As we see from the title, the snake and the mirror are the two most important things in the story. This homeopathic doctor encountered a snake, the snake fell on the doctor. When the snake saw its reflection in the mirror, it was more interesting in that and the doctor’s life was saved.

The group of Kobolds began to coalesce around their leader, a taller than average green and red Kobold wearing a gold chain necklace and carrying a wide-bladed cutlass.

He held up his sword, "On me! On me! Can't you see it's wounded! It is ours to kill!"

The other Kobolds roared and held their weapons aloft. The nearest Kobold to the snake charged right at it with a spear and actually managed to pierce its scale. The furious snake snapped around as soon as it felt pain and the Kobold managed only one terrified look before a terrible pink mouth engulfed his upper body, swallowed, lifted and gulped the Kobold down. A bulge slowly sunk down the snake's neck joining five other bulges that ran the length of its body which Rain realised were the other five other Kobolds missing from the twenty Opal had expected.
 
The leader ignored this and busily arranged his Kobolds into a shield formation, a line of seven Kobolds carrying heavy plank shields while a line of seven more behind them held spears that poked between the shields. "Slow forward!" cried the leader and the shield line moved.

The snake hissed in anger and snapped at the air in front of them, trying to get at the Kobolds but fearing the sharp spears that tracked its face.

The wall neared and the snake backed up hissing and spitting as the sharp spears jabbed at its scales. The leader Kobold dived between the shields and with a twisting slash carved a jagged line up the snake's side. The snake screamed and lurched backwards, its coiled body oscillating and forming up to wrap around itself protectively. 

The motion shifted and brushed the sands aside revealing smooth white and round objects hidden beneath. Eggs. The snake realised what it had done and moved its body to protect the eggs, but the spears came on relentlessly. With blind fear in its eyes the snake roared once more and seemingly having decided it had no better option it dived at the shield wall, risking everything in an act of protective desperation. One, two, three spears punctured deep into the snake's body, but it made it through! It crashed down on the shields with a roar of victory instantly crushing three of the Kobolds below its weight. Its coiled body swept through the sand like a whip, once, twice, three times, an unstoppable force fueled by pure outrage. Kobolds tumbled before its scales, smashed aside with broken bones.

The Kobold leader roared and flames exploded from his open mouth in a cone that washed up against the snake and engulfing part of its body in fire. The snake thrashed in pain and tried to escape the flame but the Kobold tracked its body with his head blackening and crisping its scales in a huge swathe.
 
It seemed like the snake was done for but the leader Kobold was clearly starting to struggle. His expression was strained and his brow furrowed in concentration, reddening with effort. Suddenly he choked and the flame winked out. He looked on in horror as the blackened but still perfectly mobile and increasingly angry snake roared and lunged for him. 

The Kobold deflected the scything teeth with his cutlass and on the back foot he retreated as the snake repeatedly snapped and bit at him looking to end him before he could breathe fire once again. The leader backed up against a particularly large boulder and was left with nowhere to flee as the snake cornered him.

"For blood and riches!" howled the Kobold as he went for one last desperate gambit, diving under the snake's swift jaw and raising his cutlass to stab up into its soft underbelly. Unfortunately, the snake saw it coming and twisted from his reach. Its head whipped around and its teeth took him in the side. Blood splattered across the white sand and the Kobold, minus his leg and a good chunk of his side, was tossed against the large boulder where he slumped to the ground leaving a bloody smear. The snake hissed in triumph and reared up above the Kobold, gloating in its well-earned victory. The Kobold spat blood and raised his sword from where he lay in the sand, the tip of his blade wobbling as it pointed at the serpent.

"I hope you choke on me you shitty snake, I-"

A shadow dropped from the top of the boulder and landed on top the snake's neck at the base of its skull. A grizzly crunch met the Kobold's ears and the snake thrashed in panic. Another crunch, the snake screamed in agony. One more bone splintering sound and the snake went lip and fell to the ground like wet rope.

A black-furred monster pulled its head from the bucket sized hole it had made in the snake's neck, shards of spine dropping from its muzzle. Blood washed down its front and hung in grizzly strands from its teeth. The Kobold looked into its yellow eyes and saw a hunger unlike anything he had ever known, a beastly greedy hunger that knew no limits.

His eyes drifted to his soldiers groaning in the sand, nursing broken or shattered bones or crawling away.

"G-get away!" He called blood burbling up with every word. A number of the Kobolds looked up. "R-Run you fools! Flee! It's something- something worse! Run for your lives!"

A flicker of green at his side and a knife appeared at his throat.

"They're already dead, they just don't know it yet. They are all going in my wolfies belly, every last one. Save your breath for the gods."

The Kobold could only watch in dismay as the evil wolf thing went from injured Kobold to injured Kobold and extinguished their life with a snap of his jaws. They could do nothing, even as they realised what was happening and tried to crawl or limp away the wolf simply pounced on them and ended their lives. There was no honour here, only death.

"Y-you could have let them live…"

The Goblin ignored him and joined the wolf thing, helping it strip the bodies of his soldiers. The Kobold watched as it began to devour his people. He couldn't believe his eyes. The monster did not simply eat, it consumed. Sliding whole sections of limbs into its jaws then biting and swallowing then continuing onward into the torso, its teeth scissoring through scale and flesh, making whole chunks of his soldiers disappear with casual ease. The monster's stomach bulged with his people. Surely the beast had to stop soon, which it did, and then it sat. The Kobold watched, with rising dismay, as the stomach of the wolf thing trembled and then began to shrink down flat.

"What fresh horror has this dungeon wrought upon us," he murmured as his eyes slowly drifted shut and darkness bloomed.

