Once I was outside with Beeno, I picked up the pace and started to glide across the terrain. It was a lot different traveling across the island now.
It felt more like a casual stroll rather than traveling across an island filled with dangerous monsters.
[That’s because you are the most dangerous monster on the island right now. I honestly question if the monsters could even rampage now with just how strong that you have become. If you spent a week meditating, you could fill up your energy reserves. everything on the island would be eating out of the palm of your hand.]
‘Not really what we want, but my presence should help keep the other monsters on the ocean at bay. I am curious to see what the Demons want to do.’
[Do you think that they will want to come with you?]
‘Not very likely.. From the sounds of it, Doa was told to leave and never come back. I would guess that it was meant for everyone with him, so I can’t see them wanting to go back to that.’
[Fair point, but you also have the Gogs, and you will need to check up on the Sahuagin and Barracuda folk. I don’t have to tell you about Tiga and her father, but you have tomorrow set aside for that already.]
I was getting closer to the massive group of Demons, but there was no way that I could count them all. It was like a sea of presence and energy; I could even feel the different classes.
[Stop trying to feel them all; I am working on a way to separate them with your system. I will integrate your senses into the map, and you will be able to just use your map to identify the things and creatures in the area.]
That would be extremely helpful in the future. For now, there was no reason for me to have all the extra info about each demon.
The forest broke, and I glided up to the entrance to a deep gorge that was packed with Demons. This would be a bit of a struggle to make my way to the middle of everyone.
*Grogvel: Take to the walls, and glide along with them; just don’t go by any loose boulders. That is unless you are trying to thin out the Demons on your way over?*
*Fireden: There are quite a few of them, but I think they are fine; I just hope they don’t all want to come. If that happens, then a culling might be in order.*
*Wataluga: What is wrong with you two? These people have been under the rule of a tyrant this entire time, and now you sound just as bad as him!*
*Blaza: I like the Rock’s plan.*
‘Wait, what?’
Was that the voice of the giant Fire Elemental from Kubrick?
[Yes, I linked both of Mex’s Dark Elementals into the ERTCG.]
I shook my head. This was going to turn into a super toxic chat block with the two Dark Elements in there.
*Maelstrom: I don’t think you should kill them like that.*
Oh boy, here we go.
*Maelstrom: You should just kill them all.*
*Wataluga: What is wrong with you?! How are we of the same element?*
I groaned and glided up onto the wall as the chat bubbles streamed by in the corner of my vision. They were starting to go at each other now, but I just ignored them and watched where I was going.
I looked down over the river of Demons that were all looking at me with curious and confused looks. That was to be expected since I hadn’t really given them anything to go on.
Most of the women wore dresses, while others wore no more than aprons or smocks. The men wore shorts or shorts with aprons, but a few didn’t have anything on.
“These are all deficient level Demons down there; I can only sense one close to me. Whoever she is, the Demoness is linked to others and isn’t that strong on her own,” Beeno said as she looked up ahead, but I slowed down as I noticed two caves.
[This is where it all started.]
I was just gliding over Jilly cave, and up ahead was the cave from which I had entered this world. In my reality, six days had passed since then, but it felt longer.
Jilly had changed, and I noticed that she did have a softer side but hid it. To think that she had tried to kill me numerous times, but things still turned out good in the end.
Ahead was where I met my little drooling snake-fish and the three-headed pups. Now, it was filled with demons, and to my surprise, other monsters like Rock Trolls and Behemoths.
[Looks like everyone wanted to come and see what the fuss is all about.]
That wasn’t an understatement in the least bit, but as I slid down the wall with Beeno in my arms, the crowd made way. Everyone moved back to make a path to the open area where the girls and Grandmothers were all waiting with Mex and Candace.
Everyone looked excited to see me, and when I finally got over to everyone, they tried to rush me.
“Wait! Let me get over there first and put Beeno down, and then lift us up!” I called, causing all of them to stop, halting the wave.
I slid up into the center of everyone and then leaned down to kiss Beeno’s forehead before putting her down. She blushed and then ran over to where Hydie and Nushi were standing.
I grinned and strained up, but Jilly’s face was waiting for me.
“You took your sweet time, but you are much different now. I can see you are bigger than me, but I feel like a little girl beside you now,” Jilly said with a strangely warm voice that gave me shivers.
[Your monster dominance seems to have also gotten stronger. :winkingface:... nope just thought I would try, hehe.]
