Chương 21: Fighting along side Tess.
(A/N - I've just gotten back from school and I'm just going to tell you that on Mondays to Fridays I won't be posting chapters in the time frame of 7:30 - 15:30 English time because I am at school or getting ready to leave for school. I'll still try get you guys 2 chapters a day. Also I will need to write the chapter out once I am home unless I've already got a chapter prepared which I will try to do from now on. Thank you.)
"Hey Kiera, who's that?"
"This is Yuki. She is my pet I guess you could say but we have a beast pact between us."
"Hi there Yuki!" Tess said as she tried to stroke her but Yuki didn't let her.
"She only likes being stroked by me. She might not like you so you'll have to get her to warm up to you." I said looking down at Yuki who was snuggled against me.
"Wanna come inside or do you wanna do something outside?" I asked Tess.
"Let's go hunting for a bit then we can come back."
"Sure, Yuki want to come with us or stay in my room." I said to Yuki in human language which she understood and yapped to say she wanted to come with me.
"Alright, well let's go then Tess."
"You can understand her?"
"Yeah." I said as I exited the mountain and got to the ledge spreading my wings.
"Just to let you know you won't need to carry me because I can fly properly now." Tess said excitedly.
"Alright then let's go." I said as I jumped of the ledge allowing myself to fall before catching the air before I hit the tips of the trees and started flying just above them.
Tess flew down to my level and looked at me with eyes wide open.
"I thought you were going to hit the floor, you really scared me!" Tess shouted.
"It just feels nice letting yourself fall before catching yourself last minute." I said looking over to Tess.
"Your right that did feel nice but that's because I trust you not to fall and injure yourself." Yuki said to me.
"Can you not fly like that Yuki?" I said in the universal language because it would be weird for Tess if I started speaking like a fox.
"I can't pull that manoeuvre but I can fly as I do have wings."
"I see."
"How the hell do you understand that fox." Tess said looking incredibly confused.
"Secret." I said looking away from Tess and looking in the direction I was flying.
"Come on you can teach me right?"
"No. No I cannot." I said.
"Fine.. want to kill something strong?"
"Well that was what I was hoping for."
"I know a place where there are a ton of demonic wolves. We can fight there against many creatures and there are some ogres there maybe a wyvern or two might've dropped by that area."
"Sounds like a plan. Lead the way." I said as Tess flew in front of me and we flew full speed to our destination.
..
We landed in an area which had mountains encased it. There was a lake in the centre of this encased area which glistened under the suns light and rippled from the aquatic beings swimming in the clear water. There were trees all around but you could see through them as there were gaps in between the trees. The lush and vibrant green trees did not come close to the water for some reason but because of that it was incredibly easy to find all the creatures gathered around the lake. There were so many demonic wolves it was hard to count and there were some ogres here and there.
"Why are there so many creatures in this area?" I looked at Tess who was looking at all the monsters below us.
"No clue but I found this when I was flying around. Ah look a wyvern is coming toward the lake."
'System can you check its level for me.'
..
<*ping*>
Level:[16]
..
"It's low level. We could take that down i recon."
"I'd rather not try my luck. Let's just wait for it to drink and leave. After that we can kill all the monsters here and level up."
"Alright then."
"There is an area just down here we can land there doesn't seem to be any monsters there." Tess said as she flew down with me following.
We landed in a small clearing of trees and we waited there for a while looking up so we could see when the wyvern was leaving but that wasn't necessary as it was very loud while leaving so anything in the area could here it. That was our cue.
"Let's get killing." Tess said springing up with a bow in hand.
"Your going into the centre of many monsters which are fast and will be using close combat with a bow. That's not going to work."
"It's fine though. You just need to kill all the ones that come after me with your sword." Tess replied with a grin.
"I'm not good at protecting or using a sword as a matter of fact."
"Well you better get good quick. Come on let's go!" Tess said sprinting off.
"I don't think you can reason with this girl." Yuki said to me.
"Your right, you can't. She seems excited though so I need to make sure she doesn't kill herself. Do you think you can fight some?"
"I can pick some off from the edges."
"Sounds good."
I ran off to Tess with Yuki in my arms and caught up very quickly as I'm a lot faster than Tess. We soon arrived at the gathering of monster and the wolves snapped their heads in our direction snarling at us and howling. I put Yuki down on the floor.
"Go on Yuki." I said and Yuki dashed forwards and started fighting some wolves with the rest heading towards me and Tess.
Tess drew back her bow and I transformed Adonis into a katana getting ready to slash down the oncoming hoard of monsters. Tess started firing off arrows here and there using fire to light the tips of the arrow to pierce and burn the wolves pelt and flesh. It was incredibly efficient. I thought I might try to do the same so I imagined flames encasing the blade of my sword and my magic sparked and it rapped flames around my sword.
..
<*ping*>
< You have gained the skill [Fire blade] >
[Fire blade]
You have encased your blade with your flames. This will burn through many things and the fire will follow your will. This skill can evolve into [Flame blade] which is a stronger version. This skill uses 10 MP.
