Chapter 234: Clean Up

The boundless sky split apart as a massive figure flew at supersonic speeds through the thick ashen clouds, producing sonic booms as it speeds by. Flying monsters actively avoided this massive figure as it flew through the skies unhindered.

“I guess it doesn’t need that many skills as a type of lesser dragon Huh.”

Tyler muttered to himself atop the Dark Shadow drake with vague interest as Erin clung tightly onto him with her eyes closed, actively trying not to think about what she was currently standing on. 

He had decided to ride on the massive dragon-like creature’s back to the castle due of a variety of reasons even though he know all too well how Erin felt about being close to the undead.

To be fair, he had offered to send Erin back via teleportation but she had refused. She could’ve also left by herself with her source return skill. 

She had insisted on accompanying him to the very end as his chosen escort even against her fears towards the undead. She had bravely climbed atop this one but her resolves had failed her as she couldn’t even keep her eyes open and was clinging tightly to him.

His reason for choosing this method of travel over the others was to experience the max speed of the Drake. Besides, just the idea of riding a dragon even if it was only a lesser one was trilling enough that he couldn’t resist. 

Before leaving the Farbelt Pass, he had manipulated the fate of the event to unfold there. If he did it correctly, at least one Hunter was now destined to survive and report back to the city Lord as well as the Merchant and Hunter Guild Leaders. 

Perhaps his unplanned involvement would complicate the issue even more but the basis of his plan should still be viable. The trip back to the Darknar region’s Greyad plains took less than 6 hours on Drago and they met the Azure Dragonflies busily being overworked by Tarka who didn’t seem to like them to begin with. 

The miners he had sent here earlier had been given a tent to camp in and they were being well taken care of. In only a few hours, Darren and Gerl had gotten the Kobolds to perform way faster than they had been up to this point. 

The layout for the future city was being constructed. It seems they wanted to set up the roads before designing any actual buildings. They had even designated a place where the red River could be diverted and made to flow through the city. 

The red River was a filthy place but with Erin’s new abilities, purifying the entire River shouldn’t be a problem. Although he may have to clear out all the monsters living in there first.

As he thought of what to do next, Tyler noticed Loriel and Tarka had broken into a fierce argument about something trivial. There was no real animosity between them but they just can’t seem to get out of each other’s way.

Tyler sighed inwardly and decided not to interfere with those two. They should be able to figure it out soon as neither of them would willingly cause him trouble. He then left Drago with the settlement as he tasked his newly named Drake with the Town’s area defenses. 

He would also be able to protect the weak Dragonflies from flying beasts and his presence alone should deter many potential threats just as it had done on their flight here. This was the king of the pass after all.

Having completed his task here, Tyler decided to take his leave. He had planned on returning to the castle so he could practice some martial arts moves and learn some secret techniques. 

However, he quickly changed his mind as he decided he would clean up the Red River immediately. Allowing the dwarves to get everything over with. 

Seeing as he was fixing things today even though nothing had gone as planned, he decided he would do this simple job so as to cap the day off with a clean win. 

Teleporting with Erin to the Red River, Tyler asked Uriel about the length of the River and was surprised. The Red River crossed the entire Darknar region which was larger than multiple large countries from earth.

Choosing not to give up, Tyler decided he would attempt on clearing out the monsters in the River in one go and if that didn’t work, he could then try doing it section by section. 

This was the middle of winter and the temperature was in the negative even though Tyler’s body was naturally regulated by his mana and now Uriel. Still, it was almost as cold ad the attic, and yet the Red River had never been frozen even once.

Although the water right now was incredibly cold, it was still in its liquid state without any signs of ice. The reason for this was the thousands of monsters living in the River. 

There were now aquatic monsters living in the River after their rapid evolution over the years. Their combined body temperature was enough to keep the water liquid and some of them even had skills that heat the water around them at the perfect temperature for their survival.

However, Tyler didn’t need any of them and they were now nothing more than fit to be despised. Using Gyro telekinesis, he grabbed hold of everything solid in the River and slowly lift them. 

To his amazement, his reach had spanned the entire region even though it was consuming a tonne of mana. However, thanks to his last mana reserves increase and Erin’s life force inducements, he could currently handle this with no problem. 

Half of what he had otter out of the entire river was alive and a half was just mud, dirt, vines, and waste. The monsters he had pulled out varied in strength but on average they weren’t that strong.

