After saying what he had to say, Lewin quikly disppeled the Soul Essence body before Laila asked even more questions.
Lewin threw himself at the chair with a hand at his temples feeling embarassed about what he had said. Entliting, rewarding, blessing, gods deities? What the hell was all that? For a moment he felt like a loser.
Lewin shook his head to clear his mind from those thougs and focused into something else, whatching what Laila was doing.
He waved his hand readjusting the time flow to 1s:6h as the images of what was happening in the globe slowly appeared on his head.
....
After the Great One was gone, Laila fell to the ground and she praied to him for 2 days, and after these 2 days she started leaving the mountain.
Laila was still naked, so she went to the florest to kill some beast to wear it's skin, and like that she discovered her body had become far stronger, so much that she effortlessly killed some dozens of beasts with her bare hands, chose the "Prettier" skin among them, and went to research the place the people from the vilage she previously lived in went to.
After a month of research she found the new place that was bordering a florest.
When she got there she received many strange gazes, everyone was surprised that of the group of 12, only she was able to get back.
When she got to town, Laila spent a bit of money to buy some clothes, and immeditely went to the florest and from then on, she worked like a machine.
Everyday, from down to sunset, Laila would hunt monsters like a madman, without taking a minute break. Even though she was powerful enough to free Tomas and Gharrar from prison with brute force, she was still honest, and just refused to break into the prison to free Tomas and Gharrar. If they wanted that damn money, she would get them the damn money, now she had the capacity to pay that amout, so she didn't care.
In the beggining, some spies from the Sunflower Industries sneaked in her to try to get some information about the whereabouts of their boss, but after killed them and put their corposses on the vice-president's room more than a few times, they gave up and minded their own bussiness.
As for Selina, after hearing of Laila immediately went to her and asked what happened, wich Laila gradly explained, leaving Selina speechless. Blessed by a god, tested by a beast, killing Vhali and Dara... Selina got emotional at the moment and let out a couple of happy tears.
After making sure that Laila not only wasn't overworking herself in her crazy huntings, but actually was working with minimal effort, they made up a strategy to kill as many monsters as possible, so they could earn enough money to free Gharrar and Tomas.
She worked for 2 months, and on the day of Tomas and Gharrar's execution, she had finally got the money.
On that day, Tomas and Gharrar were about to get beheaded by a guillotine on a public square, but Laila into the execution ceremony with the money in hands, saying she was goin to pay for their freedom.
The Noble, that was present at the day, didn't like it, saying that their time was already up and they were goin to die today, it was the last day of their sentence after all.
But laila wasn't taking a no as answer, she made her way to the guillotines and broke them using her hands.
The noble got furious and imediately ordered his guards to kill her. Laila already expected the piece of shit to not want to let them go, so she fought with all of his soldiers on her own, and when just the noble was left, she aimed to kill him.
The noble was desperate, and threatened her saying that if she killed him, people were goin to come to kill her. To wich she answered "So that they come! I am gonna take the challenge!" and killed him. Freeing her lover and friend from inevitable death.
Tomas and Gharrar were imediately speechless at her sudden leap in strength and didn't utter a word after being released, but Laila just smiled calmy explained what happened.
After the noble was dead, Laila and her party moved into the Noble's Manor, and after 3 days, they received a letter from another noble, one that was allied to the one she killed, annoucing that some of his personel had informed him that she had killed that noble and was goin to send an army to her city, and she could decide if she wanted to surrender and be executed, or resist and be tortured and executed.
It wasn't even a question, obviously, Laila was goin to resist!
Somehow, the people of the town came to know the contents of the letter they received, and imediatelly everyone started to pack their things and leave the city, they didn't want to get involved. But, some of the people of the town, after wittnessing the act of bravery of Laila, stayed on town, and offered to fight by her side, wich she willingly accepted.
For the next 2 days after the letter reched the town, Laila taught the volunteers some basic martial arts and swordmanship, and on the third day, the noble's army reached the town.
The army anounced that they didn't want to make slaughter and just wanted Laila and everyone else involved to surrender, but as a answer, they received one of the toughest fights of their lives.
Laila, Tomas, and Gharrar leaded the assault, and as for the towns people that remained to support Laila, they served as support, but they didn't had many times to shine, because Laila, Tomas and Gharrar were already pretty strong people, and after Laila's leap in power, their team work became even more terrifying.
In a single day, the whole Noble army was annihilated with minimal casualties.
From the army of around 300 people, a single person and a horse remained, Laila let that person and horse live because she wanted the man to deliver a message to the noble he served. The message was simple, she said "Bordering that florest, there isn't no simple town or city, that is my Kingdom, my reign, Britania. I am not willing to give it up to anyone, and if you think you're able to take it from me, try your luck, i am gonna take the challenge" She told the soldier as she slaped the horse making it ran to the distance.
What happened after that were numerous armies from nobles all over the kingdom to come to Britania, but they were utterly defeated every time, and from every army Laila and her group defeated, a dozen or so soldiers surrendered to her, and became her subordinates, quikly making her city- no, quer kingdom, grow.
3 months passed since the birth or Britania, and the previously little and humble city, had became a big and rich kingdom packed with people from many ethnicities, cultures and religions.
After the Kingdom had became stable, Laila ordered the people to build a shrine for the "Great One". The Shrine was absolutely marvelous, Laila didn't spare a single coin, treasure or resourse to built this shrine, it had gold, emeralds, diamonds and rubis everuwhere decorating the place. And after the shrine was built she officially married with Tomas, and they became the first Queen and King from britania.
Quikly after they married and entitled themselves the King and Queen from britania, the news of this happening spread over the kingdom they lived in and reached the ears of the King that currently ruled there.
This no longer a laughing matter, for real now, another kingdom was rising from within his own, and his nobles wouldn't be able to deal with them with their powers. This wasn't just a nuisance anymore, this was WAR, adn if they wanted war, he was goin to give it to them.
The King prepared a giant of 100 thousand soldiers and sent them to Britania, he wanted them DEAD.
