1023 Words
"You should try and fight it if you want to win against Arthur." The seer said as she sat down under the tree, leaving only Mia to handle the giant beast.
These beasts are hunted by people because of the special crystals they have that powers up their body system.
The crystals are widely ranged used by everyone to buy armour sets, weapons, to buy foods and water, for transportation, for shelter and so many others.
The beasts have the forest as their base, so they are easier to find quickly. Every of the beasts sees the humans as their enemies but they don't go out of the forest to attack them anyhow. It only occurs twice a month.
Mia completely had forgotten that there might be beasts in the forest, but since there is, and the seer even left her to take care of the beast on her own, she had no other option but to fight the beast.
She brought out her two katana blade, it was her favourite of all swords, she preferred it to every other sword.
She pointed the sword at the beast, before running towards it. The beast was seven feet tall and huge as a gorilla. It had the same physique as a gorilla but only the spikes of his hands were differentiating it. Three long spikes were on his arms and the spikes were used by him to destroy trees and to attack it's enemy at the heart.
The gorilla beast roared loudly as he saw Mia running towards him. He started jumping and the ground shook violently as he did this, causing Mia's speed to slow down and many trees are being threw at her.
The beast kept of jumping and it almost caused Mia to fall down a cliff. She lift herself up with the sword and running past all the trees that are being hauled at her, she got to the feet of the gorilla beast and strike it with her sword.
What she did was risky as the gorilla beast almost stepped on her.
The beast roared in pain and because Mia had angered him, he kept on targeting to kill Mia.
"This beast is really annoying. Do you not know who I am? I am the Queen of one of the prosperous kingdom of the earth. You should bow to me, idiot." Mia said as she thought of a plan.
She went towards a coconut tree that is not that long nor big. It was a little bit bent. Mia climbed the coconut tree and the tree bend, curving like a 'n' shape.
Immediately, the tree flung Mia into the sky, towards the beast head. She lifted her sword high into the sky and as she got near the beast head, she slammed her sword deep into the beast's skull and made sure it was split into two.
The beast howled in pain and it fell to the ground.
Mia got near the chest of the beast and she started ripping out its chest in search of its crystal. Beast crystal are sometimes located at the chest region, brain region or feet region.
Luckily, the gorilla beast's crystal was at the chest region and after a few muddling with the chest and skin of the beast, she found the crystal, it was golden in colour and the energy was still radiating around it.
She placed it inside her pouch and went towards the seer.
"That's a hell of a fight, Mia. A hell of a fight." The seer laughed and Mia smiled back.
"I didn't know that I could kill the beast actually. It seems like my years of training as a swordsman did pay off." Mia said happy on her achievement.
"Okay, that's great. Rest for a while and we'll keep on going by noon." The seer said and Mia slept under the tree, enjoying the fresh breeze of the forest.
After a few moments later, they continued they journey and since their horse had escaped, they were journeying on feet.
"Are we going to continue like this till the five days are gone?" Mia asked.
"I would have loved to use my wings but it will be hard for me to get the location of the hidden cave and I can't perform magic to appear in the cave because there are no magic circle in the hidden cave." The seer explained and while doing this, she stopped immediately and as she turned to look her left, she saw a spiked bear running towards a direction. The seer stretched her hands and the spiked bear beast came towards them. Mia prepared her sword but the seer told her not to assault it.
The bear beast bowed out to the seer and it started speaking.
"Great One. You have called me and your humble servant is here to serve you." The bear said loud and clear with no language or pronunciation error.
"I want you to carry the two of us on your back and head towards the hidden cave. Will you do so, humble servant?" The seer said and the beast willingly accepted to help.
It bend on its knees so that the seer and Mia would be able climb its back. After they climbed and they were already seated, the bear beast started running deep inside the forest at a fast speed. They kept on searching for the hidden cave for days and on the third day, they finally saw the lake where the cave had been hidden into.
The seer got down from the bear's back and so did Mia. Mia stroked the furs of the bear before proceeding to see what the seer was about to do. The seer bent low, as she started drawing out magic circles and in her hands were several beast crystals that will be used to fuel up the magic circle.
After drawing twelve magic circles at the shore of the lake, she placed the crystals inside the magic circles, at the center of it.
Immediately, a white light started shining brightly and there was a loud rumbling inside the lake.
