Chapter 660 - The Lizardmen Tribe
-----
We had to jump from the wall so we wouldn't end up making a fuss by walking outside the village at this hour, we also didn't wanted to give any explanations to people. Using my magic it was easy to make everyone levitate, Wind Magic, as always is very convenient.
I still recall those times I was a baby ice dragon without wings, and I wanted to find a way to launch my ice at enemies, so I practiced wind magic and was able to do just that. I ended awakening my wind magic, which I already had stuck to my ice magic- or well, Winter Magic.
Since then that I've been using Wind Magic for everything, although in those early stages, I had to use it to enhance my speed and escape further away from the bastards annoying me all the time, while I was also trying to survive by trying to find food, because I was getting progressively hungrier as I evolved.
Thankfully those days of survival are long gone, nonetheless, there are still threats around, so I must be careful by how I act, I cannot bring too much unwanted attention to myself, or such enemies could find me through their connections.
Due to that, I used Illusion Magic and covered ourselves with Illusion Veils and Transparent Breeze, two spells I had created, the second one was a special spell combined with wind magic that covered people with a special illusory breeze that made you transparent.
Like that, I used the Levitate Spell and helped everyone lift off the ground and fly into the sky, it was dark, and we were invisible so there was no problem in flying atop the skies now.
We reached the jungle in mere seconds, and we quickly descended close to where Fuyu's true body was. The jungle was completely dark as it was night already, so we had to deal with that as well. Well, it wasn't anything too much, when we reached the jungle, the party looked around, there was barely any single light around, some glowing mushrooms in the floor at most.
"It's all dark in here." Sighed Rakasha. "Let's see…"
He quickly took out of his bag a special lantern to illuminate the place.
"You don't have to worry." I said, as I conjured the Skill Photon Bullet which generates a bullet made of light, a Skill I got after I ate Greenwood's mechs, and concentrated the bullet into a single place, making a floating ball of light, that's as much light-element as I can conjure, but it works.
"Ooh! I guess you can do that too…" said Rakasha.
"And this too…" I said, using Moonlight magic and generating a flashy white and pink light that I wrapped around the floating ball of yellow light, making a floating moon-like bulb that followed us and illuminated a large area of the jungle for us.
"Incredible, is there anything you can't do?" sighed Miranda. "You're a jack of all trades and master of all at this point!"
"Well, not really, my Ice Magic is still the strongest, the other elements are subpar aside from Wind Magic in terms of offense…" I sighed. "I cannot do everything in the world either, there's a lot I cannot do, in fact."
"Okay, relax, I was joking!" sighed Miranda, petting my shoulder. She was able to reach my shoulder because she was in her ice giant form now, which was like her, but it was blue-skinned and tall.
"Relax for a bit, Drake." Said Belle.
"I am relaxed. I just said a few things that are always in my mind." I said. "A-Anyways, I think we are getting closer…"
We looked on front of us, and found a big and empty area.
"This is my body…" said Fuyu.
It was completely invisible, of course, and there was a lot of people inside of her castle fortress-shaped body, but it was all made invisible, so it looked like a very bizarre and completely empty area.
"Yeah, I know. We are here… Let's circle around it, the lizardmen should be close…" I said. I quickly decided to turn off the lights now and we stealthily walked towards where the lizardmen where.
After a few minutes, we finally reached their resting area, there were several tents made out in the moment, with many of the lizardmen sleeping inside of them. But there was also a large group of them? awake, some had made a few fires and were talking and eating fish, I suppose they were guarding the people sleeping.
Lizardmen dialect was interesting and different from the common tongue, they spoke rather strange by making some very loud and dry sounds out of their throats, they sounded like dinosaurs attempting to speak… or like the sound that velociraptors made in the Jurassic Park movies, in fact, they even had their faces shaped like them.
They had long and thick tails resembling the tails of crocodiles, and their bodies were muscular, covered in hard metallic scales that resembled green plates of metal, and they seemed fierce and strong, many wore armor made with the scales of other hunted monsters, and also spears, they also had obviously magic as every living being with a mana core in this world has, but I saw that the majority had Water Magic.
"S-So how do we do this? Do we just walk there and talk to them?" asked Miranda nervously. "I am not good at socializing."
"I don't know, can we understand their language?" asked Belle. "Their language might be a big barrier for us…"
"Hm, even after I lived with lizardmen for roughly three years, I had only barely learned some of their language…" sighed Rakasha.
"Hmmm… (System, can you do something?)" I asked the System.
The System continued to hear how they spoke and more, until after 10 minutes of waiting, it was done. Incredible, that was amazingly fast.
O-Okay then, go ahead- AGH!
FLASH!
Suddenly, my entire mind was filled information.
