After flying for several hours at tremendous speed, Azaline and Geeta could finally see the land of the Eastaria continent from the distance after passing the pacific ocean. Just like the rumors they heard before, the Eastaria continent filled with untouched vast forest.
âYoung queens, Weâre descending. There are lots of sensory barriers above the skies made by the Owlfolks to sense if there is an aerial attack coming towards their kingdom. My size will make them alert, so we need to go on foot from here,â said the Sky King.
âI see⦠Okay, Corvus. Thank you for your hard work,â Thanked Azaline as she ready herself for a tough journey.
As they descend to the ground, Corvus transformed into a small bird and flew towards Azalineâs head.
âEven though Iâve transformed into this small form, I could still use some of my magic and skills, young queens. Iâll try my best to not become a burden along the way,â Said Corvus the Sky King with an unexpectedly high-pitched voice that similar to a child.
âPfft! Corvus! I never expected that the one that transformed is not only your form but your voice too!â Geeta covers her mouth as she tried to not laugh at the mini-sized Sky King.
âHow rude! My voice became like this because my vocal cords got smaller too every time I transformed into this small form!â Protested Corvus the Sky King.
âPfft! Yet you called yourself the âSky Kingââ¦â Geeta continued to laugh as she heard the Sky Kingâs voice.
âY-You ugly goblin and your rude mouth⦠No wonder his imperial majesty forget about youâ¦â Scoffed Corvus the Sky King.
âW-W-W-What did you say, you stupid bird!? W-W-W-Who forgets whom!? Say it once again if you dare!!!â Geeta replied furiously.
âStop it, you two. Corvus, donât mention Renâs name like that, not only Geeta, it made me felt sad too,â Azaline cut the fight that about to begin between the Goblinâs queen and the Sky King.
âIâm sorryâ¦â (Corvus the Sky King)
âAnd Geeta, donât ridicule Corvusâs voice, heâs my familiar, remember?â (Azaline)
âHehe~ Sorry, but I couldnât help but laugh since his voice at this form completely ruins his âSky Kingâ image~ Sorry, Corvus,â (Geeta)
âItâs fine. Iâm sorry too, young Geeta,â Corvus the Sky King apologized towards Geeta too.
Geeta still has the urge to laugh when she heard Corvusâs voice again as she is fighting with herself to not have the corner of her mouth curled upwards. Azaline noticed it and could only let out a sigh as she looks at her best friend.
âItâs fine, Corvus. Your voice is cute. Now, where should we go? Um⦠Corvus?â Asked Azaline.
âUgh⦠The damage towards my pride as the Sky King for getting called cute is surprisingly high⦠But since itâs my master that said it as a compliment I couldnât even get angry⦠*Sigh*â Corvus muttered towards himself as he emitting a depressing aura.
âAzaline⦠You sure have no mercyâ¦â Said Geeta as she tapped at Azalineâs shoulder.
*Cough* *Cough*
Corvus cleared his throat as he about to explain about the way, but heâs completely clueless that his child-like cough felt so adorable to Azaline and Geeta.
âAt my last journey towards this continent, this is the place where our battle commenced. So I myself never even take a glimpse of the Owlfolksâ kingdom. But back then, our leader only said that we should go east and we will meet the nearest Owlfolk kingdom,â (Corvus)
âI see⦠Then letâs go, we canât leave our kingdom too long, after all,â (Azaline)
Following Azalineâs words, they departed to the east. The forest isnât filled with many dangers as how the magical forest of Everdeen used to be. But itâs normal since the reason why Everdeen forest is called the magical forest is that the very dense amount of various mana elements resides inside the land, growing countless valuable and strengthening plants that made the magic beasts residing inside the magical forest become stronger too.
The strengthening plants got eaten by the herbivores, the strengthened herbivores got eaten by the carnivores and the strengthened carnivores that have a dense amount of mana element died and return the mana towards the land. The cycle goes on and made the magical forest of Everdeen filled with dangerous creatures despite holding lots of unimaginable valuable resources. The dangerous magic beasts that have higher intelligence than usual magic beasts are the reason why people avoided the magical forest despite having countless valuable resources.