Mo Fan was stunned.
He had heard many tales about the Black Totem Snake from Tangyue. The Black Totem Snake was indeed looking after her, just like her senior.
However, Mo Fan was shocked that the Black Totem Snake would care about Tangyue so much. Most demon beasts would have already lost the ability to think rationally after suffering from the bruises and wounds, and would go berserk.
However, the Black Totem Snake did not lose control of himself. In fact, he seemed rather lost when he saw Tangyue bursting into tears.
This was Mo Fan's first time sensing such emotion from the utterly terrifying gigantic snake. He was treating Tangyue like his own kid, not allowing her to suffer at all. He was scared to hear her crying, even though he was still enduring the pain from the Super Magic Formation!
"Do you believe it? Do you believe a totem beast like that is the source of the plague and the disaster?" said Mo Fan to Eldest Senior Sister Leng Qing beside him.
"Does me believing make any difference?" Leng Qing's voice was filled with a hint of unwillingness.
As a matter of fact, she was more inclined toward the Totem Guardians side. Unfortunately, the terrified people of the city wanted the Black Totem Snake dead as soon as possible. The Su Causeway was crowded with Advanced Magicians. They were waiting for the Black Totem Snake to become weaker, so they could flank him from all directions and eliminate the Ruler-level demon beast.
--------
On the causeway, Councilman Zhu Meng and Councilman Luo Mian totally ignored the Black Totem Snake's gentle behavior. They were waiting for the Black Totem Snake to weaken.
"Shall we attack now?" asked Councilman Zhu Meng impatiently.
The West Fortress was under attacked by a pack of White Magic Falcons, a grave threat to the city. Zhu Meng had no time to waste any further. He had to eliminate the Black Totem Snake to get rid of the plague, then hold back the White Magic Falcons.
"Don't, we can't afford to underestimate the Black Totem Snake. If you withdraw the Lightning Punishment Formation, more than half of your men would die in order to kill him. His power is still too much for us to handle even though he is currently going through ecdysis!" Councilman Luo Mian was more familiar with the Black Totem Snake than the others.
Councilman Zhu Meng hesitated. He glanced at the Head of the Royal Guards, Wu Pingjing beside him.
Wu Pingjing said with a nod, "Councilman, we can't rush it. Let's strike after the Lightning Punishment Formation has tortured him a while longer."
Councilman Zhu Meng lowered his hand and decided to wait it out.
However, a brief moment later, the Royal Guard Li Jin hurriedly came up to Zhu Meng and blurted out without saluting, "Councilman, West Fortress is requesting backup!"
Councilman Zhu Meng frowned. He glanced at the Black Totem Snake which was still trapped within the nine lightning halberds and said, "Give us some time, we need to kill the snake first."
"It's an emergency. A Ruler-level demon beast had appeared among the White Magic Falcons. Our line of defense had crumbled due to the betrayal of the Heavenly Eagles. We totally lost our air power. Only Advanced Magicians are able to stop the army of White Magic Falcons. The fortress has summoned every Advanced Magician nearby, but it's still not enough to hold off the invasion of the White Magic Falcons. Without support, the demon beasts would soon appear in the sky above the city. When that happens..." said Li Jin.
"Is it really that serious?" Councilman Zhu Meng was stunned.
"Without the Heavenly Eagles, the soldiers guarding the fortress are totally useless!" said Li Jin.
The Elder of the Magic Court Li Tian glanced at Councilman Zhu Meng, who was hesitant after hearing the shocking news, "We can't afford to lose any time. Councilmen, please bring the Judges of the Magic Court and the Royal Guards to the frontline at West Fortress at once!"
"No, we have to kill the beast first!" stated Councilman Luo Mian with a loud tone all of a sudden.
Zhu Meng was puzzled.
"The Black Totem Snake's endurance is shocking. We might have to wait until late at night before his stamina is depleted. It's better to attack him by then. If we attack him now, it will result in a great number of casualties. Without enough Advanced Magicians, we won't be able to provide enough support to the front line. Hangzhou will truly suffer a terrible disaster.
"The Lightning Punishment Formation has the beast trapped. It will not be able to break free from the strongest entrapment Spell among all Super Spells in just one or two days. We should focus on the invasion now, then kill the beast once the city is safe!" said Elder Li Tian.
Councilman Luo Mian pulled a long face. He glanced at the severely injured Black Totem Snake, and took another glance at Councilman Zhu Meng.
Councilman Zhu Meng was the one who had authority over the Magicians. The strength of his Royal Guards was astounding. Therefore, he was the person making the final decision...
"Since we're running out of time, we should take the risk to kill the beast at once. With the Royal Guards here, he won't be able to resist much longer," said Councilman Luo Mian.
"Wait!" Councilman Zhu Meng raised his hand.
"Zhu Meng, we have to kill him now to prevent any changes to the plan," said Luo Mian.
"To the front line at once!" ordered Zhu Meng sternly.
"This..." Luo Mian reacted strangely.
"Head of the Royal Guards Wu Pingjing, listen up! Bring the Royal Guards to the front line of West Fortress at once! If I see a single White Magic Falcon trespassing into the safe zone, I'll hold you responsible!" declared Councilman Zhu Meng firmly.
"Affirmative!"
Wu Pingjing leapt into the air and flew into the sky above the causeway as three pairs of wings appeared on his back. Each wing was ample and long, fully extended. Each beat produced a gentle flow, pushing Wu Pingjing into the sky...
"Six wings... This Head of the Royal Guards' strength is a bit too terrifying!" Mo Fan stared after Wu Pingjing who was disappearing into the sky.
Following Wu Pingjing's summon, the Royal Guards immediately rose into the sky after him!
The causeway had lots of powerful Magicians on station. They either cast a Wind Element Advanced Spell to summon Wind Wings on their backs, took out their Wing Equipment and adeptly flew into the sky, or Summoned their flying mounts to soar into the sky...
The Royal Guards who were holding their positions on the causeway moments ago had all flown into the distance. They quickly flew west, with Wu Pingjing leading in front. The sight was rather spectacular, making those who had yet to possess any flying ability quite jealous!
Speaking of which, how powerful exactly was the Black Totem Snake that was being trapped within the Lightning Punishment Formation...
The causeway was crowded with many experts, and the Black Totem Snake was already weakened due to the ecdysis and the Lightning Punishment Formation. However, the two Councilmen still assumed it was a great risk to kill it now?
Either way, the Black Totem Snake's life was spared for now!
Mo Fan was about to walk over to Tangyue when he saw Leng Qing glaring at Councilman Luo Mian, as if she were trying to peek into the cunning old man's mind.
"Big sis, what's wrong?" asked Mo Fan.
"I have a feeling that this entire incident isn't as simple as it looks," said Leng Qing grimly.


He woke up in a familiar world that had vastly changed.

His familiar school had become a mystical school that teaches magic, encouraging everyone to become a mighty magician.

Outside the city, many wandering magical beasts and monsters attacked and preyed on humans.

His world of advanced science changed into one that praised magic. Despite this, his ambition in life, and his social status remained the same; one of the dregs of the society with a struggling father and a disabled step sister that couldn’t walk.

