55 Prepare for war (2/2)
The last creature was completely different from anything I had ever seen before. It was a humanoid female creature, but small sprouts could be seen growing out of it. The skin of the beast was a forest green, but most of it had wilted and become a decaying black color. small insects could be seen crawling over its flesh.
Hylia whispered in my mind. ”The creature resembles a Dyrad, but seems to have been corrupted by something. No self respecting dyrad would allow bugs to feed from its flesh like that.”
I nodded as I listened to her, and slowly backed out of the cave. Those three creatures were far to powerful for us to deal with. As I retreated I cast several modified versions of a particular spell.
When I was done I quickly escaped. When we had successfully left the cave I snapped my fingers. Detonating the hundreds of grenades I had left behind.
A flood of experience filled me, but it was not even enough to gain half a level. The experience was great for Hylia however as she shot directly to level 10. Her experience would have contained to rise if she had not met the maximum level. I continued to move in stealth as I ran towards the city. My bombs would not have been able to hurt those three creatures, and would have only delayed whatever plans they had for a short while.
I headed directly towards the guild hall when I returned to town. Thanks to my high agility the journey that would have once taken two days only took me around half a day. I recounted everything I had seen to my mother, explaining to her every event of relevance that had happened since I came her.
Her face turned pale as she listened, before going through several of the documents on her desk. Finally she pulled up a report. She eyed the report in horror as she mulled over my words. She did not say anything as she ran from the room.
We only had to wait for a few moments before she returned. Next to her was a man who seemed like he would be retiring soon. The man looked at us with discerning eyes and asked for us to repeat everything I had told my mother.
After I repeated the information yet again the man nodded and turned to my mother. ”Send a C rank team to verify the information. Mobilize every pair of D rank or higher. If what they say is true our city is in grave danger.”
The man looked bonus again. ”If your information is correct and we all manage to survive this you will be rewarded for your hard work. For now return to your home and prepare for war.”
