Chapter 299: To the Second Stop

"Everyone has agreed to team up against that evil cult now. They're trying to get to know with your friends." Spot said as we returned to the half-destroyed island.

Just as he said, the other Sea Serpents are looking at the others curiously. Are they trying to memorize our smell?

"Then I have something for you. This… let's make something easier for you to carry. Let's keep it as a Blobby and stick it to your body. It will be glued to you unless you force it to leave. That thing is Victoria's clone. And inside of it, there's a little bit of soil. That's Sonia's soil which you can use to call her. If there's anything you need, or if we have something to ask of you, we will contact each other through Sonia." I said as I stick a Blobby to his forehead.

"Oh! A long-distance communication by using a ghost! You're smart to be able to think of this!" Spot said. He's extremely happy to be able to communicate with a human being after a long time.

"Of course, if Sonia is free, you can call her anytime you want." I said to Spot.

"Okay! I won't bother you much! But if I started to get lonely, I will call her! Though I think it's best if I just follow you." Spot said.

"…what?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot. Unlike ordinary Sea Serpents, I can change my size into that of a regular snake. I can follow you anywhere! Can I?"

Spot is looking at me with puppy eyes. No wonder he's given a dog name.

He then reduced his size into that of a snake about one meter to prove that he can do it. then he snuggles… or is it warping his body to my leg?

I don't have the heart to reject him, but I'm afraid of what will happen since he's still considered a wild monster. Not contracted with a tamer or summoner at all. What would happen if he changes his mind?

I looked around to ask for the others' help, but they pretend to not notice me. Albert just patted me on my shoulder instead of telling me what to do.

Well, at least I know that Spot has always spoke the truth. Then… let's treat him like a pet.

"Then, if you don't mind, you can come with us. But what about the sea?"

Spot is known as the protector of the sea by the people in the shore of the Empire territory. If he's gone, I don't know what those worshippers of his will think.

"Don't worry. I can have one of my five children to be in charge of this sea. As for the other four, they will be put into different seas along with their children." Spot said.

"Then… I'll ask you to put someone in the sea territory of Tatrama Kingdom. It will be better if that one is near Cassau since that's where my home is. Though I will ask of you to refrain in killing people too much."

"Don't worry! We never kill anyone unless we are provoked. Most of the humans we killed are pirates or bad guys who disturb us by using magic. If you told us to not kill anyone, we won't!" Spot said.

"I'm not saying that you shouldn't kill anyone. I'm saying to not kill people too much. Well, thanks for your help. As for you, what else you can do?" I asked if Spot has any other abilities.

"Well, other than what Vowa showed you and much stronger, I can fly, change size, and can camouflage so no one can see me when I fly." Spot said.

"Really? Then can you take us to Varadis Kingdom? We want to meet their king. It will be much faster if we could ride on your back."

"Sure. Shall we, then?"

"Wait. Just return to your original size first. I'll transport the others home first."

While I used portal to returns everyone home, Spot is telling his children to guard different part of the seas. It's lucky for one of them to be in the Sea next to Cassau. But I hope that Serpent won't cause any trouble to the fishermen.

"Umm… Roy, why am I still here?" Albert asked.

"Yeah! Why am I still here as well!?" Lynn asked as well.

And not just Lynn. Her aide, Claudia, is also staying.

"Obviously, it will be faster to bring you two to meet the King of Varadis. Then, after meeting him, I'll return you back to your country."

"As long as I'm with my sister, then it's fine! Let's go!" Lynn happily agreed to join.

As for Claudia, she seems eager to fly. She already figures out why she isn't returned back to the Empire. Same as Albert. But she didn't complain.

"I'm busy though…" Albert said.

"Don't worry. With Spot's maximum speed, he can take us there in just a few hours. Spot, back then, that wasn't your full speed, right?" I asked Spot this time.

"So, you know!? You're right! I'm a hybrid of a Sky Serpent and Sea Serpent. My speed is far surpassing any other Sea Serpents. I don't know about Sky Serpents since I never met one in this world. But Sky Serpents were known to be the fastest type of Serpents back in my world. I'll show you my real speed this time." Spot said proudly.

"That's great! Then, we'll ride on top of your head. Come on, Albert!" I took everyone to Spot's head.

"Won't we fall? If we're going that fast, then we will fall due to the speed. And there's nothing to hold onto on Spot's head." Albert feels reluctant to go by riding on Spot's head.

"Don't worry, I can transform me and my clones into a seat with safety belt. It will be like riding a roller coaster!" Victoria said.

"I don't know what a roller coaster is, but do that. I don't need it so you can do it for the others."

I can just stick my feet to Spot's head like before. Well, I don't blame Albert for being afraid. But for me, I'm very confident with my physical strength and ability. And also, my sense of balance. I think the speed will force me to fall even with using Aura, but I will try to endure it. It's like some kind of training where I don't really need to do anything other than standing still. I like this.

Finally, everyone rides on top of Spot's head. Victoria made a seat for everyone to sit on. Even Celestine. I guess she won't be pressing her breasts on me anymore. What a shame.

"Then… Let's go!"

Spot instantly uses his maximum speed. Without even accelerating! That's a cheat!

I thought I am confident that I can endure Spot's speed. But turns out, I still underestimated it. I need to use my Aura fully to endure it.

As for the others, they are looking at the scenery with delight. Even Albert no longer feel afraid. Does that seat really that comfortable?

Well, even with those seats, it will be difficult for them to look around if I didn't cast an Air Barrier magic around us.

"So fast! You're amazing, Spot!"

It will be even better if your name is not a name commonly used for pet dog. I can't really say something like that when I gave my monster Blobby as a name, huh?

"I am amazing!" Spot said proudly.

We fly very quickly. In just one hour, the sea that I need to cross for a few days is already behind us. With him, we can finish this mission quickly.

"By the way, I want to ask you something."

"What is it, Roy?"

There's one thing I want to ask Spot after hearing about his past. It's about his homeworld.

"Do you want to return to Monsters World to meet your kin?" I asked.

"No." Spot said without any hesitation.

"No hesitation at all! Why?"

"In that world, it's survival for the fittest. I was just a baby back then, but even though I'm stronger now, I still prefer this world. I also have my family here." Spot said.

"I see… well, in that world, I even saw a worm about your size. That world is truly scary."

"I know, right?"

And three hours later, we finally reached the capital of Varadis. We're right above the royal castle, but no one can see us because of Spot's camouflage.

"We're already here!" I said to the others.

We're still above the sky with Spot floating around the castle.

"So fast! That was awesome!" Albert said.

"I want to go again!" Lynn said excitedly while hugging her sister's arm.

Celestine just smiled, while Claudia seems to agree with Lynn to go again.

"No, I'll call Sonia to tell the king that we're here. After meeting him, I'll return you with portal." I said.

Finally, we reached out second stop. I wonder what kind of king he is?
