God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Chapter 96: Ultimate Decision

The second condition of King Sammodra reverberated through the throne room, as they all turned to look at each other in the eyes.

Now it was starting to get suspicious that only one of them could accompany him, but it was also faintly understandable due to the chaotic nature of the nightmarish creatures.

The one in question might be weak, and therefore, it set a condition that only a certain number of people could meet with it.

Nightmarish creatures that are intelligent and capable of reasoning, most usually will pale in physicality, while those blessed with power pale in intelligence.

It was the strange buildup of nightmarish creatures that they knew.

They are never blessed with a straight all perfect enhancement and will always have a weak point.

Now the important question remained: who would go with King Sammodra?

"I will go..." Oliver called out to the group, but while they always agreed with his decisions, this time they furrowed their eyebrows instead.

"I think the best person to go is Ferris, Oliver..." Abuela called out, and the group didn't argue against that.

They all knew well of Ferris's power and were aware that, in such an event, he would be the most equipped to deal with unforeseen situations and the most capable of handling nightmarish creatures. It was his bloodline.

"No, I will go!" Oliver said adamantly. "I have a plan..." He completed, and while they all had furrowed brows, they eventually settled, seeing the small smile on Oliver's face.

While they weren't confident in his strength, as Oliver didn't major in strength but in intelligence instead, they also wouldn't mind him leaving with King Sammodra.

His intelligence had been enough not just to save him, but even their lives more than a couple of times already.

"Okay, then. The decision has been made. I will be following you to meet this nightmarish creature. How long will our journey back and forth be?" Oliver asked, and the king responded.

"He is present in a location not far from here. It's in the palace, after all, but I would say if I go at half my full speed, we should be able to reach it in 7 hours and then return in another 7 hours. Let's say 15 hours..." He responded as Oliver's eyebrows furrowed.

Fifteen hours added to their current time would mean they would have around 3 more days left to complete the mission and return. It wasn't much time, but what choice did they have?

"Okay then. Let's leave..." Immediately, Oliver said, and in the next instant, King Sammodra rose from the throne, clapping his hands twice. A few seconds passed, and a group entered, all in matching uniforms.

"Escort the guests to the best guest room available!" King Sammodra ordered, and in the next instant, he picked up his mighty trident and headed for the opposite door in the throne room, followed by Oliver, who gave a simple nod to them before following the king out.

"This way, sirs..." The lead servant said courteously to them, and the rest of them were all led away.

Three hours later...

"Here is your guest room, sir. If you need anything, all you need to do is call, and we'll be immediately available. That said, is there something I can currently help you with?" The female servant said to Nolan, who shook his head.

"Thank you for the hospitality..." He replied as she gave a polite bow before leaving.

Right now, Nolan was in an extra-large and luxuriously designed living room. Its design wouldn't pale even a bit compared to the one in Aethercraft, and there were three other doors in the room, which Nolan could immediately guess their purpose.

He had been informed of the plan before he came in, and that was that they would all wait for now, for Oliver to return. If in 15 hours he didn't return, they would have to continue to the rift, close it up, and then proceed to find Oliver.

Hopefully, Oliver returns safely, but still, it wouldn't hurt to create a backup plan in case he didn't. Too much was at stake to simply rely on a single hope.

Therefore, Nolan was currently free for the next 15 hours, with absolutely nothing to do.

Placing down his bag, he settled on the sofa before closing his eyes.

[Don't tell me you're just going to sit your butt down there and do nothing.] The system notification suddenly appeared as Nolan raised an eyebrow.

"You got a job for me?"

[What the!? You're in Atlantis for fuck's sake! At least, go out and check things out!] The system roared to him as Nolan's eyebrow furrowed.

Really, the system's point made sense, and it would be nice to check out the realm, but then, Nolan soon relaxed back in his seat and shut his eyes.

"I can't do that. It might affect the plan. Also, I'm not an Atlantean. I will just draw too much attention to myself."

"They might look like humans, but it's clear I don't have scales, and how much would I achieve if everyone pauses to look at me with every passing moment?"

"No Celestial Heirs have ever come here in more than thousands of years, remember?" Nolan said out loud.

Going out right now would only cause endless eyebrows to raise at his figure, and that was the last thing he wanted right now.

Who knows what trouble he will get into and how that would negatively impact the plan? hosted-on-MVLeMpYr

In the end, it wouldn't be anything good, so it was better to just cooperate for now.

If perhaps they were able to finish their mission and still had two days more, then they all could familiarize themselves with their surroundings for a day before they all headed back.

But as things were developing, Nolan genuinely doubted that.

Suddenly, the surface of Nolan's body began rippling with a strange blue light, and his eyes narrowed before he finally remembered.
