Chapter 927 - 927. Looking At The Moon
There had been a little worry from Walker while they traveled. This was because Fleur was still resting herself on his shoulder next to where Onyx had become his tattoo form. He thought that she might had an adverse effect to the cold or fall off due to the travels, not to mention the battles. But he had found his worry was unwarranted. Fleur had cutely been poking Onyx in his tattoo form and giggling while holding on to Walker's ear or hair to stay seated. The flow of natural mana toward her had only increased after leaving the city.
Walker would have gone back to sleep after his portion of the night watch with the rest of the party, but Fleur was pulling on his hair for attention. "What's wrong?" He wasn't feeling anything strange around them and could not see any enemies. But Fleur was still trying for his attention.
He took her in his hand from his shoulder and found that she was pointing up at the full moon. She made a show of crossing her legs the same way Walker did when he meditated to understand the mana around him. "Ah, we should meditate? I can do that, I already slept some so we can do that together."
After finding a place next to the fire, Walker sat down with his legs crossed and Fleur in his hands copying him. The flow of natural mana was definitely stronger now than before. Walker could only guess that it was the strengthened water elemental mana from the full moon causing the other elemental mana to be able to combine in to natural mana more easily. Therefore, he was able to spend a full hour absorbing natural mana efficiently with Fleur doing the same. Through this time they managed to absorb a significant amount of natural mana. So much so that Fleur began to show off her ability to float around Walker at will again.
They two would have continued this in to the morning if they hadn't been graced with the sudden howling from nearby. There was no need to wake everyone up because the howls were waking people up already. "Do you think that is a frost wolf pack? Or have there been sightings of the glacial wolves already?" One of the adventurers had encountered a lone glacial wolf before and knew it was a much more powerful special of wold than a frost wolf.
"I don't know. Those howls are much louder than they should be. Usually, there is one loud howl and some small ones. But instead-" One large howl echoed through the area cutting the other adventurer off. No matter what they were they were nearby and it seemed they had cornered some form of prey.
The guards and adventures worked swiftly to make a tight circle around the carriages. "Listen here! Get the herbs burning to deter whatever monsters they are. My adventurers will build up the fires to scare them off. I don't want a single thing getting near us tonight!" Clara acted as if she had never been asleep in the first place. Walker could only idolize her for a moment due to this prompt ability.
Soon the herb infused smoke stung their noses and suffocated everyone slightly. But it was necessary. The strong smell was very hard on a human nose but even more so on a monsters. The only reason Midnight and Onyx could handle it was that they were used to being around stronger smells. They had been out adventuring around smellier monsters and even the human city for some time.
The glow of the bonfires sparking up higher and higher illuminated everything around their large camp. This put some more at ease since they would be able to see the monsters of they came near. The loud howling continued along with some echoing growls. The monsters had most certainly found prey and were eating.
The eerie silence that caught everyone off guard was enough to make them shiver. The sounds seemed to slowly resume as a breeze came through. There didn't seem to be any danger this night as the sun began to peek over the horizon and push away the minor fear everyone had.
The group sent Gil and Midnight ahead as soon as the sun had risen and everyone had begun to clean up camp. When Gil returned with Midnight at his side he did not look as if he had found anything good. "I don't know what kind of wolf that was, but whatever it was had a very large paw. There were eight or nine large wolf paws and one massive. Some kind of alpha. If I knew what a glacial wolf paw looked like I would have a better idea. I would say it is probable though. I don't have any idea about the largest one through…" It was a worry for them to know a larger monster was in the area. Especially since it seemed to have control over seven or eight other wolf species monsters.
"We will deal with it in time. Just keep a sharp eye and if we know they are around we will cat." Walker didn't have much to say since he couldn't spot them. He knew that Gil and Midnight could try and track them if the need arose, but for now, they didn't need to.
The information was passed on to everyone and they all started to speak about their own experiences with wold type monsters. Spoke myths and legends about giant wolves or other such creatures came out while the train of carriages left their temporary camp.
"We have a lot of ground to cover today. We aim to get to the new city early! Stay in formation, walk fast, and I swear the next person that mutters a fairytale about wolves will get a demotion!" Clara had no nonsense when it came to their travel plans.
