Chapter 115: Dakan Fores
115 Dakan Fores
After two days flying at high speed. Alex finally arrived at the Dakan Forest. He spent all his time flying, that's why he can arrive so fast. He only stops for a while to recover his mana. As soon as he recovered, he immediately started flying again.
"Hmm, This is Dakan Forest? The tree was even higher than the ones in the Death Forest. If the trees in the territories after this was even higher. Then, I know why if I fly in here, they will consider me as an enemy."
"Whatever, Let's go"
"Wuu"
All this time, Sherry lazying around on his head. Alex didn't mind it though. The human and fox duo continue their journey to the forest. Of course, Alex didn't fly anymore. He continues on the ground.
He running for about two hours. But something is bugging him.
"Sherry. We haven't found any monster, right?"
"Wuu" Sherry also nodded.
"Usually, a neutral area like this. There will be many monsters reside in it. Though I'm thankful that I didn't need to fight any monster. But, I also can't get any gacha tickets"
"Wuu Wuu?" She didn't know what is gacha tickets in Alex's mouth, but she still consoled him.
"That's right, our purpose this time is the Divine City. Not that"
Alex starts running, but when he just about to run. Suddenly Sherry taps his head. "Sherry?"
"Wuu Wuu(Master, That way)" She pointed out a direction.
"Why? Aren't we supposed to go that way?" Alex pointed out another direction.
"Wuu Wuu" Sherry seems to be adamant about this. "Wuu Wuu"
"Alright alright. Let us check"
"Wuu" Sherry nodded happily.
He runs for a few minutes before he heard a voice.
…
In the dense forest. Two beautiful women are running away desperately. One of them has black hair, a beautiful face coupled with a nice body. The other one is also a beauty with a nice body. Her hair is silver, but the most noticeable thing that can be seen from her is her long pointed ears. The one with black hair is injured.
Behind them, there are five men. They are chasing the two women.
"Hehe, The human with black hair is very beautiful. But the silver-haired elf was on another level. Her face, her body… If it's not a job. I really want to play with them" One of the men said with a vulgar smile.
"O'Wind Sprites, Heed my command and blow my enemy away" The elf chanted wind magic. A tornado charged toward the men. But the men dodged it easily.
"O'Wind Sprites, Heed my command and blow my enemy away" The black-haired girl also chanted the same magic. But the same as her, she can't hit any men.
"Haha, You can't hit us with that puny magic. We are at least a rank 5 warrior while you two only a puny rank 3 magician. Just give up. You two will be big money. Oh, no, The black-haired one won't become money. Since she will be played by me."
"You…Vulgar"
"Princess, Don't listen to him. Princess, Please go and leave me behind. Without you, I will die at that night, because you help me that night, I can still alive this well. Let me help you" The black-haired woman said.
"No, How can you say that. I won't accept it…Ayaka"
"Hehe, so this one is an elven princess. But the other one is Ayaka. What a weird name, I have heard that the hero companion, the sage also called Ayaka. She is still missing. Don't tell me you are here? Haha, What a haul. One is an elven princess and one is a sage. You can't escape. Our men already surrounded this place"
"What?" The princess was surprised. She saw another five men approached them from the front. They were surrounded.
"Hehe, now you can't escape. Just be obedient" One of the men who seem to be their leader approached the two women. "Now that I see you. You are really that elven princess. If I recall, your name is Lilia."
"Don't call my name with that vulgar mouth" The elven princess glared at him hatefully.
"Oh, it seems I am right" The man approached the elven princess. Ayaka immediately went between them.
"No, don't you dare to touch her" Ayaka cast another magic. "O'Wind Sprites, Heed my voice and obliterate my enemy. Wind Chaser"
A few tridents made by pure wind condensed. It immediately flew toward the man. But the man dodges it skillfully and arrived in front of Ayaka and punch her on her face.
"Ayaka" Ayaka was blown away, her face was bruised. Blood flowing on her mouth.
"Oi Boss, Don't hurt her face. It will ruin our fun later"
"Haha, Sorry sorry. I feel that she won't go down unless I did that. Grab her"
One of the men went forward and grabbed Ayaka. Ayaka also revolted but to no avail. Their physical difference was too big. "Don't touch me. Princess, hurry up and run."
"Haha, It's futile. You can't go anywhere. Can't you realize your situation?"
"Ayaka, I'm sorry. I was curious about the outside world, you warned me but I didn't listen to you. Sorry to implicate you in this"
"No, This is my own will"
The boss approached the princess. When he just about to grab her, Suddenly something heavy pinned him to the ground.
