224 The Mysterious Blue Demon
—–
Faylen and Allan, alongside Shade and Nepheline had talked about it and discussed it, all four parents had reached the consensus that they won’t let their children fight against whatever is brewing in the jungle. Even if its just some pesky goblins at the end, they don’t want to risk their lives anymore. They have been letting them go explore around and kill monsters just so they can learn from it and gain experience, but now that things have become too serious for that, they wanted them to stay within the caravan and not fight.
They were children that were younger than ten years of age, it was insane to make them fight against Demon Lords or even an army of Green Skins, despite how strong they were, and despite how sometimes they were forced to fight, and despite how they even were trapped and had to fight a Demon Lord by themselves... that didn’t meant they would suddenly begin doing so.
Their parents didn’t wanted to make them suffer anymore and were going to use the strength they had accumulated over their years as Heroes to defeat any foe that were to dare step closer to them as they moved outside the jungle.
“I don’t want you children to go through these painful experiences... It is not something that kids your age should go through...” She sighed. “It was not normal that you had to fight a Demon Lord back then... I don’t want you to do it either, Sylphy... You’re staying with mama, let me handle everything.”
“Mother... Okay...” Sighed Sylph. Despite having lived a previous life where she had to survive and fight with everything she had, she was now a children again, and had a mother that only wanted her happiness. Despite how much she wanted to help them fight, she had to stay in the backlines.
“Let’s trust our parents, Sylphy.” Said Aquarina. “I am sure they’ll handle things out!” Aquarina tried to cheer Sylphy a bit, although Sylphy wasn’t sad because she won’t be able to fight, but she had a bad feeling about this entire thing.
“Ninhursag is also in the frontlines with everybody else, I’m sure they’ll be able to handle things as they come.” Said Zack. “After look! Your mother is even making an enormous barrier all around the moving caravan, isn’t that amazing? I didn’t even knew barriers could be shaped into such a form...”
Faylen had created a special tube-shaped barrier made of yellow light that covered everybody within the caravan, this powerful barrier was made using her incredibly strong magic, and was fueled directly with her Mana, and the spiritual energies of all her familiars as well. She didn’t ran out of Mana because her Mana regeneration as incredibly fast as she absorbed the energies from the environment to replenish it, and her mana pool was immense as well.
.....
“R-Right... I guess that’s right... Though it is sad we had to leave that barrier back there... Was it made by the Witch?” Wondered Sylph.
“Yes, it was made by our old friend, the Witch of the Blue Mountain.” Said Faylen. “I am not really as good as her at making barriers, but I can still make some pretty amazing ones if I put the energy and time into it.” Faylen felt prideful of herself despite admitting that somebody else was better than her.
“I-I see... Mother is really amazing to be able to make something like this.” Said Sylph. “I hope I can one day make something as incredible.”
“You will, dear, you’re already a very talented girl, we just need to wait some time and you’ll be able to make some amazing creations, amazing everybody.” Said Faylen. “We’ll teach you more in the Atlanta Continent- Ah, what’s wrong with your slime, Aquarina? It is making too much of a fuss now.”
Faylen pointed out at Pyuku who has been moving his tentacles around while crying, trying to tell everybody something but not being able to because he was incapable of speaking the common tongue.
“PYUUUUU!”
“W-What’s happening to you, Pyuku? You’ve gotten all annoying out of the sudden now!” Sighed Aquarina.
“PYUU!”
Suddenly, Pyuku touched Aquarina’s forehead, as Aquarina suddenly heard the voice of a young boy speaking into her mind! Out of nowhere, Pyuku began to speak to her through some sort of telepathy that only could be done between Master and Familiar!
“Aquarina! Bad! This is bad! Green skins! They are coming! Closer! Hurry! Prepare! Tell everybody!” Pyuku spoke with his little boy’s voice, surprising Aquarina, this was the first time that Pyuku actually spoke to her!
Aquarina’s eyes opened wide as she looked at the blue slime with surprise! She quickly realized that he somehow knew all of this, and wanted her to tell everybody else about it!
“Pyuku! He spoke to me through telepathy!” Said Aquarina.
“He did what?!” Asked Sylph in surprise. “He can speak?!”
“What did he said?” Asked Zack.
“H-He said that the green skins are coming closer, led by a blue skinned demon man!” Said Aquarina.
“So that was it...?!” Asked Faylen. “Blue skinned demon... So that was it! This man... I can’t believe he had a son...” Muttered Faylen, her mind moved incredibly quickly with many thoughts, she immediately found out the truth within mere seconds through her incredibly deduction abilities.
“But what demon, mother?” Asked Sylphy.
“A Demon... This demon is probably related, or maybe even the son of the demon that came here years ago... I think you might already know about the demon that settled in here and tried to find refugee, right? A Demon Lord with the power to control the Green Skin Race to his will... The one responsible for the death of Ninhursag’s family...” Said Faylen.
“What?!” Asked Zack in shock.
“We have to quickly tell the others...” Said Faylen, quickly using Telepathy and speaking to Allan, Shade, Nepheline, and Ninhursag!
“All of you, prepare for battle, the green skins are coming closer, led by... a blue-skinned demon.”
