After the captain got out of the shower ... the two walked out of the house ... that was after eating breakfast ...
they then took out the big mammoth with them ...
when they arrived before the doors of the mansion ...
they opened immediately ...
they then walked in with numerous eyes on them ... or rather ... the captain ...
perhaps she was even more beautiful than before so they started getting jealous ..?? that's why ..??
Theo thought it over ... and smiled feeling proud of his captain ...
'Look away .. you ugly beasts .. this is my flawless beautiful captain ... look away lest you lose your eyes ..' he snickered inwardly ...
ignoring the looks the Disciples gave them ... the two went on before the leader and greeted him respectively ...
Of course ... Theo stood while the captain bowed ...
the leader nodded in response .. before motioning for them to talk the matters they came with
.
the captain stood up ... and glanced at Theo before nodding with a smile .. "Oh .. uhm ... Great Leader of the Ice Village ... we have come upon an obstacle .. that needs your attention ..." the leader looked at her and smiled lightly ..
"Oh and that is ..??" he inquired ..
"It's about the wall ... I was wondering ... about its creation ... we can use the emblems ... but they're too small in quantity .. and I don't think it's possible for us to build a wall surrounding the entirety of the village with such a small amount .. and aside from that .. how are we going to build it ... " the leader sighed ... and closed his eyes gathering his thoughts ..
"I honestly do not know myself ... I'm not a genius .. perhaps that crazy man .. has something that can be of use to you ..." Theo's body stiffened ...
he turned to look at the leader and sighed in defeat ... "Sorry to interrupt .. but I don't think that guy will accept another bargain .. especially if it's coming from me ... " the leader nodded as he stroked his white hair ..
"That is true ... he doesn't even trust me with his experiments despite me being the leader .. so he's a hard nut to crack ... maybe we can find another way around this ..." the captain nodded at him ... and started thinking about the wall and its creation ....
although their mission stated that .. they needed to build a wall to protect the villagers from the creatures ..
it didn't really reveal any specific details .. like how ...
instructions .. and materials ...
the official officers in the higher ranks .. were the ones who gave out missions .. so it wasn't possible to contact them about the matter ... even if they did manage to contact them ... their mission would be considered a failed mission because of involving them ...
also ... the two didn't even know how big the village was ... the whole thing was a mystery ..
the giant towers behind the mansion simply blocked their sight ...
and even if there weren't any .. they doubted it was easy to see the end of it ...
an idea to creep out of their heads for something of this calibre was simply 20% possible ...
and despite thier efforts .. it would still be stupid for them to have an idea of how to build a wall .. that big .. that tall .. with a great width ... so great .!!..
they needed to know at least it's size and where they would build the wall ...
these were the kind soft problems the village's were going to face .. after the wall's creation ..
things like hunting for food ... collecting minerals and things they were going to need in the village ...
the walk would restrict them from going outside ..
when contemplating about the whole thing .. Theo suddenly opened his eyes in curiosity .. "Hmm ... leader tell me something .. how big is your 'village' ... "
the leader looked at him with a dumbfounded expression ...
"Eh ..???" he subconsciously muttered ... causing all eyes to land on him ...
"Didn't you use your energy to search for its end ..??" he asked with an amused smiled as he looked at Theo ...
"No ... I thought that act .. was simply disrespective ... " Theo answered .. trying to find the meaning behind his words ..
"Hehe ... despite being so arrogant ... you're respective yet in a very weird way ..." the leader said suddenly ...
he then stood up and a black frost cane appeared under his right hand ...
his back though stood straight .. and his youthful face smiled .. showing no signs of aging ...
he then turned his back on them as he tapped his cane on the frost floor lightly
..
"Tell me ... have the trials passed ..??" he suddenly asked turning to look at the captain ...
the latter nodded .. and suddenly understood ..
"Hehe ... it seems like you arrived late young man ... " after he said that ... the mansion disappeared along with the Disciples ..
Theo looked behind him and frowned .. "Were they artificially created ... ??" he definitely sensed lifeforce inside of every person the village ... but there were countless unbelievable experts in the world capable of doing the impossible ..
