The Tales of Draconic Warlock

With so many monsters in the outer region, and with the large area that it occupied, I thought it might take me days to reach here. Even if one is fast enough, there are still a lot of monsters to deal with before reaching the Inner region. Luckily, I tamed the Thunder Wolf that I stumbled upon and was able to arrive here within hours.

It took hours because there were a few monsters that were as fast as the Thunder Wolf and some were even faster than it. I had to deal with them before we could reach the Inner area.

Many of these monsters are wolves which always live in packs. I was lucky to get a wolf alone and tamed it quickly. It was a few meters away from its pack and got caught in my net.

Once that was done, its pack came onto me. After I dealt with them, another pack of wolves came. There was a large group of wolves living nearby and they started to appear one by one as they heard their comrades cry for help.

It was quite a headache to deal with them. There were a lot of them but they didn't give me enough EXP to level up.

After them, there were a bunch of other monsters, including bird monsters which were annoying to deal with. They would strike and they fly away, not staying where I could reach them.

If not for my high rank and multiple skills, it would have been a problem to deal with them.

Even with such an arsenal in my possession, dealing with flying enemies is quite a problem. I think I need to learn some flying skills but those are not easy to learn and more than that they are not easy to find. Any flying skill that appears would be consumed by the finder or would be reserved for his family.

No idiot would sell such a skill, no matter the price offered.

Flying skills are the best way to escape a powerful enemy. Unless the enemy possesses flying or some soul lock skill, it would be problematic to hurt someone who was keen on escaping through flight.

So these skills are very much in demand.

Of course, after reaching Tier-7 one can fly without these skills but would be limited. So even they prefer flight skills, instead of depending on their rank to fly.

I read in books that a Tier-9 can ease this issue and fly without too much trouble. It was even said that if one crosses the boundary and reaches the stage above Tier-9, there won't be any issues that can restrict flying.

It was something that is out of my reach for now. So I can only look out for any flying skills that may pop out from dungeons or find them in other places that I can access.

I looked in the Cosmic Market. There are no such skills but there is equipment that can help fly but it's costly. If it was gold, I could do something about it but the only exchange is through resources.

It is a little out of my budget at this moment. I shall think about it later. For now, I should find a way to bind a flying monster but that would not be easy.

After reaching the Inner region, I let go of the Thunder Wolf. This monster is not rare and can be found in Ragos, though not everywhere it can be found with a little effort.

I am a Spellcaster, not a Beast Tamer nor a Summoner to hold on many monsters to me. Similarly, they can't do everything that spellcasters can do. Every profession has its advantages and disadvantages.

One can only perform some basic things of other professions.

I am a Warlock, so I can't use skills like Long Range Teleportation. I can still use Small range Teleportation and it was said some spellcasters can teleport medium distances.

I don't know how true that is.

So instead of tying the Wolf to me permanently, I used a temporary binding scroll. It can last a few days but that wolf probably won't last if it enters the Inner area with me. I already killed a lot of its friends and don't want to kill it.

Though it may not last longer, with the students in the realm, it helped me. So in order to not be overflown by guilt, I am letting it go. Whether it can survive from this point or not, depends on itself.

"Wait, come here", I pulled the wolf back.

How can I forget?

I am not an asshole. It carried me here and I killed a lot of its pack. It can't get back to them, as they should see it as an enemy from now.

So I decided to compensate for it.

"Here you go. Eat and then leave to wherever you want", I placed a few thunder magic cores and some thunder grass before it.

The cores were extracted from its group and should belong to it. What I gave is the thunder grass which can help it evolve faster.

To make sure that it has a place to consume these resources without problem, I cleared a nearby cave. The wolf could use this cave to improve and can decide whether to make the cave its home or find someplace else to settle.

After departing from the cave, I released Inari out. Keeping her inside the pet world space for too long would be torturous.

Since we are deep in the secret realm, no one would know that there is a demon here. Letting her out wouldn't cause any trouble for me. For the next thirty days, before I leave the secret realm, she can stay out.

"Inari, let's go on a hunt", I said and released a few clones of me in different directions.

Inari nodded and started following me into the hunt. By the time I reach the core area, I need to be between levels 70-80 at the least. This was nothing that could hurt me in the core area and I can simply sweep away everything.
