Chapter 614: Meeting the Chieftain
614 Meeting the Chieftain
Just like how Nicole finished her job in persuading the successor, Alex also had concluded his conversation with the spirits.
The morning should have arrived, and he needed to finish his job as soon as possible. He recalled everyone back and asked Nelson, "You can inform him that we will move out right now. It"s been a few hours after all."
"Understood." Nelson nodded and disappeared, leaving Alex alone in the room.
Alex snapped his finger and created a teleportation array in the room. In the blink of an eye, Alex was already outside of the mine, heading toward the portal with his Teleportation Array.
On the way, Nelson informed him that he had informed Zekhram, but Alex wanted him to hold on, so he could summon him when they arrived at the portal.
After another few minutes, Alex arrived in front of the translucent barrier. He looked at the huge tree within the barrier and furrowed his eyebrows.
"I still need to open the portal in the Blue Colored Realm…" Alex sighed as he entered the barrier.
"Summon!"
The ten spirits appeared beside him, watching him walk toward the tree. Alex waved his hand and began channeling his Spiritual Energy inside the array.
The tree started s.h.i.+ning brightly, revealing symbol after symbol that had been planted in this tree a few thousand years ago.
After the entire glowed, right on where he came in, the tree"s body appeared a blue-colored gate with a size five people. Alex thought about it for a moment and returned to his spirits.
"I have opened the barrier in this world, just one more in the Blue-Colored Realm," Alex said nonchalantly.
"Yes. Thank you for the effort, Alex." Anna smiled.
"By the way, keep looking out of the Black Devil Sect. Don"t let them power up too much." Alex warned.
"Don"t worry. Even with the Blood Pill, their peak will only be at 5-Star or 6-Star because this is the limit of this continent. I don"t believe they can reach 7-Star, or even if they do, they are still not a match with our Leoz." Anya a.s.sured him.
"Oh, I will be relying on you then, Leoz." Alex smiled.
The spirits chuckled, seeing how Alex was planning to tease him. However, Leoz only said, "Please, don"t put too much trust on me, Young Master."
After saying goodbye, all of them entered the portal to the Blue-Colored realm, where Alex used his Spatial Gate to open the portal to the outside world.
"Take care." Alex smiled and waved his hand as the portal gradually shrank.
Anna and the others clasped their hands and bowed to him one last time until the portal closed.
Alex looked at Nelson, who was standing beside him and said, "I suppose… We can go to the Undying King again."
"Yeah. We should go there and seek his help to delegate the matter with the third race." Nelson nodded.
In a matter of a few minutes, they arrived once again in front of the wall where the Undead Race lived. Alex knew the Undying King should have predicted this, so he took out the hammer, and a hole appeared right on the barrier.
As expected from the Undying King, he noticed that someone intruded his barrier and created a portal to his palace.
"Welcome again. As expected of a s.p.a.ce Element user, the Teleportation Array can let you travel back and forth in an instant. If only I had your Array instead of my rune, I could do it as well." The Undying King greeted him as if he expected him to come around this time.
"You are not very surprised… You already know I will be sent back to this place, right?" Alex narrowed his eyes.
"I have indeed expected it. However, I believe all of this starts making sense to you after knowing we are not from this world, right? Especially after seeing our s.h.i.+p." The Undying King said with a pacifying tone.
"Yeah. They are... Though the s.h.i.+p is different from my expectations." Alex nodded, sighing about the fact that the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p didn"t have any modern concept inside as it was just a vessel to carry people.
"I don"t know about your expectations. But if you are talking about how we actually move the s.h.i.+p, we need to start it with the Dwarven Golden Key, Undead"s Blood Gem, and Beastman Blood. After that, the s.h.i.+p could be controlled by utilizing the Blood Gem." The Undying King explained, not knowing about Alex"s expectation. After all, even he wouldn"t realize that Alex actually came from Earth, not stemmed from this world.
"Nah. That"s not what I mean… But nevermind... it"s just a stupid comparison of mine." Alex shook his head.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah." Alex nodded before his expression turned serious as he looked at the Undying King. "What I actually want is the answer to my problem. With how I need to go to another territory because of you, you must have the solution ready, right?"
"Of course. I will accompany you there myself and talk about it with the Chieftain." Atlas nodded.
A trace of surprise appeared on Alex"s face. He thought Atlas would give him another item to make their meeting easier. He had once expected this, but it was still shocking when this choice actually came out.
"If you are going there yourself, then I have no qualms. In fact, I will be a.s.sured." Alex nodded humbly.
"Yes." Atlas thought for a moment before asking, "When do you want to go?"
"I want to finish it as soon as possible," Alex replied.
"I understand. I don"t need any preparation, so we can go there." Atlas nodded.
