Omni-Mastery

"What?"

'An enchanted tool...?'

"It turned out that the 'Demon Cave' you were sent to wasn't the only one to erupt... there are two more!"

"So you want me to head there…?"

"No, I already went out to deal with one, but the last one is quite different than the rest of special 'Demon Caves'..."

"How different exactly?!"

As the token not being as excellent as a mobile phone from reality, it was a bit hard to listen…

"The 'Bomb' is headed towards the Lightning Capital!" (Jean)

"I can't explain as much but... it seems that whatever was inside that last 'Demon Cave', it's headed towards the Lightning Capital as we speak…"

"Alright, I will deal with it somehow, just focus on your 'Demon Cave'."

"Wait, did you finish yours already…? You must have gotten the easier pick… lucky…"

"Goodbye."

Putting the token into my pocket as the connection seemed to weaken and I could no longer hear anything, I turned to the blonde paladin who seemed to know a bit more.

"So? Care to tell more?"

"Yes, but we need to hurry up! The Lightning Capital is really in danger!"

"Alright, you three! We are leaving, as fast as we can!"

"Mmm."

Forming her transportation cloud, Ellona immediately picked up the other two using her wind element before she arrived before me and the paladin…

"Wait!!! We just finished fighting this troublesome demon army, why are we moving again?!" (Eleya)

"Just go with the flow, can't you see that a lot is going on at the moment?" (Mike)

"Gahhh..." (Eleya)

"Get on, we will talk on the way."

'Is she already that close to the third stage…?'

`~~`~~`~~`

5 minutes later…

"First, I would like to thank you for your help with getting rid of that demon for me, I appreciate it."

"You seem to have calmed down a bit."

"Yes…"

"Alright, go on."

"Though it's a bit blurry for me, but after you somehow removed that demon's control, I seem to have received some of his recent memories, that's also how I got a bit of a grasp about this situation…"

'Did he receive some of the demon's mental energy…?'

"Just before he left that 'Dark Cave' he was conversing with something similar to a 'Dark Core' as they spoke about their tactics, which involved three main points, 'Draw out', 'Fake Decoy' & 'Bomb'..."

"The cave we were just at was the 'Draw out'...?"

"Exactly, that was their tactical way of drawing out the dispatchable forces, 'Fake Decoy' is the cave you were just hearing from, it works to draw the rest of the forces who would only move at emergencies."

"And 'Bomb' is the actual danger heading to the 'Lightning Capital' at the moment?"

"Yes, that part was too blurry to hear, but I did get something clearly, if let alone, the Lightning Capital might be flattened out by the end of the day…"

'Flattened?'

"I see, I will put aside the rest of the questions I wanted to ask for now…"

"Yes…?"

"I will have to rush ahead a bit as the situation is a bit too serious at the moment, see you there."

"Mmm."

"What? Again?!"

I jumped off the cloud once again as I used 'Hurricane Steps' to its maximum potential as there wasn't even a second left to spare.

'Let's hope I ain't too late…'

`~~`~~`~~`

80 minutes later…

[ 'Hurricane Steps' has leveled up! ]

[ 'Hurricane steps' has reached lv.2! ]

'God…'

The sky above the capital was completely dark…

'Is that a…'

"GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH"

'Shen Long?'

The dark clouds suddenly solidified as they started to fall down towards the capital as if they were solid ice cubes…

'Is this a joke? Is this because of my naming sense?'

One of the solid clouds was almost falling on a woman as she threw her child away...

"Moooom!"

The sky was falling! This was the only way to describe this situation!

'This…'

Just as I was about to shoot an arrow to help destroy the solid cloud, a streak of lightning came out from the palace as it obliterated it…

"Ian! I and the Imperial Protection unit will guarantee the safety of the Capital's people, find a way to deal with the dragon!"

'Eh?'

My name was just spoken out from the palace, and the voice was also familiar, but…

'It's not the time to think of this…'

As I finally passed through the gate, I could finally see the dark scaled Shen Long in more detail…

'Do I really have to deal with this…?'

…... ]

Looking at the dreadful stats of this corrupted Shen Long, I felt a bit intimidated, but it wasn't to the point of being afraid…

As I looked at the Lightning Protection Formation that seemed to have the Imperial Palace as its center, and the citizens being protected, I seemed to feel a strange feeling erupt in my heart…

There was basically no one to deal with the Dark scaled Shen Long, as all Special unit members were out, Ellona and the rest also still had half an hour before they could return…

'The Formation probably won't last that long…'

The Omni-protecting prowess of the formation easily proved that it wasn't something that could be used for a very long period.

'I have to… no I can deal with him!'

Looking once again at the Dark scaled Shen Long's Intelligence stat, I already drew out my sword as I prepared to take it down…

'It's not my first time to deal with a corruption puppet like you…'