Azaline and Geeta encounter some magic beasts like the Ectra Python, Jade Falcon, Goblins, and Giant Tarantula, but they donât possess any high intelligence or even special elemental mana inside their body like the magic beasts at the magical forest of Everdeen did. They only fight with brute force and some normal skills they had, which made them a feast for Azaline, Geeta, and their familiars.
âI never know that weâre so lucky to be born and live in the magical forest of Everdeenâ¦â Geeta muttered as she remembers the goblin that attacked her and Azaline a few hours before. They attacked them, but since Geeta is also a goblin, she didnât want to kill them, but they canât even communicate or even understand her words.
Since the goblins keep on attacking them, they didnât have any choice but to kill them in defense.
âI used to consider the forest to be hell. We goblins are very weak, even the discrepancy between our best warriorâs strength and an orcâs strength is very different. We need a [Count] ranked goblin to manage to kill a [Viscount] ranked Orc, thatâs how weak we used to be,â (Geeta)
âSince we didnât know any martial arts back then, all we knew is fight with brute force, while using a weapon is our biggest advantage. Luckily, my brother and his friends ranked up rather quickly. We finally manage to survive even if there are lots of things that happened. We became stronger after we got the direwolves became our familiars, but still, we still considered the magical forest is still hell,â (Geeta)
âEvery month, there will always casualties because of an attack. Every month, we will always get attacked by other magic beasts. Itâs an unstoppable war to survive. But after looking at that goblin before, their body is so small, with their strength, they wonât even survive an hour inside the magical forest, and they couldnât even communicate with each other which is one of our greatest weaponsâ¦â (Geeta)
âThe hell turned out to be a paradise instead⦠Well, it is a paradise for us now, though,â Geeta shrugged.
âTrue. The magical forest gives lots of benefits to its inhabitants. Thatâs why the humans feared the forest, well we feared the forest too, though. But weâve experienced that because the thought of unity between the other inhabitants never crossed our mind since all of us are strong, and none of us wants to share the valuable resources of the forest,â (Azaline)
âYouâre not wrong, but you Elves still looked the same whenever you were born. Itâs somehow saddening to see that my fellow race to be that weak and fragileâ¦â Muttered Geeta as she imagined that the goblins across the world are all similar to the goblins she just met before.
Not knowing what to reply, Azaline hugged Geeta from behind for a while.
âLetâs change the topic, shall we?â Said Azaline.
âYup, I wonder what the Owlfolk kingdom looks like~â Geeta returns to her cheerful mode.
But as they continued their journey, several malicious presences suddenly appeared from behind them. The malicious presence is emitting a disturbing familiar aura that made cold sweat drop from Azaline and Geetaâs face.
Azaline and Geeta stare at each other and nods towards each other. Azaline ready her bow while Geeta unsheathes her sword.
The malicious presence approached them slowly from above. Theyâre emitting demonic mana just like the demons they fought before. Azaline is not concerned with their individual strength, since she could sense that their individual strength is not that powerful.
But the problem isâ¦
Their numberâ¦
Keeps on increasingâ¦
âYoung queensâ¦â Warned Corvus the Sky King.
âYes, Corvus⦠Should we consider fleeing by riding you, Corvus?â Asked Azaline.
âTheyâre weak, and it seems that theyâre not approaching us because theyâve sensed us. It looks like that theyâre just coincidentally flying in our direction. What about hiding?â Asked Corvus.
âYes, letâs-â Before Azaline could agree, suddenly a loud and creepy cry sounded above them.
âW-Wha!?â (Geeta)
A huge demonized bird suddenly appears above them without them noticing, only able to grit their teeth and ready themselves, Azaline grips her bow strongly as she remembers her mother.
âDie!!!â (Azaline)
