Chapter 147

Ch. 147 What Now

I look up and jump up in a straight line.

I could see a herd of hyenas migrating in the distance. It’s the first time I’ve flown so high.

The weight of my body was starting to take toll and my ascension speed gradually slowed down.

Not yet, I can still fly up.

After finally coming to a stop in the air I looked over my surroundings. Most of what I saw was just sand. No s.h.i.+ps or other islands could be seen on the ocean. Even if there were just migratory birds would give me a little hope, but nothing.

Is there seriously no other city around besides that walled city. Should I try looking around a little more?

I flap my wings but I don’t rise in alt.i.tude. Looks like my momentum from jumping has already disappeared, and it looks like I cant rise anymore with the strength of my wings alone. Not only did I fly all the way to my limit but I also managed to break my posture.

I need to recover, this is actually a pretty risky situation. When I thrust my center of gravity to the left to fix myself, my body turned over. Due to my impatience it backfired, this is dangerous. I was awkwardly falling while flailing my limbs around.

After magnificently cras.h.i.+ng down on my shoulder raising a sand cloud, I slowly rose. It was a good thing I had [[Fall Resistance]].

Without that, it may have been the end of me.

While I was falling I happen to catch a glimpse of that one soldier captain who had attacked me before in the distance.

What was his name….bald? Dutz? It looked like it straddled a three headed camel with something. I was uneasy as to whether he would be able to escape safely after the horse ran away, but it seems my worry was unneeded. I think that camel was pretty slow but…I think that bald man will be able to make it alright.

“pefu?”

「What, was there something?」

With the thought in my head sent with [[Telepathy]] I shook my head. This is troubling. If we don’t find another city soon I will have to send Nina back to that walled city.

Nina was watching over mine and the ball rabbits conversation with uneasiness. I better explain the situation to Nina. I need to tell her about my [[Dragon Scale Powder]], and about the plan to find a good place for her since I can’t stay together for a long time. I also need to raise my skill level, I should explain this with [[Human Transformation]].

Lets see, the amount of time I could spend as a human is…..

[[Irus.h.i.+a]]

Race: Evil Plague Dragon

State: Normal

Lv: 44/75

HP: 302/344

MP: 237/237

Alright, 237 seconds….that’s almost four minutes.

The conversation will be smoother than before, and that should be enough. Although, I’d like to at least leave around 50 MP. Also, if I’m not able to explain everything in time, I can just have the ball rabbit be the translator like always. I can just ask it to use [[Telepathy]] from the start but I also want to talk to people occasionally.

“gurua”

I give a low growl to get Nina’s and the ball rabbits attention. After making eye contact with Nina I use [[Human Transformation]].

As before, my whole body heats up and compresses to human size. At first I almost fainted due to the heat and pain but now I’m used to it. I hope the duration and my appearance is better. I can still only call myself half lizardman and half human.

Nina guessing that I wanted to talk to her, looked over to the ball rabbit and made a firm expression before going in front of me.  No, you don’t need that much resolution to face me….You can at least trust me a bit more.
