Master Of None

Chapter 728: 728. Aftermath

The scene that greeted them was not one they had thought they would ever see in their lives. The pure light griffin was flapping its large wings to stay afloat within the air and survey the farm lands. The bodies of the demon army [pride had molded were undergoing a terrifying change.

Some simply rotted away visibly to bones while others lost skin and even limbs to return to what they used to be. The normal demons they had once been before Pride had hijacked their mana system and forced them to change. They were not conscious but Walker could feel the need to go and check on them. Without even a flinch Su was in motion.

The massive line of gouged up earth was all that could be seen for almost a mile. The pure light griffinsʼ attack has shred through the ground destroying every single piece of Pride. He was completely defeated. It was such an easy thing for the griffin that Walker could only feel weak. He needed to get stronger faster so he could rival these corrupted demons.

Walker was trying his best to think logically as he walked up to Ibis who was standing with the use of a cane he had never seen Ibis use before. The sweat and paleness only proved that Ibis was stuck with a single mana point no matter what. Walker had heard Barry and knew that the griffin would just take his mana so a mana potion would most likely not do anything.

”Hell of skill, right? I have only been able to use it one other time in my life. Itʼs really wonderful.” Ibis spoke as if he was showing off a cool toy instead of a massive pure light griffin that could eat all of them with ease.

Losing his logic, Walker asked the first thing that came to mind in response, ”Since you are making Clara guild master does that mean that we need to get a new party manager?” Even Walker was stunned that this was what came out of his mouth.

Ibis looked at him bewildered before laughing, Ha! Kids these days. They see a mastery skill and can only think about is who their guild manager is. To answer your question, she will stay. Iʼm sure she wonʼt let you all get away. Now, help me get back to the city.

I will need to take a year of rest before I get my mana back.” The sigh came with a glance up at the pure light griffin. Ibis knew that getting the city a protector would cost so much mana. But it was necessary at the moment.

Walker lent Ibis his shoulder and began to walk toward the walls where many adventures and guards swarmed. The moment the largest threat was gone, they had rushed out. Barry started to shout orders to gather the living demons to be healed and interrogated. He didnʼt have much hope that they would remember much but even a shred of information was better than nothing.

Su was treating those demons currently and the healers that began to join her were too business like to properly greet her. However, Walker took not that many of them were casting excited and happy glances at her. They were excited to work with the hero that had made a name for herself helping those in need even though she was not a healer type system holder.

A group of adventurers came up with a stretcher that Ibis gladly rested upon before they rushed him away towards the city. Then they said something about the cathedral to rest but Walker was still caught in everything happening around him.

”You boy, I feel you are different.” Walker was jolted from his thoughts by the same voice of the griffin.

Unsure of what to do or say, Walker went with what seemed appropriate, ”thank you for your assistance in protecting the city.” He did a small bow toward the griffin that was able to hear and speak from so far up in the sky.

”I was called. I could not allow anything to go awry in my presence. Especially against something so dark. It was not like you. It was dark and void of purity. You are different.

A balance of dark and light, and other things. Normally it would be beneath me to even look at another that is not pure but I believe you are close.” The griffin flew further away and circled the city. It seemed to Walker that this was all it had wanted to say.

Realizing he hadnʼt taken stock of the golem and the others, Walker found that Midnight and the golem were checking the golem body for damage. Other than some dirt and debris it was perfectly fine. The claws would need some sharpening after cutting through some of the pride puppets.

”Brother, Midnight wants you to shine the golems scales later.” Onyx had made sure Barry was alright without him and started to slither through the adventurers and guards to help where he could. He was doing the same job as Su to tell the healers that might need guidance what the still living demons needed.

”We will, and your scales too. Let me get ahold of things here first.” Walker felt a hand on his shoulder and Gil revealed himself next to Remey who was waiting for Walker to pull health potions out from his storage.

”Thanks, I will be with Su.” Remey took more health potions and reached Su in an instant.

”Now that Onyx is here, letʼs see what he gathered from his stroll.” Gil knew Walker was about to ask the same thing so he focused on Onyx.

”The demons mostly do not have systems. From what some have spoken to me they were captured and forced to change using some skill. They lost control of their bodies and were forced to do Pridesʼ bidding. Strangely, the conscious ones say that they all have a quest now. Itʼs titled, free the demon race.”
