Chapter 6 Crest Valley

Chapter 6 Crest Valley

The brilliant rays of the mid-day sun shone upon Crest Valley and bathed it in vitality. This valley and the mountains surrounding it were home to all sorts of magic beasts.

People who passed through this valley would usually take the safest route that had already been scouted beforehand by the Magi. And if one were to travel through this valley alone, that was simply courting death.

Of course, if it were a very powerful Magus then there would be nothing to worry about. New novel chapters are published on

The traveling party had just entered Crest Valley. From here on out, they would take about three weeks, give or take, to reach Moon City.

But more importantly, the attacks from magic beasts would also intensify from here on out. Magic beasts had extreme primal tendencies, they disliked foreigners encroaching upon their territory.

Adam looked at the view through the carriage window in awe. After all, he'd spent all his life in a small town in Cormier Kingdom. In the last two months, he had witnessed many new and different things.

In the distance, a pack of half a dozen foxes were staring at the traveling party vigilantly. Whereas, the fox cubs were playing with each other in a carefree manner. On the other side, a herd of horses with fiery mane ran unrestrainedly.

Although the scene looked spectacular, Adam knew that it was all just a facade. After his regular chats with the mercenaries, he had come to learn just how dangerous this valley was. Moreover, Crest Valley bordered the Murky Mountains, a place that even Magi didn't dare venture into.

Adam's hands involuntarily grabbed the hilt of his sword as he thought to himself, Rick and the others mentioned that there would always be deaths in the traveling party when they went through the Crest Valley...

He had learned that this wasn't the first time Rick and the other mercenaries were escorting young children to Moon City. In their past travels, there would always be casualties in this dangerous place.

Even if there were Magi present, they couldn't save everyone.

"E-excuse me." Suddenly, a meek voice called out to Adam. He turned around to see that a young girl with twin ponytails was looking at him nervously.

"Yes?" Adam asked.

The girl thought for a moment and then replied, "You've been talking to these mercenaries quite often... How long did they say it'll take us to reach Moon City? I-I can't stand it anymore."

"Damn it, it's a wolf pack!"

"And a large one at that." The mercenaries wore solemn expressions.

A single wolf alone, even if it was a magic beast, was not much to deal with. However, if it was a large wolf pack, then that spelled nothing but trouble.

The wolves within a pack were able to coordinate with one another almost like a small military troop and were very difficult to fight against.

"Hurry up! Arrange the carriages as the blockade and get into formation," The leader of the mercenaries, an intimidating-looking bald man wearing leather armor, screamed as he ordered the others.

In the dark of the night, hundreds of pairs of ominous green eyes were suddenly visible in the distance. And they were approaching the camp at a terrifying speed. The ground also began to rumble, signaling the incoming wolf pack.

"Shit! It's the night wolves!"

"Damn it!"

"Get in formation! Get in formation!"

The mercenaries began cursing one after another. Night wolves were the strongest during nighttime. Their movements were swift and their attacks vicious.

Rick looked at the dozens of children who were in a state of panic and spoke solemnly, "Prepare for battle."

The few little boys and girls in the group began crying and calling out for their parents. While some of them had serious looks on their faces and brandished their weapons.

Adam too felt the severity of the situation and unsheathed his steel sword that he had recently extorted out of one of the kids. His grip around the sword hilt tightened as he anxiously looked at the incoming wolf pack.

A few meters away, Jeffrey who had a crossbow in his hand, looked at the incoming wolves and gulped nervously. But when he turned his head and glanced at Adam, a cruel light shone in his eyes.
