Chapter 38 Entering The Unknown II
Mother had cold sweat coming from her face because unlike me, she was still an A-ranked mage human. Even though I was C ranked my race was different from humans so I had resistance to it. This was actually a lot more less than the pressure I felt from the Big Sister Yuvanna.
"Veli, get behind me if it becomes dangerous you should run," Even though she saw me defeating an A-ranked monster still her motherly instinct kicked in to protect me first without caring about her life.
The sound of the growling became wild more and more and a lot of low-level monsters in the area started to fly away from the danger.
*Growl *Growl
"Shit, Veli run I have never seen this type of monster it must be some high-level one," She said while getting ready to cast a spell to distract its attraction toward herself.
Even though I knew about the monster I didn\'t want to scare her more telling her the real rank of the monster. There were two rank blood hell hounds and some B and C ranked spellbound which were estimated to be about 8 or 10.
"No mother let\'s run together I have a wind spell which helps to run faster we can outrun them don\'t worry hold onto my shoulder," I said while grabbing her arm halting her chanting,
Daphnia thought for a minute and decided to believe her son but it was an extraordinary spectacle to see a child giving piggyback to a middle-aged woman. Physically this should be impossible but the great strength of the Velian allowed him to carry her.
The thing he told about the wind spell was a lie he created to cover the agility and speed. He lifted Daphnia and it was a little uncomfortable because their body sizes were different. Daphnia\'s heavenly mounds were on the Velian\'s head.
"Soft very soft but it\'s hard to lift her,"
*Sigh
"How I wish I was a grown-up man now," I thought to myself feeling her soft body.
"Hold on tight mother," He started to run at an unbelievable speed which caused Daphnia\'s boobs to shake left and right causing critical hits to Velian but Daphnia didn\'t realise that the direction which Velian ran was the opposite direction from the village.
"Mother, keep your eyes closed some stones and dust may enter your eyes if you open them," Velian was gambling on his first plan but looks like it was a success if he could reach the end of the high-level area he could easily convince Daphnia to enter the cave. It would take only about 2 hours to reach there if he ran at his full speed without breaks.
He kept running but Daphnia was unbelievably silent all this time. He reached the end of the high-level area after running for a few hours none stop. Even with the great amount of stamina, Velian had it was an absurd task for him to run for 2 hours at his full speed.
"Mother, we escaped from the monsters, how are you?" I said looking at Mother.
"Aye! Mother are you alright?" Looks like she went unconscious from the sheer speed of the run.
I chanted a small water spell and used it on her face to bring her consciousness back. Even though I was barely able to stand I won\'t be able to move an inch until my stamina returns. It will take a considerable time to reach the end goal like this.
Daphnia slowly regained her consciousness after sprinkling some water on her face. She confusedly looked at the surroundings and when saw me she suddenly started to run toward me and check my body for any signs of injury or anything,
*Sobs
"I\'m sorry darling even though I came here to help you I only slowed you down, I\'m a bad mother I should have asked someone more powerful to accompany you," She said while tears streaming down her face.
I was feeling extremely guilty about her crying and I quickly used my hands to wipe her tears and snob,
"No mother, you\'re the best person who could come with me, you quickly believed me and let me retreat others would have made fun of telling me I\'m still a child," I said to reassure her.
She again looked at my face and gave a little peck on my cheeks,
"I\'m glad you\'re safe darling," She said and looked at our surroundings.
"Veli, where are we?" She asked feeling confused because she had never seen any kind of plant like this in the forest so far.
"I-i don\'t know mother, I ran so quickly that I couldn\'t mark the directions," I said without giving her any hints that I was lying.
"You did what? You don\'t know where you ran?" She was a little angry with what he did but not as much because she could understand even he could make mistakes.
"I\'m sorry mother, I ran two hours straight don\'t couldn\'t correctly mark the directions," I said while lying down on the soil by the sheer exhaustion.
"You ran two hours straight? Why did you push yourself so much, darling" She gave me a questioning look.
"Those monsters kept chasing us for a long time so just for extra protection I didn\'t stop running," I answered and she was really impressed that I carried her and ran for two hours straight.
She quickly sat near a tree and indicated me to come closer,
"Come darling, you must be exhausted you can sleep on my laps," She quickly made her clothes comfortable and I was on heavens by her words.
"This is why I love you so much," I said in a silent voice that she couldn\'t hear.
I wanted to try drinking her milk to refresh but as soon as I lay my head on her lap heavy drowsiness overtook me and quickly fell asleep.
It was already night when I woke up and the pleasant smell of some food and the sizzling sound caused my stomach to roar in hunger,
*Yawn
Mother was already making some foods with her terrible but still loving cooking skills,
"Mother, why did you start a campfire here?" After seeing the fire only I got a cold sweat on my back if I hadn\'t kept my skills and aura active monsters would have been already attracted here.
"Veli, I made some food for you since you\'re hungry, your tummy kept roaring so I wanted to feed you something good," She said with an innocent and happy smile.
"Wasn\'t she used to be an adventurer? Is it normal to start a campfire without any protection or is she an airhead, I guess I got to see a new side of her," I thought to myself looking at the burnt meat.
I took a piece of meat and greedily gobbled it ignoring its taste because I was hungry but mother was looking at me with starry eyes waiting for me to praise her food,
"It\'s a really delicious meal mother, you have improved your cooking," I said so that I won\'t be rude to this loving woman.
"Hehe~ Aren\'t I? Aren\'t I? I practised some cooking when you were not there to surprise you," She said triumphantly,
We spent the night eating and chatting about some random topics until mother fell asleep due to her exhaustion. Since I took a little rest some of my stamina was restored and I decided to keep the night watch to avoid unwanted problems.
I looked at her innocent sleeping face and a smile formed on my face,
"What a loving woman, I will surely make you the happiest woman and the proudest mother,"
