I was loving walking in the streets of this city, this whole city has a strong concentration of spatial magic and I thought it was for its defenses or to keep it in place, but it seems that it's not just for that.
I just realized when I landed in the city that it is bigger inside than I was seeing from the outside, there is a powerful expansion magic within the city, this easily could be the biggest city I have visited since I was born in this world, the number of people walking around the city was also amazing, the strength of each of them was also something I couldn't take lightly.
When I arrived at this my first thought was to get loyal companions to survive, this thought was what made me save Diana and by accident érica at that time, it was also the same thought that made me help Kira when I had every reason to just kill her, without count the ridiculous mission where I took Irina and Irius as prisoners, I could have killed them both and still made them my children knowing that this would be a problem in the future.
Even most of the others I met because of that thought of having many loyal companions, that's why I bought so many slaves in Valen City and kept looking for opportunities to gather more people.
I always thought that the power of a single individual would not be able to go against a large enough army, but that was a naive thought, it wasn't wrong I was just being naive in measuring the scale of how far one's power could go.
With my strength now, I could fight with the entire population of the Morror Continent with the exception of the Elf Queen there, that's because no one there has surpassed the Lesser Catastrophe Grade of power.
An army will always have a numerical advantage, but without a sufficient individual power level in its ranks, the numbers will be irrelevant.
I look around Border Town as we walk down the street to a spot where we stand for a few minutes until a bird-shaped chariot appears, a golem-like vehicle that we board with our guides to fly around town.
I realized that if all the people in this city attacked us I would lose in a crushing and humiliating way, more than half of the Auras I felt were just nightmares from the strength of mine, but there were also hundreds with Auras of the same level as me and I could feel it some areas without moving Aura that I defined as being people much stronger than me hiding their presence, there were dozens.
The strength of this city could literally conquer the world, I don't know if it could, but they certainly have the strength and numbers to try.
"I didn't know this world had so many strong people, why do they gather here in such large numbers?" (I)
"These people are not all from this world, many are here for training, trade, or something else, I am here to train myself." (Tinary)
"In this star system, there are 14 habitable planets, and the vast majority of these people come from these worlds, I must admit that many must be from this world yet, this world has always been abnormal with the number of its forces." (Tinary)
"Looks like we're here." (Tinary)
I wanted to ask her more things, but then the Golem vehicle stopped in front of a building made entirely of gray crystal, then climbed to the top where a house made of gray and blue crystal bricks blended together into something incredible.
We were taken inside and found to a surprise when opening the door, it was a sprawling lawn containing a beautiful little empty villa.
I was surprised enough to look at the blue sky inside the house and turn my head to see the starry sky that surrounds the entire Border Town.
"I hear it's everyone's first time in this town, so Ortiz can guide you from here and answer your questions, now I have to go, I wish you all luck." (Tinary)
After the winged Mermaid left I spent a few minutes talking with Ortiz who explained a few things, the space inside the apartments, houses, and mansions throughout this city has the magic of expanded space, and he also told me that the sky he was seeing was just a illusion to generate greater comfort for residents since the city's sky never changed.
I asked if I could open my Dungeon in here and he said yes, he also said that I probably wouldn't be the only Dungeon Master here in town to do something similar.
I decided to ask Ortiz about something I missed, which was the reason we took a transport when we could fly and he exiled me that almost everyone within the city is capable of flying or has more unique movement techniques if only everyone could go and to come as they please would be disastrous in everyday life.
People in this city can walk wherever they want, and they can also run in moderation, but flying or using any kind of movement technique in this city is prohibited to avoid accidents.
After thinking about the people I saw until I got here I can understand, with the strength of those people flying using magic, Spiritual Runes, magic items, wings or even using the Aura to float are possible and even easy things to do, if everyone decides fly when they want I can see unnecessary fights starting, the end of traffic fights has never been so dangerous.
It didn't take long for our temporary resistance, as the Auras outside didn't seem to enter the residence, I opened my Dungeon gate and left some people behind explaining things to those who were still leaving the Dungeon.
I chose Hela, Nicole, Silvia, Magnus, Hades, and my Familiars to come along with me to where the person responsible for calling me here is, Ortiz was guiding us to him and Hades had to be close to me since I'm the only one who can keep his power in check until he learns for himself.
Once again we paid for another Golem transport, this one with the appearance of a Dragon, from there we were taken to a tower further to the city center, these vehicles were even very fast allowing us to arrive in a matter of minutes.
As soon as we arrived we passed by some people at first, but the more we walked, the less we found people, there came a time when I was only seeing Golems, their appearances more like robots, there was one that I almost took home for being the same as the Terminator being a metal skeleton, with the difference being that he's doing maintenance work on a much larger Golem.
Soon we arrive at an office where we enter without knocking, Ortiz signals for us not to speak while he takes a few more steps forward releasing his Aura.
"Lord Orsel, following the orders of the Dragon Emperor, I have come here as a guide to the Primal Dragon Zenos." (Ortiz)
"Huh..." (Orsel)
"Sorry, if you could just wait… a second…" (Orsel)
Orsel was a White Elf, his hair is light green with many parts turning gray, his hair is tied back in a ponytail, he looks pale and has dark circles under his eyes, he has silver eyes and wears a pair of glasses with Golden frame while his clothes were fully functional and full of pockets, even his appearance didn't carry the otherworldly good looks that most Elves I met had, he looked very normal.
I see him taking a potion out of a drawer and drinking the entire contents at once, the changes were immediate, the dark circles disappear and his skin has a more normal tone, no longer being pale as it was before, his eyes have also become more alive with a glow of vigor in them.
Sigh
"I really needed this, I haven't slept in days..." (Orsel)
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Orsel, I know it may not look like it, but I'm the commander of Frontier City's general defense affairs, one of the Council members of Frontier City Guardians." (Orsel)
"A pleasure to finally meet you in person, Blood Eclipse Primordial Dragon, Zenos." (Orsel)
He gets up and takes my hand with Aura surrounding his hand, Ortiz told me about it on the way, while Dragons are more direct in the way they release their Aura in a flashy greeting, the people of this Border Town do it like this, they cover their hands with their Auras discreetly so as not to alarm the people around them.
I do the same covering my hand with my Aura before shaking his, I was careful not to be a strength clash or anything like that, I felt his Aura which says a lot about a person and I know he did the same to me, your surprised and confused face was something I expected knowing how abnormal my Aura can be.
"Please, let's sit down, I have some things to discuss with you." (Orsel)
"I'm here for this, we can start when..." (I)
"Nicole, stop messing with the wall." (I)
"..." (Orsel)
"Sorry, I just like the hidden door, give me 1 second to close again." (Nicole)
"Sorry about my daughter." (I)
"How did she deactivate the…" (Orsel)
I was about to start a conversation with Orsel when I saw Nicole opening a door in one of the walls, it was a small door and I called her attention to stop before she got too excited, but it seems that Orsel was surprised by her, I think that I'm going to have to make some introductions before the talk.