However, Mo Fan found that when most people could only practice a single major element of magic, he was a Versatile Mage!

the chosen six to lead his army to protect his people band to fight for his land

Yi Yun was rendered somewhat speechless when he heard the scholarly man flaunt himself. Why were these people who had taken the test as many as seven times qualified to do it again? It was no wonder the test was packed with so many candidates. Many people who failed the first time would come again, but wasn't that a waste of manpower?
From Yi Yun's point of view, the Myriad God Ridge's test must have been very stringent. Perhaps, there might be several rounds of selection. Those that failed fell very short of the standards required so, no matter how many times they came, it was pointless.
But very quickly, Yi Yun understood why the Myriad God Ridge did not mind allowing warriors to participate in the test numerous times. Anyone who registered needed to pay a registration fee of ten Spirit Jade for a test token. As there were so many people, about seven to eight thousand of these registration tokens would be handed out. According to his calculations, that meant that every test that was held gave the Myriad God Ridge an income of seventy to eighty thousand Spirit Jade.
Upon realizing this, Yi Yun was somewhat at a loss for words. It was no wonder they held tests with such great ardor. There were large amounts of Spirit Jade to earn, so why not? It was only bad for people who were far off the mark but continued dreaming of entering the Myriad God Ridge. Who else was to blame if they were unable to see the truth for themselves?
"This line sure is long…"
A line of ten thousand people moved at a turtle's pace despite there being multiple registration points. Every person that registered needed to fill out a form with their particulars; therefore, Yi Yun estimated that it would take a day before it reached his turn.
Warriors had extremely good patience but this did not include Yi Yun. Especially considering the fact that he did not place much importance on this matter. He wasn't truly interested in joining the Myriad God Ridge, he was only interested in looking for Old Snake.
"Hey, do you need a registration token and particulars form? It's just a hundred Spirit Jade. There's no need to queue."
Amid the noisy environment, Yi Yun heard a voice. When he took a glance, a few shady people were mixed in the crowd, going around and selling the registration tokens.
When Yi Yun saw this, he was tickled. Weren't these scalpers?
In his previous life, at the ticket-selling booths of train stations or popular concerts, there were always scalpers who would sell tickets they had obtained through various means at a high price.
It seemed this world was not an exception to that.
Should I… also buy a scalped ticket?
Just as Yi Yun was pondering over the matter, he noticed Snake Girl watching him warily. The young lass seemed a little dimwitted at times but, whenever it had anything to do with money, she was like an alert mouse. She had a natural sensitivity towards any danger her money purse might suffer.
Yi Yun coughed dryly once and was about to speak.
But at that moment, Yi Yun suddenly heard an old man shout at the top of his lungs, "Great offer for registration tokens! Only ninety-eight! Ninety-eight, folks! You'll only suffer if you can't buy it and you'll be scammed if you don't buy it. Money transaction on the spot and the token will be yours."
When Yi Yun heard the shout, he nearly choked. Even other scalpers who was selling registration tokens were doing it covertly and privately asked examinees if they wanted one. No one was like the old man who seemed to wish he had a loudspeaker.
Yi Yun turned over to take a look and indeed, he saw a few Myriad God Ridge supervisors sporting extremely ugly expressions. Although earning Spirit Jade was a goal for holding a recruitment test, it was a more covert goal. On the surface, they were doing it as part of the process to select disciples for the Myriad God Ridge. It was an extremely solemn occasion. With the old fellow yelling like this, the atmosphere became more like a market.
Just as Yi Yun was considering whether or not to try negotiating with the scalper, or if they should spend ninety-eight Spirit Jade to buy a registration token, he noticed that Snake Girl's expression was a little odd.
"Uh… What's wrong?"
"That… That old man that's shouting about the great offer for the registration token… is my master… Old Snake…" Snake Girl said in embarrassment. 
She was rendered completely speechless by her master's actions. After being separated for so many years, she never expected to meet him again in such a manner.
"He's Old Snake?"
Yi Yun blinked his eyes. Although he had guessed that the expert would be somewhat different from others, the present situation left him a little dumbfounded.
Since he had found Old Snake, there was no need for him to participate in the Myriad God Ridge's recruitment test. With a thought, he walked to Old Snake.
"Ninety-eight Spirit Jade! Ninety-eight Spirit Jade! Registration token fire sale!" Old Snake was shouting with all his might when he suddenly saw Yi Yun walk over. His old face immediately beamed with a wide smile. He truly resembled a pimp from the brothels.
"How about it, young lad. Do you want to buy a registration token? After buying this registration token of mine, I guarantee you that it will become a golden opportunity, allowing for your meteoric rise. You will enter the sect within a decade, become a Guardian in a century, and an Elder in a millennium!"
"About that…" Yi Yun felt a dark cloud hanging over his head when he heard that. "Senior… I'm not here to buy a registration token. I was instructed by a friend to look for you."
"Friend? What friend?"
When the old man heard that Yi Yun wasn't there to buy a token, he immediately wiped away the smile on his face.
"Senior, can we speak in private?" Yi Yun said as he cupped his fists. 
Although the Old Snake in front of him was a little unique, he still gave him the required respect. Regardless of anything, a person introduced by Huan Chenxue must have something special about him.
"Say anything you would like to say here. Don't mess up my business. Right here, right now is the best time to sell registration tokens. Speaking of which… Eh?"
When the old man saw Snake Girl among the crowd, he immediately stared with widened eyes. "Lass, what are you doing here!?"
As the old man spoke, he left Yi Yun behind and walked towards Snake Girl. "Lass, it's been years since we have met. Your cultivation level has grown. How has it been? Has your robbing business been doing well over the past two years? Maybe now you have some spare cash, and you are here to give your master some alcohol money as a form of filial piety?"
Old Snake had a naturally loud voice. With him deliberately not hiding his voice, many warriors present immediately looked towards Snake Girl.
So the old man was the young girl's master.
At that moment, Snake Girl yearned for a hole in the ground to burrow in. When she first saw the old man, she was quite delighted. After all, she had not seen the old man in years. Although he was flawed in many ways, he had brought her up and taught her many things.
However, this sense of filial affection lasted less than three seconds. Snake Girl wished she could kick the old man away and claim that she did not know him.
This was too fucking embarrassing.
Although I am in the robbery business, will you not shout about it?
It was out there for all to see that the master was a scalper that capitalized on illicit trading, while the disciple was a petty thief that robbed. The master-disciple duo sure was one of a kind!
Indeed, there were people who could not help but laugh. The gorgeously-dressed youth that had participated in the Myriad God Ridge's test for seven times looked at Snake Girl with a teasing expression. He had planned on buying a scalped token, but now that there was an interesting development in the line, he was in no hurry. He could continue queuing in line.
"Old Man, darn you. I only have the bit of money I need for cultivation. How can I have any spare cash for you to go around squandering on vices?"
Upon mentioning that, Snake Girl turned infuriated. The old man was bent on being indecent. Although rearing a child was a tiring task, he had begun engaging in vices when she was in her teens. He did not do a single good deed.
Her cultivation all these years was arduous. She never had what she needed, and could only rely on herself to 'earn' it.

