Master Of None

Chapter 1506: 1506. Attracting Trouble

The ringing in everyoneʼs ears was too much for them to hear. The amount of mana that had burst out from the magic device created to force the lord slime to split constantly was powerful. It had enhanced the sound of explosions causing even Midnight to be pushed in to a temporary deaf state.

But this loud echoing sound was a dangerous signal. Many other beings heard it for miles. Not only the fellow troops marching but the demonic monsters and demon soldiers heard it clearly. Once the sound started to return to their world, the party was caught by the deafening silence around them.

No flames, slimes, or even grass was left. Just a still silent space. ”Walker! Collect the pieces. We need to bring them back.” Remey wanted a better method to destroy these things. She didnʼt want to see any more of these slime spawn making magic contraptions.

”Agreed!” Gil was right with her. He had already started to grab some of the pieces around so that he could help bring as much evidence as possible. The more that they could provide to any researcher, the closer they would get to figuring out how such a thing was made in the first place.

”This feels wrong.” Su stopped everyone in their tracks. She was trying to see what was going on around them but the small hills blocked her view. But she was right. The silence was abnormal. Something did seem wrong.

”There are no birds singing…” Alice had picked up on the fact that nothing was singing. They made a lot of noise doing what they had done, but that wouldnʼt have stopped the animals completely.

”Midnight, Gil, take a look around.” Walker started to get more on edge. He was quick to store away what he could grab of the shattered rune carved glass.

”Walker! we found something!”

Midnight growled out a small roar as well. She and Gil did not hesitate to run toward him. Their expressions and nervous energy spoke for itself.

”How bad? Just tell me.” Walker held himself serious. He had to. If he started to panic then it was all over from there.

”Demon soldiers heard our attack on the slime making thing. We need to move back or we will be a pretty decent target. There are at least twenty of them. But thatʼs not the worst of it, they have two giant fire slimes that are following them. They are luring them this way.” There was a serious look in Gilʼs eyes. He knew that the demon soldiers were already a problem, but two giant fire slimes?

Way too much for them to handle as they were now.

Midnight was bobbing her head up and down to ensure that Walker understood just how dire it was. ”I donʼt think we will get far,” Su spoke softly. One of the demon soldiers had moved ahead and was just starting to come over the hill.

”If we run we might be able to keep them at bay until we cross another groupʼs path. But if the other groups arenʼt nearby…” Walker wanted to try and get to more groups. However, if they rushed to a village and found a group that was injured or a village without anyone there yet, it would spell their end with even more victims.

”I wouldnʼt say we are in trouble brother!” Onyxʼs mental communication was something that Walker wasnʼt sure that he would hear. He thought that Onyx would have needed to move much further away to make it to the nearest harpy or back to the village to send a message.

”We found your little brother along the way!” Alma shouted from the cusp on the nearby hill drawing the attention of the demon soldiers. They roared out in a battle cry but they were already at a disadvantage. Two dwarven golems charged over the hills towards the fire slimes while Scylla ran through the air.

”Finally caught up to you trouble makers. I thought you would go all the way to that demon capital without me!” Scylla was more excited to find that the party had left her with some soldiers to battle.

The elven mages that came in to view next were more of a surprise. Walker had not seen the stone elves or the dark elves before. The powerful magical skills they used were not attack skills, but entrapment skills. The shadows reared up and wrapped the demon soldiers as if it was flexible rope.

The earth spikes shot through the distracted giant fire slimes causing their cores to become crushed. The golems then stomped out the heated bodies of the slimes without any issues.

”Now this is what dragged me all the way here? How simple. I followed for a small battle like this.” The king of the surface smirked while speaking. He was very interested in the difference between the party now from when he last saw them. Bit even more about the sound that had drawn them toward him.

”I thought you would still be in the mountains!”

”Mountains? I left there forever ago. I had to come and take care of you.”

Alma and Gil stood face to face. They didnʼt need to say anything else. They were right where they should be.

”So this is the human recognized by elves?”

”He seems less impressive. But I will admit he has some unique mana around him. Both the stone elf and the dark elf seemed to want to ask more questions but Alma and Gil were completely distracted.

”I will call my soldiers here to handle our new prisoners. They werenʼt even worth using force on. They cowered and fell in to the traps of our new dark elf and stone elf friends.” Scylla enjoyed the ease of battle but knew there was more out in the demon lands waiting for her.

”I can say this, you all know how to make an entrance.” Walker couldnʼt help but shake his head at them.
