Chapter 1525 1525. Chase The Enemy

Scylla pushed everyone back out the door while the magic circle grew to take over the entire room. Just as she slammed the doors shut and braced them, the mana seemed to disappear from the room. Gluttony's voice was gone and an incredible stillness overtook the entire castle.

The sports that Scylla had braced fell inward, they had started to break down from the opposite side. "I might need…a moment." The pale face that Scylla had showed that she had lost a significant amount of her mana through whatever had just happened.

"Drink this!" Remey rushed to hand a mana potion to her ignoring everything else that might be happening. Alice was the very same and started to look for any visible injuries.

"It's just my hands." The look of Scylla's hands were pruny like someone had just let her sit in the water for too long. However, Walker could sense the lack of personal mana from Scylla.

"Just stay here and heal. You got us out of there before the worst happened." Thankful was just a small part of what walker felt for Scylla's quick decision and instincts. He was sure that something worse would have happened if they were still in the room.

Yet, he had to go back in to the room. The room that had destroyed itself. The rugs had become dust on the ground while anything handing had crumbled away. The chairs and throne that had once been there were just ruins of what they once were. Even scarier was the appearance of Gluttony, or what had been Gluttony.

"He's just bones and dried skin now. They did this to one of their main title holders. One of their strongest soldiers…" As much as Walker knew that Gluttony would have killed them, he also felt pity. Gluttony had been abandoned at the last step. Left to perish to whatever ancient magic they had found in this ancient library.

"Fleur, stay put, I know this is wrong but it will come back to balance soon." Walker felt the sudden tug of Fleur trying to pull mana toward them. The lack of mana in the air was making her feel stir crazy. It was only natural though. Losing connection with mana was torture for any elemental spirit.

"So they lost someone to go somewhere else. That thing called Gluttony stole mana from every mage, citizen, soldier, and even the air to send them somewhere else. That was their plan. They abandoned this land for somewhere else." Gil recalled the words said before this all happened.

"And we need to find out where. They said there was an ancient library. Then we go there to find out where. They went somewhere and they will just get worse if we leave them." Su was also dedicated to stopping whatever this plan was. The demon lord and his remaining two title holders had been able to sacrifice an entire land just to go somewhere.

"That was teleportation. Wasn't it?" Alma finally had the courage to speak up after processing what she had just seen. She and Midnight had been stunned by the event and weren't sure where the hard battle they expected had gone.

"I think so. They went somewhere else." Walker sighed. He felt the stress on his shoulders grow heavier.

"There was no mana that came back from it. Instead, it pulled mana with it. That magic rune circle wasn't finished. It was a one way thing. But if it was to an elemental plane we would have felt it. That much I know." Alma was very uninformed about teleportation. Most people were since it was such a rare thing. Even the party had only seen such a thing because the world had reacted to the call for a hero skill that Onyx had used.

"Then maybe they are somewhere else in the world. We need everyone on high warning. There might be powerful demons that have invaded cities!" Gil was already ex[ectng the worst.

"No, we would have felt that much mana appeared anywhere on this continent. That's for sure. Can't you tell how much mana was in that skill? How much mana was within Gluttony? The release of so much mana would cause waves that we already would have felt here." Walker could tell this was the case. His connection with natural mana told him so.

"Then they…they are on another continent." Su realized that this could be much worse than they knew.

"That wyvern problem. Just a curious question, but you said we might have to deal with that soon. We might have to deal with two issues on another continent at once." Scylla had caught her breath. Her hands still appeared rough but with Alice and Remey healing her with potions and singing, she was able to place the theory out there.

"That's…not good at all. If the demons knew that the wyverns were coming from another continent and were causing trouble for the dragons, the most powerful race on the continent…" Walker trailed off. This was a massive problem.

"The power they gained from somehow taking the wyverns as their own would be much greater than what they had. Enough for them to throw all of this away." Gil finished the thought that Walker couldn't say out loud. That none of them wanted to consider.

"We will meet with everyone later. Just stop here for now. We need to finish saving the people of this city. The people of this land." Su snapped everyone out of their dreadful thoughts. She saw that they had a perfect chance to reclaim the demon race's freedom and they had to take it or else.

"You're right. I was too focused on the problems. Not the benefits. With this, the demon race is freed from their years of oppression. It wasn't how we wanted it but it is the way it ended up." Walker moved to the door. "Let's go and find those that need our help."

In a matter of a few hours, Walker's potion supply was gone. The potions Remey had worked so hard on proved to still be too little. The mana in the air had begun to properly return which aided the healing of so many demons found within the city. These two things paired together was enough for the party to work themselves to the bone.

The demons that awoke and fought were promptly detained. Those that were fearfully and showed that they were ready to hide away once again from the evil that reigned over them were reassured. It brought them untold joy to hear that they had been rescued. That they had no reason to live in hiding or fear anymore.

"You are saying they ran!?" Ignus and Terron were both enraged by the fact that the enemy they had united to catch was missing.

"They fled to find greater power. They fled to find our enemies. I do not like that." Ventus was more open with how she felt. She was rarely angered but this made her truly mad.

"I agree that we need to hunt them down. If they have the time to find powerful foes on another continent then we will have a much larger war. A war that we may not be able to survive." Current wanted to leave immediately.

"Stop this. We have achieved one goal and can plan for another. They left for now and will come again. What we should worry about is that they have ancient magic to do something like that. They have ancient magic that even we do not have and they have gone somewhere that also has ancient magic ruins. Possibly descendants of those that created such magic." Mordant was the first to see this potential.

"And we will go after them. The library is somewhere under this city. Once we find it we can deal with it properly. Find the information they used. Find them. Take them down." Walker felt his own anger flare up but managed to calm himself with a deep breath.

"You said you would stand with us to deal with the wyverns. You also have the theory that these three demons are going to find a way to claim them as their own power. So, will you stay with us and bring your united races?" Ventus spoke calmly. However, Walker felt the test within those words. The test that she proposed to ensure that Walker was truly the royal dragon he should be.

"Yes. I said I would and I will bring all those that I can. It will be hard. We will need to learn a lot. Prepare a lot. I believe we can do it. The first time that our continent and races will interact with another continent. You could say, the future is now."

There was an agreement between them causing the dragons to separate for the time being. Now was the time to clean things up. No more talking.
