Chapter 1183 – 1183. Small Forest

"Yes, this is some magic used to protect the forest covering the entrance to the trail." This was the same thing that Walker had guessed when he saw the little forest hiding the trail from the air. He also knew that the melting snow and the slightly warm breeze which had started to blow up from the south was to blame for the increasing fog. 

Even Midnight was trying to smell about for evidence and was coming up empty. It was all dependent on Walker\'s perfect memory of the area that they had flown over. If it was anyone else they would not have been able to trust the direction. Luckily, Walker had the mental archive to keep maps and such in check. When he had looked from the sky it was more or less the same as looking at a map from the top. 

"This should be the way." Walker lifted a hand and manipulated some of the water and wind in the air to move away. It wasn\'t enough to clear the entire area but it was enough to show off the small forest ahead of them. 

"Brave to venture in to my territory child. Why do you smell like my Lords?" A deep shaking voice made the three stop and fall in to battle stances. "Children. If you desired battle I can bring it. You are a snack to me at this stage in time." 

"What is it? Can you appraise it?" Su had the twin shields and needed to know what they faced so she could alter her strategy to one using the earth dwelling shield if need be. 

There was nothing that Walker could see from his view. Midnight had trouble locking on to anything at all either. It led him to using his all around appraisal on everything around him. 

\'Green lily….red bark tree…twirling vine…\' 

The all around appraisal was not picking up anything other making it even harder for Walker to speak out. "Answer me before I make a move child. I can feel your light weight upon me. You three can not be old enough to even bother me. Two creatures smelling faintly of dragons and some tamed beast smelling similarly as well. You will have much to answer for." The voice was obvious with the fact that it could not see them. But when it said that they were already on top of it, Walker looked at the entirety of their surroundings. 

\' floral tortoise 

The floral tortoise is one of the smallest monsters in the world when it is born. They will often have small grasses grow on their shells to hide them in the grasslands. In exceptionally rare cases they can live to be hundreds or even thousands of years old. The oldest known floral tortoise grew to be the size of a singular country before it perished and the shell became the base for an entire living race. Beware the incredible defensive prowess and control over earth elemental mana that the floral tortoise has on the later years of its life.\'

Walker made a motion for Su and Midnight to relax. He knew that if the floral tortoise was as large as the appraisal said it could be that it was not anything they could deal with. However, he had caught on that it said that it had lords. Specifically, the dragons. The royal dragons had to be the lords of this floral tortoise that grew larger than all the others that could be around. This also meant that Walker needed to tighten his courage and speak the way a royal dragon would. 

"Little tortoise. I am Walker, lord of natural mana. You dare block the way of my champion and her guardian? Speak now and beg forgiveness or you shall rest here for eternity." The mana that Walker caused to become chaotic was none other than the natural mana around him. He purposefully made it rotate in opposite ways to show off his control over it. 

Midnight did not hesitate to back him up. She roared louder than Walker expected making him sure that they would be believed. Even Su made her statement and slammed her twin shields together with a furious clang. The ground beneath them shook and Walker could tell they were moving upwards. He used the wind ripple skill to step in to the air and looked down at the entire small forest rising up. 

The dark brown and gray head that broke the soil and rose to meet him opened yellow eyes. "Human! You…" The floral tortoise was going to continue to shout in rage when it felt the mana and saw the connection that Walker had to Midnight. It had lived for many years which led to wisdom most would not have. Seeing the bonds of a royal dragon and those connected to it were simple and mandatory for it to keep its position. 

"My apologies great lord of natural mana. I wish you safe travels toward the grand court of dragonkind. I, Sylvan, great the new lord." The tortoise lowered its head and closed its eyes knowing that it had made a false accusation. Inside it was completely stunned though. It could not understand the human and how it was equal to a dragon. Yet it could see the bonds that made it so.
