Master Of None

To say that the angels were pushed in to disarray by this didn't even sum up a little of what was going on. Seran had rushed to report things and so did the healers and life mages from the Fel empire. Even though they all had their more specific reason for being there, they also had their duties to the empires they served.

Seran had told the archangels about what had happened. None had liked it much and the information had already been passed on. The Rize empire was slightly shocked to hear that they might have something safe in the mountains now.

Unfortunately, the information had spread like wildfire as soon as the earth wyverns had been recognized as a race. Some of the less knowledgeable angels in the Rize empire believed that this was the start of a different war. A racial war where they would be fighting a race of monsters that wanted them all dead for food and territory.

Others knew that something was happening with Genesis. They knew that Genesis had taken the lead fully without enough influence from the archangels at all. This made them very unhappy because they would have preferred that the wyverns were gone forever. Having another race made things complicated.

Unfortunately, these thoughts had already been stomped out when the archangels and their superiors heard that the earth dragon Terron would be staying to lead the earth wyvern race. That alone was enough to hold off. Every single angel with strength had heard of the power that a single dragon had. It was why the reaction against Genesis had not been a battle. It had been to create a working relationship with them.

Furthermore, the thought that the earth wyverns might be brought over to their side also bloomed. The thoughts of having their enemies somehow controlled by a dragon that could send them to war for them was very tempting. Those that raised this potential were given a lot of face in their meetings.

One thing that didn't sit well with anyone was the fact that Genesis was immediately leaving to help the Fel empire. This meant that the Fel empire could take away the thing that the Rize empire had already grown with the Genesis people. Unfortunately, there was nothing the Rize empire could figure out.

The shocking addition that the dragons of Genesis had worked to save the wyvern queen hit even harder. The fact that some demon had come and let loose a monster that could have killed the powerful wyvern queen they had been unable to hint so far made things worse. This demon had control of lord slimes that could easily rival their top warriors. That could destroy their prized floating city. The gem of each empire.

If the lord slimes escaped on to their well protected floating city, the elemental halls, knowledge of generations, and many of their race would be destroyed. It was the core safe haven for the Rize empire overall. Losing it was the same as losing everything in the eyes of the Rize empire top angels.

The Fel empire was slightly different. There was a massive halt in research. Not because they wanted to stop, but because they were receiving the detailed reports of things they could not understand. Dragons were barely recorded in their research, the skills and systems that Genesis used were also not recorded anywhere also. Add in the mystery that was Walker and how he could use skills of other races and even some monsters. Well, that brought even the most reclusive researchers out.

They had also received the report that lord slimes had appeared. Some of the Fel empire knew about this monster. What place in the world had not seen a slime of some form? They were just too common for the Fel empire not to know of them. Yet someone who could breed them in to such powerful monsters that did what they desired of the lord slimes? Impossible.

Becoming a tamer was a research field that some of the Fel empire angels focused on. The specific reasons usually related to skills that would alter the tamer's body or the way they acted through the binds of the tamer and their tamed monster. Specifically the sharing of blood and spirit. A mystery that caused many researchers to feel lost for words over and over.

It truly made them wonder what was going on with demons that had come to their continent. Especially since they had somehow managed to steal away a wyvern body and body parts from a wyvern burial in the mountains of the Rize empire. It made them laugh that the Rize empire had lost something, but that wasn't it.

Every single member of the Fel empire that mattered knew exactly the sanger in their core deserts. The undead that were being held back but could not be killed. If a powerful monster joined them, that would be a ridiculous tragedy that could deem all their research useless.

Along with this, the Fel empire understood that this Genesis alliance had been damaged to help a monster become a race. Something that seemed too impossible. Too hard to manage. Yet, they were hearing that this had been done more than once. Shocking, dramatic, and just impossible. The archangels for the Fel empire had shouted out with this over and over since they had no data to support this being possible. No matter what manas they had studied. They were at a loss.

On the exact flip side of the two empires, Genesis was rejoicing. They had seen the world announcement and they had also received some reports using communication crystals. None of them had wondered if they would hear of failure from the ships that had sailed. It had actually been a great talking point.

For some of the authors, storytellers, and more creative people, this was a great chance. They all had begun to fashion stories and arts that depicted what might have been going on while the ships were away. Those who had actually heard of reports were able to create grand tales compared to the imagination of others.

Those that had been unable to take the journey had been glad to hear of the current success. They had also begun to worry since they were sure that trouble would be around every corner in the ocean. Not that they believed anyone that left would fail to make it back. They knew that the heroes that represented genesis would come out of this using their greatest strength to ensure that everyone would remain safe.

The faith that was kept was great, but that didn't stop family like Lisa from using everything she heard as inspiration. Her clothing business had birth in to an even busier time as the season had changed again. She had been making more and more that she had expanded from just one shop to multiple. Seamstress had come from many different kingdoms to learn and work with her. The lure of rune sewn clothing was enough for them. But the rumors that she was making rune pattern clothing as well was something larger.

The research of runes was giving birth to new system users. Rune cravers became more prevalent since they had a place to study now. This brought in the rune carpenters. Rune stitchers, and even a rune swordsman from the lands. They had not had homes or just been travelers, but genesis was not a hub for the rune research of the continent.

There were two continents in dramatically different emotional states. Whether it was good or bad, it didn't matter. Problems had been solved, things were growing, and the heroes were on the hunt for evil. What else would the people of the world want to hear?

Meanwhile, the party was back preparing to leave again. Their minds could not bother to care for the states of the places around them. They trusted everyone in Genesis to maintain its safety and prosperity. They knew that the Rize empire might try and halt them, but they would handle that when they saw it. They had to stop the undead in the south before things got worse and the entire Sigil continent was a victim.

The Fel empire would surely hold many temptations. Walker already steeled himself against this. He could stay there and research unique manas for years and still not be satisfied. That was a fact. But if he stopped, he would miss the criminals he pursued and the dangers he promised to save the angels from. That would be a crime of its own.

"Are you certain you want to carry everyone? All of you?" Walker saw that all the royal dragons were certain that they would carry along every soldier possible. They were truly angry at this slime Breeder. They could ignore some distaste for carrying others so that they could capture this villain. Seeing the nods from the dragons, Walker nodded as well. They would be off in the air shortly.
