Volume 10, Chapter 52: Air Raid
“Excuse me, did you see who stole our land dragons?”
Bai Yueguang stared at the guy for a while before he went over to ask.
The nightmare turned his head and looked at him with a smile.
“With so many demons coming and going, how could I possibly remember?”
“What. Weren’t we the only ones to chain up land dragons over there? How could you not remember?”
“Well~~ Although it asks you to tie them up there, it doesn’t mean that it was our job to look after it for you. You didn’t leave anyone to look after it so it’s your problem.”
“I only want to know who stole it! I don’t care whether or not it was your job!”
“In that case......”
Giving it some though they said.
“Well, they looked like a lizard but there should be another accomplice. They’re probably already at the western side of the forest by now.”
“......”
Bai Yueguang stared at him for a moment, then asked in confusion.
“If you knew that from the beginning and were willing to tell me in the end, then why didn’t you just come out and say it from the start?”
They took out something the size of a matchbox and pressed a button on it.
‘I only want to know who stole it! I don’t care whether or not it was your job!’
Bai Yueguang’s voice came from it.
“What’s......going on?”
“Statement freeing us of liability. The captain told us to confirm that we won’t be held liable before giving assistance. That’s the best way to reduce our losses. Those of us on the lowest levels are the ones that have to take on the burden of the loss.”
“......”
Both Bai Yueguang and I nearly collapsed from that.
Oh my god. Did the Demon King teach them this? What’s going on with all of this? Is there a security camera somewhere?
I looked around and sure enough, the Famous Detective skill lit up a spot on the upper right corner of the wall. It’s probably......it might be something like that.
“......All right.”
Bai Yueguang scratched his head and came back.
“All right, let’s head over to the west side of the forest.”
“The west side of the forest......”
I looked over in that direction before turning to Oyado.
“Have they left a trail?”
“There’s a bunch of people that went that way~”
Oyado walked westward along some traces on the ground and turned to me.
“Five demons. Three of them had claws, they should be from the lizard race. The other two had smaller footprints, they were probably from the night demon race.”
“Well, there should be other people. They stole our land dragons, so there should be others riding on them.”
“No elder sister.”
Oyado pointed at the traces on the ground.
“This lizardman took four of our dragons and came over here. The others came over and there is no footprints from them after that. From here on they rode our dragons.”
“So the two huge lizards were riding on one of them, and the rest were riding on the other.”
I stretched my muscles and looked west.
“Gentlemen, in order to reduce the distance, let’s run for a bit.”
“Well......that’s to be expected.”
Several layers of green glows appeared on us as several different acceleration skills were applied to our bodies.
“The effects seem pretty good, it’s a shame we can’t fly......actually, it might turn out all right.”
When the thought came to me, I estimated the size of the area we were standing on, and with a wave of my hand a giant ice board appeared under our feet!
“This magic is a little bit hard to control.”
I took out several ice crystals and tried to change them out while we were flying.
“Heyheyhey, this isn’t ok!”
Aliyah hugged onto my waist out of fear.
“Well......probably.”
After a moment of thought I summoned a few handles onto the ice board.
“Ok. Hold on and let’s go!”
With that, I speed up and flew west into the forest with Aliyah and Hei Luoli screaming in terror.
Back at the gate, the nightmare guard watched us go while wiping away sweat.
“It’s a good thing that I told them the truth......or they would have come back and killed me when they found out I was lying......”
————————————poi————————————
The trees in the Abyss are nice. Since they have needles rather than leaves we can see the people under them.
But their route seemed to be easy to find. Soon after entering the forest we were able to find a path that appeared to be artifical.
And since they didn’t know we were following them which meant that we should be able to find them by following the path.
“Oh, I see them.”
Not long after Hei Luoli said that I spotted a few yellow names in the forest ahead of us.
God. Worthy of an archer. She was able to see them before we did. The difference of being a professional.
“Well they’re about three hundred meters away. At one hundred meters I’ll go to a lower altitude so that we can make a surprise attack.”
“Aren’t skydivers supposed to have parachutes?
Bai Yueguang looked at me innocently.
“Cut the crap and act like a man. You have a lot to do here.”
“Fuck!”
In a bad mood, Bai Yueguang rolled over and jumped down!
Hey, is he crazy? We’re still quite a distance away.
But a moment later he pulled out in sword in mid-air and made a chopping pose!
A black light came out of his body. He jumped in mid-air, turned into a dark shadow and rushed towards the enemy!
......
“That’s a useful skill.”
“Yeah......”
By the time we had gotten over there, Bai Yueguang had already rushed into the middle of the enemy.
I can see the land dragons from above. It seems we found the right people.
Everyone else jumped down. I lowered the height of the skateboard directly onto a tree, crushing it into the ground.
The board was completely turned into ice fragments. An entire tree was smashed into the ground, it would be weird if it wasn’t damaged.
“What the hell’s going on!? Who are you people!?”
They roared as they slashed towards us.
I realized something, it was like this in the city too.
I seemed to be the only one that understood the language the Demons were speaking. The others had no idea what they were saying.
Thinking about it, I took out my weapon.
“They’re cursing us! They’re fighting to the death!”
Un, I’m really smart.
