Master Of None

Chapter 1134 – 1134. Setting Sun

Gil was looking at Walker when Walker had used the skill. He saw how pale Walker became and managed to rush over just in time to give Walker a shoulder to lean on. "You know you don't have to use all of your mana when you do things like that, right?" 

"You know I have to. It needs to reach the streams and the springs. If it doesn't then something might be left out. I can't just do it halfway." There was the worry that some poison would remain or something would harm someone. But the pulse traveled well past the lakes. It went through every stream and stone in the area. Even the clouds and sky seemed cleaner. 

"I know I know, but you need to be able to stand tall and show everyone that we are the ones that rescued them. But I doubt you would do any differently." Gil shook his head while he looked at Neil who had just come back down from upstairs through the trail of water elves. 

"Lord Walker. The demi-human representative has arrived with a large group of healers and aquatic soldiers. I am unsure how they managed to get here so fast but they are ready." Walker didn't have the answer for this speed either. He felt that it would have taken longer unless Scylla used her mastery skill to transform again. Yet, if she had she would not be able to bring so many people. He had a sneaking suspicion that when he left out Scylla prepared to come here soon after. Not that she knew what would happen but she had foreseen the need. 

After a deep breath and a mana potion, Walker headed toward the stairs with Neil at his side. Midnight was still helping Alma and Gil in the dungeons. Scylla was nearly at the top of the stairs waiting. "You arrived pretty fast. I wonder how you managed that?" Walker's tone was knowing and Scylla didn't so much as flinch. 

"I know what trouble you tend to get in to. I prepared a standing army nearby and organized healers to come with me soon after you left. It also allowed me to check the connecting waterways for any dangers that snuck up the river." She had worried that a kraken or two may be hiding away waiting to grow. It was better safe than sorry to check everywhere possible. 

"I see. I know you mentioned sending troops to evaluate the river before the traffic from the merfolk arrives. Now, the water elves had been controlled by Lust, the demon title holder of lust. She had been using poison over many years to make the demons and water elves do her bidding. Add that to her illusions and anyone would have been tricked. Her reliance on that made her weaker and easier to beat but if we were not strong enough we would have fallen for her tricks. Now we have demons, elves, and half elf half demons to assist. The main priority is locating the elders of the water elves and getting them in one place. They need guidance to rebuild and function. From there we will bring them to Genesis." Walker knew that some would want to go to Genesis right away instead of rebuilding. Those that did would be welcome before there were documents signed and politics worked out. 

"Care to explain what that magic was? It even cleared those melting things outside. I take it they were some sort of slime from that slime breeder?" Scylla had made the wrong assumption. But it did remind Walker that they still had a very troublesome demon left to deal with. 

"No, that was Lust and only Lust. She had some sort of skill that would control her children or spawn or something. They didn't think. They did whatever she wanted to spread the poison she made to others. It was despicable. We have many here that need healing and rest." Walker made sure that the few healers near Scylla heard this and made their way toward the dungeons faster. 

"I will write a report of this then. It seemed that every demon sin title holder is going to cause problems somewhere. Pride, Lust, Greed. Only three have been dealt with. We know that slime tamer has to be one, that leaves a few more unknown." This was not what Scylla wanted to think about but it was unavoidable. This was the truth and Genesis should be prepared for it. 

"That's a problem for later. It will go hand and hand with the fact that we will need to enter the demon lands at some point. I just want to get the rock elves, dragons, and any others we can find on our side first. The more allies we have the better. I have a feeling that this demon lord will be worse than we know." The fact that the demon lord was able to control so many powerful demons and force them together was enough to warrant their worry. It also meant that they needed to train more. 

"It's been a long time since I worried about my own strength… Go get some rest. We will pick things up later. You managed to cleanse this area and that is more than anyone could ask." Walker saw some dazed water elves while he headed out of the castle toward the sin. He could feel the warmth and knew that it was the warm weather returning. But he still felt the hidden pressure from all of these issues. 

A small voice in the back of his mind was screaming that he was not powerful enough. He was not ready to face opponents that could hold their own against Barry. He was not ready to face the dragons. How could he stand against the corrupt demons?
