Chapter 169 Exploring The Elven Capital

?

The many red eyes staring at Damian and Frederic sent a shiver down their spines. Well, more in Frederic's spine, as he was a dragon, yet was as scared as a mouse.

"Damian, what should we do?" Frederic asked as he moved behind Damian to hide.

"Calm down, old dragon. Just because the beasts have red-eyes it doesn't mean they are scary. Look," Damian said.

He moved his palm toward one of the beast, pulling it closer to them. It was not a scary beast like Frederic imagined, but a rabbit.

The rabbit wasn't normal. It had large sharp teeth, resembling a shark's. But it wasn't as terrible as Frederic had first imagined.

"Rabbits, haha. Of course," Frederic said, sighing in relief.

The rabbit floated in front of Damian, trying to bite him, yet could not. A funny scene to witness, and the other rabbits ran away after realizing Damian was not someone they could mess with.

"What about this one? Let him go too, right?" Frederic said.

Damian listened to it, yet did not mind. He had other plans for the little one, like controlling his mind!

A mental connection wasn't hard for Damian, and in no time, the rabbit had to obey his orders, and they could also speak mentally!

<Human, how are you doing this?>

<Do as I told, and you can go. Now, what dangers lie inside this place?>

<Here? The outskirts of this city is where we, the weaker beasts, live. We have a community here, and we don't go near the center of the city because that's where he lives!>

<He? Who?>

<A Demon! A winged demon who controls everyone here! The good part is that he rarely eats, so that's why we all can reproduce and prosper inside this place.>

<Is there other dangers I should be wary of?>

<Well, it is not like this winged demon is the only powerful thing here. Sure, he commands everyone, but in the main parts of the city, there are other types of things. Right, a few adventurers arrived here a few days ago!>

<Other humans? Did they wear black robes and masks?>

<Ehh, no. Do you need something else or can I go?>

<You can go, but if you see something strange, let me know.>

Damian broke the connection so that the rabbit did not have to listen to all of his commands, but he still kept some of it, allowing him to see what the rabbit saw.

He did not know if that would help with something — the rabbit did not get near the inner part of the city anyway — but it did not cost him to try, so why not?

"So what happened? Why was that rabbit looking at you as if you were its father?" Frederic asked.

The exchange of words between Damian and the rabbit went fast, but Frederic still noticed how the two were looking at each other as if they were talking.

"It seems there's a winged demon in the main part of the city that rules over all the other creatures here. He is not the only one that might be dangerous to us, but he's the one we should pay more attention to."

"Winged demon? The rabbit told you that?"

"Hum."

"D-Did he say the name of the winged demon or something?"

Damian could not help but noticed how apprehensive Frederic looked and sounded, wondering what was the reason behind his fear.

"Do you know this demon?"

"I mean, winged demon is not because he has wings. Well, he has wings, but that's a title in the underworld! So he could be one of those demons, and they are powerful!"

'The underworld…'

The underworld was a realm that went from unknown to Damian's worst enemy! The underworld lord coveted the golden key Damian possessed, though he had no clue of its purpose. This made Damian their number one enemy, and now a powerful demon had invaded the city!

"I think returning is the best option for us. You certainly agree with me, right?" Frederic said.

He was not wrong. If Damian loses the battle, he could lose the golden key and risk something worse.

But there was also the other side of the coin. The winged demon could have answered what the golden key was, or at least hints of where Damian could find more about it, so that was also an opportunity!

"No, we must continue. If things get complicated, we can leave."

"Leave? Against that demon? No way!"

"Damn it, old dragon. Aren't you a mighty dragon?"

"I was! I am now weak and rusty!"

Damian couldn't believe his mission partner was a dragon that could not fight. A weak dragon! If anyone heard that, they would think it was a joke.

"Either way, we must continue. Let's go! Oh, another thing, the rabbit saw another group of humans here a few days ago."

"Humans? What are they doing here? Looking to die?"

"Hey, I am a human too!"

"Ehh, right, I forgot about that."

"…"

After deciding they would continue their journey, Damian and Frederic moved from their starting location.

There were four massive branches of the tree which acted like four towers, and Damian was inside one of them. Then, another branch led to the major city, and there, many buildings were settled.

All the buildings were made of wood from the same tree, and Damian knew the quality was good as nothing changed.

Sure, the vegetation had overgrown as there was no one there responsible for trimming it, but the buildings themselves looked like new ones.

On his way to the city's entrance, Damian could not help but look down, seeing the clouds beneath him!

"This place is higher than the clouds! How does the rain works here?" Damian asked.

Frederic also lived in a flying city, so he said, "At least back in my city, the rain was artificial. Some dragons could produce it, and we had a crystal that could do that as well. I guess the same thing happens here."

Despite them not having the technology Earth had, Damian had to give them credit for being able to produce such magical things! Those types of things were hard to produce, even with Earth's technology, and the help of superhumans.

"I see. At least you know some things, old dragon," Damian said jokingly.

They kept moving toward the city, and once they arrived at the first set of buildings — not big ones but more like houses — a beast came flying toward them!

It was a snake with two wings, and its fangs were as big as a human leg!

"Watch out!" Damian yelled.

The snake tried to pierce its fangs at Frederic, but he swiftly dodged to the side, looking like he was flying.

"My turn now!"

Damian pulled out a grimoire from his spatial ring, making it float above his hand. He channeled its energy, creating a Bone Spear, tossing it right into the beast's head!

The speed at which he did the moves was incredible, and different from when he was unexperienced. His casting speed was way faster, giving the flying snake no chance of survival!

It pierced through the snake's head, making it fall from the sky, lifeless.

"What was that? You know this type of magic? Damian, you know this is something from the underworld, right?" Frederic said.

"Oh? You mean they are the ones who created this?"

"Yes, but many other humans and even other races practice this type of magic. This is nothing for the faint of heart. Are you sure you want to keep learning this?"

The way Frederic spoke would certainly make anyone else stop practicing it, but Damian? No way! A necromancer was his favorite class from the games he used to play back in Earth, so that type of magic was like a dream to him! He would pursue the path no matter what happened.

"Thanks for the advice, but I will keep practicing it for now. If something bad happens, then I will stop," Damian said.

It wasn't entirely true — he would not stop even if something bad happened — but it at least made Frederic relax, and not ask further questions.

After dealing with the beast, they kept exploring some of the nearby houses to see if there was something inside, or beasts hiding, waiting for a chance to kill them.

They found beasts, but dead ones, all scattered inside the houses or on the streets. It was like someone had passed through that place killing everything!

"Could it be the group of adventurers you talked about?" Frederic asked.

"It should be. I am surprised they are still alive."

If the demon was that strong, and the adventurers were still alive, that could only mean they were powerful, or the demon had yet to find them.

"Ahhhhhh!"

A scream came from one house near where Damian was! He exchanged glances with Frederic, and they both headed toward where the sound came from.
