Chapter 261 Race to Jarkarr (final)
Fury sank deeper into his consciousness and the world around him went by in a blur, he was aware of arguments and even a short battle, but he did not care, his driver would take him to his destination, he trusted Nathis would ensure that would happen, before then, he began preparing himself, for although everyone knew Fury was all powerful, few knew that he was deeply meticulous.
The presence of multiple weapons or ability at the Origin was surprising, and the fact that the news of what was happening in Jarkarr would soon spread all over the planet made it important to make his move now before he was distracted by other parties. n--OVelb1n
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and disappeared from inside the carriage with a burst of bright nine colored flames, when he reappeared he was deep inside the Boreas Family household that was hundreds of miles from his blocked carriage, he had not just been waiting inside but was charting a course towards the Teleportation portal, it would have gone faster but there were hundreds of such portals inside the Boreas family mansion and it took a while for him to sift through them.
Fury stood before a flickering Teleportation Portal, ignoring the panicked screams resulting from his sudden appearance, and his right hand entered into the portal before he quickly pulled it back, just as the portal flashed and disappeared, he was a few moments too late.
If he was annoyed, it did not show on his face, he simply began running his hand through the empty space as he seemed to be picking his way through the spatial echoes left behind, he frowned slightly when a voice rang out behind him,
"Oi, it seems both of us were a bit too late." A white - haired man with a close-cropped hairstyle who appeared to be in his twenties stood behind Fury, he was holding a pot of soup in his left hand, and it was boiling, letting out a pleasant aroma, as pieces of meat and vegetables floated on top.
He opened his mouth wide and swallowed directly from the pot, which soon refilled itself as the Ancestor of the Boreas family belched.
Fury was quiet as he ignored him, his brow furrowed in concentration, only someone like Fury could be so dismissive of an Ancestor, but he did this because he understood the character of the person behind him.
Every Ancestor was named after their Primogenitor, as they represented their interest here on the Mortal Realm, it was the reason they were called Earth gods, and also the reason this white haired man was called Bacchus, the same as the god.
Bacchus waited for his pot to refill and continued speaking to Fury who was concentrated on pressing space apart, as part of the reason was because the space on Trion—A Major World was quite different from a Minor World, it was like comparing the consistency of mud to steel.
"I received the news of the crisis on one of my most valuable holdings five seconds ago, those damn family bureaucrats are overdoing themselves in their seeming endless in competencies, but what can you do about it, family eh..."
"like you, I am too late to stop this... debacle and the portal to my properties are lost, but in seven more hours, the repairs, and bypass should be completed, I will enjoin you to come with me and quench your thirst while we wait Prince Fury."
Fury reply was succinct, even until this moment he was still quietly molding space,"I'm going through the passage now."
"You are like a young billy goat Fury, jumping at the first sign of excitement. I will warn you that the passage that was shut down has been used as a permanent spatial passage for thousands of year's. Going through it without a fixed waypoint would be like swimming naked in a pool of razor blades. Besides, whatever mischief is being committed in my Domain would be wiped out the moment I step foot on it, so no need to put your safety in peril."
"Thank you for your concern Bacchus, yet I still insist on going through. My clansman Dorian died inside your holdings, and knowing her expected responses to this tragedy, I intend to do something about it and soften the blow."
"How magnanimous of you, but as I said previously I will handle everything happening on my holdings, and I am genuinely sorry for your loss, Dorian was a spectacular light, but this is a slight crisis and there is no way..."
"A week of the Aura Field for your family."
Bacchus words were stuck in his throat,"make that a month, and you have a deal!"
"Nathis would see it done." Fury replied.
"I have to warn you, crossing such a space zone is incredibly dangerous, are you not convinced...
Fury did not bother to listen as he tore the space apart and entered the chaos.
Bacchus began mumbling to himself, "So...that's the second big customer now, I would need more of this to recompense for the fucking debacle those half wits caused me. Even if the project is a waste, I should be able to harvest Blue Iron for another 23,000 years, oh well, a month worth of Aura should be equal to 10,000 years of the combined harvest of Blue Iron, adding it to what I collected from the first customer, not much of a loss. But, nothing is stopping me from acquiring more, Rowan Kuranes, who are... "
Unexpectedly he cocked his head to the side as if he was listening to something before he burst out in laughter, "Are you serious? Even a Rune Ship wants to enter my property? Tell it, I require a hundred tons of living metal or no deal, no make that three hundred tons, this Rowan Kuranes is becoming more interesting by the minute. Assemble my personal Guardsman, there is a party happening in my backyard, and I will not be late!"
