Chapter 47: Variant Nest (2/2)

"That's a stunning view, gotta' say," said Dynamite Girl as she looked out the frontThere were canyons standing hundreds of meters tall carved out into the Dead Zone This was the power of Vanguard, a e how maps were drawn

Of course, it helped this whole landscaping project that Vanguard's opponent Megalodon had been a hundred-iant craters just by falling

"This landscape was not carved by ti apart rock little by little over thousands of years," said Fler'Gan "It was carved by battle"

"This is what the strongest Alters can do," said Aldrich

"Their power nears that of the Gods thees formed and felled Destruction of this scale is possible only with a spell of the ninth or tenth circle"

"Yes, and we are far, far froht now," said Aldrich "Take this as a reot out of the car and looked down at his Eye-Phone Specifically, Fisk's phone Fisk had given it to Aldrich with all infor not only their locations and appearances but also the type of Variants seen in thee of the canyon and looked down at a steep, hundred plus rowth of twisted black branches and rock jutting out like a tumor about halfway down below

That was the first of two Variant Nests The other one should have been very close by, but Aldrich could not see it, even with a thorough AC scan and zoo Fisk's visor The last time information about these two nests had been updated on the AA database had been six h time for a nest to have faded away for any number of reasons Sometimes Variants simply left their nests, sometimes an earthquake bust it apart, so strike hit it, whatever

At the very least, Aldrich did not feel particularly worried that one of two nests were gone In fact, it just made it easier to decide which nest to take on

Aldrich waved his hand and casted [Create Greater Undead] He chose to create another Grave Ward

[-10 HP]

[-10 Mana]

[HP: 99/99 ] 89/99]

[Mana: 183/183 ] 173/183]

[Units Controlled: 18/22 ] 19/22]

When the three eye balled undead formed, Aldrich sent it down to scout the nest to make sure there were no surprises

Aldrich snapped his fingers and the Alloywing Eagle by his side He hopped on

"Valera, get on Neither of us can fly," said Aldrich He pointed at Dynamite Girl and Fler'Gan "And you two, fly down Don't want to weigh the eagle down too much"

"Got it, captain," said Dynaan to float in the air for he knew the [Flight] spell

Aldrich watched Fler'Gan fly and wondered whether it was possible for the Mind-Eater scholar to devise a way to teach Aldrich the useful spell After all, it was said that in the game lore that scholars of the Arcanist Order recorded and created spell tole's back

The eagle squawked in protest at the sudden weight increase, especially considering Valera's heavy full plate ar what I think you are ile with a blood chilling sle shi+vered and put its head down Seeing that, Valera nodded before nervously looking at Aldrich

"What is it?" said Aldrich

"M-le, of course!" said Valera

"It's a ten second flight down-," began Aldrich before he saw Valera looking at hiht"

Valera squealed in delight as she wrapped her ar his breath out of him
