Chapter 96 To Help! (1/2)

Next day I was woken up by Rhea before dawn as we made our preparation to leave.

After freshening up, we ate the leftovers of last night and by the time we were ready to leave, the sky had brightened a little at the dark.

This is yet another day to walk, including today we have to walk for three days to reach the Scind forest.

''Cheeew!” Ashlyn chirped as she flew in the air, if not for this early morning and temperature is still not high, she wouldn't have come out of me.

She would fly mostly for an hour before it became too hot for her flight, she will integrate with me.

I am currently listening to popular songs which I brought month ago to pass the time, I wouldn't have listened to such loud music if not for Ashlyn keeping watch from above.

If any monster did come, Ashlyn will spot it with her birds-eye view and will inform me immediately.

'Unh!' I stopped on my tracks and turned off the music as felt vibration under my feet.

Looking at the vibration, there seems to be only one monster but that monster is big.

''Thud!” 'Growl!” A big sandworm monster comes out of sand directly in front of us.

I quickly activated my boots and swiftly retreated from the monster as it is initial level Corporal Grade monster which is way above my league.

Rhea didn't wait for my retreat and directly went for the monster while activating her broad sword midway.

And looking at her speed, she is definitely using the skill from the start, this monster dead.

”Growl!” the monster growl and instinctively felt a premonition of death as he tries to burrow back to sand but before it does that, rhea already reached it and attacked.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!” Three consecutive booms rang out as rhea attack monsters with three consecutive strikes if the skill.

When the sand is cleared, I found rhea is removing the core of the monster and monster had been cut into three pieces.

”Bam!” Ashlyn released a series of the fireball from above after rhea was done removing core.

The corps of monster started to burn after Ashlyn series of fireballs fell on it.

I and Rhea both don't like the meat of the earthworm monster seeing how ugly it is and also there is that nauseous smell of earthworm minster emits after dying.

We didn't take a single look at the monster and started to walk as this had become a common occurrence.

Whenever we come across any monster, especially Corporal Grade monster, Rhea attacked it directly and after killing it and removing the core, I burn the monster's body and we move on.

We come across three or four times such occurrence daily, most of it the time it is single or two monsters but sometimes a group of the monster also attack.

That time four of us have to fight either to fend off or kill the group of monsters.

Sometime later, Ashlyn integrated into me due to the temperature being too hot.

Walking in this intense heat, I sometimes wondered why humans can't integrate into a monster, that would have made my life much easier.

I would have force Ashlyn to fly in the heat for at least a half a day while I rest inside her, that would have been great.
