Chapter 217: The Reconstruction Process

Chapter 217: The Reconstruction Process

A day passed since the war had come to an end. The next step for the Dark Elves was to rebuild. Ira was the one who drove the process forward and set about to accomplish some unknown task while instructing everyone else to look for survivors of the Unified Army. If they were without major injury they would be sent off with moderate supplies. If they were in critical condition they would be put out of their misery.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Of course, sending away wasnt an act of mercy but a way to send a message. The survivors of the Angels war would tell everyone else what happened which would prevent anyone else from taking action. After all, if a God and an army of Angels, as well as millions of mortals, failed to stop Ira, who could?

Anyone alive? A Lycanthrope asked as he tossed away a boulder.

No, not a soul. His Dark Elf companion responded. Wait

She lifted a few loose rocks and found a withered and pale body of what used to be a young man. His hair had lost its color and fell out in some places while his body looked emaciated.

Wait a minute, come here! The Dark Elf called the Lycanthrope over.

What? If its someone who is wounded just kill them. The Lycanthrope trudged over while frowning but as he laid eyes on the shriveled body his expression changed.

Its him...Randolph. The one they called the Champion of the Gods. The Lycanthrope sneered.

Hes still alive, The Dark Elf said grimly.

Good. The Lycanthrope cracked his knuckles with a smile, making his intentions clear.

Are you an idiot? His companion asked with a shocked expression. We have to bring him to the Keeper. If you killed him the Keeper would surely be disappointed and do you know what her Majesty would do to you? Havent you heard the stories? The Dark Elf grew frantic at the thought.

Although Ira hadnt punished anyone, Sylun was quick to do so for anyone who she deemed to have failed in their duties or disappointed Ira. It was a rare event for her to do so but she would gladly get rid of an incompetent individual without hesitation.

Youre right! The Lycanthrope became aware of his mistake. Ill go tell someone you keep an eye on him!

With that, he ran off into the distance as fast as he could.

Inside of the Underground City, Ira walked through the streets with his family in tow. Lauren and Casey were also following them per Iras request. Sylun also hovered nearby with a contingent of guards but kept her distance as to not interrupt Iras moment with his family. Since the citizens of the Underground City had yet to return to their homes due to the destruction, Ira was able to move in peace.

Ive spoken to the Gods, Ira said suddenly.

At that moment, everyone seemed to stop except for his children who followed him like ducklings.

What? Avery was the first to regain her calm and asked him a question. She resumed walking and caught up to him while everyone else reacted a second later.

Before I get into that, I should tell you that Ive seen Kara Thynne in the Divine Realm, at least I think I have. Ira glanced over his shoulder at Lauren.

Ive fixed things, Ira replied.

If the cave is gone what happens when the sun comes out, Dad? Zephyr asked.

Ah, you won't be able to see it from inside the city, Ira answered with a warm smile.

Forever? Raveria asked with wide-eyes.

Thats right. Unless I change my mind and revert it back, this city wont ever see sunlight.

Valeryns eyes flashed with admiration after hearing his father's words.

It wasnt long ago when he had learned to cut through space, taking after Iras footsteps but now he couldnt even begin to fathom how to replicate his fathers actions. Luckily, he wasn't discouraged and his mind began surging with thoughts. Valeryns eyes allowed him to see a world of things that could be cut apart. If he wanted to grow he knew that he would need to look beyond that.

Ira looked at Valeryn, instantly understanding what was on his sons mind. Raveria and Zephyr had shown growth but they werent as enthusiastic as Valeryn. It seemed to be the only thing that really grabbed his interest was advancing his own abilities.

Keeper, please accept my heartfelt thanks. Sylun pressed her forehead against the ground. Ignoring all pretenses of a ruler and showing the utmost amount of respect to Ira.

Hey, come on, stop that. Ira helped her up. You dont need to do that, really.

Prior to consuming Rythars divinity Iras might have been able to maintain that he wasnt a God. After killing a God who possessed a mortals body and driving away the Angels, there was no way he would be able to convince people he wasnt.

If you wish, Keeper. Sylun stood up slowly.

Now, the real issue here is what to the name the city. Ira stroked his chin.

What are you talking about? Avery asked.

Its not underground anymore so we cant really call it the Underground City can we? Iras question caused her to be a bit dumbfounded. The fact that his focus was on something as simple as the name of the city instead of his own power made her brow twitch in frustration.

Noticing the change in Avery, Ira hurriedly changed the subject. We can think of the new name some other time. How about we go back for now?

Keeper! A Lycanthrope ran toward Ira, interrupting him. He knelt down immediately and passed over the news before Sylun had a chance to reprimand him.

Weve discovered Randolphs body outside the city, Keeper. It appears that he managed to survive but he is extremely weakened.

Oh? Well, bring him to me. Ira looked genuinely surprised. He had to give Randolph credit because, in Gavreels memories, there was an insignificant chance of Randolph surviving the possession. In fact, even if he did survive he would be stripped of all power and effectively crippled from the shock which seemed to be the current case.

After Ira gave his orders, Sylun instructed a group of Dark Elves to go retrieve while they returned to the palace. Many still remained in awe of the darkness covering the city and it was likely that they wouldnt get over it for some time.
