"Y-You actually rescued me?!" Furoh asked in shock as I brought him back to my side.
"I was telling you all this time that I could easily detect a massive monster in front of you and you weren't listening!" I replied.
"Eh? You never said anything like that! You were acting like a creep this whole time!" he refuted.
"Ugh, give me a break…" I murmured with a sigh.
Before I could even relax, the massive, almost 10-meter-tall Thunderous Tyrannosaur roared back at us. Its massive jaws opened widely as it unleashed a thunderous roar, its entire body exuding a powerful aura. From the looks of it, this monster wasn't going to let us mess around while it was present.
It began rushing at us at fast speeds, making the entire place tremble. I quickly extended grass vines around Furoh and stuck him over my back, carrying him around like a backpack before running away from the Tyrannosaur!
Its feet dug through the floor, making everything tremble. This monstrous being was really something else entirely. Plus, it wasn't something like the six-limbed lizard… No, this thing was a Tier 4 monster, probably high-ranked at that!
But how come there's such a strong monster around the village? Wouldn't the people have already noticed it? what's going on?
Ah… I then realized that I ended up running outside of the barrier that protected the village!
The massive beast rushed forward towards me, beginning to unleash lightning bolts at fast speeds, clashing with thunderbolts whenever I went.
I evaded each attack, but lightning was its natural element, and this thing produced it out of its body. It wasn't just magic! Damn it! Though… I wish I could have that awesome ability.
Oh, wouldn't it be nice to have this guy as a familiar as well? Then again, this one's a monster, and it clearly wants to eat me… I better not try the same strategy that I did with Furoh, this guy seriously looks like he's not pleased with me.
A massive thunder fell on me out of nowhere. I couldn't shield myself properly, but a sudden wave of light covered me gently.
Suddenly, a giant eyeball with angelic wings emerged by my side.
Wait, this is my mom's familiar!
"Oculus, or something, right?" I asked.
It didn't speak and it was pretty creepy, but I guess it was assigned to protect me.
The Tyrannosaur continued to follow me from behind as I was forced to run back to the dome made out of magic. It was still far away because I ran away too much.
Oculus was keeping me protected, but it wasn't attacking the beast. It seems like it has own set of commands… can't it easily kill this monster?! What are you waiting for?!
"Oculus! Kill that thing!" I shouted.
"Wait, were you told by mother ONLY to protect me and nothing more?!" I asked soon after.
Suddenly, a massive number of thunderbolts flew over Oculus, slowly weakening it and throwing it into the floor.
Wait! Is it weakened because it isn't close to mother? Are you kidding me?!
However, Oculus flew upwards again like nothing.
"You're a resilient bastard…" I murmured.
The monstrous Tyrannosaur followed me from behind once more, rushing behind me without stopping. It didn't have such an intention at all! In fact, the only thing it wanted was to kill me for some reason. Though, I wasn't planning on becoming its dinner either.
"Agh… Ignatius, help me out! Flare Breath!" I shouted.
I combined my Fire Magic with Ember and Ignatius' help as he sighed and aided me. Soon, a sudden change in my flames occurred as they shaped into a big draconic head and unleashed a deadly breath attack of flames, bathing the entire monster in the process.
The massive fire attack burned the head of the beast and made it growl in pain, but that didn't stop it. No, it only made it more angered, charging at me with even more speed. It then used its lightning to increase the power of its muscles, becoming faster! And deadlier!
"Aggh…! You're a persistent bastard!" I cried.
"H-Hurry up!!!" cried Furoh. He was behind me and was looking at the beast first hand.
"Don't worry, as long as Oculus is with us, we'll be protected… and look, the barrier is right in front of us!" I said in response.
The beast, however, suddenly leaped forward above us, and appeared right in front of us…
Its massive body made the entire place tremble.
Are you serious?! You appeared right in front of us, you bastard! What kind of tricks are you playing around?! I'm not in the mood…
It pointed its open jaws at us and tried to swallow us whole.
I moved faster though, and decided to jump over its nose.
The massive beast was surprised as I quickly jumped away from it once more, pushing it down into the ground with the entire force behind my almost-five-year-old body!
I crossed through the barrier, looking at the beast from behind defeated on the ground, roaring back at me with furious eyes of frustration.
Aquarina and Zack greeted me as I fell in front of the two.
"I'm back! I got him! Hehe. Ah, a guy just followed us, but he ended up biting the dust anyways," I said while standing and triumphantly showing Furoh with me.
"Uuggh… I'm… so dizzy…" he muttered.
"Y-You actually went to capture that thing?!" Zack exclaimed.
"But Sylphy…!" Aquarina said with a sigh.
"Come on guys. We're all in this together, like a team!" I told them as I hugged the two.
"You're not making any sense now…" muttered Zack.
"Sylphy, did that big lizard follow you?" asked Aquarina soon after.
"Yeah, it can't get through the barrier, though," I replied, looking at the lizard…
…cross through the barrier.
