Chapter 797 The Nuclear Chaos

Chapter 797 The Nuclear Chaos

Tempo looked at Arad and the beaver. "A NICE PLACE. DO YOU LIVE HERE?" He shifted his attention to the beaver.

"Lower your voice down." Arad stood between the beaver and Tempo. "You'll scare him."

Tempo's eyes shifted toward Arad, "I AM SCREAMING?" He pulls a pill from his pocket and swallows it.

"How about now?" He coughed, rubbing his throat.

"That's much better. Is it a fault with your Shapeshift or polymorph?"

"That should be the case. We're loud by nature. The wizard who helped me get this body was an expert at shifting a body, but not changing voices. I have to contend with the pills made by an alchemist." He showed Arad the pill. "It numbs the vocal cords."

Arad took the pill from Tempo and stared at it. "Can I have this? I'll try to make one that last longer."

"You're free to try, but if you succeed, that's going to get our alchemist depressed." Tempo smiled. "Do your best."

Arad swallowed the pill; it wouldn't take effect if he didn't consume it. For now, it's simply stored in his stomach.

They then headed deeper into the swamp until they reached a part abandoned by people, a forgotten section of the swamp that was so muddy and filled with bugs that no human could hope to reach it. But after walking a bit behind the beaver it became clear that all of that was but a barrier to keep humans out.

The swamp cleared inside the barrier into a lush forest with countless small streams of water running across it. All the trees had bite marks and scratches; this was the beaver's territory.

"Do beavers use magic?" Tempo stared at Arad.

"Don't ask me. It's the first time I've seen one. But I doubt it."

"[Most monsters are born when the animals get soaked in the local mana. Some turn into vicious beasts and some gain a bit of intelligence.]"

The deeper they walked into the wet and luscious forest, the stranger the place started looking with chipped trees, dams, and even signs of a small village of beavers.

The beavers poked their heads out of the small dam houses and started at Arad and Tempo, it was unheard of to see humans in this place, but the chieftain had informed them that they might arrive soon so they weren't freaking out.

"Shiver me timber!" A muscular beaver wearing wooden armor and holding a sharpened stick rushed at them. "Flatail. You've brought two humans. I never believed you could do it."

"This druid is quite thick! He's strong." Flatail smiled and puffed his chest as his tail tapped the ground, "And this red-haired one is quite hot. He has fire!"

"The chieftain is waiting, let's hurry." The guard rushed away.

"Was that beaver wearing clothes? What did he say?" Tempo turned toward Arad with a confused face.

"Something about me being thick and you being hot, they also said something about how we need to reach their chieftain quickly." Arad replied.

The air slowly grew tenser.

"A man called Jordan had caught wind of the ley lines linked to the seal and managed to speak with the abomination. That horror gave the human power in exchange for him to help free him." The chieftain started coughing and the guards rushed to him with water. He's been talking too much for his old throat. But this was important; he needed to get it out before he died.

"Please fix the seal underground, and crush Jordan's plan or the world will crumble to pieces. Don't let people pray to Jordan and turn him into a real god, that's what the horror beneath wants he'll steal that power back and free all other abominations at once." The chieftain looked at Tempo and Arad.

"Who's stronger? The abomination or Jordan?" Arad asked.

"The abomination, even if Jordan is a demi-god now.He is nowhere near the abomination's power. Those horrors fought the gods. The easiest way is to fix the seal, go underground, and lock it back up. The underground colony is under attack."

"I'll check it out, but don't count on me. I don't want the world to end, but I'm certain the gods would smite Jordan and the abomination in the blink of an eye if they were to succeed." Even if he wasn't a believer in any god, he knew they wouldn't let the world end.

"What is your name, oh great dragon."

"Arad, Arad Orion."

The chieftain's eyes opened while he wheezed.... "AHHHHH! My timber!" He pushed on the chair with all of his might and fell down on his face, crawling toward Arad.

"What's happened to you?" Tempo and Arad gasped and the beavers rushed to help their chieftain, but they couldn't get him to move.

"Arad Orion, I never expected to live long enough to see you. O'oh! The mighty one above the stars, the nuclear chaos, How long have we awaited, it's been five thousand years, our dear one."

"Calm down!" Arad lifted the beaver chieftain with Gravity magic and laid him back on the chair. "What happened to you?"

The chieftain rolled back to bowing, he couldn't stand sitting while Arad stood. "May this lowly being ask of you but one thing? O'oh! Mighty one."

"What are you talking about? I'm just a dragon, strong but not deserving of being called a mighty one?" Arad was getting confused quickly, while Tempo kept a calm face, trying to decipher what the beaver was saying.

"Haven't awakened yet, I see, it can't be helped. Please seek your son, the greatest human of all, he'll be sure to guide you back to glory." The chieftain was shaking in place.

"I have a son?" Arad gasped. "Wait, that can't be true. You're mistaking me for someone."

"What a blessing this is... to be the one to see you first...

A....Oooooooooooooo." He fell silent.

"Chieftain!" The other beavers screamed and rushed toward him.

"Wait! Did you die?" Arad pulled a healing potion.

"No. He's just lost conciseness out of exhaustion. I doubt he moved in the past century." Tempo checked the chieftain and confirmed he was indeed alive.
