After flying for several hours at tremendous speed, Azaline and Geeta could finally see the land of the Eastaria continent from the distance after passing the pacific ocean. Just like the rumors they heard before, the Eastaria continent filled with untouched vast forest.

“Young queens, We’re descending. There are lots of sensory barriers above the skies made by the Owlfolks to sense if there is an aerial attack coming towards their kingdom. My size will make them alert, so we need to go on foot from here,” said the Sky King.

“I see… Okay, Corvus. Thank you for your hard work,” Thanked Azaline as she ready herself for a tough journey.

As they descend to the ground, Corvus transformed into a small bird and flew towards Azaline’s head.

“Even though I’ve transformed into this small form, I could still use some of my magic and skills, young queens. I’ll try my best to not become a burden along the way,” Said Corvus the Sky King with an unexpectedly high-pitched voice that similar to a child.

“Pfft! Corvus! I never expected that the one that transformed is not only your form but your voice too!” Geeta covers her mouth as she tried to not laugh at the mini-sized Sky King.

“How rude! My voice became like this because my vocal cords got smaller too every time I transformed into this small form!” Protested Corvus the Sky King.

“Pfft! Yet you called yourself the ‘Sky King’…” Geeta continued to laugh as she heard the Sky King’s voice.

“Y-You ugly goblin and your rude mouth… No wonder his imperial majesty forget about you…” Scoffed Corvus the Sky King.

“W-W-W-What did you say, you stupid bird!? W-W-W-Who forgets whom!? Say it once again if you dare!!!” Geeta replied furiously.

“Stop it, you two. Corvus, don’t mention Ren’s name like that, not only Geeta, it made me felt sad too,” Azaline cut the fight that about to begin between the Goblin’s queen and the Sky King.

“I’m sorry…” (Corvus the Sky King)

“And Geeta, don’t ridicule Corvus’s voice, he’s my familiar, remember?” (Azaline)

“Hehe~ Sorry, but I couldn’t help but laugh since his voice at this form completely ruins his ‘Sky King’ image~ Sorry, Corvus,” (Geeta)

“It’s fine. I’m sorry too, young Geeta,” Corvus the Sky King apologized towards Geeta too.

Geeta still has the urge to laugh when she heard Corvus’s voice again as she is fighting with herself to not have the corner of her mouth curled upwards. Azaline noticed it and could only let out a sigh as she looks at her best friend.

“It’s fine, Corvus. Your voice is cute. Now, where should we go? Um… Corvus?” Asked Azaline.

“Ugh… The damage towards my pride as the Sky King for getting called cute is surprisingly high… But since it’s my master that said it as a compliment I couldn’t even get angry… *Sigh*” Corvus muttered towards himself as he emitting a depressing aura.

“Azaline… You sure have no mercy…” Said Geeta as she tapped at Azaline’s shoulder.

*Cough* *Cough*

Corvus cleared his throat as he about to explain about the way, but he’s completely clueless that his child-like cough felt so adorable to Azaline and Geeta.

“At my last journey towards this continent, this is the place where our battle commenced. So I myself never even take a glimpse of the Owlfolks’ kingdom. But back then, our leader only said that we should go east and we will meet the nearest Owlfolk kingdom,” (Corvus)

“I see… Then let’s go, we can’t leave our kingdom too long, after all,” (Azaline)

Following Azaline’s words, they departed to the east. The forest isn’t filled with many dangers as how the magical forest of Everdeen used to be. But it’s normal since the reason why Everdeen forest is called the magical forest is that the very dense amount of various mana elements resides inside the land, growing countless valuable and strengthening plants that made the magic beasts residing inside the magical forest become stronger too.

The strengthening plants got eaten by the herbivores, the strengthened herbivores got eaten by the carnivores and the strengthened carnivores that have a dense amount of mana element died and return the mana towards the land. The cycle goes on and made the magical forest of Everdeen filled with dangerous creatures despite holding lots of unimaginable valuable resources. The dangerous magic beasts that have higher intelligence than usual magic beasts are the reason why people avoided the magical forest despite having countless valuable resources.

Azaline and Geeta encounter some magic beasts like the Ectra Python, Jade Falcon, Goblins, and Giant Tarantula, but they don’t possess any high intelligence or even special elemental mana inside their body like the magic beasts at the magical forest of Everdeen did. They only fight with brute force and some normal skills they had, which made them a feast for Azaline, Geeta, and their familiars.

“I never know that we’re so lucky to be born and live in the magical forest of Everdeen…” Geeta muttered as she remembers the goblin that attacked her and Azaline a few hours before. They attacked them, but since Geeta is also a goblin, she didn’t want to kill them, but they can’t even communicate or even understand her words.

Since the goblins keep on attacking them, they didn’t have any choice but to kill them in defense.

“I used to consider the forest to be hell. We goblins are very weak, even the discrepancy between our best warrior’s strength and an orc’s strength is very different. We need a [Count] ranked goblin to manage to kill a [Viscount] ranked Orc, that’s how weak we used to be,” (Geeta)

“Since we didn’t know any martial arts back then, all we knew is fight with brute force, while using a weapon is our biggest advantage. Luckily, my brother and his friends ranked up rather quickly. We finally manage to survive even if there are lots of things that happened. We became stronger after we got the direwolves became our familiars, but still, we still considered the magical forest is still hell,” (Geeta)

“Every month, there will always casualties because of an attack. Every month, we will always get attacked by other magic beasts. It’s an unstoppable war to survive. But after looking at that goblin before, their body is so small, with their strength, they won’t even survive an hour inside the magical forest, and they couldn’t even communicate with each other which is one of our greatest weapons…” (Geeta)

“The hell turned out to be a paradise instead… Well, it is a paradise for us now, though,” Geeta shrugged.

“True. The magical forest gives lots of benefits to its inhabitants. That’s why the humans feared the forest, well we feared the forest too, though. But we’ve experienced that because the thought of unity between the other inhabitants never crossed our mind since all of us are strong, and none of us wants to share the valuable resources of the forest,” (Azaline)

“You’re not wrong, but you Elves still looked the same whenever you were born. It’s somehow saddening to see that my fellow race to be that weak and fragile…” Muttered Geeta as she imagined that the goblins across the world are all similar to the goblins she just met before.

Not knowing what to reply, Azaline hugged Geeta from behind for a while.

“Let’s change the topic, shall we?” Said Azaline.

“Yup, I wonder what the Owlfolk kingdom looks like~” Geeta returns to her cheerful mode.

But as they continued their journey, several malicious presences suddenly appeared from behind them. The malicious presence is emitting a disturbing familiar aura that made cold sweat drop from Azaline and Geeta’s face.

Azaline and Geeta stare at each other and nods towards each other. Azaline ready her bow while Geeta unsheathes her sword.

The malicious presence approached them slowly from above. They’re emitting demonic mana just like the demons they fought before. Azaline is not concerned with their individual strength, since she could sense that their individual strength is not that powerful.

But the problem is…

Their number…

Keeps on increasing…

“Young queens…” Warned Corvus the Sky King.

“Yes, Corvus… Should we consider fleeing by riding you, Corvus?” Asked Azaline.

“They’re weak, and it seems that they’re not approaching us because they’ve sensed us. It looks like that they’re just coincidentally flying in our direction. What about hiding?” Asked Corvus.

“Yes, let’s-” Before Azaline could agree, suddenly a loud and creepy cry sounded above them.

“W-Wha!?” (Geeta)

A huge demonized bird suddenly appears above them without them noticing, only able to grit their teeth and ready themselves, Azaline grips her bow strongly as she remembers her mother.

“Die!!!” (Azaline)
