18. Landing on the Island

25 days have passed since the grandfather left the boat, nobody on the boat is in the mood to celebrate the looting of the Bashtar shipwreck, in the last days I have not been able to sleep well, I do not stop thinking about the grandfather and Mr. Dragan.

When we retired we could hear the roars of the battle between the grandfather and the beast, we also felt an energy so powerful that it shook me, it was such a monstrous power that we could feel it for a long time while we fled.

I just hope that that power is not that of the beast because if so I am sure that not even God could save grandfather.

As I thought about I heard a voice from behind.

"Dan, you must cheer up, the Captain will surely return soon and we will drink together while we eat meat that beast"

Mr. Garald always tried to comfort me up, Marcus was in the same state as me, but Mr. Samir was so occupied that he didn't have time to thinking.

I had a lot of free time, we were all eating cheese and dry food, Mr. Rishi is the one who was captaining the ship, Mr. Garald was the pilot and helmsman, and Mr. Ignite was occupying the position of maestre with the help by Sergei.

Fortunately, no one tried to mutiny, it was just the opposite everyone was very sad, supporting each other to cope with the fact that the three strongest men in the crew were not.

It took us 6 and a half days to get out of the cemetery, we fought against many groups of beasts, but this time we did not try to collect materials, the beasts were massacred by the cannons and the magical attacks before they could get close, we advanced without stopping but we still did not have the same speed as with grandfather as captain and Mr. Dragan as helmsman.

When we left the graveyard, it was night we were all tired physically and mentally, most of the fighters slept longer than normal, we were all calmer after leaving that fucking place.

We sailed for another 12 days before seeing land again, we reached the tropic islands, we waited for the night to end, and the next day we disembarked on the island.

Not an hour had passed when the first group of green demons attacked, they were humanoid creatures, with crab claws and lizard legs, they had 4 horns and from their chest to their chin they were covered in white hair, their back their legs and his hands were covered in emerald green

scales.

It was a group of 30, everyone in the crew began to indiscriminately slaughter the poor demons, during the rest of the day 6 other groups of demons attacked us, all were killed, after that the demons no longer approached us.

In the day we established a camp, we built houses to protect ourselves at night, we made a campfire and we hunted some beasts, because the green demons tasted gross, at night the strongest of the crew discussed what to do.

The final decision was to wait for 10 days to see if there was any news from the grandfather, Mr. Dragan and Master Roldan, while Garald, Ignite, and Samir would explore the nearby area.

Marcus was with me all day because they did not have to take inventory and he had a lot of free time, he wanted to take his time to distract himself.

Marcus and I used to train in the morning and in the afternoons we played on the beach, Mr. Rishi used to sing songs, as usual, Mr. Vedmid was meditating all day and Sergei and Yurem are training with each other.

On the fourth day, Mr. Ignite asked Marcus and me if we wanted to join the expeditionary group, we both accepted, we needed to be distracted, it has been 25 days since Grandpa separated from us.

I honestly don't have much hope that they will return, I don't know what will become of us when we return to Verf Blauw, thinking about that my eyes got wet, but I don't cry I had to be strong, stronger than the others, overcome this and live.

All day we were watching the boys kill the beasts that were approaching us, Mr. Ignite was pointing out the name of the beasts that appeared and what was their weakness.

After walking for a long time on the island, we returned to the camp as it was night, we sat together near the bonfire when Mr. Garald's group arrived.

Everyone in the group looked very excited, it seems they found something good.

Mr. Garald approached us and began to speak.

"We find out why the green demons came out of their habitat"

"Why was it?" Mr. Ignite asked.

"An extreme degree beast, it is an earth lizard, we did not find the specimen but we found its tracks, it must be in the center of the island"

"How big is it?" asked one of the crew.

"The hole we found is 5 meters in diameter" answered Mr. Garald.

"Then his body must be at least 5 meters," said Mr. Ignite.

"Let's hope Samir's team returns and we decide what to do," Garald replied.

After that we talked about various things, Mr. Ignite talked to me about the weaknesses of the beasts that inhabited this island, I paid attention to every word he said.

When Mr. Samir arrived, he sat down with the group and we began to talk about what we would do now that we discovered the reason why the green demons left their habitat.

After arguing for a while at the end they decided that we will wait the end of the 10 days, then if they did not return in that time we would form groups to search for the tunnels that the beast has created and kill him.

When night came, Marcus and I went to sleep, to wait another day, we still hoped that Grandpa would return, although we knew that was quite difficult.

When I woke up the next day we went out to train but at my training place was Mr. Ignite and Mr. Vedmid.

Mr. Vedmid had an annoyed face and Mr. Ignite had a satisfied smile, he seems to be planning something.

"Dan today you will learn to fight," he said in a serious voice

"I know how to fight" I answered.

"No, you only know how to practice with Marcus, the last time the Marshall brat beat you up, if you only fight with people like Marcus you can never beat anyone"

"The enemies do not stay waiting for the attacks, they will attack you, you must learn to fight against all kinds of enemies"

"On the other hand Marcus, your base is very good, thanks to your training with Dan you can contain many types of enemies, Dan is one of the most complete fighters I have seen, he uses his weapon like a spear, a halberd, a fighting stick and in all kinds of things that he imagines "

"That allows you to improve fast because your skills are defensive, but it is not all about defending, you must learn to attack or in your case counterattack"

"Although now a fight between you and Dan can last for more than 15 minutes, you still cannot do anything to cause him great damage, you will lose 6 times in 10 fights and you will only win 4"

"Although Dan is skilled you are also skillful, however, each enemy is different and not everyone thinks the same, you have become accustomed to the way Dan acts and that is detrimental to someone who specializes in defending"

"That is why today I will help you a little, both will fight with some beasts of the island, for that reason Vedmid is here, to heal him in case they get hurt but remember even Vedmid is not omnipotent, they have to be careful not to lose any limb or die "
