Chapter 429: Vol 9: Hepatia Village in Ruins
Ibro stood in his place for a long time, as he was surprised to find all of his abilities and functions got mixed up like this, but he wasn't depressed by it at all. He took a deep breath then he started to walk towards his village, to be stopped again from the game.
"There is one more thing I need to inform you about, player Ibro."
Ibro didn't stop this time, as he kept running forward with the screen next to him as he said:
"What is it?"
"It's about your time problem, as here time goes by different scales than outside, but when you came back I sensed a great influence over your personal time, so I corrected it.
Although I did my best, there's still some interference though with the time balance between here and the outer worlds.
Your time here won't affect any time frame at any world related to my jurisdiction, but worlds like the ones you went to which lie out of my reach, there will be some time differences though. Each hour you pass here will equal to six minutes outside, so note this."
Ibro didn't feel upset as the sound of the game expected, instead he was relieved. He knew well what was happening better than the game itself, as this was the entire trap set by his enemies, time clan included.
Now the game had granted him more time, valuable time, so he could move with less pressure and more ease.
The new time equation for him was one to ten, like he could stay here for ten months and only one month would pass in the outside world. Ibro said in gratitude:
"Thanks for your help."
"No problem, you are fighting for all humans after all. Good luck player Ibro, may the trouble be away from you."
Ibro watched the screen go away as he had more questions that he kept to himself for now. One day he would unveil all this mystery and remove this foggy blanket over all the questions in his mind, but what he was sure now was this place was human-ally.
That was great, as up till now he felt the whole world was conspiring against humans, and that was an awful feeling.
"Gozline, come to me now."
Ibro then took Gozline and put her inside one of his storage rings. This time he didn't trust putting her in the inventory, as he couldn't use anything from there anytime he left here. He also moved all his things from the inventory, except for his gold coins.
'Partner, use the teleportation now,' Ibro said to his system.
''
Ibro then disappeared from his place to reappear again a couple of tens of miles away, then he disappeared again to reappear a couple of tens of miles away again. He felt strange as he asked:
'Why do you move me in short distances only?'
'The environment here is scarce in spiritual energy, so I can't fully use your teleportation ability to its full potential. This is the maximum I can move you at any time,' the system explained, but that made Ibro wary. His village was very far from here, so it would take a few hours to get back.
'Fine, keep moving me without any pause.'
''
Ibro then kept silent throughout the journey, which took nearly five hours to come back to the outer territory of his village. Ibro stood in the air watching with sorrow the state of his village, which was now under heavy siege from endless streams of monsters, monsters he faced long time ago at the underground territory of his village.
'What I feared most happened, the cave was overrun by these monsters, or demons. I don't care who they are, partner, can you summon my armies from my pocket space world to here?' Ibro muttered to himself while looking at the damage everywhere.
'Yes, I can move them but that would take more time than usual,' the system replied instantly.
'The limitation of spiritual energy again?' Ibro asked while his eyes were trying to assess the whole situation. Everywhere he looked, destruction was what he saw. His long well strived village had deteriorated to such a ragged condition, which made him feel more pain, and extreme anger.
'It's not spiritual energy this time, but the soul sea energy,' the system commented.
'I don't care, just get them all out now, and I will help them by using my new modified class.'
'Do you want me to summon them away from here?' the system suggested.
'That's a good idea, summon them there behind that mountain, it's spacious and nearly clear of any monster.'
Ibro selected an area nearly ten miles away from his village, where it was sheltered from anyone's observing eyes by a huge mountain.
'I will move you there so I can start summoning them,' the system explained, then it moved Ibro at once to appear at the plain behind the mountain.
Ibro stood there and his divine sense was watching what was happening to his village. His armies were stationed above the high walls of his village, which seemed majestic and strong.
The credit for the village to still standing like this was due to these towering walls and different defensive tools which were equipped above them.
Ibro knew his village had been upgraded more than once after he went missing, but its territory was smaller than before by much.
The destruction and ruins scattered everywhere on a radius of nearly 20 miles around these walls made Ibro realize how big his village had become, and that made him feel some guilt.
He didn't need to ask anyone as he knew the truth, the village was allowed to expand normally until he was subjected to retaliation from all his enemies.
Such devastation didn't occur for long, as he was sure this started only a week ago.
'You seem to be very fixed on destroying anything I built, and that makes my desire for revenge even stronger than before.'
Ibro muttered before he regained his gaze and looked at the skeletons which began to assemble at an increasing rate.
'Let me give you a hand,' he then took out Ognor staff, as this was his first time ever using it. He was now in a game based world, so he had to work following the rules of the game. His necromancy skills were considered magic based skills, so he needed to use a staff.
'Transform strength into MANA.'
Ibro started his actions by this move, as his class provided him with an advantage. Converting Strength to MANA was beneficial for him, as his ultimatum energy was calculated based on a fixed formula.
Each single point of Strength was converted into two MANA points, so his ultimatum energy got a good boost from the start.
'Giant bony golam summon skill.'
'Frost bony dragon summon skill.'
'Death kings summon skill.'
'Death knights summon skill.'
'Lich summon skill.'
Ibro used at once his most effective five skills one after another. He waited for a few seconds until the cool down of any skill reset and then he started using them over and over again.
He was summoning high end skeletons from the sky, while his system was summoning low rank skeletons on the ground.
Both worked in harmony for a couple of hours till they formed a huge mighty army, an army that would be the start of Ibro's revenge.
