Chapter 115 115 - Between The Sea And The Sky



<Maybe they are already dead…>

'First I need to confirm this'

Looking all around, Ryan couldn't find any familiar faces. Most of the injured travelers seemed to be novices from Rank D to B+, however, some of the younger healers were part of the guild's training base. Following the corridors of that castle he went running after the sound of the clashes, until at a distant door he saw the blond hair of Aether.

"Some information" he said approaching the blond man. "This building was infested with monsters, I am trying to clean it up as we move forward with the group. Seven told me that part of the group was teleported to a beach, were you with them?" he questioned.

But Ryan didn't answer, he just walked and passed through the barrier of rank travelers. In front of the group were hundreds of scorpions and corrupted rats, the quantity was so great that the wall itself seemed to be made of those creatures. Sighing, he channeled all his mana and his demonic energy into his chest.

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!"

"STUPID NEWBIE"

"He want's to die?"

The travelers in that corridor were all Rank S, a group of travelers so closed off that they didn't recognize the promising newbie. But Aether interrupted them all, with a smile, the blond said "Wait. He knows what he's doing."

The rookie turned around and said to everyone "Close your eyes". Seconds later, his body began to glow with flames so intense they would have stunned any of them. The heat in that hallway was increasing, and even with your eyes closed you could still see the brightness that was taking over the place.

Ryan's body was emitting this light, half of his body was filled with black flames, while the other half glowed with a red and golden fire. With a snap of his fingers he projected the flames forward, eliminating all the creatures in front of him. As he moved forward, his bloodlust increased, the scorpions were melting completely, while the rats simply disappeared upon contact with the fire. 

Following the corridor, there was a room full of skeletons. But within seconds, they were all turned to a mere dust. In less than two minutes, Ryan had completely cleared the floor of that building. Aether was the only one who remained with his eyes open, he followed behind Ryan, watching in surprise at that rookie's display of power.

"My mana is over now" he said, turning to the blond. The two were standing in front of a staircase that led to a lower floor. "I am grateful for your help, boy" he said, bowing. The guild rested for about fifteen minutes on that floor, waiting for the mana of the S Rank travelers to reach maximum again, with that, they left moving forward to the lower floor.

"Ok, with that, the wounded can start coming down now" said one of the healers who was organizing the area. She had blue hair with some white, as well as one golden and one blue eye. This woman's appearance was extremely striking and different from the rest of the healers. Turning to Ryan, she said "Hey! Golden boy, come here".

'Golden boy?'

<You were glowing with a golden color just now>

Moving closer he said "do you need anything?" The lady then held out her hand and bowed "The name is Lynn, Lynn Marine. Cold you please light the wood?". Ryan laughed at that and with a jab, threw some fire towards a pile of pieces of chairs and wooden cabinets.

"Isn't there a possibility that the smoke might intoxicate the group?" He questioned, as he watched the fire increase with speed. "Don't worry, Wendy is right over there" she said, pointing to a girl with black hair and green eyes. Next to her dress was a book with a wind rune on it. 'A wind-bending adventurer...'

<Interesting, very interesting>

The upper floor remained as a sort of base, while the rest of the travelers took the opportunity to explore the rest of that dungeon. Ryan explored the entire floor, but found nothing that was interesting, most of the doors were sealed with heavy magic, that's when they weren't welded together with raw magical iron. "Try to get through the wall" he said to Nyx, who entering spirit form, passed through the gray bricks of that building with ease.

<I have good news and bad news>

'Tell the bad news first'

<We're away from the boss>

'Isn't that a good thing?'

<Well, we are in the middle of a flying island...>

At the same instant, Ryan looked down at his own fist. He closed his eyes and already imagining the pain he would feel, he activated his demonic form and his Healing Hands, so he punched the wall with all his might. With a single punch, he created a large hole in that place, showing the sky of the abyss region.

You could see clouds and bats circling that tower. Looking down, he realized that this building must be over two hundred stories tall. The island that the building was on was not very big, so it was still possible to see a blue sea from one side to the other, the color of the water did not look like the goo of the abyss, but like the ocean.

'Can you get down?' at the same instant, Nyx threw herself out of the window. The girl fell at high speed, past the island and down into the water. *Puft* Some water rose up, flying everywhere. Surging to the surface was she, giving away by raising one of her arms with a thumbsup <The water is salty, and we're a little far from the beach. Oh! The rest of the group is fighting some giants!>

"I need to tell Aether about this" Ryan said, before taking off running with as much speed as he possessed. After running down two floors, he found the blond man commanding the group, they were fighting six foot tall creatures on a floor that looked like a library.

"Aether! I found out where we are!" he said, getting the blond's attention. "What do you mean?" he replied, approaching the newcomer. Again, Ryan looked for a wall leading outside and with one punch, he created a window in that area.

"We are, in mid-air?" The blond man said, sticking his head out. Ryan replied, "Yes, and if you pay attention. We are in the sea, near the beach."

The blond and the rookie exchanged glances, it was as if they had both come to the same conclusion. "You're really clever, Whitemane" he said, before jumping out of the building.
