Chapter 174: Back to normal.

Azkelwart could warp himself directly to the wine cellar with just a thought, but he decided to exercise his body.

"Also, that kid with the space element is quite interesting. Not only did he prove to be quite strong and resourceful for someone his level, he knew about void shift meaning there is a chance that Zultra thought him that." Azkelwart scanned through his wine collection.

After he had grabbed a bottle of Starfire wine, he warped himself to the living room and began sipping the wine.

"Perks of never dying, you get to drink quality wine." Azkelwart said as he poured in the last bits of the azure blue liquid into his wine glass.

"Alright, it's time to visit the dwarves and get you a new core." After he was done with the wine, Azkelwart appeared in the white room.

"Your core wouldn't be able to make the trip, so let's use the other option." Azkelwart made the codex float towards him until it entered into his body causing his eyes to glow with a white and darkish red light.

"Activate the dark matter crystals."

Immediately he gave out the command, in a room housing hundreds of pitch-black crystals that the trio had seen. The dark matter crystals instantly changed from black to white and all the energy they had been gathering for centuries began flowing out but in greater quantity.

Without any turbulence or vibration, the base teleported out of the large concealed space it was and into the void.

"They are safe now." Zirrack reported to Walden.

"That was quicker than I expected. Alright, I will bring them in right now." Immediately Walden said those words, the triangular artifact hanging on his neck emitted a green glow and a spatial gate appeared right in front of them.

"As for your report, it can wait till you get back from your vacation." Walden said as he stepped out of the spatial gate.

"Then that means I am off." Not wasting any second, darkish purple flames engulfed Zirrack before he took off.

'That beast goes on vacation?' The trio stared at Zirrack's figure in disbelief because they never thought he knew anything related to fun.

"Trust me his vacation isn't what you think it is." Walden couldn't help but comment when he saw the look on their faces, but they didn't seem to have understood him.

"I am Walden the guild master of the association's branch in Calton city, nice to meet you guys." Walden introduced himself with a welcoming smile.

"I am Zero, this is Hades and Grock, nice to meet you too." The trio slightly bowed to show respect.

"I have heard a lot of you guys, especially you Mr. Zero." Guild master Walden said with an impressed smile on his face.

"I am here to take you guys back to the association. So, if you may?"  Walden gestured for them to walk into the spatial gate.

'That artifact must really be powerful to warp us despite the amount of distance.' Blake made a mental note as he looked out the full glass window in the office and saw that they were back in Calton city.

"Alright, you guys should go freshen up and have some rest. Later we will have a little chat about what happened." At that moment Susan walked into the office.

"Guild Master, you called for me?" Susan was stunned when she entered the office and saw Blake's group.

'Right on time as always. Please see them to their rooms and inform the field agents to disable the containment barrier." Walden sat down on his chair.

"Yes sir." Susan Bowed and led the trio out of the office.

Immediately they were out of hearing range, Susan stopped and turned to them.

"So happy that you guys are back safely… Sorry I've got something in my eyes." Susan said while trying to cover up her teary eyes.

Amongst the few who were worried about them, Susan was right behind Tessie.

Although they hadn't had much time together, the trio was one of the very few adventurers that treated her nicely not because they wanted something from her but because they were naturally good people.

Also, due to Infinite realm's tipping system being close to non-existent, because of the poverty level of commoners and feel of superiority from the noble.

Susan found their act of tipping very generous and very grateful for that because they had gone a long way in solving a lot of her problems.

"It's good to know that someone has us on the back of their mind. Thanks a lot." Blake's words made her eyes even tearier.

'Not to ruin the moment but, I am tired and I need a shower!' Brian said using their mind link, but he only got glares from Blake and Castiel.

"Sorry for the delay." Realizing how unprofessional she was acting, Susan quickly got herself together and led them to their rooms.

When they got to their doors, Susan remembered about the role the Winchester family had played in their return and informed them.

'So tired that I totally forgot about her, but first let's get rid of this reeking smell and have a nice meal.' After thanking Susan, they all went straight to the bathtub.

After close to an hour the trio met up and headed for the canteen.

"Finally I can eat as much as I want!" Blake rubbed his palms as a bowl of beef noodle stir fry appeared on the table.

"Thank the heavens that we didn't end up eating the meat because I don't think I would enjoy food anymore." Brian let out a sigh of relief when he thought about how close he was to ruining his taste palette and psyche.

[If you didn't see how the meat was gotten you would have eaten it anyway. So why complaining?] The system shook its head.

"Exactly. If human meat was grilled and seasoned, everyone will enjoy it until they were informed of its origin." Blake said. "An example can be the meat we are eating, as long as we aren't in the kitchen their chances we are eating humans."

"Dude we are trying to eat here!" Brian and Castiel couldn't imagine how Blake was able to eat with those thoughts in his head.
