Half of the month later, after several times resting and running from the pursuit of the North Kingdom soldiers, Desmond and the group finally arrived at the beasts' outer territory.
Upon arriving at the beasts' outer territory, what greeted them was a vast jungle with a tree a height of half of the sky. The meadows were tall as Desmond's height, making their vision extremely limited.
The light from the sun was mostly blocked by the leaves of the trees. This made the jungle look still in the dawn. Some of the light managed to pierce through the leaves, adding the beauty of how nature was.
Desmond was dazed. The tall tree and the abnormal size of the meadows, if there was a long and vast river, this jungle must be had a connection to those memories about him being a dragon.
No! this is must be that forest! His mind was chaotic; those memories and the view in front of him began overlapping each other. While the girls were mesmerized as this was their first time seeing the beauty of natural wonders.
"Young lady!" Suddenly Laura shouted.
"Sister?!" Desmond turned around and found his sister was fainted with her face paled. At first, he thought she was just tired due to continuous ran from the kingdom pursuit, yet when he noticed blood on Laura's hands, his expression sank.
Control Element: Earth Foundation!
Control Element: Ice Mirror!
Desmond cast his spells, making the ground raised with an oval shape, and ice began crystallizing in the outskirts of the oval-shaped ground. Forming a visible ice wall, protecting them from above and all directions.
Amid the creation, the dust of sparkle from the water was showering their location. This attracted those beasts' attention; however, they found a high ground around 5m taller than their body blocking and preventing them from advancing.
Those beasts tried to ram the sudden of high round, causing it to tremble. Still, the next moment, the high ground suddenly grew a scale, coated with metal making it harder and reflecting the light.
Meanwhile, above the high ground, Laura and Annie were stunned by the sudden change. Their mind was already tired as they kept running but felt refreshed upon seeing the surrounding landscape.
As their position became higher and reached half of those tall trees, the thick and tall meadows no longer limited their vision. Revealing the scene where the land looked like a blessing from the world.
If one ignored there were many beasts roaming around the jungles, this jungle could be compared to the mythical jungle in the elves' territory. Even the beasts' race was the king here, they could still spot some normal animals such as rabbits and a group of squirrels playing around.
Suddenly both of them almost forgot their master condition! The sudden change made the girls enchanted by the beauty of nature. When they saw Desmond and Alice, they both froze on the spot.
Alice was currently being healed by her brother, who also caressed her smooth white hair. They were sitting on the crystalized luxurious king bed under the light from the sun.
Annie and Laura did not surprise by the sudden appearance king's bed. Instead, it was because of their young master expression. He looked worried with his hands gently pulling out the chains that planted on her flesh.
Sometimes he showed pained expression upon seeing his sister blood continue dripping from the injure; sometimes, he showed a delighted expression like a kid who found their toy when he finally pulled up one of those chains
Now they understand why their senior maids kept saying how his young mater way too much pampering his elder sister. In their opinion, they looked more romantic than the average couple!
Somehow, a feeling started to grow when they witnessed their young master. A feeling of envy and pity at the same time to their young lady Alice who had a caring brother.
They pity Alice's standard for men in the future; she must be kept comparing her future husband with her brother!
Suddenly, Desmond's expression turned cold and emitted killing intent that even made Laura and Annie kneel down with their sweat kept dripping from their body.
"Those people are really vicious." The notifications kept popping out, stating his trait effects; the more he pulled out the chains, the more he realized how cruel those people from the North Kingdom were.
These chains not only kept sucking Alice's energy, but the chains also almost made permanent internal damage to her organs, such as stabbing a bit of her blood vessel, making the blood around her body irregular flow.
This caused her body temperature kept changing, from keeping shivering to the point almost half of her face turned red but then vanished in the next moment.

Her stats gradually improved, unlike before. As long her consciousness keeps awake, she can be saved, Desmond thought with his energy kept draining out while casting the healing spell.
"Laura come here," Because he a bit panicked before, he almost forgot Laura was also a 1st class witch.
"Yes, young master," Laura, who kneeled on the ground, immediately stood up, helping her young master and healing her young lady. She was shocked to find the chains on the ground that actually planted on her young lady's body.
"Annie, I need you to hunt a few weaker beasts for our food." When Annie wanted to ask him how to descend from this higher ground, the ground beneath her suddenly descended down as well with her body.
"Kya!" she screamed for a moment but then found herself back at the view of a tall meadow.
"Stay safe and only hunt the beasts weaker than you," As her young master spoke, the hole immediately closed up, preventing her from climbing up.
"Yes, young master," Annie did not feel she was abandoned or sacrificed. Instead, she was burning with excitement as she finally could do some help.
