Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 123: Missing Mother
Natan did not sleep all night waiting for Anna to come to ask about Brianna Alexander, but until morning never saw her coming. Usually, Anna would come every two hours since replacing Ainsley.
"Where is he?" Natan sat on the balcony railing of her room, looking straight ahead expressionlessly.
Natan looked at the bracelet on her left hand and said softly, "I'm sure she's Mom, because no one knows about this bracelet. This bracelet is exactly the same, from color, thread thickness, wood carving, and so on."
"It's been eight hours since he left, he should have come four times, but ..." Natan took a deep breath.
"Natan~"
Natan heard someone calling her from behind, but she ignored him and her gaze remained fixed on the snowy expanse in the courtyard. His mind was muddled with his mother, and he was very sure that the one who came last night was his mother. He did not know why he had been hiding himself all this time, why not come to him during the early days of World Destruction.
"Is Dad alive?" Natan's eyes were wide open, a terrible smile was also seen on his face like a person affected by a mental disorder.
"Yes!" Natan stood up suddenly and laughed out loud, thinking about her father who was still alive made her more excited and mentally more disturbed. "Dad is alive! Sure is!"
Calista who was standing behind Natan, fell silent with a worried look. Immediately, he pulled Natan down and hugged her tightly. "Natan, relax! Didn't you say that your parents are gone?"
Natan flinched, back in her consciousness. Tears gathered in his eyes, but he tried to hold it back from breaking.
Calista no longer spoke, only silently hugging Natan and patting her head to calm down. He did not know what made Nathan this way, nor did he ask before being told by Nathan himself.
Vely and Olivia remained in the room. The two looked at each other, thinking about what had really happened to Natan. Then, the two of them stood behind Calista worriedly.
Natan held her breath until she calmed down, then released herself from Calista's embrace.
"This bracelet ..." Nathan looked at the bracelet in his left hand. "The exact same bracelet my mother gave me when I was a kid. I thought the NPC last night was my mother. If remembered, his voice was almost the same even though he was trying to change it."
"Be-Right!?" Calista shouted a little.
Natan gave a small nod and again said, "Yes, isn't it weird? He knew that I was a birthday, knew my age and even prepared gifts. Our first meeting, he also talked about Alexander's family in England, and it just so happened that my mother was from England."
Calista's body trembled as he rippled his mind which hopefully didn't happen. He raised his hand slowly and clenched it in front of his chest. "A-Will Nathan go there?"
Natan was silent about hiding his intentions. He was planning to go to England, see his Grandmother whether she was alive or not, after 15 years of not contacting each other.
Calista bit his aunt, trying to stay calm and sincere. "Go, I know Natan wants to go there. I want to come, but it looks like you won't allow it."
"I'll stay a week, or at least until spring comes." There was no way that Natan would leave right now, at a time when the new Armonia Guild was expanding territory and there was a lot to keep an eye on. Moreover, it was still winter, many monsters were roaming around.
Natan was not afraid of monsters, it was just that he had to keep the monsters from entering the Armonia Guild territory. After all, he was a Guildmaster who had a lot of responsibilities.
"I'll leave Kuro and Kori here, when I ask for help, you guys can catch up with him. I'm gonna set up a safe path for you to cross."
Natan hugged the three of them in turn, and kept the Skeleton Knight and Magic Archer in their respective shadows to monitor how they were doing.
"I go first, I want to release emotions by killing monsters outside the walls."
Natan turned around wearing the black coat she had kept in the Inventory, then jumped down from the balcony of the room. He was immediately greeted by the Bee Knight or Bee Knight who appeared from within his shadow.
The Bee Knight took Natan to the northeastern part of Chengdu City, coming to far fewer monsters, but of a higher level.
Calista placed both of her hands near her mouth, then shouted, "Make sure to go home before dinner!"
Olivia stepped in front of Calista and stood while holding onto the balcony railing. "Calista, are you seriously letting Natan go? Aren't you sad?"
Calista let out a long sigh, then replied, "Sad? Sure, but I can't keep him here or come along, I'm just a burden to him. When he leaves, we will keep the Armonia Guild safe and level up ..."
"But, forget about the level, we have to improve the experience. In fact, Natan could easily fight an enemy stronger than her" Calista continued standing beside Olivia.
Vely looked at the Bee Knight who had moved from south to northeast. "He's always pushing himself and working hard, more than he is. But, in the depths of his heart, he felt sad and very healthy ..."
"Lonely because of small lives alone." Vely sighed, imagining his junior high school days when he met Natan.
Calista and Olivia turn to see Vely, then ask to tell him about Natan who was not finished.

The Bee Knight did not take long to arrive, despite its large size, it turned out that its speed was faster than Fire Dragon. In terms of weight, it was indeed heavier Skeleton Fire Dragon and it affected its speed.
Nathan had already reached the northeastern part of the Armonia Guild, not in Chengdu City, but Longquan Mountain.
"The monsters here are fewer due to the sheer high cliffs. The monster would pass through the mountain, but was killed when it was mired into the abyss. Only a few managed to survive and tried to climb the cliff into the Armonia Guild."
Natan looked at the interface screen in front of her eyes and took out a few wooden barrels containing flammable liquid. Without lingering, he kicked a few barrels, which at least the unit could hold 120 liters.
When the barrel made of wood fell on the pile of monsters, the barrel broke and drenched the monsters with flammable liquid.
Natan took out a molotov cocktail. He lit his wick, then threw it on the pile of monsters that fell back because of their slippery bodies.
Boom up!
The fire burned the monster with the loud sound of the explosion and the cry of the monster trying to get out of the fire; the snow around it began to melt to extinguish the fire, but because the fire was bigger, the fire was bigger, the melted snow instantly evaporated.
"When facing a large number of monsters, there was no need to resort to such foolish means of attacking him from close range. Use the easiest but most effective way!" natan is excited.
Natan looks bored because he always got weaker enemies than him, he is eager to use all abilities like when fighting Fire Dragon in Dungeon Tower. Then, despite getting strong opponents, they were also too many and he used Skeleton Squad.
It is eager for Natan to fight one on one in order to improve his abilities or defend him. He did not want the martial ability he mastered to be blunt.
"When I go to England, maybe I can meet a strong opponent."
To go to the United Kingdom, Natan had to go through Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Poland, Germany. Natan looks forward to the trip later after winter ends and into spring.
"My level is five hundred and thirty. Though, I didn't put in much effort, maybe because I could get Point Exp even if I didn't kill. Just as the Taiyang Guild killed monsters, I earned twenty-five percent of the Exp Points they earned."
Natan doesn't know if he'll still get Point Exp on his way out of China, but hopefully he can still get Point Exp.
Natan lowered her head, looking at the flames that were still burning thousands of monsters. "I'll wait here for a while, then move to the southeast."
