Rebirth Of Abium 93 Chapter 93: Battle With A Shape-Shifter

A few hundred meters away from Fennelis's group, a figure stood while watching the entire scene with widened eyes. He stood on the nearby two-storied house's roof terrace and gripping a magical telescope in his right hand. He had pale skin, hooded jade eyes, and curly chestnut-colored hair. He was none other than lean guard captain Piers, whom Fennelis and Roysia had met before.

"I didn't expect that child from oracle would be this much strong. Hmm, those adventures also joined them makes the plan to be more complicated. For now, I will report it directly to his excellency. After all, they didn't even know who is the real enemy. Let's see if she really has the power to pose a threat to his eminence." He said with a cold smile and soon glanced at the little white mouse on his shoulder.

"Kill all of them. But bring both beasts body back. We need to extract the divine essence from their bodies." Piers ordered that mouse, and the next instant, its figure changed into a bat-like appearance. Following that, it followed after their direction while flapping its grayish-black wings.

Meanwhile, Fennelis and others soon arrived near the northern gate. But they didn't get near to the entrance. Instead, they quickly moved to the three-meter high wall and climbed up. It didn't take long for them to cross that wall without alerting anyone.

'We have to hide our ident.i.ty for the next few days and see what happens. If the enemy is a smart guy, then he will not put any bounty on us. Because placing a bounty on us not only expose his ident.i.ty but attract attention from many people.' Fennelis sighed inwardly.'

'But If the enemy puts any bounty on us, then we have to return to Peral kingdom and see for Nicolaus's or that half-elf kid's help.'

Soon she cast those thoughts away and asked Hooker who was more familiar with this kingdom.

"Mr. Hooper, which is the safest city for us to stay hidden for the next few weeks? The enemy may have underestimated last time, but now they knew about our real strength. Well, they may be already watching our movements right now." Her words made adventurers and even Roysia to startled a little.

"Then we should better move to Silverland city. That town is filled with adventurers and always crowded with more people. Almost half a million peoples are residing there due to the current civil war." Hooper's words surprised both Fennelis and Roysia.

"How come that city is not affected by civil war?" Roysia asked in surprise. This time, Selma chuckled and responded with a bright smile on her face.

"Because that city is under a second-tier mage's control. I heard he is a roaming mage from the north and staying there for the last two decades. And no one has any guts to make trouble inside that city."

Her words made both of them to breathed out a sigh of relief.

'Hmm, I also have to give that letter to Siverland's adventurers' guild, right? That makes my job easier.' Fennelis thought to herself.

Soon, the group directly walked towards the mud path and followed the route towards the Silverland.

"How many days will it take to reach that city?" Roysia asked while knitting her eyebrows.

"It will take five to six days, Lady. We may also meet bandits on the way." Smith warned everyone.

Soon the group continued their journey. When the sky was starting to become brighter, Umi also woke up from exhaustion. From time to time, they met a few obstacles, but soon the group reached near to that Silverland's domain. During the journey, they noticed that most of the farming lands were filled with greenery, but those plants were not agricultural plants but simply weeds. Due to civil war, most of the farmers simply didn't farm anything. They knew once the war starts, these crops would be the first ones to gets destroyed. All those farmers were waiting for the result of this civil war. As Fennelis's group arrived in a random village, they started to notice strange gazes from everywhere. Without minding those gazes, the group soon entered into one small merchant shop.

But soon, their expression stiffened up as they noticed the wanted poster of Umi's face at the board. It was the picture of Umi releasing that Ice spell while freezing hundreds of soldiers. At the bottom of that poster, 100 white gold coin as bounty amount. Near to her poster were other posters, and their bounties were around 20 white gold coins. But what made their expression gloomy was, they saw the light church's symbol at the corner of those posters.

"The enemy used light church's help to make a move. Also, I didn't expect the enemy would put my daughter as a primary suspect." Fennelis muttered with a shocking face.

'But why did they put such a low amount on our heads? Are they afraid of alerting the light church higher-ups? From the poster, It means the enemy watched her casting that ice attack spell from afar.' She thought to herself and asked Roysia with a frown.

"What should we do now?"

"If we had known this, we should have moved to Peral kingdom. Now, I don't think the enemy will let us escape that easily." Hooper paused for a second and continued. "I think its best to quickly arrive at Silverland city and hides there until everything soothes down."

"That's the only option." Roysia nodded with a grim tone and quickly walked out of that merchant's shop. They didn't stop anywhere and continued to move towards Silverland's direction hastily.

Soon, the dusk arrived, and the group chose to camp near to the large paperbark maple tree. Surrounding them were lands filled with weeds that were grown near to a youthful river.

As they about to get ready to built tents, Umi and Nadine stood up abruptly.

"Enemy?" Fennelis, who had always been on high alert, instantly asked while unsheathing her weapon.

Nadine nodded with a solemn tone and quickly gripped her dagger. At the same time, Roysia, Hooper, Selma, and Smith also became startled and get ready for any attack.

"Umi, take out your scimitar. The enemy must be felt afraid of your spell and might try to kill you first." Fennelis said with a grim tone. Umi also nodded her head and instantly took out the scimitar.

