I Shall Evolve Everything

It took no longer than 10 minutes to get back to the territory this time. Though that was because Tama had insisted on carrying me back.

Tama saw how tired I was and just took me in her tail then sprinted the whole way back making incredible time. The only reason it even took 10 minutes though was because Tama deliberately slowed down to give me a more comfortable ride.

And it was comfortable, Tama's fox tail was incredibly fluffy so the whole time that I was being carried I was also being smothered in fluff which was nice while It lasted.

Once we were back I immediately went over to find my new summons.

Their ability to fly would allow me to find the other realm protectors with relative ease.

…

I went to Melia, who I had left the Aethons with and took them back ignoring all the cooing that she was trying to smother me with.

Once I had them I ordered them to go and find the other realm protectors.

There were only four realm protectors left so I only sent four to scout.

The other two I left with Melia to do with them what she wanted.

…

*Caw*

*Caw*

With that reply I headed to the south heading over to the distant dessert.

There were other flying animals other than me but with some pecks they were off running not to bother me anymore.

Guess non stop bleeding scared them too much.

*Caw* *Caw* I laughed at the weak birds all around me.

Once I got a sufficient distance from that group though other birds of different species were all trying to kill me though they never did that again after one of their ilk bled to death after one peck of mine. After that they were all giving me distance.

They must have reported back to something because I wasn't bothered after that and even the other birds were giving me distance when they saw me.

Though that got boring after a while, seeing them all just cower before me was super boring.

To alleviate the boredom of my journey to the desert I started just attacking any birds that didn't look at me.

When they got the message to look at me and they all had their eyes on me I pecked out the eyes of the one closest to me that was looking at me.

After they learned to not look at me again I attacked the ones that weren't looking at me.

It was good entertainment for me. But all good things must end at some point.

As I grew closer to the desert the amount of birds in the sky lessened and the only ones left were vultures who I couldn't just mess with.

They had power equivalent to tier 8 which wouldn't be a problem but they were in huge packs of 10-20. While I could kill them all I would have to exert effort which wouldn't have been fun.

Finally after flying for so long I spotted a beast horde.

This horde was made up of vultures with one that was about twice the size of the others.

Marking down the place in my memory, I head back to boss's territory.

…

On the way back I met up with the other Aethons assigned to find out what they had found.

Turns out it was pretty similar to what I found.

A huge horde of beasts governed by one that was at the very least twice the size of the others.

The only difference being where they lived, there was one in the swamp, desert, sea, and mountains.

…

It was after a good 3 or 4 hours that the Aethons finally got back from scouting.

Since the Aethons could not talk English I had them instead paint a map of what they saw and where.

In the middle was the forest that we were in to the south was a desert with the north most part of it covered with beasts, to the east was the swamp, the realm protectors in the swamp was in the west most part of it. To the north was the mountains, with the realm defender being in the middle of three mountains. Lastly to the west was the ocean, though for now there was no realm protector found there.

That left me with some options. I wasn't going to go to the mountain. It was too long of a trip and the ocean protector hadn't been found yet so that only left the desert and the swamp.

Of the two the desert was closer but had flying vultures that I would have to take care of.

Or I could go to the swamp where the realm protector was a hippo.

Of the two I think that the desert would be a better option. Not only because of how close it is but because the flying vultures would allow me to train to combat flying enemies.

After I had decided I found Tama again and informed her of my decision.

"Today, my Lord, you need to recover, you just got back from fighting the other realm protector" Tama explained, concern filling her face.

"Not today of course, I'm almost out of aether right now, no we will go tomorrow."

"That's good, my Lord"

…

After I had finished informing Tama about tomorrow's plan I headed back to the house, ready to head to bed.

Though before I could go to bed I needed to eat dinner to recover my energy from the earlier battle.

After I had eaten dinner I found Aoif waiting in bed for me. It was already dark because by the time I had gotten back home and eaten dinner 2 hours had passed. The only reason it took that long was because Tama insisted on us having a nice dinner every night, prepared by her.

I joined Aoif in bed hugging her tight to me and closed my eyes ready to sleep.
