I left velvet lotus carrying Tam under my arm and headed straight towards wolf territory, but I made a stop on my way, just after making it past the nice architecture, and making it to the ruined part of the city.
Then I put my chicken on the ground and used 'Summon enhancent' on him. I didn't want to go overboard, so I just went with a bit of mana. Probably double the whole mana pool of a person with one fully upgraded magic class of the first tier.
Tam grew in size to be just as tall as I was, which made want to make him bigger. I doubled what I used previously making him just big enough, to work as a mount. I also used 'Skill sharing' on him, and shared my 'Shadow walk'.
- Ok, now I'm gonna climb on your back, so don't freak out, ok? - I said to him.
- Bawk! - was his answer, and it was so damn loud, that it hurt my ears.
I climbed on the back of my chicken, grabbing his feathers tightly.
- Charge! - I shouted, and Tam started running.
It was aweso! I never rode on any animal before, not to ntion that my chicken was anything but ordinary. With my magic flowing through his body he was way faster than a normal rooster would be. On top of that, he started shadow walking!
Kinda randomly at first, but he quickly figured out how that skill worked, and our speed even increased.
If I was to run by myself, I would be still way faster, but the whole thing would also be way less fun. We charged through the streets like a caricature of cavalry, eventually reaching the gate, and picking the attention of the guards on duty. The first ones to notice us pointed at us, and soon every single guard out there knew about and my chicken, as we vanished into the woods.
Maneuvering between the trees was easy for Tam. The obstacles he had to avoid making better experience the speed he was running at. There were few calls though when he had to use 'Shadow walk' to avoid a collision.
It didn't take long for to hear the first squeaky sounds made by lizards, giggles, and nasty sounds of flesh being cut.
- Slow down Tam. We are close - I whispered to him, and he followed my orders.
When we erged from behind the trees all Xuzards reacted by scampering, spreading around, and hiding behind the trees. Only a single lizard didn't run away. Ki'rai.
She twisted her head to the side, looking at the giant chicken. I jumped down from my mount and ca from behind it.
- Hi Ki'rai! - I waved my hand, smiling.
- Peter? - at first, she was surprised, but then she rembered that she is actually angry at , and pouted.
- I ca to apologize, and I also would like to et your brethren.
The little lizards were peeking from behind the trees all this ti. With my introduction, they slowly ca out, looking at her for confirmation that it really is safe. She used her hand, to summon them closer, and a whole lively bunch surrounded her.
- Then do!
- I'm sorry that I left you, and didn't make any contact. I had to go, but I was unsure if I will be able to return, so I had to go alone. Then... Sothing happened with Will and his family. I wanted to fix it, so I focused on opening the gate to earth. I should have told you this and apologized sooner. I'm sorry Ki'rai. Will you forgive ?
She nodded slowly.
- I forgive you.
I smiled at her.
- So, who are those lovely people?
She introduced to every single Xuzard, one by one. There were a lot of nas, and to be honest there was no way for to rember them all. I learned so with ti, though.
They invited to hunt with them, and since I really didn't have anything better to do, I agreed. I mostly stayed at the backline and watched them fight. I have to admit, they were quite flashy, running around and jumping at the wolves. Climbing trees, and ambushing from above.
They had little carts with them to collect the crystals.
At so point, even Tam had his mont to shine, as he gt attack, and pecked one of the animals to death. His strength after my enhancent was no joke, way more than he needed to deal with a bunch of wolves.
We made it all the way to the cave, and then I was basically made a walking light source. My firebirds were more than enough to make the path illuminated. Ki'rai and her gang easily dealt with the beasts, and only got a bit of trouble when it ca to the strongest breeds. Still, there was no need for to intervene.
Eventually, we reached the door leading to the werewolf chamber.
- I want to kill the boss - she inford . - Can you help ?
- Sure. Whatever you need.
She smiled and went to push the door to reveal a familiar view. The moonlight coming from the ceiling, and a single throne with him.
I followed her inside, anwhile the animal transford into its more nstrual form. I just approached him, turning the seal off, while he tried to claw my face off. I grabbed the hand, broke them in one swift move, and then subjugated the beast. He tried his best to free himself, but I was just too physically strong for him.
All Ki'rai needed to do, was cut his head off, and she did just that. It wasn't easy, since she had to avoid the beast's jaws.
anwhile, all the lizards observed the scene in awe.
Eventually, she got him, and the body turned to smoke, leaving crystal behind.
- Congratulations - I said to her.
She nodded firmly, happy with the victory. After that, we all returned to the city. Since I was walking beside them there was no point for Tam to stay in his big form, so I cut off the mana supply, and just carried him in my arms.
We did a bit of celebration later, in Velvet Lotus, where I had witnessed for the first ti how to party lizards look like. They were everywhere, overtaking the dancefloor. Humans didn't even try to go there, giving it all to them. It was too fun to just watch them going crazy in the rhythms of music.
The day ca to an end with 3 847 029 points remaining on my account, and 19 class points.
