RESUME
"Medusa, Okay, which one?"
"Umm… the good one."
"Wait." She said as she stand up and go to one of the shelves and get the book handing it to Pon. "Find which one you meet." Pon opened the book and every page has detailed information about other monsters and their doppelgangers including medusa.
"I never met this one but I know that this is the lizard killing one just by looking at her," Pon said surprised by the amount of detailed information by each monster. "You even have the name of their former tamer." Said Pon.
"This Medusa has a tamer and so as the other but why are they like not acting like a tame or something is their tame removed because of the memory wiping?"
"Well, it's because her tamer is dead, You see all of the Medusa are tamed by us."
"Oh, That's why wait… This here, She is the Medusa that killed the Demon God!" Pon said as he pointed at the handmade drawing of Medusa. Also written in the book is Her personality she is stated to be a good-hearted woman cursed to be hated by all.
"Well, you see there, all of their stories are not from the myths we know."
"I see, she is good, We still have our retrieval mission tomorrow I still need to prepare. I'll see you later."
Pon left the record and went to his cave where everyone was waiting to discuss the plan. "I'm sorry I'm late. Anyways let's start." All of them replied with a nod.
"Let's form a group first, the first group contains Me, Kleo, Hisses, Ukarza, and Victor, the second group contains Heptasis's Party and Vincent, the third group is Ore, Fool and Bite's men, Liant and the wolves, and the fourth and last group is Metal, Aqeka and the jakals.
"Hisses told me about the island and there are 4 bases up the mountain scouting the area and we need the third group to get the attention of the scouts of the first base and the fourth group to distract the second base.
And Hisses said that all four bases are connected by a tunnel and just below the pond near the third base there is a tunnel and I will use my 'Permeation' skill to go down and I will summon the first and second group underground and while we find the shield the second group will slow down the monsters that saw me go down.
If the third and fourth groups manage to succeed and killed all the monsters at the first and second base then they can continue by reforming the tunnel for the other monsters if they come inside and if they failed it is okay because I am gonna summon them and they can do it from the inside."
"What if the Medusa have the shield and use it on us?" Heptasis asked questioning what will happen if the plan failed.
"If we fail then it's okay because the other Medusa will take the chance to kill the other and find a way to free us but will not let that happen I have a plan if she has the shield.
"Okay, if you get petrified then how are you gonna tell Medusa that you are petrified?"
"I'll use this a ring she gave me that I can use to talk to her using telepathy."
"Let's say we got petrified and she killed the other how can we be so sure that she will help us get unpetrified."
"Don't worry I know she will," Pon said and grabbed Heptasis's shoulder.
"And the gathering team consist of 10 of each including lizardmen, orcs, goblins. That's all the plan and we are going to begin later we still have 7 hours of sleep. Meeting dismissed everyone takes a rest." Pon said and left the meeting hut.
After seven hours of rest, they got ready for the mission sounds of equipment hitting each other were heard all around the base as they get ready Train finished up repairing all the equipment after staying up all night to repair all of their broken equipment.
Again they left their base in the morning when the red moon turns back to normal and every monster turns back to its original state. They know that the monsters outside knew about their connection to Medusa but they still tried to be cautious.
As soon as the monsters feel their attraction to Pon they followed his smell but when they saw him they tried and forced themselves to not do anything foolish that will lead them. All of them could do is scream and howl that way they can warn other monsters about Pon and make their escape to avoid the attraction.
They arrived at the mountain where Medusa's cave is located and before they continue their journey Medusa gave Pon a strange Item that even his appraisal skill can't appraise.
Because of the death of the leading monster on the speed island, the monsters can now go run wild and because of that the monsters down there sense Pon and got attracted to him and because of they just hide because the monsters do not know who they are wanting to attack.
The monsters crossed the small ocean pond and climbed up. Medusa seeing them climb, roar, and destroy the mountain, kneeled down and touched the ground as she took a deep breath and exhaled smoke come out of her mouth and on the ground green fluid came out.
The monsters roared and the sound of pounding slowly stopped then the smoke slowly disappear and the sight monster's dead corpse shocked all of them. "I open the path for you, you can go down now. Also, bring some of them with you." She said as she stood up with a serious face as turned her head to the snakes.
"Ah, Yes," Pon replied as they jumped down and slide down the smooth mountain. The monsters on the speed island all run towards them as they charge toward each other Pon's team used magic barriers and other defence skills to knock down the incoming monsters.
