Chapter 191: Quests Down The Rift

As mentioned, the three of them have split up in order to make the search even faster. Furthermore, Zeke made sure that a [Party] was formed. Allowing him to teleport to their location if the need ever arises.

"Stay alert, we don't want any unnecessary casualties to come from this expedition." Zeke reminded the two who got their brows furrowing.

"Who do you think you're talking to? We can handle our own against anything these caves can offer." Sylph began; priding herself in the level of power which she has reached.

"Yeah. Plus with how you described it, I think that threat have already passed for this place." Allesiah continued in an unbothered tone. With her [Mana Sight], nothing would pass from the cave without her knowing.

"Suit yourselves." Zeke began. With a relaxed smile on his face.

"Anyway I'm still summoning them to scout the other areas." Zeke furthered, referring to the new and upgraded [Infernal Conjures] which he has yet to make use of.

This didn't need the consent of the Windsprites. He just wanted them to know because, he himself wasn't sure what kind of aura his summons would emit. He then turned the [Voice Chat] option off as he casted:

"Conjure."

The feeling was nothing like it was before. One could hear the crackling of wood getting burned as the bodies of his [Conjures] emerged from crimson red flames that blazed as tall as the emerging summons. Each looking more powerful than before and, all having the crest of the Fire God on them.

"This might really get me in trouble when I enter the [Ruined City]." The gamer thought to himself knowing that the gods would be able to recognize the sigil right away. Then again, he also thought that it won't be much of a problem because this was part of the goal.

"Ah right, I better look at those things now." Zeke furthered. Clicking on the [System Notifications] as he walked along. The messages have piled up since the last time he opened them and so, the notifications began with the recent:

[The Sub Quest "Find Traces of Chaos" has been added]

[A Memory Shard will be given as a reward]

[5% of the Ancient Spell completion will be given as a reward]

[The Sub Quest Discover Quinn's objectives has been added]

[An inferior Chaos Skill will be given as a reward]

[No information can be given about the Chaos Skills at the moment.]

[The skill tree will open once the first skill is obtained.]

"Okay, now I'm really riled up." Zeke said to himself, moving along as he asked Sylph for information from time to time.

It took them longer because it wasn't a speed run that they were doing. The group did a careful and proper expedition of the area. With the [System's Analysis] this came easier for Zeke who was able to distinguish the various things found on the cave. One of these being the light on the ground which was found by Quinn and the first expedition group.

[Information: An unstable material can be obtained from the cracks. Once opened, this would create a massive earthquake which could tear apart the continent altogether. Thus, all areas emitting the glow must be closed in order for the potential disaster to be avoided.]

"Guys are you also seeing the glowing things on the ground?" Zeke began.

"Yeah, that's one of the two things which I told those kids not to touch. Why, what's with it exactly?" Sylph inquired.

"Let's just say that, tinkering with it might cause the continent to get destroyed altogether." Zeke said, getting nervous laughs from the older Windsprite who was already used to the surprises caused by the gamer.

"I can see a similar substance coming from it Zeke. This is definitely connected to that kid you're mentioning." Allesiah continued and, as soon as she informed him of it, the gamer got another quest.

[The Optional Quest "Close the Openings of Chaos" has been added.]

[100 Skill Points will be given as a reward.]

"Now this is going to be interesting." Zeke thought. Giving the orders to both Windsprites immediately.

"Okay. But only the ones on the caves, right?" Sylph cleared the order. Knowing that the cracks could be found everywhere on the rift and, it would take them more than a week if only the three of them would perform it.

"Yeah. I'll deal with everything else." Zeke said.

"Are you sure we won't accidentally destroy the continent in the process?" Allesiah confirmed.

"Well, that is also a possibility but, you know, it's better than having some stupid people accidentally destroying them, right?"

"You've got a point there." Sylph said.

"That's all we need to do right Zeke?" Allesiah continued.

"Yup. That's what we need to do." After informing them about this, Zeke proceeded to do the task himself.

