Chapter 22：Drop Bear King (1/2)

With the morning sun rising, we gathered our things, left the inn and set off on our journey again. Ann was displeased that nothing had happened during the time we were there, but Wilfred had put up the A class quest in the guildhall as he promised.

Although I would have liked to see what a shadow beast looked like, there was no guarantee that there was actually one here in this town in the first place. More likely it would just be a high tier magical beast.

The horses and carriage carried on through the path. We pushed onwards until Wilfred had spoken.

”It seems like some drop bears are following us, I can't tell how many or what kind”

Drop bears were magical beast that would often attack in groups. Their main features were their pointy ears and razor-sharp claws around a foot in length. Although around the same size as a dog still contained the strength of a regular bear.

”How long have they been following?”

Delbert asked.

”Since we left the inn.”

Bernardo lifted his axe into his hands.

”looks like we will have some fun after all.”

”Let us hope there aren't any Drop bear kings among them.”

Wilfred said with his hand now on the hilt of his sword.

If I had remembered correctly from what my father had taught me, the Drop bear king was a class above intermediate. Which would make it fall into the advanced tier beasts,

What amazed me even more, was the fact that Wilfred was able to sense that the creatures had been following us. I had no idea even with my enhanced hearing abilities. The only way I would have been able to tell was if I was to use my dragon eyes skill.

”Why did you not inform us earlier!”

Delbert complained while looking around to see if he could spot any of the beasts.

”I was worried that the children might be sacred”

Wilfred said looking towards us.

”Ray, Gary I need you two to arm yourselves, be prepared to fight off anything that comes at you. We don't know their numbers so we might not be able to protect you. You will soon become brave knights of Avrion. The most important thing is to stay alive.”

I drew out my sword in response to Wilfred's words, Gary did the same but I could see he was shaking. Scared of what might happen to us.

We carried on moving forward now knowing that the beasts were following us, I activated my dragon eyes. There seemed to be ten Drop bears, but I couldn't be sure. The path we were on was surrounded by trees with a forest on either side. The bears made good use of the trees for cover. Making me lose count every time they moved.
