Dragon King's Harem Chapter 55. Crepuscur
As we just took auns at the temporarily stable, Jyne spoke again."Um ... I know it's inappropriate, but ... May I --- ride yaun?" she said iation.
I frowned since she was quite demanding for someone I just met. But sideriatus as a princess and since what she knew I was a oner, I guessed maybe that's what made her want to ride alone. Moreover, my Yegaun was indeed different from Evelina and Eir's."Are you sure you don't want to ride with Evelina?" She should be more fortable with it, while Eir and I could take care of the mohat get in our way.
Jyuro Evelina briefly before shaking her head.
I sighed."Very well." My Yegaun was well traio obey my and Eir's orders, so even if she tried to run away with it, with one whistle my Yegaun would e bae. My hand patted the side of my mount's head casually and my eyes looked at him as if giving him a and without a sound. It was quite weird, but to unicate with our mount or tamed monster we could do it in three ways, gestures such as pats and simple movements, whistling and eye gaze.
"Krrrrrr!" he growled in a lower voice as if he uood my and to him.
"Good boy," I plimented him. I just turned around and walked towards Evelina, but Jyne caught my hand and made me stop my steps.
"I-I mean I want to share a Yegaun with you," she crified her request.
I frowned again."You want to share a Yegaun with me?" I repeated in a disbelief tone sihought I heard her wrongly.
"Yes ..."
My eyes moved to the side in fusion. While Eir and Evelina also did the same thing."If you are afraid to ride alone, why don't you let my wife apany you?"
"I don't know her yet," she reasoned. Actually, since Jyne knew Argod was married and she didn't want to take him from Evelina, she decided to end her short love story with sweet memories. Who knew her first love would wither at their first meeting and not as beautifully as the books.
Although I was quite fused by her request, judging by her pn to marry me to escape her arranged marriage, I thought she had another pn behind this. But with my status as king, no matter what her pn was, it wouldn't affect me."I'll allow you if my wife doesn't mind it." Even though I could take this decision by myself and retty sure Evelina wouldn't object to this, I wao show that Jyne had to respect Evelina.
Jyuro Evelina in doubt since she wasn't sure Evelina would allow it. They were oners, not nobles. Evelina would probably think that Jyne was trying to snatch Argod from her." I share a Yegaun with your husband, m-ma'am?" she said in the same hesitation and flushed face."I don't mean to take your husband from you, I just feel more fortable with someone I know. Besides, I promise it's only until we get ton Cross City," she added quickly.
"I don't mind it," said Evelina in fusion. Jyne's presence alone fused her and Eir. Coupled with Jyne's attitude. Meanwhile, she retty sure Argod hadn't told her his true identity since he hadn't celled Al's Tonic of Camoufge. But she decided to follod's py and find out why after they arrived at the Pace ter.
"Thank you," said Jyh a smile.
After that, we got on our mounts and headed towards the city gates.
-------
Nearly an hour had passed, the two evening suns were almost setting on the western horizon and the sky above us grew darker. The sound of fast footsteps broke the silen the meadow several kilometres fron Cross City. The three Yegauns ran fast across the short meadow with several trees and boulders iween.
My eyes looked around me as I tio spur my Yegaun. We had at least killed more than ten monsters after we left Warmbell Town, but luckily those were low-level monsters, so it didn't really matter to us. While Jy in front of me to prevent her from falling. Her hands held the saddle tight as she kept her bance. Carpet of shrass covered our path and everything looked fine, but my Dragon Vision caught some monsters stalking us and ready to attack us anytime. In the forest not far from either side of us, some monsters shaped like headless deers on the size of two adult elephants ran after us. Even though it was a little dark because of the dim sunlight, I could see their bck fur with some faint white stripes clearly.
[Name: Headless Bck Deer][Level 46][Type: Formless][Element: Shadow][Speed: Normal][HP: 648/648][Mana: 186/186][ATK: 378][M.ATK: 67][DEF: 130][Skills: Energy Sug, Mana Drain, Haunt]
'This is bad ...' I thought. They were crepuscur mohat only appeared at dawn and dusk, the time where the Shadow element Mana reached its greatest power. Sihey did not have a head and mouth, they ate by sug their prey's life energy and Mana, turning their victims into pale corpses.
I raised my hand and moved it iwo dires towards the monsters, telling Eir and Evelina to prepare to attack them. While my attention remained on the front.
'Adrenaline Surge! Dragon Armor! 'I used my skills sihey were getting closer to us, I guessed they would attack us anytime soon. While Evelina also used her skills on me.
[Evelina Lavinia Iaoth gave you Power Boost!][Your ATK and MATK have increased by 100%][Evelina Lavinia Iaoth gave you Accelerate!][Your SPD has increased by 100%]
[Adrenaline Surge has been activated.][Dragon Armor has been activated.][Power Boost has been activated.][Accelerate has been activated.]
[ATK: 305 + 153+ 305][M.ATK: 305 + 153 + 305][DEF: 120 + 60][SPD: 120 + 60 +120][Time remaining: 14:56]
Meanwhile, Eir also used his Skin Armor and also got the same support skills as me from Evelina. Then Evelina pulled the reins in her hands, moved her mouween us. it was the usual healer position otlefield if the attack came from two different dires. The healer had to position herself in the safest pce or the farthest pce from the ehat's why they usually took the bae, but with our current situation, the safest position was in the middle of me and Eir since we acted as attackers. This was also why I asked Jyo ride with Evelina.
Eir took out his Fire Bolt. Dozens of short fire spikes emerged around him and prepared to attack. While Evelina prepared her Holy Beam. She possessed the Light element Mana which was the monster's weakness so she could kill them easily with this.
'Bzing Orb.' Forty-six of my fme orbs appeared around me, preparing to attack the monsters.
Seeing that we were ready to fight, Jyne looked fused since she didn't know what to do. Unlike Evelina and Se who were used to following the real Argod, Jyne didn't know my fighting habits. That's why she couldn't cast her skills carelessly or she could mess up our attacks."What should I do to help you, Sir Ar?" she shouted.
"Hold on tight!" I said.
The monsters drew closer to us. But we couldn't attack them sihey were still in the forest. We couldn't attack them carelessly especially by using skills that could create light in the dark like this. Si could provoke the other mohat resided in that forest. So we had to wait for them to e out of it. Also, this was the reason why travellers avoid spending the night in the forest. They usually looked for open fields to build their tents. That was because they could detect the monster's presence more easily on the fields.
