74 Lost Forest Part Two (1/2)
Sounds of crickets could be heard all around, the dual moons were rested high in the night sky. Their dim light lighting the ground below. Alicia stretched her arms and straightened her armor. She picked up Frey who was soundly sleeping in the grass next to her and walked over to Claire. ”Claire I leave Frey in your hands.”
”Yes, Young Miss.” Claire gently took Frey into her hands before disappearing into Alicia's space.
”We need to get into position.” Alicia said as she nodded to the rest. Alicia and Blake were to be the main attackers. While Rose and Starla acted accordingly.
*AWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!*
The sounds of a wolf's howl could be heard in the distances. ”Get ready they are coming.” Blake shouted out.
Not too long after, five meter tall earth wolves burst out from the tree line. These earth wolves got their names because they seemed to be made out of earth. They had a brown crusted shell of dirt packed on to their bodies that acted like their fur. The difficult thing about earth wolves was their defense and size. The dirt that was packed on their bodies could be hardened at will making it very tough to kill them with swords alone.
”Use magic attacks to break through their armor!” Blake shouted out as a group of twenty earth wolves came bounding towards the village.
Starla was up first as she casted ten water swords firing them at the earth wolves to try to soften up the packed earth on their bodies. Alicia and Blake rushed in with swords drawn covering their swords with water magic. The biggest weakness of earth wolves was water magic. The biggest issue was for the four was their size. Being around five meters tall they basically towered over Alicia but a lot. Because of this Alicia could only aim for the legs at the joints to bring them down to her level or jump up on their backs.
Rose and Starla would attack any earth wolf that was brought down to help quickly finish them off. with the addition of Blake the group quickly took down seventy percent of the earth wolves before the rest fled. Seeing this Alicia and Blake nodded at each other and followed suit expanding their detection magic to its fullest.
The earth wolves as expected did, in fact, rush into the forest and into the fog. Alicia with Blake on her heels rushed straight into the fog without any hesitation. Of course, Alicia kept Blake in view the entire time.
In such dense fog at this time of night where no light was able to penetrate through, it was very hard to see what was in front of you. If not for the detection magic Alicia might have crashed into many trees by now. ”Blake they are not stopping at all. It seems they are heading towards the center of the forest. We need to be extra careful especially since there seems to be a creature out there that can hide from detection magic.”
”Yeah, you are right. But it's okay I have a magical tool that can get a better read on those hidden in the dark.” Blake explained as he waved a small device in his hand.
