Chapter 347 - Hunting A Wyvern(2)

Desmond smiled awkwardly at his sister. He then used his magic to shave his beard and mustache simultaneously. Making a clean deep cut on his entire face, bringing back the youth and handsomeness.

"What about now? Do I look good?" Desmond bent his body and spread his arms. At the same time, natural energy began rotating around his body. Forming long slim water that was cleaning the stinky smell and washing his body.

"Yes," Alice replied with a tear and warm smile on her face. Without waiting, she ran to her brother and hugged him. "I miss you, brother."

Alice was now already 14 years with her height almost reaching his neck. The moment their body touched each other, Desmond could feel her cold body and a fresh scent from her white hair.

However, Desmond also could feel her feeling just by hearing her voice. A yearn that mixed between sadness and loneliness. It seems after knowing there was no news from their parent, she really had lost her sense of direction and now putting her full trust in him.

"The only family she knew and the only person she familiar with it," Desmond muttered. They were hugging for a certain moment with his subordinates showed up one by one far behind her back.

Among the men, only Felix was wearing full set clothes of animal skin while the other was barechestedness with animal skins covering their bottom part.

Many scars could be seen from their chest, it seems it was not easy to catch a beast even after they grouped up.

As for the girls, Annie had a short shirt animal skin, revealing her white belly with her long animal pants that covered her tight legs.

While Laura had the same clothes as Annie but instead wore long pants she was wearing a thick gown that looked preventing her from moving freely.

All of them were waiting for their master. No one of them wants to disturb the short and peaceful Alice and Desmond moment. There was no further news from their parents with both of the siblings still trying to survive in the wilderness.

If not for Desmond's strong will and the leadership he displayed back then, maybe the one who took care of them was Felix. Alice could be considered lucky to have a strong brother like Desmond.

He not only created a miracle for them to hide, he even killed the most prestigious person in the North Kingdom, a Grandmaster. Adding to the fact he was just a teenager, his future was boundless.

He has power, looks and now an army to command. The words were spoken by Desmond still imprinted on their mind.

"Sorry for the wait," After a long time hugging Alice, both of them returned to their normal state with Alice was standing without shyness on her face behind Desmond. Her complexion could be said to become better after pouring out all of her hidden feelings to her brother.

Unlike in the past, Laura now looked at both of them with a smile. She did not become jealous again over a small matter, instead she was now being supportive.

In the end, both of them are a sibling. I have a lot of chances, Laura thought. The only rival she had now was her comrade, Annie who looked at Desmond with a different gaze.

If Annie only looked at her master with respect and admiration in the past, there was a hint of love in her eyes.

"I want half of you to follow me to search and hunt a group of a wyvern," Desmond spoke. He now stands tall among them with his firm gaze landed on each of his men.

They were twenty men and three girls including him and Felix. If half of the men followed him, it still did not enough for ten men only to defend their hidden base in case something bad happened.

The chilling sensation from the frozen ground did not even affect his barefoot and his bare chest. Even though Desmond focused his time on research for the past six months, he still had his muscle body.

At the same time, when the men saw Desmond, the image of him and a black dragon began to overlap. The one who had a question about how to take down a wyvern swallowed and buried their thought.

"Any question?" Desmond asked. At that time, he felt some of his men's gaze on him but somehow it vanished.

Desmond also looked at the corner of his view where his map showed many red dots around him. Clearly, those red dots were a beast that roaming above their base.

"No, young master!" All of them shouted simultaneously. They had a solemn expression with their gaze focused on the front.

When Desmond saw their spirit, he nodded in satisfaction. After a few months, they still had their courage and their loyalty to him.

"Felix, I need you to stay here to protect my sister. I can't let anything happen to the girls while we are on the hunt," Desmond spoke and pointed his finger above.

The people looked up and could see the ceiling trembled along with a growling sound from the beasts. They had known this for the past few months, but because there was no further command from Desmond, they just tried to ignore that.

Felix that wanted to refute at first immediately nodded heavily. Her young lady already told him about her daughter's wishes and now protecting the last wish from her daughter was his duty.

"Yes, young master. Please put your full trust in me," Even with his old body, Felix still emitted an aura of a 4th class swordsman. The rest of people who looked at him were feeling ashamed of their laziness.

Unlike mage who need talent and higher trait to reach the apex of their class, on the other hand, swordsman needs a strong will and a hard-working person like Felix. Every normal person could reach the power same like Felix if they hardworking.

Unfortunately, most of the swordsman were swayed by their strength and pride after reaching the 2nd class. Because after getting the 2nd class, they could have a wealth same like those wealthy small merchants.

"Then, I will leave you guys with Felix," Desmond spoke softly at his sister. He and the rest of the men he selected then descended from the stairs and went to the corner of the grand- canyon.
