Chapter 268 - 267 - Gloria. (1/2)

Looking at the map once again, Meduz decided to walk towards Risrid.

Not knowing exactly how far it was from the forest to Risrid, Meduz wondered if she should even do that, but after a while, she decided to head get more information.

Since she had regained her speed, it wouldn't take that long.

So going northeast, she started running between the trees to get out of the forest and reach Risrid.

And many hours passed. Inside the forest, she encountered only wild animals that were easily killed despite their great strength and speed.

And when it was evening, she finally managed to get out of the forest safely.

”Haaa~~ Fortunately, I didn't encounter any demons or anything like that. Just the animals were enough to make me use all my strength.” Meduz said as she sighed with relief.

She then began to slowly walk across the plain she had found after crossing the forest.

”It's quite a wide place, there aren't even any trees around here. Just grass and flowers... It's a beautiful place. I think I'll walk during the night, it's not a good idea to camp here.”

Afraid of being attacked, Meduz decided to stay awake during the night and continued walking across the long plain.

Along the way, she encountered some armadillo-like animals, some giant bats flying in the sky, and also some goblins.

Unlike the previous world, the goblins were the size of a human and had toned muscles. Their strength was high and the weapons and armor they used were of high quality.

In addition, they were intelligent and talked to each other as if they were human, but in a language that Meduz could not understand.

Fortunately, even though they were intelligent and had some strength, they were still low-ranking monsters, so they were all killed by Meduz.

Using only her claws, she began to cut off the heads of all of them.

They had strength but were poor in speed. Unable to keep up with Meduz's movements, the group of goblins was wiped out.

”It was easier than I thought, but surprisingly, goblins here are so strong. Why did Zeus create such a difficult world? Maybe the strength of the world has to do with the strength of its creator? I never asked my master about that.”

Thoughtfully, Meduz followed her walk across the green plain until the sun rose.

####

When the sun rose, Meduz found a huge precipice. When the end of the plain came, Meduz found nothing but a large hole opened in the ground.

Just below it was a waterfall that flowed down the wall and into a lake.

Next to the lake was a lot of vegetation, it was like an oasis.

”Should I go around this hole or should I jump down there? It might be fun to jump straight down from up here into that lake.” Meduz almost let her childish instincts overpower her, but she controlled herself.

”No, I should move on to find some town.” She cleared her mind and then started to go around the big hole.

It was a hole with kilometers of diameter, so she used her speed.

As she ran around the hole, she started looking down to see if she could find anything, but she found nothing but a big lake of blue water with some giant fish.

When she reached the end of the hole, she found a steep dirt slope leading down to the lake, so she decided to go down.

When she got there, she looked around and saw nothing but the earth walls and some trees that were growing there.

And in the middle was the lake that was quite intimidating.

When Meduz approached it, she was suddenly attacked by a huge fish with sharp teeth that bit the edge of the lake and almost swallowed her.

Because of this Meduz decided to climb the dirt ramp again get out of that huge hole and stay away from that lake.

But she marked this place in her mind because it would be a nice place to visit later. It was very interesting.

After getting out of the hole, she kept moving towards Risrid. And with her speed, she managed to find the first town just as it was getting dark.

####

When Meduz approached the town she noticed that the wall that was normally made of brick was made of iron. The gate was also made entirely of iron which made the town look like a military fort.

'Or maybe this place is a military fort?' Curious, Meduz knocked a few times on the gate.

After a few seconds had passed, someone shouted Meduz.

”Who's there?!” It was a loud, high-pitched voice that sounded like a woman's.

Meduz in surprise turned away from the gate and looked up.

Since the moon was behind the back of the person standing on the wall, Meduz could not see the exact appearance of that person.

But from the silhouette, she could imagine that was a half-animal person.

Pointed ears and a tail just behind its body.

”I am a visitor, could you please let me in?!” Meduz shouted for the person on the wall to hear.

”A visitor? Where did you come from?”

”I came from the snow mountain a few kilometers from here. I was staying in the mountain ogre village!”

”In the ogre village? Are you sure?”

”That's right. Don't worry, I'm not someone dangerous.”
