Chapter 482: Sky Eel
Upon waking to the light of the morning sun, I find myself craving the dried fenrir meat from yesterday… Upon eating some, the spicy aftertaste that lingers on my tongue tastes entirely of curry. I-is this seriously what [Hades Mandragora] tastes like…? It’s not as though I don't find it delicious, but it doesn’t at all feel like high-class food to me.
Now that we've all rested, we’ll resume our exploration. The objective is to raise our levels. I’d like for Aro, the nightmare and magiatite to be able to evolve, but it might be better if I focus on my own levelling a bit more.
…Still, it’s at times like these that new monsters don’t turn up. Perhaps we should head to the summit and challenge the [Clay Guardians] and [Shub-Niggurath]… No, they might still be a bit too much for us.
I know I won’t grow stronger if I avoid strong opponents. As long as I don’t know when the Saint will attack, it’s dangerous to delay. Even though I know that, the [Clay Guardian’s] [Direct Burst] is too dangerous. Besides, even if I get past them, I don’t know if there could be something even worse waiting beyond. I should put it off a little longer.
Thinking that we should try exploring in the opposite direction of the summit some more, we follow the river downstream and then walk along the coast… Something like a fenrir would be perfect right now, but it’s at times like these that they don’t show up. We might have hunted a few too many so that they’re cautious now. I wouldn't even mind if we ran into that killer queen again…
As we walk, I notice that even though we’re nowhere near the summit, the fog seems to be getting thicker… Is there something in this direction too? I thought for sure that the summit of the mountain was the source of the fog, but that might not have been correct. I’m a little confused, but let’s keep walking.
As we continue, a huge slender shadow appears overhead. Something is flying in the air. There's not just one shadow, there's three… No, five of them. As I hold still, they draw closer, revealing their blue body surfaces.
They're huge eels, each nearly ten metres long. They have huge fins on their sides, almost like wings. They don't have just one pair of fins, but around five sets spaced along their long bodies.
