Chapter 934 Travelling To The North

Chapter 934 Travelling To The North

Tucking Lisandra in the bed, the four left the room for now since Lisandra needed some time to rest after finally reaching tier 6.

Gesturing for everyone to go to the command centre, Shiro wanted to talk with them about the new information that she had received from the Light Goddess.

"So what did you want to tell us?" Lyrica asked as Shiro sat down.

"When I got rid of the Light Goddess’ Crest, she gave me some rather interesting information I suppose. It was information about a relic that will appear in this world after a month and it’s towards the north. In her own words, she said, ’Towards the North, between the twin peaks of Frost Giant’s Pass, a Rainbow Grade Relic will descend to this world.’ Personally, I’m not exactly trusting of her words but if there is indeed a relic, we should stop others from obtaining something that is so powerful." Shiro said as the three frowned.

"If it’s a Rainbow Grade Relic, do you think it’ll cause some kind of phenomenon that notifies everyone?" Lyrica asked with a frown.

"Possibly. However, there is a chance that the system will just notify everyone of its appearance. There’s probably a good chance that we’ll have to fight a few Queens there." Shiro frowned while leaning back a little.

"With my current body condition, we’ll have to be careful about how we approach this. I’m not sure if I’ll be healed up in around a month. But we have to fight for this. The power of a rainbow grade item can’t be underestimated. I’ve got two myself and one allows me to summon the primordial gods so you can guess how strong they are." Shiro narrowed her eyes as the three of them nodded their heads.

"Regardless, I’ll be increasing the training for everyone in the military. Hopefully, we’ll have a squadron of specialised units to fight in the battle. But if it does come down to it, I’ll be issuing an evacuation order so that I can use something called a Void Bomb. It’s better for something like this to be destroyed than to be given to other people." Shiro narrowed her eyes.

"I’ll explain to you in detail about this bomb at a later date but we’ll be travelling North for now. There isn’t much we can do about Tokyo’s current situation with the ghosts. I also need to find out where exactly the Frost Giant Peak is." Shiro said while massaging her neck.

"Also, if you can, try not to say anything about my eyes and sense of touch out in the open. You can tell the rest of the party, but if news of me being injured to this extent is spread to the rest of the city, it’ll cause quite a bit of distress." Shiro smiled as the three of them nodded.

After talking for a little longer, they made their way back while Shiro started to set a course to the north.

{Your future self is correct after all. Each of the Queens become Queens because they’re recognised by the system as powerful individuals. Even their subordinates can seriously harm you if you underestimate them.} Nimue sighed.

’Indeed. I should have observed a little. Honestly, against opponents like her, I’ll need to make sure I got something that can defend my soul since that’s probably the weakest part of me. I’m all for attacking but my defences are lacking.’ Shiro frowned. Even if she wanted to be a glass cannon, she still needed a bit of protection for herself.

{Mn. But your future self never mentioned about the Ghost Queen so there’s a big chance that she was eliminated early on. The ones that are most dangerous is the Beast Queen and the Dragon Empress.} Nimue frowned.

’I already have Nan Tian investigating the Beast Queen since we got some leads on her but that’s only in a single branch city. As for the Dragon Empress, we have nothing on her.’ Shiro replied.

{Maybe you should call Nan Tian back for the artefact. He’ll be a huge help should we fight.} Nimue suggested.

’Mn... we’ll see what happens.’ Shiro closed her eyes while thinking about all the things that they needed to do.

###

It’s been roughly a week since the settlement was destroyed by the dragon. Gathering some resources has been rather difficult but after a few times, we got used to it and managed to find an efficient way to harvest food without entering too many fights. During this week, we had managed to save quite a few people but we’ve made sure to keep our group small and escort them to a shelter.

After last time, I don’t think the other’s are keen with letting lots of people in.

"There’s a settlement ahead." Gordon said as he had a pair of binoculars that he managed to salvage from one of the destroyed settlements we’ve passed earlier in the week.

"Oh? We can probably drop off the survivors then." I nodded as I patted Nitha’s head.

Flying down, we regrouped with the others and notified them about the settlement.

"With our speed, we would get there early in the morning if we hurry. Roughly 3 or 4am. If we camp the night, we’ll have to wait till tomorrow afternoon.’ I explained as the survivors nodded their heads.

Eventually, we settled with moving through the night since they all wanted some safe shelter. During the last few days of travel, we’ve been attacked at night by monsters and if it wasn’t for Nitha, we might have suffered quite a few casualties.

As we’re moving through the night, Lyle walked up to me and tugged at my sleeve.

"Mn? What is it?" I asked. Both Lyle and Eric didn’t call out to people much. Most of the time it would be us calling for them so I was a bit surprised that Lyle actually approached me.

[There’s someone nearby. They seem to be heavily wounded.] Lyle wrote out as I furrowed my brows.

"Are you able to lead me to where they are?" I asked as he nodded.

Getting Nitha to protect the group for now, I followed after Lyle as we ran through the night.

We ran for a short while and Lyle pushed past a few vines to reveal a small rock foundation that had a man in the centre. His entire body was bloodied and wounded but his eyes were filled with determination.

Seeing us to approach, he furrowed his brows and tried to stand up.

"We’re not going to harm you. Are you ok? What happened?" I asked while pulling out a healing potion.

The man in front of me was rather tall with short blond hair, green eyes and pointed ears, a known trait of elves.

"What world am I in? What’s the closest city?" The man asked with a frown.

I found his questions a little odd but I replied anyways.

"You’re on Earth and we’re not sure about the closest city since the world has changed a little."

Hearing the word Earth, he sat up in surprise.

"This is Earth? So there’s the Elven Continent and Miriel right?" He asked as I nodded.

"I’m back... I need to go warn her." The elf tried to stand up but collapsed again.

"Take it easy. We’ll bring you back to our group so you recover ok?" I sighed since I’ve seen people that were a little out of their minds after everything that’s happened.

Picking him up, I made my way back to the camp.

"So can you tell me your name?" I asked.

"Edvimar." Edvimar said after taking a few deep breaths.

"I’m Asher. Can you tell me why you were in that small rock formation?" I asked.

"That was a coincidence. I forced myself through a portal to escape the watchman. I need to go find my wife, she’s in a lot of danger right now. The new age has arrived and the veil between realms is weakened. The watchman can claim her soul once he finds her. I need to go warn her." Edvimar replied as I could sense mana coursing through his body in an attempt to increase his self-recovery but there was something hindering this.

"Do you know where your wife is? If not you might have to wait a long time before we can find out where we are in the world right now."

Hearing this, Edvimar furrowed his brows but nodded his head.

Bringing him back to the camp, we dressed his wounds which the healers found difficult to heal. Surprisingly, despite his heavily wounded body, NItha was very afraid of him. For Nitha, she only showed this reaction when we were against the dragon so I tried to inspect him to see his level.

Surprisingly, nothing appeared. No name, no level, no class. There wasn’t even question marks that showed he was much higher level than me. If anything, it was almost as if he was not registered by the system at all.