"Set out!" Pon shouted as everyone hear Pon's command the designated team scattered. The Boss monster that has been hiding finally came out and they jumped and slam to the ground as the ground shooked and a giant thick wall made of rocks covered them.
"Drill," Pon said to Ukarza, She followed the command but to no avail, the damage to the wall was immediately repaired after just a few seconds. Pon created a wall to separate their group from the monsters.
Because of the lack of power and strength of monsters on the island, they took a while to destroy the wall and as they destroy the wall, bats poured out and attacked them. After all the bats left the room Pon created another barrier.
"Boom!" Pon said as the other side blow up and killed the boss monsters. It turns out Pon used the 'Time Bomb' skill on Victor's puppet bats." Ukarza used her special ability to drill through the wall again now working this time and freeing themselves.
This went on for hours after the boss monsters can't help themselves after they got attracted to Pon. Pon's group is the one that left a trail of dead corpses behind while the others are travelling smoothly and no monsters are attacking them.
"Hugh, I didn't think of this," Pon said while panting. "Master, I sensed the presence of other snakes hiding behind those broken trees." Hisses said as he whip his tail quickly making a similar sound that Medusa made when fighting the Demon God.
"Are you gonna kill them?" Pon asked as he used Echolocation to find the snakes.
"No." Hisses replied and swallowed his saliva.
"Then why? Are you scared or you don't want to kill them?"
"No. I'm excited." Hisses replied smiling and laughing hysterically. Hisses jumped and rolled and landed his tail on the ground making a small crack and shaking the ground also making the snakes reveal themselves.
"He said he won't kill them?" Pon said as he looked back at Hisses slowly defeating the other snakes and Hisses being left behind and Ukarza stopped."
"Master, Go on I made you a map so I'll meet you in there later!" Hisses said as he turned away and separated his head again turning into 3.
"You heard him let's go." Pon said to Ukarza and She replied "Yes.".
"It's a good thing I duplicated the language scroll but creating another scroll is a good way to increase our mana and magic spell mastery," Pon said to himself.
They reached the end of the speed island reaching the mountain. "Oh, they already took care of the bird monsters," Pon said smiling. On the mountain, they saw the first mountain full of Medusa's monsters and the third group climbing the mountain and burning their camp.
"Let's go we need to hurry," Pon said to Ukarza. After going gown the other monsters got attracted to Pon and followed him seeing him about to cross the sorcerer island the monsters ambushed them but Pon knew they were there and Vitor sliced them in half.
"Ukarza, do you think we can go down underground with your 'Drill' and still have at least 30% of usage?" Pon asked Ukarza because he is getting annoyed by the monsters wasting their time and killing themselves.
"If now no, but I think if we pass the first mountain we can." She replied.
"Let's do that."
After running through the forest they finally left and saw the camp at the first mountain burnt down and saw the third group's location on his map already inside.
"Master, why can't we just enter the first mountain?" Victor asked confused by Pon's plan.
"Inside is where the monsters live so if we enter any of the camps we will have to fight them and waste our energy and because of the snakes with us she will think that the other Medusa is leading them."
"I, see," Victor replied as he wave his cape and killed the small monsters.
"Only small monsters are here I think we don't need to go down yet unless there are bosses here."
They have been running for 40 minutes but they are still far from the pond.
"Hisses, are we still far from the pond?" Pon said as he turn around and remembered that they left him behind.
The third group is slowly making progress because of the monster's trap spells and because of that many of them are in a bad state but thanks to Claudia's Saintess Class her healing spells are prevented them from dying. The monsters living in the tunnel were goblin sized monsters and because of the size of the tunnel, the third group is a disadvantage.
"Guk uku gugu uko!" The roaring sound of a monster terrified the sorcerer monsters making them run. "What is the what happened?" Said Claudia.
"Guku!" The monster runs through the narrow tunnel and widens the tunnel. The monster is wearing orange gloves and is neckless. The monster attacked by punching the air and releasing a fire fist and blowing up what it touches.
"Be careful, Its class is a Magic Brawler, they have great strength and their magic is destructive and it's a boss monster." Stature said warning the group.
The monster clench its fist and smashes it to the wall and because of a shield skill they blocked they deflected the attack and widen the tunnel more.
"We can't let him destroy the area more or he will have a bigger space to cast more of his powerful skills," Heptasis said as he lower his presence and mana using his skills and sneak up to the monster and stab his blade into the monster's leg only for the monster to detect him and slaps him away.
