Master Of None

Chapter 2421: 2421. Aftermath

This event was not over in just a few hours after things had been brought to the Genesis council building. It had been easily an entire night of discussions as the reports of final examinations on the defeated monsters rolled in.

Several monster analyzers and monster butchers and even brought together. This was more than just to prove that these undead shifting slimes had been defeated.

It was to ensure that everything about them was put to rest and the information that was gained about them was used to be able to ensure that this would not happen again. So many people had been affected within the Genesis territories because of the measures taken to handle all of this.

When it came to the farms, they had their guard patrols increased and would remain as such. This was because there was no proof that more undead shifting slimes were was not attracted this way and would be focusing on methods to get in to the main city.

There was so much food for the undead shifting slimes and they had enough intelligence so that they could managed to get inside in the first place. While it was a worrisome event, this was a learning opportunity.

To be fair, Walker had mentioned few times that they had increased the presence and the growth of guards overall. Just the fact that so many had acted so efficiently had proved beyond a doubt that the current efforts of everyone protecting the city was well worth it. The guards who had reacted in less than minutes were major. They had managed to break out of their rest and right ion to their armor ready for their orders. Past that, the guards had moved and gotten in to positions relayed by the communications crystals at a speed beyond the tests that they had been given prior.

All of that was being given and shared to the public along with the measures planned to be taken at the entrance ways of every city gate and even the farming outer gates leading to the slightly separated dragon territories that helped make up the entirety of Genesis.

Since there had been so many angels that teleported over as well, this was being shown as a way to bring the separated forces together for training and for education. The angels had a sense of mana that allowed for them to join in the battles that happened with the guards. So much so that four of the undead shifting slimes had been defeated before any of the strong individuals within the city had even gotten close enough to fight.

Midnight had been one of the people to witness the shocking unity that the angels had when working with the guards without a large amount of prior training. Thai wasn’t because the light angel squadron sent to them was so advanced that they had been able to join in different guard groups easily.

Instead, this was because the guards of Genesis Had become so extremely diverse and flexible that they adapted without the need for other orders.

There had been many events where many of the guards or even the newly training guards had been involved within real battles along with being forced to adjust their actions as the world changed. This sort of aspect adde din to their training was a wildcard.

Some would have said this was a bad thing since it wore away at the guards as they were receiving more injuries on a regular basis and potentially wishing to end their careers as guards easier than usual.

On the contrary, it had made them some of the best guards any kingdom could even brag about having as elites. This was putting aside the elite guards trained by the larger figures like Scylla herself.

Those guards had been able to fit themselves so well with the movements of the angels and how the angels sensed the manas with their wings that the angels quadron felt they were working with people they had trained with their entire lives.

This was all putting aside the angels that had moved to Genesis and made homes there. The few angelic guards who had been with Genesis since the Sigil continent had been found and explored a bit more were well above the levels and strengths of the light angel’s squadron

sent.

This opened the eyes of the light angel squadron and their superiors gave them immediate permission to remain within Genesis for three months of training and follow up protection and change to bring back more knowledge and help all the angels unify better. A good choice too since this also helped put the people at ease since they still feared more undead shifting slimes.

The rune carvers and craftsmen invited to speak with mages within the Genesis council meetings had managed to come up with a rough rune formation that operated on checking for undead mana and similar manas that the undead shifting slimes used. These would be used at the gates to register if there were any that tried to enter in to the city.

While this was just the first measure being taken, it was a major one that the people listening to the communication guild reports wanted to what most of all. Mostly due to the fact that they wanted to see solutions. A mass of people in fear didn’t care for the causes or the events overall, they wanted to see and hear the solutions to keep them safe. While harder on leaders, this was always a reality.

The news of the hidden race making an appearance also circulated. However, Walker had been the first to speak with a representative of the communication guild and even took the lead in bringing them in to the Genesis council meeting. Surrounded by all of these powerful figures, the members of the communication guild listened carefully and noted down the joined stance on this race.

”The shifter race is entirely separated from the monster species undead shifting slime.” This was the first major announcement made in multiple areas as the communication guild received the information.

”They are a race living among every people of every kingdom. Hunted in the past and hiding from the risks they have faced. As such, they are welcome within Genesis under the pretense that they have a leader sent as a representative and educate others about their race as all races have done. In no way will they be exiled or hunted. In no way will they be betrayed by the other intelligent races. Their dead will be handled with care and ensured not to become undead shifting slimes under every possible situation.”

That large announcement was made to prove that they would be treated as all others. While Walker had yet to see a representative since their announcement was made, the pride within the city had grown. Not only had they not realized that another race had been here and feared for their own safety, they took this not as the shifting race hunting their undead.

The way this was presented showed a race that was too afraid that their undead would get them killed and that felt they were unable to reach out for help. The way that the communication guild did this was through the art of words which every single representative on the council wanted.

Just the slight tweaking here and there had made a race that could have been seen in anger and fear in to one seen as a victim as well. Not that this was far off since the shifter race was so isolated due to their history of being cast out of most places due to the fact that they were able to take the form of others.

While this also brought a lot of questions about how they might be related to mimics, shapeshifters, and other monsters, it was just something that would have to be figured out at a later time. Especially since the histories of monsters were being shown in a new light now. All due to the fact that monsters were returning to more ancient forms of themselves or awakening their ancient bloodlines. So many of the things known about monsters over the years, especially ones that lost certain traits in the records of cities, were changing.

By the end of the long meeting and the evidence brought before them, Walker examined the report given to him in depth and found that the triple cores were something that the shifter race definitely did not possess and only their undead possessed. That was because he knew they had different affinities.

So this presented a potential change in monsters. They could be awakening their new forms as simple as having multiple affinities. Some even rarer and more dangerous. Something he and the entire council did not like to theorize about right now.
