Master Of None

Chapter 2416: 2416. Immediate Response

An uproar. That was the simple way to describe what was happening right now. The news of monsters being able to enter the city was not at all a good thing. It was unavoidable though.

Holding the information back was impossible. The event had happened right out in the open. First from Midnight shocking the nearby crowd when attacking something vile that she smelled and knowing it was dangerous, to the fact that monsters had killed people and escaped.

Then the news of what and how the monsters were able to hide within people’s bodies which really made the terror grow. It was terrifying though, that meant a monster could be standing right next to you in the market, at your job, or anywhere else within the city.

What calmed the emotions though, was the fact that Kidnight had proved dragons could smell through when close enough. That the hiding skills were not entirely perfect. If the dragons could find them, then other races should be able to as well. Meaning that they could be hunted.

This didn’t calm the anger of the representatives. Scylla had been the angriest since she was more or less responsible for the entirety of defending the city.

She personally had trained some of the most elite guards they had. Yet they had let enemies within their city? Within their home? It was appalling.

Not only did it make her question the guards she had out in place, it had made her question herself in every aspect. Could she have found these enemies? Was she able to handle the enemies she now knew of? Could she even find the enemy?

The thoughts ran through her mind constantly and even caused her to begin releasing too much pressure from her strength. Winds and water around her had reacted more violently after the training she had to gain better control of them recently.

However, she had been calmed when she realized that they always had a plan in the works. She trusted those around her and those who had different strengths.

”Walker has explained that they radiate a scent of death and rot. Their undead, death, and decaying dark manas are toxic and easily found. We will partner up with light mages, healers, and other light affinity skill users to perform tests on them to see if negative effects occur.”

”Those who would be harmed by this naturally will show us that they are open and willing to be appraised by experts with master level appraisal skills which will show us if they are being controlled by these monsters. Any refusals will lead to them being arrested.”

While this was a good start? It has caused more unrest. People were not happy to have to go through these troubles. Especially since they had believed that their guards would be able to protect them from just about everything that could be a danger.

The preparations when it came to the walls and troops had not been small. Hours of work along with radical changes to runes and other aspects of the city. Many had even changed their personal defensive armors or weapons too.

This was all adding stress because of the constant push for new things and drive to discover. Adding in dungeons, new wilderness, and those who had recently moved to Genesis it was even harder.

”I announce to the entirety of Genesis, the first light angel squadron of five hundred strong has arrived!”

This announcement was made by Walker himself through the city using high amounts of wind mana. This was not just to help people relax but also to show that the monsters were even more outnumbered.

The other reason was even better though. Walker had already managed to find ways to hunt the undead shifting slime.

”These undead shifting slimes radiate a little undead and decaying dark mana. Angels absorb mana through their wings meaning that they don’t even need to actively try to sense the manas around them.”

Walker was announcing this to a room with Scylla and multiple guard captain elites. They all looked at him and began to understand.

”This means that they can walk around and sense the mana without trying. We are too limited in the number of elder dragons who could smell them. This means that the moment the divided angel squadron feel uncomfortable with interfering mana entering their wings we must react.”

With Scylla backing up the method that Walker had assembled it was perfect for them. They would be able to do much more when it came to everything related to organizing the newly arrived angels in to their groups. This information also explained why angels might not be targeted by the dead shifting slime.

”Our aim is to trap them and not to immediately kill them. The more we trap the more we can understand how they get inside the city, what their skills are, and how they returned. We always know they are a species of ancient monsters similar to other aliens and shifting species we know of.”

The shape shifters were a species of monster already known to be either extinct or in the verge. Some said they were a hidden race but it was never proved and could never be

supported.

That aside, Walker had a gut feeling that this was the best method for them. If they killed all of them off they would lose the chance to learn how to combat these monsters and also how to appraise them for future knowledge.

In a perfect world, they could easily capture them, but Remey had begun working on this. She had already made potions that harmed the undead, and this was a perfect chance to showcase them. In top of this, many were building toughened metal nets that could be soaked in these potions to trap these slimes.

While a next seems foolish because the slime could live through it, that would not be the case. The purifying light runes in the next would halt any chance the slimes had of escaping. Even if their core or bodies were small enough to love through the holes in the net.

”This is the first rough model of the next and potions. As you see they are in a small barrel of potion that’s been ruined out. If you have light affinity and can throw it, you will enhance it and be able to boost your own natural light purification skills.”

The healers and exorcists along with other related classes that harm undead will be joining. The vampires have even used some of their rediscovered knowledge to begin hunting the undead with their bats. They can tell if there is a hollow part of a body that is abnormal by using sound.”

Hearing how many methods had been pulled together, the elite guard captains moved and began relaying this information. It was just in time too. The masses of guards and troops had just spread out and the searches were growing.

”The merfolk have partnered with the dwarves and already swept through the underground water ways and the underground city. They loved quickly because they had many golems prepared. One group of healers even protected those who it would harm, and used a large scale purification skills. That means whatever is left is above ground and not in the water.”

This report had gotten to Scylla just now. She knew that Walker needed to hear it. But she was also waiting for the chance to dart out of the building and float over one part of the city. She could easily use her might to capture one of these enemies.

”Good. Su and Ignus partnered up and Midnight went out looking along with the others. We are already moving quickly and that will calm the people. I will be going out too. I want an all around appraisal on one of these things.” The grim tone Walker had only showed to Scylla.

She liked it though. It showed his seriousness and strength in the moment. The single focus on these things with his vast knowledge and constant dedication spoke volumes. These monsters had no future here.

”We have a sighting! One fleeing now!” A communication expert speaking through communication crystals caused Walker to dash to his side. He waited to hear what street and section of Genesis this enemy was in.

He was willing to sue spatial mana to get there as fast as possible. If he had to halt the usage of mana in the area, he’d pay the mana cost to do so. The speed of finding one was all because they had the time and preparation to protect ready.

Their speed had made what would take a normal city hours happen in just a single hour. Nothing would harm the I offer races of Genesis. Walker was a sure fire guardian of that reasoning.
