Even if Allen could kill without any remorse, he was by no means a monster. He would help those he could help, especially if he deemed them worthy of his assistance. He wasn’t like those with a hero complex who would save anyone they could save, even if they were ungrateful and evil.
Putting those thoughts at the back of his mind, Allen faced Alisceon as he asked her a question.
“How about we head back to your kingdom?”
Hearing that question from her teacher, Alisceon was snapped back to reality as she stopped marveling at the gift that her teacher had given to her.
She was well aware that with the gift that her teacher had given her, it was more than worthy to be placed in their kingdom’s treasury and even become her family’s heirloom!
Of course, it is not that she planned on handing such a valuable artifact to those rotten families of hers, especially when that priceless artifact was gifted to her by her teacher.
“Teacher, my royal carriage has already lost its mana, so it can no longer travel. Not to mention, the horses that pulled the carriage have already escaped. Unless we either recover the mana of the carriage so it can travel autonomously or have a magic beast pull the carriage, the carriage cannot be used.”
Alisceon answered her teacher’s question dejectedly.
She had already used the mana that was stored in the royal carriage to activate the magic formations inscribed on the royal carriage. Because of that, the royal carriage already ran out of mana.
When Allen heard Alisceon’s answer, he didn’t show any expression on his face as he wasn’t fazed by such a problem.
He solved that problem by transferring his mana towards the royal carriage as he filled up the magic formations of the royal carriage with mana. He even improved the magic formations within the carriage so that it would use a lesser amount of mana but provide better effects.
Allen had near infinite energy reserves, so he had the luxury of using his mana or any energy he wanted without having to worry about running out of energy. After all, he could use his <Supreme Mathematician> talent to recover his energy by multiplying the energy that remained in his energy reserves.
That was why Allen wasn’t even disconcerted in using his mana as if it was nothing.
After Allen recovered the mana battery installed in the magic formations of the royal carriage back to 100%, Alisceon was no longer shocked that her teacher could easily expend his mana as if it was nothing. After all, she knew that her teacher was a formidable mage, so his being able to do that was nothing compared to his earlier feats.
“Teacher, I forgot to tell you that the carriage can only fit four people inside it.”
Alisceon told her teacher about the number of people that could fit inside the royal carriage. The royal carriage could only fit four people inside it while there were five of them.
Knowing about that problem, Allen already figured out a way to solve it without using any of his abilities.
“John and Deus, the two of you will run alongside the royal carriage. Try to catch up with the royal carriage until we arrive at the Gaia Kingdom.”
When Allen proposed that solution to them by only letting him, Iris, and Alisceon inside the carriage, Deus was displeased by such an action.
Deus wanted to experience being inside a royal carriage and travel inside it. The protagonists in the fantasy novels that he had read were mentioned to experience such a luxury so he also wanted to experience it.
“But I want to experience riding inside a royal carriage!”
Deus pouted which received disgusted looks from not only Allen but John as well.
After all, it was disgusting for Allen and John to see a grown-up teenage boy like Deus act cute. But if it was Seref who did that, then they wouldn’t be disgusted since it was undeniable that Seref had a cute appearance due to being a shota.
Seeing their disgusted looks that were directed toward him, Deus clicked his tongue in annoyance as he reconciled with them.
“Fine, I won’t ride in the carriage.”
After saying those words with a hint of annoyance still present in his tone, Deus used his bone manipulation to generate bones using his aura as he used those bones to form a skeleton horse.
‘If I can’t ride on the carriage, then I might as well create my means of transportation. There is no way I will run several kilometers!’
Deus thought to himself as he took a saddle from his system inventory and placed it on his skeleton horse. After placing the saddle, he proceeded to mount the skeleton horse while waiting for them.
As for John, he only kept his countenance and didn’t show any displeasure towards them. And besides, he knew that his body was quite weak, so he planned to absorb the mana in the surroundings and use the environment to make himself stronger while he ran toward the Gaia Kingdom.
Not only did John have time manipulation and virus manipulation, but he also had energy manipulation. His manipulation of mana could rival Allen’s mana manipulation, so he planned to use that opportunity to make himself stronger.
Seeing that none of them were showing any displeasure, Allen headed to the royal carriage followed by Iris and Alisceon. He didn’t need to open the carriage door since Alisceon didn’t close the carriage door when she had exited the carriage before.
After entering the royal carriage, Allen sat on the lower side of the carriage with Iris by his side. On the other hand, Alisceon sat on the upper side of the carriage. The seats of the royal carriage were very comfortable and were also designed to face each other.
Creating a tea set and placing it on the table in front of them, Allen took a sip as he used his mana to activate the royal carriage. Outside the carriage window, Allen saw Deus riding his skeleton horse while John was catching up to them by traveling on foot.
Their destination was the Gaia Kingdom!
