Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 185: Manifestation

They all returned to the cave within a few minutes. Felishia was still there and the corpses Nix created seemed to be cleaned up as well and everyone appeared to be ready to venture back to Theemai with their weapons and goods.

As Nix was about to approach the center where Felishia was...

A feminine voice suddenly entered his head and more importantly it was a voice he heard a few minutes before.

Well, it was indeed Heredia's voice.

'Telepathy?'

The voice entered his head again and when he turned to Camila he saw a faint blue glint in her eyes.

'Firstly, we are just in a deal. You give me something to me and I will give you something in return. I am not obliged to grovel under your feet. As for the powers you gave you have also grasped their souls and the proof of that your manifestation into Camila's body. Why should I feel grateful?'

He replied to the voice through his mind.

'Well, I guess for now? I don't know when you'll turn your sword on me.  I already had my doubt about why you gave her four levels. I guess you had to influence her soul to the core which will let you use her at ease.'

'Trust? You have a cause to collaborate with me. I do know you won't create a problem like that. As for souls. I would ravage Ether and you. If you dare to do anything to them.' 

He said calmly.

'She is more like your avatar or a puppet I believe? Since she possesses perspective capabilities her vessel suits you.'

'It's good that you have understood. But May I know why you are talking now?'

Nix said after getting on top of the stage.

'Well, all I want to hear is what my purpose?'

After that, her voice stopped. When he looked at Camila she seemed unfazed and did not seem to know what has happened. The problem is Cinzia and others were looking at him with concerned expressions on their faces.

"Imperator... It seems you are occupied with something in your mind."

Asahi said.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about the war," Nix replied indifferently.

"Is that so? I believe with you in our side we might as well stop the Corrupted gods." Felishia said with a straight face.

"Alright, that's that. Shall we go now?"

He asked looking at Felishia.

She slightly nodded her head and opened the rift once again.

"For Ruilo Magores victory!"

Everyone yelled and began approaching the rift chanting those words with motivation and strong will.

As soon as they entered the desert town entered their vision. The town was strangely full. The other racial people that entered into the rift were quite fascinated and excited to explore the town judging from the Intrigued expressions on their faces.

Unlike them, Nix's mind was occupied by worry because of his participation in the war. He did not have the slightest idea about his position in this war or what the gods look forward to. From his point of view, he thought of himself as an insignificant individual since there were millions of people dwell in the world. 

His perception was indeed true. He was a human who was not talented or some great influencer. Rather he was a cheater who was gifted with abilities of his past. In the beginning, he believed in traveling alone and not moving in a group but fate manipulated it. To be precise it was the influence of his past that strictly changed the path of loneliness.

Soon, they all reached Transgressors' clan house.

"Cinzia, from here on lead them. I have something to do." He said looking at Cinzia standing in front of his Clan's arch.

"Understood."

She said and turned to the battalion of other racial folks.

"Vlarion, you will come with me."

He said looking at the Dwarf who once tried to test his chains.

"It's pleasure Imperator!"

He uttered and followed Nix.

After that Nix and Vlarion cut off their paths from them and straightly went to the Draconian shop which was recently opened up

He needed to prepare for the war and this was his first step. Moreover, he was interested in their weaponry and utensils that had great potentials. Surely, The workmanship had several blunders since their main purpose is hunting and fighting. In essence, they were warriors, as a result, they were not good at crafting but their materials were top notch.

It had very much piqued his interest. It seems they possess a mineral that was inside the volcano which possessed a very high fire resistance and has the capacity to withhold mana. It was a metal called Theramantite. A metal that is used to make mana crossbows and swords that can hold attributes and mana in reserves.

Since Vlarion had suggestions about weapons when they were in the cave Nix wanted to put his skills to test.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the shop Vlarion's eyes shimmered in excitement.

"Imperator! This is is a Draconian store?"

"Indeed I am going to buy a weapon so I need some suggestions."

Nix needed to adapt and unlike his beginning days, he had done his part of research in order to gain knowledge of the world, which was also why he read books in his free time. Moreover, the Way of Empyrean already had the details he needed.

It was like a guide to survive and know the nature of Empyrean where he had learned about elements on Empyrean and few more things. Even though there were several things missed out in the book it was surely a useful one. As such he knew for a fact that Draconians possess the metal and use only Thermantite. He also wanted to test Vlarion's insight about metal.

"Welcome Lord of Transgressors!"

A man in his twenties uttered in excitement. He was the dealer and seller who made a contract with the Draconians as per Remo's Directions.

"Yo man! I need you to show me some weapons man."

The shopkeeper smiled and brought out several deformed weapons and shields.

He placed a big shield on the counter and began to speak.

"This here is something that will be useful for tankers. It can store your mana with which you can release your attribute two times and has the durability to with stand Dracian breathes and other explosive attacks."

As he explained Vlarion picked up and tapped the metal while Peering at every nook and corner of the shield that was not made with dedication or love in working it.

"It is sturdy but it's heavy as well. It should have been designed aerodynamically so that it can be used as a weapon as well as a shield. The density should be lowered. Overall this is certainly bad just judging from the circular design!"

Vlarion said and placed the shield back on the counter arrogantly. As a race who is known for their extreme skillfulness in blacksmithing, he couldn't appreciate such half-assed work made by the Draconians.

"Is that so? How about this?"

He said and placed a spear.

Vlarion gripped the weapon and swung it.

"Tch, How about you sell these in bulk? I am willing..."

Before Vlarion could say that he was willing to pay, Nix interfered.

"Well- Well, let's stop it at that. We will leave now. Thanks for showing them."

"But... Imperator, you said we will buy."

Vlarion said hesitantly with a dejected expression on his face.

Nix smiled and began talking looking at his disheartened face. "Yes but, I was interested in your skills and your view about blacksmithing. This was like a test. I will strike a deal with the Draconians to buy the Thermantites ores in bulk. Get ready to work day and night!"

At that moment Valrion's heart was ignited with fire, a Fire of an enthusiastic blacksmith.