"But how do we get there?" Alex asked. "I know a little about the rune, but it can"t teleport you like an array, right?"
"Indeed. Rune itself can"t teleport us because it has a different concept. However, this place has long become my turf." The Undying chuckled. "Unlike the Array, the Teleportation Rune can cover a hundred times the teleportation array in the same rank. Due to its monstrosity, they also have a weakness.
"The rune can"t teleport without placing another rune on the other end. But in these few thousand years, I have planted as many as possible, so it"s easy to cross this entire s.p.a.ce with single teleportation."
Without waiting for Alex"s reply, the Undying King waved his hands before a portal appeared right in front of him.
"Let"s go." The Undying King stretched his hand, asking Alex to come inside the portal.
Alex nodded and entered together with Atlas while Nelson followed him from behind like usual.
They arrived in a gra.s.sy plain.
Alex furrowed his eyebrows when he watched this scene. The tall green gra.s.s, the windy plain, and the bright sky… Just, it lacked the town and other things. Before going saying anything, he looked behind him and found a huge glowing stone.
The stone looked like a prism with blue lines on it. It floated a few centimeters in the air, appearing very mysterious.
He couldn"t help but ask, "Undying King, if I may ask, how does this rune work?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, Array has an Array Plate, right? I wonder…" Alex paused for a moment, but before he could continue, Atlas already knew his intention.
"Hoho… Do you want to have something like this?" Atlas smiled. "Yeah. If I truly use my everything to create the pinnacle Rank 8 Teleportation Rune, you can teleport from this continent to the other continent with a single rune. As long as the other place has this stone. In other words, if I actually make five of these stones, you are able to travel back and forth among the five continents."
Alex stared at him in silence. He wasn"t surprised by the fact he knew about the continent. At first glance, these three races looked like they were stranded here and couldn"t fight back.
However, the people in this continent shouldn"t be able to beat them into submission or even make such a huge array.
There was only one possibility that would lead to such a situation. They crashed on the Heavenly Continent, and with how different they were, the influences there attacked them.
These three races didn"t like to fight to begin with, so they were pushed back to this continent. Seeing the name of the sealer, which would likely be one of the Blackwade Clan"s members, it was easy to see that they pursued them to this continent and decided to seal them because of how dangerous they were.
In the end, they managed to end the war without many casualties and ruckus. It is also why the people in this continent only knew this was a cursed forest.
When Alex thought about this, Atlas actually offered something amazing. "If I use all of my energy, I can make a stone like this in a month. So, as long as you are staying inside this realm for five months, I can give all of you. Treat this as compensation for making you go back and forth."
Alex"s body shook with that generous offer and the word" compensation." Since this was a compensation, he had no reason to refuse. He already promised them to break the array anyway, so any bonuses he would get was always welcome.
"Then, I need to thank the Undying King for his generosity." Alex thanked him politely. Although he misunderstood his intention in having the stone, it was alright since he could get more than he needed it for.
Alex wanted to use this stone, so he could go to Rose if needed as long as he was on the continent. This would only cost them two stones, and the other three could be used in another way.
"Hoho… It"s fine." Just like Zekhram, he also remembered Teodross"s words. He wanted Alex to go here for two reasons. The first would be to allow him to befriend all three races. The second reason was to check something inside him. He looked at Alex mysteriously and thought, "If he is really the one, he should have that…"
The only way to confirm it was to have the Chieftain check it, whether it was genuine or not.
"Let"s go." Atlas pointed his finger toward the wet. "They are in this direction, only a few minutes away. You will find their city if you fly over a minute."
Alex nodded and flew to the sky. As Atlas said, he could see a town on the horizon. However, the town itself had no gate or wall. It is completely like a tribal group with their tents and other things.
Because of the distance, he couldn"t see it clearly, so he waited for a few minutes before observing the city.
The tent itself had a brown and yellow color, but there was this glaring black sun in every tent. Alex thought it must be a symbol or something.
"Please wait behind me first," Atlas said, interrupting his thought.
Although he didn"t know what it was for, he still went behind him, hiding from the beastmen. Atlas then released his aura and swept everything in front of him before taking out his staff and pointing it to the sky.
A green light flashed on his wand before shooting out a powerful green light to the sky. The black cloud in the sky slowly blasted away before they gathered again and circled around the green light. On the other hand, the original green flash in the sky shone brightly.
"Chieftain, I have come!" Atlas roared. His appearance was majestic from Alex"s point of view.
Not long after, a shadow appeared and crashed to the ground in front of him. The shadow slowly transformed into a lion that could stand on two feet. Even its body was very muscular like a human.
"Why do you always make such an entrance every time you come here?" The lion let out a long sigh.
