"Alma, on the right!" Walker was not the only one whose group was facing the burnt jackals. Gil and Alma had run in to three of three at once.


    Blue ivy whipped out toward a burnt jackal. They wrapped the jackal and were easily pulled on by Alma. The weight of the burnt jackal was almost nothing since it had very little skin left on the bones. These three had clearly been rotting away for a much longer time.


    "Gil, I need you to knock it in to theva pool!" Alma and Gil were annoyed by the sudden show of the undead monster. These things had made their travels much harder by blocking the path they had to take. But even worse, they had to deal with the challenge that came with every undead monster. They needed to be thoroughly defeated or else they would be getting up again.


    "Got it." Gil let loose a normal arrow that pushed the burnt jackal in to theva pool. It also managed to break the bones in the spine so that the burnt jackal would not be climbing out. The slow burning that happened because the burnt jackals resisted the fire elemental mana would be able to properly do its job.


    "Hold on while I deal with the other two. They are far enough away." Gil let fly two earth elemental wither spike arrows. He had found that they worked the best when it came to the environment.


    Since the entire area was covered mostly in hardened magma rocks, the earth elemental arrow was perfect. When Gil released it the mana would gather fairly quickly causing earth spike to burst up in the spot where the arrownded. On top of all that, it was the best for taking out the weak undead monsters that were a bane to the pairs'' journey.


    Two burnt jackals were pierced, having their bones broken and being defeated on the spot. Gil was left with awe at the perfection of the earth arrows. He had expected that out of all his arrows, the fire would end up being the best. He had only managed to test one of each arrow before so the effects were not easily recorded.


    "That clears that path. Let''s keep moving before more show themselves. They seem pretty…undesirable." The undead rotting burnt smell from the burnt jackals did not make anyone happy. Alma was not exempt from this. She pushed Gil to keep moving.


    "The arrows are working pretty well. I thought the earth might be like the wind arrow where it just caused the fires to act up. But I was wrong." Gil was pretty happy with what he saw. And how he would be changing his fighting for the environment.


    "What about the light elemental arrow? It didn''t have a healing effect here. It had a dense gathering effect that caused it to pierce opponents better. Although it did blind us…" Alma wanted to help Gil decide on these things but realized she didn''t have enough experience with the elemental arrows to give concrete advice.


    "I thought I might use them because they move very fast. But since the wind elemental arrows move just as fast and can boost the mes, I might as well use those. I do wonder what would happen if I fired a wind and fire elemental arrow at the same ce and time." The idea Gil wasing up with was arge explosion to deal with a tougher opponent. He didn''t like the looks of the oath ahead with smallva pools along the side.


    Since Gil had a n to use multiple arrows at once, it sounded like he would be able to do more damage while protecting Alma. There was also the fact that the enforcers had been warned not to interfere with small monsters. Gil and Alma needed to train as well so that they could grow stronger. If they just went to the me elf city by being escorted, then they would lose valuable experience in real life battles against different monsters.


    "Should we change our course after this? There seems to be a few more of those monsters over there." Gil bounced his idea off of Alma. he was crouched behind some ck rocks checking out the monsters in the distance.


    "It looks like a whole pack of them are there. Shouldn''t they be more spread out? What could defeat that many and leave them without eating them?" The answer that Alma wanted was not one that either wished to see. The danger of whatever was killing and not eating could be too high.


    "Reporting in, there is arge monster ahead. It has created a nest in a smallva pool. It appears to be a dragon without wings." The enforcers had scouted ahead and seen the grave danger. This was exactly what Gil had been afraid of.


    "Reporting, there is a force of dragonkin on the way to this location. Should we meet with them?" The next enforcer came up followed by thest two. They were ready to do whatever was necessary to help. It was their duty.


    "We get to see the dragons before Walker. We will meet with the dragonkin forces and tell them of our findings. Prepare to make contact." Alma became much more professional. This was the main point of her position and she would need to act with high respect.


    "Well, this is unexpected but much better than I thought it would be. We might be able to hold back and let them handle the issue before we move on." Gil felt that the bad luck they had was miraculously flipped upside down. They could have the dragonkin help them beat the rogue dragon that had made this its home. They would also be able to tell them about Walker''s group heading toward their vige. A win win.
