CH.290 Clearing away Slave Marks
“I apologize for the surprise visit, but sothing ca up, and I must inform you of it personally.” I apologized to Lord Peks as I t him the next morning.
We had returned to the town of Pekkers using B.E.S. Crystal Core in the morning.

I can just free them. They are slaves because of a magic mark drawn on their body, right? So what do you do when you need to clean away magic? Well, you use the Feather Duster of course.
“Harpie’s Feather Duster.”

And because the mission that gives Dragonmaids is worded the way that it is, I should get a Dragonmaid card for each of them eventually. Actually, I should get one for Wilma as well. She is my employee after all.
… But as good as all of this is, it did leave us with a small issue. My carriage just isn’t large enough any more. It could fit the five of us fine, and even the addition of Wilma wasn’t a big problem, but now with two more people, I’d either have to hurry up making a mana source for the spatial expander, but I actually already had sothing for that.
And that was a mana transfer device. I could link it with a magic stone, and then have the stone instantly send mana into the device. Wait, did that make any sense? I’ll try to explain it so that everyone will understand.
So basically, I’ll have to have a magic stone that holds mana. Then I can link this device to it and it can pull mana from that stone. Hopefully that explanation makes a bit more sense.
This was sothing I both accidentally and purposefully made. I wanted to make sothing like this for when my HoBase infinite mana factory finally goes online, but I wasn’t aning to make it when I did. I was actually working on a wireless magic communicator. Basically a magic walkie-talkie. But instead I got sothing that was close to this, so I just converted the failed walkie-talkie into a mana transfer device.
I think I’ll try to hurry up with my HoBase plans, but it just isn’t ready to be implented yet. The factory tests are good, and it should work out, but I’m still min-maxing efficiency, placents and all of that. I want to have my HoBase be as well designed as the Hero’s country, if not better. No point in doing it poorly, only to have to rebuild it all from scratch.
Outside of the population increase causing to use so of my monsters for additional transports, our trip had been going well. And I think Einar and Eline enjoyed riding Ancient Gear Beast and Leogun.

I even ended up summoning so of my more classic machines, Overdrive, Oni Tank T-34 and Labyrinth Tank. … Sadly, two of those are just a bit… out there, so using them might be a bad idea.

I don’t want so rchant thinking I’m going to rob him, just because I happen to be driving an Oni Tank or anything.
Wilma was quite the fan of my machine monsters, by the way. She was especially interested in the materials they were made out of, and basically begged to let her take one of them apart. I was thinking of letting her experint with Cyber Dragons, because Cyber Dragons are titanium, I think, but I also don’t want her to do anything stupid to monsters that I really like.
But yeah. Our travels are going relatively fine again, so I wanted to just relax a bit and maybe open so packs. It has been a few days since last ti. Last ti was… it was after I returned Cailie ho from the dungeon. … only for her to get re-banished… I hope she is doing well in the Hero’s country. Maybe I should take Alice and Lua on a date there and ask soone like Ula how Cailie has been doing.
Yeah. I know that would be breaking so date etiquette, but I know that at least Lua worries about Cailie sotis. Not so sure about Alice though, as she is the more easygoing of the two.
Anyway. Back to so packs.

So as for the sets I have, Laura added those check marks after the sets that I have three of everything from. As if I wouldn’t rember it myself, but it was still nice of her. So yeah. I just have two not fully completed at the mont. Not that I wanted to open up anything but Shadow of Infinity. I want another Sacred Beast card. I only have Hamon and I want another one. Not that I’ve summoned Hamon outside the factory yet, but at so point I will. And I’m sure Agunan will enjoy getting another Divine-Beast that he can lose to. Well, he can actually tie with Hamon, as long as I allow him to have infinite mana, but he does lose if he doesn’t have infinite mana. Maybe I should give Agunan another install, so he will be strong enough to beat so of the Divine-Beasts.
Let’s think more about that later. For now, let’s open so Shadow of Infinity.
Spoiler
SOI 1
Super Junior Confrontation, Ancient Gear Factory, Saber Beetle, Miracle Kids, Anteatereatingant, Ancient Gear, Generation Shift, Gokipon, Princess Curran

First pack, all ready all repeats. That’s a sha. Next.
Spoiler
SOI 2
Tenkabito Shien, Ancient Gear Factory, Full Salvo, Photon Generator Unit, D.D. Guide, D.3.S. Frog, Next to be Lost, Malice Ascendant, mory Crusher

