Chapter 136: Full-Transformation Artefact (1/2)
After a couple of minutes of scrutinizing his Status Screen, he decided to close it. He decided to cure Sistela's gangster behavior while at it. Although he wasn't as good as this girl, he had a little knowledge about it. Hopefully, it won't get any worse.
About half an hour had passed, he was finally able to return her to her original way of talking.
He glanced around him and saw everyone was resting.
Aegor was lying with his stomach facing the sky. Out of boredom, Ember was poking Aegor's stomach using dry wood.
Taflas was blowing the bonfire to kill the fire, but the fire just went bigger. Tiafel and Cinder were leaning at each other with their eyes close. Both were noticeably tired.
Without him knowing, everyone became close to each other; though if they successfully entered the last barrier, all of them would become an opponent to each other.
Looks like he had to wait after she woke up before creating new dolls.
The leftover participants who joined them were also resting around. All of them were as exhausted as the others. While resting, some were gossiping about something which Yman did not bother taking interest in.
He closed his eyes and shared the vision of the [Fire Doll] monitoring on the sky. But soon, he opened his eyes while squinting towards the direction of the bridge.
When Ember and Taflas noticed him stood up. ”Hey, Bro, aren't you going to rest?” Asked Ember. ”Crimson, where are you going?” Taflas asked too.
He glanced at them, ”I'm not too tired, I'm just going to check for something while waiting for the others to wake up.”
Hearing him saying not too tired, Taflas just forced a laugh. Well, they already used to him. Even the Expert from Canine Sect who were known for their high stamina had to rest for a little.
Taflas nodded his head, Yman was about to walk away when, ”let me go with you, bro.”
He was slightly surprised, he stared at him, then he noticed something within his eyes, looks like Ember had something to say.
He nodded.
The two of them walked towards the bridge. They climbed down the 30-steps stair which was at the east part of the wall. Then they walk about 200 steps to their southeast. There, they saw the bridge not far from their location. But Yman and Ember were weirdly cautious as they walked closer to it.
When they arrived, they noticed that it was made of stone pavements. It was old and some leaks were visible on it.
”Did you notice also?” Yman asked.
”Yeah!” Said Ember while focusing his eyes ahead.
Yman was surprised. Even his 100 meters perception did not catch it. However, this person perceived it! Wait, wasn't Cinder's keen smelling unusable because of the mist? Then how come this guy perceived it?
Noticing the surprise of the person beside him, Ember grinned while brushing his nose using the back of his hand.
My smell was 2x better than my sister. And it could reach 150 meters away.
”.....”
Yman was surprised for two reasons. First was, he didn't expect for him to have such a sharp smelling ability. Second, he was surprised at how casually he told his capability to a potential enemy.
'Is this guy an idiot? Or perhaps, he is just easy to trust a person.' He didn't know which one this guy belonged to.
”I see, it's good for you to have a reliable sense of smell,” he replied.
”Fufu, in any case, those guys are planning some dirty tricks!”
Yman glanced in the front, he could perceive some silhouette ahead of them.
About 5 people, but weirdly, two of them were covered with strong magical power. Not just that, they were flying!
They rushed forward, but right after they arrived, they saw two beast-like creatures with dragon-like wings on their backs. Their faces and skins were similar to those of reptiles. And also, both were huge. Besides, each of them was carrying a huge chunk of rock.
(Flap! Flap! Flap! Flap!)
”W-Winged-man?” Yman subconsciously let out a word.
”No! That's a full-transformation Artefacts!”
”Wha-? Wasn't Artefacts for summoning a Spirit Beast?” But Yman realized that Ember used a partial transformation Artefact before.
”No! There are many types of Artefacts!”
”Wha—?”
(Woosh! Woosh!)
Yman wasn't able to finish his surprise as the two chunks of rocks were thrown at them. He shouted a warning while hopping at the back, ”Damn! Watch out!”
(Baaaaang!)
(Baaaaang!)
(Dum Dum Dum!!!)
(Russssssstle!!!)
The two of them hopped two times behind them and successfully evaded the attacks. However, the bride shook terribly like it was going to collapse at any moment.
(Criiisssssssh!) (Craasssssshh!)
Their feet skidded when landed. Yman used his hand to stop the slide. Ember, on the other hand, balanced himself.
”Guhehehe!!!”
”Ehehehehe!!!”
Two impish-laughters were heard by them.
”Hahahaha! Let's go!” Someone shouted.
On the other side of the bridge, they noticed 3 people.
