everyone was excited for this trip. everyone but me.
i can't help but growl at the thought of what that god had whispered to me before i lose my consciousness under that sakura tree.
"go to the fountain of tears, if you cherish your family."
that made me super angry and i wanted to bashed that god's face, if i could. it felt like he threatening me but in the same time warning me.. so, i couldn't make up my mind whether to be pissed or scared. these two emotions doesn't goes well with me, thankfully Kuro improved my mood with great food and coffee. i am really enjoying this life and i don't mind living it through for a long, long time...
Lulu, Miya beast pet transformed into a giant phoenix pink bird beast. Miya and Ailee ride on Lulu and soar up above the sky. I used fly skill to travel and offered to bring Kuro with me. He sighs dramatically.
"While I would definitely love to wrapped my hand around you the whole journey, I don't like the idea of burdening you. I'll fly" it didnt surprise me that he could fly. The kids might not realised it but Kuro is definitely powerful man. People don't just respect their tribe because of their money and status, but they also acknowledge that they are powerful and could easily levelled a whole country, I assume. Remembering the day when Miya and Ailee almost got kidnapped.. that made me shudder, feeling the chill down to my bone.
The red mist, and the teleportation.. speaking of teleportation..
"Why aren't you using your teleportation skill? Isn't that way easier to move?" I shouted over-the sound of howling wind as we were flying fast enough to hear it.
"It is.. but that would take all the joy travelling together, wont it?" He winked and I swear it was like he had another invisible mouth that stay close to my right ear. I could hear him perfectly. I gotta learn that later.
We stayed together in a group. It wasn't long until we found a canyon-like terrain. It was tall and big.. look kinda dangerous. Miya bird beast, Lulu start to make a sound like an eagle. as if trying to warn us something.
"Whats wrong,LuLu?" Asked Miya, brushing her pet feathery neck. Lulu fly round and round and then went back behind us. Kuro eye's sharpened and he hold up his hand at me, stopping me from making any unnecessary moves.
"What is it?" I asked, looking at Kuro serious face.
"Something is here.." as soon as his said that words, the sun was gone instantly, covered by 'something' dark.
"That's not something! Thats like thousands of bugs!" Just like a locust back in the world, this one travel in a group, Thousands of strange bugs the size of Adult head flying in a flock with a big buzzing wings. The mere sound of the wings was enough to instilled fear in one's heart. I'm fine with one or ten bugs.. but more? the little hairs behind my neck and on my hands stood up.. I can see my goose bumps appear on my skin and it doesn't when Kuro cursed and look at Ailee.
"Barrier, now!"
Ailee who paled, look at the bugs.. quickly summoned barrier around us. Miya had already fainted seeing the bugs. She never liked bugs. I had to trained her from time to time just to touch one small and harmless bettle. It took me two years. Imagine when your worse fear become a nightmare... ailee had her arm around Miya, to keep her in place, and once again, I know its not time to feel so, but I am proud of her quick thinking as a sister.
"We have to hide. Find somewhere that had a small opening. Then we'll gank on them.." Said Kuro.
"Can't you beat them?"
"I can but right now.." he look at the kids and i know that he's concerned about them.
"Okay. Then let's find some-" and the whole buzzing army of flying bugs charged forward, spitting a blue like liquid.
Lulu waved her feathered wings and throw a powerful gust of wind to block the spits, but only managed to block some. Thankfully, Ailee barrier managed withstand the attacks. We quickly fly upward and went to the canyon. Scanning place by place that could be our temporary fort to with fight the monsters bugs.
"there!!" I saw an opening, enough to fit six people. When we entered the opening, Lulu transform into her smaller size and fly inside.
"This is dangerous.. these things should only appear near the south, where its dry and sandy.. I dont know why it come here.. "
Kuro flip something and a laser of red light shot outside.
"Is it hard to beat?"
"Its a grade six monster for its mad fighting skill. They don't think. They just attack, and will keep on attacking even if it lose its head. You have to take out their core or destroy them completely."
