Chapter 1006 The Sunstone Plateau
??-----
The Sunstone Plateau was more majestic than we imagined, and the view from where we were was completely amazing too! Without holding back, we quickly started running forwards, jumping over rocks and evading immense goats that were peacefully eating whatever they could find.
"What are these goats called?" I wondered, as my mother took a look at one nearby.
"Oh, these? They're an endemic species of this land." My mother said. "They're called Sunstone Plateau Goats, they're very strong. As you've noticed, the weakest is Tier 7."
"They're sure strong…" Aquarina said. "I kind of want to hunt some but… they're so peacefully eating and being free, maybe this time we shouldn't hunt them."
"Well yes, they're peaceful creatures and not predators." My father explained.
"Though, their meat is really delicious…" Nepheline pointed out. "However, it is better to leave them alone- Ah."
However, at Nepheline's words, Aquarina quickly went to hunt one… Channeling the power of her two newly evolved Spirits.
The goat that she ended targeting was a Tier 7 one that was nearby, munching on some nutrient rich stones. The goat quickly got into a fighting stance the moment it noticed her.
"MEEEE!"
The giant and majestic-looking creature charged towards her faster than Aquarina imagined, using its enormous golden horns to pummel her back to where she came from.
BAAAAMMM!!!
The attack itself released a shockwave of flames too, these goats gained fire magic powers by eating the Sunstones that grew in here!
"Urgh…!"
Aquarina was shaken a bit, falling back as she was surprised by the attack and how fast it was. Her Spirit's Auras covered her body, encompassing her in an Armor of Frost Dragon Scales and materializing four tridents made of water around her body.
"Hey, these guys are much tougher than I imagined- Uwagh!"
However, Aquarina wasn't even able to predict it before the ground beneath her collapsed! The goat conjured the "Pitfall" Spell on her, as she easily fell for it.
"Aquarina!"
I ran to her side as I heard her parents lament their daughter's lost…
"Ah, I shouldn't have said they were tasty." Nepheline laughed a bit.
"Aquarina! Give it up, we didn't come here to hunt monsters!" Shade said. "Also they're much stronger than you think! They know a lot of magic!"
"Urgh…"
I helped Aquarina get out of the hole as she glared at the goat, who was still on high alert from afar… She felt a bit frustrated she got completely beaten by it.
She was fine, there were no wounds or anything bad, just a few scratches and an exhausted body, I covered in her some healing magic, and she was fine and dandy.
I suppose her parents didn't intervene because they knew she was alright, I'm the only worrywart here.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine… But that damn goat, now there's no way I'm giving up my meal!"
She got into her full Amazonian mood, her Aura erupting from her body as her hands grew draconic claws, she gained a long sea snake-like tail, small horns, and even draconic eyes.
Her Sea Dragon Heart was beating rapidly, fueling her half-Draconification transformation! She was really going for it…
"Should I help?" I asked her.
"Nah, leave this one to me!" She smiled. "When we start living together in the future, I have to provide for my cute wife after all!"
"G-Geez…" I felt embarrassed she treated me like her wife already.
FLAAASH!
Aquarina leaped towards the goat in a split of a second, emerging above it and unleashing a rain of Divine Sea Tridents against it.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Countless explosions of water reached the creature, yet it stood still and almost unscathed. Its golden horns generated a beautiful warrior made of sunlight, protecting it and evaporating the water in a second.
"And this thing is a Tier 7 Monster?!" Aquarina was shocked, after we've fought so many in that similar Tier, this one was sure mighty.
"The biggest difference between the Tier 7 monsters you've fought so far, and these goats is that these guys know how to use their abilities." My father said. "Every goat here is very old, they live long lives and are gigantic sources of mana. They have learned how to wield magic and conjure spells for self-defense against predators."
"So it's a combination of both talent and experience given by longevity." I said while assessing the battle.
"Indeed." My mother nodded.
"Then how about this?!"
Aquarina roared while rushing down with all her speed and strength, an Aura of Draconic Power erupted from her body, this was both the effect of her Skill and also of her own Beast Aura!
"[Sea Dragon's Aura]!"
"ROOOOAARR!"
A gigantic sea dragon surged from her body, erupting out of her Aura and engulfing the goat, shattering its barrier and then biting its legs.
At the same time, two more of these sea dragons emerged out of Aquarina's Aura, combined with her Leviathan Spirit, they turned into Ice Dragon manifestations!
"SHAAAH!"
"GRUOOH!"
They quickly overwhelmed the goat, attacking it from several areas at the same time. Aquarina decided to just go nuts and abuse her overpowered abilities.
"MEEEHEE!"
The goat furiously rammed the dragon manifestations with its sheer strength and size of over seven meters, slamming the ice dragons with all its strength, destroying them, and then kicking the other to oblivion.
CRASH! CRASH! CLASH!
"Hoh, you're not half bad!"
Aquarina attacked the goat when it was busy destroying the manifestations of her Beast Aura, descending and rampaging its head with her attacks.
She took out her two daggers and imbued them with her Aura and Undine's powers, turning them into a giant Trident and a huge harpoon.
"[Divine Poseidon's Trident]: [Skull-Piercing Trident]! [Oceanus Harpoon]!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Three attacks hit the goat's head, as we heard the sound of its skull finally giving up, cracks appearing over it.
The goat didn't give up though, attacking Aquarina by conjuring countless metallic spikes from the ground.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Aquarina kicked them back with her dragon legs, as her harpoon pierced the goat's forehead and then got stuck there.
"Gotcha!"
With a vicious smile, she leaped in midair and flew into the skies, pulling out the harpoon and destroying the goat's brains and skull on its way out!
CRAAASH!
