The Eldest Daughter Walks the Path of Flowers Episode 27

She stood perched like a cat lurking on a tree branch, looking down below.

There were more monsters than she had expected.

She pulled out a handful of poison arrows from the dead Goblin’s quiver and scattered them with mana.

Bang bang bang!

It was her first time imbuing arrows with mana, but the effect wasn’t bad.

Since she scattered them haphazardly, her aim was terrible and most stuck into the ground, but she could see several Goblins clutching their foreheads and shoulders, staggering.

Hit by poison arrows, they probably wouldn’t be able to fight for a while.

Radis turned her gaze to her sword.

Like solid firewood set ablaze, crimson flames were burning fiercely.

Scattering arrows imbued with mana was also to test the amount of her mana.

‘I don’t feel like my mana is running low.’

With her swordsmanship that had reached mastery through training in her previous life, combined with this inexhaustibly abundant mana, Radis couldn’t fathom how strong she had become.

“I should try using it to my heart’s content.”

Radis gripped her sword properly.

The flames wrapping around the iron sword blazed bright crimson.

She leaped straight into the horde of monsters.

Though Goblins were said not to fear fire, the flames before their eyes were on a completely different level from mere torches.

Before even touching or grazing them, their flesh began to sizzle and burn.

The Goblins, instinctively sensing danger, shrieked and tried to retreat.

However, Radis had no intention of sparing them.

The blazing flame sword carved out several paths.

The monsters caught in those paths had their hide sizzle and burn from the start, soon their flesh burst and even their bones melted away.

With horrific screams, crimson flames and black blood droplets bloomed everywhere.

The dance of flames only ended when all the visible monsters had disappeared.

Radis collapsed carelessly on the ground, gasping for breath.

After using up her mana to the very bottom, she finally felt like she had used a decent amount.

“If I still have overflowing mana after scattering it in all directions like this, then that would be monstrous.”

Radis used her iron sword, its blade nearly crumbling, to dig through the Goblin flesh where she sensed mana and recovered Mana Crystals.

The harvest was quite good.

Since Goblins were monsters with at least some intelligence, the quality of their Mana Crystals was quite good compared to the hunting difficulty.

Radis carefully tucked the recovered Mana Crystals into the pouch in her bosom.

Feeling the Mana Crystals clinking together gave her a sense of satisfaction.

In her previous life, Mana Crystals had only passed through her hands briefly, but now these Mana Crystals would become her independence fund entirely.

“And…”

She gathered the remains of the victims that had been in the corner of the Pioneer Settlement.

Horrifyingly, among the remains were bones that appeared to belong to a child.

Her heart ached at the fact that she had arrived too late.

She picked up a crude greatsword that had been rolling on the ground, dug the earth shallowly, and buried the remains.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”

Radis stuck her iron sword, which was on the verge of falling apart, in place of a gravestone.

After that, she set fire to the broken Wooden Palisade.

Soaked in monster blood, Radis sat on a rock and muttered while watching the Pioneer Settlement burn brightly.

“Right… the full-scale extermination hasn’t started yet.”

The Imperial Monster Hunting Corps began moving from Imperial Year 495, according to her memory.

In other words, after Robert became the leader of the Extermination Troops.

‘Three years from now.’

The current Imperial Monster Hunting Corps without Robert was practically useless.

During this period, monster hunting was entirely the responsibility of each Estate’s Extermination Troops.

Naturally, Estate-affiliated Extermination Troops prioritized monster hunting near their territories and protecting their estates, so Pioneer settlements and small villages like this inevitably suffered severe damage.

Radis confirmed that the flames burning the monster remains had died down, then stood up.

Not wanting to catch a cold again, she headed to a location she had spotted earlier.

It seemed to be a base that Pioneers had built to stay at when traveling the roads, with a hearth for boiling water and firewood, allowing her to take a simple bath.

The horse she had ridden from Russel Manor was also tied there.

After boiling water, Radis crouched in the bathtub, waiting for the sticky monster blood to wash away while lost in thought.

‘If this second life continues, and if I become much stronger than before… could I change the future too?’

Radis scrubbed her skin to wash off the black, dried monster blood.

Then her fair skin was revealed.

Radis found this fascinating and examined various parts of her body.

“Did I develop immunity to mana? Is that even possible?”

No matter how low-level the monsters were, after being covered in this much blood, she should feel at least some poisoning symptoms, but there were none.

“Is it because I’m eating well and resting properly?”

Radis had absolutely no desire to suffer from mana poisoning in this life.

So if necessary, she was even prepared to sell Mana Crystals and go to the Temple for purification rituals.

However, she strangely felt no influence from the mana.

“Well, I really am eating and resting well.”

Crouched in the bathtub, Radis smiled happily.

She remembered Berry whispering to her about today’s snack last night.

“What on earth is banana toffee pie?”

The desserts Brendan made were all things she had never tried before, but they had one thing in common—they were all delicious.

So delicious that they could make her lose her reason for a moment.

After finishing a whole plate with fragrant tea, she would feel as if she had been reborn.

Perhaps sweet desserts had purification effects equal to a priest’s purification ritual.

Radis couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped up from her seat.

“Ah, I’m too hungry to bear it…!”

She roughly dried herself off, then mounted her horse and headed toward Russel Manor.

It was just another ordinary day where Eve Russel would fly into a rage upon hearing that Radis had taken another solo night stroll, and Allen would block the furious Lord while telling him not to wake Radis.
