Chapter 492 - Golden Ray
When Nausica was busy fending off her enemies, Angor’s group also bumped into several flying rays that could release cold energy into the environment.
Unlike most of the monster fishes they saw before, each of these rays had a wingspan of over 20 meters. There was also a shiny, golden ray among them that was twice the size of others.
With each flap of their “wings”, more freezing air would emerge from their formation. Slowly, the condensing air had blocked all paths around.
The rays were clearly hostile. One of them already sent a comet-like ice orb into the rear of Gondola.
Hermes immediately leapt away from the boat and unleashed his own sandstorm attack, which blew all other incoming ice comets away.
“Guess we have to get serious this time…” Hermes set his gaze upon the biggest, golden ray. “I’ll handle that one. As for the rest of them…” Hermes looked at Tana. “You just do something. I’ll leave Alan and Loki in your hands.”
“No objections.” Tana put her hands on the floor of the boat and arched her back. Slowly, her body turned into a brown, winged leopard and flew ahead to engage the smaller rays.
Carveline also moved. She was wearing her usual, unchanged armor dress while holding a longsword in one hand.
Hermes saw Tana feeling sad and approached to hold her shoulder. “Don’t worry. We can use the garden challenge to purify our spirits, and you can choose a main subject from now on. You still got a bright future.”
Tana pushed him away. “I planned as much. By the way, Angor? What did you do to scare that monster away?”
“Oh. It’s a cantrip called ‘Fear’.”
…
They enjoyed some peace after the fight against the rays.
No one really cared where exactly they were heading to. Hermes believed Angor chose a specific direction for a good reason.
Sinehowze was already working on the meal she promised earlier, and the others all wondered what they would enjoy when a Gourmet apprentice was on the team.
When Sinehowze took out her materials from her space necklace, Angor noticed that her pink, butterfly-shaped pendant was actually one of the storage items he gave Devildare to repay his debt to Twilight Auction. He was quite surprised to meet with his old creation in such a situation.
Although he didn’t say anything about it. Instead, he carefully watched Sinehowze’s moves while hoping to learn something from her. His own Mana Bread always tasted like old socks, and nobody could tell him why. Greya did tell him to give up on studying Gourmet.
However, as a young man who wouldn’t admit defeat easily, when he saw a chance to observe a Gourmet cook, he simply decided to take advantage.
