TBATE Back to save you

CHAPTER 7: Alcaryan camp

Arthur Leywin POV

After setting up a camp and waiting for Jasmine to fall asleep, I sneaked out and went to some secluded area where I could open a portal to head to Sylvies location

It took me five minutes to find a place where this could be done. I sensed Sylvie's location through our bond and activated one of the god runes that I got from Sylvia, the Portal rune, to open a portal to her

She was sitting by the fire and waiting for me at the entrance of the certain S-ranked dungeon. She was using a stick to poke into the fire that she was sitting by. The illumination of flames gave her eyes and hair a beautiful orange glow 

" Are you ready Sylv?" She looked up to me and smiled.No matter how many times I see it, I can't shake the feeling that my daughter's smile is just too adorable

"Yes, papa!"

We entered the dungeon and headed to the lower floors in hopes of finding Alcaryans, so we can begin gathering evidence to prove that they are already here

It took us about twenty minutes to kill all the monsters on the first floor. I was mostly using Dawn and aether during it. I had to get used to Dawn before heading into fights with retainers and scythe and use aether in order to not get out of shape for, when the time comes, fight with asuras

I gave Sylvie a bell, the same one I got from the Windsom during my training in Ephoteus. I also gave her an explanation on mirage walk so she is now working on it

...

After another two hours, we finally spotted Alcaryan camp. There were roughly two hundred of them. In the cages on the end of the camp were corrupted mana beasts, and about fifteen meters from them were sprays that made them not attack the ones who used them and potions that can negate the effects of corruption.

There weren't a lot of potions there, only five actually, but I knew that we had to take them in order to save as many life's as possible in the future, one of them being Tessias

' Regis, can you prevent aether from leaving my core?'

' No problem, princess' he confirmed and I suddenly stopped feeling aether leaving my core

I asked him to do this for two reasons

1. I want to get more used to fighting with mana
2. I don't want to make potential Vritra or Asura suspicious of aether users in Dicathen if they come to check

Agrona may send some of his " lesser" subordinates to investigate the sudden stop in communication with the camp and knowing Kazess and asuras, they are probably already investigating Dicathen, so sensing a mass amount of aether in beast glade would lead them to this location

' Let's go, Sylv'

'Hm, papa' she said with a nod

We didn't put on our masks because we didn't plan on letting anyone survive today's raid

The first one to make a move was Sylvie

She created over thirty arrows of pure mana and launched them at the enemies. Twenty-four of them hit the unprepared targets while the rest missed for a millimeter

" Enemy attacks! Everyone on your positions!" one of the soldiers announced and every one of the Alcaryans stood up, prepared to fight

Even though they were now ready for battle, they were panicking. After all, twenty-four of their comrades died in a sudden attack in the middle of the dungeon

I took out the Dawn and headed straight at them. Enhancing myself with [ Thunderclap impulse] I saw the world around me slowing down. I started slashing through them, making sure that at the very least, they die painlessly
