Chapter 241: A Five-Star Journey
"So, how was it? Not disappointing, right?" I asked out loud as we slid through the snow at a fast speed. Thankfully, Khools had their aura covering us, preventing any discomfort from the biting wind and cold.
"Disappointing?" Cassandra’s voice carried over the soft whooshing of our passage through the snow, tinged with disbelief. "You must be joking. This is incredible. All that mystery was definitely worth it."
"I’m glad you liked it." I could hear the pure joy in her tone, even over the sound of our movement.
With that, we continued moving.
Honestly, I had the urge to enjoy the ride by letting my arms catch the wind while driving. I noted that I would do it another time when I was alone.
There was one more reason I decided to borrow these creatures. And, we were about to find out, I thought as I retracted my perception. And from the looks of it, Cassandra had noticed them too.
It was a pack of snow monsters, with a few greater beasts leading them. If we continued in this direction, we would surely cross paths with them. But I wasn’t worried at all.
"Umm... Sir Lumin," Cassandra called out as we finally saw the monsters. "There are monsters ahead. Should we change directions or fight?"
I glanced at her and smiled. "Just hug your mount."
I made a demonstration by lying flat on my Khool’s back, my head turned in Cassandra’s direction.
Thankfully, she didn’t question me and did the same.
We were already a few meters away from the monsters. But they didn’t react at all. I caught Cassandra’s surprised expression with my Observant Eye, and realization dawning on her.
