《Aries》vol.1 chapter 8. Let's go to the Capital
Advertisement
The [Gigaflora] is known to be the second most safest forest out there in the continent, with low leveled monsters and creatures, even a level 5 warrior can come out unscratched, but those are the people with better armor and really good skills,
But right now a young boy just came out of the forest looking really beat up, with his cloths look worse than it was before, it looked like he ran a marathon with monsters chasing him from behind, and this child was Aries
*rustle* *rustle*
I finally got out of that big forest and in front of me was a big grass field clearing with a stone path going all the way up the hill,
‘I finally got away from those freaking annoying monsters, phew it looks like up ahead are where people might be at ’ has I was going to start walking I saw notification and I freaking collapsed on the ground head face to the floor, while my stomach started rumbling,
4 hours until numbness disappears
‘damm’
‘I know the rebound from using [dash] was bound to happen but why does.. My stomach…. Hurts…’ I started to slowly lose my consciousness but before I did I flashed back has into how the hell did this all happened.
right now was one of the worst moments of my life, first I got attacked by monsters on the way here and nearly got killed, then Argus and aqua had to get tired all because they lost stamina and had to become keys.
‘It must have been that baby’s fault’
***
“Anyway lets go guys, it’s still morning and we still have a lot of time, let’s get a move on..”
I said has we moved towards our destination.
We were walking in the direction that Argus pointed earlier, he said that he could somewhat feel the magical power that was gathering in all that direction so he just a assumed that there were humans there.
We started walking and passed a lot of things,
like a deer like animal that didn’t attack us, it looked like it had a light grey coat, and looked semi transparent.
A big fruit which Argus tried to eat but got paralyzed so aqua had to transform into a Buffy build to drag him.
And a few of those [mamenchi] again, I found out that they were herbivores and they completely ignored us, because they were eating and the trees were covering us from their view.
We were normally walking like this when I didn’t notice that I nearly stepped on the baby, it let out a loud screech and it echoed throughout the whole forest.
Turns out that when Argus got paralyzed he fell off his fur and was following us from behind, because he was hungry he wanted to tell Argus to gag the meat again but was nearly stepped by me, leading to the baby’s screech.
When the baby screeched I heard a loud growl from afar and a few wings flapping, kind of like when you disturb a beast from his nap.
‘SHIT!’
“Aqua quickly get on Argus were running!” I quickly grabbed the baby and hopped onto Argus back indicating that there might be something that’s going to chase us.
Aqua was going to ride Argus with me when Argus stated that he didn’t want aqua to ride him because it will make his fur wet because of her slime.

‘Fine! if your fur is more precious than our lives then I hope you protect father and the baby from what’s about to come and run really fast!’
just has aqua changed into her flight form, and getting ready to run,
Something big came out of the bushes and a lot of flying creature like egg was flying above it,
Luckily we had a running start, but before we ran I took some small pebbles with me so I could throw them at the thing that was chasing us, and off we went to our running marathon.
While we were running I changed my position so I could look at the thing that was chasing us,
I squinted my eyes to look at the name of the dark creature but I couldn’t see it because if the constant moving of Argus back,
‘[INFO]’ I completely forgot that sometimes if you have a skill, all you have to do is just say it out loud or think it, so it could work, and it did,
tenebris Lv.12
[Special skill: shadow strike: can use a part of its shadow and use it to hit its prey.]
Ovi Lv.3
[Special skill: membrane: can use its clear substance to change its form.]
For some reason I also got to see their skills, and that is amazing, this skill is amazing, okay so the plan is, hmm what is the plan.., ah got it.
“aqua I’m going to use [dash] to throw the pebbles at the egg looking like monster because they are only level three, while you try and disable the dark creature or even better kill it!”
I said, I started using [dash] on the eggs, and to my surprise they immediately either evaporated on the spot or the shell would break and die, they were really easy to kill.
‘Yes father!’ listening to my command aqua immediately started throwing spinning globes of water and on impact makes a strong force that pushes the monster back every often.
It seemed that the egg creatures were all nearly dead and a few of them were left, and the only one left was that creature like thing.
After confirming that I killed all of those flying eggs both of my arms started to become numb and I couldn’t move them.
10 minutes until numbness disappears
I saw the window disappear,
and the creature seems like it was gathering something on its mouth, I squinted my eyes to see on its mouth was a constant swirl of shadow forming a ball, it then raised its head trying to aim at aqua, realizing this I screamed at aqua about the danger.
“Aqua!!” I saw that aqua was already prepared to intercept it with a huge spinning globe of water, on cue the monster shot the ball of darkness and aqua shot her ball of water,
Both attacks hit and made a mini explosion that made a shock wave that even I felt it.
