133 Into the wastelands (1/2)
Two figures were highlighted by the rising sun. One a half draconian woman who was dressed completley in black. She had a cowboy hat on her head, and a cigarette in her mouth. The other was a bone dragon that hovered to her right. In front of them was an endless expanse of what could only be called wastelands.
The area was was mostly flat, but large rocks jutted up from the ground at irregular intervals. The areas of land that were not infested with the large boulders were filled with small rocks and poisonous plants that had large needles. Yuri knew from experience that these plants could fire their needles like missiles. The poison they injected into you was paralytic, which would leave you completely open to the surprisingly large and intricate root system of the plants.
This was not a pleasant environment in the slightest, and unfortunately the entire area around the ruins of Skyhigh city was the same. You would have to travel through this god forsaken land to reach any other area. And god forsaken it was. In the temple of the goddess of war Yuri could sense a faint residue of the Goddess's presence, but no matter how hard she tried to communicate with the Goddess there was no response.
She sighed as she looked at the desolate land in front of her. She was looking north, as this was the direction her companions had left in five years ago. She had no idea if this direction was correct, but it was the only clue she had.
”I think it would be better if we were to fly over this area Yuri” Lucifer finally said, the endless silence of the wasteland causing him to attempt conversation.
Yuri thought for a moment, but finally rejected the idea. ”We do not know how long the enviornment goes on like this. If we used your size alteration ability it would consume all of our mana, and even if I used the effects of Masochism to recover my mana we wouldn't be able to do anything else. It is best if we just travel through the wastelands on foot.”
Lucifer nodded at her words, he knew the risks as well, but the idea of traveling through the area for such a long period of time was not something he wanted to do. He let out a sigh, with it a small cloud of Venomous vapor was emitted into the air.
”Then I guess we had better get going. It would be best if both of us were on guard against those needlers though.”
Yuri nodded at the words of the baby dragon. As a dragon even in an infant form his wisdom was much higher than any human. If one only listened to his words one would easily forget he was a child.
Yuri looked towards the wasteland as she summoned a short sword in either hand. The swords were weightless, having been formed of compressed mana into the shape of a short sword. These weapons were one of four that she was able to wield. On either one of her hips was a pistol, and on her back was a large bastard sword. The last of her weapons were the claws that were on her hands and feet.
Each of the weapons were weapons she was proficient in. The pistols were the weapons she was most proficient in, and by far her most reliable weapons. One of the pistols was a legendary item that had been passed down to her by her now deceased mother. Because of this the pistols were the weapon she was most attached to.
