Chapter 593 Traveling On Top Of Giant Wolves
?
-----
To move faster, I decided to summon some power up Fenrirs I had in my Grimoire, whose cards I have prepared beforehand and saved already. Fenrir might only be F Rank but thanks to the power of Familiar Awakening, his stats increased by a lot, and he's now the fastest summon if I include his powered-up abilities and the effects the bring. After awakening he also becomes taller and bigger, so he can easily carry up to three students on his wide back.

In fact, the bonuses became way higher now that the Familiar Awakening Skill finally reached Level 2, and even with the extra MP cost, he's the cheapest fast mobility-type Familiar I can bring out. Naturally my entire party was surprised. Aside from my close friends, which were only Erdrich, Eric, and Alberta here, everyone else was quite surprised, if not terrified.
"I-I never thought I would get to ride over these giant black wolves…" Clarice was having a hard time believing reality right now.
"Lady Clarice, please don't let go of the wolf's mane or you may fall!" Clark alerted her. He wasn't related with her beforehand, but since he was recruited into her party he has become her bootlicker and is always acting like her personal bodyguard.
"S-Silence Clark! I am just fine- Abababababahhh…!" Clarice seemed to have some sort of horror over riding giant beasts.
The rest of Clarice's party started to laugh at her hijinks. It seemed that whatever thing she did was rather funny. Despite her terrible personality I can tell why others would follow her, she's still brave and although dumb, she's nice with those of her party… well, partially.
"Uwaah! This is the first time I travel over such a big dog!" Alberta seemed rather happy about this.
"Really? Blake always take us on these strolls, I remember back in the village we used to travel over these all the time!" Eric laughed.
As he said that, the rest of our party looked at him with disbelief.
"You guys are really monster kids, huh?" Clarice sighed.
"I can't help but agree…" Clark sighed.
"It must have been so cool to have been your friends in our childhood, Blake!" Mimy said, with a bubbly smile as her slime rested over her head.
"Yeah, you guys always seem mysterious and cool, just what village did you came from?" Wondered Alianna. "The country where we originated from was very peaceful. Lord Eduard grew with me and a few other of us protecting him at all times, and we had little trouble. I wonder if you lived in a frontier village." The girl asked with a smile, her eyes shining brightly with interest.
"We come from the largest village at the frontier of Goldriver, the one with many Spirit Trees." I said, without wanting to disclose more information than necessary.
"W-Wait, what?! The famous Lesser Yggdrasil Spirit Forest?!" Mimy and Alianna asked at the same time.
"I guess it has many names now, hahaha." Eric laughed. "Well, yeah, from there."
"We faced a few troubles." Erdrich said. "We stopped an army of demons controlled by cultists, then we stopped a cultist necromancer from destroying the whole village with undead."
"We also fought wyverns and hunted giant wild boars since we were very young!" Eric said while puffing his chest.
"Woow, so cool!" Alberta was also surprised. "I can tell why you're so strong now, Eric!"
"I come from a family of hunters." I sighed "Well, most of us do except Erdrich, so we had to learn from a younger age."
Most of the students hearing what we were talking about started gossiping with one another. They seemed way more curious than I expected. But I let it slide for now. Nobody seemed suspicious, thankfully. They were just genuinely curious.
"T-That's so damn cool! I wish I could had have so much action when I was younger!"
"We mostly spent our years learning magic at the Magician's school due to our talents…"
The twins Aquaria and Aquarius seemed quite fascinated.
"Yeah, but as a result, our overall levels are very low because we spent the majority of our lives until now studying and not hunting like you guys." Mimy sighed. "But we'll make sure to grow stronger now! Y-Yeah!"
"I feel ashamed to say this, but we'll be in your care, Blake!" Alianna said with a confident grin. She was very tomboyish and rather knight-like. She was most likely very close to Eduard as well.
"Of course, I'll be pushing you guys to your limits and then beyond that." I laughed rather evilly. "You'll beg me for mercy but I won't listen to you."
"T-That's a bit scary!" Clarice cried. "Just let us finish off some monsters…"
"It'll be way more than that though." I said with a smile. "Just taking the prey of someone else won't help you grow."
"T-Then what's your plan, Blake?" Alianna wondered while tilting her head.
"Oh, it's nothing complicated, don't worry." I smiled, keeping it a secret.
We kept riding while I and the rest of my friends were being bombarded with questions. This was the perfect opportunity for many of our classmates to finally socialize with us. We were such a closed group of friends that everyone seemed to be dying to talk to us and know us better.
I could even notice how Alberta was getting slightly jealous as her boyfriend was being talked by several girls at the same time. Though she did a good job at concealing that.
"So anyways Blake, what sort of-"
"We're here." I said, interrupting Alianna, the most talkative of them all.
"Huh? Oh!" The blue-haired spear wielder eyes opened wide, as everyone was greeted with the Rocky Cliffs, the Danger Zone we needed to completely clean from monsters and demons today.
And to greet us, a large swarm of monsters flew towards us from the skies already.
"T-Those are D- Rank Giant Falcons!"
