Chapter 20: Into the Hedge https://i.ibb.co/yFDGg5ZL/Forsaken-Raptor-Sheet.png The vicious creatures had bright and colorful feathers painting their body. It was a mixing of red and yellow that reminded Elanore of certain parrots native to the rain forests on Earth. Each of them had a large curved dew claw on the bottom of their bird like legs. Elanore watched as the leader of their pack of four leapt into the air, feathers extending to the side for aerodynamics. She tapped her staff against the ground, remembering a fundamental part of the game. She had no idea if this memory was applicable here, but she was sad that she’d only had a brief foray into magic. “[Dark Witch Arts – Disintegration.]” In the instant she cast her spell, purple mist launched from her staff this time, and it touched the raptors’ bodies. Each of them turned into ash in less than a second, and their black specs floated to the floor. Naela swallowed while watching the scene. “Mistress, don’t you think that was a bit overkill?” “Naela, it would be unfair if I never get to use magic! This whole time I have been worried about destroying things, but it should be fine in a dungeon, right?” The wyvern sighed. “I have no idea where you get your knowledge from, but dungeons aren’t indestructible. Gods can and have destroyed them before. The dungeon is only as strong as its master.” Elanore raised a pink eyebrow. “It seems that you know even more than you said!” The vampire was about ready to ask further questions, but something else caught her attention. The ashes of the creatures turned into mana particles and sank into the floor. I see, so that was similar to the game… In the next instant, items appeared where their bodies used to be. There was a tiny mana core, and a couple of dew claws. “[Inspect].” https://i.ibb.co/235DWrmH/Forsaken-Raptor-s-Mana-Core.png https://i.ibb.co/Lz7qHH11/Forsaken-Raptor-s-Dew-Claw.png The vampire grinned before reaching down and picking them up. She placed each of them inside of her inventory. Then a sudden thought occurred to her while she was looking at the stone walls of the hallway. “How come there are no adventurers inside of this place? Those monsters didn’t seem to be that hard.” The wyvern shrugged. “For most humans, even something like that could be a challenge. My wizard friend told me that most humans stay within the city walls and have other people protect them. Besides, I think that adventuring is not very common in this country.” “Oh? Why is that?” “It’s because of this forest. For humans, this place is dangerous. If they didn’t have their walls to protect them, they would not live long.” Elanore’s eyes widened, and she remembered the battle the wyvern had with those humans at that fortress. What were those people even doing there? Why make a fortress so far out into the forest? No matter how much Elanore tried to rack her brains to conjure up some kind of answer, she kept getting distracted with other thoughts. For example, there was the raptor mana crystal inside of her inventory, and she just realized her own hunger. The vampire resummoned it and pressed it against her lips. Her fangs clamped down, and sweet juice started to flow onto her tongue. Oh, this one is mango flavored. Though, the delightful taste came and went, the only natural effect of having a tiny mana core. Elanore sighed and frowned, but a certain cauldron was there to cheer her up. “It’s okay, your majesty. There are bound to be more of these things if we continue further.” Elanore nodded and started walking through the stone hall. Along the walls, there were torches that remained lit, despite there being nobody to tend to them. It didn’t take the group long to arrive at a completely different part of the dungeon by following the hall. In front of the group, the place opened up into a grassy room. Darkness covered the landscape, and above them stars shone their light to the ground. Green hedges started a maze, and on the other side of the place the
