Chapter 129: Calamity

Whoosh!

It didn't take long for Aurus to appear outside the inheritance, arriving a decent distance away from the gray magic circle that served as the entrance for the inheritance.

Aurus was still quite angry at the Ruler of the Void as he still had a few questions to ask him regarding the void and whatnot. But for some reason, the Ruler of the Void thought it was already good for him to obtain the lowest rank possible and the skills that came with it.

Nevertheless, with him outside the inheritance, he had no choice but to just accept what he had and go back to the alliance.

Weng...weng...

Just as he was about to prepare to head back to the alliance, a sound that was nearing the level of being incredibly annoying resounded throughout where he was, grabbing his attention in an instant.

"Where the heck is that sound coming from?" Aurus could not help but ask himself as he looked here and there in his current position, finding a conspicuous magic circle not long after.

As he stared at the magic circle, he could not help but wonder as to why it was here. He came closer to it and could suddenly feel an aura incredibly familiar to him, an aura of someone he knew very well.

"Herellia's aura? What's it doing—oh. I see." While Aurus was pondering as to why Herellia would put down a magic circle, he easily got to the conclusion, unlike the position of Ruler.

"She put down her aura here to tell me that she had already left the inheritance and had gone back to the alliance. She's the leader, so it's understandable for her to come back first," Aurus said to himself as he continued to look at the magic circle. A mote of light that stood out among the inner workings of the magic circle could not help but catch Aurus' eye, using his tendril to tap on that mote of light.

Ding!

Surprisingly, the mote of light triggered a notification from the system as the system asked, 'You have received a stored message from Herellia. Would you like to read?'

"A message from her..." Without thinking twice, Aurus accepted the prompt as an influx of information entered his mind, followed by Herellia's voice ringing in his sense of hearing.

"Hey Aurus, if you've received this message, first of all, congratulations!" Herellia said to Aurus through the message.

Since Aurus knew very well that it was a message meant for him, he did not respond to it subconsciously, but just listened as Herellia continued to talk.

"Since you've passed the inheritance, I'm very sure you've gotten an inheritance leaf. Is it Soaring grade? Unshrouding grade? Whatever it is, it'll definitely help out in grinding skills."

"Heheh." At this point in time, Aurus could not help but chuckle at Herellia's statement. He had obtained a Transcending Comprehension Leaf, a grade above what she had expected. But then, Herellia said something that made Aurus turn serious.

"I'm very sure you obtained a key from that inheritance. I'll tell you more about it once you get back here. It'd be better if you come here as early as possible since we don't know what could happen while you're listening to this message."

"How does she know about the existence of the key? Is this why she wanted to join me in clearing this inheritance?" Aurus could not help but formulate a few questions in his mind, only for him to put them at the back of his mind. "Then again, she's correct. I have to get back to the alliance as fast as possible. The faster I get back there, the faster I can create a human clone."

Even though Aurus had obtained a ton of information regarding Rulers, the thought of making a clone to relive that feeling did not disappear at all. He was still going to do it.

"I'm definitely sure that after I evolved Anima Creation to C-grade Transcendent level, I have obtained more than enough SP to create a clone."

"No wait, it's called FP now."

Whoosh!

At the very instant Aurus was finished talking to himself, he activated [Void Gale Spirit Shift], teleporting to a position 2 kilometers away from where he was, leaving no traces of him being inside the inheritance. As he appeared in that position, he then activated all of his movement enhancing buffs and started to zoom towards the alliance.

"I wonder if [Movement of the Void] would help me move faster." As he continued to zoom through the landscape, Aurus could not help but wonder how potent a buff from the Ruler of the Void was.

"[Movement of the Void]."

Fwoosh!

At the next instant, his movement speed, which was already fast for someone at the Inanimate level, was enhanced by at the very least 5 times, achieving a speed unseen in Inanimates before.

"Holy shit! This speed!"

"And what the fuck? I can turn it on and off whenever I want?"

"I guess the Ruler of the Void is right."

"This might just be all what I need!"

...

While Aurus was heading back to the Tempest Branch Alliance at a speed unimaginable to any Inanimate, one of the alliances governing over the Tempest Cliff renowned for their Energistus Branches and Saplings, the Verdant Nut Alliance, was being pummeled by a party known by many.

Crash!

A great chunk of the alliance's base was destroyed to bits as a blade made out of extremely condensed Wind energy particles cut through said part of base. Unlike the Tempest Branch Alliance's base, the Verdant Nut Alliance's base was very open, being situated in the center of a large forest within the Tempest Cliff. But thanks to that though, their alliance had a poor defense.

"Aaaah! Stay away from me! [Verdant Beheading]!" One of the mages from the Verdant Nut Alliance seemed to have snapped thanks to extreme fear, casting an offensive spell on the enemy. Normally, it would be ideal for the mage to cast a spell on the enemy, but it wasn't any normal enemy they were fighting against.

