Worlds Best- Untouched (A SwordArt Online FanFiction)

Chapter 15

"Where have you been, and where did you get all of those horses?!" Asked Harry once we rode through the town gate.

"We met the queen of the Nala jungle elves.
They are a different type of elf to the ones that attacked us yesterday.
There friendly and we now have an alliance with there tribe.
They even gave us these horses as a gift.!" I said and Harry looked shocked.

"Weren't they mad at you for killing so many elves? Why would they make an alliance and give you horses?" Asked Harry really confused.

"Because they were at war with the elves we killed. We need to tell the entire town that hunting elves in this forest is now outlawed and will have harsh punishments for anyone caught attacking them."
I said as we made our way to the stables.

We now have 45 horses, and 31 of them have saddles.
The kid then left us and we were alone with Reece, Harry and I.

"Let's go back to the town hall, I found something in the mine that I want to show you." Reece said to Harry.

--------5 minutes later ----------

"Eggs? What type of eggs?" Asked Harry once Reece opened the chest. They are called moldering and are creatures made from what ever metal we found the chest in. Which was a black metal, I'm not sure how strong it is though.

Now, queen Lea said that we should only have one per person so we all should have a moldering each."
Reece said.
What!
"Reece you found them, they are your loot!" I said.

"Yeah but I can't use all 3 so I want you two to have one.

Ok so queen Lea said that we have to touch the eggs to hatch the molderings" Reece said before all three of us touched a egg each.

(Pet: moldering(shadow ore)

The eggs all started to hatch and when the shell fell off.... It was just a piece of the black metal that we found the chest in.

"Ahh, so how do we make it into an animal?" Asked Reece confused.

"She said that we can make it change form so let's try imagining an animal."
I said before I pictured the piece of metal turn into a baby tiger.
Slowly all three of molderings changed shape.
Mine a tiger cub, Harry's a eagle and Reece's a bear cub.

"That's so cool!" Said Reece and I bent down to pick up the moldering.
"Yeah!" The tiger moved in my hands like a real animal.
It was warm but really hard because the moldering is made from a metal called shadow ore.

"I'm going to go hunting, to see what this guy can do." I told the group before leaving the house.

I could take a horse, but it might get in the way, or get itself killed.
So I decided to hunt on foot.

--------5 minutes later -----------

The baby tiger was able to keep up, while I made my way through the jungle.

Skraee skraee!
The sound of monkeys filled the air as multiple creatures lung through the trees above me.

I picked up the moldering and started running in the same direction as the monkeys.

Killing a bunch of them will definitely get me a lot of XP.
I thought as I ran after the fast creatures.

Dam! I lost them.

Huff the sound came from behind me.

I turned around to see a giant gorilla charging towards me.

I managed to equip my shield just in time to block the gorillas first attack.
It once again tried to hit me with its right hand and I blocked it again, but this time I was ready.

I quickly at close range threw 3 knives into the gorillas stomach.
It screeched in pain and backed off.
It pulled out the knives and let them drop to the ground.

The three stab wounds were rapidly bleeding and I knew that eventually it will bleed out, but I don't have time to wait.

I threw another knife at the gorilla but I somehow dodged it and started running towards me.

"Moldering... Attack!" I shouted and the baby tiger started running towards the charging gorilla.
It didn't look good for the tiger but just before the two creatures collided, it grew bigger and bigger until it was big enough for me to ride on.

The gorilla started to panic and tried to stop but it's momentum pushed it into the jaws of my moldering.

(XP gained)(3 levels increased)

But I didn't kill the creature, my moldering did.
Maybe that's one of the differences between a tamed animal and a pet.

I walked over to the dead gorilla to collect its loot.

It's face is really torn up but the rest of its body is fine besides the cuts I did with my knives.

-gorilla skin.
- gorilla claws
- gorilla teeth
- 5 gold coins

I looked over at my moldering and it had reduced in size until it's the normal size for a tiger.

I walked over to the tiger and patted its head and it started to purr?

I heard more monkeys in the distance so I continued walking in the same direction.

"Man, molderings are cool!"
I said looking at the metal tiger walking next to me.