Sa with this pack. All repeats. Next.
Spoiler
SOI 3
D.D. Guide, Sand Moth, Machine King Prototype, Super Junior Confrontation, D.3.S. Frog, Silent Insect, Saber Beetle, Disciple of the Forbidden Spell, Option Hunter
[collapse]
… Do I even have to say it? All repeats. Next.
Spoiler
SOI 4
Tenkabito Shien, Anteatereatingant, Trial of the Princesses, Saber Beetle, End of the World, Malice Ascendant, Chain Thrasher, Silent Insect, Chainsaw Insect
[collapse]
Well, at least Chainsaw Insect is new. It is also quite strong, and its usual negative effect isn’t really negative at all. I an, how does soone ‘draw a card’? And they can’t get a Pack token either, if they don’t have Pack Opener. So it is basically a 2400 attack monster with no downside. … actually, it does have one. 0 defense ans it does die easily, so it is basically a glass cannon.
Anyway, next.
Spoiler
SOI 5
D.3.S. Frog, Machine King Prototype, Symbol of Heritage, Saber Beetle, Next to be Lost, Tenkabito Shien, Ancient Gear, Cyber Laser Dragon, Chainsaw Insect
[collapse]
Cyber Laser Dragon. Nice. That is honestly so good. And with its effect to blast anything with more attack than it has, it will be quite useful, I think. Sure A-rank and higher monsters will resist the destruction effect, but they will still take so damage from it.Once per turn, you can destroy 1 monster with ATK or DEF equal to or higher than the ATK of this card.
Let’s keep this going. Next.
Spoiler
SOI 6
Silent Insect, Symbol of Heritage, Magnet Circle LV2, Super Junior Confrontation, Hero Kid, Chain Thrasher, Full Salvo, Ancient Gear Drill, Proto-Cyber Dragon
[collapse]
Well, Proto is new, so that is good. Always good to get sothing new, instead of a repeat. Don’t know how useful it will be, but still good to have.
Next.
Spoiler
SOI 7
Silent Insect, Success Probability 0%, Elental HERO Neo Bubbleman, Anteatereatingant, Chain Thrasher, Next to be Lost, Hero Kid, Demise, King of Armageddon, Proto-Cyber Dragon
[collapse]
Well, that is a Demise. Hi Demise. Sorry I never got you with Manju, but at least I was now able to pull you from a pack. I still need your waifu, but I’m working on it.
Next.
Spoiler
SOI 8
Malice Ascendant, Grass Phantom, Beelze Frog, Tenkabito Shien, Success Probability 0%, Full Salvo, Machine King Prototype, Super Junior Confrontation, Phantasmal Martyrs
[collapse]
And that is all repeats, but let’s hope Phantasmal Martyrs is a sign of the incoming Sacred Beast. Next.
Spoiler
SOI 9
Full Salvo, Generation Shift, End of the World, Beelze Frog, Anteatereatingant, Machine King Prototype, Elental HERO Neo Bubbleman, Ancient Gear Cannon, Cyclone Boorang
[collapse]
At least Cyclone Boorang is new. And I might be able to reverse engineer it and make so cool weapon out of it.
I think next pack will be the last, so maybe sothing amazing?
Spoiler
SOI 10
Next to be Lost, Beelze Frog, End of the World, Parasitic Ticky, D.3.S. Frog, Symbol of Heritage, Miracle Kids, Adhesive Explosive, Damage Condenser
[collapse]
… I an… it is sothing new. And it is an SR, so that is good. Sadly it just… isn’t amazing. It is alright, I guess. And Adhesive Explosive is new as well. And it is actually better than Damage Condenser. So this isn’t a bad pack to end things on.
I think I’ll pull another ten tomorrow, so I can get a Sacred Beast, and maybe so Enemy of Justice packs as well. Yeah. I think I’ll do that. Then let Laura take over and full complete the sets.
“... Lord Brian… would I be able to ask sothing?” Wilma asked that evening. We were once again keeping guard, as the others slept. I got so looks from Alice and Lua when I decided on the order we would keep guard, but I’m honestly just min-maxing out System Support efficiency. It is best if one of us System Support holders is always awake to keep guard.
“You already did, but I’ll assu you want to know sothing else. Go for it.” I granted her permission in my almost classic slightly snarky way.
“... that day… when you ca to my workshop…” Wilma began. “... I died… didn’t I?”
“Why would you think so?”
“... it is just… I rember… this strange place… It felt like a dream… I was only there for a second… but it felt… I don’t know.”
“And why would that make you think you died? It could have been just a dream.”
“I … I thought so too… But then I heard about the smoke bomb… Sothing like that. If what you told … about how smokey the room was… I should have died, I think. But I thought it was impossible, because I’m alive. … until I saw you resurrect that catfolk boy. He was dead. I’m sure he was. There is no way he would have lived for that long… with a big hole in his stomach.”
“Perhaps. So, where are you going with this?”
“... well, if you really can do that, and it is easy enough that you did it to soone who attacked you… maybe you did it to ?”
“... I see. Well, that is one possibility. Or maybe what we told you earlier is the truth? That you were simply passed out from the smoke. So, do you want to actually know the truth, or was that just you asking about things?”
“... I … I wish to know the truth. Did you resurrect that day?”
“... No. I did not.” I answered honestly, with emphasis on the I. Because Lua was the one who used a Monster Reborn on Wilma.
“I see…”
“But you did die that day.” I then added. “When we arrived, the smithing room was already completely full of smoke. Agunan was the one that ca into the room and took you to the other room. Lua tried her best to keep you alive, but she isn’t great when it cos to breathing problems, and you ended up passing away.” I explained to her what happened. “After that, she was the one who used a Monster Reborn on you and resurrected you. I didn’t do it.”
“... she can do it too? … what is she?”
“Ask her yourself. She might answer, or she might not. Her secrets are not mine to share.”
“... I see. I’ll… think about it… But at least… I’ll make sure to thank her.”
