Chapter 1053: 1055. Escaped

Walker rummaged through the storage that he had completely forgotten about in his panic. He had the communication crystals that Scylla had given him a long time ago. They had never been needed until now. He was sending silent thank yous to Scylla while he began to infuse his mana in to it. "Return to the outskirts of Genesis immediately. We need to go and get something to save the city. Under no circumstances are you to enter the city. If you find Alma and the enforcers bring them too." The crystal broke in to pieces as he finished his rushed message. He knew that Scylla would react with haste. Especially since she had to know that her king was still in the city.
Now all he had to do was prepare a small camp for anyone that was coming toward the city. If more people ended up affected by Greed's curse. It would also make Genesis a city that no one was willing to travel to ever again. What was even scarier though, was the fact that this could mean more demons could show up and take over the lands around Genesis city. That would be the largest demon inversion to date. 
"Walker!" The gut wrenching shout cause Walker to nearly drop his jaw before he understood it was Su who was limping toward him. 
"Su! SUUUU!" Using all of his strength, Walker sprinted to Su and helped her. He could see that she had somehow been injured on her left leg but other than that she was alright for the most part. "What happened? How are you safe? Let me heal you!" The words spilled from Walker's mouth in a frenzy of worry and happiness that Su was not in the same state as everyone else. 
"I resisted a curse. The system said I was resisting a curse but it couldn't penetrate my magical defenses. But the more I resisted the more it seemed to try again. Then this pale demon showed up and said that I would be his possession whether it was now or later. But he was bloated and tall. It was an abomination." The sickly look that Greed had was long gone. The energy he had stolen from others was warping his body further. 
"Let me explain it to you. I was able to get out before Greed's curse got to me too. There are a few guards that escaped as well. I am trying to get Scylla back here and Alma too. We need to get to the deserts but with your leg, I'm not sure I can heal it enough." There weren't any broken bones but it was clear that Su had run in to something fairly tough. Her leg was cut and badly bruised. 
"Just give me a high tier healing potion and heal me. I will deal with the consequences. Too many people are…It's not right. I should be there to defend them. I can even feel Midnight being affected…" Tears streamed from Su's eyes. She had never failed so greatly in her life. She failed to protect everyone including her family. This was a crushing blow to her very core. She had always done her best to defend everyone that she could, even before a hero title. 
"Listen to me. Su, we are going to the desert. We couldn't block this curse but we can seal away the person causing it. Greed is an old demon with a title that must be sealed. Just stand by me and keep pushing. You are doing more than defending now. You are rescuing. This was an attack that happened even before we felt it starting. You can do this." The sureness and power in Walker's voice showed Su just how he felt. It was enough to shut her tears down immediately. She was feeling her heartbeat with walkers for everyone currently trapped in the city. 
"He's right. We came here because we heard the heroes were starting a new city. We came because you can do the impossible. Because of you, we have real jobs and a purpose higher than just one person. We will be here to guard the city. It's your job to bring the reinforcements we need to do that. Please believe in our hope." The guards all saluted Su and Walker causing them both to feel their will strengthening.

"You will report this to Scylla and Alma. They will catch up with us. Walker will show you the route we will follow. Walker, tell me the plan." Su clenched her jaw and began to watch as Walker showed the map in the journal that the elf queen had given him. He then mirrored it on a map he had in his inventory to hand over to the guards. 
"We need to cross the mountain pass here and enter the desert. Then we are only a few days walk from there to the ruined mage tower. The problem will be getting in to the tower and to the buried level that Greed was once sealed in. That's the only chance at finding the metal tablet with the sealing magic in it." There was a slim chance that they would find nothing. However, Walker could feel this was the right decision to make. 
"You say that greed was sealed before. How did he escape? Do we know?" This question had been one that the guards and Walker had not been ready to raise. 
"I have no idea. That might be a problem we face when we get there. For now, we just need to get you healed and ready to head out." Walker focused on healing Su's leg. He made some ice with his magic to keep it from swelling. His mind hovered on Alice, his parents, his sister, the rest of the party, and everyone that was suffering in the city he saw as the future.
