Chapter 334 The Expediton Into The Forest Begins
While Ray and Reggie introduced themselves to each other, the head nurse had called some people over from the fight against the elves to help her with expedition to the forest. The people she had called were teammates from Nia’s team as they were in better condition than most and their powers would be useful in the expedition.
The expedition team consisted of twenty people in total, including the head nurse. Their purpose was to head inside the forest and find the cause of the strange behavior shown by the beasts and not just that but also to nip the problem from its root.
“Kim!” The head nurse called out as she handed the girl a small parchment that had some instruction written over it, “Take these to Ray and be with him, you wont be coming with us,”
“What do you mean?” Asked Kim as she really wished to go for the expedition as it was the best place for her to utilize her ability to the max and help out everyone as much she could.
“You understand what i mean and you wont be asking anymore questions or else I’m going to forcefully keep you out of the expedition. So the best thing will be if you listen to what I have to say,” Saying those words, the head nurse looked into Kim’s eyes with a grave expression and motioned her to go. 𝓷𝐎𝑣𝐞𝓁𝗇𝗲xt.𝑐𝓞𝕞
Kim nodded reluctantly as she knew that the head nurse wasn’t joking and an order was an order. Therefore, taking the parchment and keeping it safe with her, she walked back while the head nurse turned around and commanded everyone with her to move into the forest.
Her team consisted of many different individuals whose powers and abilities were compatible with not only one another but also suited perfectly for the forest and its environment.
The most important member of her team was perhaps Zest. She had taken him as her right hand and the reason he was most important according to her was his ability to make multiple copies of himself while those copies also copied his equipment and had almost the same strength as Zest. Not just that but in the following time, Zest had gotten stronger and had recently broken into the Magical Realm. This had not only made him stronger but also allowed him to wield a certain amount of elemental affinity and even increased the number of clones he could conjure.
All in all, Zest was an all rounder whom if given the right atmosphere could easily take down multiple opponents on the same level as his and even take down stronger opponents if lucky enough.
Other than Zest, Noelle was also there. She had caught the head nurse’s eyes after the dungeon mission and had been training with her ever since and that allowed her strength to grow exponentially not only in the healing department but also her battle prowess had grown by leaps and bounds.
Also, she had called another person just now and it was for her everyone was waiting, “How much time till she arrives?” Asked a guy in annoyance as he had been waiting in the same place for half an hour now. On his shoulder was a heavy two handed axe and he had been itching to go into battle for quite some time now but because of the dammed woman they were waiting for, he wasn’t able to go and fight.
“Man just wait a bit, she will be here,” The person next to him spoke as he tried to calm down his mate.
“I just don’t get why we are waiting for her, just how important can she even be?” He asked as he let his axe fall to the floor and sat down on the floor in waiting.
As for the person they were waiting for, it was Kashish. The previous battle albeit being taxing on her hadn’t left her with any serious injuries to speak of as she had mostly used her plants and seeds and fought from a distance.
Also, the forest was her natural battlefield and therefore, the head nurse had contacted Ray through the telepathic connection he had shared with his trusted ones and through that connection she had asked him to send Kashish for the expedition.
Ray had obviously agreed but he told the head nurse that she would not be simply joining the expedition as a part of the team but she had to be the vice leader of the team and knowing Ray, the head nurse had to agree. And if one had to ask the head nurse, she would be lying if she said that she didn’t doubt Ray but Ray had been appointed by the dean and till now he had worked things up with his strange decisions so she simply let him be.
A few moments later, Kashish had arrived but she wasn’t alone. Along with her, Ray had sent one of the most important people on his team. Not according to strength but according to him. To Ray, Aella was one of the most important people on the whole planet as she was not just his or part of his team but she was his family and many would ask if she was this important to him, why would he send her to such a dangerous expedition.
Well it was exactly this that he sent her. She wasn’t a kid and was probably stronger than most of the people participating in the expedition and Ray had asked her to participate because he knew she had an affinity to the nature element due to a part of elven blood in her that he had observed during her breakthrough to the Magical Realm and he also wanted her to refine her strength and get used to fighting against multiple enemies without his support. Also, she would act as support for Kashish as Ray had noticed that she went along pretty well with Kashish.
“She’s here,” The man besides the guy with the axe spoke as he saw a woman approach the head nurse along with another woman.
“Finally, we will get some action at last,” The man with the axe spoke as he tried to have a look at how the woman they were waiting for. After all, he was curious to know who she was but wasn’t able to have a look because soon after, the expedition had started and they had found out that the woman would be their vice leader. Hence, the man had to comply with the orders and would have to keep his curiosity in check till then.
The whole team of twenty plus people moved forward with their weapons in their hands. Some held swords, some had bows while some had axes and spears. All in all, it was a balanced team that moved with coordinated movements as they kept their formation in check.
Also, the team had twenty members or so but the total people entering the forest were more than that and that was due to the clones that Zest had created. His clones circled around the formation and proved them support from back, don’t and the sides.
In short, one could say that the team was most well equipped to fight against the enemies in the conditions they were heading into despite the fact that they didn’t have their home advantage anymore.
“Group up everyone, i sense some movement forward,” The head nurse spoke as she received the signal from the spy ahead. The spy had told her that a small group of beasts was heading deeper into the forest.
Everyone did as told and huddled closer while they walked with their spells and attacks ready at hand. In the meanwhile, Kashish walked around the forest leisurely. Her steps were silent were her figure moved through the trees as if she was some sort of phantom blessed by the forest itself. She was constantly spreading her seeds around the forest and slowly providing the wit mana as they grew into the soil and sensed the surroundings through those saplings.
Perhaps it was Kashish whose powers were most versatile while in a forest due to her exceptional affinity to the environment and he great powers granted to her due to her royal blood.
It wasn’t only Kashish who was happy while in the forest, it was same for Aella as ever since she had entered the forest, she had felt her body energized and refreshed. It seemed as if she hadn’t fought any battle prior to entering the forest and that as if she had entered into the embrace of as over one.
If someone were to see the elemental energy around Aella, they would notice the elemental a man of the forest and the will of the forest swirling around her body and refreshing her every second. It was the benefit of having links to the elven bloodline as elves were gifted by nature itself and currently Aella was experiencing that gift.
