42 The Beautiful Warrior! (1/2)
”I thought that maybe since this mission was offered to every single guild within the city, that there would possibly be a large number of warriors, but I haven't come across anyone yet!” Leo thought to himself as he was getting closer and closer to the spider's cave.
Within the mission's overview, Leo could tell that it was handed out as early as twenty years ago and the rewards were not cheap either. Something seemed very off to him, but he kept heading forward. With his strength and a new top of the line weapon, how could some measly spiders threaten him?
At this rate, he would be able to arrive towards the cave before nighttime began. What was frustrating to Leo, was that this so-called cave that was the home of all these spiders was too far away from the city. This was the third day of him traveling at his full speed and he was only now about to arrive to his destination.
Though it took so long to travel, Leo even had to admit to himself that the sightseeing was unbelievable. Looking around, he could only think of a single word; beautiful.
”The noise is incredible, so may insects, birds and other creatures all harmonizing together. It is almost as if time itself has no meaning in these parts, and I am only but a single person surrounded by all that nature has to offer.”
”It is like being dropped far out into the ocean, but it is not blue that I am submerged in, rather a million different parts of green that are formed together to cause such a scene. I want to continue on, but at the same time, I just want to remain here in this spot and doze off.”
Leo thought to himself as he slowly stopped moving forward and slowed his steps. Now sitting down, he casually pulled out a piece of meat and chomped on it without a care in the world.
”That kid hasn't sensed my presence yet, but I have been following him for several miles now with no luck. Maybe I should just leave him be for now and hunt someone else?” a woman in a green robe thought to herself as she kept her distance from Leo.
This woman looked extremely vicious, but her beauty was unmatched by others. With her lime green eyes, and a slimy tongue, this woman was clearly from the snake race. She would slowly hunt humans and other creatures within this area to feed herself in order to continue increasing her strength.
Due to this woman being from the snake tribe yet having a similar body to those of humans, it could be said that she was of a more noble bloodline within the snake race. If that was the case, why would a noble be wandering around an area alone in the middle of the day hunting?
Finally deciding that Leo was more trouble than he was worth eating, this woman retreated as her illusion spell was released, freeing Leo. However, Leo felt that his mood change was because he was hungry and did not realize it. He casually stood back up as he continued making his way over to that cave full of spiders.
