Damien was able to move again not too long after the Pegasus picked him up, but he didn't have to let that be known.
He acted paralyzed and enjoyed his free ride to the peak of the mountain, grinning happily to himself.
'This beast is arrogant, but its fur is damn soft…' he thought.
'But more importantly, this means a fast track to the mission target. I only had a strategy to deal with one of them. It would've been bad if we had to continue so suddenly without finding other means.'
Damien and the girls absolutely would've died if they couldn't take time to prepare for a Thunder Demon Crow or Pegasus raid.
'And my guess was right. It looks like that Pegasus is much stronger than the other two.'
Idle thoughts swam through his mind for several minutes as the journey continued. Before he knew it, the Pegasus had touched ground again.
"Dismount me this instant. Do not think you can keep pretending," the beast said with disdain.
