Chapter 234: Clean Up (1/2)

The boundless sky split apart as a massive figure flew at supersonic speeds through the thick ashen clouds, producing sonic booms as it speeds by. Flying monsters actively avoided this massive figure as it flew through the skies unhindered.

”I guess it doesn't need that many skills as a type of lesser dragon Huh.”

Tyler muttered to himself atop the Dark Shadow drake with vague interest as Erin clung tightly onto him with her eyes closed, actively trying not to think about what she was currently standing on.

He had decided to ride on the massive dragon-like creature's back to the castle due of a variety of reasons even though he know all too well how Erin felt about being close to the undead.

To be fair, he had offered to send Erin back via teleportation but she had refused. She could've also left by herself with her source return skill.

She had insisted on accompanying him to the very end as his chosen escort even against her fears towards the undead. She had bravely climbed atop this one but her resolves had failed her as she couldn't even keep her eyes open and was clinging tightly to him.

His reason for choosing this method of travel over the others was to experience the max speed of the Drake. Besides, just the idea of riding a dragon even if it was only a lesser one was trilling enough that he couldn't resist.

Before leaving the Farbelt Pass, he had manipulated the fate of the event to unfold there. If he did it correctly, at least one Hunter was now destined to survive and report back to the city Lord as well as the Merchant and Hunter Guild Leaders.

Perhaps his unplanned involvement would complicate the issue even more but the basis of his plan should still be viable. The trip back to the Darknar region's Greyad plains took less than 6 hours on Drago and they met the Azure Dragonflies busily being overworked by Tarka who didn't seem to like them to begin with.

The miners he had sent here earlier had been given a tent to camp in and they were being well taken care of. In only a few hours, Darren and Gerl had gotten the Kobolds to perform way faster than they had been up to this point.

The layout for the future city was being constructed. It seems they wanted to set up the roads before designing any actual buildings. They had even designated a place where the red River could be diverted and made to flow through the city.

The red River was a filthy place but with Erin's new abilities, purifying the entire River shouldn't be a problem. Although he may have to clear out all the monsters living in there first.

As he thought of what to do next, Tyler noticed Loriel and Tarka had broken into a fierce argument about something trivial. There was no real animosity between them but they just can't seem to get out of each other's way.

Tyler sighed inwardly and decided not to interfere with those two. They should be able to figure it out soon as neither of them would willingly cause him trouble. He then left Drago with the settlement as he tasked his newly named Drake with the Town's area defenses.

He would also be able to protect the weak Dragonflies from flying beasts and his presence alone should deter many potential threats just as it had done on their flight here. This was the king of the pass after all.

Having completed his task here, Tyler decided to take his leave. He had planned on returning to the castle so he could practice some martial arts moves and learn some secret techniques.

However, he quickly changed his mind as he decided he would clean up the Red River immediately. Allowing the dwarves to get everything over with.

Seeing as he was fixing things today even though nothing had gone as planned, he decided he would do this simple job so as to cap the day off with a clean win.

Teleporting with Erin to the Red River, Tyler asked Uriel about the length of the River and was surprised. The Red River crossed the entire Darknar region which was larger than multiple large countries from earth.

Choosing not to give up, Tyler decided he would attempt on clearing out the monsters in the River in one go and if that didn't work, he could then try doing it section by section.

This was the middle of winter and the temperature was in the negative even though Tyler's body was naturally regulated by his mana and now Uriel. Still, it was almost as cold ad the attic, and yet the Red River had never been frozen even once.

Although the water right now was incredibly cold, it was still in its liquid state without any signs of ice. The reason for this was the thousands of monsters living in the River.

There were now aquatic monsters living in the River after their rapid evolution over the years. Their combined body temperature was enough to keep the water liquid and some of them even had skills that heat the water around them at the perfect temperature for their survival.
