A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 536 Already Ravaged You

Sera led Teuila through the mist-covered forest as she couldn't see. While walking, the two heard a screech piercing the air around them.

They stopped walking and scanned their surroundings. Sera's keen ears caught a rustle in the mist, and her instincts immediately went on high alert.

The dragon girl growled as she looked at the mist hiding the forest and whatever was in it, making the looming threat even harder to see.

Sera whispered, her voice edged with a primal intensity. ''Teuila, Get ready. We're not alone."

Teuila, sensing the urgency in Sera's tone, gripped the hilt of her weapon, her eyes darting through the mist in search of the unseen danger.

The forest fell silent, and the tension in the air was palpable. Sera's growl echoed through the mist, warning whatever lurked nearby.

Without warning, a black-skinned creature lunges out from the thick mist, its movements swift and predatory.

Its body was cloaked in shadows, making it challenging to see its features. Fueled by adrenaline, Sera reacted with lightning speed by summoning her claws.

She swung her claws in a sweeping arc, aiming for the creature's midsection. It cut through the mist, but the humanoid easily evaded the attack.

Teuila, channeling her mana, unleashed a Deep Sea Blast toward it. The mana illuminated the mist momentarily, revealing the humanoid's silhouette.

The creature retaliated, launching a series of rapid strikes. Sera blocked the attack with her claws, the clash ringing through the air.

Even more, humanoids appeared from the mist, and their movements were swift and predatory.

Sera lunged forward as her claws slashed through the air. The first humanoid was caught off guard and fell victim to her deadly strikes.

Its body dropped to the ground with a thud, vanquished by the dragon girl's assault. Teuila, by Sera's side, demonstrated a different kind of prowess.

She bounced around the battlefield like a rabbit, using her claws to swipe at the creatures as they tried to attack.

Her attacks ripped off limbs and decapitated them while used her wings to block the creature's attacks.

When Sera landed after one of her attacks, one of them rushed at her, but she used her tail to impale the creature through its chest.

Sera was a force to be reckoned with as her red wings and scales protected her against most attacks, and her dragon eyes allowed her to see everything.

Teuila weaved through the mist, trying to guess the movements of the approaching humanoids.

As more closed in, the ocean princess's blade danced through the air, a whirlwind of skill. The metallic clang echoed through the forest as she parried and countered the attacks.

The blade cut through the shadows, leaving the second humanoid incapacitated. Sera was using her claws to tear up the creatures with ease.

Her ruby-red eyes blazed as she engaged the remaining creatures. With a swift motion, she attacked another, tearing through its creepy form.

Teuila moved quickly as her sword swiftly cut through the misty air. Creatures emerged from the shadows, drawn to the noise.

Their grotesque and unnatural bodies were no match for the girl's. As the first humanoid lunged at her, Teuila quickly sidestepped its attack.

Her sword cleaved through it with a single, fluid motion, causing it to drop to the ground. The forest bore witness to the battle as Teuila and Sera faced the relentless onslaught.

Teuila's movements were a dance, each swing of her sword choreographed with practiced finesse. Creatures fell before her, their otherworldly forms dissolving into nothingness.

Her blade clashed with twisted bodies, the mist echoing with the sounds. Unfolding in battle, the forest seemed to hold its breath.

The creature's screeches reverberated through the forest. She wielded her sword and sharp claws, silencing the creatures individually. With each fallen foe, the forest grew quieter.

Their prowess was too much for them, and the last creature ended under the gleaming blade. Now devoid of threats, the mist hung like a curtain of quiet victory.

Teuila, her chest rising and falling with the exertion of battle. The forest, once tumultuous with the chaos, had succumbed to an eerie calm.

Her breath danced in the cool air as she sheathed her sword and cast her gaze across the forest floor strewn with the remnants of the otherworldly creatures.

The bodies lay in disarray, their grotesque forms now still. Blood mingled with the mud, staining the ground.

Teuila watched the aftermath unfold until Sera approached, a triumphant grin on her face.

