「Absorbing lightning spirit from the spirit stone」
「Absorbing lightning spirit from the spirit stone」
Bluish sparks flew from Isil’s leaves.
It meant that even Isil, who ate well for his size, was slowly reaching his limit.
Not just Isil.
If someone touched my scales right now, they would probably experience a very very shocking static electricity.
Spirit stones were truly precious delicacies.
It felt completely different from the magic stones that I really really like.Like tasting an even more precious delicacy.
If magic stones were crunchy flying fish roe, spirit stones would be like creamy caviar.
Though I’ve never eaten caviar...
High-grade magic stones would probably be as precious as spirit stones.
However, spirit stones are supposedly harder to find.
"Though their value is similar because there’s not as much demand as magic stones, they’re more extraordinary in terms of being hard to find. To think they’d use such things just for restraints on monsters."
’Will it really work then?’
"If it doesn’t work, you’ll have to spit it out. How unfortunate would it be to eat all that for no effect."
Though Pelerian spoke nastily.
There’s no way a talented snake like me would gain nothing from eating spirit stones.
「Absorbing lightning spirit from the spirit stone」
「Greatly increased affinity for lightning spirit」
「Electric Resistance lv5 has become Electric Resistance lv10」
Oh, electric resistance increased. And by a huge amount at once.
Thinking about the effort needed to gain the previous resistance, it brings tears to my eyes.
I had shocked myself dozens, hundreds of times.
But what I’m aiming for is the power to handle Heavenly Thunder Spirit properly.
Will it be possible after absorbing all the lightning spirit from the spirit stone?
It probably won’t take much longer to absorb it all.
And that’s how long I’ll accompany them.
"Ssaak!"
Hey couple!
I called out.
The rabbit and wyvern both turned to look at me.
’Do you have a proper plan?’
To be honest.
’Holding up a rod to get struck by lightning to break the restraints and escape.’
That plan could never be evaluated as ’smart and thorough’.
"We’ll run away, to the great forest."
’I see!’
Rabbit, so you had a plan all along.
Still, I asked the most important thing.
’Do you know which direction the great forest is?’
It was a question thrown at both the rabbit and wyvern.
And they both pointed in different directions at the same time.
’Neither of those is the great forest.’
Even if you thought the direction we’re going now was the great forest rabbit, why was Raota flying towards a direction that wasn’t the great forest?
I sighed.
’Go to the mountains.’
"The mountains?"
’Yes, the great forest is too far and. Above all, Raota’s mother is in the mountains.’
The rabbit looked at me with a serious expression.
’A white wyvern with three heads. You can’t miss her.’
"Indeed, that’s true..."
’When you meet any wyvern in the mountains, say a small white snake...’
I suddenly realized.
Would wyverns understand if I said it like that?
I had no choice but to swallow my pride and use a different expression.
’Say the youngest who was born without wings and died sent you!’
"?"
The rabbit finally nodded.
Yes, for now that’s one worry less.
We’ve already left the zoo, so even Kadam shouldn’t be able to chase us...
’...He can?!’
Even in the rainy night, it was unmistakable.
That track being drawn in real time below us, like a tank chasing us.
’Ka-Kadam!’
The wyvern and rabbit looked down at Kadam too.
They all seemed to have seen Kadam’s ’ability’ with their own eyes. Explore new worlds at
Since he was what they feared most.
"Keoreorok!"
’Is-is he faster than us right now?’
Of course, Raota was flying hard.
But Kadam who had been following far behind was gradually closing the distance.
It was truly a terrifying charge.
If there were obstacles in the way, he jumped over them.
If there were walls in the way, he crushed them with his body.
Actions that didn’t consider any consequences or aftermath at all.
Well, he seemed to have completely lost it right now.
"You- bastards!"
His war cry clearly reached even this height.
He didn’t seem to care about forcibly waking imperial citizens from their sleep with his angry roars.
Moreover...
"I’ll kill youuu!"
He was making death threats.
I could only scream internally.
I was prepared to get scolded, no, actually I hadn’t really thought about it.
’Ka-Kadam is coming to kill me!’
Who knew that zoo director could run so fast.
The rabbit and wyvern were equally frightened.
Though they urged the wyvern to fly faster, she still had aftereffects from the fall.
Kadam finally almost caught up to us.
His charge was really clearing away everything in his path.
Among them were suspicious thugs loitering on the streets in the rainy night.
Kadam sent them flying just by body checking them.
Naturally guards came out as he was screaming about killing at the top of his lungs.
He just grabbed and threw the guards who said ’Who goes there! Stop!’.
He’s clearly lost his mind.
’Still, he can’t do anything to us from down there.’
I thought that for a moment. Just a moment.
And then.
Whoosh-
I saw a spear fly up almost to our height before falling.
With this height from down there, and it wasn’t even an arrow but a spear...
’Go higher!’
I thought my heart would drop.
’Le-let’s go that way!’
I said we should head towards the city walls first.
It’s late at night now.
The time when the city gates would be firmly locked.
Even Kadam couldn’t break through the city walls to chase us.
Finally Kadam got ahead of us.
And it seemed like he wasn’t planning to stop but trying to climb the city wall.
This crazy bastard...!
And then something caught my eye.
The watchtower on the city wall.
There was a ballista placed on top for defense.
Of course not just anyone could use it, it needed several soldiers to operate.
But, no way.
No way...
==
The guards of the imperial road aren’t that undisciplined.
If even the soldiers guarding the capital were lax, it would be evidence the national power was already declining.
And the empire was still the strongest nation on the continent.
Anyway, though the guards on duty in the pouring rain at night might be tired, they still did their jobs.
Their job was to spot any crazy person or monster trying to climb the city walls.
They just had to spot them.
Actually stopping them was more the role of the walls than their role.
Their commander, the gate keeper, never thought the soldiers would spot an intruder from inside rather than outside the walls.
But it was impossible not to notice.
"Uwaaaaah!"
A huge man was charging.
Not just running but ’charging’.
"Going-up-now!"
So noisy it’s like he’s shouting right in front of us though he’s far away.
