. In her previous life, she fought with her tongue (not that way) and sometimes with a bomb.
She was running for dear life and was haul assing, trying to get away from the Goblins that had their dicks and tongue out.
Having over 60% fatigue did not help her in the least. She was slowly losing stamina; even with the title, it was too much for Lilith.
So, she asked Alpha for any suggestions she could take! She created a small rawr as she tried to speak!
'Hey! Do I have some kind of function in the system that will let me save our asses?'
[NO! Just continue what you are doing! Get away, quickly, oh shit, they are gaining on us, move those legs of yours! Move it!]
Alpha was in the same situation as her. Although she was the system in Lilith's mind, Alpha still shared a body with her. If Lilith dies, she does not know what would happen. The Goddess did not answer her question when she asked what would happen to her if Lilith dies.
The Goddess must have feared that she would half-assed the job if she says nothing would happen and become uncooperative.
That must have been the reason why the Goddess kept her silence. And holy shit, was Alpha trying to do everything for Lilith to improve and become stronger. That arrogant tone was written off in a heartbeat.

The Goddess was a genius! If Alpha could have left Lilith's body, she would have already, but she couldn't, so the only thing she could do was cheer for Lilith to do her best.
[Come on, you trained so hard to run, now show me what the venomous snake can do. Show me the determination to live. Fuck, one of them jumped! Look out!]
Lilith turned around and saw one of the Goblin jumped high up and tried to assault her from above. The little shit had a wide grin on its face as if it had already won.
Having seen that grin, she immediately turned into a Ravager Newt (Salamander) in order to avoid getting hit by the pointy stick it carried.
*Crash!*
The Goblin missed and crashed to the ground in a nasty fall. It broke its left arm and left leg! Alpha celebrated with a laugh, but her laughter shortly disappeared after Lilith turned back to an Ash Leopard and jumped to the side, diving into the thick shrub.
[Ha! Serves you right! We can do this, Lilith; we can get away! What are you doing!? Ahh, — I see!]
Realizing Lilith's plan, Alpha's laugh resurfaced.
Having dived into the shrub, Lilith promptly turned back into a newt and sneaked past the Goblins searching for her and then approached the fallen Goblin.
She was just a few more meters away from the groaning Goblin trying to move despite its injuries.
[Goblins LVL 3 (Common)]
In front was the Goblin who tried to take her life. After checking the premises and confirmed no one was present, she changed form into an Ash Leopard and pounced at the Goblin.
"Lightning Claws!"
"Eeeek!"
Her claws shone with blue light, and lightning coated her claws, which she used to slay the Goblin. The Goblin shrieked, but no one could save it from the tragic end.

Lilith's movement was crude, but she managed to stab it in the abdomen with the first one and the chest on the second. Even though a ribcage was protecting its heart, she managed to pierce it without facing much resistance.

'My fatigue resets when I level... that's really useful.'
She managed to kill a Daemon with her own hands, and she managed to collect some Life Essence along the way. Lilith wanted to celebrate and revel in the liberation she had felt but decided not to and turned back and left the vicinity.
Turning back to a newt, she scuttled away like the lizard she was.
Lilith was running away; she wanted to first hide and recuperate and plan things out. But then, she stopped. A thought popped inside her head.
What if there were stronger enemies out there? Her train of thought arrived at this conclusion.
Greater danger abounds.
'These Goblins are heaven-sent to me. Their levels were not so far away from me that I can't touch them, and gaining battle experience will happen sooner or later.'
Should she hide and run or face the challenge head-on?
[What are you doing? They might find us, you know!]
Alpha noticed her indecisiveness and asked what she was doing, which Lilith answered with confidence and certainty.
'I am going to slay some Goblins.'
It was no use running away. She could only face what was ahead. If she runs, she would never be able to step up again; fear would always be on the back of her head. Her steps were heavy at first but gradually became lighter.
Lilith would fight and improve; she would rise; that was her determination.
Though to achieve all that, she needed to be tricky.