…
Alex who followed Sherry's lead, keep running until he heard. "Can't you realize your situation?"
He frowned. He approached the sound silently. He saw two beautiful women surrounded by ten men. He was surprised to see a silver-haired beauty with long pointed ears. But the most surprising is the other woman, black hair to her waist, the familiar face that makes him nostalgic. It was Ayaka Saya, The Sage. He confused, why is she here in this forest? Especially, why is she with an elf?
He continued observing the situation. "Three rank 6 warriors and seven rank 5 warriors"
Should he help? Should he not?
"Wuu Wuu (Let's help them, Master)"
Alex pondered for a moment. "Alright. They are slave traders anyway. I don't really like them"
"Sherry, you see that guy? The one in front of the silver-haired girl, Pinned him down. I think he is the boss. We might be able to get information from him. I will kill the rest"
"Wuu" Sherry nodded, she jumps off from Alex's head. And suddenly, her body grown. She grew until she reached one meter high. This is the same form as when she met Alex. It seems that this form is her battle form(?)
"Alright. Now!" They jumped off at the same time.
…
"No, don't you dare to touch Princess" Ayaka struggled.
The boss approached the princess. When he just about to grab her, Suddenly something heavy pinned him to the ground. It was a fox.
"What?" Everyone in the scene were shocked.
The boss tried to get up but to no avail. Sherry pinned him down.
"You Monster" The man who grabs Ayaka startled.
"You call my partner a monster, you need to die" Alex beheaded his head. He then used his hand to force Ayaka's mouth open and force a pill into her mouth. When the pill got inside her mouth, it immediately melted and the pain on her face suddenly disappeared. Ayaka saw the face who save her. She was shocked beyond belief. "You…"
Alex ignored her, this wasn't the time for that.
"You brat! How dare you kill my comrade. A brat trying to become a hero. You are not qualified. Men, kill him"
Alex was a bit annoyed. "Sherry, shut him up"
"Wuu" Sherry nodded. She pushed her palm to the boss's head to the ground, making him kissed the ground.
The other men charged toward Alex. Alex disappeared. "Eight left"
"Where is he?" The slave traders flustered when they saw Alex disappeared.
The moment he appeared, another head flying. "Seven left"
"What? Kill him, hurry"
Alex disappeared again, He utilizes his speed, Boost Step, and Flast Step. His speed now wasn't visible by a mere rank 5 warrior, even a rank 6 warrior can only barely see his shadow.
Another head flying once again. "Six left"
"Kill this fox first. I can move after that"
The other men followed his order and went toward Sherry.
"Spin Throwing"
"Sanguin Sword Art. Seventh Slash"
Two attacks came from Alex. One of the slave traders got their head pierced with Alex's spear and another one was split to half.
"Wuu" Sherry raised her paws. She imitates Alex's Fire Claw. A big paw made by fire appeared as an extension of her hand. It immediately pushed two of the slave traders to the ground and crushed them to death.
"What?" The last two were startled at how easy their comrades were killed. Alex took this chance to kill the last two.
"Done" He then walked toward the boss. At this time, the princess was finally snapped from her daze. She immediately went toward Ayaka. "Ayaka, are you alright?"
"Yes, Princess." The bruise in her face was no more. The princess was relieved to see that.
Alex on the other hand still focuses on the boss. "You seem to be their boss. Alright, as usual, give me information before I start torturing you"
"You won't ever receive any information from my mouth. Ptui" He spit on Alex's face.
Sherry was furious. She pushed his head to the ground with her paw.
Alex used his fire to burn the spit. He immediately channels his fire to the boss's hand. "Just give me the information. Who do you work for? How many are you? Or anything"
Alex didn't have any motivation to extract any information from this guy. Since this wasn't his primary purpose. If he gets them then it's okay, if not…can't be helped then.
"As I said, you won't get any information from me"
"can't be helped then" Alex placed his hand on top of the boss's head. Suddenly a few symbols appeared on his head. "You like to play with women right? I will let you"
"Wha-" The boss was startled before he went to silence.
In a minute, foam suddenly appeared on his mouth, it becomes bigger and bigger. Until he died. No one present except Alex knows what he did or how he kills the boss. But judging from the situation, it seems the boss got a painful death.
"Well, I'm done. Sherry, Let's continue our journey"
"Wuu" Sherry nodded, she shrank again to her small form and sat on Alex's head again.
Suddenly a voice can be heard from his back. "Wait, you…you…are Alexander, right?"
