Master Of None

2081 2081. Like A Snap

The world seemed to be holding its breath after Remey had said this. What had been a battle the moment ago was suddenly a frozen in time moment. A moment that seemed to be inching along while the rest of time was just waiting to see if it should take the next step. "He refused to swear on the world, right? He refused to swear on everything he is, right? But I will. My family would do the same too. They would all swear that to help you because its the right thing to do." "We are repairing the world. Then you should have a wway to get through the pain you have been surviving so far. That's why it is all wrong. The world is just a piece of everything cut off from how it should be because the demon lord caused it all." "He broke it and caused all this. There were no sin title holders back then. They appeared after. Plenty of negative titles began appearing then. Can't we fix that?" while Remey wasn't sure of the truth of her worlds, they flowed from her mouth nonetheless. She believed it too. So many things she had learned from Walker and while they unraveled these mysteries was clear. That so many of the wrongs of the world had cause and effect. The demon lord causing trouble had broken many of the aspects of the world that were still blossoming. Someone going against the very core of the world offering them a path to travel, even rejecting their race by throwing everything aside, had caused untold damage. The flow of mana had suffered in those times. The connection to where those manas were purest had been broken off. Shattered. The chaos of war that also rocked the world at the time had just caused it all to grow even worse. Since then, the races had grown weaker in overall strength. The ancient monsters disappeared. It was because the world was not growing alongside them any longer. It was stagnating. Weakening. Sloth's eyes grew wide. Mana shivered around him yet again. This time though, his eyes changed to focus right on Remey's looking for anything else that could be found. Any other words or emotions. Literally relying on the mana around him to decide how try these statements were. "He rejected the world. Said that swearing on it would only grow an imperfect system that steals the strength of the strong. That brutalizes the kindness they may gift. That the world shouldn't have control like a real god over everything. That even the god system holders should perish since they were living under the complete control of an untouchable will. Pen that could care less about the real desires of those living with it." Each word carried a venom with it. Vile venom filled with hatred. Yet, Sloth also had a slight tinge of sadness in his voice. It made water mana drip down around him and a slow pool of water flowed along the floor. Barry had stood up at this point, but had frozen in place. His ax still grasped in his hand, but unable to lift it. Not because the mana was too much, but because he could not understand what he was doing. He should be fighting here. Not speaking. But why did his body resist him? His instincts said that he was about to tread on a cruel path if he were to make a move and attack. That he would spill innocent blood. "That when he called out the corrupt mana, we could use it against the world that oppressed all of us. That decides our fate in every aspect. That tortures us for its own entertainment."

"The cost would be a few lives, but for the future, those lives were nothing by comparison." This seemed to get worse and worse as Sloth spoke them. The words almost coming to life so that they could mock him. Control him. "Will you do that? Become the monster everyone believes you to be with your sin title? Or can you change that and show the world that the title is not evil at all. That it needs to return itself to the flow of existence to fix its wrongdoings?" "Because when he calls out all that mana from the space between the elemental planes and the world, the world will not exist any more. It will become a ravaged and wild place of death and despair. Until no one lives at all." The mana shook again and a wave of joined manas pushed Reney back. She didn't stop though. She stepped right back up. Her face pale and the slight drip of blood from her nose making things even more dire. But she still stood there. A hand held out. Her fists no longer clenched. "As existence as my witness, I will rid this place of corrupted mana and return to slumber. The hero will give her being to ensure that my curse is lifted entirely. If not, may my mana run rampant upon all that is." Sloth spoke. a n almost quiet voice as his eyes closed and the manas suddenly calmed. Remey caught Sloth as he fell forward snoring. The corrupted mana splitting itself apart in to elemental manas. All of them being forcefully calmed in a chain reaction. The same was for the corrupt floating city. The runes breached all the way as they lost their control and elemental manas split apart from them. Stone crumbled. Remaining buildings shattered in to dust. The city began to fall. On the battlefield, the corrupted undead monsters stopped regenerating. The false death runes fading away all over them. Leaving just corrupted undead that could be beaten much more easily. "How did you…" Barry didn't have a chance to say more. He had not expected this outcome. Nor had he imagined anything like this would happen. He was ready to lose his life but he had not even considered throwing out the lies of the demon lord who had used and abused the sin title holders. He had failed here in the clearest of days while Remey had shown her wisdom. Shown him the very reason why she was a hero title holder. She was not some brute that fought with her fists. Nor was she someone that only focused on making potion after potion in an alchemy lab. Remey was a hero title holder that was willing to offer everything to help someone. Anyone that needed it. This was a hero and the world had given her the title for this very reason. To end a fight that could kill many, in seconds. She would keep her promise, it was written in all that was. On the ground, many saw the sudden changes. The corrupted undead that were not regaining their bodies pushed the Genesis forces in to a massive advancement in to the frosted ruins. They all understood that the corrupted floating city had been defeated. The flailing city veered off in to the water even more. The mass of stone would cause a large wave of water to push on to the island. However, Current and the water mages were already acting. Leon had already sent out warnings to the aquatic forces. They would stop any potential danger here. The rush of manas also put the mages in to overdrive. They could feel the manas were more dense than what they had been. The corrupted mana had also been pushed away. Stopping the debuff that the entire area had been under. Walker sensed this the strongest out of everyone. He could feel that the massive amount of mana which had been flowing within the corrupted floating city had ceased. That the corrupted mana had somehow unraveled itself and become just the components of what it had once been. It was an astounding feeling. He had not been able to easily counter the corrupted mana with natural mana yet. He had not been able to control the chaotic mana. Yet, somehow the corrupted mana had been stopped like it was a snap of a finger. But whatever had happened was perfect. Berry and Remey had somehow managed to do whatever needed to be done. And now, the corrupted city was no longer spilling out corrupted mana that fueled the corrupted undead monsters around. It had also removed the resistance of the corrupted mana to the Genesis forces. Now those that were injured could be healed more easily. The forces could step ahead better than before. "Genesis forces! We will change ahead and find the demon lord. Bring him to justice!" Walker's roar of determination shook the air. He was sure that they would be able to fight much better now. He just needed to get to the demon lord and handle the issues there.
