A mana storm is a phenomenon when a vast amount of mana suddenly floods an area, but it does not usually happen at a scale that if affects the entire continent. Adrian told them that thy needed to return to Avalon first as he would need to ask the elders for help. All of them returned with him to the territory with all the demons suddenly being deployed.
"I thought you would never come. I have already told you that you must return immediately when a mana storm rises." Ascalor stated as he suddenly appeared before Adrian and his friends.
"I can as soon as I could, but this mana storm is not something that occurred naturally but induced by humans." Adrian stated as Ascalor's face suddenly turned sour.
"What is a mana storm?" Frey asked as she was not that familiar with it and has only been told in passing by the Valkyries. The others were curious as well which is why Adrian told them to listen to his explanation while they go to the central control area.
"A mana storm is something that occurs when special circumstances occur in nature. We have already experienced a mana storm before when the world limit was broken when the Gate to the Silver City was opened. The mana storm that resulted in opening Heaven's gate was not that great as we were helped by the gods." Adrian stated.
"What is different from a natural one and a man-made one then? Ascalor's face changed when you said that it was induced." Levin Cloud asked.
"If this mana storm is created by humans by summoning a god forcefully then we will not do anything about it. If it is a natural occurrence because of gates and spatial fractures, then we will move. If it was created by humans, then we will not do anything and let karma be their judge." Adrian stated.
"What about the innocent people that were just caught up in it?" Peridot asked.
"They are unfortunate people as we do not move for the populace but the stability of the realm. If a few thousands of people die, then that is their fate as it was fellow humans that created the misfortune. Everything in the world has an effect as the world itself uses Karmic forces to keep it balanced." Adrian stated.
"Is that really fair? Do you agree as well?" Frey asked as she wanted to know what Adrian thinks of the situation.
"Let me put it in perspective then as it seems you are thinking of me as heartless. Anything that humans did should be solved by humans themselves. I would say the same if they are elves or any other race because that is how the world creates strong characters.
Us, the Daemos, are merely beings that need to keep everything in order so that everything else does not fall apart. Like now, a mana storm being created in the western continent means that a lot of spatial fractures would occur where worlds under dark gods and distorted gods get connected. We make sure that we keep all those that are not supposed to be here out of this world.
If the beings in this world chose to become extinct then we will not do anything to save them. We protect the stability of the dimension and we have been doing so since the beginning of time. We might be able to help everyone if we are many but the Daemos only number in the thousand." Adrian explained as they reached the tent.
| Frey understood what Adrian told her as even the Valkyries have duties. She is also not the heroine that saves the day at every instance. She thought that Adrian and the Daemos were extremely powerful as they could bend time and space but only realize now that they also bear the most burden.
"Equinox is already here. Let us now start the meeting on what we all will do." Koronn stated.
"I would like to make a suggestion first." Adrian stated.
"Let us hear it then." Bronx stated.
"I would like to deal with the Vessel of Apophis before the Distorted God Apophis fully descends." Adrian stated which made the others raise their eyebrows.
"Explain." Ascalor stated.
"The mana storm is due to the fact that the Distorted God Apophis is descending into the mortal realm. If a god that huge descends then numerous spatial rifts would occur every second but we can put it to an end if we kill the Vessel of Apophis." Adrian stated.
"So, you are saying that you will eliminate the source of the conflict? That is not a bad idea for me." Koronn stated as he did not like troublesome things.
"You do know that we also need your help in maintaining the dimension. This mana storm would destroy a large chunk of the dimension when it grows stronger. We would need to cover all directions of the western continent to keep the dimension stable." Ascalor stated.
"Your friends could do what you wanted to do. We need you in stabilizing the dimension. The other demons have already started to fly towards the western continent as we speak. We cannot teleport to an area that is near the western continent because we would just add more damage than restoring it." Bronx stated as he also did not like Adrian's idea.
"I think that we should let him do it, but we can give you twenty minutes at most." Koronn stated which made the other two elders stare at him.
"Twenty minutes might not be enough, but we would use it as much as we can." Adrian stated.
"Make sure to get in your position once your twenty minutes are up. Let us go then. We would need to move now or else the mana storm might rip a hole in the fabric of reality." Ascalor stated as he created a gate as he is the only one that has the most stable spatial magic amongst all of them.