At the same time, Umi's eyes caught a ray of the invisible blade moving towards her head from the sky from afar.

"Grrrr." An irritating growl came out of her mouth, and soon her figure started to transform. In an instant, her body began to grow taller and changed into a fox-like face with golden fur covering her.

Next instant, she shot towards the sky using her two golden legs while avoiding that invisible air blade in mid-air and thrust her scimitar using her right hand.

CLANG!

A spark appeared up in the sky along with a clanging sound, and everyone saw a two-meter tall humanoid figure with bat wings blocking her scimitar using a black sword. Soon, both Umi and that humanoid slowly backed away while landing on the ground, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Within the next second, they saw another silver-colored humanoid fox figure dashed towards that bat-winged creature at a fast speed. It was Fennelis. The Adventurers could tell quickly; her speed was almost equal to sixth tier warriors, which made them even more perplexed. The only one who was showing calm expression was Roysia because she had already seen their strength during the fight against goblin attacks and chuckled inwardly.

As they were about to join the fight suddenly, an echo sound came out from that bat-winged creature's bracelet and made everyone fell on the ground. All of them felt their heads became dizzy and headache starting to appear. But the ones who got affected mostly were Umi and Fennelis.

Both almost fell unconscious and barely able to move their hands. Fennelis felt intense pressure over her head, and tears starting to pour out from her eyes. Slowly she saw that humanoid creature moving towards her child with a wicked grin on its face. Soon its figure changed into the creepy looking black thing with two empty white eyes.

'NO! It's going to kill Umi!' Panic appeared on Fennelis's face and started at that creature and that bracelet with a hateful glare. At the same time, that shape-shifting creature arrived in front of Umi and thrust its sword towards her at high speed.

But just as the sword was about to touch Umi's body, an icy needle flew from Fennelis's silvery hand and directly entered that creature's hand where that artifact was. As Fennelis saw that bracelet earlier, she made a guess and thought of breaking it using her innate spell.

Creak!

The next instant, it broke into multiple pieces, and at the same time, Umi broke free from that invisible power and dodged that sword swiftly.

Everyone felt the crushing invisible power disappeared and started to recover their senses.

Meanwhile, that shape-shifting creature also turned invisible as it noticed that the artifact was ruined entirely.

Fennelis also instantly arrived near to Umi's side and immediately stared vigilantly at the surroundings while checking Umi's body.

Once she noticed there was no wound on her body, she breathed out a sigh of relief. Soon, Roysia and others also ran towards both of their direction.

Suddenly, Umi, who just now recovered from the shock, opened her eyes with icy expression and cast the zero tier ice needle spell towards her right side.

Bang!

The needle-like ice moved at high speed and exploded onto something, and soon white smoke covered that ghostly figure.

The same instant, everyone instantly dashed towards that half invisible humanoid creature at a fast speed and attacked one after another from every direction.

As that shape-shifting creature noticed its' stealth plan was ruined, it started to back away and began to change its appearance once again.

Slowly, its blackish creepy smiling face began to change, and soon that creature's whole body started to expand like a balloon.

Soon, its creepy face changed into the green lizard-like look with two dark green wings, lizard body, and slowly it turned into Wyvern. It stood there a ten meters away from them with domineering expression and let out an angry roar.

The whole area shook by that sudden roar, and soon everyone gripped their swords tighter with sweaty hands. All of them heard about wyverns many times, but never even seen them. Only Fennelis and Umi showed calm expression.

'Really troublesome. It can even change into a wyvern. Hmm, but why didn't it transformed into some mythical dragon?' Fennelis furrowed her eyebrows and quickly dashed forwards. Unlike the last time, she met Wyvern in the undead plane; now, she was a n.o.ble rank beast kin. Moreover, Umi was also a royal rank beast kin.

"Umi, observe my every movement. It will help you when you are facing enemies alone." Fennelis said and quickly arrived in front of that three-meter tall lizard, leaving blurry images behind. Even in the darkness, her every action became visibly clear to everyone. In a blink, she jumped up while avoiding poison breath came from that Wyvern's mouth and landed at that creature's backside.

Slash!

Without hesitation, she slashed her icy coated sword at that Wyvern's right-wing and directly cut it.

Thud!

"RAAAWWWW!" It wailed in pain and started to move its large head towards back to bite Fennelis. At the same time, Roysia and Hooper arrived at the front of that Wyvern's neck and directly thrust their sword inside. Two of their swords were filled with fire and darkness elemental energy and directly ripped its tough skin in a blink. Red blood splattered on the ground. It let out another painful roar while changing its head towards both of them.

Bam!

But before it could open its mouth to attack them with poison breath, Smith strikes it with war hammer and smashing its head on to the ground. But that's not the end. Nadine and Selma flew from the sides and directly thrust their weapons towards its eyes and blinded them in a blink.

Before that creature could think what had happened, everyone pounced on to that large body and wholly made it immovable.

Thud!

After a constant attack from everyone, that large creature's body fell on to the ground leaving a small earthquake behind.

"d.a.m.n, this is the dangerous monster I ever faced in my entire life," Selma said with a trembling tone. Selma could still see her legs were still trembling due to this fighting, and she slowly moved near to Umi and sat near to her.
