Chapter 414: My Personal Guard Unit
Chapter 414: My Personal Guard Unit
My words were enough to entice their excitement. I could see their pumped up will already in their eyes; they wouldn't settle just by telling me the places of other races.
And that just suited me the best.
"How can we reach you again, master?" Omad, in a very respectful tone, asked.
"Well, you can go to the plains out there," I turned to point out towards the direction of the great plains, "there you will find a path between two vast walls, ascend it and you will find my village."
The two nodded, and I thought of leaving a bunch of monsters back at the path to welcome them. "I might also leave some of my pets, monsters that swore allegiance to me. They will guide you to my place from that point."
"That's better," Dredly said, "I will lead those able to fight with me after all the children and elders leave here."
I just nodded, and he went to supervise the migration of his clan. "Are you going to be ok alone?" Omad suddenly asked. "Those tree monsters seemed vicious and vengeful."
"You know of them?" I was surprised as I summoned him and his army after the end of the battle.
"They came from the world I once lived in. They were known there to be hard to deal with, especially with their large numbers and strange powers.''
"Special powers?" I muttered, "they showed none of this in the past fight. Their existence here must be affected by this new world," I said before thinking about another matter.
"What world did you live in?"
"A world full of monsters like me and them."
I went silent as I never expected for the grand world to be formed of other unknown worlds to humans. I thought these were evolved monsters, yet my assumptions were proven wrong!
It took roughly an hour and four bruberries for Dredly to send the last one of his kin away towards my village. "We are ready to depart, master,' he said while around three thousand demons stood behind him.
"Good," I said while taking out one pearl of my inventory. The moment the pearl came out it caused the usual energy scene dissipating from it in wisps, and the eyes of Dredly, Omad, and their followers changed to be glued to the pearl.
"Don't take so long," I said while taking a slow bite off the pearl and chewing it, "I might finish all the pearls if you took forever," I then finished the pearl in a couple of bites, feeling the strange and refreshing energy pushed inside my body.
The energy didn't just replenish my hunger as before, or even replenish my energy; it started adding benefits to my body! My muscles felt lively like never before, and my mind seemed to think more clearly than ever.
'Never thought such pearls would have such an effect on me,' I thought to myself.
"Ding Dong! The pearls are mightier than before, so try to use them scarcely from now on."
"Why is that?"
"Ding Dong! The world is built on balance. If you increase your personal strength fast, it would alarm the world and then many will appear with an equal or more power than you."
"Tsk, such a merciless rule must be implied just now by you."
"Ding Dong! I have no say in the rules of the world, you know."
"I don't believe it!"
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
"Tsk."
My brief conversation with the system startled everyone here, yet my demon muttered something to both parties, making them realize how my moments of madness were totally normal.
'I think we should leave parts of our armies with you as a protection," Omad expressed his own thought again. "I agree with him, the master must be secured from any harm," and Dredly just stepped in to stand with him.
"Alright," I shrugged, as I didn't care about having more strength and protection with me. "Give me a hundred from each army, and then go off my sight," I said as I planned to retreat to the plains where I had a meeting with my loyal pets.
The next minutes were chaotic as each left a hundred of their strongest to guard me. Many wanted to take a role in this, knowing this would be the infant form of my personal guards.
They didn't get it, did they? All of them were considered my personal army and guard! I watched their debate before Omad and Dredly had to step in, personally deciding this matter.
And so they left, leaving behind two hundred powerful demons and Tesakos with my demon standing as the largest out of them. "Listen, from this moment on you will be led by my two demons, follow their orders to the letter and make sure not to disappoint me," I said before waving for my demon to come and kneel.
As usual, I landed on my favorite spot on his shoulder before he started jumping off the ground, heading fast towards the front.
I spent many hours here, so I was pretty sure that Jen, Lilly, and Mark had finished their part and were waiting for me at the rendezvous point.
We were deep in this valley, yet with the high speed of the demons and the strong looking army of mine running and galloping behind me, we exited the valley in less than an hour.
"We took longer than I thought," I muttered as I thought we would take only half an hour.
"Probably because the valley was wider from the inside," the demon replied before adding, "where to?"
"To the same place we sat off from. Do you remember it?"
"Sure."
I sat there while glancing over the area around. There were no enemies or monsters in sight, yet I had this feeling, this annoying feeling of being watched.
"Those damn tree monsters seemed to be really vengeful," I thought to myself as they were the only ones who would be daring enough to spy on me!
