Chapter 51: White haired witch?
Chi-Chi sat on her Flying Nimbus and finally arrived at the battlefield, only to witness a scene she would never forget.
Below, over a hundred Hobgoblins were fighting... with a bunch of skeletons?
There were also several huge skeletal dragons in the sky, breathing fire down on the Hobgoblins.
Chi-Chi had always thought that creatures on Eldoria continent would at least be, well, creatures. Why were these skeletal beings moving?
Chi-Chi recognized the bone dragons in the sky; those had to be that Lord's troops! The last time Chi-Chi saw them from a distance, the impact wasn't as profound as now, observing them up close, she realized just how enormous they actually were.
Chi-Chi immediately turned around to see her four Red Blood Gorillas still running towards the area. She quickly flew back, shouting, "You idiots, do you have a death wish? Run, run!"
Chi-Chi had a feeling that any single one of these troops could easily match her Red Blood Gorillas, and there were nearly a hundred of them.
She looked back at her four meager troops. "You can't get hurt, you're my last hope."
The four Red Blood Gorillas were quickly driven away by Chi-Chi. Driven by curiosity, she still stayed far back in the sky, lying on her Flying Nimbus to watch the battle.
Chi-Chi couldn't believe that those skeletal creatures were a Lord's troops; they were incredibly strong!
Fortunately, Chi-Chi was flying high enough that even if the Hobgoblins had anti-air capabilities, they couldn't reach her, and the bone dragons in the sky seemed not to have noticed her either.
Chi-Chi watched intently as the Hobgoblins threw spears, used magic, and wielded knives, torches, and hammers. Especially a giant Hobgoblin at the forefront of the group was much larger than the others, its huge hammer raising a cloud of dust on impact. Chi-Chi could feel its immense power.
There was also a Hobgoblin wearing a strange long robe, holding a staff taller than Chi-Chi herself, constantly casting various spells on the battlefield.
The skeletons were even more bizarre; Chi-Chi couldn't even count how many types there were. And after being smashed by the Hobgoblins, they could reassemble themselves, as if they couldn't die.
Chi-Chi watched the supernatural melee between the Hobgoblins and the undead, realizing it should be called a magical battle. She thought about how her Red Blood Gorillas were limited to physical combat with monsters, highlighting a significant disparity in capabilities.
At that moment, Alex was leisurely riding a gargoyle towards the area, not worried about the safety of her undead, only concerned that the Hobgoblins might escape. This was a huge opportunity for experience and resources!
Quickly, Alex also spotted the green dots on the ground from the sky, which must be the Hobgoblins. The number of undead fighting the Hobgoblins wasn't very large, about a hundred, mainly aerial units, all from nearby.
"Hey, what's that yellow dot on the horizon?"
Chi-Chi's Flying Nimbus was yellow, and against the dark, sunless sky, it was quite conspicuous.
Arthur, who was fighting the Hobgoblins, had noticed Chi-Chi a while ago but since she didn't show any hostility and her power was too weak, he hadn't bothered with her.
As Alex rode the gargoyle closer, she finally saw it clearly; it was a small yellow cloud, and there was a Lord on it! And why was Alex sure Chi-Chi was a Lord? Who else would wear pajamas here?
Chi-Chi, engrossed in watching the fight, looked up and saw a nine feet tall creature with wings carrying a person flying towards her. That white hair was too conspicuous!
Chi-Chi's eyes met Alex's.
"Wow, what a beautiful woman."
"No, wait, run!"
Chi-Chi immediately turned her Flying Nimbus around to flee. The only humans who would appear here were those skeletons' Lord.
"Arthur, catch her!"
Alex shouted to Arthur, who naturally prioritized Alex's command. He immediately flapped his wings and turned to pursue Chi-Chi.
"Holy fuck! Shit!"
Chi-Chi looked back to see the biggest of the troops chasing after her and cursed out loud.
Her heart rate nearly broke 200, terrified by the chase. At this moment, Chi-Chi wished she could slap herself. Why did she have to come out here? Now she was done for.
Whoosh!
Chi-Chi felt a gust of wind above her head as Arthur's massive form quickly overtook her and flew in front of her.
"You better stop voluntarily!"
Arthur's ability to speak shocked Chi-Chi anew; troops could talk? Why did her Red Blood Gorillas only howl stupidly?
Arthur didn't want to grab her with his claws because she was too weak, and he was afraid he might accidentally kill her with his strength. Alex's order was to capture her alive.
Chi-Chi braked sharply, controlling her Flying Nimbus to stop in mid-air. The big guy was much faster than her; she couldn't escape.
"It's not fair, why can something so big fly so fast!"
"Spare my life, I won't run!"
Chi-Chi's heart pounded wildly, clearly terrified by Arthur. A fifteen-year-old girl had never experienced anything like this.
Arthur ignored Chi-Chi and stayed in the air because he saw Alex approaching on a gargoyle.
"Put away your little yellow cloud and land immediately."
Alex arrived and immediately spoke to Chi-Chi.
Chi-Chi looked back and saw the white-haired beauty from before. She then looked forward at the menacing big bone dragon and obediently controlled her Flying Nimbus to descend.
Alex also commanded her gargoyle to slowly land, while Arthur kept his eyes on Chi-Chi, making her scalp tingle.
Chi-Chi landed slowly, put away her Flying Nimbus, and looked timidly at the white-haired beauty in front of her.
Alex jumped down from the gargoyle's back, facing away from the battlefield where Hobgoblins and undead were still fighting.
"You seemed quite bold when you were running away, said some curse words, I didn't catch them, could you repeat them?"
Alex pretended to clean her ear with her pinky, sizing up the young girl in front of her.
Respected lady, I was wrong. I didn't say anything just now. Please, overlook my minor offenses. Please don't kill me!
Chi-Chi, frightened, looked at the white-haired beauty in front of her, trembling as she spoke. She knew that in this world, there were no rules, and she could very well be killed by this person.
Thinking this, Chi-Chi became even more frightened, internally trying to comfort herself.
Chi-Chi, don't be deceived by her beauty, she must be a terrifying white haired witch.
