Chris’ heart was still racing, unable to stop his uncontrolled breathing from that clash.
He’d really thought his throat would be slit, yet his body reacted quickly, enabling to parry the assailant’s weapon in time.
All thanks to Asron’s training, his reflexes kicked at the last minute.
He looks out into the small crevice between the trees. There were about twelve hooded people lying on the floor. He was sure he’d use as much sleeping pollen as he could, but not too high that it was going to kill.
When he saw they were no longer moving, he opens the dome that he set up, letting the light in again. He wanted to see who they were or where they were from.
To be safe, he orders the roots to take out their hoods, which instantly revealed horns on their forehead

“Damn, it’s another wizard!”Th assailants started scattering into the forest, finding cover, as the rain of fire continue to fall from the sky, turning everything it touches into cinders.“Are you all right, little one?”The fellow was now kneeling beside Chris, giving him a cleared view of the person in question. He had an orb of flames, levitating near him like some guardian. It was the ones who kept shooting those attacks at anything it sees.“Hemlock, what are you doing here?”He asks, a bit confused how and why that grand wizard was there, knowing that he was a busy and well-known in the city.That made the guy chuckle, his eyes almost closing from the amusement at what he said.
The Matriarch Chapter 57 An agreement
“I can’t believe it! It’s actually you, general Asron, the warrior who halted the Krads advancement ten years ago. You’re a legend, even among the mystic temple.”The wizard was all over their leader the moment he could join them. The group was now making their way through the forest, as it turned totally distorted after the little human’s attacks.The entire place has changed completely, not just the terrain, but also the flora. They were more alive and acting on their own, as branches and flower seem to gaze at them.But it seems only Asron, and the Cushar had taken notice of this, as their eyes kept taking glancing at the plants while their two companions were oblivious to the surroundings.“You have quite the mouth.”He just murmured, looking at the still sleeping human in his arm. Even if he notice

“What happened to the mercenaries that you’ve sent? Why haven’t they returned yet?”King Duseous slammed his fist on the side of his throne, causing it to crack. The drogan’s jaw tightened as there was no development of his orders.It had been weeks, but there have been no signs that they had done what he had ordered, making the royal frustrated.“Apologies, there is still no news, my king.”The right hand lowers his head, swallowing hard. There has not been an update from them in days, which was causing panic within their ranks.“How can it be so difficult to dispose of one measly little child?”Duseous was growing impatient. He could not remain calm, knowing that the drogan warrior had someone as
The Matriarch Chapter 59 Reprimanded
“Sorry if you have to watch over me. I know you really wanted to go with them.”Chris sighed as he grunted, putting all his frustrations in hitting the ground to break it. He was on farming duty today, and Asron clarified he could not use magic.And to make sure of that, they left him with a bodyguard as the warriors had to leave the village at that day.“It’s all right, those fellows who went after you were not normal. They were well trained. I’d rather not leave my human friend alone and unprotected.”Cortus chuckled. They put the guy in charge of watching over. As being one of the strongest in the village, together with the other two older fighters.“Thanks, by the way. Where did the others go to this time? I thought I saw them heading for t

“So, I really can’t go out of the village, can I?”Chris groaned as he slump on his table. He was in a barn house turned into a hut for the wizard. At the far end of the place.That day he was out into the mage’s care, as the others went on a hunting trip, leaving him to assist with whatever the person needed.“You’re adoptive father seems to be quite protective of you.”As Cushar had only arrived there, the only things that they were doing as of the moment were cleaning up the place and setting some of his stuff.“So, what will you be teaching me today?”Chris groaned. He thought that if he was going to stay there with the guy, might as well gather knowledge from him. It was the least he could do, considering that his time gets wasted.“

It was a quiet afternoon, and everybody was busy with their own duties in the village. They’d just secured a large prey, so everyone was helping with preparing the animal. The females were readying herbs and their pots for cooking and preserving, while the children ran around doing errands.Chris had managed to finish his sword lessons for the day, so he was hanging out with Cushar, continuing with his magical studies.All the while that this was happening, a large group had already started marching for the forest where the peaceful settlement was. The army comprised drogans loyal to the royal family, wanting to prove their mettle and strength.Among them was general Kerruf, and his three hundred powerful warriors at the ready. They gathered just near the border of the woods.“Sir, are you certain about this? We are talking about the hero Asron here.”
The Matriarch Chapter 62 Problems of that world
“Where are we going? I thought I’m not allowed to leave the village.”Chris yawned as he sat down on the carriage.They’ve been traveling for a few hours now, and memory serves him correct, the pathway they were moving on was heading out of the forest, which was connected to the road to the capital.“Asron wanted to see us. He says it’s urgent.”Cortus answers. His expression was full of life, with an excited glimmer in his eyes, all the while he was driving the carriage.Chris turns to Cushar, who was sitting on the other side of the wagon, but only received a shake of his head to say he too knows nothing, either.It was only after passing by the last river that they finally notice the caravan that had stopped by the road.“What’s going on?

The Matriarch Chapter 63 A foreboding truth
Chris could not help pondering at what was going on, no matter how many times they keep telling him it was not his fault. He felt he had somewhat caused the gears of war to turn.He did not realize that there’s been a civil conflict happening in those lands. All because he was so engrossed with his need to return home that he had completely disregarded what was occurring there.He no longer had the luxury of fooling around, gathering info and studying the place. He now needed to act, else he won’t be able to get out of there.“Cushar, what’s the king’s problem with Asron?”He asks, curious why they were currently in that predicament. Last time he remembers, the fellow was even asking for help from the capital, so it made little sense.“Oh, so t
