Elsa finally got off Silva. He got up and stretched his body before heading for the throne. He sat there, and Ella sat on his lap.
All the guardians and his summons, aside from Dawn, bowed before him.
“Alright, let’s get straight to business. The beast wave, that was the reason I came here,” he said.
“Well, my Lord, the reason is really simple, to be honest,” Drake said and came forward.
“Lily was scouting the area for certain materials for her study, and then she noticed an upset in the beast movements from a forest and mountains to the north.
It seems that something has awakened, and its presence is causing the beasts to start moving. If it is not stopped, all of them will head in this direction,” Drake said.
“I understand the situation then. How about we head to that place and have whatever it is killed?
I’d like one or two of the guardians to come with me to the location to battle whatever is there.
We can’t openly protect Ribest, well, not yet. And this town is like my safe zone, so it can’t be damaged at all,” Silva gave his take.
The matter seemed to be less confusing than he had expected. He thought he would have to make plans and everything to stop the wave.
He grossly underestimated how powerful his team was.
“Alright then, let Lily and Zack go with you. Lily is the one who found out about the beast wave, and Zack has been in search of a real battle.
The rest of us have been busy and unable to help him out. This should prove useful to him,” Drake explained.
“Alright then, I’ll go with both of them. We will leave in half an hour. You all can leave. Zack and Lily, let’s meet here in half an hour. Drake, Gallan, and Fang, you stay,” Silva said.
They all nodded and teleported away except for the three he mentioned and for Elsa, who had rested on his lap.
“Gallan, Fang, the reason I asked you to stay is unrelated to the place I am going. I’d like for Gallan to get stronger.
So, I am asking that you, Fang, engage in battles with him from today, push him with all you have, and force him to evolve. If you understand, then you can both go,” Silva said. They both nodded quietly and left the throne room.
Silva dropped Elsa from his lap and walked to the back of the throne.
“I’d like to pick some high-grade weapons, mostly one-time-use weapons. We don’t know what we may face there, so we have to be ready for anything,” Silva said as he opened the door to the library.
Drake and Elsa followed him inside. He headed for a section where some explosives were stored.
All of them were above Advanced Tier, and one of these would cost hundreds to thousands of gold.
He stocked up with a lot of them for a while and then he was ready to leave.
“Master, you should take this as well,” Drake showed him a wooden doll. always-on-MvLeMpYr
“What does it do?” Silva asked.
“If you drop blood on it, the doll will grow and activate. It will use exactly the same power as that person.
It will fight with the power of the person whose blood touched it. So if you face a strong enemy, all you have to do is make their blood touch the doll, and you’ll have a fighter that can combat the enemy.
The only thing to take note of is that it has a one-hour duration, and it will turn to dust after that. But not to worry, there are hundreds of them stored, and the method to make more exists here,” Drake explained.
Silva immediately fell in love with the ability of that doll. He took it from Drake and placed it with the other things he had collected.
After he finished, they left the library and waited for Lily and Zack.
After half an hour passed, Zack and Lily finally arrived at the throne room.
“Alright, we should get going. I have a date this evening, and I have to be back before then,” Silva said.
Lily activated a magical circle that would drop them close to the forest. Silva walked into the circle, Zack carried his massive axe and walked into the circle.
The circle flashed, and they appeared at the edge of the forest. The reason she couldn’t teleport them in was because the mana of the being that had woken up was interfering, and that could cause a lot of issues.
Silva could already feel the presence deep in the mountains, and it got stronger by the moment. He could understand why the beasts would have a hard time here.
When it got too much for them to handle, they would all start running away, and that would be the beast wave.
Silva walked into the forest, and they started running. Lily flew close behind, and Zack ran as well.
Their aura was enough to ward off any beast as they made their way to the mountains. The mana got stronger as they went.
The amount of mana had already surpassed that of Silva, and that was alarming. The only person he had seen with mana this high was Lily.
Though hers was still much higher by comparison. They got to the base of the mountain, and there were no beasts; the environment was no longer safe for them.
Silva could tell whatever it was, it was deep underground.
“Zack, make a crater as big as you can,” Silva said. Zack nodded and then took his axe.
The axe began glowing blood red, his eyes also began glowing as he lifted the weapon above his head.
Silva and Lily gave him some space. He roared as he struck down. The axe hit the ground, and the explosion that followed was extremely loud and massive.
And when the dust and particles died down, there was a massive crater with a hole at the center. The attack had broken into the underground chamber.