"No ... they're all real ... the clothes .. the houses ... all real ... but the village isn't ... and at the same time it is .." Theo was confused as he stepped into a white space ... that blanketed them ..
he then glanced over at the captain and saw her nodding at him ...
a transmission message then went inside of his head and understood the gesture as he spread his senses ...
his eyes the revealed shock ..
"No way .. how big is that formation and that talisman ..." he asked ... the leader on the other side laughed .... as he swung his cane changing their space ... as they appeared high in the clouds ... above the ice village ..
and now he could finally see it ...
the village was weird ... he could clearly feel something like a life force in it .. and at the same time it felt like that it was just an illusion ...
when looking at it from above with normal eyes .. he could faintly see it's beginning but not it's end ...
that said .. what was confusing more was that .. the end itself felt unusual ... the term end .. was the precipice of something ... but the end he was looking at was weird ...
it was like looking at an endless void ... whilst seeing everything at the same time ..
everything in his eyes wasn't hidden .. even the end .. but he somehow couldn't understand .. a thing about the formation ..
the expert behind it ... was simply amazing ... the illusion was super real ...
it was like jumping ... into alternative realities .. with the same origin but a different end ...
a parallel universe .. without the parallel
points ...
the universe wasn't distant .. but close ...
"Can you at least see the end .. I mean .. you're the leader right .." Theo looked at him ..
the leader smiled and shook his head ... as a laugh escaped from his mouth ..
"It's simply impossible even for me to discover such a thing ... the only thing I can do best so far is finding a single checkpoint of the formation ... " he said ..
Theo looked at him an pondered .. "I've seen many formations before but this is definitely exaggerated ... the illusion can even influence my will ... that's an impressive feat .. the formation in the forests are stronger than my senses but I can certainly see past them .. yet I can't see past this one .. sigh ... so if a giant talisman .. and an enormous formations can split up into pieces of checkpoints .. we can't really provide an endless wall ... that's even more stupid when I say it .. " captain Rose looked at him as he pondered ..
"You know about formations ..??" she asked ... the latter then nodded ..
and then turned to look at her .. "Everything in this world is bound by formations .. well except for humans .. the forests ... terrains ... space rifts .. all of them are bound by formations ... but this one is otherworldly .. and I don't know how to really describe it .." he answered honestly ...
the captain nodded ..
Theo stood in silence for a while before snapping out of it all of a sudden ..
"Wait ... I'm thinking of something .. I don't think we need the end .. .. maybe if you lead me to this checkpoint I can try to figure out something ... " he said ... taking the leader and the captain by surprise ..
but they didn't dare not give him the look of disbelief because they knew that he was an unpredictable person ...
and after a few taps with his cane .. everything twisted and the view from above blurred as they appeared inside the mansion again ...
the leader then snapped his fingers .. instantly teleporting the three of them .. from the peering eyes of the Disciples ...
they then appeared in a wasteland ... the correct word .. wasn't wasteland though ... more like a plain .. filled with ice ...
it was like a flat Antartica ... the leader looked towards ... a towering ice tower in the distance and pointed at it ...
"That is the talisman I told you about ... I don't know .. what you're going to do .. but I trust you with this .." Theo nodded and flew at the tower ... with anticipation ...
when he got in close range ... he stopped in his tracks and looked back at the two dots .. in the distance ...
he then turned his gaze and looked upon a huge door ... which was the supposed entrance of the tower ...
after pushing the doors .. he went in .. and immediately after that .. strange formations erupted from the entrance ... in thin lines made up of magical energy ..
without wasting his time .. he ignored .. them and went on inside the tower ...
just like he predicted ... this tower's traps were too much ...
but luckily he managed to get through
after walking for an hour ... he walked up the staircase and above his eyes caught sight of a glowing alter in the middle of the platform ...
he walked up to it and analyzed it ...
after assimilating ... the talisman infront of him ... he readied himself and cast a powerful defensive will skill ...
his will was now combined with the earth element .. he conjured three special energy spheres ...
one red .. one brown .. and the last one was a glowing with a beautiful gold
...
red for his powerful will .. the brown one for the earth element .. and the golden sphere for the mysterious element ....
