Less than a month after the incident with the Bloody Queen, Hiseside The Elder received a bounty from the Elven Kingdom. The six of us — Flants, Kevin, Avina, Mayfair, Natalia, and I — were to represent the Demon Hunter's Blade.
The next morning, the six of us took a ship from Gorgon's port, Byron Bay, to the Elven Kingdom's port city, Ultramarah.
After three days of sailing, our ship finally entered the beautiful and dreamy Elven port city, Ultramarah.
After the ship docked, the Elven guard in charge of guarding the customs asked for our entry permit. After handing over the permit, we asked the guard for the location of the Lord of Ultramarah's office and told him our mission.
The Lord of Ultramarah, Killian, was our client for this mission. Under the guard's guidance, we quickly found the Lord of Ultramarah. He was a high elf with long golden hair.
When Killian saw our mission, he told us that the Warlocks were already on the move. The Elven Kingdom wasn't safe at the moment. Wars were breaking out from time to time, and all the cities were in a state of war. The Warlocks were our target for this mission, and they were similar to the Bloody Queen.
Killian gave each of us a sturdy, purebred Elven warhorse. After entrusting the mission to his trusted officials, he personally led us to meet the Elven Kingdom's King, Ailovis.
We mounted our warhorses and rushed to the capital of the Elven Kingdom, Avinia. As we passed through the wilderness, Natalia suddenly sensed something and warned everyone to be on guard.
There was a rustling sound in the grass. A shadow darted in front of me before I could see what it was.
Pfft.
There were already three claw marks on my arm, and blood was flowing out from the wounds.
What was it? In the blink of an eye, the shadow disappeared into the grass. I endured the pain and drew my sword.
Everyone immediately dismounted and formed a circle, back to back, protecting each other's backs. The warhorses sensed danger and became restless.
"Over there!" Mayfair was the first to sense the shadow's location.
I rushed forward and slashed at the thing hiding in the grass. "Bang!" It was as if I had struck a piece of metal. My hand felt numb from the impact.
The black shadow finally appeared. It was covered in sparkling black scales, and its four claws were as hard as steel. It had a sharp head, and it didn't look like a pushover.
After the collision just now, I was amazed at that guy's super strong defense. Even the Sword of Retribution couldn't harm him in the slightest. What kind of defense was this?
'Black Lizard' Killeen's expression was extremely solemn, because Killeen had seen this magical beast before when he was on a mission in the army. The Black Lizard is a Class B Magic Beast. Its temperament is extremely violent, and no one can escape from its sharp claws. That time, all but Killian and one other survived, while the rest died.
At this moment, the black lizard turned around and pounced at my chest.
"Careful," Killian warned loudly.
But it was too late for me to dodge. The black lizard was just too fast. I only felt a piercing pain, but I didn't die.
It turned out that Natalia had cast a magic shield at the critical moment and saved my life. At this moment, the black lizard shook its sharp head, as if wondering why I hadn't fallen.
I immediately brandished my sword and stabbed at the black lizard. Sparks flew, but the black lizard wasn't injured at all.
At this moment, a loud sound came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a giant black eagle circling in the sky. The eagle's wings were more than five meters long.
Suddenly, the black eagle swooped down towards me.
"Run!" Killeen shouted.
But the eagle's aura made me unable to move, and the black lizard also obediently stayed where it was.
The black eagle picked up the black lizard and bit down on the armor that the black lizard was so proud of. The black lizard never dreamed that it would die like this.
Just as the black eagle approached, I saw an elf standing on the eagle's back. That elf wore light armor and a green robe. He had the blue eyes and long golden hair that were unique to High Elves. He gave off a unique aura, the aura of a leader.
The green-robed elf man jumped down from the giant eagle that was hovering at a low altitude. The elf in the green robe landed very lightly, without making a sound. Jumping down from such a high place, he could still do this. This was the first time I saw it.
As the saying goes, there is always someone better than you.
"It's the Legendary Ranger Meldas. I didn't expect to meet you here," Killeen said with a smile.
"So it's you, Killeen. Why are you with these humans?" Meldas gave off the confidence of an expert.
Soon, Meldas jumped down from the eagle's back, his movements so light.
After Killeen's introduction, we all got to know each other. It turned out that the elf standing in front of us was the Legendary Ranger Meldas.
"Meldas, why is your eagle so big?" I asked to show my friendliness.
"You mean the Giant Eagle Hydes? It's not mature yet. When it matures, it will be about seven or eight meters long."
At this moment, the Giant Eagle Hydes was flapping its black wings not far away. I went forward and touched its feathers.
"Don't touch its feathers."
But Meldas' warning was a step too late. I was already flung to the side by Hydes' wings, almost falling to the ground.
Everyone laughed, and Meldas also expressed his helplessness.
However, when Mayfair placed her slender hand on Hydes' back, the Giant Eagle Hydes didn't have any temper at all. The giant eagle, Hydes, was not irritable at all. Instead, it was as docile as a lamb. This made me sigh in admiration at Mayfair's charm. She actually made the Giant Eagle Hydes submit to her.
"Look, you're not gentle enough. Mayfair is much gentler than you," Kelvin interrupted.
"Meldas, aren't you coming with me to meet the Elven King? He admires you."
"I still have things to do, so I won't be going for now." After saying that, Meldas jumped onto Hydes' back.
Hydes flapped its wings and flew into the sky. Just like that, Meldas disappeared into the horizon.
"What a stubborn one. Let's hurry up and get moving." Killeen shook his head.
Everyone mounted their warhorses and galloped towards Avinicia.
We didn't encounter any more attacks on the way. Some of the ordinary beasts had already sensed our powerful aura from afar, so they had long since hidden away.
But there were still a few monsters who knew how to resist. A loud roar resounded and five two-meter-tall creatures covered in spikes shot out from the forest, blocking our path.
These creatures looked like a combination of trees and humans. Their bark-covered faces were also covered in spikes. They were truly repulsive.
"What kind of monsters are these?" I've never seen such creatures before.
"They're Thorny Wood Demons. Everyone, run." Killeen knew how terrifying these creatures were.
Thorny Wood Demons were a type of magical beast. Although their individual attacks weren't strong, they usually attacked in groups. That was why they were very difficult to deal with.
In the eyes of the Thorny Wood Demons. We were just fresh meat about to enter their mouths.
