Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 174: Almost flying

The next morning when Nessa woke up, she stretched off and looked at the blanket that was covering her and smile when she saw the Isamu was already up and she stretched off before placing the blanket back into the bag and he looked at her then bowed his head and she smiled at him.

"Good morning, lady Nessa," He said.

"Good morning Isamu, thank you for the blanket," She replied.

"Can't have you catching a cold, you are welcome, did you sleep well?" He asked.

"Yes, I slept well, did you?" She asked.

"Yes, I slept well with all of my senses on, just in case," He responded and she chuckled.

"That's good to know, shall we get going?" She asked as he grew bigger and she smiled at him.

"We can go only if you let me take you, you should rest your feet, you don't want to tire yourself out, lady Nessa," He responded and she smiled as he bowed down and she climbed onto him, then fluffed him and he chuckled a she raised up and she held onto him.

"Lady Neessa, are you comfortable back there?" He asked.

"I think I am more than just comfortable right now, Isamu, I am ready to go when you are," She responded and he chuckled.

"I am always ready, hold on tight, I will be following the road but keep on going through the woods, that way we won't be seen by certain people or so on, do you understand what I am saying?" He asked and she sighed.

"Isamu, I understand what you are saying, relax and take off," She responded.

"As you wish, lady Nessa," He said as he rushed off with full speed and she held onto him while looking at the things they passed by and she smiled.

"You are really fast," She said.

"Thank you, you might want to hold on," He replied and she held onto him tighter and he chuckled as he got even faster and then finally exited the woods while following the road and she smiled brightly while looking at the beautiful grassland as they passed by.

"They are beautiful, aren't they?" She asked and he looked at them.

"Yes, they are beautiful, my lady, do you want me to slow down?" He asked.

"No, it's fine, you can keep going the same way, I believe we will be able to reach there a lot faster than normal people," She responded with a smirk and he jumped and her eyes widened when she looked down at the hill he jumped over and landed on another and she smiled brightly.

"I didn't know you can go this high, it almost seemed as though you were flying," She said.

"Even Akio can do this my lady, due to how fast we go, we can jump pretty high, it's how much we have evolved, I know it's because of you, we couldn't do these things before so I thank you for these wonderful abilities," He replied and she smiled.

"You are most welcome," She said and he bowed his head as a few people passed by in carriages, their eyes widening when they saw Isamu, who glanced at them, and Nessa didn't look in their direction because she didn't want anyone seeing her face.

"They are looking at us, what should I do?" He asked.

"Ignore them, continue moving, you might want to increase your speed a bit though," She responded.

"Got it, you're not squeezing me, so hold on tighter; I don't want you to fall off because you'll get hurt if you do," He said, and she smiled as she braced her head against his back, and he looked at her before balancing his body weight, as a result of which he became lighter on his feet and began moving even faster, leaving those in the carriage dumbstruck, and Nessa saw then smiled.

"I'm pretty sure that would have been my reaction if I had been in their space," She said and he laughed.

"Good thing you aren't, lady Nessa," He said before leaping across a river, and she smiled as he dipped his tail into the water.

"This is fantastic; I'm glad you decided to do it," She replied.

"So am I, I got to impress you even more, maybe next time, both Akio and I can join you on a trip," He said and she sighed as he landed on his feet.

"Maybe," She replied and he nodded as she laid back on him and stretched off while yawning.

"You can sleep if you like, I know where we have to go, I have seen the map," He said.

"Got it, but I'm not going to sleep; I'm just feeling very relaxed, more relaxed than I've felt in a long time, thank you, Isamu," She replied.

"You are welcome, lady Nessa," He said as she took a deep breath then smiled.

They traveled for hours that day, taking breaks here and there, but for the most part they were on the move.

Night fell, and Nessa had fallen asleep on Isamu's back, and he smiled and decided to keep going because he wasn't tired, and she had allowed him to rest a lot during the day, so he still had a lot of energy within his body.

When Nessa awoke the next morning, she stretched and was about to fall off Isamu's back because she didn't realize he was still on the move and when he noticed she was about to fall, he grabbed her with his tail and she sighed.

"Good morning," He said as she fixed herself.

"Good morning," She replied with a sigh and he chuckled.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah I am fine, thanks, did you not stop?" She asked and he exhaled deeply.

"No, I don't want you to arrive late and since I am not tired, I decided to go on, besides I stopped and took a couple of breaks, saw many people passing by us as well and I kind of deliberately let them see me, you should see their reaction," He responded and she chuckled then patted him on the back and he glanced at her before she stretched off and looked at the villages they passed by, knowing they were already nearing their destination.
