ʼChain quest: mummified curse- final link- completed

Requirement: the undead pharaoh is the ruler of the mummified city. Defeat them and return the flow of nature to the cursed desert.

Reward: 20000 experience, 20 heroic points, return of the desert, removal of the cursed sands, purification of the cursed desert by the will of the world.ʼ

ʼThe cursed sands are reverting to their natural form. The desert sands will recede over time and return the natural flow of time.

The will of the world is expressing its gratitude.ʼ

”Who cares, stupid system. Alice!” Walker shouted again and saw that Alice was already right by his side. She was singing very quickly trying to heal the massive hole that was left where Onyx had been attacked. The small spots where scales had been torn off by the barrier also leaked blood. The more that Walker looked, the more that he felt he was breaking too.

”You need a potion too.” Su forced Walker to open his mouth and drink a potion. The mana potion helped restore some mana to him but it was still too little compared to the state he was in from releasing a massive amount of natural mana in to another being as he had just done. It was not something that his body could handle without some massive side effect.

The health potion that followed made Walker realize that he had also been injured. The fact that Onyx had been hurt was what Walker had focused on most of all. But the cuts from the mummified pharaohsʼ attacks were clear. It had used the wrappings on its body to attack in the end and had grazed Walkerʼs arm. If Onyx had not taken the attack, it was clear that Walker would lose an arm and his life.

As the gash healed, Walker also noticed the bruises from the stalemate with the mummified pharaoh on his arms and legs. All the places the pharaoh had grabbed him to keep from stepping it with the eternal orb. ”Thatʼs it!”

Walker realized that in not using the eternal orb stuff form to attack in the end had left natural mana still in it. A residual amount compared to what walker had forced himself and what Fluer had used before, but still enough to help. The natural mana could boost the mana in Onyxʼs body and hopefully help Alice heal him.

The eternal orb reacted to Walkerʼs desire and floated up from the group taking the orb form again. It had landed there when Walker thrust his hands inside the mummified pharaoh to send all the natural mana possible inside it and force its body to crumble. The result had been great since it had ended this matter and sent natural mana throughout the entire mummified city. But that was just part of it.

Walker hadnʼt even seen the other undead falling apart or the runes beginning to fall apart. He didnʼt care.

The eternal orb was pressed against Onyxʼs head. Walker could tell that Onyx was in a very bad situation. He was still bleeding too much while the healing seemed too slow. Then there was the fact that onyx had burned through a very high amount of mana to break the barrier that the mummified pharaoh had placed on the stairs to trap them when they came to fight.

Without Onyx, they would not have won. But with Onyx slowly dying, it was too much to handle. ”Use the rest of my mana as well. I can hold on until I reach the sun again.” Rise spoke calmly. She looked at Onyx carefully, the abyssal serpent had made a very clear impression on Rise. able to use light and darkness manas together without any issues.

Proof that there is a balance between them that was not only in the nature dragon that united the dragon royalty.

Rise placed a hand on Aliceʼs shoulder and the reaction was immediate. Light gathered more easily as Alice sang. The healing process also improved. When Walker began adding in natural mana at the expense of his own stress, the healing increased even more.

What walker didnʼt notice though, was that as his mentality faded from the pressure he put on himself in the moment, was that the life mages and other healers had been sprinting up the stairs to them.

Just ast Walker finally lost his consciousness, he managed to spot the life mages using multiple skills on everyone. Including Onyx…

ʼThe title, hero, has been earned. The alteration of levels and growth will be applied. An additional title has been earned. The dual hero of light and darkness has been earned. The hero title has been removed in change of this additional higher ranked tiel. The world smiles upon you.ʼ

Onyx sensed these words. These feelings within him. In this darkness, he felt that he was warm. But he also felt the brightness of light all around him. A strange way to be blind. Both in light and darkness.

However, he didnʼt frown at it. Instead, Onyx felt this was all the right way. The best way. How things should be.

As he recalled what had happened, Onyx could only feel better about himself and the world. He had finally become a hero, even in death, that was fine to him. He saved many people who would have suffered if their efforts to defeat an evil undead failed. But he had also stood beside his family. Protected them. Showed everyone, even the world, who he was.

The feelings didnʼt fade though. Whenever Onyx had heard soldiers speaking about death, there were many theories. Many places beings went. Some even believed that they would just restart in the world as other beings. A fresh slate. But Onyx felt that he was just sitting in a strange mix of light and darkness.

Just stuck.

”Wake up already.”

”Sister?”

”Get Up!”

The shout and hard headbutt from Midnight brought the world of color back to Onyx. His eyes shot open as he looked around finding every royal dragon present and his party members with him. Walker was laying on Aliceʼs lap unconscious while the others all sat watching carefully. Even the angels were around waiting.

”But I-”

”You are bad.” Midnightʼs growl of unhappiness was masked by the fact that she hadnʼt moved her head from in front of Onyx.

”Donʼt worry, I will give you a good hit once my hands are healed.” Remey looked at onyx with a solid smirk.

”Woah, I have to give him a talk about dodging hits first. He just went right in front. He thought he was Su or something!”

”Gil, he is not a tough shield user like me. Donʼt give him ideas that he can go and take attacks like that again. There were many healers around to ensure he did not have lasting side effects other than a scar.” Su was a little more emotional than usual as well. But from what onyx could see, everyone still had some kind of happy face.

”When Walker awakens, you might have some trouble. But when it comes to Rise and I, you did well.” Mordant spoke softly. Just enough for Onyx to hear without interrupting too much. With The way he and Rise were looking at him, it was as if there had been a new and unspoken understanding about Onyx and what he represented.

”I didnʼt want anyone to get hurt… I saved mana for this battle and I was left behind. I could see it though… Brother was going-”

”Yeah yeah yeah mr. hero. Or should I say dual hero of light and darkness? Thatʼs right, the world shared your new title with everyone. We all know that you finally caught up to us.” Remey gave a toothy grin to Onyx who was about to apologize and ramble on. But seeing that everyone was looking at him without a single bit of unease of happiness made him lose the ability to speak.

”Oh, it looks like we finally managed to make him speechless. I would expect that to be the case. Especially when Walker wakes up. I am sure there will be even more issues with anyone speaking again.” Ventus looked at Onyx then the others. As a mother, she saw this as a very adorable situation. A Very emotional family event.

”Now that we know they are all fine, letʼs go find the ruins. I need to make sure nothing was damaged.” Ignus was pushy, but he glanced around with pride. They had won and left nothing to be questioned. The soldiers that fought had battled with everything. Even the seemingly weakest of the group had shown up to be the key in ending this battle. Now there was just what came afterwards.

It was a mystery what that would be though.
