Chapter 402 Found Her



Thomas stopped the car beside the road. His heart was beating faster than when he was driving through the streets filled with madmen now that a lot of people gathering here.

They didn't look at them even though the car in which Thomas and Conrad were traveling was in a very clear place. It was as if they were in standby mode and wouldn't move before a command came.

"What is going on?" Thomas muttered a question filled with anxiety.

Conrad didn't answer, he stared at the people standing in front of Erend's house with eyes that were hard to describe.

He didn't look scared or worried like Thomas. Instead, he seemed clear about his goals and what he was going to do.

Conrad opened the door.

"Where are you going?" Thomas asked.

"Stay here," Conrad replied curtly.

He stepped toward the a dozen of people. They were completely oblivious to his presence.

'Their minds have been taken over.' thought Conrad.

Conrad spread his arms out to the sides. A moment later two swords of light appeared in his hands. Conrad could use his Magic as well as before he lost his power, it was as if he had never lost it in the first place.

Conrad knew that these people could no longer be saved. So the best way he could use to end their suffering was to kill them as quickly as possible. And before the creature controlling them decides to command them to move.

Conrad swung his light swords in swift and smooth motions. Heads and blood splashed in the air. Thomas gasped when he saw Conrad killing those people so easily.

"What is he doing?!" Thomas shouted in the car, then cursed with widened eyes.

Conrad had almost finished killing everyone before the remaining five suddenly turned to look at him. Their eyes were filled with swirling black mist.

'Shit! The creature has woken them up!' Conrad dashed towards the five people, trying to kill them as quickly as possible.

However, the five people turned out to be able to move very quickly. They dashed towards Conrad and took him by surprise but it wasn't enough to catch him off guard.

*SRAAT!*

*SRAAT!*

The swords slashed at high speed. But the results were not what Conrad had hoped for; the two people who were the targets of his slashes could block their heads with their hands so that Conrad's light blade could only hit their hands.n0veLuSb.c0M

Conrad cursed under his breath, then turned and once again swung his sword of light.

Saeldir looked outside and saw Conrad who was fighting with the people who had been possessed by the creature of the Chaos Realm. They had been aware of the whereabouts of those people earlier but chose to stay silent and wait because those people didn't do anything either.

"(His Magic power is back,)" Aerchon who was also peeking beside him said. He grimaced at Conrad and his jaw clenched.

"(We don't need to worry about that now. He seems intent on helping us,)" Saeldir replied.

"(I'm not sure if he'll still be of any help knowing you and Aurdis are here.)"

Saeldir fell silent. That's right. Conrad knew that he and Aurdis were the ones who dispelled the Magic. Saeldir didn't know what would happen if Conrad found out.

And now that his Magic power is back, maybe he will use it against them which will create another problem.

"(But I'm here now. Don't worry too much,)" Aerchon said again in a calm tone.

In the end, Aerchon's words made Saeldir feel calmer. At that time he was indeed able to win against Sealdir but not without injuries and difficulties. The thought that he would fight him again made Saeldir uneasy.

But with Aerchon here, and Aurdis not preoccupied with anything else, Conrad shouldn't be a big problem.

'Even so, I hope he won't decide to be hostile. It would be troublesome if that happened.'

They waited until Conrad had killed all those people. After that, Thomas was able to drive the car back and then stopped in front of Erend's house. Billy immediately opened the door.

"Come in," Billy said hurriedly.

After the two of them entered, Conrad and Thomas explained what happened on the way when they went there. Adrien and Billy sighed with grave expressions.

"We have to go and stop the president immediately. Or things will get worse," Conrad said.

"Before that, there are a few more things we need to explain to you guys," Adrien said as he glanced at the two of them. "There are several Elves who helped us for this event."

Conrad frowned while Thomas widened his eyes.

"Elves?! What the fuck?!" Thomas said.

"Calm down. They are here to help us." Adrien stretched his arms low toward them. "They didn't mean no harm."

Even so, Adrien looked at Conrad with wary eyes.

"They invaded us several years ago!" Thomas said, still looking scared.

"Where are they now?" Conrad asked in a calm tone.

Not long after he said that Aerchon, Aurdis, and Saeldir came down from the top floor.

Thomas let out a gasp and his whole body became tense. But Conrad looked more confused than scared or angry.

He looked at Aurdis and Saeldir with a frown that deepened. They both looked at him with anticipation.

Aerchon realized something when he saw Conrad's gaze. 'Did he really forget?'

The worst effect of losing Magic power is death or paralysis. But some beings who had their Magic power forcibly removed only suffered from amnesia.

The three of them had discussed the possibility earlier but since Conrad was a human from another world they were expecting a different effect than they had predicted.

It didn't take long for Aurdis and Saeldir to realize that too. They exchanged glances and Aurdis nodded optimistically.

"They are Elves who will help us. They are our friends so you don't need to be afraid," Adrien said.

Thomas of course still wary. he asked. "You met them in that other world?"

"Yeah," Adrien answered.

"How did you become friends?"

"Well, they're not as bad as you think. But that's not a big issue we should be getting into right now, is it?"

"You're right," Conrad replied. "If these Elves really want to help us, then we better work together well. Though I'm still not sure about this, this is our best chance."

"Good! At least we now agree on that," Billy said with a smile and a sigh of relief. He really hoped that there would be no sudden changes in this event.

Thomas, who saw that Conrad was able to accept this well, began to release the tension that filled him. Even so, Thomas was still eyeing the Elves and stealing glances at them. Her eyes showed both curiosity and fear. He never left Conrad's side while they were waiting.

They waited a while longer because Erend still had not given any news. Meanwhile, the clouds outside were getting thicker and blocking the sun more and more.

Erend followed Eccar with a pounding heart. They were now flying over the Chaos Realm and Erend could see several domains of other creatures inhabiting this cursed place.

The domain they lived in looked like a dome with a disgusting aura and mixed colors. They line up randomly with areas that also vary.

Eccar said it was based on how much power they had until now. He said that the domain was still expanding.

Erend wanted to ask about a few things but when he saw Eccar who seemed to be concentrating while looking ahead, he canceled his intention. He had to let Eccar find Arty and his Mom first now.

Earlier Erend had said that Arty and his Mom entered that dark space when they were still in Isadora's domain.

So they headed back to Isadora's domain where he could see the pink and black domes. Erend could also clearly see the disgusting shape of all that white slime.

"I can feel a different energy from Isadora's domain. You should be able to feel it too if you try harder than before."

So Erend tried that. Eccar is definitely far more adept at sensing that other energy than him, but Erend is already in contact with Arty so he should be able to do that much better.

And then he found it. Erend could detect Arty's weak energies, such as beacons calling him from within Isadora's domain.

They entered the domain easily because they were Dragonborn. Then the two of them darted as fast as they could to find Arty's location.

"Call her!" Eccar said.

Erend nodded then started concentrating on contacting Arty again. The business he needed became easier now, indicating that Arty's location was indeed getting closer.

'Where are you now?' Arty asked. There was panic in her voice despite her efforts to sound calm.

'I'm coming closer,' Erend replied.

Eccar suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Erend asked.

Erend's gaze was fixed on the place in front of them but there was nothing Erend could see. That only indicated one thing, Eccar had already found the place where Arty made her own domain.
