846 A Floating Island
This is the third day of our date. But does it take this long for a date?
I feel like this is no longer a date. This is more like a honeymoon.
Though it feels more like usual exploration than a date. Because that’s what we did in these past three days.
I guess this is why the other girls didn’t mind it if I stay with Shelia for this long. Because they know that Shelia would prefer fighting monsters than a regular date. So they don’t feel jealous at all toward Shelia for staying with me for days.
I do occasionally got a contact from Victoria. Telling me what’s happening on her side, while I told her what’s happening on this side.
Seems like they are enjoying their lives quite a bit. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelFɪre.net
After the battle on those islands and fighting those who targeted Shirley for reaching master level, there were no movement at all by the cult. so everyone can relax for a bit. Though some were still focusing on improving their strength.
Like Kayla and Celestine for example. They are busy cultivating in the presence of the earth spirit.
As for Sara, she’s way too busy now with her duty. She even said that she will quit her duty as a noble in the future and focus on reaching master level instead.
.....
I think it’s because Albert lacked the capable people who can be appointed as a noble. That’s why he picked Sara who is smarter than most agents in politic.
Though now that she has been a noble for so long, and because of her sense of duty, she rarely have enough time to relax. So she said that she will stop being a noble in the near future.
...As soon as she’s done with what she needs to do first. And her job keeps increasing every day. So it will still be a while until she can really be free from her duty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIs it that hard finding someone who can do politic? Or maybe they have to be descendant of a noble to become one? I don’t know. I don’t know how to be a noble. And I’m not interested in it.
Whatever. I just hope that my first air magic student to be well.
Speaking of a student, how about my disciple, Jewel?
With her beastform, there are not many attack that can injure her. And her lightning magic is second only to Candy. So she’s already one of our strongest mages.
In her hybrid form, she’s wearing armor that can protect herself. And her physical strength also improved. And now that she has grown so much stronger, just like the other master level mages who trained their bodies, I also taught her to fight with a weapon and how to fight barehanded.
Since she’s already covered in armor, she doesn’t need a shield. And if she wants to charge forward, she can transform into her rhino form. So she won’t use a lance either.
Her weapon of choice is a simple one. A war hammer. And the blacksmith has made one for her. It was a good weapon.
It’s amazing how a beastform mage can transform anything on their body into a beast. Even if Jewel is carrying a war hammer on her back, it will transform alongside her. So when she transformed back to her human form or hybrid form, she will have a weapon already prepared.
How does that make sense? Magic. Because magic doesn’t always have to make sense.
...No, magic itself doesn’t make sense. And the people using them are mostly stupid as well. That’s why there are wars.
Anyway, Jewel is practicing fighting with a war hammer now. I’ll spar with her when I return. Maybe she will improve by then. Though it’s just a few days, so I doubt there will be any significant change.
For now, I will enjoy my unusual date with Shelia first. And our destination this time is a floating island in the sky.
I haven’t been around this place before, so this is my first time seeing that island. Though I have seen a floating island before. That’s where I first met Graham and the other angels after all. Though that one has cloud as the ground.
“So, do you want to fly into that island?” I asked Shelia. The one who suggested we go there.
“Yeah. Do you see anyone there? I don’t smell anyone,” Shelia asked.
“Not yet. I don’t think there’s anyone there. It’s just an empty island above the cloud. Though unlike the one in the village that can move around with the wind so we need to tie it down to the village, this one stays in one place,” I replied.
The island didn’t move at all. Even though there are winds and I can see the clouds in the surrounding are moving, this one didn’t move at all. So it’s weird. And it piqued our curiosity.
What is in that flying island?
It’s not big, so when we get closer, I can see everything. And there’s... really nothing there. It’s just an island that float in the sky.
“There’s nothing here. What should we do?” I asked Shelia.
“I want this as a souvenir!” Shelia said.
...What? A floating island as a souvenir?
“Are you serious?” I asked.
“Yeah! It has been fun exploring with just the two of us. But it will end soon, right?”
“If you want, you can ask me to go with you on another time though,” I said.
“Yeah, but this time is this time. That will be for another time. And I want this island,” Shelia said.
“Sigh... if you put this island in the village, if it can be moved though, people will notice. And maybe monsters and also cult members who saw it will attack the village just because the village is under the island... but I bet most of you will welcome it,” I said.
“That’s right! If on Earth they are aiming for Shirley, then they can aim for our village in this world!” Shelia said.
That... is actually a smart move.
The Monsters World should be bigger than Earth. At least it has more lands than the Earth. I don’t know much since I have never really travel around the world.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere should be many other bases that the cult prepared here to tame monsters. If they see the floating island, they would go there only to be greeted by ferocious monsters who will attack strangers.
The only way a human can enter the village is if the monsters recognize us. And as the werewolves and probably the weretigers as well have amazing sense of smell, they can recognize us from miles away. And if they don’t recognize the people coming, then they are enemies.
“Well, that’s actually a good plan. But we need everyone’s agreement first. Even the kings on Earth needed to be informed. Though I think anything related to Monsters World will be mostly my responsibilities, so I’m sure they will allow it if I ask them,” I said.
“That’s good! Then let’s do it!” Shelia said.
“Well, I need to bring them to see this floating island first. But before that, we need to see if we can actually move this floating island or not,” I said.
Now, how do we move an island?
It’s not big. Just around 5 km in diameter. And unlike where the angels live, there’s no cloud under the island. So it’s floating on its own.
Even when I see the inside of the island, there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s just floating. What a magical island.
So I tried placing some stakes on the island, and attach them with Blobbyropes. Then I tried pulling it while getting Shelia to watch if it’s moving or not.
I used a lot of my strength just to move it a little bit. But it really can move. We can bring this floating island anywhere we wants.
“Ah! Why don’t you try making a huge portal? Now that you have reached master level, you should be able to do it now,” Shelia suggested.
What the hell? Now I have to listen to an idea suggested by someone who loves fighting? Where did all my cleverness disappear?
But yeah, now that I’m a master level summoner, I should be able to make even bigger portal. Maybe I can even get Andro to Earth with portal?
“I’ll do that later. For now, I will tell the others about what we found. Or maybe we should do it later and continue with the date?” I asked.
“Then let’s this day be our last day. I smell a large group of monsters before. How about we eradicate it for the last day of the date?” Shelia suggested.
Only her would think that eradicating an entire tribe of monsters as a way to end a date. But this is a date for her to enjoy. So I guess it’s fine.
And so, before I contacted the others about what we found, we destroyed an entire tribe of insect-type monsters. It wasn’t hard to do. It was just annoying that the sounds they made when flying is too noisy.
Since I don’t like the noise, I got a bit more serious and killed a lot of them. Just like usual, I kill more than Shelia could. Though since she’s fine with it, then it’s all good.
Now, let’s see what we should do with this floating island.
