(Elayne’s POV)
As we found ourselves in the middle of the Fairy Kingdom, we quickly decided to move forward an aid them in battle, however, we were immediately throw with great challenges, as the guards wandering around immediately noticed our very noticeable appearances, which were very different than the citizens of this city. They all probably knew about me because the moment they saw me, magic spears were pointed my way. Damn it. 𝒷𝒹ℴ𝓿𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
“Hey! You! What are you doing outside of your cells?! Go back immediately!”
A group of guards which now included higher level knight fairies flew our way. They were all around Level 10 to Level 16! But their stats were vastly lower than us, and the strongest was the commander who was standing behind the dozens of guards and knights flying towards us.
“Damn it! More?!” Asked Rita, quickly realizing there were another group of guards noticing us from behind us, flying our way as well.
“Please let’s not fight! I want to help you defeat the snakes! Why are fairies so aggressive?!” I cried, as the fairies ignored me and began firing spells at us, fireballs, whirlwinds, and even stone bullets tarted being fired at us! Damn it!
“Spiritual Shield!”
FLASH!
I quickly conjured my Spiritual Shield to defend myself, putting myself in front of my tamed pets and summons, they were resilient but I didn’t wanted them to sustain any damage while we were going to the frontlines to kill the snakes. But seriously, why are fairies so annoyingly aggressive?! Did Lady Titania had to teach them to be so overly cautious? It is working against their favor now.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The magical attacks were powerful and the Spiritual Shield was able to shield me from some damage as long as I kept infusing MP, but it was clearly not really efficient. I wanted to hop in on Belle with Rita and get the hell out of here, but they were making it hard by raining us with magic.
“HYAAA!”
Suddenly, a fairy pushed forward, pointing a magic rapier at me and unleashing whirlwind of blazing flames, which spiraled directly towards me! Fire is my weakness; I can’t receive a direct hit or I’ll probably end up critically wounded. Also, killing NPC gives penalties to players and could even ban us from playing for weeks or months as I’ve read in the Forums, hurting them seems okay if it’s in self-defense, as Rita and I had done just now and were not punished.
I suppose the System is the one that decides if what we do is alright or not, it feels like the whole game system is always watching us over. Does it get entertained with seeing us struggle?!
“P-Please Land Spirits, come help me!!! Dragon Vein Detection, Land Spirit Call!!!”
BOOOOMMM!!!
The explosive spiraling flames hit me directly, however, an enormous wall of stone emerged before me, blocking the hit! The spirits came to help me! I suddenly saw several small Land Spirits rolling around us, protecting us from the magical hits by forming stone walls, amazing!
“W-What?! T-Those are Land Spirits?!”
“D-Did she just called forth the power of the Dragon Veins?”
“I always thought that only our lady, Queen Titania could do that!”
“Players are able to use the powers of the ancients, and are said to grow incredibly strong quickly, don’t falter, she was almost beaten anyways!”
“Stop firing at us! You know that if we die we can still revive back? You can’t just try to kill us!” I cried.
“We can kill you and then apprehend you after you revive! This is a method we created after we were tricked by that one Player! We won’t let you filthy Players get away with your trickery anymore!” The Fairy Commanding the squadron roared.
Ugh, if you weren’t so cute I would had thrown a Sunlight Spirit into your face!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
I continued summoning more Land Spirits while we ran away with Rita, jumping over Belle as she suddenly grew twice her size by infusing Mana into her own body, a new technique that Belle had learned, she was almost the same size as a bull!
“Come on, Belle! Let’s go to the gates of the city! Hurry!” I cried, as Belle immediately began to run across the floor, her powerful legs were so strong that they crushed through the dirt below and left enormous marks from her foot.
“MEEEEE!”
As Belle ran, the fairies around quickly flew away, quickly trying to get away from our path. There were gigantic bugs tamed by the fairies’ carrying things for them, but Belle jumped over them showcasing some amazing athletic performances!
“What is that thing?!”
“There’s no way that’s a Goat! That’s a white bull!”
“Idiot, that’s a giant goat!”
“That’s the one that got captured, what is she doing here?!”
“Guards, do your job! We are already getting attached by snakes!”
The citizens of the fairy city roared angrily, as the guards suddenly followed us from behind, we noticed that some were even sitting over giant flying bees named Regal Hornet Bees, wow! Maybe we can tame these for a better extract of honey than the normal bees I’ve got? But they’re a bit frightening, they’re as big as one meter.
BBZZZ!
“Huhhh, Planta! I think the bees are getting closer, they’re super fast!!!” Rita cried, pointing at the bees reaching us further and further. I had already conjured all the enhancement magic I could over Belle but she couldn’t hasten her speed. If only I could somehow control the wind!
…Wait! I’ve got stat points I have not designed, and also Skill Points… Can I summon a new Spirit to help us? I can only try and bet on it, not like I have another damn option, I don’t want to hurt the fairies so running away is the better of the two evils!
“Planta! You should be more than capable of using Level 4 Magic with your current MP, even more if you use your remaining Stat Points into it, go for it!” The Guide Spirit said.
“I already was going to do it! But thanks!”
