329 Breaking the Barrier
'Thud'
With a loud sound, both Ajax and the masked birdman fell into a dark room.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
"Ouch," Ajax rubbed his head as he looked at his surroundings which had barely enough light to look a few meters around him.
In front of him, the masked birdman also stood up and checked his surroundings with a flame in his hands and immediately bowed before saying, "Grand Elder, what are you doing here?"
Ajax looked in the masked birdman's direction and noticed there were a group of old and middle-age birdmen sitting cross-legged.
"Huh? What are you doing here, Captain of the 15 crows?" The old man at the front stood up from the ground as he replied to the masked birdman with a question.
"I came to kill that damn tribe leader of ours," the masked birdman gritted his teeth as he said to the Grand Elder of the fire crow tribe.
"Did he come back to the tribe?" a middle-aged birdman beside the Grand Elder, hurriedly asked with an anxious voice.
"Yes, I think his body is destroyed in the fight with the Hawk tribe leader and but his spirit might be hiding in this house since the barrier around the tribe leader's house is still intact," The masked birdman looked at the elder, who asked the question and briefly explained the events that had happened in the Hawk tribe.
"Then we might have a chance to break this barrier that is blocking us from going out," the Grand Elder looked excited after hearing the masked birdman's words and immediately took out a rhombus-shaped wooden token that had weird markings.
After hearing the Grand Elder's words, the masked birdman didn't ask any questions as he was able to understand why all the elders and grand elders were struck here and looked at the wooden token in the Grand Elder's hands.
"Every one, take out your tokens," The Grand Elder closed his eyes before ordering the other tribe members around him.
Soon, every elder and even the masked birdman took out a similar-looking token from his space ring.
"Transfer all your energy into the token before transmitting that energy towards my wooden token, when I ask you. Do you understand?" The Grand Elder's voice sounded very serious making all those present in the dark room shudder.
"Yes, Grand Elder," Except for Ajax, everyone nodded their head and followed the Grand Elder's words.
'Woah, looks like something is going to happen here,' Ajax's interest in their actions increased and expectantly looked at them.
Since the host went through great trouble for a 'B' danger rating mission, the system can give three time periods to stay in the five elemental world. Please select one of them.
A single day.
Five days
Ten days.
'Huh? Interesting...interesting,' Ajax nodded his head for such a considerate system.
After thinking for a moment he said, "System, I choose to stay 10 days here."
The reason he chose that ten even though he wanted to return back to the human world was that he remembered the previous mission reward about becoming a rank 4 alchemy master with the system help.
So, he decided to stay in the five elemental world, since the alchemy ingredients in the five elemental world were easier to get than the human world.
'Ding,
The host's stay in the five elemental world has extended to 10 days.
Note:- The host can not leave the five elemental world in these 10 days.
'Okay, I am only staying an extra 10 hours. So there is nothing to worry,' Ajax thought and calculated that total time he was staying in the five elemental world with the human world.
Even though it's been two days in the five elemental world, only two hours have passed in the human world and even with the additional ten-day stay in the five elemental world, Ajax would be away from Captain Edmond for only 12 hours.
So, Ajax was not worried and decided to stay in the five elemental world.
'I can leave the five elemental world with rank 4 alchemy master's knowledge...Haha'
Just thinking about his alchemy master's rank made Ajax satisfied and made him laugh.
He soon suppressed his happiness inside his heart and followed the elders towards the door.
However, just before they opened the door, the door opened itself and a black silhouette entered the room and said in a low ghost voice, "Hello, my dear elders. Where do you think you are going?"
