Chapter 29: Could’ve gone better!

Dreams have different meanings and even if you showed the same person the same dream it was hard to tell if it would have the same meaning to them…At the same time the meaning of Elizabeth Jr’s dreams seemed quite self evident.In front of her stood a 7 foot tall figure that exudes a presence that can only be said to be that of a ruling god. But - even then - through the veil of her majesty Eel could sense a warm, welcoming presence calling to her to be at ease.Even then, she wasn’t afraid, she had seen this figure too many times already to be afraid of her and if one thinks historically about her bloodline’s rumors as well as her race one could guess who this figure could be.In fact, one could guess what this was.Inheritance.Most of the time she learned little bits and pieces that seemed to matter not - such as how a certain underwater species will eat or how moss that grows on some creatures have specific assets.But, the more she learned the more she figured it likely would all come together.Though, it was hard to describe how she ‘learned’ as it was instinctual. Like a seal had unlocked in her brain or a warm flow of energy in her head. It also occasionally had the woman in front of her make some action but she doubted the woman was really here.It seemed more like a shadow of her than anything else since she never spoke or answered but just taught - but from what she learned from the shadow itself this was common among ‘Spirit Beasts’.Apparently dragons weren’t exactly the only of their ‘type’ to be somewhat between a monster and human but rather they came first into the world and humans by comparison were new. Examples are that Photon The {True Hero} was a fucking Lion! Like, he wasn’t just based around lions but he was actually a lion! <I wonder how that works in bed… Eh, I don’t want to be beheaded for treason if I go to the Empire in the future so I’ll keep the thought in here~♥>Elves apparently originated from a race of Spirit Fox - one of said foxes actually appeared in other dreams as well to teach her stuff! Though, he was red with many tails and mostly taught about two things which were repetitive but interesting!And he smelt like blood which was a plus!Cutting shit down with swords and all about dragons - specifically how to exploit them for easy kills!From his inheritance in particular she actually picked up ‘some’ skills that could become an ace in her hole!***But, right now she was learning all about the effect the many moons had on the tide and how adjusting them can easily cause some effects with far less energy consumption if one had a specific set of magic.At this point though, something seemed to click. Standing up from the floor to point at the figure she was about to shout something but suddenly her consciousness was pulled away viciously from those plump mommy milkers and into the cruel and cold reality.Waking up she would see Emily with a worried look on her sleepy face - gently shaking Eel back and forth but turned into her more massaging on her breast  than anything else.<Ah~ never mind, this is also pretty good~! Even worried she looks adorable with her feeble attempts at physical labour~♥>Emily went to open her mouth to say something but Eel was quicker as she moved her arm expertly to scoop up Emily onto her shoulder from the waist with her right arm while she grabbed her spear with her left, darting out the tent with lightning speed before a large *THUMP* signaled a {Giant Green Lizard} slamming it’s foot down onto the tent where they once were. Hopping lightly and turning around, she skid backwards before standing beside an also worried Fuka.“Ya certainly can sleep…” <Fuka>“Correction - I sleep until I needn’t~! I made it out didn’t it?” <Eel>She gently placed the somewhat dizzy Emily down onto the ground behind them as she turned to look at the scene in front of her with a fierce smile.“Eel, I think we should run…” <Fuka>

“I refuse to run away from some sub-dragons~!” <Eel>

It at first may sound like she was just displeased for the usual reason dragon’s dislike sub-dragons… But the grin on her face seemed more like she was pleased than angry at the creatures.

In front of the trio would be a giant green lizard that was staring them down while in the air would be the even more highly ranked than the High B-Rank creature in front of them.

Flapping it’s two large bat-like wings as it’s claws seemed ready to maul something - flying over to the trio and the giant green lizard. It was also a lizard with orangey-red scales and a bad temper - a wyvern would be flying over with a fierce roar!To this roar Eel would just grin more - lowering her stance like a beast about to pance as her right hand lifted in the air as if grasping something. Her right leg sliding behind her - truly seeming like she was about to spring forward with mad fervour.

“Looks like it’s a party~♥ You can leave but I’mma stay and teach them what a real dragon looks like, you green cretin and winged rat~!” <Eel>After saying that she would reel her right hand back as a bright light suddenly blinded all who looked at her - a javelin formed from light appeared in her clenched hand before she moved her whole body forward into a mighty throw.The zipped towards the left wing of the Wyvern as it’s flight turned turbulent - screeching due to being blined while the green cretin thrashed around on the floor. She didn’t wait to see if her move hit or study if they were truly blind.Instead, she followed everyone's expectations and shot forward while using her right hand like a claw to pull herself forward - pounding on the floor like the battle cry of a mad beast.

She didn’t need to be careful about attracting attention through sound - they were too busy screaming due to their burnt retina’s to listen for her. Not to mention she heard a large bang followed by a wave of dust and debris from the forest in front of them contributed quite a bit to helping keep attention away from.

Taking advantage of this she thrust her spear forward towards the biggest open target she could find - which required her running straight past the front of the green cretin to arrive at it’s thrashing tail. Eventually as the thrashing slowed down but with her next action it increased quite a bit!Imbuing her spear with light magic she would thrust it forward with a nasty grin on her face - following that the scream of the lizard was louder than before as Eel attempted to jump back but she underestimated the Green Cretin.A muscular green tail whipped towards her left - connecting with the spear she tried to use as a block and passing through it with an explosion power and a roar of the air escaping. The snapping sound made her open her eyes wide but soon the pain her her side took over her mind for a moment. Like a rag doll she flew - disorientated for a second as she was rolling in the air - crashing straight through the treeline before she could even react. Not only that, she was sent through quite a lot of trees.By the time she finished she was on the floor with her back on her floor - her shredded skin already healed for the most part but her outfit certainly didn’t. Coughing up some blood she would look to see if she could find her spear but she lost it long ago.“Not like I could’ve continued to use it anyway…” <Eel>Sighing, a bit disappointed in herself for giving such an unsightly view in front of Emily.Twisting herself with some effort, as her insides basically looked like a strawberry slushy, she pressed her right hand on the floor to slowly push herself up and turned around to see how far she was sent before stumbling back to rest against the half fallen tree that ‘caught her’.Seeing the line of destruction and hearing the thrashing around she’d chuckle.“Must’ve been a male~♥”Waiting for her regeneration to smoothen out the edges she thought to herself about what to do now.<Could’ve gone better but that should’ve given those two times to escape so all that’s left is to figure out what I should do… Well, I am a hunter and the number one rule of hunting is to take advantage of the situation to its fullest! Those two beasties will probably fight with each other now or at the very least the Wyvern would… If I damaged the wing enough it will struggle to take flight so it’ll need some food after all but a wyvern on the ground is hardly as high ranked as one in the air so the Green Cretin should be able to hold HIS own. Then, even if they decide to retreat I can take out one with... >Then something came to mind and she pouted, looking at her empty left hand.“Looks like I’ll have to make use of my bloodline as much as I hate using it…” <Eel>Holding her left hand up it turned into a ‘clawed gauntlet’ but she still continued to pout. Although she was fine a couple years ago she’d reached that age where she became petty about the weirdest things. Her thing was not being able to transform into her true form but still ‘pretending’ by making use of it in this way.“Oh well, I’d rather be a bit pouty than miss a good meal~♥” <Eel>Trying to cheer herself up as she walked calmly towards the loud sound of trashing bodies with her usual smug smile.“I wonder how good it’ll taste to eat a sub-dragon~♥” <Eel>
