"Why did you accept the Porter's assignment, MyLord? I am sure we have no one stronger than you in this area. It is not fitting that you are needed like this. I will teach them a lesson."Loki did not accept his master being used as an errand boy by the Adventurer's Guild administrator. Loki wanted Fenrir to be treated like a king. "No, Loki. This is much better. I don't want us to attract too much attention. I've told you several times, we don't know who is friend and who is foe here."Fenrir did not want to let his guard down. Fenrir always remembered Silya's first lesson. There was no one they could trust one hundred percent in the land they had just visited. That was proven in Fenrir's journey with the bearclaw Guild adventurers. One of the people they trusted betrayed them and caused all the adventurers to die, leaving only the three of them. "Shouldn't you guys suspect me too?"Mercia's words were not immediately answered by Fenrir. Actually, Mercia's words had a point. They h
When Fenrir and Loki had left the settlement, Loki immediately turned into a wolf and ran south. Loki could not find Mercia's scent trail at all. The strong wind and sandy surface made the odor trail wash away. All Fenrir and Loki knew was that Mercia was heading south. For the time being, they could only rely on that information. They would think about it afterward. Fenrir hoped they could catch up with Mercia before the person following Mercia did something. Not long after, Loki saw a land that was quite different from the desert they had been traveling through. There was an irregular arrangement of rocks that towered quite high. "Let's go there, Loki. Let's look from a higher altitude. We might see Mercia's whereabouts from there.""Yes, MyLord."Loki immediately ran towards the hill they had been observing. The hill was higher than the surrounding area, so it was the best place to observe from above. It only took a few seconds for Loki to reach the barren hill. Fenrir stood
"Where exactly are you going, Mercia? There is only desert ahead."The overheated Loki began to complain to Mercia for not knowing the direction they were heading. The land in front of them was only a vast desert and there was no sign of a land inhabited by humans. "I told you before, I want to go alone, why are you following me?""Lord Fenrir told me the reason. What more reason do you want to hear?"Loki and Mercia argued like children. Fenrir who sat behind Mercia could only shake his head. Fenrir sat behind Mercia so that it would be easier for Mercia to give directions to Loki and at the same time Fenrir did not want Mercia to fall again from Loki's body like before. "Just walk straight and don't ask too many questions.""You can sit comfortably on my back, while my feet are hot from the desert sand."Loki's position on Fenrir and Mercia's back made him the only one who had to tread on the hot desert sand. This made Loki constantly complain. "Alright, I can also go alone. I d
The appointed day arrived. Fenrir, Mercia and Loki arrived early to make sure they didn't miss the group. Fenrir also wanted to make sure what kind of party they would join. Some of the luggage from the guild had already begun to appear there. There was also a long-necked and humped animal tied to the arid trees where beside it were some items that the animal would carry. Fenrir fetched water from a lake stream. The water was channeled through several small rivers to the settlement. The water of the lake called mazzam is said to have never dried up from ancient times. And the water was clear without the slightest dirt in it because the city government guarded every side of the lake so that no one would deliberately pollute it. After a while, one by one the adventurers who would join the party began to arrive. Fenrir observed them one by one with RA's magic eyes. From Fenrir's observation he knew that there was more than one B rank adventurer in their party. And there was even one r
"Everyone listen to my orders, the rank C adventurers who are porters continue cutting meat here and make shelter as soon as they are done. There will be a desert storm coming here soon. While the rank C adventurers healer and Tanker come with me to the front line with the rank B adventurers. We will fight the monsters ahead."Everyone who was there carefully listened to the orders from Ramones. They all realized there was danger lurking ahead. Immediately the adventurers prepared themselves according to the directions given by Ramones. Most of the adventurers went with Ramones to the front lines, the rest continued to cut the flesh of the desert lizards as soon as possible including Fenrir and his friends. "Mercia, lend me your cloak.""Which cloak?""The robe you got from your ancestor's tomb.""What for?""Already, please just lend it to me."Fenrir half forcefully borrowed the cloak Mercia had. Mercia, who was cutting meat, couldn't help but open the equipment she was carrying an
After walking through the sandstorm, Fenrir finally made it out of the storm. When Fenrir came out, the first sight he saw was the battle between Ramones' army and a giant desert monster. Judging by its size and shape, this monster fit Mercia's description of a desert dragon. At about four meters tall and seven meters long, it was indeed one of the giants of the desert land. But Fenrir realized the size of this dragon was still relatively small when compared to the description Mercia had given. Fenrir assumed that the desert dragon was still young. But its strength could not be underestimated. The tough skin and terrifying sandstorm power made this young dragon a walking disaster. The shape of the desert dragon was slightly different from most dragons Fenrir had encountered. Starting from Severine, Seiryu and Shen long, desert dragons resemble desert lizards more than dragons themselves. With four stumpy legs with long claws, the head is shaped like a snake with a long tongue stic
It did not take long for Fenrir to reach Loki and Mercia's place, as he no longer needed to sneak around like before. Quite different from when he left earlier, the desert he traveled through was now much calmer without any sandstorms. There was only heat and a slight desert breeze that made him feel a little hot. When the distance with Loki and Mercia's group was already close in spirit, Fenrir immediately dispelled the wind magic he used to run. Fenrir did not want his magic trail to raise suspicion even though his body was invisible. "I'm back."Fenrir whispered in Mercia's ear shortly after arriving. Mercia was quite surprised by that. Mercia who had almost fallen asleep from the exhaustion of cutting desert lizard meat was startled by Fenrir's arrival. "Where are you? Quickly take off that cloak. I can't see you, Fenrir."Mercia was quite annoyed with Fenrir who came suddenly without showing her form. "I'm here.""Uh..."Fenrir opened her hood slightly and showed only a littl
Up ahead, after the desert sand mist had subsided a bit, Fenrir could clearly see Ramones who was fighting with a desert dragon that was much larger than the desert dragons Ramones had defeated before."Aaaaakh ....""Attack ...!""Watch out, be careful with that desert dragon, or else we'll lose ourselves!"The sounds of shouts and groans could be heard coming from the direction of the unequal battle between the Ramones troops and the desert dragon, many Ramones troops had already fallen and then collapsed one by one.While standing where they were, Fenrir, Mercia and Loki just stared and watched what Ramones and his troops were doing."It'll be a while before Ramones is exhausted and defeated, Fenrir."Mercia who was observing the battle gave her response. "That's right, this battle is very much unbalanced! That desert naha, its strength must be many times greater than the previous desert dragon which was much smaller in size."Fenrir responded to Mercia's words with a gaze that re
