"You can clone yourself?"
asked a bewildered Sylphy. Alex, being himself just shrugged in response.
"That is interesting, indeed."
Ariel commented already coming up with a plan.
suddenly standing up, she grabbed Alex by the arms and dragged him to the corner.
"So what's your plan?"
She whispered bringing a hand to her mouth as if to prevent the two others from listening.
"I need a few normal swords, a few hoods and an errand to send Sylphy to."
She pondered for a little before saying what she came up with.
"ill send her into the forest to gather an ingredient, you intercept them along the way, I have a map of the nearby forest, we can pick the place there."
Alex nodded with a pondering look, stroking his chin like a wise sage.
"yes, and while in we battle, I will "Injure" her, she will have to take off her clothes to bandage the "Wound"."
the smirks the two had on their faces unnerved the two others in the room. Sylphy suddenly felt really nervous about her dignity.
"But what if your brother..."
Ariel started, wondering how to phrase it nicely.
"Chickens out."
Alex supplied helpfully causing her to chuckle a bit.
"yes, we need a failsafe in case he backs out."
Alex sighed, He guessed it was inevitable, rain would suffice. it wouldn't do if he used his spells to cool the place down, Rudeus would feel his Holy power if it was that close. they would have to hire a few magicians.
on the other side of the room, Sylphy leaned over to luke to whisper.
"Maybe I should tell Rudy myself Afterall, their smiles unnerve me."
Luke couldn't help but nod in agreement, watching them right now gave him a weird feeling, like tao villains plotting how to take over the world.
"maybe you shou-"
he was cut off when Ariel started walking towards them.
___
the plan was to take place in a week, he just didn't want to do it the very next day, which would seem very suspicious.
"Hey, Alex... Do you, well I don't know, want to go to class for once?"
That was Eris. The sweet, Innocent... okay not so innocent Eris. Who needs to go to school? guh Normies... but really, their vacation was over... and he haven't been to the special class for a while too.
"...I guess, but it's not like they can teach us anything, I mean, were silent casters, we don't need chants..."
Eris just shrugged, it was a good point. They were practically on another level... that was arrogant. they were just too good. with the rate, Alex was coming up with new spells and the Rate Eris was learning, he could honestly say... they could start teaching in the school they were going to.
"Has there been any progress with Nanahoshi? any new items?"
For some reason, she was very interested in his old world, the first time they summoned a tire, she actually stared at it for a few seconds before she started asking questions.
"Hey, I haven't seen Ace in a while. Where is he?"
Alex spread out his holy energy in the search for his dragon... He was on the cliffs... what was he doing there?
-With Ace-
he was standing in front of a few dragons of this world... more like winged lizards. they were weak, nothing like himself, even if he was not old or wise, he was powerful.
And he was proving it right now.
With a roar, one of them lunged forward, aiming for him. he was expecting him to come for a bite but raised an amused eyebrow when a pillar of flames came from its mouth.
Opening his own mouth, Ace adds a bit of holy power into his flames and watches in satisfaction as the blue flames overpower his opponents.
taking advantage of the smokescreen, he dashed forward, opening his mouth yet again to chomp down on the Red wyvern's neck.
Teeth sink into the neck, scales shattering at his bite and blood seeping out, with one final chomp he bites its head off.
Yes, he decided, having this Holy power that he's able to use is very pleasant to use. the power it provides is an edge he can use against enemies to protect his family.
looking at the other Red wyverns, he watches them closely as they circle around him.
with a roar, the three engage in combat.
that day there were three less wyverns in the world.
