Chapter 135: 129 Chapter 129

"What is that?..." Lucas muttered with an unsure expression on his face as he looked at the serpent in the far distance. Soon everyone looked in that direction and they narrowed their eyes as if unsure if what they were seeing was real.

From that distance the serpent didn't look large but the fact it could easily be spotted and was towering over all the islands and their mountains was testament to its gigantic size.

"It's possible another ruin similar to the one in the Newman Highlands must have been found." While everyone was still looking at the creature with awe, Juliet appeared and gave her theory on the matter. The first to react was Sharla who furrowed her brows when she considered that possibility. "Then shouldn't we turn back? It would be suicide to go forward without knowing exactly what to expect."

Sharla's words held logic and some members nodded at this including Lucas but Juliet shook her head without hesitation, her mind had already been made up. "I had already warned you all of the dangers we would face going forward. The La Belle will continue moving towards the islands, if that doesn't sit well with you then by all means leave the ship and swim back to Hazenloft."

Juliet's words were firm and left no room for discussion, the other members could only glance at each other with awkward expressions and wonder if she was really serious. Looking at her unamused and blank expression no one dared to test this.

"Ai,Ai captain." Scarlett saluted playfully with a grin on her face before returning within the airship to manually steer it. Juliet didn't respond to her remark but instead focused on the creature in the distance.

Lucas took this opportunity to try and ease the worries of everyone present and raise morale as the vice. "Be calm everyone, Lady Juliet is obviously confident enough in her ability to handle any threats that come our way. It's best we just support her anyway we can" Lucas suggested and everyone nodded hesitantly as his words did make some sense, if Juliet really was pushing forward then she had to at least be confident she would keep her life.

This assumption however was wrong. "No, I know nothing of that creature or if they are more like it. You're all better off forming a group and making a strategy focused on defense because I won't be able to protect you if it's past my ability." Juliet's words hit them like a splash of cold water and made them worry even more than before.

'The Komi also have some very powerful individuals among them, not to mention Lady Rose and Aron are also likely present so the chances of this threat being truly major are minuscule.' Juliet thought to herself and could only hope that was the case.

...

,m Meanwhile back on one of the outermost Islands, Lady Rose and Aron were discussing a similar issue.

"This may just turn into a very troublesome disaster." Lady Rose continued to observe the slowly approaching serpent with narrowed eyes while Aron was crouched down with his hand on the ground. He was attempting to track the elven woman using the aspect of the Horned Basilisk since the scent alone brought him no results and he couldn't detect her mana within his range either.

"Tsk, either she's very good at staying hidden or she's long gone already. As for the serpent, it will be troublesome for the locals but from what I know they should be some very powerful individuals among the clans of the Komi Islands." Aron stood up and replied to Lady Rose after his attempt to track the odd woman failed.

"True if they did work together they could handle this quite alright but the clans are at odds with each other. It's more likely they'll observe the creature destroy their rivals and kill it once it's weakened. Politics do exist even in the simplest of societies, Aron." Lady Rose explained before flicking her wrist and recalling her scouter, she too had sent it out to search for the elven woman but just like Aron it brought back no results.

"So then what are you trying to suggest? That we help?" Aron asked with a brow raised in curiosity. Thus far Rose hadn't been the least bit interested in any form of providing assistance, even when it came to the members of Aron's faction so why start now.

Lady Rose crossed her arms and shook her head as if amused by the question. "Oh nothing so heroic Aron, I simply don't want to let such a fine specimen go without studying it. I'm sure you're curious too as to what that ancient beast can tell us." She said with a smile.

"It looks hungry." Evanora pointed out what looked like drool leaking out from the corner of its mouth. Aron didn't bother correcting the simple minded Evanora and only gave her a pat on the head as he turned to Lady Rose. "Of course I'm curious, just not to the point where I'm willing to fight it."

Lady Rose also understood the logic behind Aron's words, rushing to fight a beast they knew nothing about could only be classified as stupidity. "I had told you before we set off that what I seek is knowledge and knowledge doesn't always come in the form of books or teachings, some of it comes through exploration, experimentation and testing..."

"After experimenting on the beasts in the Newman Highlands I learned that these beasts may be artificial rather than natural. If I continue down this line we could learn to create up to tier six or even higher beasts with intelligence. I'm sure you can think of numerous purposes for such a skill." Lady Rose pitched a very convincing argument that left Aron silent for a moment.

He began to recall his time with Argos back in Limbo and his rather odd teachings...

....

[ Tell me Aron, just how do you plan on becoming the most powerful person in Limbo ? ]
