Chapter 12: Confusion

Dorian snagged a set of wooden branches, slicing them off the mid sized tree with ease They were sturdy pieces of so and flexible He cleared any stray leaves off theside the dead deer off to the side near the river

He took a few careful glances around

These erous area, but he hadn’t yet encountered any Grandmaster Class beasts in this valley itself The area here seemed like a place that was relatively safe

Even if he did encounter any danger, he could just activate the King Class Aura he had stored in his Soul None of the beasts he had seen had too high levels of intelligence, so more likely than not they would fall for it and run off in fear

It was time he really treated hi his emotions loose the other day With his powerful tru hi the branches and the dead deer down, Dorian quickly began to clip so a s a pyraer branches, and stabbed theround on opposite sides of the small wooden pyramid They rested about five feet above the pyra at the dead deer

"I think I’ like that, right, before cooking?&8221; He rubbed a claw against his forehead, trying to reraduate He knew a lot aboutclubs on ca

He shrugged,

"Whatever, I’on It’ll probably be fine&8221;

He turned around and took one of the longer branches He shaved the ends of each side to th between the tooden stakes in the ground

He poked two holes in the stakes, h up, and double checked to be sure the last piece of wood could connect the his lips

"Tiust of wind blasted outward as the flying ship ness

William looked around the mountainside they had landed on, his eyes careful

The journey here had taken a very short time The ship the Space Wizard had created was able tothrough the sky It also had the ability to hide the presence of those on board, erous areas

They had touched down in the middle of the mountains, very close to where Willia, it was because of the presence of several Grandion of the h his Fate Magic Landing directly in the valley between the shattered peaks would probably lead to theic protection when they were high in the sky It was far safer to land on the side of one of the empty mountains

They could deal with the attacks of several Grandmaster Class beasts if they needed to But, it would be much safer if they could avoid theht alert whatever ano to find

What exactly they were looking for Oblong hadn’t made clear to William Just that they would knohen they saw it

It only took them a few short minutes to reach the valley where William had found the Ironhide Wolf Once they reached it, however, Oblong had called theround, rubbing his chin A look of curiosity covered his face

"Has anything notable in history happened in this area in the past?&8221; He abruptly turned to Williahtly taken aback by the abrupt question He thought about it hard before coend has it that a stray hunter found a great treasure here, reat flood of beasts rushed frothe predecessor of Yor City It’s part of the reason for Yor City’s great walls&8221;

Oblong paid close attention as he spoke, rubbing his chin a second time He turned to his co weird here, a strange aura of death&8221;

The Black Lightning Wizard shrugged He was currently scanning the nearby area, keeping on alert The warriors they’d brought had set up a s them from any surprises

"We can’t turn back now We’ll just have to push through&8221; His voice was cool

Oblong struggled to his feet, his portly figure trehtly The Royal Wizard Ayht hint of mockery in his eyes

"Yes, be that as itwith his hands, "I still think we should make our path carefully and-&8221;

Before he could finish speaking, however, one of the Master Class Black Iron Guards rushed forward, his helmet pulled up to reveal a face of absolute confusion

"Uh, ruff voice cut off the wizards as he bowed, and then stood at attention

"Yes ular cheer

"We… uh-, found so over his words

"Found so? Well, what is it? Don’t just leave us at that, man&8221; Graxital broke in, a look of annoyance on his face

"Uh-… um, I- I don’t kno to describe it You’ll need to see for yourself sir&8221; Thebehind hi into the air

&8221;

"Careful Salu her Blood Wolf slowly as it choly

A large, 3 round, dead, red blood flowing froe red aura see them an odd, unholy appearance

They currently stood in the midst of the Nebra Mountains, very close to a pair of oddly shattered peaks An eerie air filled thisunnatural, soic that all of her kind used, was incredibly diverse, with many different applications There were so many branches that it was called a virtually unliic, seeking to unlock its mysteries They were no match for nobles like the next to masters like herself

"It’s just a Blood Wolf&8221; Brutus’ voice crudely cut into theGaia’s quiet appreciation of Salu vaers at him as she responded,

"Salum is a beautiful boy, farof love than you, Brutus&8221; Her eyes took on an unhinged look as she responded, a dangerous aura starting to rise around her San to hover around her arrinned as he saw this,

"You want to go at it again now, Gaia?&8221; He clapped his hands together Ihtly in the ht

A look of fury appeared on the feled to control her e her eyes as she turned back to look at Salum, a sour look on her face

"We’ll eat &8221; She said, stroking the Blood Wolf onceaway froave Brutus onethe wolf as it headed into the valley between the two shattered peaks, where a lone, pluht, wiping off his claws in the nearby river

Making a spit had turned out exactly as he wanted, and creating a fire had been even easier He looked back at the roasting deer corpse, salivating already

The sizzling fat, the taste of war in his ine it He did a happy little dance as he walked around the fire, pleased, his luscious green scales gli or sauce…&8221; He lance around, failing to find anything that looked like a seasoning or sauce

And, if he was perfectly honest, he had no idea what type of plant would act as a seasoning Were seasonings even made from plants? Parsley was, he knew that But as salthis lack of interest in cooking or che to be reborn in another world where ic exists, he would have prepared much more extensively It’s not like he asked to be here

A sizzling sound woke Dorian fro s the deer over

"Should I have re the next time he cooked he would try that in the future

As he watched the meat cook on the fire, he leaned back for aout on the A food in the wilds of the wilderness, far and away froons in it, the i he’d heard recently, on Earth, rose up in hishis clawed foot to the beat

A hundred es and warriors slowly crept through the underbrush, sneaking about Soon, they reached an opening in the trees, where they could peer into the center of the valley, where the river ran through

Near the center of the valley, the group couldnext to what appeared to be a large deer cooking over a fire

"Halt!&8221; Graxital whispered fiercely, staring at the son in confusion Willia nervously

"Do you hear that?&8221; Graxital held his hand up,at his ears, and then towards the center of the valley

Williauely, he could reen scaled dragon
