Chapter 797: 782 Sky Monsters



The Argo.

The vessel that was once used by the Argonauts in the past. Of course, it was in the past. Now, it was just a vessel that could travel in many parts of the world unaffected by catastrophes like storms and disasters. Also, the original Argo only sails in the sea; now, it can sail on both land and sea. Despite a relic of the past, it is still being used to this day and people refer to this as the vessel that can travel anywhere you want.

Being able to ride the Argo twice is already a big achievement but even though it was one, it's not that much of an accomplishment especially since it was given by Queen Tanya for you me to be able to hitch a ride.

As the Argo ascends into the sky, one of the girls who are part of the people who seemed to be from the Kamikaze continent marveled at the view on the deck. Perhaps this is her first time flying in the air with the Argo though I can't blame her as the sight from above is quite fascinating to see.

Still, once we get near to the border of the Divine Winds, monsters will start swarming so I decided to hang out outside.

The crew of the Argo is busy enough that no one talked to me, even Tora and Holia are all busy with their work. A few minutes later, both Queen Tanya and Queen Tori went out of their rooms, with the former carrying her big scythe.

"Are the monsters already here yet?" Queen Tanya asked as she looked around anticipating the new monsters we will be fighting against.

"Not yet. Maybe a little bit later. We just crossed the border of Sandurk anyways so it might be soon enough. But we just needed to wait a little bit longer and those guys will soon be here."

But speak of the devil, it didn't take us a few seconds after I said it when the horn blows from the top of the mast where the lookout is currently checking the surrounding area of the ship for any enemies.

"BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

When the horn blows, everyone tensed and Tora issued a command.

"Ready the Ballista and load the cannons! Once the enemies are on the range, fire at will!"

The crew didn't waste their time and started putting all their work into motion. The girl who was watching the situation is confused about what is happening and one of the men she was with tries to bring her inside but based on their interaction, it seems she does not want to go and wants to see what is currently happening.

"Get ready, Bladeheart, Tori! We will soon be fighting! I can't wait to see our enemies!" Queen Tanya really does not hold back once it comes to a monster compared to fighting humans where she would hold back for quite a bit.

We went to the front deck of the ship and as soon as we reach it, the cannons fired and the ballista releases the giant harpoon arrow that latches to the enemy and fired on where everyone can then focus on killing the unfortunate beast. 

On the front deck as well, the monsters are now more visible and we finally know the monsters that are in the area.

The enemies were the dracos, a species believed to be the same species as a dragon but was soon revealed to be unrelated to one as dracos don't turn into dragons the longer they live and compared to dragons that can communicate if they formed a human ego or can even transform as one, but remain as hostile beasts. But this is the first time I have seen dracos venture out like this outside from a dungeon.

One thing is for sure, they are not to be trifled with, and with their levels a lot higher than mine, they will be not an easy sh*t to kill.

I pulled out my Versatile Weapon and stepped on the side deck before jumping off the Argo. Queen Tanya and Queen Tori also jumped off as well, causing the other people on board to panic seeing how we just jumped off.

However, they don't need to worry about us as we immediately landed on multiple wyverns and proceed to execute them as we mount on their backs.

The wyvern I landed on is one of the silver wyverns and it started to trash around as it tries to shake me off but I am quick at my and transformed the Versatile Weapon into a spear that is separate from the shield and stab the back of its neck causing the dragon to fly a bit higher to make another attempt at shaking me off, however, I just push the spear much deeper and the wyvern started coughing blood as its HP is slowly decreasing and even though I can only see question marks on the total number of the HP due to its level difference, the color indicator of the HP bar is enough indicator that I am inflicting damage to it.

Once the spear is deep enough, I immediately changed it to Katana and immediately performed [Decapitation].

Swish!

The wyvern's head fell and its body still flies a bit before it stopped as it dies. I jumped off the body before it stopped moving and activated my wings to elevate me a bit. Once I find a target to kill, I changed the weapon into hook and chain, hook the wyvern and pull myself to mount it, then repeat.

Queen Tanya is laughing maniacally as she cuts the dracos she comes across to pieces. Her quick movements look like she was walking in the air though she is just using the force of her attacks to move around, allowing her to look like she was walking in the air.

As for Queen Tori, using her shikigamis, she eviscerated most of them using her shikigamis that have sharp hands and kill anything in one go. Both of the queens are killing machines but that doesn't mean I will just let myself lose either.

Pulling out of the AOE scrolls in my scrolls pocket, I tear them apart and release the AOE attack spell, [Lightning Storm].

Multiple lightning strikes appear out of nowhere and strike down the flying dragons. Because it is an effective way to remove flying monsters, it is one of the spells I keep in my scroll pockets in case I needed one. As for my skill tree, I still have yet to buy this skill and I still can't afford it.

Anyways, the monsters were cleared out after the attack and the remaining enemies are afraid to get closer after seeing multiple dracos falling to their deaths. The three of us returned to the deck after work and waited for any new movement of the monsters.

"Don't let your guard down, people. Remain calm and reload all of the cannons and prepare the ballista once more. Also, give me the damage report!"

"No serious damages aside from one side of the ship caved in after one attack of the twin-headed wyvern but other than that, no concerning damage was inflicted on us!"

"Good! Keep up the defense. One weakness we show to them and they will immediately pounce on that opportunity!"

"Then we should use this chance to protect the ship. I will use a spell but it is needed to be maintained but in exchange, the ship will be protected," Queen Tori suggested.

"Please, if that can minimize the damage to the ship, then don't worry and we will protect you from any attacks."

"Wait, don't tell me you will be using the Cherry Blossom Barrier Dance?" I frowned.

"Yeah. It's a pretty good spell but I needed to continue dancing which is why I needed some protection as well because if I am attacked, the barrier will fall immediately."

"Heh, is it even necessary, Sis? I can just decimate every monster here and everything will be fine," Queen Tanya is smug about it.

"That doesn't mean you can protect the ship from any attacks immediately. Having a barrier will help mitigate their attacks until the time they will be killed."

"That is a good second way to deal with the threat. Go on, Your Majesty, we will do our best to protect you while you are doing it."

Queen Tori nodded and produced two fans as she started dancing. As she finished a few steps of the dance, cherry blossom petals starts to dance around the surroundings covering the ship from it while a transparent barrier appear as the cherry blossom petals also swirl around. Everyone marveled but they immediately got snapped by Holia.

"Heads up mateys! Don't let the cherry blossoms distract you! Get into positions and keep the ship safe!"

The wyverns might not be attacking just yet but I can tell that they are not stopping entirely. They are going to attack soon enough.
