Chapter 1114 - 453: Demon Hunting Fortress (2)
"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment," Jason said, standing up with a smile."Is this your companion?" Salaro turned his head to look at Alka and asked.
Alka nodded with a smile.
"You didn’t mention before that your companions were so amazing."
"Overstated, hahaha."
Just now, Alka and their sudden entry into battle indeed shone brilliantly to some extent.
Instantly relieved pressure in several areas.
Especially Alka, who used various Elemental Cards and controlled elements across the battlefield, was one of the most noticeable presences.
However, neither Jason nor Ulllius transformed or fused into their dragon forms.
In such a battle, using such exaggerated forms without Alka and their support could only make them targets.
They were unfamiliar with the battlefield and might be mistaken for enemies by ignorant soldiers.
It was better to familiarize themselves first, avoiding unnecessary meddling.
Salaro merely came to exchange a few pleasantries before getting busy again.
After most of the day had passed, night fell. The sky was veiled as they confirmed no demon attacks, allowing the fortress to finally relax slightly.
Alka and their companions were allocated a residence inside the fortress.
A three-story small stone tower.
The water-blue Water Card released a large amount of clean water, which then cascaded down.
Alka controlled it for a simple shower to cleanse the grime from his body.
Jason, Juanlu, and a few others were nearby.
As the grime from their bodies washed away! The water mixed into a deep crimson and flowed around.
It mingled with ordinary soldiers’ and demon blood alike.
"Has Matilda not returned yet?" Alka asked after a turn around.
Chadite shook his head, then laughed, "She’s now called the Four-armed Angel, show some respect."
"Oh?"
Alka made a questioning sound, controlling the Wind Card to blow dry the water on his skin.
"Madeleina, since the battle ended, has been busy treating injuries.
You know, given her Treasure and healing skills, these common injuries are quite simple for her.
Her treatment is effective and efficient, even pulling many dying soldiers back from the Death God, hence the nickname."
Hearing this explanation, Alka nodded.
Indeed it was.
"What about Pororo?"
"Naturally, helping Matilda."
Simon also wasn’t around, but Alka saw him busy at the defensive machinery when he arrived.
Though it was their first time here, they adapted well after an unexpected battle.
"Aren’t you going to rest? You don’t look well," Chadite commented on Alka’s appearance.
They couldn’t impact the battlefield like Alka by using Elemental Cards with human cannon power.
Lacking channels to exhaust their Magic Power abundantly.
For Alka, emptying his Magic Power was simple; mixing elements and expanding their scope would suffice.
During the day, Alka vanquished the most demons and consumed the most energy among them.
Across the fortress were traces of Alka’s varied Elemental Attacks.
"Indeed, I don’t feel great. I’ll head in to rest,"
Alka said, rubbing his swollen head.
Then he entered the stone tower.
Sinking directly into the Dream Realm.
...
Amid the snores.
Alka awoke with a start.
On surrounding beds, several companions were still in the Dream Realm, snoring loudly.
Clearly yesterday exhausted them.
Alka got up, dressed in a coat, and went outside.
Upon emerging, he saw mercenary soldiers busily moving around.
He noticed soldiers changing shifts, replacing some injured soldiers, and allowing others who had fought several battles to rest.
There was no kitchen here for breakfast preparation.
Juanlu had awakened at some unknown time, coming up behind Alka.
"When did you wake up?"
"I wasn’t so extravagant on the battlefield yesterday," Juanlu laughed.
He retrieved ready-made dry rations from his pocket space and handed them to him.
Alka accepted them, picking up a cup of water, and began eating and drinking.
Soon, a soldier approached them.
"Excuse me, are you Lord Alka?"
Upon hearing this, Alka looked up at him, nodding.
"I am."
"Hello, the Grand Judge requests your presence."
Hearing this, Alka swallowed the dry rations quickly, then nodded to Juanlu.
"Lead the way."
Following the soldier towards the fortress’s center.
Upon climbing the wall, they entered a stone tower beneath a massive gray-purple Gemstone.
This was the fortress’s command center.
Upon entering, a scene of bustle unfolded.
The soldier led them into the innermost room.
After knocking and entering, they saw Grefar writing something.
When he saw Alka, he set down the pen and stood, saying,
"Thank you, and your companions for yesterday’s help."
"It’s nothing; we’re part of various Churches. Supporting and helping here, repelling demons, is indeed our duty."
