After Mex left with the girls, I turned back to Lani, and she looked frustrated. I couldn't blame her, and I felt the same way, so I needed to try and mend some of this.
The problem was that I didn't have any kind of Totems that would help me out with something like this. The Magic that I could control right now was only suitable for fighting, for the most part.
I still activated my Fire Force Pact and Water Sphinx Totem. These two could help me start drawing in Magic and think better while being more aware of my surroundings.
"What can I help you with? I am not much of a builder, but you were saying that you are having problems. What kind of problems are they, and how can I help to fix them?" I asked and then added, "I normally would have been a lot more friendly, but I had a violent exchange with Lidy this morning, and I was worried about her."
"Lidy? You didn't give her what she wanted? And what does it matter? She is just a Demon, and you didn't kill
Lani's body started to grow and fill out, but not significantly. She was now beautiful, but she looked barely eighteen, and it was hard to believe that she was Nushi's older sister.I could see why she kept herself in the body of an old woman. I was sure that she must have had trouble with all the villagers with a cute face like hers."See, this is what I look like, a child. No one respects me like this! They either try talking to me like I am a child, or they ignore what I say, and then I have to punish them!" Lani said as I still held her hands, but I could feel her starting to shake."I understand, but I think that you look beautiful like this, and I wished you didn't need to transform like this. I will still treat you the same no matter how you look, but you need to start treating me as an equal then. Mex has given me his position of Lord of this area, and while I may not be as strong as your father, I can still hold my own if you hadn't noticed," I said wit
Lani looked at me a bit shocked, but I turned back to the table and pointed to the village's east side. Lani came over to the table and gasped; the strike time was some were around this time, which would be lunch.My observation skills from my Water Sphinx Totem were on full torque; being constantly fed by the Fire Force Pact, I spotted a sundial on the front deck. It was about ten mins before the Strike time, but we could make it there without a problem.The problem was that I couldn't read the notes that were under the time. I was slowly starting to piece the language together, but I would need a good hour of grilling Lani about the letters and words."We can make it there, but I need to know what I am going to be dealing with so I can make a plan," I said as I turned and looked down at Lani, who looked worried."This is the Behmonth attack, but they didn't come yesterday. That means th
I was tempted to change my Pact and Totem, but at the same time, it might be better to wait. Whatever these things were, Kali was worried that we were going to have trouble with them.I walked forward with Kali mirroring me, and the forest started to get darker. All the light was being blocked out by the trees that hung overhead, but even being as tall as I was, didn't make it easier.Once we were roughly about the area that I had seen the eyes, I put up a hand to stop Kali. There was no point in going any further, and if we did, then we wouldn't be able to catch one if it tried to go around."I don't see them anywhere, and they are nearly as big as us!" Kali said as she looked around, but I was studying the ground.This world was full of so many strange things. More than once, Grovel had surprised me with an attack from below.I studied the ground ahead of us, and at first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the area. Nothing, no massive
As the head disappeared into the forest, I turned around as I started to head back to the village. I think that I was almost ready to fight a Demon Lord, and Neft would be a good tester before I danced with Dao.Still, I needed to go and find Lani, there were other spots on the map, and Neft said he wouldn't be back till tomorrow. While he could be lying, I didn't think so, which meant that whatever was coming today would still come.I changed to my Wind Force Pact and Water Sphinx Totem and shrunk down as I ran but picked up speed fast. After getting out of the forest, I went for a jog around the village until I spotted Kali and whistled to her.That got her attention, and I went to meet up with her. We were on the beachside of the village, and Kali confirmed that there were no other behemoths."Did you see Lani, the little old light blue lady running around?" I asked after Kali reported to me, and she nodded her head yes."Yes, I talked to her an
I walked back to Lani's house, and she was waiting for us at the door, tapping her foot. That meant that something must be coming soon.I picked up my pace, and so did Kali, and we followed Lani back into the house."There is an attack coming from the beach in about fifteen minutes, but there will be another attack from the Gnolls to the west where you came in," Lani explained as we walked into the room that had the table."I don't think they will be as likely to attack after I just killed the ten that were chasing me," I said with a chuckle, but Lani shook her head."No, they are stupid creatures that survive from raiding other people rather than finding their own food! They don't care how many die because they reproduce like that Gog girl you had with you!" Lani said in frustration as she ran her hands through her hair.Well, this was going to make a bit of a pickle, but with Kali, I might not have that much trouble. The question was, what was co
"Okay, we have about seven minutes, but I think we should get going. Once you are done,. I want you to come back here and wait for me with Lani. Lani, if you don't mind, I would like you to go with Kali and watch her back. I am sure that you are more than strong enough to deal with a Gnoll or two, but don't take any risks," I explained to the girls after we got back outside."Yes, I can go with her, but are you sure that you don't want any help from us? The Mutalisks are vicious creatures, and we almost always lose a person when they attack," Lani told me with a worried expression on her face, but I smiled.I had gotten robbed with the Behemoths, so now I was excited for a chance to do some real no holds barred fighting. If these were mindless creatures with only one goal, then I would have no trouble cracking down on them."Don't worry about him. Kazz might not look like much, but he is a vicious fighter. You and I will deal with these, but Kazz will probably b
I stood at the water, just back from where the waves touched, and racked my mind. What could I do to keep this hoard of monsters from just running over this entire village?Going into the water was an absolute no-go now, but the path was far too broad, even on the beach. I was going to have to figure it out quickly, but I wasn't really sure what I could do.<Summon the Primals that you are not using right now. They can help you create some kind of funnel and help you kill them.>I hadn't even thought about summoning them! While I could only tap into certain parts right now, the other three could use their elemental powers to help.Thanks, Hero! That was a great suggestion; I have to remember to ask you when I get stuck.<I mean, that is literally what I am here for, and what I have been telling you this entire time!>Don't get your panties in a knot; I am slowly getting it.<No, a tree grows slowly. Don't insult the tre
I stepped out of the corridor and looked to either side at the massive tan stone walls Grogvel had raised. Now they would be forced to only attack me and not get to the village. Still, there was something that was bothering me."Wataluga, do you know why they aren't attacking yet?" I asked one of the many copies of him on the beach.There wasn't much to him because there were about twenty of him spread across the beach. Soon, Wataluga would make a barrier to block the view of the oncoming Mutalisks, but not until I fell back.I wanted to try and hold the beach area for as long as I could before falling back. While it was more dangerous out in the open, I would be able to expand and attack them with all of my abilities."He is waiting for you to signal that you are ready," Wataluga said with a soft voice, and I turned to focus on him."Signal? Why would he be waiting for a signal?" I asked because I was beyond was perplexed by this.What was