　　"It seems that the world is going to be lively!"
　　
　　Chu He took out a pot of tea, lightly pecked a mouthful, and let out an exclamation.
　　
　　However, for the time being, the hustle and bustle could not reach the inner frontier of the Xia Clan where Lin Cheng was located.
　　
　　"It's time to prepare for the breakthrough!"
　　
　　Chu He had no intention of trying to join in the hullabaloo.
　　
　　He began to prepare for the breakthrough.
　　
　　His cultivation level had long been perfected in the fourth revolution.
　　
　　He had also accumulated some years of heritage.
　　
　　But he felt that it was not enough.
　　
　　He had to be safe, to be foolproof.
　　
　　In twenty-two years, he would complete a hundred-year continuous sign-in and get an extra reward, the chance to sign in super.
　　
　　He felt that he could build up the base until that time.
　　
　　Let's see if the reward will be helpful to him by then.
　　
　　"The more qi there is in the place where you sign in, the richer the reward!"
　　
　　Chu He took out the Demon Subduing Tower.
　　
　　Xia clan territory, he has not yet found a place with particularly inverse qi luck, now the strongest qi luck, is Lin County.
　　
　　A qi golden dragon, the effect is visible to the naked eye.
　　
　　But it is not enough.
　　
　　Therefore, Chu He wants to artificially create a place with stronger luck.
　　
　　This matter, just fell on top of the Devil Suppression Tower!
　　
　　The suppression with a fierce aura, the body is tainted with countless iniquitous spirits, condensing qi luck.
　　
　　Chu He got up and put the sleeping Wang Ba on.
　　
　　To go somewhere to find those cultivation over the living spirits with fierce qi injustice.
　　
　　He has already thought of it.
　　
　　Can not be too far away, so as not to delay the time of continuous signing.
　　
　　So the matter can only be carried out within the boundaries of the Xia tribe.
　　
　　Looking at the familiar big river.
　　
　　Just woken up, still a sleepy-eyed look of the little wangba, small head flip, continuous shaking, instantly awake.
　　
　　What is this?
　　
　　To throw it in the river again?
　　
　　It has not done anything wrong?
　　
　　It has not grown up either?
　　
　　It does not want to!
　　
　　He doesn't want to be a wandering bastard!
　　
　　The little kingpin slipped from Chu He's hands, then stretched out his paws and hugged his thighs.
　　
　　A pair of green bean eyes, looking at him pitifully, hazy mist steaming, condensing a small teardrop.
　　
　　Chu He looked down, a speechless face.
　　
　　What is this bastard thing thinking!
　　
　　"All right! This time to come is not to let you go swimming in the big river, is I have something!"
　　
　　Chu He kicked it away.
　　
　　Not coming over to throw it?
　　
　　That's good!
　　
　　The little King Buster got up from the ground and followed behind Chu He with an exuberant face.
　　
　　The sad emotions just now were swept away, as if they had never existed.
　　
　　Chu River with the little Wang Ba, back hands, holding a fishing rod, a sack, step by step underwater.
　　
　　A step of ten miles, easy and leisurely.
　　
　　His spiritual power spread out, with him as the center, sweeping through the river domain.
　　
　　Once he found the existence of the ninth level of the Innate, the fishing rod was flung directly over.
　　
　　The fish hook crossed the distance of space and hooked a large snake that was feeding.
　　
　　Looking at the long, I do not know where it leads, the flickering cold light of the fishing line.
　　
　　And suddenly stuffed into its mouth foreign object.
　　
　　The snake was dumbfounded.
　　
　　A row of question marks on the brain.
　　
　　Then, before it can react.
　　
　　The line trembled, an irresistible force came, the snake could not help but be pulled by the line.
　　
　　It was panicking!
　　
　　It wanted to struggle, but it was desperate to find that all the movements were futile.
　　
　　"Zee!"
　　
　　The little kingfisher was originally swimming in the water, constantly turning in circles to amuse itself, but as soon as it saw the big long snake that Chu He had fished over, its body stopped, and its pair of mung bean eyes suddenly opened wide, and its eyes bulged out.
　　
　　A loud cry.
　　
　　Its body suddenly became larger, and with a whoosh, it soared towards the big long snake.
　　
　　This, this breath!
　　
　　The great snake looked at the terrifying golden kingpin that had suddenly grown larger and released a breath that made its soul tremble thither, red-eyed, raising the waves and pressing towards it with the force of an overwhelming sea!
　　
　　Confused!
　　
　　What happened?
　　
　　We met for the first time, even if he had an appetite, this bastard did not have to show that kind of look!
　　
　　That was definitely a look of hatred!
　　
　　Hatred for life and death!
　　
　　The big snake shook its head desperately.
　　
　　Brother Buster, you're looking at the wrong snake, we don't know each other well, we've never met.
　　
　　Don't come over!
　　
　　The big snake trembled and tried to slink backwards one by one.
　　
　　However, it desperately found.
　　
　　Its body was still being pulled forward, it simply could not back up.
　　
　　It could only watch as a giant claw from the sky came towards its head.
　　
　　This claw, with a terrifying force, even the deep river under the river were brought up a storm.
　　
　　This claw, with a boundless power, let the snake heart tremble.
　　
　　This claw, to kill!
　　
　　"UU look at the book www.uukanshu.com干啥!"
　　
　　At the critical moment, a bland voice sounded, a huge palm thrust across, blocking the terrifying huge claw.
　　
　　The great snake, who thought it was certain to die, first froze, and then rejoiced!
　　
　　It was clear.
　　
　　There is a senior expert road to see the injustice of the hand!
　　
　　It used to hate guys who minded their own business.
　　
　　Now it just wants to say.
　　
　　Good job!
　　
　　This damned wretch, relying on its strength, bullying the weak and shameless.
　　
　　It wants to complain to its predecessor!
　　
　　The great snake's eyes rotated, and for a long time it didn't see where the former expert was, until its body crossed the golden kingbug's huge body.
　　
　　Only then did it see a human with a fishing rod.
　　
　　That in the water at ease, out of the dust as immortal floating posture, where, the water automatically separated the shocking scene.
　　
　　Showing his identity, this, is the high man!
　　
　　Wait a minute.
　　
　　High man?
　　
　　Human?
　　
　　Something doesn't seem right.
　　
　　Look closely.
　　
　　The long line that pulled it over step by step, wasn't it held in that human's hand!
　　
　　So, it was pulled over by this human expert?
　　
　　Then why did the human save him just now?
　　
　　Or is there another senior who saved him?
　　
　　A moment of various reversals, so that the big snake brain into a chaos.
　　
　　So, what the hell is going on now?
　　
　　"Big snake, long, not a good thing, beaten to death!"
　　
　　Chu He restrained the king of eight become small, scurrying to his side, claws pointed to already a face of confusion big snake, the tone Moe fierce fierce!
　　
　　Chu He speechless, this Wang Biao thing quite vindictive, was a big black snake pitted once, now see the snake reaction is surprisingly large.

