Chapter 127: Chapter 127

The trip back to West Vale took slightly longer without the riding beasts, but we made much better time than we would have before our time in the tower. We didn't have to worry about any beasts, and didn't need to stop for food or as many breaks. At our level, we could last more than a week without sleep, not that doing so would be ideal.

A few beasts had attacked, ignoring our power, but we'd made short work of them. A simple impact seed or dark dagger took care of them, and I took great joy on the second day as a group of gale wolves stumbled upon us. They attacked, probably thinking their superior numbers would help them, but it hadn't, and I'd torn into them with a savage glee, I rarely showed. I had to thank them for chasing me to Zirani, and I did, by ending their lives quickly rather than making them suffer.
