Eros landed, distant from the entrance of Entomoworld. He was not alone; instead, he was with his reliable friend, Sebastian La Martin. The man was around in his early thirties; that's what he told his friend circle. No one knew his real age, though.
Sebastian had brown eyes and blue hair that displayed his race. He was a renowned magus, had knowledge of insects, and could speak a common tongue.
"Why do you let Perry go when she can help fight those tiny monsters? " Sebastian asked, referring to a giant bird that was ready to depart.
Sighed, Eros answered. "She will hinder our mission. A bird in this forest is the definition of death."
Sebastian narrowed his eyes. Knowing his friend's personality, this man is plotting something.
He opened his mouth in curiosity. "What about the fat cat you brought with us?" He pointed at Klaus, who was licking his paw. "Don't you think he will also bring disaster?"
"No! He is our mascot."
Sebastian sneered to find out. "Him. A fat cat, a mascot."
Seeing Sebastian's mockery, Klaus gave him a death stare. He didn't like being called obese.
Klaus was one of the strongest familiars, and his ability to locate something was beyond that. The reason he was so overweight was due to not going on any missions anymore. More or less, he became a domesticated cat, eating tuna every day.
Eros crouched down and instructed his cat to sniff a piece of cloth. It was given by Mr. Yang, and this belonged to their son.
"Boy, find the man for me. "
Smelling, Klaus paced in the north direction while others were chasing him.
"Meow, meow. "
The forest was an entire maze where someone could enter but couldn't go against their will. The thick canopy trees would provide 10% of the visibility in the forest.
The dark and gloomy ambience and the weeping of a widow could be heard everywhere. His friend, Sebastian, was grabbing his sleeves as he was horrified by the sound.
"Why are you wimpy like a boy? " Eros asked, unbothered by it.
"You don't know how vicious these creatures are."
Ignoring the screedy chicken, he focused on Klaus.
Klaus's pace was getting faster and faster, as he was so enthusiastic to be with the Master. He jumped, then moved forward to a narrow lane and disappeared in thin air.
Eros matched his speed and found it amusing to see that his pet was so energetic.
Suddenly, the feline stopped. He softly purred, indicating he had found the guy.
Eros looked at the hollow tree and rolled his eyes in disappointment. There was nothing here except some wild mushrooms.
" Fattie Cat!" Sebastian's voice had a hint of mockery, offering a smirk.
Eros, on the other hand, observed the damp land, and many varieties of mushrooms were grown. These seemed ordinary. Therefore, nothing is ordinary in Entomoworld.
"Sebastian, I want you to use your location spell here. " He ordered.
He shifted his attention to Eros, exclaiming in a dismal tone. "Why don't you use yourself? "
"Can't. "
Hearing this, Sebastian was a bit anxious.
"Oh, thee, wind!
Blessed upon me with your power. Thyn son needs it.
Locatum Signtum. " Sebastian incarnated the spell. Some natural-born magi are blessed by nature. In Sebastian's case, he was gifted by the god of wind. For four generations, the Martin family inherited wind power through them.
Nothing happened!
"Locatum Signtum."
Both of them gave each other puzzled looks. Eros patted his shoulder in pity and dashed forward.
If M2 magic didn't work, it only means that the charge of M2 magic and the forest is likewise. Furthermore, the law of attraction states that if two charges were similar, they would repel other bodies. This was occurring here.
Perhaps it was the reason why soldiers were defeated so easily. In addition, they were smaller in number.
Eros commented. "It seems magic is useless here."
Sebastian was disappointed, as he couldn't cast spells now. "How about you handle everything? I wait for you outside. "
"No, you are coming with me. "
Sebastian clicked his tongue solemnly.
Their journey had already begun, and they couldn't wield magic. For Eros, it wasn't a big deal. Being outstanding at using every weapon, he could outshine in this task. But the question is: how many days would he have to? The forest was filled with eccentric yet treacherous insects.
Suddenly, a childish voice whispered in the back of his head.
"We have guests here, la. Sister, what do you think of the black-haired guy, la?"
Another sound he discovered was feminine. "He is not too handsome, yet too fat. "
Eros looked around, but nobody was present. "Who is there? "
"Why are you so grumpy?"
"I am not. Come out, you bastard. "
"No! "
"Don't blame me when I char your skin and eat you."
"Crazy bastard!"
All of a sudden, a third voice rang in his head, and she was thrilled to see him.
"Eros la, my darling. Is that you? "
"Canary, reveal yourself. " Perhaps Eros did know who they were.
When Eros came two decades ago, he met a group of purple oyster mushrooms. He had joined their alliance and fought against golden-fungus beetles. Afterwards, he was popular among mushrooms.
Furthermore, these mushrooms loved to play with the visitors's minds. If someone ate it, then they would have symptoms of delusion and diarrhoea. For a hard-core vegan, they should be a deadly nightmare.
Sebastian was surprised that Eros was talking to himself. Sort of what a maniac did. He called him multiple times, but he didn't respond to him once. Giving up, he sat down on the damp ground and crossed his legs.
Out of a blue sheath of fungi that emerged from the wood trunk, it was around palm-sized. Then two fungi came later, and compared to the first one, they were shorter. All had a big head on their bodies, and the body was like a sponge.
Klaus greeted them politely. "Meow meow." He quickly grabbed one of them out of curiosity and put it in his mouth.
Eros's face was sombre after watching it. More or less, he was terrified of that….
"KLAUS! "
A mother and daughter turned blue and purple and attacked them with full wrath.
"Eros Mcflan! You must not come here. " The mother of purple oysters was fuming in wrath while an army of fungi appeared.
Their friendship ended just like that.
"Uhh ohh!"
A whole army was chasing them because of his pet mistake. Klaus was unbothered by it and drooled over to eat all the mushrooms. If these mushrooms were cooked well, they would taste exceptionally well. Despite that, Eros decided on the opposite of his pet wish.
"Run! " Eros screamed from the top of his lungs.
At the moment, they must avoid unnecessary bickering.