Myrka
Myrka was a humble town. As they made their final approach from the forest to the beach, the city revealed itself. It stretched long ways on the beach. Most of the huts and tents and stone buildings sat on the sand, with a few here and there in the forest. Docks went on for miles along the beach as numerous ships pulled ashore. It was like a stretched-out version of the New Eathelyn Marina. Civilians passed by on similar canine and feline mounts as the drakes in New Eathelyn. Rio led the way as their mounts slowed to a steady walk, and the Halders were at the end of the line. 
Drakes captained the trade ships, although there were a few jags and Evelanders here and there. Other than on television, it was the first time the grandchildren had seen jags. Frightening creatures, they were. It's the reason why they were typically cast as bad guys in movies and shows. Ironically, they were generally considered to be the most peaceful race in the four borders.
But many things made jags fearsome creatures. Their eyes of red, yellow, or white; their spotless skin, gray as a thunderstorm and smooth as the stroke of a waterworn stone. While some jags maintained a dark, charcoal skin, other jags varied timidly in brighter shades of gray. 
They soared in height. The average jag reached seven feet tall. The males' brute strength was terrifying. Especially the fat ones, though most were cut like diamonds.
Two things summed up a jag's physical identity, making them indistinguishable of any Yutarian race. Their antlers and hooved feet. The antlers were of a wide variety but resembled mostly those of a deer, growing specific to an individual jag at their coming of age. Some twisted from their temples and curled behind their ears. Others grew long and twisted by their shoulders. Some antlers grew from their foreheads and twisted up high.  
The heavy wind of the beach carried the ambience of the city. Merchants either yelled from their huts (in their strange click-clack language) or bartered and haggled with the sailors and residents of Myrka. Crews of the larger ships unloaded their cargo while the captains collected payment. The overseas trading was booming. Rio took the grandchildren left, leaving the path of merchants and bringing them to the open beach where ships were either anchored just offshore, or tied to a dock. Further down the beach, tens of drakes and humans formed a line under a tall wooden sign with drake language inscriptions. Pictographs clumped together to mean one thing. Below the pictographs was a translation:
Heorg Ferries
10 per ticket, 5 per mount
Once they all arrived at the line, the Peppercorns hopped off their wolf. 
"Ugh, my butt's starting to feel numb," Tamara said. 
Cameron nudged Ace and leaned in his ear. "It's probably trying to match her brain."
Ace laughed with his brother. Tamara scoffed at the Halders, then helped her little sister down and Ace and Cameron followed next. Ace stretched long and wide. He hadn't realized how much his back had been hurting from riding the wolf for so long until standing gave him relief. The long line crept along. No doubt they would be there a while. Rio eventually hopped off his bear and held the reins as they stood in line. He reached in the saddle pouches and grabbed a few canteens, then tossed them to the grandchildren. 
"Drink however much you like. The ship tickets usually come with meals and beverages," the drake said.
"And hopefully a big, soft bed!" Julie said.
Rio rolled his eyes and turned around. Ace unscrewed his canteen and gulped the water left inside. The very same pure water they had at the spring a few hours back. He tilted his head, eyes fixed on the purple evening sky and the poufy scattered clouds, as he gulped every drop in a second.
"Haaa," Ace said in approval. 
"So, little bro," Cameron said. He leaned closer into Ace's ear. "What do these witches look like, huh?" 
"Cameron!" Ace said under his breath. He pushed his brother back a little. "Not here! Someone could hear us."
"Right. Sorry," Cameron said. "I'm just a little excited and curious.
 
My mind's been thinkin' 'bout it nonstop since the spring."
"I'll tell you what I know whenever we get a chance to be alone," Ace said. Cameron nodded and winked. This dropped a rock in Ace's chest. For his older brother's wink looked identical to Grandpa Marty's. Ace rubbed his eyes to keep anyone from seeing them water. He turned his attention away from his projections of Grandpa on his older brother. 
Rio turned to face the grandchildren. "All of you get your things from your saddles."
Cameron and Ace looked at each other and shrugged but did as instructed. Ace didn't realize how fast the line had moved. They approached the sign much quicker than expected. A cramped wooden hut sat on the sand directly under the sign. A few drakes smiled from the ticket-collecting window. One of them was yellow as the moon with a head like a snake, another a water drake with shiny silver scales, and the last one looked like the snake one, only with red skin. 
The yellow snake lady looked to Rio and spoke in the drake tongue. Rio responded. The lady looked at him with frustration and shook her head. Rio clicked his tongue again. She shook her head no again, now very annoyed.
"I think Rio doesn't have any money," Ace said. 
"Oh! Say no more!" Julie said. She reached into her purse (which she apparently brought because it was a necessity for survival) and took a handful of credits out. Eveland credits. Parchments in different shades of blue. In the middle of each parchment was the face of an Eveland leader.
On the one-hundred-credit parchment.the only ones Julie had.was the face of Angus Kar. Famous for winning The Heorg War. Not much was taught to Eveland students about The Heorg War. Other than the Evelanders helped free the jags from some dictatorship spreading through the country. 
Well, Ace thought, looks like I was right about her huge allowance. 
The little girl burst to the front of the line and slapped the credits down on the shelf. 
"That oughta cover it!" Julie said. The drakes behind the window chuckled with each other.
The yellow drake clicked several times at Julie with a playful smile.
"She wants to know how old you are," Rio said to Julie.
Julie gave a curtsy and smiled from ear to ear. It was time to put on a show and do what she does best: soak up all the attention. 
"I'm twelve and a half," she said. The snake lady patted her head and handed her back the pile of credits.
"They don't accept Eveland currency, Julie. Credits are no good here, only owes . . ." Rio's eyebrows popped up, and leaned close with a glint in his eye. "Unless your rich dad somehow had a collection of fae crystals he gave you?" 
Julie pouted and slowly shook her head no. Rio sighed and gently nudged her aside.
Fae crystals, Ace thought. That's something I'd like to see.
The drake yanked the mounts with the reins in his hand and handed them to the snake lady. Rio and the drakes behind the counter exchanged a few more click-clack words with one another. The snake lady seemed to get angrier by the minute, and Rio wasn't very persuasive. After a moment or two, Rio finally stopped trying to argue with her.
Rio looked around in frustration. "Fine." He walked to the open beach area followed by the grandchildren. What was happening? No tickets? How were they supposed to get to Heorg?
They all gathered in a circle to the side of the ferry line. 
Julie pouted and crossed her arms. "That lady was extremely rude." "What's going on, Rio?" Tamara said. 
Rio looked intensely at the snake lady behind the counter. "Ace, come with me quickly," the drake said. 
Julie put her hands on her hips as she scoffed at Rio. "What? Why do you need him?"
Ace waved at his little cousin and smirked as he walked to Rio. She stuck her tongue out.
"You all stay put. Don't go anywhere here," Rio said. 
"Like, where would we even go?" Tamara sassed.
Rio grabbed Ace's arm and walked him far enough away from the circle of the grandchildren, so they couldn't hear.
"We're in danger," Rio whispered.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that one day of training we had together better come in handy, because this town is crawling with witches." 




A witch’s most powerful tool isn’t magic, it’s deception.

Since witches only exist in fairy tales, Ace Halder never put much thought into the matter. But when he discovers a mysterious stone entrenched in myth on his grandfather’s ancient ship, he’s forced to confront the lies he was raised to believe.

Not only are they real, they’re taking over the world one wicked deed at a time. Now only one thing can stop them. The Emerson Stone.

Ace is faced with a choice. Run and hide? Or risk everything at one last chance to save Yutara.

