Chapter 1782 1782. Talk In The Sky

The soldiers were quick to come around and revived their dust veil buffs. The ones that had experienced the pressure of the wind before knew the dangers of traveling so fast. The only ones that did not come were the dragonkin directly under Ventus. They were few in number but they were extremely resistant to the wind already.

The angels had not fully understood the degree of wind they would be put through. However, they saw the other soldiers and followed suit right away. Especially since the Fel empire mages wanted to experience the buff and learn more about it for their own reasons.

The moment that every single one of them had been buffed was the moment that the royal dragons began to get a little more forceful. They started to push everyone in to their spots with orders. The splitting of forces was not an issue, however, Mordant had made a point to take his dragonkin and the party. Not the anyone was unhappy with this. The only one that appeared a little annoyed was Midnight who wanted to fly herself. Unfortunately, she was not strong enough to keep up with them and fly for that long. Walker had also accepted this fact. He wouldn't be able to keep up either.

The sight of the royal dragons taking full form and carrying massive stone baskets with soldiers in them would forever be ingrained within the Rize empire angel's minds. They could see the power and strength that came with lifting massive stones and soldiers like it was nothing. Seran himself was mumbling about how good it was that the dragons had not used their full strength and followed the non aggressive approach. He understood that if they had been violent, that they would have taken over a massive area with battle.

"I made sure to have you all with me for a reason." Mordant was able to freely speak with the party while flying. Onyx was ensuring that they could all easily communicate mentally. It was very useful. It was hard to hear over the rush of wind. Luckily, Walker's dust veil buff was helping keep everyone free from any abrasive pressure due to wind.

Ventus was also using her skills to push them all faster. The added boost from wind was easily known as a slipstream skill. A very powerful wind skill that was often used by pack monsters of avian species. Walker had heard about it since the harpies used it to travel around. That was also why they were able to become the best mail carriers for the genesis alliance so quickly. They saved the mana that would be used on communication crystals. Especially since there were not many communication crystals that could be used many times.

"I thought you would have a reason to ask us all to get together, is it about the undead we are going to face?" Walker had a feeling that it would come up. A private conversation with just Mordant meant that he had some worries.

" Yes. about the dragon ruins as well." Mordant appeared to have thought this through but didn't want to leave this with the other royal dragons. "I believe that the ruins may be within this ancient civilization's ruins. That they may be combined or near one another." the idea had not just passed through the party's minds. They had also thought that this would be a possibility.

The idea that the dragon ruins had played a large part in deem of these events was clear. The only question is which ones? The earth wyverns had found the residual earth mana from the ancient earth dragons. Therefore, they had almost worshiped them and followed the strength they believed in. This had pushed them to be able to take on the greater strength to push themselves to their own species. That Was what the wyvern queen had done.

If this was the same as the wyverns, then the mummified worshippers that were in the desert were worshiping something powerful. A being that had used powerful skills to make itself in to whatever it was now. But if it used the dragon's knowledge of darkness then pushed in to death mana, that would make a lot more sense. The energy would be different, but it would be powerful.

The fearful thing for Mordant was that he may lose the darkness dominator ruins or even find that they were no more. That they had been destroyed or broken down in to something else. It could mean years and years of history and knowledge lost forever or at least shattered in to just pieces of what it should be.

If they were lucky, then the ruins might just be nearby and have had a small influence on everything. But that was nothing to bet on. There was also the chances that the light dominator dragon ruins were there or the sky dominator dragon's ruins were there. It was too up in the air to know for sure.

An expansive desert that could hold the underground darkness mana, the powerful and unyielding light mana, or the powerful wind mana that swept across the entire desert causing sandstorms. The only thing that everyone hoped was not there were the fire elemental ruins. If the flame dominator dragon ruins were there then the chance of using fire to burn away the undead would be gone. Flame resistances would make them much tougher to any light and fire fused flames the party and soldiers might use.

"If that's the case then Onyx will help you. Midnight can also go looking. They have the closest relationship with darkness mana. They might be able to sneak in to ruins and find things for you. A scouting team.' Gil's positive addition made Midnight and Onyx both a little surprised. Gil normally took on scouting but leaving it to them did make a lot of sense. It also showed his clear trust in them.

"I was also thinking that they would work independently from us. Their ability to hide away would be easier than I could use. They may enter and find things for us before the undead notice them. Only one is truly intelligent. They just have to avoid the leader." Mordant's plan for gaining information while everyone else held off the undead became very clear.

"I can work on making potions against them. If they live in the desert and look like that one, they are dried and worn out. Maybe a potion with fire and light affinity, well, an explosive fire and light potion will be useful. We can search for more herbs when we get close." Remey could only think of this other than wielding her light affinity knuckles for the battle. She would be able to do a lot with all of this.

"I can defend Remey while she uses these potions. Explosive potions may not be anything these soldiers are used to. Damages from our own attacks would be worthless while carving a path to any ruins or buildings in the desert." Su understood the dangers of this. Many potential risks were around while using these means.

"Good. I wanted the support to discover this as soon as possible. There are too many unknowns." Mordant lapsed in to silence while he thought more. The journey through the sky seemed full of unspoken stress even though many other things could have captured their attention.

While many of the soldiers felt better with the buff, the speed of traveling only increased. Ventus led the way and had memorized the maps she has been shown. Knowing where she was is a high priority since she could end up flying everyone to the wrong place. That would cause more issues than good with the situation only getting worse without their intervention.

For Walker, the wind had become a secondary thought. He was now focused on what they could find due to the dragon's ruins being part of the Fel empire's undead problem.

There was already the issue that the slime breeder had stolen powerful wyverns' bodies. Adding that to the immortal undead in the Fel empire and tension could only grow.

If the key to these undead was stolen and used by the demon king to bring about undead dragons and wyverns… problems would be too small a word for it.

Having the benefit of Mordant and Rise with them made things better. Control over darkness mana and light mana could help a lot. It could clear the sight of these death mana using monsters. The light could then purify them more easily without darkness interference. Two valuable tactics to use together.

While it sounded simple, this required the dragons to work together causing fusion attacks. That was the wall they would be overcome here. Challenging to say the least. Especially for those that butt heads more often than not.
