Sylph woke up to the warmth of the sun hitting her face. It was way past daybreak and, judging by the position of the sun, it was already noontime. She picked herself up from the dirt she lay on and began by casting a wind spell; forming a small cloud shade on top of her as she began assessing everything that occurred.
Sylph immediately looked at her chest where the sword stab was supposed to be. Just a few more centimeters to the left and the attack would've hit her heart. She was thus thankful that it missed. Thinking that it was largely due to Quinn's assistance who may have tried moving the hand of the enemy.
Nevertheless she was in pain. All her body parts were sore and so she continued healing through all of these. But this was not the top of her worries. It was something graver. Indeed, at the top of her head, there was one person whom she needed to report the event immediately. It was Zeke.
"What am I going to say to him now." She thought as she stared at the azure sky above her. Covered by the dense cloud she placed on top of herself.
It was an enemy far stronger than she. One who could stop even her ultimate move and, stab her in an incorporeal state. It wasn't something that could be defeated that easily and, quite frankly, she thought how the feat would be impossible even for Zeke. This was how bad things were. So before worrying could completely consume her, Sylph decided to open up the [Voice Chat] and do what must be done.
"Hey what's up?" Zeke said immediately responding as soon as the [Voice Chat] came up on his end.
Thinking that she'd report it was easier before but, now that she was actually hearing his voice. Sylph found it unbearable that she would be the one to tell such a news to Zeke.
"Sylph?" Zeke continued; waiting for the elf to respond and she did. Finally beginning to utter the words that need to be said.
"Zeke. I'm sorry." She began; with tears forming on her eyes.
"I have failed you and the team." Her voice was quivering so Zeke knew that she was about to cry. He didn't pay attention to it as the elf might get embarrassed.
"Speak up." He said; wanting the details of whatever it is that Sylph was about to say.
The elf told her about everything. From the end of the mission to Quinn's unusually long sleep. She also told of how the elite seemed to change as he woke up and how his aura was different. Then came the report on Quinn preparing to leave which lead to the event of the duel between the two.
"Then he came. Whoever it was. There is a person hiding within Quinn's body. One which has an unbelievable amount of power residing in him. I tried to stop him. I did. But he was just too powerful for me."
At this point Sylph expected to get a scolding. She waited to hear of Zeke telling ho disappointed he was with her and how incompetent she was. She steeled herself for these remarks but, all she got instead were the words:
"I see."
"What...you're not angry?"
"No. There'd be no point in something like that. I can't have my emotions getting the better of me on situations such as this. Plus, Quinn is much stronger than you think. Trust me when I say that he'll be able to handle the situation somehow. Although, I've got no idea how long he'll be able to keep up."
"Then what should we do? Should we go after him?"
"Let him be for now. There'd be no point in chasing after someone that can't be defeated. We'd only be courting chaos."
"Oh speaking of which. He did say something like that. When I aske him who he was. He told me that he was Chaos." Sylph furthered, giving as much detail as she possibly could.
"Chaos huh. Well I've got no idea what that is at the moment." Zeke simply said.
"For now just focus on what you can do. Repair both the continents that we have already conquered. Also tell those kids to continue training. I'll be giving them new equipment soon but for now, they need to make do with what they have."
"Understood." Was all that Sylph replied.
"Oh and one more thing. You're going to be the Queen of the Demon Continent."
"EHHHH!"
Zeke cut off the communication there. He also muted Sylph so as she couldn't make any complaints. He then slouched on the ground, preparing for what was to come.
"Honestly I keep on having stronger enemies." The gamer said, looking at the [Minimap] which already had the whole map of Rak'shan, the Beastmen continent, laid out.
Initially Zeke intended to attack as soon as he dropped to the shores of the continent. Bringing all destruction to those that dared stand in his way. But then, quests came up. Those which had rewards that he just couldn't resist.
