The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Her First Successful Guiding (1)

The problem with having them fused was like solving two ridiculously difficult math problems at the same time. They intersect with each other, and one can’t tell where to begin to solve.

But if she wanted to reach him, there was no other way.

Aisha floated down; the ground was solid enough. It was blackened and cracked like the surface of a burning riverbed.

But the moment her foot touched it—the ground rippled.

The scorched earth beneath her began to bulge, flesh-colored veins bursting from beneath her feet.

"Wha—!"

Before she could finish her thought, the ground split open, and a mass of root-like tendrils shot towards her.

Aisha threw herself to the side, barely avoiding the first strike. But more roots erupted from around her, following her. This time, they were faster and more determined, like pack of animals that had finally caught the scent of prey.

A flash of light burst from her collar, faint and weak. Knowing where it was coming from, Aisha grabbed her spiritual beast and pushed it into her pocket.

"You can’t use your ability until I say so!"

There was no way Aisha would allow it to use its ability here. There was no telling if it would only bring more harm in its small form.

Naturally, Aisha knew the spiritual beast was trying its best to help her. It only used its power to protect her.

More roots surged forward. They almost caught her, but Aisha evaded before they could touch her.

At this moment, Aisha wished she had her machete with her. Any type of weapon would’ve been fine to cut these roots. Fighting it bare-handed will only draw in more roots to wrap around her. She only has two hands, after all.

Fighting against them alone was really hard.

But Aisha never despaired. Even in her previous world, she fought through any of her adversaries using any method. She survived, and only died because of her own doing.

She dodged another root. But how long can she dodge? As if receiving an answer to her question, one coiled around her wrist. Pain lanced up her arm, heat, and something vicious started to crawl under her skin.

She could sense pure evil from whatever was coming.

"Get off," she snarled.

Aisha gritted her teeth. If she kept fighting like this, her strength would be the first to give up.

She needed to use her guiding ability.

She’d only used it once—to sign her engagement annulment with the prince. For some reason, it created a huge mess because she couldn’t control it. Although the hospital and the medical staff didn’t show it, it was obvious they suspected her as the source of it.

Since that day, a lot of unfamiliar doctors and nurses have entered her room. They made quite a lot of excuses, reasonable and unreasonable ones, just to get close to her. Even the nurse and doctors who were rude to her on the first day she woke up to this world, they watched her as if trying to open her up and see what was inside of her.

But Aisha wasn’t stupid enough to reveal herself like that again.
