After cleaning his body Lewis quickly wore the clothes he was given, a brown shirt and a trouser that was just about his size.
"I'm done" Lewis announced and Lillian walked out from behind the tree.
"I'm done so I'll be leaving, the water is still hot by the way," Lewis said.
"You are leaving?" Lillian asked.
"Huh!! Oh yes, do you want me to stay, I can wait till you are done if you want" Lewis said.
"No that's not what I was going to stay, do you know the way back?" Lillian asked with her cheeks bright red.
"It's not that hard to find my way back, I'll be okay" Lewis replied.
"Okay then," Lillian said as she walked towards the bath and Lewis walked away.
Lewis walked around for a while before realizing something, he had no idea where he was and how to get back to the tent.
"What's wrong with this forest, it feels like I'm walking around in circles, I should have looked around when Lillian was taking me instead of just following her" Lewis sighed heavily.
'What do I do, I don't even know my way back to the bath so I can't ask Lillian for help, I'm not even sure she'll be there, shit...Maybe I should summon Xavier, he might have an idea'
>GROWL!!<
Lewis heard growling sounds coming from behind him, he quickly turned around and saw a wolf looking directly at him with its fangs out.
"Seriously, now is not the time, come forth Xavier" Lewis muttered as he placed his hands on the ground.
"Oh finally, what took you so long to..." Xavier stopped as soon as he heard the growling sounds, now it wasn't coming from one wolf but from a pack of wolves.
"This is bad, Xavier can you see clearly, I can't see that well," Lewis said.
"Yes I can, and one of the wolves is currently sneaking up on you" Xavier spoke as he dashed towards the wolf behind Lewis, the wolf quickly jumped backward to avoid Xavier's sword.
Lewis placed his hands towards and lit up a small flame so he could see his surroundings, the wolves were all around him and he knew fighting under this condition wasn't good.
[Fireball]
Lewis dashed toward a group of wolves in front of him and cast give fireball toward the wolves in an attempt to blind them, In an instant he raced past them while they tried to avoid his flames.
Xavier quickly followed him as both of them raced forward away from the wolves, "Xavier, do you have an idea where we are?" Lewis asked.
"What!! You don't know where we are, wait...how did you get here, I thought you were staying with that pretty elf girl" Xavier shouted.
"Yeah, then I got lost after taking a bath in the forest, and I think the wolves are chasing us," Lewis said.
"I have no idea where we are or where we are heading, but there are twenty wolves currently chasing us so we need to do something about them," Xavier said.
"You should fight them while I run away, that's a good idea right"
"That's a bad idea, I forgot to tell you another thing, the further you are from me, the weaker I get, so if you run away, I'll be defeated in mere seconds, and I can fight while protecting you" Xavier spoke.
"Then what do we do, I barely have any Mana left after heating the water I used to bath so I'm not in a fighting condition, secondly I can't see clearly cause it's nighttime and wolves are pretty fast"
"So you used all your Mana to heat water to bath, I can't believe you are my master"
"I can't believe it either, a week ago I was in my room playing video games, and now I'm running away from wolves with a skeleton beside me" Lewis spoke.
"What is a video game, is that a type of game?" Xavier asked.
"What's that in front of us, is that a wall, a transparent wall?" Lewis shouted.
"A wall, I can't see anything in front," Xavier said.
"Xavier run in front of me and see what it is, try to run past it," Lewis said.
"You got it," Xavier said as he dashed forward, he couldn't see the wall Lewis was seeing so he kept running till he collided with an invisible force.
Xavier fell to the ground immediately but he quickly stood up, he stretched his hands forward this time, and to his surprise, he touched a hard surface, even though he could see through the invisible wall, he couldn't pass through it.
Lewis saw that Xavier was trying to break through with his sword but he had no luck, till he arrived.
"The wolves are seconds away from catching up, why can't we pass through" Xavier shouted.
>GROWL!!<
"Maybe someone is trying to keep people out, wait, we are in the forest why would... Alfred" Lewis shouted as he walked through the invisible wall.
The wolves lunged towards Lewis but Xavier jumped and placed his body between the wolves and Lewis but all of them were stopped by the barrier.
Lewis had forgotten that Alfred was the one who placed the barrier around to avoid beasts.
The wolves left Xavier and tried to get to Lewis but none of them could, Xavier used the opportunity to move away from the wolves, it seems none of them cared about a skeleton without edible parts.
"I forgot that the barrier was placed by Alfred" Lewis smiled as he spoke.
"Wait, so the wolves can't get in?"
"Yes, and we are close right so you have nothing to worry about, kill them all" Lewis snorted.
"Of course" Xavier answered as he brandished his sword.
