Chapter 23: The hunters in the forest

About the no matter what I will destroy the fairies, just forget it. I mean they are really peaceful creatures, I shouldn't bother them with my destruction and pain. Yeah, we shall all live in peace and harmony for the rest of our lives. And they really don't need to know that I killed that little fairy. It's useless information anyway. And I destroyed her body when I activated my Aura so no proof. Shame that I didn't get to see if eating her was good but, can't be better than a lich. One was killed in seconds just because I wanted that, the other managed to survive a little bit against the seven adventurers. And, about that peace speech. Well, if your village is guarded by what looks like a freakin dragon, I guess you will be without worries.

I think it's a dragon. I know there is a lot of differences between drake, dragon, wyvern, and others. But I can't remember the details. So he has 2 arms and 2 legs, and his wings are attached to his arms. So that is not a dragon now that I think about it. But it's what, a drake? A wyvern? Something else. Let's go for a drake and if I failed well, not that important. I just don't need to meet an expert on this subject that will complain about how foolish I am to mistake this from that other thing. But in this world, who can be an expert about such a subject? Besides, dragon themselves, and dragon slayers. So a lot of dangerous people that I will never talk with.

I was planning to just spread my disease and leave but that threat is too big. Based on my knowledge, a dragon is highly sensitive toward magic. So if he smells my spell, then saw all his poor fairies friends die, he will chase me. Not a good thing. So let's go back in the forest. To kill the animals, to save the frames.

Now that I have evolved, my spell consumption has been greatly reduced. I can just walk, do a simple [Create Disease], walk for ten minutes, do it again and that for more than 90 minutes. After I still need to wait 10 hours but it is still very efficient to cover large areas. After traveling for 3 days, I level up my spell to level 6 and [Plague Bearer] to level 4, just one level behind my poisonous body. And as I walked, I could the dead bodies of countless animals. I really think that this forest was protected by the fairies and since the drake guard them, no one entered it. Maybe they are searching for me. They probably are. Well, let's keep going to the East.

How many drakes does this forest have? During a week, I have seen 3 more little fairy town and inside 2 drakes. One was just a few buildings in the trees compared to the other with at least hundreds of houses, so that explains the lack of drake. But why did they come here in the first place? What's good for them? Do the fairies feed them? That really puzzled me. For me, a dragon or whatever like two things. Steal gold from the dwarves, and have cooked meat. But I never saw a single coin inside the forest. And never saw the drake hunting for animals. So that means, they are after something else. But what? Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Honestly, if that operation failed, it is really because the drake is powerful. And by powerful, I mean more powerful than everyone in this world. Nothing is left in uncertainty. They have the damage, the defense, the trapping system. The only thing I don't see is the bait. What will bring the drake to this location? Except that, I will give them a full mark on the hunt. It looks like they are only 25 now. I guess a few of them have gone to the village. And what can they possibly do to make the

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

An explosion. Didn't see that coming. But from what I hear, if that didn't destroy half of the fairy town, I am not a ratman named Sleek.

GWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAARRGH!

That should be the drake. So I guess I know how they going to bring him here. By killing his little friends, their village and possibly hurt him. I think he is pretty angry right now. And if he is angry, he will not think of why a little group of human will be stupid enough to piss him off. He will just chase them without waiting. But for the expendables that were sent to do this, I really am praying for you. Because between a human running in a forest and a drake, yes, yes I see him flying right now. And oh, I think he just grabbed a human in his claws. And he breath fire on at least another one. But the distance is reduced, and he is in the range of the first ballista. Looks like the real battle will start now.