With a flick of her claws, she rid herself of the creature's blood, a silent celebration of their hard-fought victory.

The mist cleared as they moved through the thick forest. With the air freshening, tall trees unveiled an abandoned village in a clearing.

Forgotten by time, the village seemed like a ghostly remains of the past. Teuila's blue eyes widened and whispered with curiosity and unease, "What... is this place?"

Sera dismissed her wings as she scanned the surroundings. "I have no idea. It looks like it's been deserted for a long time."

The village, once vibrant and bustling, now stood frozen in time. Run-down houses with sagging roofs lined cobblestone streets.

Weeds and vines snaked around the crumbling structures, and a haunting silence hung.

Teuila cautiously stepped forward and observed as she examined the house's windows. "It's as if everyone just vanished.''

Sera nodded, her dragon eyes scanning the abandoned village. "There are no signs of life. It's like time stood still here."

The girls walked through the empty streets, feeling uneasy. They found signs of everyday life left behind: a child's toy on a doorstep, an old run-down market stall covered in dust.

That's when the dragon girl asked quietly, "Do you think something scared them off, or did they choose to go?"

''I don't know. It seems they left, but many years have passed, and things could change over such a long time.'' Teuila answered as he looked at an old shop.

After looking around for a little while, they exited the village and found themselves in the forest again.

The ocean princess couldn't help but roll her eyes as Sera started complaining. "Teuila, why are so many trees in an underground cave? It's like Mother Nature got!"

She chuckled before answering the dragon girl, "Maybe the trees wanted a change of scenery? You know, a little vacation from the whole 'being outside' thing."

They strolled through the underground woodland, pondering whether the trees were having fun on their vacation.

"It's strange to have an underground forest. If they were well-

known, Hemera would have told Archer about it," Sera mused, seeing a distant lake with even more bewilderment.

Sera and Teuila pressed on, navigating through the thick vegetation. The air was dense, and the occasional screech of unseen creatures echoed around them.

Sera led the way, and her keen senses were alert to potential threats. As they ventured deeper, the oppressive atmosphere of the forest started to wear on her.

The tangled underbrush and blocked visibility all grated on her nerves. She abruptly halted, her tail swishing in annoyance.

"This is ridiculous!" Sera exclaimed, frustration evident in her voice. "I can't take this anymore."

She summoned her wings without waiting, unfolding them with a powerful beat, and jumped into the air.

Sera flew higher and higher until she left the thick canopy behind. Teuila watched in surprise but shook her head with a smile as the redhead vanished.

The dragon girl's wings sliced through the mist, and she emerged above the treetops. The forest unfolded beneath her, and her eyes widened in shock.

An endless expanse of tangled trees stretched out as far as her eyes could see. It was a vast sea of green, a sprawling carpet of trees.

Sera hovered in the air, her annoyance now replaced with shock. The sheer scale of the forest was breathtaking.

The mist that clung to the ground now appeared like a distant, white ocean, with tree canopies breaking through like islands.

She called down, her voice full of disbelief. "Teuila! You have to see this. It's... it's incredible!"

That's when Sera descended to rejoin Teuila, her wings folding back. She wore a look of wonder as her annoyance died when she saw the sea of trees.

Teuila shot her an impatient look, causing the redhead to giggle while wiping sweat off her smooth brown skin.

Sera began to describe it excitedly. "It was beautiful! The canopy stretched as far as the eye could see; trees were all there. I haven't seen anything like that before."

However, her cheerful depiction took an unforeseen twist as a sigh slipped from her mouth. "But you know, amidst all this loveliness, I can't help but think about Archer ravaging me, and I become incredibly wet. I desire sex, Teuila, and I desire it immediately!"

Teuila was taken by surprise at her ranting and didn't know what to say but felt her cheeks go red.

When Sera witnessed the Aquarian blushing, she laughed before playfully teasing her. "Oh, why the rosy cheeks? Archer has already ravaged you, my dear. So you know what I mean!"
