Chapter 218 A Sudden Change Of Pace
"What do you want us to do now?" Elle spoke with a serious expression and I looked at her and the others before asking,
"Did Amon really go into isolation?"
She nodded as she spoke,"Amon went just a few hours ago and he was going to call you here, but as time passed and no one came so he left and asked me to pass you a note."
I observed her and nodded before speaking,"I would like you guys to help me out in any way you can. Information, knowledge, any skill that is specific to you… I want to learn that. I am sorry I am being a bit forceful here, but please understand. I would try to return the favour as soon as possible from now on, rather than leaving it to the future."
They looked at me with a smile on their faces as they spoke,"no… we would like to thank you instead. You kind of saved us and our families and we are really grateful for that. It is our desire to stay here and honestly, it is quite a comfortable place to stay, that too rent free. Since we are given the chance to repay you, we shall do whatever we can."
"Amon said to use everything you can. What we lack is time… we might not even have a speck of it… so be prepared… always," Elle spoke with a serious expression as she turned to the others before turning to me.
I smiled at them before looking at them with a serious expression as I spoke,"then I won't hold back."
From that point, I asked Elle to teach me everything she has learned or planned to learn… not just her, but also everyone else there.
Since I didn't have enough time, I used all I could, learnt all I could in the dimension in that time period.
With the lack of mana, I probably won't be able to use it freely in the outside world, but if I could recreate it and enhance it using whatever I possess in my arsenal, maybe I could get something out of it.
First it was Elle, and then later came others, one by one. There were combat skills, knowledge about skills and some of the people had also told about peculiar dreams, which I listened to very intently.
There were also non-combat skills, which I learnt as well, cause I wanted to take in everything I could. It had been a while, but this time I stayed in White Dimension for quite a long time…
About a year or so, I still kept my mind intact, as I had grueling work to do in the outside world as well.
After a year or so, I had a myriad of skills that were recreated in order to be used by me and from this point onwards, every time I enter the White Dimension, I must make sure to learn something new.
I also checked my two other fragments and made sure I know how to use them. Honestly, they were nothing to scoff at.
Breath fragment allowed me to breathe in any condition while Blaze allowed me to burn down almost anything and everything… including fire itself.
I called Aelia Scarlet in the White Dimension as well, to learn from her and teach her my own tricks.
At the end, when I felt like I had nothing more to learn, I moved out of the White dimension as I bid farewell to everyone there.
…
"So, why did you call us here?" Amelia asked as she observed me, and I turned at her before turning at everyone present in the room.
"Before I tell you anything, it would be better to gather some place where there is a lot of space," I muttered and Amelia used her magic to move all of us, at once towards an empty green land where there was only grass as far as one can see.
"You are in my private dimension of sorts… so is this fine?" Amelia spoke as she turned at me and I looked at her dumbfoundedly before speaking,"yeah… this is perfect."
I then turned to look at everyone who was there.
Lucy, Lucas, Adara, Annabeth, Elizabeth, Eliza, Christine, Amelia, Bernette, Hera, Linda and Irene. There was also a screen showing Mark observing me with a serious expression.
"I think almost everyone here knows about the upcoming dangers of the Parasites, don't you?" I spoke as I observed them, and they nodded at me. Half of them had seen things with their own two eyes while the others had been informed about it.
"Well… Honestly, I thought that they would be coming in 5-6 years at worst, but my intelligence has told me that… There is a change of plans. The Parasites are coming here directly and that means that they could arrive any moment… an entire army of what you saw a glimpse of at Iredale Castle," I spoke as I made a slight firm expression and everyone looked at me with a slightly terrified gaze before Mark and Amelia asked simultaneously,
"Do you have a plan?"
And I pondered a little before speaking,"I had a plan before, now I am just rushing it here. Nothing really changed for me but the things I was supposed to do over ten years, I need to finish it within a year… that too, hoping that the Parasites don't strike immediately."
Mark closed his eyes for a few seconds before looking at everyone around the area before speaking.
"I am assuming that you have a task for us all? What can we do to help you?"
Amelia and a few others looked at the interaction between me and Mark with a surprised expression before they turned at me and I spoke.
"Yeah… I called you here for that purpose exactly. I don't think I can do this all by myself anymore, so I will be needing your help."
'Honestly, it is more of a risk to actually let others do my work cause if we lack in any of the areas, we might end up losing more than we can save… I need to plan this very very carefully,' I thought as I began moving towards Amelia.
