Dennis and the cow were fighting for a few hours with the firakans. There seemed to be no end to them and despite putting so much effort, they haven’t even killed half the firakans present around them.
Dennis was starting to get tired and the destruction spells took a good amount of spiritual power from him. There were other elements he had an affinity to and decided to use the ones which would deal more damage and use less spiritual power.
Dennis was chanting and was about to use the other elemental spells when…
“Yo, Dennis. Need help?”
Dennis heard a familiar voice and turning his head towards the source, he saw Lith flying in the air a few meters besides him and killing firakans.
Lith was traversing the snowy mountain range and only after a few minutes of flying, he saw thousands of firakans flying around a certain mountain peak. To go to the other side of the mountain range, Lith needed to pa.s.s through them.
Just as Lith neared the firakans, they attacked him. Lith killed them and was flying forwards when he saw someone else attacking the firakans. He flew to the source of the fight and to his surprise, he saw Dennis fighting. It wasn’t just Dennis, there was a cow fighting alongside him.
Lith found Dennis and thought about eliminating him but looking at how he was fighting firakans with a companion, he didn’t eliminate him as doing so would result in him teleporting out of the dimension and his companion would be left stranded.
Lith could figure out that Dennis found a beast companion for himself and thought in the best interests of his friend and didn’t eliminate him, while also asking whether he needed help.
“Your Highness! When did you come here?” Joy was visible on Dennis’s face when he found Lith. Not just that, he was even asking if Dennis wanted help!
Despite being happy and having made up his mind to seek help from Lith, the first words that came out of his mouth were completely different from what he was thinking, and even he didn’t know why this was the case.
“Stop asking useless questions, Dennis. Do you need help or not?” Lith asked with a smile while killing a few firakans with a slash from his sword.
“Ah yes. Yes, yes. Of course, I need help.” Dennis replied hurriedly.
Lith chuckled and got close to Dennis and the cow. He held onto their shoulders and casting Short Jump, he teleported them a few kilometers away from the firakans. He then teleported himself back to the place where they were previously.
Lith then cast a Rank 2 Fire spell Fire Wall and flames erupted from him and with him as the center, surrounded him in a circle with a radius of 100 meters. The firakans within this radius got burned to death and the ones that tried to cross the Flame Wall got severely burnt.
Lith then willed the Wind elements around and increased the intensity of the flames. Hundreds of firakans died by his one move. Dennis didn’t have Fire or Wind affinity and couldn’t perform such a task.
He did have AOE spells to use but that would cost a lot of his spiritual power and doing so would lead him to be in a pickle. Dennis avoided using it for this reason. Lith, however, had no problem using it. The speed at which his spiritual power restored was very fast and the amount required to cast AOE spells was also less due to him having a masterful control over the spell casting.
Lith then willed the Water elements in the surroundings and caused a snow storm that swept the firakans away. He once again willed the elements and caused ice spikes to rain down in the firakans. He killed the firakans with the attacks they themselves were proficient in.
Dennis and the cow watched Lith cast spells and kill the firakans so easily in awe and respect.
The cow turned its head to Dennis and mooed, “Moo Moo.”
“That’s right, I know him. He’s His Highness is my best friend and also my Prince.” Dennis replied smugly.
“Moo.” The cow nodded its head in amus.e.m.e.nt. This useless guy in front of him wasn’t very useless it seems. He had good friends.
Dennis could tell what the cow was thinking. He bonked the cow’s head with the side of his palm and said, “I am not useless. I would’ve used AOE spells now but His Highness came at the right time and I didn’t have to.”
“Moo, Moo.” The cow shook its head. Excuses, pathetic excuses. Why don’t you just admit that you are useless and weak.
Dennis knitted his brows as he heard the cow’s reply. “You want to see my power? You think I am useless and weak? You looking for a fight, huh?”
“Moo.” The cow harrumphed. What’s there to think when it has already seen his useless ways?
The two kept bickering with each other while Lith was busy killing the firakans. A few minutes pa.s.sed and all the firakans were killed by Lith. He flew to where Dennis and the cow were and said,
“Let’s go. The safe zone could shrink anytime.”
“Your Highness, but we need to collect the cores of the firakans. It could sell for a good amount of money and can also be used for making potions, pills, and artifacts.”
“Yes, I know, Dennis. I’ve picked them up already. Bring your ring closer to mine, I’ll transfer you your share.” Lith replied to Dennis.
“Ah, no, no. I didn’t do much. His Highness can keep everything.” Dennis shook his head and rejected the loot.
“That won’t do. You’ve been fighting them for so long and killed so many, you deserve half the share at least. And your companion here, I’ve seen him fight too. Take it.” Lith said calmly.
Dennis sighed and gave up. He extended his hand forward and Lith touched his own spatial ring with his and transferred him 80% of the loot. The loot not just had cores but also teeth and bones of the firakans. The teeth and bones were also pretty useful in pills, potions, and artifact making.
Dennis was shocked when he saw the amount he got. He was about to argue with Lith that he got too much of the share but Lith didn’t give him a chance by placing his hands on his shoulder and at the cow’s and flying away with the help of wind elements.
Dennis was in mid-air and the only support it had was Lith’s hand on his shoulder. He wasn’t stable due to this and had to extend his wings out and fly together with Lith. The cow was stable because Lith provided good support to it. He didn’t to Dennis because he wanted Dennis to fly too.
Lith and Dennis, both supported the cow and flew towards their next destination, the desert region which was located in the middle-eastern part of the world. Lith provided a boost to their flying speed by willing the Wind elements around and the three people were flying towards this region at a very fast speed.
