Chapter 41: Camping, Creeps
Ten people, all in their late teens. It was clear they were students of another city’s academy, different from the group they had encountered in Glassblaze Cavern.
"Yeah, we killed it," Almond walked and stood beside Lily with Alfred and Chimera Viperfiend at their sides.
Behind them was just a rocky terrain wall, and to the sides, open. Natalia stayed at the back as she stayed on the lookout.
’Damn, what’s that monster?’
’Must be a summon.’
’That looks a bit familiar...I mean, not exactly, but it looks like a mixture of monsters.’
’Now that you say it, doesn’t that armor and those snake arms look a bit familiar? But it’s as if they got some new design.’
The group started talking in Magic Whisper. It was clear from their lips moving.
The group’s leader seemed to be a fair-brown-skinned boy with a rather calm expression and silky short red hair.
After Almond spoke, there wasn’t any response for three seconds until the red-haired young man said with a nod, "Sorry for disturbing you. We just heard some big sounds, so we came here to take a look."
"No problem. You can go now," Lily nodded, her face deadpan behind her mask. "There’s nothing here."
The red-haired young man nodded before turning around, "Let’s go, y’all."
’Bro, we could totally get those materials if we asked.’
’Yeah, Kylar. Wandering Fairy’s drops can be used to craft a mage-type weapon. Either a wand or a staff with some good effects and affinity with nature-magic.’
’Dolly here has nature-type skills...’
’Shut up,’ Kylar snorted. ’Do you think they will give up on their items just because we are high on number? Learn to read the room.’
’Kylar is right,’ a blue-haired girl, Sophie, rimmed up her glasses with her finger and said, ’None of them were even the slightest injured even while fighting the Wandering Fairy. Their clothes were also fine. The damage in the surroundings indicates that the Fairy couldn’t do much because they had a very strong attacking style. They also had a lot more items on each of them. It was an unusual party.’
’They are strong and higher leveled than us,’ Kylar narrowed his eyes. ’Especially those two who were at the front. Their vibes were dangerous.’
’Geez, I don’t know how you can sense those vibes and shit, but gotta trust you on that since we’ve come this far thanks to you, Kylar.’
’But wait, we are all at Silver level 7 after farming for hours in Briarwood Grove, and we didn’t even see them there. How are they higher leveled than us?’
3 x Sabersnout Hog.
2 x Thornwalker.
’That’s twenty.’
Amond was about to activate it, but he looked at the list, and something clicked in him. ’No, wait...’
If possible, he wanted a slightly more humanoid Spirit Wraith than Chimera Viperfiend next. Among the types of Spirits he had, the only humanoid-type monster was Thornwalker!
’Chilling Spark Panther is not needed since I already added White Polan Tiger. Both are kinda similar, but just different skill sets.’
’Rabbit for agility, Beetle for toughness and wings, Centipede for poison and toughness, Sabersnout had a sword at its snout...this could be interesting.’
He adjusted the Spirits to add inside.
5 x Thornwalker.
3 x White Polan Tiger Spirit.
3 x Lethal Fang Rabbit.
3 x Sabersnout Hog.
2 x White Dust Centipede.
2 x White Reaper Beetle.
2 x Briarweb Spider.
’Yep. This looks good, and hopefully, it will make for an interesting Spirit Wraith,’ Almond grinned and activated Spirit Kodoku with these twenty Spirits.
Almond got up and was about to go out when he suddenly heard some sounds along with a clear voice.
"Hey, beautiful ladies. It looks like you’d love a company, haha. How about we have dinner together?"
Almond raised his eyebrows, his hands slightly shaking. Noticing it, he stopped right before the exit.
’The fuck...Am I expecting a drama and getting excited about it? Don’t tell me...’ Almond gulped, his fist clenching. ’I want to kill people? Am I hoping for a conflict that would result in us killing them to get human Spirits?’
