Chapter 117: Those Are Your Options
Leo and the caravan reached the fortress only to be welcomed by the soldiers. After getting up and quickly making their way to the gate, they quickly opened the gate to allow them through. Seconds later, the carriages entered a large square, only to see stalls and people milling about.
Following that, Viora and Mariana stepped out, followed by him. The older of the two spoke with a smile. ’’I’ll get to work selling things, and little Miss Green here can help me.’’
’’Yes, let’s go shopping,’’ Mariana said before they walked to the other carriages to organize everything.
While watching them go, Leo decided to explore the surroundings to see if he could find any interesting monsters to capture or level up. He quickly took to the sky and flew toward the wildlands that stretched out as far as the eyes could see.
’A few more days and I can be in the Elven Empire,’ he mused while scanning the landscape with narrowed blue eyes.
In the distance was a herd of elephant-looking creatures and headed straight for them while readying to tame the recent additions to his Monster Domain. Minutes later, Leo appeared above unknowing beasts that lumbered around eating grass.
He started searching for the closest one and spotted the biggest one, causing him to think, ’This should be the leader. I’ll tame the big guy to get the others.’
Following that, Leo smiled as he swooped down and landed a California Smash that rang out like a bell. The monster was sent flying off to one side, causing the other elephants to flee, but the leader struggled to its feet.
Without letting the creature get up, he swooped in and landed another punch that shook the ground. Leo stood there as the monster tried to let out a noise but he cut it off, ’’Shut up, you will serve me or die. Those are your options.’’
When the elephant realized he was serious, it quickly submitted. Leo quickly healed the creature before speaking, ’’Get the rest of your kind and enter this place. You will find a new home and plenty of food.’’
Seconds later, the leader let out a let bellow, using the rest of its herd to return before it stepped through the blue portal that appeared. Leo smiled when seeing this and followed behind.
