Omni-Mastery

'That gate was really in a very isolated place…'

I was running at even lower than half my normal speed as there was no need to hurry, also in order not to wake up Light, but even after running for a whole half an hour, I still didn't spot a single human being…

'It must have been at the furthest borders of this domain…'

As it seemed to be totally different than the transfer made by the system after I completed the Starter Village tutorial, it seemed like the transfer ability of the Dragon Ancestor could only get me to the closest point of this domain when taking the Light Domain as the take off station…

'Oh, finally!'

Noticing a man riding a horse, speeding ahead as he seemed to be marching in a vertical line that is perpendicular to my path…

"Hey."

"Hah.. hah.. Hmm?"

"Hey…"

"Am I hearing voices… oh no… are they following me?!"

The man looked behind as he seemed to be very anxious about something…

"Where are you looking? I'm right here by your side…"

"Woah!"

"Neighhhhh!"

The man suddenly let go of his control of the horse, startling the horse as he seemed like he couldn't understand the situation…

"Easy there…"

Suddenly releasing a bit of the freezing aura that naturally came along having the Ice attribute, the horse which was just a bit to go berserk stopped in his place as he started shivering from the chill…

"You were just about to fall, get a grip and calm down, I just want to ask you a few questions…"

Removing the chilly aura, I became a bit curious about why the man was in this state, but I was more concerned about getting some information about the closest inhabited place as to start my information gathering.

"What was the chilly feeling that I- and how were you running alongside the horse just now… no! I don't have the time for this, they need my help!"

It seemed as if my words had just entered from one ear and left from the other as the man was still as anxious, and it only seemed that my appearance has just added confusion on the top of his anxiousness…

"Ugh…"

"Calm mind, steady heart, calm mind, steady heart… I need to remember grandfather's words… alright, how can I help you mister stranger, I'm in a bit of a hurry so I would appreciate it if you let me pass, or wait!"

From the talking manners of this man, he just seemed to be a young boy who just didn't know what to do at the moment…

"You seem to be quite strong! Maybe you can help our village!"

"Sure, I can help you as long as it's not too hard, just calm down first and tell me how to get there."

As I was searching for any populated place to start gathering information from anyway, if finding a village meant that I would have to help a little then I didn't really mind…

'If they owe me a favor, it would be easier to get info after all…'

"I would really like to take you there, but the attackers are just too much… even mister  wouldn't be able to handle them all, so I would be really grateful if you just stalled them until I could get help from the sect that lays ahead."

"Well then, you can just tell me the general direction of the village, and I will see what I can do."

It seemed that the anxiousness didn't allow the young man to process that he just sent an unknown man into his village without knowing that man's nature or intentions…

'I guess you are lucky then…'

"you have to…"

Quickly explaining how to head to his village, the young man took his horse which has now regained its senses a bit and continued dashing in the same direction he was heading to from the very beginning.

Hop!

I tapped the ground with my leg, jumping high in the air to check the position of the young man's village…

'There it is.'

Increasing my speed a little bit, I headed in the village's direction.

'About 5 minutes to get there…'

`~~`~~`~~`

Meanwhile, in the biggest house in the village…

"Chief, is it okay to really let him go?"

"Nothing to worry about…"

"What if he really manages to get help, that people of that sect are known for being extremely righteous, weren't they the reason we didn't attack any village in the vicinity before…?"

"Like I said, nothing to worry about. that sect was indeed enough to deter us before, but its people don't really like to get involved with the normal world's matter anyway, besides that 'Lightning'-"

"Oh! Do you mean that lightning bolt that broke out close to the border."

The big man that was sitting on the Throne like chair slapped the slender man on that was standing before him lightly on his shoulder to express his anger.

"You fool, I told you before not to interrupt me while I'm speaking! Yes, the news has already spread around these parts even though it had been less than an hour that the phenomenon was wittinessed, people say that it's likely to be the birth of an extraordinary treasure..."

"Ohhhhh! why aren't we going there to check it then, instead of just taking this village."

"Foolish! You know nothing, as the closest sect to that mountain border, that sect is likely to make use of its location's advantage to go and claim that treasure as its own, bandit groups like us are bound to receive nothing! So instead of just sitting around on our butts, why don't we take this chance to take this village as ours and have some fun while most powers around are chasing that treasure that they most likely won't get?"

"Indeed! As expected of chief! You saw through the whole ordeal in the matter of minutes and ordered this attack! We can definitely enjoy ransacking any village around without any one to stop us!"

"Hurrumph, it's just that you guys are too foolish, I don't know how you would have survived without me to take care of you…"

"Hehe, you are definitely right, chief!"

"Stop with this useless flattery of yours, go and make that useless village chief hurry up with the food and entertainment!"

"Roger Chief!"

`~~`~~`~~`

"Grandpa, will brother be able to really get help…"

"You shouldn't worry too much, silly girl, he will definitely get help from that great sect! These evil bandits will surely face their proper retribution!"

"I really hope so, I don't want them to hurt you more grandpa, you won't be able to handle that much… sob… sob…"

"It will be alright! It will be alrig- cough… cough… It's just a bit of a cold! I will have you know that your grandpa is the strongest! I can handle anything!"

Suddenly a man rushed into the room where the old man and the young girl were talking…

"Village Chief, those terrible bandits are calling for you, they want more food and 'Entertainment'..."

The man was panicking as he delivered the news…

"What do they mean 'Entertainment'! Didn't we already tell them that we won't resist as long as they only take food and money they can take as much as they want but nothing else…"

"Oi, old fogey, why aren't you coming out already…"
