Day 3

It seemed that the slimes' attention had been attracted to the contents of the drowning wagon, and nearly all of them were rushing to eat up the various fruits, vegetables, and chickens (oh dear...) that were inside. However, quite a few still were focused on the two frightened peasants floating above the sea of acid. Including one that seemed to be a strange blend of a slime and a wolf, which was seconds away from devouring the imperiled travelers.

Damn! Sylphine, hurry up! But when Pirika looked down at her master, she saw that the emerald-haired maiden still looked dazed, both from the intense sonic and her sleepiness. Ugh...fine, I'll bail you out again. She flapped her wings, and a strong updraft shoved the peasants upwards, letting the wolf sail just underneath them. As soon as this was finished, Pirika left Sylphine to keep guiding the two to safety, and flew over to their side, getting ready to defend them herself.

Not long after it landed, the slime wolf simply looped back around and made another lunge at the travelers. They screamed in terror, fearing the worst once again, but Pirika simply gave a fierce glare. Just as the slime wolf was within 2 meters of her, she let out her own screech, and the air in front of her swirled around before blasting forward in a cyclone.

Caught in the raging winds, the lupine abomination was hurled backwards into the mass of slimes. Still not having had enough, it got ready to pounce once again. Of course, though, we couldn't have that, could we?

Want to know some new tricks, doggy? Pirika thought, as the winds began to swirl around her and the travelers once again. PLAY DEAD! Right when the slime wolf began to charge and let out its bizarre howl, Pirika extended her wings as far as they would go, and the air inside its mouth exploded outwards violently. It was too much pressure for the mouth to handle, and the slime wolf exploded into...rather disgusting jelly.

And that's that, the bird familiar declared confidently. Just as she thought that, some gravity slimes tried to pull the peasants in, but right when they neared, the floating purple blobs were blown away, their membranes rippling violently. Though it was unorthodox, Pirika had created a barrier around them that had the properties of Wind Force--meaning anything that got close to them would be strongly repelled.

There were about 5 meters left between the group and the peasants. With this, Pirika was confident everything would end well.
