Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 196 - Strangely Haunting, The Nafa



Mex looked at me like I was crazy as I put my arms out.

"What? I just carried you up here like this, and hey, why don\'t we just fly over?" I asked, and Mex shook his head no fast.

The sky\'s the last place you want to be! The fact that we weren\'t eaten getting out of the valley was pure luck! Why don\'t you think I would have suggested this before?" Mex asked and then added, "Also, I am not dying, and I need to swing the sword. I will just ride on your back."

That was fair, but what was this about the sky not being safe? What was with these worlds and their crazy ariel wildlife?

[None of this is natural.]

Fireden\'s voice surprised me.

\'What do you mean?\'

I motioned for Mex to get on my back as I listened. I agreed that nothing was natural, but what did that really mean in the grand scheme of it all?

[This world, and the previous all came into being, now of them were formed, but past that, I have no idea why. Not even the rocks that were here when each world appeared to know how it happened Grogvel asked.]

It was awkward to have Mex climb on my back, but not because he was a guy. I was buff when I came into this world, but now my body was lean, and Mex was much bigger than me.

Once he was on, I leaned forward and forced heat to pour off of me like a jet engine, lifting me into the air. I want to use some of my other totems, but Fireden warned me against it because It would be burning my reserves.

"So, you want to be flying downward slightly, but you will lose your sense of direction right away. You will need to use the sun to make sure that you are going in the right direction. As long as you keep it to your left, we should be through in less than ten minutes," Mex explained, and I nodded and waited for him to get comfortable on my back.

I felt Mex stab his hand out to the side, and after the count to three, and started to move forward. There was no sensation as I entered, but I did feel Mex get lighter, and he locked his legs around my waist.

"What is up in the sky?" I asked as Mex started to poke the stone.

Mex was worried about getting lost, but while I didn\'t have a map of the planet, I did have one of where I was and a compass. I thought I might keep this to myself this time and make it look like I was just a pro afterward.

"Strange transparent creatures that are very fast and will even attack their own kind and eat them. And you being a burning beacon really is bad for my health. They will even attack creatures and people on the ground, but that doesn\'t happen as often and only if the person is jumping in the air a lot," Mex said to me, as he constantly shoved big rocks out of the way.

The small ones were fine, and the big ones weren\'t terrible because none of them had any weight. The danger lay in the large groups that were already pushed into one another.

There were some rocks that got into groups, and they became hard to move because they bounced off each other. The rocks could be moved and broken apart with multiple pushes, but the clump really didn\'t look much different from the rest.

When two clumps came together, rocks were crushed and smashed, and neither of us wanted to become fountain paste.

However, besides the chance of being squished, I would have to say that it was one of the most peaceful and relaxing places I had ever been. The rocks moved up slowly, and the echo that they created as they clicked and clacked.

Together it created something almost strangely haunting, like what it might be like to fly through an asteroid field. Not like I had the experience to compare it to, and I knew that there was no sound in space, but it was what I would like to assume it to be like.

[There are tripedal creatures up ahead of you. Fireden is checking to see what type of energy they have, but they are Demons, and there are about fifteen of them.]

I relayed the message over to Mex, and I heard him groan from above me as he pushed a rock.

"Can you see what color they are? The highest level Demon left here is D Rank and the Demon King. There are two breeds of the Tripedals, and they should be able to coexist, but one was much more troublesome than the other and was a thorn for the other breed before we even arrived," Mex explained, and I could see glimpses of the horned redskins creatures.

[Rank E-Three Demons, none have anything that looks like usable energy, but the crystals on the end of the rods they carry do. Do not engage them, or it is more than likely that you will die.]

I slowed down, and Mex had to work harder to keep the stone from closing in around us as I looked over the three-legged creatures. They all wore loincloth underwear, but their shoulders had strange sparkles that were glittering on their shoulders.

"Do the bad one\'s glitter?" I asked as I picked up speed again but started to lower myself.

The ridge on this side was much lower than the other one we had left before coming across, and I was mindful of the sky. More than once, I had seen glimpses of flashes of light from about to only find nothing but a multi-hued sky.

"No, they are the Nafa and much better than the others, but we will see if they decide to talk or kill first," Mex said, and I groaned.
