CH.599 Return of the Duelist
After Cailie’s birthday, I finished the last few devices that would be needed for the portal exploration.
I had made the device that would allow those with Summoning Magic, but lacked the Taming skill, to make summoning contracts on the other side of the portal. Naturally those who have both skills can do it without the device.
As for those who can only use Taming. Well, they can still ta monsters on the other side, but after they return, they won’t be able to summon them. But they can bring them to this side through the portal.
Which sounds great, but it does have a minor problem. The monster(s) brought to this side through the portal need so mana from the tar. It isn’t all that much, but it is more than natural mana regeneration, unless you have Fast Mana Recovery with a decent level. And with higher rank monsters, the mana needed is even more, so you need an even higher Fast Mana Recovery skill.
So I began working on a device that could make a temporary portal to a monster the user has tad. But that will take a while. Making a temporary portal and moving a stabilized portal are two completely different things. But I’ll eventually figure it out.
Now sadly, I won’t be joining the exploration team. I want to, but I really just can’t. I’m the dinsional fissure detergent. … Okay, not really. I’m the one that cleans them up with Exodia. That ans that I really can’t be sowhere in the middle of nowhere with questionably reliable contact with HoBase.
Thus, soone else has to lead the team. And luckily, soone perfect basically demanded to be the one leading the team. Unika.
She really is a perfect choice, as she can both summon monsters with Summoning Magic and ta them with Taming.
She is also a beast-folk, so she shouldn’t get any bad blood from the mbers of the Wild Pack. They’ve been getting better since our cooperation began, but they are still a bit … They don’t fully trust humans, let’s put it that way.
We, Unika and I, were about to head out to talk to Indigo and the people she picked to be a part of the portal exploration squad, but before we managed to leave, I got an alert from a miasma dositer. One of them had experienced a miasma surge equal to that of a dinsional fissure.
And since fissures are top priority, I imdiately headed to where the alert ca from by teleporting to the adventurers’ guild holding the dositer that sent the alert.
Unika promised she’d sent backup and that she’d take care of business with the Wild Pack.
That guild was in a bit of a panic because of the readings, but they cald down a bit after I arrived. The guild master knew from the ti I planted the flowers, so I quickly got so info from him. Sadly he didn’t know where the fissure was, as they hadn’t found any sort of pre-sign, so I’d have to search for it.
I asked him to have the adventurers focus on defending the town and then quickly flew up into the sky in hopes of seeing the fissure.
I didn’t spot anything imdiately, so I sent out as many surveillance drones as I could, so we could find this fissure. I then activated Miasma Vision, hoping it would guide to the fissure, and as I did, I realized why I didn’t spot anything.
I turned to face the sky and saw miasma leaking from an open fissure. That was about four, maybe five kiloters in the air. I assud it would have appeared near the ground, as that is where they have always been. Except the one ti it was in the dungeon. But still, I’ve never seen a fissure being that high up in the air.
With it being so high up, it isn’t easy to spot. Fissures are 20 to 30 ter 2 dinsional objects. So looking at it from the ground, all you would see is a thin line of visible mana and miasma.
And flying around the fissure were at least 20 wyverns. Most of them were regular B-rank wyverns, but at least three of them are larger, and thus are likely A-rank.
“... okay, monsters first.” I said to myself, as I opened my Collection. I had to get out a handful of monsters, as I had a plan. Sadly that plan needed to summon a few monsters quickly, but luckily the wyverns were still just flying circles around the fissure, so I had the ti.
“Co forth, my Hieratic Seal of the Sun Dragon Overlords.” I said, as I summoned two Dragon Balls. What? They are dragons and they are balls.
