Chapter 564 The Baron’s Majestic Mount

CRACK! The soldier’s body got rammed and sent rolling across the street.

Arad turned back with a smile, “Merlin did say animals can enter,”

HoAhhhhhhhhhhh! CRACK! CRACK! Mc stomped the soldier with his hooves until he disintegrated into ash.

The soldiers hiding inside the houses stared at the 800kg around 1750 pounds and over 2.2 metersOver 7 feet tall, at the shoulders and almost 3.1 meters at the antlersOver 10 feet moose in fear. Where did such a creature come from?

“It’s a mere moose!” A soldier screamed, “The lord might have fallen, but we won’t.” He rushed forward, “Charge!”

“What in the hell is that just a moose?” Another soldier cried, “It’s a MOOSE!”

Arad jumped on Mc’s back, patting his neck, “I can’t talk with you now since I don’t have my powers, but can we fight?”

Ahaaaaaaaaa! Mc replied, stomping the ground as he growled at the coming soldiers. His eyes turned back, showing their white. 𝘳𝘦.𝒸𝑜𝘮

“Bring the crossbows!” A soldier screamed as Mc rushed forward with Arad on his back.

Mc rammed the soldier, sending him flying up where Arad smacked him with the quarterstaff.

A large and heavily armored knight stood in the middle of the street, “I can wrestle bulls down. Come at me!” He growled.

BAM! Mc rammed the knight at full force, but surprisingly, he didn’t fall. The weight of his armor held him. “I said I can wrestle bulls,”

CRACK! Arad swung the quarterstaff and smacked the knight’s helmet, wracking his head inside. “I’m here, don’t forget about me.” Arad looked at him with a grin.

PEW! PEW! PEW! Soldiers aimed their crossbows, firing at Arad and Mc.

Arad waved his quarterstaff, drawing a circle in the air, Barrier

The bolts bounced off, hitting the walls as Arad rushed toward the soldiers. “Get off the way, or you’ll get trampled!” He shouted with a smile.

CRACK! CRACK! Mc rammed his way through them, rushing across the streets. Ahooooooooooooooooo! He roared.

“Amber! Merlin!” Arad shouted, “The fifth road east of the plaza. Come we will run to the stairs,” Mc turned to head toward that street following Arad’s hand.

****

“The fifth road east of the plaza. Come, we will run to the stairs,” Arad’s voice boomed across the city, and the two stopped.

“It’s Arad,” Amber said, staring out of the window, “We should move,”

“Are you okay?” Merlin stared at her, “Yeah,” Amber replied with a smile, “I’m not dizzy any more.”

Amber stood, taking a deep breath as she looked outside. She had exhausted all of her mana, burning the city. She could still see the burned houses at the end of the street.

The two approached the door, opened it, and rushed into the street. “Why don’t you use your bloodline?” Merlin asked.

“I told you before. The fire is hot enough to burn me,” Amber replied.

“I thought with all those years you would have gotten used to it,” Merlin looked at her.

“Sadly, no,” Amber sighed, “The moment I try using it, my skin starts burning,”

“The bloodline of a fire elemental. Your magic circuit might be one layer deeper than it should be beneath your skin. I might be able to pull it out with magic,” Merlin suggested.

“No thank you,” Amber replied, “I don’t want any wizard playing with my body, and especially not you,”

“Come on,” Merlin looked at her, “Only two of my last subjects turned into frogs, I managed to return one to normal, and the other one still transforms once a month,”

“Those aren’t good odds,” Amber looked forward, “I can feel Arad’s magic. He’s coming around that corner,” She pointed.

CLACK! CLACK! From the corner, Arad emerged, riding Mc at his top speed.

Albeit being larger than a horse, a moose could still run at up to 60kmphAround 37Mph

With the monster-infested forests around Alina, the native moose had to evolve through the years to run and resist attacks from monsters. This lad let an explosive growth in their speed to run and durability.

Unlike other moose, Mc who grew around Alina’s forest could reach a horrifying 100kmphAround 62Mph and had hid strong enough to withstand sharp claws, making mundane blades useless against him.

Amber and Merlin instantly knew the moment they saw him, “A moose?” Amber gasped.

“Arad’s moose!” Merlin cried, “He’s riding it!” She pointed.

“I didn’t notice!” Amber gasped, finally seeing Arad who was on Mc’s back.

Arad stopped beside them, “Get on, he can handle it,”

“Wait! No saddle?” Amber gasped.

“I did buy one for him, but he doesn’t seem to have it on,” Arad replied as fast as he could. “Hurry and get up.”

The two scrambled to climb on Mc’s back, “I still have mana, but my whole body is screaming in pain. I need to rest before fighting again,”

“Of course you are!” Merlin growled at him. “People usually run out of mana before they feel circuit burnout,”

“What’s that?” Arad looked at her.

“Muscle pain but for magic. I was certain you would feel it after going that crazy earlier,” Merlin tapped his head, “Don’t use magic for a while. You need to rest.”

“Bolts can still harm Mc,” Arad replied, pointing back, Barrier CLANG! CLANG! The remaining soldiers were aiming at them with crossbows.

“I’m up,” Amber said wrapping her arms around Merlin’s waist. While she wrapped her hands around Arad’s waist.

“To the tower!” Arad shouted, and Mc roared. Aohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Mc raced across the street, ramming everyone that got in his way.

“But really,” Amber stared at Mc with a wry smile, “A moose, couldn’t you get a normal warhorse?” She looked at Arad.

“Hoi, you!” Arad looked at her, “What’s wrong with my beautiful mount?”

“Not that, well, I’m just asking why a moose off all creatures? Horses are cheaper to keep, and you won’t find a mount better trained for battle than a warhorse.” Amber looked at Arad with a wry smile. ^He really likes his moose.^

“Those bald warhorses won’t ever reach Mc. Look at those beautiful horns.” Arad patted Mc’s neck, “You trained horses not to get scared in war and not to fight. Mc here would fight instead of just carrying me to war,”

Merlin giggled, “You’re the first noble I saw riding a moose. Baron Arad Orion strolled the streets on his majestic moose. The bards would have a party with it,”

“They better be,” Arad puffed his chest, “Mc came here on his own to help. I doubt any horse would have done that,”

Aohhhhhhhhh! Mc roared with a smirk on his face.

“Wait, he… he’s smiling?” Merlin glared at Mc with a sharp glare.

^Any dragon would have eaten me. But Master Arad saved me, freed my horns from the tree, and let me go. He even offered me shelter, and thanks to that, no bear or wolves had ever bothered me again.^ Mc flew across the streets reaching the tower.

^Till the day my antlers fall, and my body rot, I will make sure I would at least save Master once as he saved me.^
