Chapter 278
Chapter 278 - Let's Fight the Wyverns
The standby group was inside a forest a little apart from the entrance to the Vordo Ruins .
Tiara was concentrating on her summoned knight inside the Thunder Chariot . Hippomaru-kun was connected to it, and the Tatsuyoshi-kuns and other Hippo-kuns were stationed as guards around it . And Naoki, Lyle, and Tatsuo were vigilant of the area around Tiara .
Though saying that, the Dragon Spirit from Hippomaru-kun's ram kept low-ranking monsters away . For that reason, far from fighting any monsters, at the present time Naoki and the others hadn't even been approached .
「I'm free . 」
Lyle was looking at the sky while saying that . Although he said he was free, his expression was by no means relaxed . After all, since they were on the outer edge of the island, high-ranking monsters like Griffons and Wyverns might appear . It was certainly regrettable to Lyle that he couldn't enter the ruins, but escorting here could be considered equivalent to a rank B Guild request . The casualty rate wasn't as high as inside the ruins, but there was no mistaking that the area itself had a high degree of difficulty .
『There are no monster scents, Lyle . Mother is still gone?』
Tatsuo asked Lyle below him as he flew around in the sky . He was turning in circles while being vigilant of the surroundings .
「No, they only just entered, right? Well, they'll probably be back around dusk . Unlike a dungeon, it seems there's no resting place inside . 」
It seemed there was a boss-class monster on each level, but apparently, Adamant Skull Ashuras still attacked even when fighting them . One could be surrounded and killed even during a boss battle unless the boss was killed quickly . That was the place called Vordo Ruins .
『Is that so? Will Mother be okay?』
「Your mother should be fine . It feels like no matter what happens, she won't die . 」
Since she had the powerful Skill Cheat Death, in a certain sense, Lyle's words were correct . It could only prevent a single fatal blow, though .
『Is that so? Ahー I also wanted to go inside!ーー』
Tatsuo said while flying around in circles . Lyle told him「If you fly too high, you'll summon monsters, so be careful . 」Tatsuo cried Kweh in reply and returned to the ground .
That wasn't a trifling threat . To human beings, Tatsuo was a rare existence that would surely be aimed for if his true identity became known, but that was, in fact, the same for monsters; he had a small body that seemed easy to hunt and eat, and furthermore, eating him would almost certainly cause a monster to evolve, making him a delicious existence to them .
『Teiya!』
And with flapping wings, Tatsuo landed on Lyle's shoulder . One month had passed since he had been born, but his appearance had yet to change . It seemed that currently, his magical power body was in the process of becoming fixed as a material body . Real growth would start after a little while more . Though since Tatsuo was in the process of becoming fairly proficient with the Skills inside him, he had become dramatically stronger in comparison to the short amount of time that had passed since his birth .
In particular, his ability to adjust the power of Mega Beam and shoot it in succession was valuable war potential for the『White Party』, as they had few ways of attacking at long distance .
「Well, you have the same scent smelling power as your mother . Instead of flying around, be on guard that way . 」
Tatsuo replied Kwaa to Lyle's words . Lyle was being vigilant to the surroundings in his own way, and Lyle's friend Naoki was sitting beside him with eyes closed .
「You aren't sleeping, right?」
「……I'm not sleeping . 」
Naoki sullenly opened his mouth after Lyle's words .
「I'm looking at the surroundings with my Distant View Earrings . I told you earlier, didn't I?」
So saying, Naoki tapped the round gemstone earring in his ear . That earring had the same capabilities as Kazane's Remote Viewing . Naoki was using it to watch the surroundings from the skies .
「What, did you see something?」
「Yeah, Wyverns are coming . It looks like they haven't noticed us, though . 」
「Seriously!?」
Lyle said with wide eyes . Like Earth Dragons, Wyverns were low ranking dragons, but they still had a 3-4 meter physique, and their Breath attacks were strong .
「I thought Tatsuo would need to descend soon, so I guess it was perfect timing?」
Tatsuo cried Kwaa and trembled beside Lyle . It seemed he had imagined himself being swallowed whole by a flying Wyvern .
「Well, since we're hidden by the trees here, I think they'll pass us by . Be quiet for a little while . 」
「Ye, yeah . 」
『Understood, Uncle . 』
Lyle and Tatsuo replied to Naoki's words . Then after a short while, they could hear the sound of wings flapping .
(They came?)
Lyle looked up at the sky and muttered in his mind . There were three Wyverns there . They were circling in the sky, so perhaps they were looking for prey . Tatsuo was also watching without making a single Kwaa . As a dragon, Tatsuo was higher rank, but his actual strength wasn't so .
Also, wild dragons that didn't possess intelligence weren't recognized as fellow members of the dragon race . If they were human beings, they would be called savages, and Tatsuo also didn't see them as the same kind .
(Now then, please pass by)
Naoki also had a nervous expression as he looked at the Wyverns in the sky .