‘Ugh that took too much of my power, father it seems like I have to rest now..’ I saw that aqua changed her form into a slime while in the air and turned to a key, the light went to my pocket indicating that she was resting in her key form.

Right now I was staring at the creature that was far away from us but was still catching up, I saw that it changed its form into a four legged creature and seemed like it was running even faster.
“Argus how long can you keep up if you run even faster?..” I said still looking at the creature, with stern eyes,
‘If I run even faster from my current speed then I would have to say for at least thirteen minutes, because after that I will become extremely tired’
Argus said with a sleepy voice, it seems like he was already tired, but I have to make sure the plan works, when I was picking up some pebbles I saw a big stone and picked it up it was about the size of a baseball.
My plan is that, once the numbness disappears I’m going to aim at the critical spot of the creature and kill it, yes kill it, even if the plan looks suicide.
“okay go for it, also it seems like he is getting ready to shoot another one of those shadow strike, so ill warn you where to dodge” I said that and Argus quickly increased his speed, it seems like the shadow creature noticed and shot out another ball of darkness.
“Quickly dodge to the right!” I quickly reacted to the ball and yelled, we dodge the ball by a hairs breath and whatever the ball hit left a crater… .
It has been an 11 minutes and I can already feel both of my arms, has soon I got the feeling I immediately started throwing all of my small pebbles without using [dash], I didn’t throw the big one because it was part of the plan, it seems that one of the pebble I threw manage to hit one of its eyes.
I already threw my last pebble and there was none left, it also looked like we were slowing down, noticing this sudden decrease of speed I looked at Argus, his eyes were close.
‘Ahh.. Ma... ster… I’m… already tired.., it seems that I can’t... move anymore..’ he said that with an even sleepier voice and turned into a key, me and the baby fell on the dirt and now the monster was in front of us.
“Ugh, ow!.. You lied Argus.. You lied, you said 13 minutes!!”
I said that while lying on the floor, I was slowly getting up but realized that the monster was in front of us so I quickly took the stone aiming at the head of the monster and used [dash] and it, missed
“damm”.. Right now, my right arm that I used to throw the stone became numb, and couldn't move.
It looked like the creature thought that, that was the last from me and ran to attack me when all of a sudden it got hit with something light and fast, it got hit on the side and exploded in to ashes.
I was staring blankly at the remains of the beast, which were the ashes and was thinking.
‘What the hell happened?!’
I looked to my left where the baby was and was shocked to find that it didn’t looked like a baby anymore, it grew bigger in size, the body became longer and wider, the wings also grew bigger, it looks like it leveled up to 13.
also that he was the one that shot the fire thing because it made a burping sound and what came out from it mouth was white flames,
‘O-okay.. it seems like he was the one that saved me, I have to thank him but I don’t want too..Burgh fine…’ I was contemplating whether to pat him or not, in the end I decided to do it, I was about to touch his head when he noticed me reaching to his head when all of a sudden he made an even longer screech,
After the screech ended I heard another roar, ugh I quickly carried him princess style and was using [dash] to run really fast, it seems like he didn’t like what I was doing because it was screeching continuously.
“ugh!!... will you can it!!, it was your fault from the beginning, now were being chased again!!, all because of your screech!!”
It seemed to realize this and was kept quiet, I didn’t stop using [dash] for a few minutes until I finally saw a clearing, I was out of the forest, and I immediately dropped what I was carrying.
In front of me was a big grass field clearing with a stone path going all the way up the hill, seeing this I stopped using [dash] and got the rebound,
4 hours until numbness disappears
‘damm’
This leads to the present
***
Aries was on the floor. it seems that the deer luminous faced his body upwards making him lay down, face upwards.
When all off a sudden a shadow approached the child and creature, the deer luminous noticed the shadow, it started hissing backing whoever was approaching.
“Oh clam down it’s just me all helpless viria, hmm he doesn't look alright” this girl named viria walked closer ignoring the hissing reptile and was now staring at the pained body of Aries.
*groan* *rumble* *pant* *growl* *groan* *pant*
“It seems like this Child is in a lot of pain and is starving. I guess I will have to help him, oh you want to carry him? Sure, I’m too weak anyway; I can’t even carry a baby!!”
It seems like a young woman wearing a maid outfit has decided to help Aries, and our not so baby deer luminous is helping by carrying him.
“Okay!! Let’s go to the Capital!!” they walked up the stone path on the way to the capital, it seems like the woman was smiling to happily,
‘let’s just hope he helps the guild too, hehehe!’
[AN]
Hey guys what up!! I wanted to post this earlier but I had leg pain and couldn’t concentrate on writing the chapter so I just decided to take some painkillers and write this chap on a stool, hahaha!
