BXBX NOVEL Chapter 96 - Journey To The Capital
hearing this Rebecca\'s eyebrows twitched in irritation but before she could start Grand Patriarch Jarred Started speaking first.
"You two need to calm down and end this argument, I Can\'t have you arguing every 30 mins. The journey is going to be almost a month-long, if you do this the whole journey I\'ll probably go mad before we even reach the capital!"
Hearing jarred practically begging for peace, Dante had no choice but to sit down without any more hassle but as he looked up all he could see was the gloating smirk of Rebecca.
Despite, Rebecca\'s taunting smirk Dante decided to be the bigger man and not let it affect the journey. And just as he came to this decision, the convoy of carriages started to move along the way slowly exiting the kinsman Clan
...
currently, the convoy of carriages was moving along a narrow road within a lush forest.
Each carriage was slowly trudging behind the other in a long line and inside the middle of the convoy was a bright red luxurious carriage decorated with various Flame snakes twisting and coiling all around the outside of the carriage.
Inside this carriage was the small group of Dante, Rebbeca and Grand Patriarch Jarred. Currently, they were all sat quietly cultivating and absorbing the ambient spirit energy in the air as they each glowed in silver and red lights respectively.
All seemed to be going well when suddenly
"Howl!!"
a loud howl rang out from the forest.
instantly, everyone awoke from their cultivation.
"Dante it\'s your turn this time"
hearing Rebecca\'s words Dante responded in disbelief
"My go already? I swear dealt with the last monster attack only a few hours ago, how is my turn again so soon?!"
"Stop complaining, the monster attacks have just increased in frequency, you better get going!" Responded Rebecca
"Sigh!"
Dante could only sigh in defeat as he retrieved his moonlight sword and quickly left the carriage.
It had been almost a month since the convoy had left the Kinsman Clan and started their journey towards the capital.
The journey had actually been quite peaceful up until about 15 days mark. For some unknown reason right as the journey reached fifteen days the magical beasts became restless started frequently attacking the convoy.
The attacks had become so frequent that the Clan guards alone just wouldn\'t have been able to handle it and so Grand Patriarch Jarred proposed that the clan disciples take turns in dealing with the beast attacks.
In This way, was it not only an easy way to preserve energy and make sure everyone wasn\'t exhausted, but it also meant that the beast attacks would allow the Clan disciples to get some battle experience they so desperately needed.
so for the last 15 days of the journey, The Clan disciples had been taking turns to deal with the constant magic beast attacks and now it was Dante turn to deal with such an incident.
Stepping outside, Dante jumped towards the front of the convoy and once he landed he quickly noticed a large pack of grey wolves rushing towards him.
In this pack, he could see about 10 wolves rushing towards him and from his brief observation, he could see that all of the wolves were much better than the ones been in his previous life. Obviously, these wolves had to be magic beasts. Fortunately for Dante, were only in the martial novice realm strength.
Seeing this sight Dante let out a sigh of relief.
He really was tired of dealing with these constant beast attacks and really couldn\'t be bothered fighting another strong opponent, so since the wolves were only in the martial novice realm be Dante knew he could take it easy with this one
Slowly, Dante raised his sword into the sky, and as he did so a wave of energy radiated from him causing the floor to glow in a dazzling silver light.
"Lunar Sword technique, Rising New Moon!"
Instantly a Blinding phantom of the moon appeared in the sky over the battlefield
"Strike."
And with those cold words, Dante calmly swung down his sword causing a rain of moonlight beams to begin to bombard the charging wolves
"Owooo!"
The attacking wolves never stood a chance against Dante. All they could do was howl in pain as they were repeatedly pierced by the countless moonlight beams until they ended up resembling a piece of swiss cheese!.
looking at the brutal scene in front of him, Dante wasn\'t fazed in the slightest and slowly sheathed his sword. he took one last cold look at the scene of destruction before quickly returning to the carriage
Dante opened his door to his carriage and entered and just as he entered he heard a voice call out to him.
"You dealt with them already? That was fast"
looking up, Dante could see Rebecca break out of her meditation as he entered.
"It wasn\'t that hard to deal with them this time, the beasts that attacked were only within Martial novice realm so I could easily deal with them." Replied Dante casually
"Well, I guess it makes sense... We\'re already close to Capital so it would be hard to find many strong magic beasts in the surrounding area." Thought Rebecca aloud
Hearing this Dante couldn\'t help but ask
"I get why the beasts attacking are weak but the only thing that puzzles me is that the ridiculous Amount of magical beast attacks on the convoy, when we were leaving didn\'t you say that journey would be relatively calm so how do you explain all these attacks ?"
After a moment of thought, Rebecca carefully replied
"The only answer I could possibly come up with is that deep within the forest, a strong magic beast had taken over some new territory, causing the weaker magic beasts to be forced out of the area"
Even though Rebecca came up with this answer, even she herself wasn\'t too convinced of this explanation, for all she knew her guess was just as good as Dante\'s.
she really was only just having an educated guess as to what could possibly be going on.
Tired of thinking of something she really had no clue about, Rebbeca took the opportunity to change the topic.
"Seeing as we\'re so close to the capital it seems like now is as good as time as any for me to give you some tips"
hearing this Dante was slightly intrigued by Rebecca\'s words and seeing that she had got Dante\'s interest, Rebecca continued speaking
"The situation in the capital is much different than inside Brightsteel city.