In an instant, a blade made out of wind condensed above the enemy's head and fell down like a meteor, cutting the head's open...or at least, that's what was supposed to happen.

Clink.

Rather than hearing something being torn apart, a sound foreign to these mages was heard, instilling more fear into them as they looked at what they were fighting against.

It was a wolf that had smooth green fur all over its body. Its body seemed to exude the aura of being one with nature, specifically the nature of Wind.

This wolf was none other than Chonk.

"Heh, you thought a measly blade could injure me?" Chonk could not help but laugh at the futile effort of the mage that shot the blade out. He then look at the direction of the mage and swiped his front paw down, creating a vortex of wind that easily mangled the branch mage into pieces.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

"No!"

"Jellian! How could you!"

"This can't be happening..."

Multiple cries of sadness and despair started to resonate throughout the alliance as not only Jellian, the mage that shot out the blade, was killed, a few others were also caught up in the mess, ending up getting killed as well.

Then again, the more one kills in a war, the faster they can take the advantage.

Amidst all of the screams that resonated throughout the alliance, one voice remained calm and composed as it reverberated, "Everyone, keep calm and come closer to me!"

"That..."

"The leader!"

"Boss Harriott!"

As they listened to the words of their leader being uttered, it was like everyone had been given a wake up pill, bringing back themselves from the grips of death and despair as they followed Harriott's words to a T.

It did not take long for the remaining members of the Verdant Nut Alliance to group up with their leader, forming a triangular formation of mages that faced against Chonk.

Then again, Chonk was never alone in the first place. He still had his slaves help him out, with most of them focused on destroying the alliance buildings and removing the heritage they left for the future generation just in case. But there were some that stayed beside Chonk, eager to find out what the alliance's final move was.

"My brothers, go ahead and use your strongest move and direct them upwards!" Harriott shouted to his members. "After that, I'll do the rest!"

"Alright boss! [Surging Tide]!"

"[Burning Fang]!"

"[Everlasting Chill]!"

"[Sundering Earth]!"

"[Ultimate Fuck It All Move]!"

"[All or Nothing Beam]!"

"[I Don't Know What To Call This Move, But I Can Assure You Boss That It's A Strong Move Nonetheless]!"

As each and every member of the alliance started shooting their ultimate moves upward, Harriott flew upwards to a height of ten meters or so. He then started to circulate the SP in his body, expanding it outwards as it captured the energy inside each of the spells his members shot out.

While continuing to absorb more and more ultimate level spells, Harriott could not help but shout towards Chonk and his gang, "Although you can destroy our alliance, our spirit shall never give in!"

'Man, the line I said was very cool,' Harriott could not help but chuckle to himself. 'I should really warn Zenissa and Herellia about them though. I'll do that as I shoot out this ultimate move.'

Eventually, Harriott had accumulated enough energy from the spells, coalescing them into a large sphere of energy. He then threw it towards where Chonk stood.

"This is the combination of all of the ultimate spells my members have learned! All of our efforts, experiences, emotions, everything, is in this ball of extreme power!"

"We shall never give in! Our unyielding wills will never allow it!"

"Take this! [Spirit Bomb]!"

Whoosh!

Although it looked like the large energy ball was moving very slowly, it was in fact moving at a speed that allowed it to reach a meter away from Chonk at the instant Harriott was finished with his monologue.

But before the ball could collide with him, Chonk said.

"Horell."

"Do it."

...

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Rather than take a few hours to get back to the alliance, thanks to the [Movement of the Void] which has now been upgraded to X-grade Mortal level due to the Transcending Comprehension Leaf's effects, Aurus was able to cut down the travel time to 15 minutes.

Swish!

As he gradually slowed down, he landed on the center of the hall that served as the entry point for the members of the alliance.

Although he was quite familiar with the alliance, this time around, he felt that the aura surrounding the hall was extremely gloomy, with a hint of fear and despair added into it.

"I feel like something bad has happened," Aurus could not help but say as his gut feeling was strong this time. Just as he was about to call out the name of a member, Herellia came to the large hall and saw Aurus.

"Aurus! I'm glad you're safe!" As Herellia got closer to Aurus, Aurus could not help but become confused as to why she was happy to see him safe.

"Safe? Me? Of course, I'd be safe," Aurus replied, only to be silent for a bit as he pondered ovee the reasons why Herellia would say that. Eventually, he asked, "Did something happen while I was gone?"

"Yeah." Herellia nodded through her aura at Aurus' question. At that instant, Herellia's mood became more solemn as she replied, "We just received the news from Harriott, the leader of the Verdant Nut Alliance, that..."

"The Verdant Nut Alliance is no longer here."
