Chapter 125 [Bonus Chapter] Another Strange Thing
Aurdis frowned upon noticing the soft glow. 'What's that?'
Suddenly an arrow shot toward her from the left. Then from behind her, a short spear came.
Aurdis just shake her hand a little. Then a dome of light appeared around her body.
*TANGGG!*
*TANGGG!*
The arrows and spear just bounced off as they hit the silver dome surrounding Aurdis.
One of the Aarakocra with the head of a dark green feather snapped his beak. His expression was angry and annoyed.
"(Shit! She doesn't even have to get off her horse to fight us!)"
"(Don't worry. Kluiel can handle it,)" his friend who had dark brown feathers responded.
The blue-feathered Aaracokra smirked. "(You're right. With the Magic bracelet he's got, Kluiel won't lose to him.)"
These Aaracokra actually don't know that Aurdis is an Elf.
Aurdis form is very similar to
humans. A conspicuous feature like pointed ears escaped their judgment.
Those Aaracokras had come this far for only one purpose. They wanted revenge on the humans who had killed their brothers.
Unfortunately, there was no clue they could get from the human.
In addition to the word from the souls of their brothers who were successfully summoned by the Shamans in their tribe, a human kills them.
With only that explanation from the dead souls, the Aaracokras decided to venture out in search of the human's whereabouts.
A big decision was driven only by an impulsive desire for revenge. Yes, that was enough to make the Aaracokras do all this.
There is nothing in this world that can tempt the Aaracokras other than revenge.
Neither riches nor glory can tempt them. Only a desire for vengeance, a need to cull a threat, or a similar event can take the Aarakocras away from their home in the skies.
They went in groups of five. All have one goal. That is to look for the humans who killed their brothers.
Aurdis' form which looks like a human immediately provokes their desire to hunt her.
However, they couldn't be further from reality. That what they were hunting right now wasn't a human. But an elf.
The creature with the strongest Magic ability in this world.
"(You guys are quite annoying. I can't waste time with you guys,)" Aurdis mumbled while exhaling.
The look on her face depicts a bored person.
Kluiel, the leader of Aarakocra noticed the look on Aurdis' face.
Rage instantly burned within his chest. Kluiel clenched his fists.
Suddenly, under Star the stallion's feet, a Magic circle appeared. Aurdis frowned.
"(A Magic circle?!)"
Aurdis was quite surprised to see the appearance of a Magic circle below her. Have these Aarakocras received Magic lessons from someone? She recognized this symbol.
Then the Magic circle started to generate a heat wave. A moment later fire gushed from it.
*ZWOOOOSSSHHH!*
The flames soared up to form a pillar of fire. All the Aarakocra apart from Kluiel laughed with their strange bird sound.
A voice that didn't sound normal to ears that weren't used to hearing it.
But their laughter stopped when they saw that Aurdis was not scratched at all.
She was still standing on her horse with a bored face. It made Kuiel and all the Aarakocra around her stare in shock.
Their bird eyes were wide open. Their beaks were gaping as if to let out a silent chirp.
That magic circle is indeed quite powerful Magic. But that magic is still far below the magic power of an Elf at Aurdis level.
Suddenly, the Aarakocra felt a drop of water fall on them.
"(What happened? I didn't see it raining,)" one of the Aarakocra said confusedly.
Then he looked up. Above them was already an amount of water that had gathered.
The amount of water was floated by an invisible force.
Aurdis smirked. When the Aarakocra were careless because they felt they could kill her easily, Aurdis control the water in the river with her Magic.
Aurdis' magic energy was already mixed into the river's water. So it is easy for her to manipulate the river water.
Even Aurdis didn't use any movement to do it. She just simply used her will.
Aurdis lifted very small water droplets from the flowing river.
Thus, none of Aarakocra noticed that she was gathering water above them.
Aurdis snapped her fingers. Then the water immediately fell on the Aarakocra.
The water soaked their wings and feather. The Aarakocra fell to the ground with a loud thud around Aurdis.
Aurdis looked at them from above Star's back. A thin grin appeared on her lips.
Then she used Magic to be able to communicate with them.
"(Who gave the Magic bracelet to you?)" Aurdis asked while looking at Kliuel.
Atar walked to get closer to Kliuel. The leader of the Aarakocra group immediately acted to fight back.
But he couldn't move his whole body. The water that previously only wet his body now hardens and freezes the Aarakocra.
They now heard Aurdis' voice like she was speaking in their language. This made them both amazed and shocked.
"(Tell me!)" Aurdis started to raise her voice. "(I don't know why you guys suddenly attacked me. But I don't care. I just need to know who gave you the bracelet.)"
As soon as she saw the Magic circle, Aurdis immediately knew that the Magic was definitely not their own.
Aurdis had seen that magic circle symbol. It was the Magic belonging to the Elf.
Aurdis formed a grip with her finger. Then the ice that wrapped around the Aarakocra's neck tightened.
"Ugh..."
"(If you don't say it now, you will die. Then I can ask your friends,)" Aurdis said threateningly.
The Aarakocra who saw their leader tormented growled furiously.
They wanted to help him right away but the ice on their bodies wouldn't allow them to do anything. Apart from watching in desperation.
