*snort*
The moment that big catty snorted, it pushed back Felix, who was scared out of the shit. Even those beasts that were making noise behind it were mimicking a wind. From the look, they also hold their breath with their eyes reflecting a fear toward their leader.
Felix was sweating. His old body could not help his heart to pump the blood. If not for him being a 4th class swordsman, he might be died due to the shock.
*thumb*
Suddenly a shadow was seen, jumping out from the top of the Sky Hunter and quickly landing in front of Felix. This made Felix and his group was more shocked.
"@$$!SD!" When Felix was still in a state of shock, he could hear the beast was talking! He immediately regained back his sense and took a closer look at the beast.
Having a fin on its back like those Desert Lizards with its skin black similar to the human armor, and wings looked like Sky Hunter, clean and beautiful.
On the other hand, its face was vague for him as he could not find similarities from any beast. It was standing like humans, even talking, which meant his intelligence was not low.
But what the most important is, the strange beast was riding A rank, Sky Hunter! In addition, its overall appearance was so weird. It's like all of the beasts in beasts race mixed into one entity!
However, Felix suddenly realized. The more he looked at its face, the more he became fearful.
A dragon! A mighty creature that even enslaved and dominated the entire world back then! A Dragon Beast!
It had horns, but its mouth was a bit short when compared to the children's story. But Felix was sure it was indeed similar to the mighty Dragon beast.
Calming his breath, Felix then stood straight up posture while politely bowed his body, "I'm sorry, sir/madam. I cannot understand your language. "
The people behind him were speechless upon seeing their respected figure bowed to the strange-looking beast. However, no one dared to speak even when they were given money in front of mighty beasts.
They were not dumb either upon seeing this strange beast ride above the mighty A rank Sky Hunter! But still, witnessing how a human bowed to a beast made them feel weird.
A silence descended for a moment.
Felix was nervous. He kept bending his body while staring at the shadow on the ground. When he saw the shadow suddenly shrink, he slowly raised his head and was dumbfounded to find that the beast horde was gone.
"Sir! They leave us alone!" one of the subordinates shouted at him.
Felix immediately straightened up his body and witnessed the beasts were not for them!
"We are lucky to escape for now! " He spoke and let out a breath of relief. But he suddenly realized the direction where those beasts were heading." How many of you are having a family on the North Kingdom?!"
The moment Felix asked the rest of his subordinates, the sight of those beasts had gone. They should arrive at the first city, Helmfirth, with their speed around two days from now.
"I got nothing. I lived for my own after my sister was r*p*d by those villains."
"I have a wife to take care of, but she was hiding and disguised as a merchant after I notified him about my situation."
...
After hearing them, Felix could conclude. Most of his subordinates were living on their own while only a bit of them had a partner or relative to take care of.
"I'm sorry, guys, for those who had relative or wife to take care, unless you have Pegasus or a way to communicate with them, they are no hope for them being alive."
Felix's words shocked the people.
"What do you mean, Sir?! Is not a joke, right, cause I just become a father?!" One of them asked with trembling. Suddenly when he remembered where those beasts were heading, his face paled, and he immediately ran in that direction.
"Sir Felix, I'm sorry! I'm leaving, guys. May fate would bring us back together!" that guy had run with his body enhancement. Leaving a cloud of dust and the thorns planted on his back to the ground.
The moment one person left, the other followed it—one by one from fifty reduced into only thirty men. The rest of the men looked sadden to their comrades' departure.
For them, although they said they would meet again in the future, there is no way for them to survive among those fierce and scary-looking beasts.
They knew the meaning of their comrades' words. Their comrades were trying to tell them to keep following their master because they would meet again in not on this life, probably the life after it.
"Give our last respect!" Felix immediately bit his thumb and used the blood from it on his forehead. Forming a horizontal line with one of his arms crossed and placed on his left chest.
His subordinates also followed his gesture, staring at their comrades' departure with their hearts bleeding inwardly. This kind of gesture has bonded the moment they entered or became Felix's subordinates.
*rumble* *rumble*
Suddenly when they gave their salute, a rumbling sound came from their backs. This scene reminded them of the appearance of beasts horde. The sad expression on their face immediately turned into anxiety.
Even Felix, who looked grieve before, now turned solemn as he was slowly turning his back.
"What are you doing?" A familiar voice sounded in their ears. When their body was facing to the back, they saw a group covered by the sun's light standing above a giant wave of water.
Their mind froze for a moment, could not connect with their current logic. Water in this barren land? And a group riding a wave of water? How could they step on it?
The sound of water dropping kept falling on the ground, proving the water wave was real. The droplet tainted the barren land that was slowly turning into mud.
"Young master!" When the group descended from the giant water wave, Felix was the first person who was excited. His eyes keep wandering around, looking for his daughter.
However, when the group figures were finally revealed, one of them was his young master, while the rest were girls. Yet, Felix could not see where his daughter was!
