Master Of None

Chapter 2130: 2130. Another Mess

”I brought about twenty of every high healing potion. That way we can split them with some of the diluting potions I made. They are just bases that work for the mana and the health potions. Very useful for whatever is needed. You can make a lower potion easily in to smaller wounds, but you can also use it to generally make slaves or wrapping bandages.

One of the erbs is able to stop the infection potential.”

”Remey! Can you please stop? You have told us all a hundred million times over that you have potions to bring. This new thing-”

”If you cut me off again Gil, I will drag you all the way back to the treehouse you and Alma have been living in and make very sure that she keeps you under house arrest there. Youʼll be a great housewife that canʼt go out hunting. Canʼt make new arrows. How does that sound?”

Remeyʼs threat was very real to Gil. he knew very well that Alma would side with Remey right now since she was unhappy that he had decided to take on this challenge. Their conversation had gone a few hours while he explained why he had to go to the elemental planes. How he and the party would be the only ones. Not even Alice would be going as a healer.

It had taken Alma a lot of time to accept it. But after a few conditions along with some explanations about how the elite elves would have a chance to go in the second group, Gil had managed.

”Oh and you donʼt think Ignus wouldnʼt listen to me if I told him you wanted to go off alone when we find the fire elemental planes? I bet he will have you clasped in his claws just as soon as I finished speaking? Huh? HUHHHHHH?!”

The two kept going at it though. No matter how much Remey threatened Gil with punches or how Gil threatened to ensure that Remey would be stuck being babysat by Ignus.

”Itʼs kind of funny how Gil and Remey are still arguing just like they did on the first day we all met.” Su was looking back at the time they had all met. How Remey had gotten angry at Gil just for looking at her. Not that it wasnʼt the start of many smaller arguments between the two. Thatʼs just how they showed one another that they cared. It was like two siblings.

”We all havenʼt changes that much. We grew stronger, but we are still us. Although, Gil has somehow gotten a wife before all of us, Remey made friends with a literal fire dragon and she can fight him without repercussions… well, maybe we have changed.” Walker stopped speaking there. Eh felt that he couldnʼt keep himself as honest if he kept listing how they had changed.

”Iʼm half dragon now and a draconic guardian with multiple affinities. You have some weird new but still old race that no one knows about. Midnight is a role model for every young dragon, even the ones older than her. Onyx is a patriarch to an entire race. Does that sum it up?” She giggled a little more as she checked her armor.

The teleportation rune formation was nearly prepared, they had been waiting to head back to the island. The rune formations had been used a lot but also improved even more. Every day they would undergo some form of maintenance while also being improved with better designs or even entirely being recarved.

”Brother, I think that this will be an interesting adventure. We will see what the island has been doing since people have gone back to explore.” this was a good point from Onyx. he had been wondering what the island would change in to as the bridge to the elemental planes was solidified there.

”It will become a very busy place at some point. Plenty of people will want to explore the elemental planes or experiment with the denser mana that will be around the island. I just worry about how smooth things will go.” to be fair, Walker wasnʼt the only one with these worries.

The genesis council had brought this up since the island and the bridge to the elemental planes had appeared. They were both worried that the beings within the elemental planes would come through and also that there would be those that pushed themselves to travel within without the proper safety measures being taken.

While the beings that could come through the bridges might not want to since the manas would not be as dense or as pure in the world. However, that depended on whether or not they were attracted to the natural mana which formed here. The odds of a perfect balance of manas within the elemental planes were slim to none.

Walker had already seen that in the records of the demon library. There were records that had been found and brought to the Genesis council about how manas being naturally formed together would be rarer. Especially if there was not a proper place where they could all meet equally. Hence, natural mana would be rarer in general.

The beings that were in the elemental planes might also be burned with their own rules and methods of control. They could be limited to where they could go. The bridges to the world might be off limits because of the chaotic manas that surround the world and the spaces where the bridges were. It was a dangerous risk for those that relied on manas being within order.

When the rune formation flared to life, Walker and the rest of the apathy braced themselves. They waved to Alcie who had come to see them off. She and the few priests with her were preparing for their own journey to handle the northern city.

They would be speaking with them to decide whether they would join the Genesis alliance or if they would accept that the other cathedrals and churches had changed the leading cathedral once and for all.

It was something that Walker did not worry about at all. He knew how powerful Allice was if things went poorly. Not that he imagined she would harm anyone. Yet, he also knew that if she saw someone being harmed unjustly, that she would be willing to put everything she had on the line to help that person. Hence why she had become a saintess.

The rune formation on the island had been made much stronger. Walker could sense it as they appeared on the other side. Yet, he was surprised to find that there were not any mages to greet them who had activated the formation. instead, just piles of elemental crystals here and there which were enough to allow for anyone to teleport to the island a few times before running out of mana.

His head turned in search of people when he noticed the wreckage.

One of the ships had remained behind on the island in case the rune formations were to break. The others had taken it upon themselves to travel back toward the ruins of the vampire castle so that they could assist receiving more historical artifacts for the race.

The ruined ship was partially sunken. The rest of it groaned and swayed with the waves. Looking even more closely, Walker could not spot anyone or anything else. There were signs that many people had been here working. signs that there were researchers hard at work examining stone or statue pieces from the ancient ruins. But none of them were to be seen anywhere.

”Walker, do you remember what happens to an undead, like a skeleton, when it has nothing fueling it?” Gilʼs tone was grim. He knew very well what the answer was.

”It falls apart in to bone pieces…” he trailed off as he saw that there were pieces of bone on the ground nearby. As the party cautiously stepped forward, they saw that there were drag marks in the sands. Broken tents. Even a few skeletons that had been crushed instead of just left behind.

”He came here somehow. He might have escaped that tower when everything started to move back to the normal flow. Him being trapped there wouldnʼt be a natural flow of anything. But heʼs a monster.” Su tried to logic it all out in her head. But she couldnʼt, there shouldnʼt be any reason that the immortal king had escaped the tower where his very soul was trapped due to his evil experimentation.

”We have to hunt him down now. Donʼt we? He will only get worse if he starts to make worse undead with elemental beings.” whether it was possible or not, Gil had no idea. But since the immortal king had come here, taken the people with him, and destroyed those left on the island, they couldnʼt just leave it alone. They had to do whatever they could to clean up this mess.
