117 Battle in Wasteland (1/2)
With the matters regarding the Path Technique and plans for the new members of the clan arranged, Zatiel addresses the situation of the tower control and the automatons.
”Here are the cores that will allow you to gain full authority over the tower and the automatons I bought form the kingdom.” Zatiel gives Dante two core one dark and another silver.
Dante grabs the two cores with his tendrils and deposits them inside the Elder Brian's body.
One second after he did that, there was a spike in the energy of the tower, but it immediately vanishes.
”Done father, I have obtained full control over the tower and the automatons. Right now the tower defenses will allow us to withstand the barrage of a Rank 4 individual as long they do not use their Law Avatar, and the Sunlight Core can release ten consecutive attacks with a power equal to a Rank 3 spell, and due to the Elder Brain controlling it, I can assure accuracy of 98.2% on Rank 3 life forms”
Dante remained quiet for a moment after making some calculations he spoke again.
”If we are willing to destroy the Sunlight Core, it can release a one-time attack equal to the power of a Rank 4 spell. The power of the core is in constant improvement and in two and half years it should be able to launch a Rank 4 spell without the need for destruction.”
Although the power released only by a Rank 4 spell was inferior to the one that can be done by using a Law Avatar, unless there was a life and death situation, most people will not release their avatars since the price for doing it was not small.
”It is good enough for now. Tell me how efficient are the current surveillance features of the tower.” Zatiel was satisfied with his tower being able to release a Rank 4 spell, and although it will cost him the Sunlight Core, he will only need to obtain another Perpetual Dynamic Core to replace the lost one.
”In a radius of fifty kilometers around the tower, I can maintain total surveillance, I can see and hear everything, and in a radius of five hundred kilometers I can identify every single individual and detect any unauthorized intrusion.”
”Good, for the time being, focus all of your energy in the migration of the horde composed of those races in Wasteland. Be sure to have enough of those tadpoles for every single one of them when they arrive. I will be in the peak of the tower finishing my Bloodline Heart and preparing to advance to Rank 2.”
After seeing that Dante had everything under control, Zatiel flies to the peak of the tower and lands right beneath the Sunlight Core before activating his Mind Force.
.......
Far away from the tower, in a plain of Wasteland, there was a horde of more than one thousand members and although they were all together, almost everyone was only communicating with the members of their own races.
Among the races found here, you could see dark elves, grey dwarves, frog people, centaurs, gnolls, and maurs, among others.
A great variety of emotion could be seen in the members of the horde, in the young ones you could see anticipation and excitement, but in the older ones there was incertitude and sometimes fear.
Not too long ago, all of their tribes were visited by a group of six powerful dragonborns, and they were offered the opportunity to join a clan of one of the powerful organization of the surface.
Although a lot of promises were made, among them a Path Technique that was something all the ones present here wished to possess, the old ones know that the number of individuals on the surface that sees them and their race as nothing more than slaves was not small.
In the center of the horde, there were four people talking, three of them man, consisting of a gnoll, a grey dwarf, and a maur, as for the woman she was a dark elve.
They were the elders of their respective tribes and although their age had weakened their powers, it was thanks to their leadership that their tribes were able to survive in such a cruel and violent place like Wasteland.
”So what are your thoughts about their proposal, and the fact that we will be joining that clan. Do you believe when they say that we will obtain the same rights a Magi possess.” The one that spoke was the dark elve, and although she was old, she was still very beautiful.