..
'I wonder if I can do this with all the elements but I'll do that once no one is around.'
The heat around me increased and the fire that encased my sword burned brightly. The wolves which saw this began to back away a little which was a terrible mistake as Tess shot them between the eyes burning and killing them.
I rushed forwards and slashed down with my blade, neatly cutting the wolf which I targeted that then burned until nothing was left but ash. I dashed around the place slicing all the wolves which were unlucky enough to have to fight me if you could even call it that. Fighting Tess was no better and also just as unlucky for the wolves. All the wolves in that area had terrible luck to encounter us.
A wolf pounced at Tess from behind which she didn't notice but I didn't allow that to happen. I dashed across the ground, jumping towards the wolf which was behind Tess.
"Duck down!" I called out to Tess who quickly ducked as I jumped over her head and pierced the wolf with the end of my blade. The blood which coated my sword didn't stay for long as that too burned to my fire.
"You should be more careful!" Tess cried to me, "what if you hit me?!"
"Well that's a simple answer. You would be dead."
"You could be more sympathetic."
"Your welcome." I said as I flew back over to my previous position and continued my massacre.
I heard a howl coming from my left but it didn't sound like a wolf. No it sounded like..
"Yuki." I whispered to myself as I darted towards her direction.
I saw Yuki exhausted and was surrounded by demonic wolves and three ogres which would normally never team up but it seems they knew they had no choice but to in this situation. I slashed my blade horizontally and willed the flames to fire off of my blade towards the monsters that surrounded Yuki.
I killed half of them and jumped toward Yuki and picked her up.
"You alright?" I asked. I had no care if anyone I knew died but I'd rather those I knew to be happy unlike me and my miserable past life.
"Thank you Kiera for coming. I'm alright just out of stamina and MP."
"Good." I said as I spun in a circle releasing the fire from my blade which sliced all the monsters around me.
"These monsters are all so weak. Even if the wolves levels are different if they aren't level 20 the amount of EXP stays the same. Thankfully that doesn't go for the ogres. I'm still getting a lot of EXP so this was definitely worth it." I said to myself as I ran back to Tess who was also getting cornered by monsters and had no arrows left.
I flew forwards at the monsters, although not many, I sliced through them all.
"Out of arrows I see." I said to Tess.
"Yeah and MP."
"Shame I would've liked to stay here for longer but we should go back. Can you fly or want me to carry you again."
"I can still fly."
"Okay well let's get going back then."
Looking back at the blood bathed area which we left behind one more time we then left and returned back to my home.
..
"Oh god! What happened to you two?"
"We went hunting." I replied to my mother who opened the door when we arrived back as she sensed our presence.
"I hope that's not your blood Kiera. I don't want something bad to happen like last time."
"It's not mine but rather the monsters which I killed and I still have that bracelet on so even if I almost died like last time you could come get me."
"You have a point. Get inside both of you and give me your clothes to wash. I'd recommend taking a bath."
"Sure." I said as Tess and I entered the mountain and went to my room with Yuki in my arms.
"Yuki you definitely need a wash. Your soaked in blood. None of your white fur can be seen anymore." I said as I patted her head which she leaned into.
"Don't worry." Yuki Yipped at me.
We entered my room and I started to take my clothes off along with Tess. We placed our clothes to the side and entered the bathroom.
"Wow! This is so spacious and warm!" Tess exclaimed looking around intrigued.
"Yeah it is." I stepped into the water and I held Yuki in the water as she couldn't reach the bottom so I helped her wash.
I cleaned Yuki and scrubbed her fur with some shampoo making her all bubbly before rinsing her off by placing her back in the water. The water was not dirtied by us washing all the blood off but stayed clean and fresh so I could only assume it was the work of magic.
Tess soon got in as well and we both cleaned out bodies as Yuki sat on the side of the hot spring waiting for us to finish.
We got out once we were all clean and we tapped towels around ourselves except for Yuki which just shook herself dry.
We all exited the bathroom and Tess turned to me.
"What am I going to wear?"
"I don't think my clothes will fit you but you can try them on if you want." I said as I opened my wardrobe and put on a new white shirt and black trousers.
"I'll try them on then." Tess took out my biggest shirt, which fit, and some black trousers like mine but hers were a bit to small al you could see part of her ankle bone and a little bit of her shin.
"Eh it fits alright, I guess. Could be worse." I said to Tess who looked at her new clothing.
"Yeah the shirt fits well but the trousers are a little short."
I nodded and used my wind magic to dry my hair.
"Want me to dry you?" I asked Tess.
"Ah, yes please."
I used my magic to dry off Tess's hair while she was giggling away.
"What's so funny? Your giggling an awful lot."
"It tickles a little." She replied.
I finished drying her and went to the dining room but Yuki said she wanted to stay in my room.
"Let's get some food."