They ranged from Basic to Advanced class, with only a few of them being worth Tyler’s attention. Tyler bundled the dirt into a large ball and did the same with the living monsters. 

Although he had hesitated after pondering the thought of what would happen to the ecosystem if he got rid of all the aquatic life in the River.

However, Uriel had assured him that there would be no permanent damage to the ecosystem as the Red River was connected to other rivers in various other regions and the monsters had only mutated in the darknar region. 

Two massive balls of dirt and monsters floated in the air in various parts of the region far from Tyler’s actual location but he could still see them quite well. 

The more powerful ones put up a fight in an attempt to break free of his grin but their efforts were in vain as Tyler squeezed them tightly together to make for the perfect target. 

“Grand Fireball.”

A tier five version of the fireball spells as Tyler was hoping there would be a difference but that was not the case. He had indeed wasted three spell slots on these spells.

The massive fireball crashed into the ball of monsters on a powerful impact as it proceeded to roast more than 10,000 monsters but it had only killed half of them. The other half ferociously lashed out sending attacks upon attacks at their unseen enemy but Tyler was too far from them to be concerned. 

Still, their trashing was loosening his grip on them but Tyler didn’t think about that right now. The fact that he had been unable to kill 10,000 enemies in one go had annoyed him a bit but perhaps he had chosen the wrong spell for the job.

He hadn’t wanted to use any of the dark elements as he didn’t want them to go out of control again. Perhaps he needed to learn a new spell or maybe could just improvise with the abilities he currently had. 

The most flexible abilities he had that could be applied here were his energy manipulation skill and the tier 5 spell Heat-seeking arrows. 

The reason why he rarely used magic arrows spells was that they didn’t have enough penetration power against beings that didn’t have a glaring weakness like the Frost Salamanders.

However, the fundamentals of the spell could be very useful to him if he could combine the homing abilities of the Heat-seeking arrows with his incredibly penetrating magic bullets, he may get something truly spectacular. 

He tried altering both formulas which was a tasking and tedious process as he needed to find the right runes to integrate into the skill. However, he currently wasn’t in the best position to think of this even though he had the skill Magic Prodigy to help him. 

However, there was no need for him to do it himself as Uriel was an artificial intelligence that could make such calculations in an instant. Tyler then explained what he wanted her to do and the next moment he received a positive report. 

{Analysis and reconstruction completed. A new sub-skill for Energy manipulation has been acquired.}

♦️♦️♦️♦️

•Gyrating Soul Bullets•

Creates an infinite number of spiraling magic bullets that lock in on the target’s soul/core. When fired, they would locate and destroy their targets with a continuously accelerating speed until impact. 

♦️♦️♦️♦️

‘Perfect.’

Upon receiving the skill, Tyler immediately activated it. The number of bullets he could create depended on how much mana he used in the process of activation and he could also decrease or increase their sizes based on what he needed them to do.

Over 5,000 arrowhead-like bullets appeared in the air around him and upon locking on their targets, they shot in that direction at supersonic speeds and only kept getting faster. They could eventually reach and surpass light speed if the target was able to keep evading them for long.

However, these targets were unmoving thanks to Tyler and were instantly riddled with holes. The strength of the skill was stronger than he had expected as even the tier 5 magic beasts amid the tight ball had died the instant the bullets penetrated their skulls.

Tyler couldn’t help but smile at his success, he quickly extracted the magic cores and crystals from more than 10,000 monsters using Gyro telekinesis even though more than half of them would be useless to him as they were only Tier 1 core. 

Having stored the cores and magic crystals in his storage space, he tossed the two large balls into the sky with a flick of his fingers yet it seemed he had used too much force as the balls had left the atmosphere.

Still, Tyler could still reach them so he pulled them back and created a black hole to cleanly clean up the mess. For some reason, he had a bad feeling about tossing monsters into space. 

However, something else happened. Having been pouring a shit load of mana into his Gyro Telekinesis, he miscalculated on the amount of energy he needed to create the black hole and in an instant.

Winter ended.

Well, that wasn’t exactly accurate, however, the black hole he created had pulled in everything in the sky and collapsed almost as fast as it had appeared. The thick grey clouds that spanned the entire sky as far as the eyes could see were now completely cleared.

For the first time in a while, Tyler saw the beautiful evening sky and could even make out the stars even though the sun was still up.

“Huh, isn’t this bad.”
