YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 408: A Strange Beast

KHIIEEEEKKK KRRKK KRRRK THUD

A pained shriek and a bloody battlefield. The sound of bellows and thuds resounded in the air and the forest was filled with the strong stench of bloom, the forest grounds dyed red with the blood of many creatures.

They fell one after another, their lives ending in a flash and their eyes turning white as they were greeted by death, mercilessly taking them away. The winds swept past them and they vanished into thin air, mere fragments of light drifting away.

All that were left were gemstones and weapons, and a couple items that are fairly easy to obtain. It was an utter and complete massacre, done only by a few figures, hovering in the air as they fired their magic.

CLING CLING CLING BOOOOMMMMM

The sound of soft chimes rang out like a sweet symphony in the forest. An explosion of flames soon followed, and the forest was dyed red and orange. Shrieks once again echoed in the verdant paradise, pillars of smoke rising towards the sky.

There weren't just flames, but massive boulders, sharp chunks of ice, and also some lashing, poisonous vines as well. A barrage or death and chaos ensued, monsters eradicated one after another, soft chimes still ringing about.

KHIIIEEEEEKK THUD THUD THUD

The last of the ogres fell, peace and quiet returning to the forest. Their bodies soon shattered into brilliant fragments and the winds carried them away. Only a number of drops remained, a couple craters and broken trees here and there.

"Master... Mistress... Done... Win..." ［Scheat］

"Un! You did a good job, everyone! That was a good show!" ［Yuna］

CLING CLING CLING CLING

It has been a couple of days since Grey and Yuna arrived at Arihal, and ever since then, they have been adapting to life there pretty quickly, exploring and doing quests to spend their days, experiencing something familiar in a foreign place.

Now, they are on a quest to defeat some ogres infesting the nearby forest, but rather than do the quest themselves, they tasked the spirits to do it and hone their abilities and skills while they're at it, training once more.

As for Grey and Yuna, they simply went around picking new herbs and some magic plants as well, harvesting new materials they've never seen before. It was a paradise with new flora and fauna, brimming with goodness and excitement.

"Is there anyone hurt? Just line up so we can heal you." ［Yuna］

"No... Hurt... Mistress... Fine... Perfect..." ［Algenib］

"Same... Me... Good... Well..." ［Alpheratz］

Grey and Yuna also wanted to try some high-ranking quests, but wanting to avoid all sorts of troublesome situations, the two of them could only use their alternate guild cards. They don't want their identities to be exposed, after all.

It was a new continent, and as it seems, their tales have yet to reach the people of Vartes. Other than the guild where they use their alternate identities, Grey and Yuna don't have to call one another by other names, free as can be.

The only one who somewhat knew of their identity was none other than the Tarllagan resting itself by the river. And as it seems, it has yet to tell anybody about who they were, not a single person inviting them for tiring formalities. It was the good days.

They wanted to see the Tarllagan and thank it for the other day, but ever since the day they've arrived, they've never seen it again. According to the locals, it only shows up once a week, so they could only give up on the thought.
