Chapter 218 - Blood Knives (1/2)

”Shall we go then?” Solitary Tempest said as she summoned her Hell Flame Horse and quickly jumped on its back.

”Dang it!” Michael couldn't help but curse when his eyes laid upon the humongous Hell Flame Horse, as he couldn't help but feel envious every time he sees it.

”Arodan~!”

Aran snorted in haughtiness as it jumped up and started dangling from Michael's left shoulder, and the Hell Flame Horse who heard it shivered for a bit as it took a couple of steps back away from Michael.

”Hey!” Solitary Tempest yelled in anger at Michael.

”It wasn't me” Michael shrugged his shoulders and also summoned his old mount.

After that, the three of them continued their journey on the road.

”How long till we arrive there?” Solitary Tempest asked as she turned towards Michael.

Michael didn't immediately answer her and instead took out a map from his [Storage] space.

”The sun had just risen, and if we continue traveling in this speed, then we'll reach the nearest border town before or just after nightfall, but if we meet a lot of monsters along the way then we'll be forced to camp out for the night on the side of the road again and we would only reach our destination by sunrise the next day”

Michael said after looking at the map.

Hearing him, Solitary Tempest glanced at Michael's mount and said, ”We would have already arrived there already if not for a certain someone having a common grade mount that could be bought at any city”

Michael glared at her and said, ”How about you give me some gold then so I could buy a better mount, huh?”

”Are you high? Why should I? You must be a poor bloke” Solitary Tempest snorted in disdain.

'Why do these two always argue?' Viper looked at the two people in front of him with confusion plastered on his face as he couldn't understand why the two of them always act like they are the bigger as*hole than the other person.

”Do you two not even sleep at all?” Viper suddenly butted in.

”Aren't you also staying up late?” Michael snorted while raising an eyebrow.

”And that question of yours came out of nowhere” Solitary Tempest rolled her eyes at Viper.

'Damn, now I get why Michael is so damn annoyed by this woman. The expressions on her face that she gives you are really annoying as f*ck!' Viper cursed inside and decided to ignore the two for now as he deemed that these two people are great at giving someone stress.

An hour into their journey, and as the three of them were passing through a path filled with shrubbery.

Multiple shadows suddenly jumped out from the thick shrubbery at the side of the road and landed at least fifteen meters in front of them.

Roar!

”Humans! Delicious Humans!”

”Human meat!”

The creatures in front of them are a group of lizardmen, who were basically muscular reptiles that walk in two legs, who held a shield in one hand and swung a blade or spear in the other.

”Kill humans, and eat human meat!”

The lizardmen quickly charged towards them with their brandished weapons as they madly yelled with hunger in their eyes.

”Finally!”

Viper laughed like a maniac, and quickly took out his crossbow from his back and jumped from his mount and charged towards the charging group of lizardmen as he passed by Michael and Solitary Tempest.

”Yaahh!” Michael yelled angrily as he also got down from his mount and quickly followed behind Viper.

”The heck are these two being excited for? They are just a bunch of Lizardmen” Solitary Tempest just shook her head and decided to just let the two of them handle this group of monsters blocking their way.

Michael's figure turned illusory and disappeared like smoke before he reappeared behind a surprised Lizardman.
