“Die!!!” Shouted Azaline as she shoots a rain of arrows with her bow towards the rushing demonized birds.
It’s, of course, not ordinary shots of arrows. It’s enhanced arrows shot by a [Queen] ranked queen elf that masters all techniques of the bow and a spell master, and using the most delicate bow that got enhanced with several imperial cards.
The bow didn’t need any arrows since the arrows are formed by Azaline’s mana. The rain of arrows killed all of the rushing demonized birds, but it’s not the time to relax yet since countless more will be rushing towards them soon.
“Let’s go! Hop!” Geeta called towards Azaline and pulled her hand to hop above Geeta’s direwolf, Altira, which had transformed into her original size.
“Go! Altira!” (Geeta)
Altira runs as fast as she could. Her speed is by no means slow, and with her high agility, she swiftly passed the trees at high speed.
“They’re getting closer! Didn’t you said that the Owlfolk have lots of sensory barriers on the Eastaria skies!” (Azaline)
“Yes! But it looks like that this region is no longer under the control of the Owlfolk kingdoms! The last time I went here is about 20 years ago, after all!!” (Corvus, The Sky King)
“Ugh… Geeta, go towards that mountain, there must be a cave there, we could easily fend them off as long as they’re in the ground!” said Azaline as she pointed at the mountains on the east.
“Okay~ Let’s go, Altira!” (Geeta)
Geeta and Azaline rushed towards the mountains by riding on top of Altira. Azaline cast every strengthening and support magic to enhance Altira’s body more robust.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The horde of demonized birds chased after Azaline, and Geeta shots countless spells towards them, but all of them got blocked by Azaline’s magic barrier. Since it’s the magical barrier cast by a [Queen] ranked royal elf, none of the demonized birds’ spells managed to hurt them.
After several dozens of minutes of high-speed riding on top of Altira, they finally arrived in front of the mountain. Azaline planned that if the demonized birds could not keep up with Altira’s speed, then it might be best if they just outrun them. But since they’re flying in the skies without having any trees hindering their move, they could easily keep up with them.
“Tsk! We have no choice, let’s go!” (Geeta)
As Azaline said, there is a cave at the bottom of the mountain where the river starts to flow. They immediately entered the cave, hoping that demonized birds won’t follow them.
“Take position,” (Azaline)
With Geeta and Altira acting as the vanguard while Corvus, the Sky King, and Azaline are acting as the rearguard, they waited for their enemies to enter.
“Birds usually avoid getting inside a hole where they can’t use their wings even if their prey is weak, so the possibilities for them to enter the cave-” (Azaline)
Before Azaline could even finish her words, a vast demonized bird-type magic beast entered the cave and rushed towards them with its legs since its wings are restricted. Its eyes are red, its form felt somehow distorted, and it’s giving out a disturbing squeak.
Quickly regained her sense, Azaline immediately shot several mana arrows towards the demonized bird, sending it outside the cave before it could get close to Geeta and Altira.
“Didn’t you just about to say that birds usually didn’t want to enter places where they can’t use their wings!?” (Geeta)
“I-It should be!! But it looks like these demonized birds didn’t because they’re demonized!! I could only feel blood lust from them!!” (Azaline)
“Well, if it comes to this, the option left for us is only to hold on,” said Geeta as she ready her greatsword.
“Let some of them pass if your mana is running low, Azaline. I’ll take care of them as you replenish your mana,” (Geeta)
Geeta and Azaline had trained and went to raid dungeons together for a long time. Their teamwork is amongst the best in the Tarot empire. After four hours of continuous shooting, Azaline finally runs out of mana and takes a moment to rest while Geeta and Altira face the demonized birds head-on with only Corvus, The Sky King, backing them up with long-range spells.
“Azaline… Why do I think that there is no end of them?” Asked Geeta with a wry smile.
