reaching the fog area, talking a bit about the monsters that dwell in the fog and I don't want to be here anymore.

[andrius point of view]

Ok... Finally, we arrived at the area of ​​the fog to be able to go to the snowy area.

Honestly, I have a feeling that I'm going to find something that I don't want to find... but well, what else can be done.

A day has passed since my fight against Alba and Wutong, we decided to rest for most of the day following to finally go to the fog area because it is assumed that we will not be able to rest very well in that area.

And you will wonder why, well, according to Tsubasa, that area can affect our magical senses and no, I didn't teach it to her, she learned it before but she hasn't been using it since she had the curse since she used a lot of Mana to maintain it but now she can , then that area affects the senses due to its high concentration of mana in the fog in the area.

It doesn't affect them that much according to her but you can't feel it more than 5 meters around her.

Another thing is that due to the fog the sense of smell and sight are mostly diminished, the sense of smell is affected by the large amount of humidity in the air and the sight is clearly affected by the fog, so we have to be very careful since many monsters that they have lived there for a long time they learned to reduce the noise of their movements to make a surprise attack... seriously, when I went on a trip I didn't learn as many things as I do now... well, now I am in a place where I have a very good chance of that they kill me so the more details the better... right?.

So another good thing that I achieved yesterday was that I managed to raise the skill [transformation] to level 1 now I can transform into a werewolf even though, I haven't tried it yet because if I try it I would surely stay there longer and I want to continue traveling, also the cave that did not give me good vibes and with good reason since while we traveled I managed to feel a big tremor and hear a landslide in the direction of the cave... wow, it's good that we left.

Then after 6 hours of travel we managed to reach the "entrance" of the fog area, it was far but with my speed I managed to get there in less time, I have to say that it's scary at first sight and I swear I managed to see in the distance some trees moving... seriously what horror movie did this place come out of.

We have already entered and I don't know about those people who decide to visit places like this, it really isn't worth it, those people have something wrong with their heads, even I am regretting deciding to come here.

To calm me down a bit because seriously I might be more or less brave but I'm not cut out for this kind of scary stuff, I appreciate that there are no ghosts... I really hope there are no ghosts... please. (😈)

'So... tsubasa now if you can tell me what kind of monsters are normally found here?' - I asked since she didn't tell me exactly.

'Mmmm... here in the area of ​​the mist live several types of monsters that you won't find anywhere else or normally you wouldn't, among them are the goblins, some small green monsters, very ugly and not very intelligent, but those goblins only they are of normal range, but when they go to low range monsters they become hobgoblins their size varies between 1 meter and little at 2 meters they have more intelligence and are much stronger than goblins but they are rare since goblins do not last long alive, since they are the weakest race that there can be or well while they are alone' - he began to speak and even though he already knew this it will be for a long time.

By the way, here in the foggy area, my vision is very diminished at about 100 meters, if it is a lot being surrounded by fog, but my vision is much greater, having about 2 to 3 km of distance that I can see, but well, let's keep listening.

'Another is a variation of an evolution from an animal to a monster, they are monster minotaurs that evolved from common bulls, they are very large from 2 meters to 4 meters even being low rank monsters when they are high rank they can grow up to 15 meters but they can control their size at will, they are very strong, fast and have a very high defense they are also difficult to kill due to their great vitality but they are not very intelligent since most of them only think about killing even if there is a Minotaur in the interior area that have enough intelligence to start a conversation' - he said while I imagined what it would be like to fight a Minotaur in my werewolf form, even though, I still want to see what I look like in my werewolf form.

After that, he began to talk to me about different monsters, he spoke of one that he had seen when the one from the trees arrived, a treant, tree monsters that are normally pacifists but some gain the addiction of absorbing the blood of the monsters and even here they do not see it "so" bad but some don't hunt just for food and just become bloodthirsty monsters that love to kill anyone who crosses their path. (I think it's explained but well, the trees take nourishment from the blood of monsters that die near them and so they themselves can become low rank monsters but some don't resist and succumb and become "bad" treant)

'Oh... there is also a monster if it can be considered so that it is found mostly in these areas, these monsters are called specters, they are the souls of monsters that died corrupted by something either by a bad death or by death. I ate something I shouldn't, they are immune to physical and magical attacks unless you have an affinity to a spiritual element, Mmmm... what's wrong' - he said, remembering a monster and causing me to tremble with fear... if he I'm afraid of ghosts some problem at least I accept it.

'N-n-nothing just made me cold' - I said the first thing that came to my mind without remembering that I am immune to cold or almost immune.

'...' - they stared at me with a face of not believing me.

'Oh...' - Tsubasa, Kanna and Alba nodded understanding my reaction.

'Hey tsubasa that's a specter'-said wutong as he looked to the right.

We all turned around and saw a ghostly being to the right about 10 meters away... seriously, I want to go. (The being is as if they were seeing a very transparent dark silhouette that thanks to their enhanced senses they can differentiate from the environment)

I quickly got into a fighting stance just in case but you could see I was shaking... I can't even deny it anymore.

'Oh... I know there are many here but it's surprising that as soon as we entered we found one' - Tsubasa said as he saw the ghost and created a ball of blue fire that gives off a chilling aura and throws it at the ghost causing it to start to scream in pain as it began to burn and then disappear.

'...' - I stared at the scene wondering if they were so scary.

'That was a normal range specter they don't attack since they don't have the power to do it but a low range specter can attack you and possibly you can't defend yourself' - as if he knew what I'm thinking tsubasa spoke explaining the situation.

(Wraiths gain more distinctive form when they reach low rank and possibly gain a physical demi-body which makes it easier to kill without having a spirit item, though it is preferred to have as some can recover even if their heads are lopped off or the heart is pierced)

'Honestly... I don't want to get another one ever' - I said as I kept walking, I want to get out of here, I lost the desire to fight in this area.

They remained speechless as Alba and Wutong are looking around to see if they see anything while Kanna and Te Tsubasa do their thing.

Kanna is training the control of her mana, I don't know how she can do it in this situation I told her to stop but with these days that I was with her I learned that she is a genius and goes at her own pace, or she can control her mana very well emotions or hardly has yet I don't know.

Tsubasa is trying to recover after using that attack, because his curse makes it difficult for him to cast a spell with his affinity with spiritual fire, and then he gets a little headache for forcing it. , she didn't have to kill the specter even though for a monster with an affinity to a spiritual element they have the task of killing the specter but with her curse she shouldn't do it, but I think it's more like to help overcome my fear or so I think I'm also not very good at reading intentions.

Silvi has been sleeping and I can tell that her body is starting to absorb mana faster than before, the others also noticed, so it's possible that soon Silvi will complete her evolution to a low rank monster.

But hey... wish me luck to get through this difficult situation I find myself in... I really need it.

==========

this chapter was supposed to be about the story of andrius barrak but when i was writing the story my perfectionist side kicked in and as it happened with the first chapter of this fanfic i decided that i will better explain his rise and all that so i will upload from time to time the story of "andrius barrak: the hero of lightning" as a separate mini story right here... but hey, comment if you like the fanfic.

I also changed the part of the range, now the [F+++] is in the low range, so Andrius and Kanna still need to reach there and overcome it to reach the medium range.
