The Runic Alchemist

This time, Damian directly connected the waygate to Sulthar. When he walked out, the ancient dragon was already looking at the uncontrollable firestorms going all around him as volcanoes erupted and land was constantly shaking.

It would only take a few minutes before this planet’s magnetic field collapsed and the heat rose uncontrollably, with UV and solar rays cooking everything alive. But the tsunamis and earthquakes would devastate the world long before that.

The other four legendary-ranked individuals were also nearby. Damian quickly covered the three people beside him in protective solid mana armor—the temperature here was already too much before he blew up the planet. Sam and Lucian could maybe endure it, but he did not want to test it.

The five pairs of eyes landed on them as Damian closed the waygate and walked a few steps away from the heat-radiating dragon. He didn’t say a word as the earthquake and volcanic eruptions got worse and worse. He did keep the waygate spell ready, though.

“What did you do?” the giant ape asked.

“What I said I would,” Damian replied. “An hour and a little longer till everything ends.”

“What more do you want from us? You have ruined everything!” the red demon said, taking a few steps towards them in fury.

Sam stepped in—staring at the demon until he stopped. The giant ape and the lava monster had a visible change in their body language, showing their will to fight at any second. Damian didn’t look at them, though—his eyes still on the apocalyptic scene going on around them. The legendary-ranked creatures had no restriction to their mana, leaking in massive amounts from their bodies. Sam and Lucian could sense that.

Their hands placed on the white swords strapped to their waists. Before anyone took another step forward, Sulthar unleashed an earth-shaking roar—full of sulfur and bad breath. It lasted for quite some time. Still, Damian was unmoving. Seconds after that, a voice rang directly in Damian’s mind, and by the look of it—he wasn’t alone in receiving this live broadcast.

‘Demon, what is this place you speak of?’

Damian answered loudly, “It’s a dungeon in our world. Honestly, I have no idea what would happen if beings from another world went there. But I already sent thousands of natives from this world there. And we will go there too, after this.”

‘What kind of dungeon?’

“It’s going to be very familiar to this land, actually. It’s based on the history of this world. I have not seen it, but there is even a Sun God bound in chains there in lower levels..”

“Is that true? Our father lives there?” the red demon asked. Something in his voice made Damian feel pity for the guy.

“It’s a dungeon,” Damian replied. “The beings inside are not real, at least that’s what logic would say. This Sun God is younger, still bound in those chains. He might not recognize you.”

“Are those lies?” the giant ape asked. It wasn’t to him, though—it was more like he was asking his companions whether to trust his words or not.

‘Doesn’t matter. We go anyway.’

Damian nodded at the enormous dragon. He canceled the smaller waygate spell and was about to create a giant one but stopped and asked the dragon,

“Is there any chance you can decrease your size?”

The dragon huffed, his red scaly nostrils leaving fire in the air. Then the giant dragon closed his eyes, and his massive form started shrinking visibly. It did not stop at all until the giant dragon had turned into a bearded, muscular, red-scaled humanoid. He still had his dragon features—ember eyes, scaly arms and back, even the flat nostrils and a maroon face.

Good enough.

“We will go to another place first to get the rest of our friends,” Damian warned them before opening a large enough waygate for the giant ape and the lava monster to come through. He tied mana threads to a half-full mana container to keep the spell stable.

Lucian, Sam, Maelor, and Damian looked at each other, then at the blue shimmering waygate, and together they stepped inside. The familiar distortion of vision came and even left in a second—waygate traveling had become barely noticeable with his frequent use and higher rank.

Damian had selected the same island which he had used for the world gathering summit—it was a barren island with only sand and rocks. He did not want to land in London to cause unnecessary havoc.

“Can you wait here for a while? We will be right back with our friends,” Damian said to the five creatures beside him.

Their eyes were staring at the deep blue water all around them, with suspicion clear in them. When Sulthar nodded slightly at him, none of the others voiced any doubts. The ancient dragon had more abilities than any of them had even a sense of knowing. Damian suspected he could sense life on Earth.

Damian then opened the waygate to their base in London. The second they stepped out of the waygate beside the massive tree growing in the middle of their wooden base building, Damian sensed two mana signatures rushing at maximum speed towards him. His face formed a smile automatically.

Seconds later, something falling and breaking’s sound was heard, and then a chubby elephant, constantly teleporting in the air, made a massive leap and landed directly in Damian’s arms. A moment later, a round-shaped grey-colored golem arrived on the scene too—he was the culprit behind things falling and breaking. He flew, activating the runic spells inscribed on his metal body. Then kneeled beside him, as if waiting for him to acknowledge its presence. So cute.

Toph and Jacob.

Damian patted the round golem as Toph rolled around in his arms in excitement. Mindseer and others also came soon after. Elias, Lumi, Reize, Kamisen, Karl, and Evante were with Mindseer. They greeted each other. The happy reunion lasted for a while, then Damian walked outside with everyone.
