Chapter 850 - An Island, a Dragon, and Eggs
850 An Island, a Dragon, and Eggs
It’s been a week since we traveled the Monsters World. During that time, we fought a lot of monsters.
No, that’s wrong. I mean killing them is the right word. Because it can’t be considered as a fight.
Though I make sure that I only kill those who are in the way. Because Ray’s speed is fast enough to outrun those who are chasing.
This also mean that I haven’t found any monster good enough to be my last familiar. Well, it’s not like finding one is easy.
At least during this one week, I found two more floating island. They are considerably smaller than the previous island I brought to the village. And just me alone is enough to move the island with portal. So I don’t need anyone’s help to transport them.
As for where I transported them, I had them placed above the village first. I only found two island while there are four big countries in the continent. So I at least need to find two more.
I thought that I would dive into the ocean after the first week since I haven’t found any good monster. But this is important as well.
Having earth mages waiting in a fort in the sky will increase our defense from the enemy’s wind mages or flying monsters. So it will be great to have a lot floating islands.
I have traveled quite far from where I found the first floating island thanks to Ray’s speed. and the terrain has changed so much. From a forest, to a mountain, to a lake, to a desert. So I’m sure that the floating islands are not located only in one area. I need to look further to find more.
.....
Once I found several more island, I will go to the ocean. Because I haven’t found any satisfying monster on land. Someone strong enough or capable of something amazing to help.
We have enough monsters and mages who can fly. So the aerial battle is not a problem. And with the floating islands, we will be stronger. As for land, it was never a problem.
But for water, we only have Spot’s family, and several water mages. With Carmen being the strongest water mage and also the mother of the current king of Arturo, she’s quite busy. So it’s not like she can fight all the time.
Which means for the sea battle, we can only count on Spot and his children.
I know that they have grown stronger than when we first met. Spot’s children can even fly now even though they haven’t been able to fly for years. Maybe centuries. I don’t know how old they are.
I heard that Spot is already a grandfather. Spot’s children already have children as well. But they are still too young and too weak, so adding them into the team is impossible. Because they will just die if the enemy is too strong.
That’s why I want to have a sea monster to help. Maybe that mermaid that Victoria talked about in the past. Half human-like feature, and half fish-like feature.
...Is it a half upper-body and half lower-body, or half right and half left? And which part is the human and which part is the fish?
If the upper body is the fish and lower body is human, that’s weird. But maybe they will be useful in land battle as well.
Maybe I’ll find stronger monster rather than smarter monster that can speak. Maybe I’ll find a king of a tribe again. Like that pink orca that Spot and the others fought before.
I can only look for one after I go to the ocean. For now, it’s the floating island.
And again today, I found another one. This one is bigger than the previous two, but it’s still smaller than the first island I found.
But the different thing that this island has is that there’s a monster nested on it. A dragon. With several eggs laying there.
From the look of it, she might be a wind dragon.
I heard from the Dragon Kings that the female dragons are bigger than the male dragons. Even bigger than the Dragon Kings themselves. But they are weaker in a fight.
Though that’s not an important information to me. What I need to know is that if they are hostile or not. Because I want to take the island.
By the way, what about Andro? I think he doesn’t have any element. He’s just big. And strong.
Since this one is a dragon, maybe I can talk to her to move.
“Victoria, there’s a dragon on that island. Be polite when speaking,” I said.
“You’re the one who need that advise the most. Don’t kill anyone if they can be our ally,” Victoria said.
She’s right. Maybe if I showed proof that I killed the Wind Dragon King... that will only make her hostile. Well, whatever. Let’s ask her to move so we can get the island. If she wants to move to our village, that’s much better.
So we ride to that island and about to greet the dragon when she greeted me first.
“Why do you smell like the Dragon King?” the dragon asked.
“Because I killed the Dragon King?” I replied.
“And there it is. Now we are enemies,” Victoria added.
Yeah, I guess I said the wrong answer. Though it was true.
The dragon turned hostile toward me instantly. Should I kill it right away?
“You killed our king?! What did we do wrong?!”
“Well, the Dragon Kings, not just one, but four of them, asked me to kill them because they don’t want to be under the real enemy. When I met them, they were already tamed and it took a lot for them to resist their orders. Even if I kill the ones who make contract with them, they will end up dead. So they asked me to kill them instead,” I said.
The dragon didn’t move. She just stood there with her wings spread open to protect her eggs. So I continued talking.
About how I met the Dragon Kings, how I asked them to teach us something, and how I killed them. including how I asked the Earth Dragon King for a fight instead of instant death.
“Well, that’s the truth. What do you think?” I asked the dragon.
“How would I know if that’s the truth or not? I’m not a centaur. All I know is that you have the smell of a Dragon King,” the dragon replied.
“Should I bring a centaur here then?” I asked.
Should I just kill her and get it done sooner?
“I’ll pretend that I believe you. So if you really helped the Dragon King, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to bring a dragon here to prove that you’re stronger than a dragon. Once you do, then we can talk,” she said.
Bringing a dragon here? That’s easy.
After she said that, I called Andro to see if I can open a portal in front of him so he can see this dragon. And Andro agreed.
“I will open a portal for a Kaiser Dragon that you will meet. Here we go,” I said as I about to open the portal.
“Wait, a Kaiser Dragon?! What?!”
She’s shocked when she heard that I’m calling a Kaiser Dragon. But I ignored her and opened a portal to right in front of Andro. With Sonia’s help as she float in front of Andro.
“Hmm? It’s you. It has been a long time ,” Andro said.
“Wait, you know her?” I asked Andro.
“She’s my granddaughter. So of course I know her,” Andro said.
“So you’re a wind dragon?” I asked again.
“No. Kaiser Dragon is a bit special,” Andro said.
I guess I’m right that he’s not an elemental dragon then.
So... I just accidentally reunited a grandpa and his granddaughter? Now what?
“Are they your eggs?” Andro asked.
“...Yes,” the dragon replied.
“Do you want them to hatch safely?” Andro asked again.
“...Yes.”
“Then you can be safe if you’re with him. He built a village full of monsters. If you come, then all of them will help protecting you,” Andro said.
Though they will happily accept if there are more enemies coming instead of focusing on protection. But I can trust the angels at least to protect her and her eggs.
Wait, so Andro is now asking her to come to our village to stay?
“Can he be trusted?” the dragon asked.
“Yes. He saved me before,” Andro said.
All I did was cleaning up the monsters on his back and scratched it. Even if I didn’t do that, he will still be alive. Angry all the time, but alive.
“...Fine. I’ll go to that village then,” Andro said.
“Good. I will be on my way there then. Then we can talk more. As for your eggs, you can let the monsters there to protect them. If Roy tell them to do it, they will,” Andro said.
Wait, so he’s ordering me now?
Whatever. It’s good at least to have another floating island and a dragon.
