Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 393 Expedition To The Frozen Region: Battle Plan

Queen Tanya's eyebrows furrowed while Queen Tori tilted her head in confusion. Almira's entrance and opening remarks are somewhat confusing for them.

"What do you mean we attack them? Isn't that very risky and dangerous? Aren't we just going to send our forces to their deaths in the end?" Queen Tanya looked at Almira with a questioning looked on her face.

"I know you all fear the enemies in the Frozen Region of Sandurk. Yes, they are a behemoth and they are not something you can just scoff about. However, I will also say that what I am saying is also what I am saying. If we can't form a good detour route before we clash with the monsters, our only goal is to eliminate the monster and move on."

Queen Tanya is starting to have a questionable look on her face and it is already shown that she is not convinced by Almira's words. In comparison, Queen Tori seems to be interested in what she was saying and listened carefully. It was a clear difference between the siblings who seem to be in favor of Almira's methods and those who are against it.

"Based on the description of the smallest monster spotted, it must be the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned. It is a level 654 behemoth turtle known for its defenses and ability to repel damages directed to it due to its shell that seems to be made from adamantium though no one can confirm if it was indeed made from that. I am also pretty sure that it can also reflect the damage back to the attacker if it wanted to do so. Can you tell me where is the exact location of that monster on this map?"

Queen Tanya looked at Queen Tori before the latter nodded. She snapped her fingers and two figures appeared behind her. I looked at them and I think those are the Ninjas that Queen Tori employed to be her personal bodyguards and personal messengers. To think that she had them as messengers instead of a normal soldier is something else.

"Reporting, the smallest spotted monster should be the first monster we will be meeting if we keep on going through the same route that was planned before the monsters were spotted."

"Wait. Before you go, is this monster in the form of a turtle?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. It is indeed in the shape of a giant turtle. It is not yet known for us whether what she said earlier was true about the monster but we can vouch that it was indeed a turtle behemoth."

After giving the report, the two ninjas faded like a glitch and disappeared again.

"Hearing that the monster is the first monster we will be meeting, we are in big luck."

"You have something in mind, Master?" I asked Almira.

"Sure do. If I am not confident about it, I won't even bother dabbling about it. And I am not a braggart. If I say I can do it, then I can do it without a problem."

Although Queen Tanya seems to be hesitant about what she was saying, she decided to agree, and seeing that her sister is not saying anything about it, she didn't object but she still had her qualms about it.

"If what you say is true, then what are we even supposed to do? Attacking that monster will exhaust all our resources and even with my sister, Bladeheart, his teammates, and my powers shouldn't be enough to deal with that monster. If what you are saying earlier is also true, this thing is also close to indestructible and with an ability to reflect back the attack back to its attacker is also something that worries me. What are we going to do about it?"

"That's where Bladeheart comes in."

I frowned and looked at Almira in confusion. Because even if I am strong, there is no way I can even solo that thing. That is pretty much out of my league and just by attacking it will kill me. There is no way she is going to say I will be facing off with the monster alone?

"With his ability as an adventurer, we will be sending Bladeheart straight first into the Frozen region and allow him to obtain a certain metal that can only be mined exclusively in the Frozen Region of Sandurk. I doubt Queen Tori has this metal in her possession despite being the local resident in that region."

"A metal that I don't possess that can only be mined exclusively on the Frozen Region? Are you perhaps..."

"Yes. I am talking about that. The Rodola Ore."

My mind clicked when I heard Rodola Ore. It is a common ore that appears in the Frozen Region of Sandurk. And I say it was common since it was the only ore that you can mine along if you mine iron ore. I may not be that too involved in the Frozen Region but that doesn't mean I don't recognize what a Rodola Ore is. It has very small uses and I don't even see it as a valuable item, to be honest. It was a trash ore and if I was given a choice to pick up between an ordinary rock and the Rodola Ore, I would definitely pick up the former as it has more uses compared to the Rodola Ore.

"Hey, just because you are a blacksmith, doesn't mean we are ignorant of what ores are. Rodola ore has almost no uses outside of being a poor whetstone! And you are telling us that is something my sister doesn't have? You must be out of your mind!" Queen Tanya seems to have gotten angry and pulls out her scythe in anger and puts it on Almira's neck.

"Hey, hey. Quit being hot-blooded, will you? I am not done explaining yet and you are already reacting like I already did something to jeopardize everything. Calm down and sit down like a QUEEN you are."

Almira then pushes the scythe of Queen Tanya and shoved her using it without giving much as she just did it with one finger on the scythe. I was quite certain she did that but it seems Almira seems to be not someone who wants to divulge on it further. Even Queen Tanya was surprised by it.

"Anyways, back to the topic. I know that the Rodola Ore is useless and even I would not even defend the uses of the Rodola Ore as this ore is big trash without any usage and it's not even comparable to an ordinary rock as it has more uses than this trash ore.. If...we are just talking about the common Rodola Ore."

"What do you mean common Rodola Ore? Are you saying there is more to the Rodola Ore than we know?" Queen Tori frowned.

"Pretty astute, Your Majesty. Now, all of the Rodola Ore mined are something called the Excess Ores. They seemed to be pretty common compared to rock when mining in the Frozen Region of Sandurk as 99% of your yield when mining would be this ore. However, I am not so quick to judge on what the Rodola ore is."

The Rodola Ore that is mined today is not the real Rodola Ore, it is just known as the excess Rodola Ore. It is easily mistaken as stone though it is not even comparable to it. So, if I say that it is not the real Rodola Ore, surely, you guys would realize it now right?"

"That there is a real ore right?" Queen Tanya looked at Almira with bored eyes.

"Heh, correct. And I am not talking like it is a myth. I will show you proof that it was real."

She pulls out her dimensional storage bag, which made Queen Tanya gaze at her with interest. Perhaps due to how rare someone can possess a dimensional storage bag. Perhaps the closest thing she can compare to the Dimensional Storage bag is the main inventory of a player since it functions just like that.

Almira then pulls out a small shard that seems to be glowing even though there are no lights coming from the place that would cause that much shine and glow. She places it in the middle of the table for us to inspect. Seeing that I can also inspect what it was, I checked out what the thing that she pulled out is.

[Alpha Rodola Ore Fragment]

Type: Item

Info: A small shard fragment from the Alpha Rodola Ore. It was a small piece that detached from the main ore of the Alpha Rodola. Despite being a small shard, it is something that would spark interest in all Blacksmiths. Due to how small it is, it cannot be used for creating weapons and items that cost more due to its size, but if used as a shard alone, it can work similarly well in creating superior accessories as it can even rival the polished  diamonds in the market and will grant the wearer of unbelievable raise in stats."

Then, Almira pick it up again and looked at the two curious queens.

"If you guys want to know why I have it, the answer is simple. Because I made something out of it before and seeing the results of creating something from it, I am quite sure that is all we just needed to take down this towering behemoth down."
