'Hey there, Hero, I have two questions for you. Why are there so many goddamn Gnolls, and why are they not demons?'
I leaned to the left as I ran at the sound of a blade cutting the air from behind , and a battle ax flew by . There were thirty of the yipping bastards chasing now, and I had been tempted to just turn and deal with them, but I decided to let them co with .
[The Gnolls hate demons more than anything after Doa tried to do what you are asking. The Gnoll population was taken down by other beasts, but the demons had tried to take so of them during this ti. Dao had figured out what was going on by this ti and had sent out Demons and Demon Orc raiding parties all over the island.]
'Sure, but then why are there still so many of them? If the Demons couldn't capture them, I'm sure they would have just hunted them down. What did they do to avoid all of this?'
I jumped and spun at the humming noise of a spiked ball on a chain that ca at from a wired angle. I grabbed the flail at the wooden stake handle and continued my spin back with the weapon's montum around to land.
I didn't miss a beat, and kept on running, Veronica's totem allowing to react and land with precious and no missed steps. I had to shrink down a few tis, but even with the Sphinx Totem, that was like pulling the ground from underneath yourself at high speeds.
Hydie's Totem was allowing to feel when the creatures were going to throw sothing at so I could react adequately. Now, I spun the spiked ball on the chain up to speed as I continued forward, ready to deflect the thrown projectiles.
[How they survived, I do not know or even where they went. The Demons did just as you said and killed them off because the Gnolls would kill all the won and fight until they were dead.]
'Sounds like it would be a grueso thing to watch.'
[It was a savage ti on the island, but they started to co back after it was all over, and the island's monsters stopped trying to kill them. The other creatures didn't bother them after, but Doa has wiped them out more than five tis, but they keep coming back.]
That was interesting, and I wished I had more ti to look into this. Even though the Gnoll had refused to talk to when I had caught it outside of the Demon village, I could feel more than just hunger or anger from them now.
Complex emotions were coming from each of them; I could even sense their fears, which told I must be getting close to Neft. Now that there were so many from to leech Elental Energy from, I could even hear them talking to each other in so kind of bark.
[Whatever these creatures might seem like, don't get too carried away with them, you have more than enough to do before we leave the island. Neft's walls are only about half a mile from here, so watch out for the guards, and don't get seen yet.]
'Yeah, Yeah, I know, but I have a plan for getting into the city, but it's not foolproof, but first I need to get within range and then lose my groupies.'
That's when I started to sll the pungent odor of Pinesol and slowed, deflecting two rocks with the flail. I turned back, changing the Undine for Gog Totem, and hucked it back into the group, ignited with fire.
I shrunk down just as fifteen massive purple bear/bull n ca into sight. The flail only killed two of them, but it exploded in a shower of sparks that served to get the guards' attention, AKA Neft.
I was four tis as small and about three-quarters of an inch tall, legs were less than half of that, but I had a plan. I summoned Kali, and she appeared the sa size as with a smile; the two of us had been talking before Hero, and I discussed the Gnolls.
"Can I get a ride, little sister?" I asked and vowed to never phrase it like that again.
Kali gave a cute smile and turned her back to , putting her arms out to the side.
"Sure big brother, you can ride anyti that you want! You just have to ask, and you can mount , but you don't have to worry about being too big for ! I can handle all of you, so don't be afraid to ask to climb on top of !" Kali said in the exact friendly tone that she had ant it, but I was trying to imagine what it was like to shave with a cheese grater.
"Thanks," was about all that I could muster after hearing that.
Once I had made sure that I was decent and not going to be causing any questions to rise, I… mounted Kali. This was my own damn fault for even trying to be funny, and even though it had gone over her head, she had unknowingly played alone.
Once I was on Kali's back, and she coiled so vines around my legs, we started to move forward at a swift pace. Kali didn't really walk or run, but more like riding a surfboard on a wave, but in a partial lunge.
The ride was rough but top speed, and even at this size, we almost traveled as fast as I ran full-sized, which made wonder if I really shouldn't ask her for more rides. If Kali could get around the island faster, I would be able to get more done in the short bit of ti I had left here.
[Yeah, I bet you like riding your little sister any chance you get! BWAHAHA!]
'If I could reach you, I would hit you.'
[Imagine how many tis I have said that since you got here!]
