Chapter 259: Mothers (6)

|Author's note: Just a plug here, I got another novel that I'm also posting at least 4 times a week, called 'Forsaken by Heaven', it's non-harem and sort of a new approach even for me, I'm mostly just using it as a learning experience.|

3rd Person POV

"Where's Terrence and Mark?" Rolan asked

After the tournament, a few heroes are left to level up on their own with their own party, the rest of the heroes are finally teaming up with the to-be saints and the rest of their pieces and finally going on their crucial journey to level up and be ready for the demon lord.

They're not supposed to team up this early, but after the few heroes leave, they need some pieces as substitutes to minimize any losses possible.

"It's reported that their last sighting is with Perseus Silver." a noble reported "And even Perseus is currently missing, the only ones who may possibly know where exactly they are are his own family members and their chief, but otherwise closest answers are with the popes who said that they're going to the black rose's altar."

"The moon?" Rowan interjected

Everyone then turned to him.

"That's where Leilah told me she was being kept." Rowan continued "For now, you all should just keep going, none of us know how to go to the moon without my father's or mother's magic."

"The moon, man, that guy is on a better adventure than us." Trevor complained "I want to go there too."

Perseus POV

So I used the yellow rose's room and turned it into a bathroom, I sort of just use magic to reconstruct the many different pieces of furniture in there to recreate many other things, I then took out several chunks of materials to create the bathtub, a shower, sink...etc.

As for the toilet, I just put the waste slime at the bottom to eat or erase any waste, we just have to use water magic to refill the water tank which can flush down the waste, the slime was created by the previous generation of heroes and can be contained in this ball of fiber where you can bring along, they'd eat pretty much anything, and they aren't really a living thing, so put them in a container and in your storage magic, pretty useful.

I checked my jacket and I can see it burnt and destroyed beyond repair, even the enchantment for it to mend itself just completely no longer work, that metallic behemoth was just scary to face against.

As I got into the bath to relax my mind, I can still remember that dragon in the cave, its titan-like body, kinda contrasting its own awesome voice.

I still remember the menacing glare of the automaton dragon which pierces through my very soul, I can still feel a shiver run down my spine. Its mechanical eyes burn with a fierce intensity, fixated on me and Buddy with an unyielding determination to kill us.

Its gaze cast an eerie red glow, illuminating the darkness, and I then remember it scanning me which every fiber of my being tells me that I am an intruder in its world, an unwelcome presence trespassing on its territory.

The dragon's metallic body tenses, ready to unleash its formidable might at a moment's notice. Its jaws revealed rows of sharp metallic teeth glistening in anticipation. The fight was very brief, I'll say that much.

I got out of the shower and think of my next plan of action, maybe I'll just go to the other dungeons on the moon to gather some other things that Jerah kept hidden, maybe I'll contact Jerah somehow and ask hints on how to defeat the dragon.

Monsters like that usually always have one fatal weakness somewhere on their body.

"Maybe I should go gather other 10-star animals to help me."

Buddy then became more alert all of a sudden, he was just floating in the hot bath earlier, but now, he was giving me this panicked look.

"Kidding, I'm not gonna fill the house with any more people, there's just too many at this point. Besides, you're the only one I find somewhat cute."

Well, I think there's enough range for Terrence and Mark to give us support magic past the barrier, and as future saints with blessings of the gods, they'll be useful and should power us up a bit, but...still, an 11th star...damn, if that orb can evolve...it's definitely a vital thing to have for me to become an 11-star mage and take over the world.

I got out of the shower and put on my clothes to join the others for food, currently, we can't just go back, the teleportation between the earth and moon apparently recharges every 3 days, that's a lot of time wasted.

"Well Terrence and Mark, how's your day going?"

"Good, you said that I can join you to go into another dungeon nearby, right?" Terrence replied

"Yup, we'll be walking on the moon's surface and try to find some relics that the moon god left behind, and if I got no use for em, you can have em."

"None of you are shocked about the fact that a being with an 11th star exists?" Mark asked, "That dragon is now arguably stronger than the demon lord, but that's only because I don't know what powers are passed on from one demon lord to another."

"Bro, calm down, you used to be calm and nice, but now you're all panicky and barely tolerable. So calm down, at least you now know that having an 11th star isn't impossible, so you coming? Cuz Jerah will probably build some shrine dedicated to his now ex-wife."

"I regret ever associating with you." he sighs "So just us 3 and the fox?"

"Yeah, the others will stay here and explore whatever Jerah left behind, there could be clues or hints on maximizing our earnings up here. They'll also explore whatever is close by, so we'll go a bit farther and explore the surface a bit, so prepare what y'all need, we're going on a small 2-day trip."
