Chapter 10: ATTACK ON CARRIAGE



It's been five days since we started our journey from Samhar where I was born to the capital. Now, we are one day away from the Syler forest and 4 days away from the capital.

'Let's see where the route is of that beast's egg.'

Then I closed my eyes and started concentrating to find the route of the egg. As I started concentrating and imagining about that cave where the egg was kept. As I imagined the cave I learned the memory of the route which led the way to the cave. Then even after opening my eyes, I can tell the location and direction of the path like I already had been there several times. 

I thought 'The egg is deep in the middle of the forest now I know that but that area is about near the center. I have already decided that I will go there when I am strong enough. So, there is to worry about.'

We stop before entering Syler forest to get an early night's sleep because tomorrow could happen anything at any time we don't know because we are going to enter the forest tomorrow morning. It will take us till noon to cross the forest. 

In the morning everybody starts being prepared like they are going to hunt. Father said, "Don't worry rayon we just have to cross the outer part of the forest. In this part, only small low-level monster comes and also it's rare to see even them in this region." Even my father had a hint of fear in his voice who was recognized as the most powerful adventure among the thunderstorm party.

I thought 'Even this is the outer part of the forest which is considered the safest part made A-Rank adventure fear. How much scarier is this forest?'

After that, we get inside the carriage to cross the syler forest. We were just a few kilometers away from the forest now but there was no sign of life.

Then after some time, we could see a tall tree of around two hundred meters the height of normal trees and some were even nearly two hundred tall and a thin route in between those long hills-like trees. It was like green hills were in front of us. As we entered the Forest we were barely able to see anything in front of us the trees were blocking the path of the lighting. As we went inside the forest was becoming darker and darker inside as it was devouring us. Then Oliver said, "It sure lives up to his nickname Unearthly Aberration Forest."

They did not show fear to me but every single one was feared inside. They started making random jokes to avoid the horrifying forest. Suddenly a loud sound started coming from the forest. It was the sound of the roaring of a beast.

As they listen to the sound everybody takes their weapon for the attack but the voice stops coming from the forest. The voice came from deep inside the forest.

Mother said, "We just entered the forest sometime ago then why does the beast's roar come this early."

Father said, "Yeah I was also not expecting this. It is too early. Whatever we should move faster without talking."

Then we started moving forward no one spoke a single word after that. As we were going the forest was becoming horrifying. Then we again heard the same roar. This time was not one but more. As we were moving forward the roar was becoming terrifying. Suddenly a low-rank beast came in front of our route. It looked like a fox but had two tails and it looked like it was running from something powerful beast. My father and all the members of the party also came to know that.

Then Velcor suddenly jumped on the beast and stabbed the beast instantly and made a grin on his face like now nothing was going to happen. He came back in the carriage and said, "I think there are only low-level beasts roaring."

My father said, "It looks like something is wrong with this forest today. Remember when we last time came here it had no sign of any beast at this place so we had to go deep inside the forest for beast hunting. We have to get out of here as soon as possible and I can sense some C and B-rank beasts near us."

Everybody nodded in agreement. As soon as my father said that my mother hugged me tightly and said, "Don't worry dear nothing is going to happen we all are powerful here to take various A-rank beasts, and even Low-rank Rank beasts come here rarely so it should be a single C-rank beast which was chasing them and came further outside of the forest.

Everyone agreed with Mother. But Father was not telling something to me. Because everyone has become a little pale after killing that beast. 

I thought 'Is there A rank beast or above.'

After some time I could also feel a sudden change in the atmospheric aura which was too intense. Suddenly Father ordered, "Move faster than this." Velcor said, "We are already at our full speed and the movbeasts are also looking like they are tired. We can't go any further faster than this right now."

The beast's presence was becoming stronger and stronger as we were moving forward. We know that a powerful beast is chasing us and moving faster than us. Suddenly after some time, Father ordered Velcor to stop the carriage but movbeast were terrified of the presence so it took Velcor too much effort to stop them finally. 

After when we stopped the beast's roar came it was too loud that the carriage swift a little forward with only the roar. 

Suddenly a fifty-meter-long beast came in front of us he had two upper limbs and standing on four legs ending with a sharp claw enough to kill a person with one step. It looked like a centaur but had two heads and each head had a pointed snout and the saliva was dropping from their mouth. It was looking scary. 

Everybody was frozen for a minute by seeing that hungry beast.
