Early Morning - Mid Sumr : Bahamut Estate
“Well, now that Krystallo has gotten better at moving in her humanoid form, how about a trip?”
-Hm?- "Where to?"
"Well, I feel like my mother will kill if I don't bring you guys to see her so ti soon."
Krystallo looked up at Mother. "Won't us visiting alert the elders?"
"She just cant co to us, that doesn't an we cant go to her."
Before anyone else could speak up there was sothing I needed to ask. "So when are we going to leave?"
"This afternoon or tonight, there are only a couple things I need to finish before we go."
"Alright, in that case I need to go check up on the pirate settlent by the temple so I'll be back in a bit."
Mother looked at with wide eyes. "Pirate settlent? This is the first ti I've heard of it.."
I glanced over at Father with slight disappointnt. -Seriously?-
"Sorry.. I got a bit preoccupied.."
"Haah.." -I guess I can't bla him..- "Well you can explain to Mother while I'm gone. I won't be too long."
As I turned to the field, I got stopped by Mother again. "Ah, before you go.. should I send soone with you to show you how to activate the space rune?"
A confident smile slowly crept onto my face. "I won't be using the space rune so I'll be fine going alone."
"Wait what? How are you going to get there without the space rune? YOU ARE NOT FLYING THERE!" Mothers face imdiately got serious as a wave of worry washed over her.
"Haha, calm down Mother, I won't be flying either."
"Then.. how?" Her face was filled with genuine confusion.
"Haha, I guess it's ti to show you guys what I've been learning to use!"
Everyone imdiately gave a weird look.
"Well.." I casually walked out and sat in the middle of the field. "I'll be back later!" With a small wave, a gate encompassed Ilios and I making us vanish.
- Zachari Ragnarok ~
"Well.."
-What is he doing?- I looked at him with an odd curiosity.
"I'll be back later!"
-Hm?-
*Vwoom*
A black sphere suddenly appeared around him before instantly disappearing, leaving no trace of Vasilias or Ilios behind.
My entire body and mind froze.
Maria and Chloe both broke out into a cold sweat with pale faces and Osto was just as shocked as I was.
"Did he just.." Osto slowly turned his head to and stared at with wide eyes.
-He used space magic..- Slowly turning to him, my look of clueless surprise started to change to a smile.
As we stared at each other, our shock and awe quickly turned to excitent.
A feeling of pride like no other quickly filled us.
I puffed up my chest and held my head high. "I told you I'd raise him to be the strongest!"
Osto couldn't help but laugh in the good atmosphere. "Haha, I rember saying he was the next Bahamut as a joke several years ago but now its seeming possible."
"No.." I looked at him with a confident smile. "Vasilias will far surpass Bahamut!"
Although it was incredibly taboo to question Bahamut's strength, we didn't care.
We were simply proud to be raising the one who we believed would beco the strongest dragon in existence.
- Vasilias ~
-Hehe.. I wonder how they reacted..-
Once I got into the void, I looked around to find the node of the temple space rune and found it fairly quickly.
-I've gotten more efficient using both space mana and my thruster magic.. lets see if I can use them in here now..-
Not wasting any ti I created a small amount of hydrogen and lit the thruster.
-Hey.. that's way more efficient than I expected..- Although I wasn't moving fast at all, I didn't want or need to.
Not only was I not traveling very far, the faster I went, the more effort I'd need to put in to slow down.
-Oh shoot!- After only a couple seconds I realized I was passing it and slowed down. -I almost passed it already..- I quickly noticed my sense of scale was a bit off now that I was right next to it.
It was incredibly shrunk down compared to last ti and was only the size of the physical space rune artifact. -Is it tiny because the rune isn't activated?-
After thinking about it for a mont, I lightly shrugged my shoulders and made a new gate right above it. -I'm sure I’ll figure it all out at so point..-
-I guess I should make the gate a bit more above the node than that actually..- I really didn't want to have to run through all the traps again and was honestly too nervous to find out what would happen if I created a gate that was under the ground or in a wall.
*Vwoom*
As the sphere faded, I found myself in the very top of the upper atmosphere.
-What the?! The gate was still only a bit above the node.. Just what is the ratio of distance in the void compared to the physical world..- As I thought about it, I finally started to realize just how ridiculously short the distances in the void were compared to normal.
-I need to.. be more careful about that in the future..- I was quick to realize how bad that could've been if I went a bit too far and it sent a chill down my spine.
As I fell through the upper atmosphere, the temple steadily ca into view and the nearby coast line could be seen, which quickly snapped out of my thoughts.
-Hey, they really followed through with their word..-
On the coast there was a fairly large dock with several large ships currently docked at it.
"Well, hold on Ilios. It'll be a hard landing!" Since it would be the first ti most of the people here would et , I figured I'd make an entrance.
Changing to my humanoid form and grabbing Ilios, I used so thrusters to help reach the ground.. a tad faster.
*CRACK*
*BANG*
Hitting the ground with excessive force, the sand beneath my feet turned molten.
-Hey, I guess I did get a bit stronger since last ti..- Although I hit the ground quite a bit harder than last ti, my knees weren’t strained as badly.
Letting down Ilios, I casually walked out of the puddle of molten glass and started checking out the port.
-For only starting a few months ago, this is a pretty good start..- The port was fairly simple, looking just like a large raised dock but it was pretty well built.
The joints where the support beams t each other were actually cut to fit just right into each other, making the dock really quite sturdy.
-But no one is here..- Although it was pretty cool to see the improvent, I was here to look for Captain Abbie. -They're probably in that big clearing.-
Figuring there wasn't anything else to see here, I made my way down the, now widened, trail through the forest.
As I got closer to the clearing I could hear the noise of several footsteps and so chatter.
"What was that?"
"I have no idea, it was too loud to be a cannon."
"I hope it's not a sea monster.."
"Calm down man, I'm sure whatever it was won’t bother us."
As I ca around the corner I saw a group of 4 guys, all well ard with armor and swords, making their way towards . -They havent noticed yet?- A playful grin slowly crept onto my face. "Would you guys happen to know where Captain Lassar is?"
