59 The Twin Witches (2/2)

”It would seem that he's some sort of demon like entity, that she's trapped in this gigantic forest. He can move about a bit but his main body is in the specified location, called the demonic ridge,” she added.

Locasta had finished braiding her long hair and smiled at me.

”We don't know where any of the other teams are either, but we should be prepared that they will probably attack us,” Locasta spoke as she rubbed the back of her neck.

I nod my head and slip Wit's hand into my own.

”For now we should move towards the Fruit of a Thousand Tongues, the sooner we find it and the more that we can gather the better off we are, plus we'll have to do something when it turns to night,” I mutter.

”Indeed, Bav lead the way I'll watch the rear. We should only be a mile or so away right?” Locasta says as she twists her head looking at the surroundings.

It hadn't turned quite which means that the animals in the forest hadn't been spoked so that was a good thing.

”Sure,” Bavmorda says with a shrug as she slips by me and moves to the front and begins to walk through the forest.

It's densely packed with all manner of strange and wild plants. I follow behind her and we begin our trek through the forest.

At another part of the forest not too far from the four, another group was making their way towards the fruit of a thousand tongues. It was the group of ten from the knight's of the goddess, they moved easily through the forest drawing the ire of monsters and beast alike.

Although they were quickly slewed as the party moved forward like a well-oiled machine, the man, Landon, walked in the middle of the people. A bored look on his face as he scanned the map, planning the route that he'd take to victory, he wanted nothing more than that monster that the Dryad had been offered.

He's met with an oracle a bit ago and she'd said that he should head to this world and compete in this mini-game, plus those two idiots had said that they could smell the trace of one of the people that they were searching for.

Hopefully, they'd either perish here or he'd kill them. Either way, he'd kill any woman that he'd come across, all in the name of his Goddess. A look of insanity crossed his features as he remembered seeing the Goddess in the flesh, she was beautiful.

The sound of laughter rang out through the forest as he continued forward.

He just hoped that those two would do their job and clean up the field for him, he felt like it was beneath of him to waste time on the woman... but he'd take the glory of the kill and rank up and be one step closer to his dream of becoming the Pope.
