Alice had been focused on the injured from fighting the larger wyverns that were now bowing their heads to the strength of the wyvern queen's call. The amount of mana that had been used by her to call them here was nothing small. It was a very powerful skill that must be because she was their strongest and their queen. A call that Walker was sure that some other royal system users could use in times of need. The pressure from the royal dragons had been that need.
Yet, the wyverns dared not move another muscle. That was how ingrained this strength and power was to them. The wyvern queen had such power which could even halt the most powerful of them. While the royal dragons were impressed, they were more appalled by what they had just seen.
"I could not sense that monstrosity!" Ignus was raging with anger. It was one thing that they had fought wyverns. But it was another that they had finally found a solution to their issues and were doling out punishment to then be interrupted. It was a sin for them, royal dragons, to be ignored and mocked by some wicked demon and his slime.
"None of us felt or saw that thing. It was camouflaged in a smaller form before revealing itself." The tone that Rise used was one that leaked of her anger. Forget the wyvern issues, the fact that they had just been ambushed in an attempt to kill off a powerful monster now under their control? An insult to every dragon.
"This was in draconic ruins. In our history. Whether or not we have issues with these wyverns is of no concern. We were attacked in a home territory. We will not let this rest." Both Current and Ventus was saying the same thing when it came to this. Their agreement was going back and forth while they controlled their anger. Mordant was similar, however, he was observing and searching the remainder of the area they were in.
"Hurry the healing. Where is that alchemist!" Terron saw Remey and acknowledged that she was the alchemist that had shown off so many potions and cures for poisons. He didn't care that she was slightly cut and covered in dust from battle. Instead, he wanted her healing.
"I am already here. Walker, bring out the potions and the cauldron. Ignus, I need your flames. We are going to make a condensed healing potion for this wyvern. A small potion will do nothing for her." Remey was ignoring her soreness. She had been hit with stone and other damage during the distraction battles. Many of the life mages and healers were focused on soldiers because of the same injuries.
"My flames? That's all you want? What are-" Ignus was about to release his anger on those around him until he felt the murderous anger from Terron. This was a definite sign that Terron was unwilling in all essence to move from his stance here. Especially since he had been the one pushing forward on this matter.
It wasn't just the bond of earth affinity beings that Terron saw. He had learned some things from Genesis and understood that the dragons had been stuck in place for too long. The wyverns were like the dragons. A race that had the ability to be powerful and more than met the eye. Yet, they were about to follow the dragon's path and become stuck in stone. It would be an insult to the dragons from where the wyverns came if the wyverns lived the exact same lifestyle for hundreds of years.
"Walker, you will heal as well." Terron knew that Walker had skills that were very useful. Especially since he had seen Walker constantly using the smaller healing skills on everyone.
"I wasn't planning on standing around. We already worked together to defeat that acid slime lord. We will hunt down the slime breeder soon. But I want Ventus and Current to search for what may have been solemn. Why would the slime tamer send slimes to get something? What did they need?"
Refocusing the issues on hand was all Walker needed to do. Hearing that something may have been stolen from the ruins or the wyverns made them much angrier. Even Current was showing a disgusted look as he changed forms to search the smaller spaces and start ordering his dragonkin around. Ventus followed suit because she was sure that what was stolen could be more of a threat in their enemy's hands than where it had been.
"Hey, can you hear us?" Walker approached the wyvern queen and saw the true extent of the damage the acid had done. Some of the bone spikes that naturally grew on her body had been damaged but her scales were far worse off. They had been meted to expose a lot of the muscles underneath. Defenses were far from possible now that she had been hurt this badly.
"I will be using water to clean your wounds while we make potions. You are being guarded by the strongest of dragons right now. Do not worry about your eggs, you protected them." Walker had shown strength and pressure as the other dragons had just minutes ago. However, this was where he had to change.
If Walker continued that hostile attitude and did not show that he had kindness, he would not be able to live up to being a hero in any regard. He would just be some bully that was going around with false promises. Someone forcing his ideals on others without understanding them. Especially if he ignored the simple fact that this was a mother that wanted the best for her children. That was a very clear and large part of who the wyvern queen was.
'Emergency quest- wyvern race savior
The wyvern queen wishes to be the same as the dragons. Powerful, have their own bloodline, and be a recognized race by the world. Her desires are that of a true queen even though her methods could be frowned upon. Regardless, she was able to throw her life down for her children as any mother would.
Requirement- save the wyvern queen's life at all costs.
Reward- advancement in the wyvern bloodline, the one time use skill; glance to the past.'
The system quest was nothing to worry about. Walker glanced for a second at it but dropped any care for it as he was already healing the wyvern queen. He was simultaneously using his healing skill while creating water from the air to wash away any acid from the slime that might still be around.
He could tell that the wyvern queen was still alive and somewhat conscious. She was showing pain in every move that Walker did to help her. But she was still solid in her foundations to protect her eggs. The earth had risen under her to cover them in stone. The nest had lost its shape as materials for her sudden usage of mana.
Alice's song was causing the light mana to rain down with Walker's water. The melding of the two skills made him wonder just what Alcie was singing about. His ears couldn't pick up on any words though. But her meaning came through. The feeling of spring rain that would bring the world to life after the cold winters. The feeling of knowing that the water around was moving to bring life to crops. It was that which pushed Walker to bring natural mana in to the air around him.
As Walker made the eternal orb change form to a staff, he was able to bring the natural mana around toward it. This was dispersing the natural mana evenly around the wyvern queen completely. When a life mage rushed to his side, Walker didn't hesitate to motion for the life mage to hold the eternal orb staff form with him.
As this was done, the natural mana flooded the life mage's body. This drew the crystal healer as well who again was motioned by Walker to share in the mana he was gathering. The two were feeling a rush of mana in their bodies. They had not felt such a thing. The life mana and the healing skills they used reacted in such a powerful way that they believed they had to use their skills or else they would be overloaded.
Without hesitation, green healing skills were released around as Remey and Ignus had begun to create condensed potions. Their work was quick due to the extreme heat of Ignus's flames. So much so that Remey was having a hard time adding potions to the cauldron fast enough. The water building out of the potions was making a deep red healing potion that would normally cause someone to become ill if they even dared to consume it. Even the greatest medicine could be poison depending on the usage.
The goal was simple and shared by all of them. Heal, save, and then hunt down the perpetrator. But this was not all so simple. They needed to focus on healing right now. Especially since they were all able to feel the encroachment of death on the wyvern queen's body. The feeling that she could slip away at any moment. This feeling had been familiar with the entire part and the royal dragons. Anyone that had seen the sick or the ill. Even if they had defeated a monster in battle. The feeling of imminent death was able to be picked out by anything alive.