Orwell's Point, Marine Command

Joseph straightened up as the video link came to live and saluted to the officers on the other side of the link. "Good morning, Sirs!"

"The Operation to retrieve Rastraz from the Imperials has gone down successfully. Falcon company has disengaged from the enemy and is pulling back to form a skirmish line 3 kilometers away from the Imperials." Joseph reported.

"Good. How is Rastraz doing?" Blake asked. 

"We had our dragon handlers take a look at her. So far, she's fine, just shaken and bruised." Joseph replied. "She will recover fully in a couple of days."

Blake nodded. "Okay. Are the Imperials still pushing down the river?"

"Our scouts watching them reported that they had dug in and encamped on the river banks," Joseph answered. "We suspect that they are waiting for reinforcements."

"Kick them home. Hard. They have overstayed their welcome here," Blake ordered. 

"Yes, Sir!" Joseph smiled.

"Now, any news of the missing MAW?" Blake asked next. 

"No Sir," Joseph frowned. "The last contact we had was that they are chasing after one of the deserters. After that, we lost all contact. Once Blue Thunder and Rastraz have recovered, I will send them down to the last known location of MAW Zero Two."

"Dead or alive, make sure you find them," Blake said. "And what of the Snake?"

"Yes, Sir," Joseph nodded. "We have the UAV on constant surveillance of the Snake and as of this morning, it had dug in the underground to keep away from the sun. It has advanced 73 kilometers over the night closer to our location."

"It appeared that the Orcs' black magic has failed to keep that monster at bay," Joseph continued. "We expect that the Snake will hit our first line of defense within two days. We do not have any idea why it suddenly changed its heading but judging its current direction, I say there's a very high it's coming our way."

 Blake asked. "How are the plans going along for the defense?"

"We planned to have the Cobras bomb the Snake as it approaches our defense lines with napalm. The Mariners will continue their role in doing supply runs," Joseph said. "We converted two of the half tracks into gun carriages for the 3" guns and also we hooked up a few mortars onto carriages that will be towed by jeeps. It will greatly improve our mobility and response times. We will use that to bombard the Snake from far once it is wounded by the napalm bombs."

"We identified the only weapons seemed capable to damage the Snake is the napalm firebombs," Joseph added. "Hence we do not plan to use any troops to fight against the Snake as we observed that it will be throwing lives away for nothing," 

"The Marines will keep order and help with the evacuation of the city if needed while we hit it from afar with our planes and artillery." Joseph finished. "Also, with Dr. Sharon and Magister Thorn's help, we are coming up with a special blend of mortars shells to deal with the Snake! But whether if it works or not, that remains to be seen..."

"I see..." Blake nodded. "Do what you need to do, you have priority on all our stocks and production of napalm."

"Thank you, Sir!" Joseph smiled. "If will be great if there are more Marines to run supplies to Orwell's Point, Sir!"

"I know, R and D side is pushing out a dedicated cargo hauler that can carry the load of two to three Mariners, but we need time," Blake sighed. "And time is against us, so we can only use what we have now!"

"I understand sir!" 

"So, how is the crackdown on the cults?" Blake asked. "Any breakthroughs?"

"We managed to arrest several of the senior cultists here," Joseph answered. "But we couldn't find out what kind of Demon God they are worshipping. Seems like they have some kind of geass that prevent them from disclosing that information."

"We lost four of the senior cultists before we stopped questioning the rest about the identity of the Demon Gods..." Joseph replied helplessly. "Magister Thorn has yet to find a way to counteract the geass."

Blake nodded, "Alright, do what you have to do. Hold Orwell's Point if possible, if not, pull back with all your forces. Understand?"

"Aye aye, Sir!" Joseph saluted and the video link cut off.

"Well, you all heard the Boss, I want to plans of attack by end of the day!" Joseph turned to his staff and ordered. "One against the Imperials camping at our doorstep, the other for the damn snake crawling its way over!"

"YES SIR!"

Hours later, the upper senior command staff gathered back at the command center. "Sir, as the threat from the God Snake is greater than the Imperials camping out there, we have decided to assign all the cobras to engage the God Snake once we have plotted out its course."

"We will emplace a deep pit in the path of the God Snake and bury it with napalm canisters and explosives," The staff officer explained their plan of action. "Once the God Snake dropped into the pit, we will detonate all the explosives and napalm inside, hopefully, it will be enough to kill it once and for all!"

"But how can we be sure of it falling into the pit?" Joseph questioned the action plan. 

"We will need a lure... someone has to lure it over the trap..."

Great Ocean Plains

A long train of wagons escorted by two lines of heavily armored cavalry that rode on the sides slowly made their way over the large expanses of grass rolling in the gentle wind. 

Taris sat on the coach seat next to the driver and watched warily at the dark clouds in the far distance. "Hopefully this time we don't get captured as slaves again!" He joked with the wagon driver who grinned back.

The journey over the plains to Sin City will take them roughly two five day weeks or lesser as long no hiccups happen along the way. Taris wondered if he will get to meet their saviors that stayed on in Sin City. "Oh well, if fate wills it, we will meet again someday!"

Shard River

Mills carefully threaded his way over the bushes and laid down next to one of his men carefully. "Any movements?"

"No, Sarge," The Marine Raider replied. "Looks like they are digging in for good."

"Any changes to the patrols?" Mills asked again as he peeked through his night vision seeing his world turn green and white. The enemy encampment enlarged in his view, showing a simple circular log wall surrounding the camp with guards manning them.

"Same patterns and routines," His man replied softly. "But they are quite alert and the mages appeared to have set some arcane traps and tripwires here and there."

"Too bad we do not have any mortars with us," Mills sighed. "Or it will be such a nice easy target to bomb!"

His men grinned in the darkness, showing white teeth under the layer of painted faces.

"Alright, keep watch for a while more," Mills slowly back crawled away. "Stay alert!"

He crawled his way back and found his radioman hidden behind a tree. "Get me the LT."

"King Falcon, this is Raider One, we got eyes on the enemy encampment Bravo," Mills reported. "It's heavily guarded and seeded with arcane traps and alarms. We can't sneak in easily."

"King Falcon, Roger," The radio buzzed back. "Standby."

Mills handed the handset back to the radioman and pulled out a bar of dried fruit candy to snack on while he waited for instructions.

Less than ten minutes later, the radioman hands the handset back to Mills, "Lt is on the line."

"King Falcon, all forces are to fend an assault on the encampments," The radio said. "Draw them out into an ambush. Should enemy fail to respond, harass them till they do so. Out"

"Hell yeah!" Mills grinned and went off to find the rest of the company commanders to discuss their attack plans.

Titanna dressed in her sleeping gown sat on the edge of her bed fussed over by her two attendants, one of them brushing her golden hair while the other applying some ointment on her wounded shoulder.

