Chapter 58 - May I Have A Flying Monster As A Pet, Please?
When he opened his eyes again, after long minutes of silence, he was ready to start with the first pet. He knew those mages in front of him were much stronger than him and the others, that meant they would have, at least, three pets, if not four.
The highest monster from that battle was one horned monster, and thus he planned to equip everyone here with two monsters at first, then wait until he returned from the second feast to add one more pet to them, double horned or three horned at least.
As for himself, he had lost Zilia, and that meant he could obtain another pet. Don was good, but right now he was weaker than he needed. He was sure Don would grow up into one horned monster, or maybe two horned one, but that wouldn't occur now, not so soon.
The first monster he summoned was for the mage that came with Omar, it was an agile deer-like monster, with one horn on its head. Its body size wasn't that huge, but its legs were thick and long, that made his size doubt human size.
"This one is for you," Arthur said, before going to Omar as he took out a monster that was much like a rhinoceros. The monster seemed so dangerous, with a horn on its head, and another one extending just above its mouth. "And this is for you," Arthur said.
"Wow, two horned monsters, that's insane!" the mage who came with Omar exclaimed, with much envy. Arthur just glanced at him, then Omar, then the monster, as he didn't think there would be double horned monsters in this patch.
He then stopped in his place, searched inside his ring again. There were around thirty rhinoceros monsters like this one, which made him change all his prior plans. He returned to that mage place, waved his hand over the deer, to make it disappear, then another huge, violent looking rhinoceros appeared instead.
The expression on everyone here was funny, as they didn't expect for Arthur to wave a hand and then a huge brutal monster appeared out of thin air. What was shocking, though, was the monster itself. It was sitting in place, motionless, though its breaths alone were enough to make anyone looking it in the eye shudder.
Arthur then didn't need to hesitate anymore, as these monsters made him quite satisfied. He put a rhinoceros in front of everyone, making them all wonder how many rhinoceroses he already had.
"May I have that deer?" Clovert, who was the only archer here, asked. Arthur just chuckled, as he waved his hand once, and the deer disappeared, and then he waved it again, and a one horned, bird like monster appeared. It resembled a falcon, but with a huge body and huge wings.
"Oh my, it's a flying monster!" Omar was shocked this time, as he didn't expect to see a fling monster here.
""This would be the second person here to have a flying monster," Amelia said, as she winked her left eye to him. She knew how much he adored flying monsters, but he never ever dreamt of obtaining one before.
"May I also change mine into a flying monster?" he suddenly asked, loudly, as his men standing far behind murmured between themselves. It was a known fact how much Omar loved flying monsters.
Arthur just looked at him, and he was about to refuse. Omar was a swordsman, and such a profession was the exact opposite to the nature of the monster he was asking for. He already had a lot of flying monsters inside his ring, but he knew it would be a bad idea to agree on his proposal.
However, just as he was about to say no, he noticed Amelia, as she was making motions with her eyes to attract his attention.
"Please agree," she said, without any sound, using lips only, which seemed quite weird.
"Ok," Arthur, unwillingly said, shaking his head, "but not this time, when we return from the battle up ahead, I will make a flying monster be your pet."
Arthur thought he would be depressed by his reply, but the shocking thing was what he did, as he knelt on one knee, and swore:
"I will always be indebted to you with my life, forever."
Arthur just watched this sharp reaction silently, before he sighed and then retreated couple of steps to the back, while saying:
"It's time, start."
"Begin!"
All of them said in the same voice. Suddenly, all the blood on the ground, the blood on the rocks shone brightly, before a large shielding bubble appeared, covering everyone inside.
Just before anyone opened his mouth to ask about what was happening , this shield disappeared at once, like a bubble being burst, showing only the mages inside, with no monsters.
At the same time, everyone felt a tingling sensation on different parts of his or her body, where a new tattoo appeared, in the shape of the monster, to express the success of the process.
"There tattoos are the places these monsters reside inside your bodies, so don't be alarmed with them," Arthur spoke, a cheerful tone, before adding, "now, all of you retreat, except for Amelia, Clovert, and Gregory, you will have another round of pets."
His words made every single one here turn to glance, with much envy, at the three of them, who just chuckled, feeling the advantage of joining the group early than others.
As Arthur resumed arranging the ground, Ouly had the others help and their monsters to pave the way. With the addition of the new members and their huge pets, taking trees off was now a piece of cake process.
Everything went smoothly as ever, while Lily was flying on the sky to monitor the place, and Clovert had planned to join her in the mission of surveillance she was doing.
Omar, amidst all this, took out so many bird wings and then they burnt and disappeared. Arthur noticed his actions and just laughed to himself. He was sure after seeing and experiencing the special treat he was giving whoever joined him, and the huge difference in growing each person's strength.
Arthur continued to work, while Amelia was having a little chat with Omar, asking him about whom he sent these bird wings to.. After she knew about them, she felt the decision she took from before, to be part of this group, was really a wise decision where luck played a great role in.
