Chapter 6: Awakened Beings

‘tak tak tak tak” neiiiigghh neiggghh! The horse raised its hooves and was agitated by something blocking its path.

‘What now, bandits again?’ I thought to myself as the same thing happened to us earlier from our trip from the central city of Dalen going back to Tulan. The bandits were grouped into 10 members and they told us to give our belongings to them or else they will kill us, typical bandits. I did not want master to wake up from its long exhausting journey so I indulge myself on these lowly creatures. I jumped from the reign and majestically landed in front of the bandits, 4 on the left side and 6 on the right side. I call forth my weapon Hunting Lance and it appeared on my right hand and I tapped the ground activating its sub-skill Radar and immediately after that, I found two bandits sneaking at the back of the carriage.

I immediately attacked the two leaving an afterimage in front of the ten bandits, blood splattered at the road as I swiftly swung it aiming at their neck and cutting it off cleanly, thus avoiding any sudden scream near my master. Their blood then was sucked by my spear and I appeared again at the front and it only happened in two seconds. The remaining was surprised and I gave them the same fate the first two bandits experienced and I casually return to the reign and continued our journey.

‘I can’t see someone in front of us and the road was clear from any bushes or nearby trees as the road was nearing the city’s gate’

‘Whip’

I forced the horse to move and it did only for a few meters and raised its hooves again. The horse was now frantically trying to retreat and come down and check the surrounding area, I summoned my lance and I can’t find anything in the range of Radar. Then I touch its head to calm it.

‘Creak’

“Let’s leave the carriage behind Boro, the horse has detected strong magic inside the city, and I also have felt some familiar aura"

“Yes Master”

My master ordered me and I complied, I can’t sense something even with my skill I did not find anything odd but the horse can sense anything from hundreds of meters from its location as it was embedded with a magic core from him giving the horse the capability of Hyper Sense. The Fallen Horse was not some common type beast, it has four muscular legs at the front, a brownish skin with its silver colored mane, eyes that are pure black and it’s hooves were gold in color, truly a majestic boss type monster who solitarily lives at the peak of Mt.Trederdon, my master had defeated the boss and it rewarded him with a miniature version of it, the stats are very low but its stamina was insane so the usage was obviously only for carrying the carriage, I don’t know why but I think this horse is not the battle type, or maybe the miniature version was just a reward only for journey.

“Summon Mount: White Tiger”

My master summoned his mount, the weather was not snowy or windy but in front of us winds were gathering along with snowflakes and then first the paw was formed then the other parts were also slowly appearing until the whole form the mount appeared.

‘Roaarrr’

It roared like a king in the forest and then walks near to master and then it lowered its body gesturing master to ride on top of him. I stared at the beast, it was my first time seeing such a wonderful creature.

Passive Skill:

Sharing- the summoner will receive 90% of the stat from the mount, depends on the bond of the two

Mounts are not the same with the tamed beast, from the name itself it is only available for riding not for going war, but the stats of the mount is share to its owner and this skill is available to all type of mounts, Sharing. Many people are getting crazy wanting to have a mount with them, some even tried to buy the mount with a considerable amount but some did horrible things, murdering the owner and then stealing the mount just because of this one passive skill. There are two ways to have a mount on your own, first is to buy the mount directly at the Shepherd’s Guild or any retailing stores that have a license on selling mounts, the mounts varied from common to legendary, of course the same with the price. Some people even buy at the black market because of the cheap price, and these type of stores are not licensed so if your mount goes wild or if you are scammed then you can’t sue the seller due to the law that states that unlicensed selling of mounts is prohibited and the accomplices, the buyer and the contractor are all eligible to the punishment required by law.

There are a lot of licensed stores that sell mounts but the biggest is the Shepherd’s Guild, due to the extremely powerful members, the guild is able to store extremely rare mounts thus making more interesting options which then attract more customers.

The second one requires the person to have a contract with the beast directly by using Contract of the Summoner, obviously the stronger the monster the harder it is to have the contract. And my Master’s mount falls on the second part, as for the saying goes ‘the strong can decide on their own’.

“Come ride now Boro and head to the city immediately”

“Yes Master”

……………………….

A dark figure sitting on the throne was wearing a grayish coat that has markings on the backside which symbolizes a Champion, the markings are gold in color it portray a hand gripping something and above it was a crown, at the shoulders an adornment with a crimson color, the two adornment is like a dragon head that is about to roar. He is wearing 5 rings each with an interval fitted on both of his hands. Each ring has a different color and glow. With a black pants that is marked on each sides with an unknown language paired with a black boots, surely the figure loves darkness.

He lazily sat on the throne with his eyes that lost its interest while pointing a man struggling from a black aura that is choking him with his right index finger with a black colored ring glowing aggressively.

“Hayzz, he is nowhere to be seen and this guys seems to know nothing of his whereabouts, I thought I could end this as soon as possible”

“Please have……mercy…….ughk!”

“hah? I don’t have that luxury on me”

“Plea…ple….”

‘Thud’

“So Bor-!”

“Booooom!!” The front of the castle was destroyed and the are were surrounded with dust and smoke and three silhouette walks towards the throne and then the other silhoutte that looked like it walked on all fours vanished entirely

‘Clap clap clap clap clap’ “What a wonderful entrance you have prepared for me, Crimson Reaper, Durwin”

‘Swish’ “Long time no see, Grand Mage Faheem”

The two beings greeted each other like they were longtime friends. Faheem then stood from the throne and he looked at his hands and a pair of gloves appeared Gloves of the Tyrant Ancient Dragon and he gestured his left hand splitting the air.

“Mischievous Dome”

“There is no need for a cage, I am not a coward, Faheem”

“I’m just making sure of it, there’s nothing wrong with it right?”

“Domain of the Crimson King”

‘Hiiiinggg’ the whole surrounding vibrated and then suddenly it was gone

“You need to kill me Durwin if you want to cancel that”

“Then receive this! Hunting Lance Third Form: Bullet Lance” the man besides durwin shouted and then throw his lance with an incredible speed, judging from the disturbance of the wind the target of the projectile will be devastated certainly.

Faheem raised his left hand and then the white ring emitted a light and then two portal appeared in front of him the one was in line with the projectile while the other was on the right side. The speeding lance entered the portal and then it goes out from the portal and now the direction of the lance is heading towards the thrower.

‘Booooom!!’

The lance was nailed to the ground by an arrow, and it is glowing in blue flames. The lance was not pierced but somewhat pinned down by the arrow head. Durwin's hands were glowing with gold light and the there was a symbol carved on it and it portrays an arrow and above it was a crown.

“Bravo!” ‘clap clap clap clap clap’ “You truly have such a fearsome accuracy Durwin, a Champion like me, I am so hyped right now!”
