Chapter 86: Banner Adjustment
Chapter 86: Banner Adjustment
Aleron had teleport and unlimited Magilore, so he arrived at the location of Abyssal Kingdom within twenty minutes, unlike Yueha and others who spent an hour just to reach there due to the distance.
He contacted Yueha using the comm card as it fortunately worked here. He soon arrived at the huge garden behind the castle and saw that the group was meditating in a cross-legged position and recovering from various injuries they suffered in the recent battle against Abyss Monsters.
"It seems that this wasn't that easy," Aleron wryly smiled as he waved his hand, using the abundance of his Magilore and putting everyone inside a healing bubble each.
"Boss, we fought against seven Primeval-rank monsters. They were stronger than expected, haha. I almost died," Hua said with a laugh.
"You were reckless," Fang rolled his eyes.
"Don't any of you dare die, okay?" Aleron glared at everyone. "All of you must live for me." Everyone smiled.
"Mhmm, we won't die, Master," Mei said as she had a smile behind her mask that nobody could see, but her eyes showed it clearly.
"Master, we can't find any other path or area, so we are done with the exploration," Yueha grinned before her glance focused on other things, "but those seven whirlpools are still active and smell of trouble."
"I have a feeling this kingdom was destroyed because of those," Riki rubbed his chin.
"Oh?" Aleron looked at the seven whirlpools and sent his soul sense, but failed. It couldn't go past the darkness as if something was blocking it.
Enorin looked at the whirlpools and said, "We have to do something about those. I also feel that the destruction of this kingdom is related to those whirlpools based on some of the skeletons' aura I noticed."
"Alright, I'll do something about it. You all just focus on recovery," Aleron cracked his fingers and neck before his eyes glinted and he started comprehending the magical phenomenon of those seven black whirlpools.
Any and all magic-related phenomenon shall be comprehended should his curiosity pique!
'This is...darkness magic with ritualistic arcane syllabus and other new stuff,' Aleron's eyes shone as it was a new knowledge and he absorbed it hungrily, soon comprehending the mechanism behind the whirlpools after ten minutes.
During this, Yeuha and others also healed their injuries thanks to Aleron and also started recovering their energy as they no longer needed to spend it on healing themselves.
"So these whirlpools are connected to another dimension and from what I understood, these were created by this kingdom," Aleron thoughtfully said as he connected the dots from the formation of these whirlpool and their effect. "Most probably, this kingdom created these whirlpools for a purpose to benefit themselves, but ended up getting destroyed by them."
Everyone was surprised.
"Anyway, I will seal them for now since I can deactivate them," Aleron smiled and waved his hand, using Magilore and fiddling with all seven whirlpools as they started shrinking and turned into a stationary black circle with magic patterns.
Afterward, Aleron teleported everyone outside as they floated above the ruined city of the Abyssal Kingdom.
'I already have the mark on necropolis and coordinates. It should be possible,' Aleron internally nodded as he decided to initiate a long-distance teleport for the first time.
"Everyone, stay close in the circle," Aleron said before a 10-meter radius silver magic circle appeared below them. "We are returning home instantly."
...
After returning, Aleron looked at the loot the group gathered and was overjoyed. "Damn, these are resources that can increase stats of Exceed-rank!"
"I'm afraid we can't utilize these resources, my lord," Darzax wryly smiled. "We don't have alchemists capable of using these resources and turning them into pills."
"Oh..." Aleron rubbed his chin and grinned as he got an idea, "Don't worry. Keep them stored for now and use them if any of you need something from them. I'll get people who can use these resources later."
"Also, you all worked hard take rest or cultivate, up to you. This island and the surrounding islands are for our use."
Hua laughed and said, "Thanks, boss. I'll move to an Arcane vein then. It's time I awaken my soul and breakthrough to primeval rank."
"I shall also do that," Fang smiled.
"Go, go. I am not calling any of you until you reach the primeval rank," Aleron grinned and looked at Enorin, Darzax, and Riki, "You three as well."
"Not me, boss," Riki wryly smiled. "I just recently broke through to Exceed-rank, so I'll go and explore the other islands. They got better resources and magic spots."
"Alright, then you go with Yueha and Mei."
Yueha and Mei nodded. Only these two were at Primeval rank and could explore other islands without much trouble.
After everyone dispersed, Aleron went to the Beastfolk village and checked the situation there.
After talking with Lee and Ruan who were cultivating and also teaching cultivation to Beastfolks with aptitude, Aleron talked with the Beastfolks were learning magic.
'Alright, everything and everyone is good,' Aleron grinned. 'Gachapi, how long until 7 a.m?'
[Gachapi: Fifteen minutes.]
'Alright, I need to know a few things and get some new banners, so...' Aleron thought. 'Gachapi, remove the Lords of Arcane and Arsenal of Elemental Armaments banner.'

[Gachapi: Master, the banner that was generated yesterday has been finished. Should I add it
to the slot?]
'Wait, what does it do? I need to know that first because I already have a plan to use these three banner slots. Upon meeting Rias and talking about something I have in mind, two new Banners will generate for sure and I know what the third one I need.'
[Gachapi: this banner can give virtual reality devices of different types. Master, there's a
chance you might get a Virtual Reality device that can connect to a vast virtual network of some other universe. This can be very wonderful in its use.]
'Oh?' Aleron was surprised. 'Alright, pull up that banner. Once we get a virtual device of that
caliber, I can just delete it.'
[Gachapi: Exactly. Also, I have saved the banner imprints with the new function, so you can pull up Lords of Arcane and Arsenal of Exotic Armaments again. Same with this banner after
removing it.]
'Oh yeah, the Banner Adjustment function. Nice.'
After a second, Aleron got a system notification.
[Congratulations. A new banner has been created-Virtual Reality: Endless Prospects]
[Gachapi: I'll focus back on producing Xorg Serum now. Call me when needed, Master.]
'Alright.'