"My Lady, your wound shouldn't leave any scars," Her attendant happily informed Titanna who nodded absentmindedly. She was brooding over the fact that the strange enemy has such powerful creatures and magic, she wondered how to defeat this strange force when suddenly yells and cries rang out from outside her tent.

She brushed away her two attendants and strolled out of her tent while her attendants quickly draped a long coat over her shoulders to cover her thin gown. "What is happening?" 

Her four house guards at the entrance of her tent gave a quick bow and reported, "It seemed like the enemy is attacking us, my Lady!"

"From where?" She demanded as she looked away from the eye searing illumination spells that were drifting in the air. 

"From the South of the camp!" Her guards replied just as a couple of commanders came running up. 

"The enemy is attacking both our camps!" Both commanders chorused. "Their strange magic is killing our men behind the walls!"

A sudden explosion rocked the camp and a small ball of fire rosed from the southern walls. Titanna covered her ringing ears from the loud thunderous roar. "Rush the enemy! Close up to them as fast as possible! Prevent them from casting their magic!"

"Yes, my lady!" The two commanders ran off to give the orders to sally out to fight the enemy.

"Get me into my armor!" She turned and walked back into her tent while her attendants grabbed her armor off the stand. She hastily donned her armor over her sleeping gown and buckled on her sword belt while her maids worked on her greaves and bracers.

Once she was armored up, she quickly left the tent where a dozen of her house guards awaited her with her land dragon mount. The vicious reptile hissed and cooed as she rubbed its neck before she mounted its back and grabbed a shield from one of the pages. "Move!!"

She wheeled her mount towards the South wall where the gates had opened up and forced her way through the crowd of infantry pouring out of the camp to attack the enemy. In the dim light of the illumination spells, she saw scores of bright flashes and thunderous roars appearing along the tree line and realized those must be the spells cast by the enemy!

Once she and her guards left the camp and with the way before her had cleared of friendly troops, she drew her sword and pointed to the tree line that was over two hundred paces away and yelled, "FORWARD!"

The infantry cried out a war cry and they ran forward with their shields up while Titanna pushed her mount into a quick trot. She vaguely heard sounds of metal against metal and saw dozens of men flopping down with dark stains on their armor. "KEEP YOUR SHIELDS UP! DON'T STOP! CLOSE UP CLOSE UP!!!"

Seeing the distance closing to roughly a hundred paces, she quickened her mount and yelled, "CHARGEEEE!!!"

Hundreds of throats cried out after her and they all ran forward. Titanna leading the cavalry quickly overtook the running infantry and the thundering land dragons made the adrenaline in her blood surge. She screamed loudly with exhilaration as her mount charged faster and faster and the dark tree line rushed up before her.

Twenty paces... ten paces... and she was into the tree line! She peered into the dim lighting and saw several crouching figures just a short distance away from her. She leaned forward low over her mount and angled her shield in her left hand before her when suddenly she saw a blinding flash and a thunderous roar and something hit her with a force of a mighty hammer!

She got flung off the back of her mount and she slammed down on her back hard enough to knock the air out of her lungs. As she laid there curled up in pain and gasping for air, a sudden series of thunderclap erupted behind her and hideous screams rang out from hundreds of throats.

The crew of the Training Ship UNS Singapore escaped from an alien fleet, finds themselves stranded on an unknown planet and has to survive against deadly monsters and magical creatures.

"Hmm? I thought we'll met at the red mountain's foot?"

"W-well, it'll take a while to get there and we're afraid we might encounter that snake Jumung something you called it, and look" Jirod snapped his finger with sligh blue flame, flashes and vanish thereafter.

My thoughts flew elsewhere so what he did is not even enter in my mind and thanks to it, he clicked his tongue, unhappy.

After exiting the Red Highlands─a flat expanse with red miasma I passed through─and return back to these forest, this three enters my vision as they welcomed me, which surprised me.

By the way, Jumung something they're talking about is the gigantic snake we encountered as I named it as Jumungandr thanks to its size.

I looked back again for the last time as I don't really want to parted with Mai but our parents strictly told us to return after a weeks time.

Anyway, Mai is the name I bestowed to that Fuhrer Monkey. And officially, become my first crew member but right now, she couldn't follow her captain for some reason

As we run back, I didn't know when but Jirah followed my pace as she question from my side. "You seemed restless, is something the matter?"

Hearing her, the two men compressed from our back and listen.

Swoosh---!

We're running back as fast as we could and that's what made this trip amazing. For normal people like this three, they're as fast as ninja if one is looking from our current pace.

I late to realize but, Jirod and Javan's feet is slightly glowing in red and blue hue successively, and this is the first time I witnessed it ever since, is this the power of their contracted wisp? I wonder.

I wanted to ask them but I answer Jirah's question instead. "I recruited my future crew member, sadly its impossible for now", this trio actually know that I will sail as a pirate after a couple of years, ironically, they cheer me for this is the first time I open my dream and maybe, the reason they accompany me for my training.

"Impossible?" Jirah ask with surprise and puzzling expression.

"Its very complicated, maybe Jirah I need you next time so we could understand each other" I said.

"Was it monster you've recruited?"

I nodded, of course. Not once did we encounter any human inside this red line other than the people of Rotor Company.

"Then I'll help you, I'll talk to it for you"

"Really?" I smile. I really don't want to bother her and after this trip, this three might not come with me again.

Because, one, Jarvan have military camp along with his father and other militia soldier far from our island and no one knows how much time they consumed.

Two, Jirod will start his fishing adventure again. he only came thanks to the sudden storm that is about approach our island. He shouldn't be with us in the first place but thanks to that sudden changes of nature, he came with us.

Jirah on the other hand is force herself to come. It was my father who talked to her parents and I don't know what he did but the mayor agreed in the end, with the condition that we'll return in weeks time. Her mother didn't though, but in the end, Jirah still came... That's why she arrived only at the very last minute.

And this time, I don't know if any of them would come with me for the second time.

This will be my weekly routine, one week inside the red line while one week in Aegis Island.

But with this circumstances, I might return back before weeks time.

Wait for me, Mai. I'll liberate you for sure. Is what I thought

: : :

"Captain, Sky?"

Outside the cave, Mai repeatedly said the word Sikorsky had told him. 'From now on, I am your captain and call me Sky', so he said.

"Captain"

Her lips are trembling and doesn't know what this feeling she's been through. Sky didn't notice, but contrary to a normal Fuhrer Monkey, Mai were tortured and experimented that cannot be counted how many times already.

Him healing the poor monkey, Mai find it heartwarming and welcoming. She wanted to be with this man, she thought.

Even though she's a Fuhrer Monkey, the supremacist instinct didn't kicked-in in front of Sikorsky. She only felt it twice in her lifetime.

Though its possible because he already receive her acknowledgement, but maybe because of the torture she's been through, is different treatment she receive if compare to Sikorsky.

But then again, she didn't think twice before pounding the centipede to death because it did something it shouldn't have during her command the last time.

