Redo: Grimoire System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 120 - (120) Back To The Temple

After everyone finished signing in, Geth told the people to assign their Grimoires to one of the available housing units. He gave them the rest of the afternoon and the following day to explore the city.

The facilities were much more ideal than in the Dungeons. Even though the buildings were more like hand-built cabins, they still had Formations for necessities.

Water was available through Formations that could be turned on and off like a faucet. Even a toilet with a Formation inside would disintegrate feces or urine.

Geth enjoyed inspecting the Formations in the houses and even gained a few ideas from them. According to Larz's memory, he had designed these facilities himself, but they'd since been downgraded.

Geth decided that he would continue staying in one of the treehouses. For some reason, he felt more comfortable in them than in the simple structures.

The kids still seemed strange to him, especially Peter. Seeing a three-year-old studying Runes as if he was doing calculus would be strange no matter the situation.

El had put a lot of points into Intelligence, and Til had bought her one of the Goblin's Ice Shard spells. Since that was the only ability she'd had, one of the Talents she'd received helped to enhance her ice magic capabilities.

'I wonder if I would be able to buy a State Change: Water Skill for her?' Geth had already been contemplating what Skills his family and party should get when they upgraded the Tower.

One thing that was desperately needed was more healers. Every party would need one in the future.

'We need to rush to clear these last Dungeons.' Geth sighed to himself. Not everyone could handle being away from their families for long.

Still, he was impatient to get started. From a logical standpoint, what was the point of spending time with your family if they would die from you not completing your objectives quickly enough?

He sighed again before standing up and heading towards the temple. Soon enough, he was sitting on the ground meditating while six of himself ran around in his mental sphere.

Instructions had already been given to all of his citizens. Everyone was to report to the Tower for training with Hulk and the old man. 

Geth learned that the old man's name was Yue. He'd chosen it after some historical martial arts master that he admired.

He intended for himself and his party to set out within the next few days. There were only three Dungeons left to clear in the Region.

Four of his selves worked on unraveling the new simple Formations he'd discovered inside the residences. One continued working with Albus to make a small Formation to keep his form in their shared mental sphere.

The last one had his thoughts on Alise. He hadn't introduced the children or his family to her yet.

'It seems that she does have feelings for both Zolis and me, but the relationship is more for Zolis' benefit than mine. I certainly don't mind, she needs someone she can share her feelings with, and that's something that I'm incapable of.'

Geth's self was floating upside down near the top of the mental sphere while he was thinking. He stroked his beard out of habit.

'Maybe after the Dungeons are cleared, we can discuss things further. I just need to make sure that Alise is up for the commitment and not just the fun.

It is also entirely plausible that her turning to us is just an escape from the trauma she's faced..'

He wasn't worried about Zolis. She was a grown woman and could handle herself.

What he didn't want was for the children to become attached to someone, just for them to leave. The kids came above anyone else outside of their mother.

'I have to admit that I have grown slightly attached to her. Maybe after a bit more time, I'll be willing to commit as well.'

He moved on to other matters and let that issue lie. They could continue having a bit of fun for the time being.

Joining Albus and his other self, he found that they had made significant progress in the Formation.

"Just a few finishing touches, and it should become operational." Albus gestured to the markings they had etched into his mental sphere.

The three of them were currently floating at the very depths of his Mana pool. At this point, it could be compared to a small lake rather than a pool.

The Formation was drawn precisely in the center of the sphere. Geth could already feel the Mana density near it increase slightly.

"What do you need to complete it?" He closed his eyes and allowed his other self's experiences to flow into him. "Ahh, so you just need another of these drawn on the top?"

"That's correct. Once it's drawn, a column should extend between the two and give me a place to anchor when we aren't near this temple.

Your capabilities should increase as well, though there is no telling by how much." Albus shrugged after finishing his statement.

Geth headed up to the tip of the sphere and found the direct center. Another self soon joined him, and the two began drawing the Formation.

It was relatively simple. The Formation was two crescent moons with the tips pointing towards each other.

Once the tips of the moons met, the Runes for Gather and Thought were drawn in their center. The only thing that made it complicated was that the moons had to connect simultaneously.

Still, it wasn't a challenge with two of the exact same minds working on it. They mirrored each other's movements perfectly.

As the final flourishes were placed on the Runes, the edges of the Formation began to turn a deep red. Geth could feel a massive amount of heat coming from it, something he hadn't experienced for a while.

The Mana pool below him began to swirl as the dense liquid began to rush towards the top of the sphere.. Just as the Mana poured into the edges of the crescent moons, something miraculous happened.