[The Optional Quest – "Finish the Minimap" of Rak'shan has been added]
[Reward: Adds 5% to the Ancient Spell completion rate.]
[The Optional Quest – "Protect the Citizens" has been added]
[Condition: 80% of the total population of Rak'shan must survive when the conquering begins.]
[Reward: Adds 5% to the Ancient Spell completion rate.]
These two in themselves were enough for Zeke to stop from his plans. Adding the rewards, he'd have [60%] on the completion of the [Ancient Spell]. Something which he could just not pass the opportunity of gaining.
The other quests were easy enough to accomplish. And adding them all together, Zeke ahs the chance to accumulate as much as [100] skill points during the run. Of course, there might be other quests which would add along the way. Something which Zeke gladly welcomed as, he needed to restore all the points he depleted by buying the domain expanding skills.
With these missions, Zeke naturally blended within the communities as he made his [Chaos Wyverns] roam in the skies to make the [Minimap] completion quest faster. Apart from this, he was also able to get some useful information from the inhabitants of the land. Part of these was a useful event that'd speed up his goals.
It was said that, the Windsprite sisters would be meeting that very day. This was, according to the civilians, in order for them to make a strategy on how they'd attack the Demon Continent of Helios. And just from this Zeke was able to understand that, the remaining siblings were finally able to catch on. That the Demon Continent wasn't under the previous rule anymore.
"That saves me the trouble of having to go to the last continent." He thought to himself.
Thus Zeke continued preparing for event. He made sure that everything was just as he planned them out to be. The teleportation markers. The barriers. The summon points for his [Conjures]. The equipment to be used and also the items.
Zeke was ready to clear the remainder of his quest because one thing was for sure. Glade would soon return and, if that happens, Zeke knew that he should at least have three continents properly defended and liberated in order to corner the current King.
"Okay. Time to get this show started." Zeke said. His eyes gleamed with its bloodlust crimson as the mist of darkness crawled all over the continent.
This was the same as in the elven continent. All inhabitants, soldiers, and monsters alike were having a strange chill creep on their body. Like they were surrounded by the dead in a place that was both cold and distant from any source of heat. And, this was also felt by the Countess of the continent. Allesiah Windsprite.
She gazed out of the window and saw the mana that mixed with the air. Her eyes would never deceive her for these were eyes that have been trained to see the flow of mana. And there was no mistaking it. She knew who it was that was causing such a widespread interference on her land. The same person who gave her the ability to see the flow of mana. Zeke Elwood.
"So you finally decided to show up." She thought to herself, gathering her equipment as she prepared to leave the castle.
"Mistress where are you headed?"
"Outside. I need to check on something." Allesiah simply said.
"But, your sister is almost here. It would only take her a few more minutes to arrive." The frantic servant said.
"Then tell her to come and follow me. I'd need all the help I can get with the person I'm going to meet."
"Pardon?"
"Just do as I said." Allesiah simply replied, with the servant bowing and leaving the countess to herself.
With this Allesiah left her castle and flew above the night sky. She saw the [Conjures] coming up from the ground one by one and the soldiers being frantic about them. She didn't stop to help any of them because, she knew how the summons worked. She knew that they'd just keep coming back because as long as Zeke was alive, the [Conjures] would never die.
She then halted at a spot which was far from any of the strongholds. It was desolate, with the ground as dry as could be. If it were a normal person who looked at the scenery, they'd see nothing. Only the gigantic rock formations placed all around. But Allesiah was no fool.
"I can see you. No matter how good a cloaking spell is, it still uses mana." She said with Zeke finally coming out of the [Cloud of Dreams].
"I see you still have the things I taught you Allesiah." He said, smiling at the sight of the elf who didn't even seem to age for a day.
"Leave your words for someone who'd listen." Allesiah summoned a hundred [Darkness Spheres] all at once. Amazing even Zeke who never saw something as grand as it before.
"I guess you won't listen then." Zeke said, bringing out [Death's Void] as their fight finally began.
