Chapter 87: Undead Wyverns
Maple already cast her magic spell, "Greater Strength" to enhance her pulling power and yet, our might still can barely pull the pole hard.
"What the heck did you catch Kazuma? This is an insane strength for a fish!"
If only this was a fish! But this was a f*cking monster! But I can't say that I want to fight against it. As we pull the rod once more, I can feel the rod breaking even though this was an iron pole. We held on further but the fishing rod did not last long and instead of being pulled into the water, the pole snapped like a wood.
I fell in my butt while Maple managed to get her balance rather than falling. That was an insane experience even for me but now I lost the fishing pole and the catch ended up in failure.
"Now it is not what I expected. And the pole is now broken, what now?" Maple looked at me as she shakes her hands after being sore from the pulling too much.
"Well, I also have no idea either. But I guess we had to go back to the camp now. I can't continue fishing with a broken pole either."
"Okay then, let's carry these carcasses over the camp," Maple points on the pile of carcasses on the ground.
"Wait, wait...all of these?!" I was surprised. I was so engrossed in fishing that I didn't notice the number of carcasses piled up on the ground.
"Why? You don't need to carry all of them, you have the mimic with you remember?"
"Oh..." I was hit by the realization. The mimic is now under my command right now and acts as my own portable storage. I scratched my head and commanded the mimic to store all of the carcasses in which the latter was effortlessly able to do so.
"Now we are talking. Looks like the mimic has a much bigger space than the original storage spaces available in private sources," Maple said.
"Huh? Bigger space?"
"You have not seen space storage yet? Oh well, I also don't have any of them so I can't show you how big the difference of the mimic's storage space than the normal one but you can compare it if you get one."
Just as we are about to go, a few figures appeared in the sky.
"Huh? What are those?" I asked and point those things in the air. Then all of the info on my mind appeared on my eyes since my Weakness Perception activated.
[Skeleton Dragon Riders]
Weakness: Healing Magic, Destroying their Cores located in their chest
[Undead Wyverns]
Weakness: Removing their cores located deep in their body
Maple squinted her eyes and her face turned grave. "Undead Wyverns! Why are they here?"
"Undead Wyverns? Isn't that small versions of dragons?"
"Indeed. Although dragons are much more dangerous, in this place, the wyverns are the most dangerous creatures. Unlike dragons who act on their own, the wyverns act opposite. They instead act in groups and they don't lack those creatures that are riding them. They are also another scale of danger level too. We have to hide before they notice us!" Maple said.
"Hey, what about our camp?"
"Holy sh*t, I almost forgot that we have a child left on the camp! Let's hurry!"
We run quickly but Maple is just too fast that I have to struggle from the speed. Good thing she stopped so that I can catch up.
"You are too slow! Let me carry you!" she shouted before she grabs me on my waist.
"Huh?!"
She started to chant while on the crouch form and wind started to blow around us while beneath her is a green magic circle that keeps on rotating very fast as she continues her chant.
"Hear me o winds, lift us to the ground and let us fly! Light Feet!"
Even though the spell was clearly cast on Maple, I can feel the effects on my body too. It seems that it allows the user to increase the agility and mobility. As soon as the magic circle disappeared beneath her feet, she looks at me and made a stern face.
"Hold tight, we won't be going to have a very smooth ride."
And before I can respond to what she was saying, she speeds up all of a sudden and I can feel my whole soul leaving my body from the speed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Even Blue who rarely appear had to shout her frustration and screamed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! KAAAZZZUUUMMMAAA! STOP THIS MADWOMAN! SHE IS JUST THE MANIFESTATION OF CRAZINESS!"
I can tell that Blue is just stating the truth right now. I can't really tell our surroundings right now because all I can see are blurs that are making me want to give a huge vomit shower out from my mouth. It is just that I have to hold it in or else the vomit I release will just splash straight to my face.
We immediately stop after a few seconds later. I realized that we already arrived at the camp and my familiars and Anya were all stunned by our sudden arrival.
"Huh? Master?" Yuri approached us.
Maple did the thing and quickly commanded everyone.
"Hide everyone! Enemies will arrive here soon!"
"Enemies?" Anya looked puzzled.
"Wyverns are incoming here! Leave the camp and hide! We can't keep on staying here!"
Maple was in the process of explaining when we heard the flaps of wings and the sound of the wyverns roaring.
"So fast?"
Anya looked scared seeing the wyverns. Who wouldn't be scared seeing a big winged lizard with skeletons and rotten skin dangling on its body? It is only something that mostly came on nightmares only.
The wyverns started charging the fireballs from their mouths. They are countless of them so dodging them would be close to impossible now.
"F*ck, we can't dodge them!" Maple gritted her teeth as she pulled out her dagger and prepared for the impact.
I just managed to recover from seasickness I feel in my body and quickly cast a spell that only I can do at the moment.
"Domain of Balmung!"