Anyway, she wanted to get liberated once and for all, but afraid at the same time.

She knew, Sikorsky is strong. But not enough to beat that man. Or so she believe.

Not only that, this cave defies time itself. Distorted and dangerous.

An hour inside is different from the outside. And that's what she's afraid the most. Same reason why she only stay no more than a minute whenever entering inside.

There's also an urge that she should do no matter what. A search for someone that needs a lot of time to finish, but she couldn't said it to the man in question. Because one, they couldn't understand each other.

Thinking all of this, she could only do is to curl her palm, hard enough to bleed. Noticing it, her closest subordinate looked at her in anxious.

This subordinate is the closest friend of Mai's fiance.

Although they're different specie, this baboon's friend and Mai, lived happily and in harmony even though Mai is stronger than her fiance.

Not, until Mai has taken captive by an unknown man and take her as its subordinate.

On the other hand, Mai's fiance was taken captive by another baboon accompanied by the scary man with their floating island at that time.

Thinking all of this, trial and tribulation keep on coming with this couple whilst, this baboon swore that no matter what, for its friend, it should keep watching her until its friend's return.

Unfortunately, that wouldn't happen as it is powerless. 

In any case, this baboon is happy for Mai who found another caring and responsible baboon although this new baboon is hair-less, he id stronger than its friend. But contrary to its expectation, Mai didn't leave her place even after then.

So why!? The baboon questioned but Mai didn't bother answering.

They didn't know that 'order is absolute' to a Fuhrer Monkey after losing its pride. And it happens that Sikorsky didn't command her and instead 'ask' her to be his crew whilst she agreed.

So in the end, she couldn't defy her first 'master' who give her 'command' compare on Sikorsky who on 'ask' her. At the same time, Fuhrer Monkey followed only one master, and it happens she acknowledge Sikorsky as one but the first master's 'order' is absolute. "Never let anyone enter beside you" is what command she follows.

"Leave"

That single word of Mai after noticing her loyal subordinate look at her in worry, but the baboon hastily retreated in fear.

Mai on the other hand, look at the direction where Sikorsky departed.

: : :

2 Days passed by in a blink of an eye.

Although nothing seemed to improved since then, I can't help but to stay at the area where my future ship is under constructing.

For it to keep a secret, only two trusted companions of father, helped him from creating the ship.

And because Rotor Company and Aegis Island is affiliated to the World Government, if this thing enters the high-up's ear, my father will without a doubt be persecuted but he once told and assure me that it won't and never happen.

He never told me why, though.

Anyway. Although I'm in this area for two day straight, I've been absorb of scrabbling the book, seated in the table with pen on my hand. "For two days, that's the only thing you've been doing. What is that? Noble? Squire? Margrave?" Father lean his head and questioned.

"This? Its the rankings of all the creatures we've encountered so far. All their data are saved here, except to those I encounter but forgot to eat it or too strong at that time to defeat" I explained.

He knew all about the Slime's inherent ability after my explaination it the last time.
Same reason why he trusted my decision so much, so he isn't surprise after hearing my answer.

"Ho hoh, amazing huh"

"Right? Although I'm stronger than the last time. I shouldn't let my guard down in the near future. This data will serve as my future reference"

"For?"

I then explained autonomously. First, I know that individual monsters in Red Line are strong, but most of them are not strong enough to defeat a pirate worth of hundreds of million Berry on their head, so I sorted this monsters according to their size, intrinsic ability, skills, danger and whatnot, and of course their strengths and weaknesses.

For example, Goblins and Harpy. They're at the level of Squire when alone but almost at the level of Knight to Lord if in horde depends on their numbers. That alone is enough to raid a city in East Blue.

By the way, what Rankings I'm using is a noble ranking. Meaning, from weakest that is Squire, and to strongest which is Margrave.

I placed Mai and the Beetle Rhinoceros as an Earl rank after a couple of biased calculation. At the same time, placed two monsters we encountered into Margrave rank, much higher than the Beetle Rhinoceros. The Helix Asura and the Giant Armadillo, durable enough to take a couple of pounding to penetrate its armor, but because I've eaten and taken enough skills, I've took it down much faster than the Beetle Rhinoceros. There are times when we encountered a mutated monster, though strong, its not enough to challenge me.

And if I calculate the strength on each individual alone, every rank doubled or triple its past rank. Though I shouldn't say that the same rank has the same strength, that's why I've base their rank depends on the aforementioned above.

And after this rank, is far above and divided it as King, Emperor and Divine rankings. They're empty right now though.

I put that Jumungandr as one of this Divine rank even though I hadn't yet to get any data but only its size and pressure it gave.

"Jumungandr? A snake? Isn't that the Three Great Primordial Monsters of Red Line?" After swiping the latest page, father found the image of snake I've only drawn along with its small background which is the forest.

Primordial Monster? I look at him with head tilted on one side.

"Yes, Three Great Primordial Monsters. They're none other than the protector of the Red Line. The Northern Dragon and the Southern Snake and Wolf. They live no less than a thousands of years. They're the protector and give balance that is known as Red Line. So yes, making it as Divine in rankings sure fits its alias" He only smile while explaining.

But that snake is bigger than the Sea-King Shiraoshi once called during the Fish-man island arc! That is, if you look only at its length.

It takes a couple of minutes before it finally leave from our sight, so this snake sure is bigger. Then that means, comparable to the Sea-King. This Three Great Primordial Monsters are the ones who owned the Red Line?

"But why there are two protector in the south?" I can't help but raised a question.

"Good question, according to our ancestor's diary, Dragon prefers solitude but the bigger issue here is that, the Wolf and the Snake are siblings, they've always clashed with that Dragon whenever they met but the fight always ends as draw. On the other hand, their stage always devastates after their battle. So after realizing this, they made an oath not to attack each other again and divide their territory instead. That they will never set foot on the territory of another. That they will protect the land they belongs from thereon"

So in a sense, this Dragon are stronger than that snake?! How big is this Dragon anyway? I take a hook from this story "Interesting but, its like a common folk-lore, is there anything else?" 

"Again, they're the one responsible for creating the balance inside the Red Line, I told you this as it seemed you've had in mind of hunting that snake but I'll tell you this, never touch any of this beings. That same folk-lore you're talking about is responsible of protecting us from harm" My eyes grew bigger.

"Protecting? You mean the Rotor Company in the Red Line?"

He only nodded. "I assumed you see the Adam Tree?"

This time, I look at him as his lips form a faint smile.

──────────
Note: [Intrinsic Ability] is the specie-base only while [Skills] is when they used to fight an enemy. In can either be train or a gift.

For example: The Intrinsic Ability of Beetle Rhinoceros was its Elytra and Wings, while its Skill is Wind Blade.

I somehow mixed up [Ability] and [Skills] because once an ability is used, it become a Skill. So if Sikorsky are using them, intrinsic or a skill, I generalize it as a Skill. Hope you guys understand. ^^
