Chapter 421: A New Tamed Pet
-----
(Back to Drake's POV)
It all happened rather quickly, but I resume, we went to the Winter Lotus Sect, and we helped them down. They were so surprised because I had chosen the most glorious way to enter a battlefield, through the skies! This made the people enter in some sort of awe, and they were all gasping in surprise over my glorious presence. I know I am amazing but calm down.
I had quickly divided my army in two as I noticed the sect was being attacked by two armies of shadow beast from both south and north, so I sent some there and remained in here to aid the entrance of the sect. In here I dealt with the shadow beast easily with the help of Benladann and Miranda, alongside my tamed beasts.
And about Benladann? Well I didn't wanted her to get to the war, she was pregnant, and her baby belly was getting bigger every day, I was worried about her and the baby's health, so I didn't wanted her to get hurt if possible.
Of course she didn't liked the idea even when I tried to forcefully leave her trapped inside Fuyu. She did something quite horrendous, as she used her own strength to break Fuyu's gate, making the poor Fuyu groan in a bit of pain. She apologized afterwards but ended coming with me anyways.
So I ended giving her the special super armor I had been building lately, and she was using it wonderfully. She looks amazing in silver-colored armor… my wife is really a cutie but can also become a hot warrioress in some good armor!
At the end she used the super reinforced armor and went to battle anyways. In a few minutes we disposed of everything, and it was over!
What? Did you expect me to go in great detail over every fight in real time? That would be quite boring, we skip that, so it happens behind scenes, this is a slice of life anime. Or well, it would be if it were. There is action but it happens behind the scenes… pretty nice approach.
The entire battle didn't took into any unexpected turns for the most part, although there were some big bosses showing up in the last minute, but those were dealt with at their due time, using our abilities, time, and techniques, we slain even the powerful snakes that showed up.
The Dark Shadow Sect was very deep indeed! They had a bunch of stuff I didn't knew they had, some of them were these snakes! It appears they possess giant beasts that are giant snakes, descendants of the Jormungandr, a snake of ancient myth that somehow is alive somewhere? Maybe?
Anyways, this giant snake is the father or mother of all these giant snake race, which were tamed by the dark shadow sect somehow, surprisingly, and they employed them in the method of fighting our troops. These snakes had the power of enhancing the shadow beast power through their mere presence and could distort anything around them with their auras of darkness.
Their riders themselves were not Rank 4 like the snakes, however, but some of them had peculiar abilities with them which made them pretty unique fighters to say the least, I did enjoy the fights anyways, and although I finished off my own very quickly, I caught the guy's soul, his mana core, corpse, and all of that, and even managed to not kill his snake, which I healed and somehow tamed without the help of Benladann's charm.
Unlike intelligent beings that can be stubborn, animals need to get some nice spanking and then you offer them some healing and food, and they'll be your loyal pets… well, in this world, at least that's how it goes, but people never hit your animals back home! Alright? It is bad and it only makes them hate you more. In this world is different because the monsters can literally eat you…
Anyways, I suddenly had a new snake pet out of nowhere and I was thinking which name to give him… actually, it was a girl, so her.
"Gryyyyshh…"
She cutely licked my face with her thin and double snake tongue. It was soft and warm, and her cute snout constantly poked my chest and head. She was a cutie. I am glad I didn't killed her and tamed her instead. She'll become my second in command… erm, ride! Yeah, sorry Frost, but this little dear will become a second ride, so you'll have competition! I decided to name her Kuro because she was pitch-black.
The entire battle ended, and everyone did their best, there were no casualties on our part but some of our weaker troops received big damage and almost died in some parts, but we managed to heal them back and they're all resting and recovering inside of Fuyu, as I had landed it nearby and sent them there.
The people were recovering, and although I felt a bit bad that I brought them to battle, they all were happy things ended well, they were willing to die for me, and it really meant a lot to me… I will make sure to compensate these people after they recover.
Riding my new snake pet, Kuro, I moved inside of the walls of the sect with my group of people after a few interactions with the sect members, with the elders calling us to get inside.
The people looked at the giant snake I was riding with mesmerizing and impacted expressions on their eyes. I know that Kuro is a gigantic Rank 4 Middle Stage Snake! But please don't be so rude to look at her like that, she's very shy!
Actually, Kuro was indeed quite shy and cute, but acted aggressive due to a special curse the snakes were inflicted with inside their heads, which forced them to obey the sect members… well, now she's free from it. She's very strong and her specialty is Dark and Shadow Magic, but she's more of a brute force fighter than anything. She got deadly venom too.
