Master Of None

Chapter 1770 1770. What Was Stolen

The earth rumbled as the group moved away from the wyvern queen. The soldiers had begun to sit and rest within the chamber. From the way that Terron had glared, they knew that they had been assigned to guard the wyvern queen. Naturally, some had issues with this.

"Seran, you do not need to stay in that chamber to guard her, but now that is another race of the world. The world saw that they struggled and with the dragon's guidance, the issues that you face will be solved. There will also be more diversity in your continent. It means improvement." Walker was still very tired, but he had drunk some mana potions after he had asked Onyx to remain with Alice to keep her protected and company.

She had worked hard showing off the true strength of her singing. Her healing. And overall, the determination to outperform many others in effort. The other healers, life mages, and the crystal mage especially had also gone beyond what had been expected. Anyone with healing skills seemed to be prepared to go the extra mile to use their entire mana pool to get the job done. This made Walker sure that the healers would fit right in with Genesis helping mentalities.

"The choices made are not always the correct ones. However… I see that these wyverns are controlled now. I will not push for more fighting. Especially since we barely wounded any of them in this fight." Seran clearly didn't like the idea of letting the wyverns live. Yet, it was also clear he knew limitations.

"Hatred for the wyverns will be there until they change their ways and prove they can be trusted. The wyverns here are slumbering and could be taken advantage of. Why not show them that they need to take another path? Join Terron and guide their entire race to a more peaceful and accepting tactics toward other races. They can immensely help the Sigil continent when it comes to protecting villages and the cities that are losing their rune protections."

Since Walker offered this, Seran was pushed in to a deep thinking moment. Walker didn't keep pushing after that and kept walking with Terron who had changed to his dragonkin form. The wall that had rumbled up was much older than what Walker could recall. Yet, he had seen a glimpse of the past. Surely time would have affected this.

The writings on the wall were similar messages that prided the earth dragons and the power they held over the very earth they walked. It was similar to the royal dragon hall. It also matched the caves that the other dragons had within their own villages. Or the basic storage areas. Yet, Walker could make out the small indentations that would be able to slide out using earth magic.

"Despicable." Rise and Ventus returned. Current and Mordant had already met them while Ignus was just getting caught up on what they had all discovered. It appeared they had found something and put the pieces together about what the slime breeder may have been. That had greatly disgusted Rise enough for her to speak out so much.

"We are just about to investigate something left behind by the earth dominator dragon that ruled over this mountain range before passing away." Walker caught all of their attention but knew that they would not be checking the wall just yet.

"That slime stole bones and bodies. The wyverns had another passage where they placed their dead. Many of them have parts missing, especially the majority of what appeared to be an older male wyvern." Rise was quick to speak about what was angering her. She didn't even hide a single fact about what they had found.

" A burial chamber is similar to what we have done the old ways. Every statue normally holds a dragon's bone beneath it. At least part of them." Ventus explained it. The wyverns had celery taken some stock from this and made their own burial area. It just went so far to show that the wyverns truly wanted to use this method to become their own society. Follow the path of dragons and separate themselves from the other races as their own powerful race.

"That was what they meant when they said they had what they needed. They had the bodies of wyverns that have perished." Walker mumbled and the rest of the party overheard what he had said. They had all wondered what might be the reason behind this.

"You don't think that they are trying to make an undead using the wyverns?" Su offered this and everyone stopped in their tracks. The royal dragons all focused on her before showing anger.

"Undead dragons are not allowed to exist. It is a stain on all that lives. If they dare to raise an undead wyvern we will annihilate it before it can so much as open an eye." This reaction from the normally calm Current was enough to tell everyone what dangers and history the dragons had with undead of their own kind.

However, the undead that the party had defeated came to mind. Hard to fight and unfeeling. It meant that if a powerful monster like a dragon or wyvern became an undead, that they would be much more powerful. Able to completely defeat many creatures out of basic instinct. Add on something controlling it, and the undead wyvern would be a massive bane to all living things on the Sigil continent.

"They came here for power. If they couldn't have a dragon but got a wyvern body…" Walker felt that he understood things a little better. Remey and Gil both appeared to have grasped this even though they were also very tired after what had gone on.

Midnight was the one that was struggling with this the most. She remembered the undead king and how he could control the undead. But she had no idea how a dragon would become undead. It appeared to be something that would be impossible. The dragon would greatly push back against it. She had the same pride as a normal dragon, it rejected the very idea. Yet, the royal dragons seemed to have records of such a thing happening. And having a wyvern becoming a dragon should also be just as impossible.

"We will destroy that demon and every slime they possess. It will not plague us any longer." Terron made this vow to them. He was sure that he would be able to make a difference if he went deep in to this fight.

"You will be guiding the wyverns upon their awakening. You will not join us in this battle." Ventus spoke calmly. She had returned to her normal calm state of mind and looked at Terron then to the sleeping wyverns. She knew there were many but not as many as there had been before they set their traps. Some clearly showed the injuries from being part of the battle at the traps which had been set.

Terron was clearly torn by this. He wanted to take the lead still as he had here. He could do much more when he was pushing through to the source of all this drama. All this fighting. But he also understood the role he had taken. The role the world had bestowed upon him as the current royal earth dragon. "I will send half my dragonkin warriors with you. They will battle under Walker as his warriors until I am able to leave the wyverns." Terron's decision was hard to make but a very important one to make.

"Now, what's in there?" Ignus was forcing himself to ignore the anger he felt. He had understood quickly that he could not track down the slime breeder. No matter what, the slime breeder was able to even hide lord slimes from them somehow. It made him uneasy to chase it without a guarantee of destruction.

The wall had already been risen up from where it sat. the thickness was enough to call it a massive block instead of a wall so much. Yet, with Terron's control, the multiple slots slid open revealing many things.

'Memory crystal

The memory crystal stores the techniques and memories of the past earth dominator dragons. They have stored their knowledge within these crystals before great battles to pass on their knowledge to the next most powerful earth dragon. The elder earth dragon…'

Walker had seen a massive crystal like this in the royal dragon court. The hall behind that the elder used to record many happenings of the dragon's history. "Terron, these are all earth dominator dragon memories. These crystals are their legacies. If these are here, that means there should be other ruins with each elemental dominator dragon's legacies." Walker stopped the thoughts of every single royal dragon in one single moment.