He ordered his [Infernal Conjures] to cover the gaps with both dirt and rocks. It was a simple enough task for the creatures and, after this was done, it was the turn of the [Conjured Knights]. They burned the areas with their weapons imbued with the characteristics of the [Chaos Flames].

"That should do it. Now what else does this place offer?" Zeke continued. The quest wasn't finished yet however as, both Allesiah and Sylph still had gaps to close on their respective caves.

Meanwhile, Zeke [Analyzed] everything he saw until, he finally came across the crystals. The same ones found by Quinn and his group during the same expedition. Ones which they weren't allowed to even touch.

"Sylph. I found the black crystals you've told me about."

"Really? And what does it say."

"Actually I'm not yet sure. This is the first time it has ever happened but, my [System] is loading the information regarding it. You'll probably encounter these when you go along."

"Okay. Well, if you won't mind, I still need to close these gaps." Sylph said, closing her [Voice Chat].

"I'll try using my new ability on it. Maybe it has something to do with our enemy." Allesiah continued.

"Okay. Just don't overdo it." Zeke commanded. Getting an approval from Allesiah who also disconnected from the [Chat].

[59% of the information has been loaded] This was the [Notification Window] that appeared on top of the crystal.

"Why do I get the feeling that this'll be something dangerous again?" Zeke said, knowing that nothing good will come from things that even his [System's] ability could comprehend. It was just like the time he faced the silhouetted figure who had [???] indicated on the stats.

[73% of the information has been loaded]

"I'll just fight whatever comes at me."

[89% of the information has been loaded]

"It's not like I can just escape because, any world that I'd go to would have the prying eyes of those gods."

[96% of the information has been loaded.]

"Let them all come. I'm not the same Zeke that they could toy with any longer."

[100% of the information has been loaded.]

[Synchronizing data]

[Item name: Chaos Shard]

[Rarity: SS]

[Information: A substance that was abundant on the land of [???]. With the disappearance of this realm, the energy of the world was scattered and absorbed by both monsters and areas alike. Due to the high rarity of the item, the crafting of the material can only be done by one who has prior knowledge of the material and the crafting methods used. The analysis itself can only be done by the highest form of analysis skills.]

[Information: The material can be used to make weapons which go beyond the normal capacities of those crafted by mortals. However, this comes at the price of corrupting the individual. Destroying their bodies little by little as an aftereffect of making use of the power of Chaos.]

"Yup. This is definitely something dangerous." Zeke told himself, getting his system glitching once again. There were electrical currents that showed everywhere as another notification came:

[The System Needs to reboot. Perform the operation now?]

"What the hell is going on here?"

Zeke decided to postpone the reboot. They nearly had the excavation finished and, he knew that this could be done as soon as they get back to the base. Hence, he simply continued on with what he was doing as his allies also did the same.

Yet, even before they finished; Zeke was already able to figure something out. The gaps on the ground and the crystals on the walls. These were things that weren't supposed to exist in Mythos. Something which wasn't part of the grand design of the gods. Yet they were there as some kind of unfortunate accident on the Demon Continent.

However, this wasn't the only thing that Zeke would discover as he finally reached the end of the cave. On it, the crystal was still where Quinn left it. A key that allowed him and the other elites to be teleported to another realm. One where they squared off against Slytherin; the event which led to Quinn gaining the [Curse of Chaos].

[Item Name: Domain Crystal]

[Rarity: SS]

[Information: The domain crystal comes in five types. Gathering them all will enable the gamer to learn the skill Domain Creation].

"What on earth did I send those kids to?" Zeke told himself, feeling the weight of all the secrets hidden beneath the surface of Mythos finally coming into light.

"Okay that settles it. I'm going to collect all of these then."

The expedition went as smoothly as Zeke intended it to be. He teleported to all the caves, doing the opposite of what he told the Windsprites. He sped up, reaching all the [Boss Area] within the caves and taking the crystals placed there. Meanwhile, Allesiah was also making progress on the [Chaos Crystal] which she just encountered.

Yet they weren't the only ones making progress because, on the [Ruined City], Glade has finally reached his goal. Getting the power he required to oppose the gods.
