The Primal Hunter

Chapter 948: Assistance Has Arrived Chapter 948: Assistance Has Arrived

”It’s truly an honor to finally lay my eyes on a True Royal,” the dwarf wearing a stupidly large and decorated hat said as he kneeled in front of Vesperia. ”And it’s an even greater honor that Her Majesty decided to assist our small country.”

Vesperia regarded the dwarf as she nodded. ”Your kin has worked alongside the hive here for many years, and they have vouched for your usefulness. If they consider you part of their hive, I shall respect their assessment and assist you. Now, the three of us have little interest in wasting more time here than necessary. We shall hunt down a number of Primas and then proceed to engage the Prima Guardian.”

”I have already been informed of Her Majesty’s plan,” the dwarven leader said with a nod.

”Hand us all the information you have regarding the location of the Prima Vessel, along with where you believe most Primas have gathered,” the Fallen King added.

”Naturally,” the dwarf kept nodding, not daring to show any disrespect to the Unique Lifeform either. Motioning to one of his aides, another dwarf walked forward and displayed a projection of the planet. On it, the location of the Prima Vessel was marked, along with areas colored in with assumptions about how many Primas would be there.

”Ree?” Sylphie asked after seeing the map. Vesperia concurred with her assessment and nodded.

”Yes, I also don’t see a need for us to engage with any of the Primas beneath the ground. It would be faster to go to the surface immediately. Considering the barren landscape, we will stand out and easily attract the Primas, and at the same time, the Primas will not be able to hide from us,” Vesperia said.

”Preferable to hunting down an army of elusive creatures beneath the ground for sure,” the King said.

”If… if I may…” the dwarven leader said with some hesitation. ”Each of these Primas are incredibly powerful in their own right, and we believe there are hundreds up there. Not to mention the Prima Guardian itself… is it safe for Her Majesty to engage them all with only two allies?”

Instantly, the dwarf had more than half a dozen Hive Queens from the ant hive staring him down, making the man try to instantly elaborate. ”I do not doubt the capabilities of a True Royal! However, I’m unaware of the power of your companions, and I am merely veering on the side of caution…”

”Your worry is entirely misplaced,” Vesperia said, shaking her head.

”I find the notion that I’m inferior insulting,” the Fallen King also scoffed.

”Ree,” Sylphie just said, not really seeming to care that much. She was way too busy dragging around a small bag of dried worm snacks to bother with any of that stuff.

After a bit more talking, the three of them were finally led toward the fastest way to reach the surface. As they had also been informed, the path upwards was entirely blocked, the dwarves and ant hive having worked together to create several natural barriers and gates.

While the ants couldn’t fight the Primas or the Prima Guardian, they had been able to help with these preparations. It wasn’t like filling a hole with soil and rock was considered fighting against the Primas, nor was it considering fighting to create extremely durable gates and handing control to the dwarves.

This did mean getting topside took a while, as Sylphie, Vesperia, and the Fallen King had to break through several barriers that the dwarves couldn’t easily unblock for them. Luckily, this planet was quite a lot smaller than Earth, making the distance they had to cover not as significant.

The Hive Queens wanted to follow them all the way, but they had to stop in order to not risk engaging any Primas. This left only a small squad of dwarves with Vesperia and the others as they finally reached the surface of the planet, most of which had to leave soon as they wouldn’t be any help in the upcoming fights.

”Not the most pleasant of worlds,” the Fallen King said the moment they appeared up there.

The sky was tinged orange, with toxic gasses filling the air. In the distance, they saw some oddly colored clouds raining down acid rain while a constant wind buffeted them. At least it did so for a mere moment before the wind in their vicinity entirely stopped, surprising the dwarves.

Sylphie had naturally been the one who’d stopped the annoying wind. Even if the wind was infused with many different concepts, it was still ultimately considered wind and thus within her Authority. If she didn’t want it to blow, it wouldn’t.