“M-Me too… Did you know anything about this, Corvus?” (Azaline)
“I don’t! I never encounter any demonized magic beasts such as them when I went here before!” (Corvus)
The pile of a corpse inside the cave had gotten big, but every time it blocked the entrance, the demonized birds will bring them out and continue to force themselves in.
The strength of each demonized bird is not significant. Three mana arrows from Azaline could kill a demonized bird, while Geeta only needs a single blow. The problem is the unstoppable number of the demonized birds that keep on entering the cave.
Even if Geeta and Azaline are at the [Queen] rank, and their familiars are all at the [King] rank, they’re not immortals.
(If we stay inside the cave, we could take turns resting for several minutes to rest and drink mana and stamina potion, but there’s no sign of those demonized beasts will stop attacking, it might be dangerous since we didn’t know until when will we be able to hold on…) (Geeta)
(But if we went outside, Altira and I will be at a disadvantage since we are melee fighters. Even if I know some spells, it won’t be enough to even reduce their huge number…) (Geeta)
“Argh!! I don’t know what to do!!!” Geeta shouts in frustration.
The four of them could technically survive fighting nonstop for 2 days before completely wear out from not eating and drinking. But if they continue to take turns to rest and eat, they could even survive for a week of fighting, but it’s only if the factors such as their mental state and other factors are disregarded.
“Ugh… who will ever think that I will be using this before I could even find my mother…” Muttered Azaline towards herself as she takes out her tribe’s royal alarm for help.
(There are approximately twenty thousand demonized outside, or it could be even more… We’ve killed about 4,000 of them in 4 hours… So we will need to fight for another 20 hours, but it’s only if the number is exactly as I thought it is… Their number could be even more… There’s also a possibility of them calling out their comrades since we took so much time on killing them… There’s no choice!) (Azaline)
As Azaline ready herself to use her royal alarm, a sound of a vast explosion suddenly appeared from outside the cave.
“W-What is that?” (Geeta)
After the explosions, the demonized birds that have been entering the cave and attacking them nonstop suddenly stopped entering the cave. Geeta and Azaline spread their consciousness to sense any presence outside.
!!??
“T-This dense nature mana presence…” (Geeta)
“No doubt, it’s him…” (Azaline)
Azaline and Geeta stared at each other as their face lights up, but in a split second, they suddenly trembled as another thought enter their minds.
(H-He will definitely scold us!!!) (Geeta and Azaline)
“I see… So it’s his majesty’s druid clone! How lucky we are!” (Corvus, The Sky King)
As if responding to Corvus’s words, the grounds of the cave shook, and massive roots appeared from the ground and dragged the piled-up demon corpses underground, burying them.
After the corpses disappeared, they finally saw a figure clad in a green robe staring at them with a kind yet scary smile.
“H-Hi, Ren… T-Thank you for saving us… S-Sorry, I can’t help but accompany Azaline, b-but it’s not her fault though! Her mother is-” Geeta immediately apologized and soon got flustered, but before she continues.
Pat!
Pat!
Suddenly a warm hand covered her head.
Azaline closed her eyes too as she prepares herself to get scolded, but suddenly a warm hand covered her head just like Geeta, followed by a soft sigh of relief.
“Are the both of you okay?” Asked Druid Oz with a gentle voice.
“Yes… Luckily…” Answered Azaline with a small voice.
“Is there any scar or scratch from the demonized birds?” Asked Ren once again.
“N-None…” Replied Geeta with a trembling voice.
“Good. The both of you are strong, but you’re still lacking the sense of life-threatening battles. This will be a good experience, sorry for being late,” said Druid Oz with a gentle voice as he releases his pat.
As the warm hand disappeared from their heads, Azaline and Geeta opened their eyes and saw the familiar and relieving face that they could always depend on.
Druid Oz examines their dirty clothes and their body that covered in sweat.
Gripping his wooden staff, Druid Oz turns his back and stared at the demonized birds outside.
“You’ve anger a wrong opponent, how unwise, silly birds,” (Druid Oz)
