Chapter 286 - Big Argument!

As Eric was told about this sudden change of quest, he had no choice but to agree even though past insecurities are kicking in. Think about it, Eric is an all powerful Electus who has the capability to wield all 8 of the base powers yet he wasn't strong enough to even scratch the nicknamed Man Beast.

Sure he later found out that the reason behind it is indeed large, theft of power and murder as a motivator. That helped tame his insecurities just a little bit when it comes to dealing with such a disaster of an enemy, but now he has to face them again.

Even though both him and Mogranius qualify as Experts(Level 4) In Fire Controlling, they still can't out match a man who is even more powerful than a fully trained Electus! What good would it do to Ignis considering that they are practically flying to their death.

The moment Chan will get a hold of the passed down powers, The Electus will be a target. After all, this process of passing down Power won't in any way kill Xakro ill.u.s.tratio lll if he does everything right.

What if Chan kills both Eric and Mogranius with all that overwhelming power now that the Inner Demon of self doubt won't entirely hold him back? With two power crazed men in the room, Eric can be killed as far as they are concerned and his heart would be gifted to Xakro, perhaps by curing the Curse Xakro would evade death and live to see another day?

Considering his theory, if the Curse goes away so will the wounds, he would be able to reach Level 12 in each sort of power and, will have more of a personality formed by himself instead of being almost an exact clone of his father and grand father. One thing that merges with this theory, that Xakro over looked due to the lack of information to the topic. Is the Inner Demons, they would be reduced to Level 0.

It merges with the theory, but as the mother of all Sources specified when the gang met them. The overwhelming power the second consumption of an Electus' heart offers, wouldn't cure anything and would just destroy King Xakro permanently. The odds of an explosion aren't slim either.

However as they debated about leaving to reach Crutal Kingdom today or tomorrow since a few minutes after snow started falling down heavily, showing signs of a blizzard which would make survival hard even for an Ignite. More trouble arose over their shoulders.

Well we can't call it trouble, let's just say that a huge argument broke between 5 people. Three of the five had the most contribute but it was indeed a huge nerve wrecker. Commander Alia along with Ada wanted to join, and they had more than one reason to do so.

First things first, why wouldn't they come and help in every way they can? They are in this together after all, that was Ada's piece of the argument but she didn't keep it going for too long. Amazing indeed considering that she is a child, chose to stop herself instead of being yelled at to stop.

Secondly, Commander Alia wanted to join because she knew that this journey would likely lead to death. And with death almost inevitable, why would she let the man who she shares love with, die alone? If they are going to die, they will die side by side. That was her claim but it sure messed with the Eric's self esteem towards this task, he felt weak.

Third, although they didn't express it by word. Both of these ladies miss both of the men, be it Mogranius' crazy stories and jokes or be it squeezing Eric's cheeks and give him lots of hugs. All four missed just spending time with each other, and to make it worse Mogranius insisted for the two to remain in this hidden domain instead of going back to Gaster Kingdom.

Stating that it is a lot safer for the moment. Sure the people here are kind, but they still know each other for just a day. It would become tremendously awkward in the first weak, and they had to withstand cold conversations because these two ladies suddenly appeared and claimed to be lovers of the two, well one did but the point is still there.

But who brought the most impactful argument was Osira and she carried the most valid point until now. Eric and Mogranius made Commander Alia and Ada stay with the excuse of taking to long to reach Crutal Kingdom if the two joined.

But what about Osira? She wanted to help them in this journey once their Origin and acts of bravery were made clear in the middle of these arguments. Furthermore she would prove very useful to the arsenal since she too can fly, and although just a Magician (Level 3) in Fire Controlling, three Fire Controllers is better than two for such a task.

She wanted to repay for all the kind acts of which Eric and Mogranius have provided regardless of the huge back stab. She felt guilty about the fact that such acts were her only option for Victory against the people who did them wrong and to aid the rest of her people.

But Mogranius strongly refused. "It is way too dangerous!" He stated, and to describe the fact a bit more he added more sensitive information but it wouldn't damage him or his own gang in any way. "We aren't dealing with Snow Ignites here, we are dealing with a man who is practically above an Electus power wise. And we might have to face two of them."

"I don't care. I will come and help you either if you want it or not." She still insisted which brought in this huge argument. Her pride wouldn't allow her to evade this suicidal task, she wanted for debts of loyalty to be repaid.

"You are needed here, we don't need you there if you just become a Corpse as a result." Stated Mogranius, a bit rough for once more but he had to do so in aims of keeping her here. "She is just 17, she doesn't have enough power to survive there." He thought as his mouth ran against her wishes.

She still remained insistent, in no way did she want to leave them take this journey alone. There was only one thing that could stop her and it worked, Bittore.

Bittore is the Grand Leader of this little Tribe and further more she is Osira's mother. In no way would she allow her daughter to fly towards her own death no matter what the intend would be. Even when she sent her to King Tamzar, the situation was staged.

"Osira, you can't help them like this. Neither of us can, we are needed here and they insist to face their enemies alone." A rough language indeed and at some point sounding a bit ungrateful but Bittore was quite aware of what she is saying, for once not speaking in rage.

She just wanted to convince her to stay, and Mogranius became quite aware and ignored this rough wordplay. But did it stop Osira, no. This can't be possibly staged.

"Yes we can! What difference would it make if five of us go down with them? Ten Fire Controllers would still be here to protect our people from any threat." This just proves how honorable she can be towards her people who she now considers her own.

"Osira, I need you here for a special task. We have to double our food supply or else we will face complications soon, I need you here." Quite the opposite, she has several qualified Fire Controllers for the task be it for hunting or anything similar but this is just an attempt of keeping her here. "Plus you have all those containers to make, please stay here."

Finally she came to an agreement, became convinced to stay here even though she figured out what her mother was trying to do. All odds were working against her favour, she found it pointless to argue further.

Afterwards a lady was sent to see if it is still snowing, so they can determine if they can take this journey today or tomorrow. In the meanwhile Commander Alia was trying to figure out why Osira had such a strong insistence, sensing a scheme behind it too.

Now trust can't be 100% considering that she tricked Mogranius and Eric once. But Osira's behaviours didn't make sense at all. "Why would a Woman coming from a group who sacrificed so much and did so many tricks for the sake of her people, insist on helping at such a dangerous task?" Commander Alia thought to herself as she sat near the Fire along with Ada.

The lady returned and declared, "There is a Blizzard going on out there."

Considering another problem first, Bittore expressed with a gentle tone. "Let's hope that the ill.u.s.tratian Army survives it, they have to deliver this information or we would have to step on this land with paranoia."
