The War Against Drakath

Chapter 21: Teleporting Battleon

And so we set out to gather the ingredients for the teleportation spell.

It wasn't easy mind you. We had to gather some flax from a cave filled with various elementals….fire elementals….water elementals…earth elementals…air elementals…you name it.

Fortunately I had learned various kinds of elemental magic, so I was able to use the elementals' weaknesses against them. It tended to be rather obvious which spells to cast….

Masamune34 simply slashed them with his sword, which proved surprisingly effective considering that there were made of elemental magic….

His sword must have been enchanted or something…or maybe he was simply lucky?

There were a bunch of other adventurers there as well. Looks like Warlic sent a bunch of others to help them get the flax.

He said we would need a ton, and I could tell he wasn't kidding….

We managed to get it done eventually, but like I said, it wasn't easy. I felt exhausted to be honest using all my magic on those elementals…

Afterwards, Warlic gathered every spellcaster in town. Apparently, it would require many people for the spell to activate.

And of course, being a spellcaster, I was one of them…

Naturally Masamune34 wasn't very good at magic, so all he could do really from that point on was watch….he cheered me on, but I didn't think I would really need it….

Looks like I was going to be the one who saved the day this time….

And so we said the necessary words for the spell along with the others….

And eventually we were teleported away, just before the chaotic meteor struck us….

But it turned out that we had done the spell wrong. We had teleported it to none other Skullholme, where Gravelyn, my boss was….rather than our intended destination.

And to make matters worse for us it was leaning on the edge of the cliff straight towards the castle….

And so once again we had to gather the necessary flax, this time before Shadowfall lived up to its name….

It was pretty frustrating really….it was hard enough getting the necessary flax the first time, now we had to do it once more. Ugh…..

And so we battled the elementals once more in order to get the required flax…

I sincerely hoped that we wouldn't have to do it a third time...in fact Warlic said that doing it a third time would be dangerous….I sincerely hoped we wouldn't have to do it again…

And so we teleported Battleon once more…good grief….

Fortunately, it was towards its intended destination this time…at Greenguard Forest….I hadn't really heard of the place before…I wonder if Masamune34 and I should travel there sometime in the near future? It did seem like it would have its share of monsters, as well as its share of treasure….not to mention we could probably get to many different places from there….

It did seem like an ideal place to adventure, they called us adventurers for a reason, you know….but I suppose that could wait another time.

Everyone celebrated, but Masamune34 and I wondered what Drakath was up to. I doubt it was anything good, and I was pretty sure it was something chaotic….

"Maybe he'll send another Chaos Lord, like he sent the 1st Chaos Lord Escherion to Mobius?" Masamune34 wondered. "Probably, he does seem to be planning something big." I replied. I still wasn't sure how exactly we managed to beat the chaos battlemage and that chaotic hydra that could regenerate its heads….dumb luck, maybe? Or maybe were just that skilled….

Now yes, where were we? I recall Drakath saying that he would bring 13 lords of chaos to Battleon…and so far we've only faced one of them….who knows what trials we would face in the future? And why was he sending them in the first place?

Could we defeat whoever Drakath chose as his next lord of chaos, just as we defeated Escherion earlier?

I suppose that's something we can simply hope for….

But until then I suppose we could continue fighting monsters and stuff like that to help us get ready for the next encounter….

After all, we did have some time on our hands before the next Chaos Lord arrives I suppose….

Sorry for the long lack of update, in the next chapter, the next Chaos Lord will arrive….and Masamune34 and Blackmagic13 will start looking for him….
