Reaper's Resurgence - Book 2 - Chapter 37 - Fly-by (Patreon)

The Dimensional Wall between Dimensional Blocks #108 and #109
                                              A couple days later

Varsac narrows his eyes in his irritation as he stands next to Harold in front of the fortress stationed at the Dimensional Wall, facing off against the most recent delegation from Dimensional Block #109’s Dimensional Leader. A Lich King known by the name of Karo de Vult.

Ever since the Dimensional Council, Varsac has been wondering what sorts of neighbors the Dimensional Blocks around them would be. But having a Dimensional Block of undead as neighbors was not one of the options he had considered, and was one of the worst possible outcomes. Not the absolute worst, which would be having an infamous individual like the Hound or the Ancient Terror as a neighbor, but still one of the worst he can think of.

His first reaction to the news was to reach out to Harold and work with them as a show of force for the initial delegates, no matter how much both men hated it. And it did work, especially when the delegates realized how ‘unified’ all of the people of the Dimensional Block were.

Which was likely the only reason they didn’t immediately decide to write them off or try to leave and come back to take over the Block for themselves.

Varsac would mention The Reaper and the hellfrost dragon living in their Block, but doing that could very well lead to the undead believing it as a threat. And while it would help their Block, the hellfrost dragon wouldn’t take kindly to having his name used by someone less than dirt in his eyes to threaten others without his permission.

I don’t even want to know what he or The Reaper would do then.

In the end, the first and second delegation both came and went before any sorts of agreements could be met by either side.

And now he and Harold find themselves face to face with the third and likely most important delegation. Because at just a mere glance, Varsac can immediately tell that their group is the strongest of the groups to have come by far.

Varsac tenses up slightly as they come to a stop right in front of him and Harold, following which silence stretches out for a few seconds.

“So this is the Dimensional Leader of the Dimensional Block?” the man at the front, a blighted one whose level far eclipses Varsac’s own, says with a little bit of disinterest in his voice. “If this was all then-”

The man cuts off with his eyes widening in shock for some reason. But Varsac’s confusion doesn’t last long as he follows the man’s gaze to find two beings approaching from a distance, the two still outside of Varsac’s range.

When they do enter his range, he immediately recognizes them both as The Reaper and the hellfrost dragon. One who is simply teleporting across the sky with ease while the other is flapping his wings as the two pass by overhead and then enter through the Dimensional Wall that had already closed up but is now opening again for The Reaper and dragon pair.

Silence fills the two groups as they both stare at the Dimensional Wall where the two Class S species just left.

Then the blighted one in front of him turns back around and focuses on Varsac, “We’re amenable to discussions.”

Varsac blinks at that response before immediately getting into real discussions with the group, neither side so much as mentioning the two Class S species.

I don’t know if I should feel humiliated that they were about to dismiss me entirely as weak or thankful the two Class S species decided to pass by at this very moment.

In the end he chooses not to think about it, simply focusing on his negotiations.

There really are Class A undead on the other side of this Wall, considering that group we passed over. And their levels are pretty high all things considered.

They’re all at around level 190 or so. Still 60 levels below me, but rather high compared to most people.

I don’t know what they were talking about. Considering that they look like they’re discussing something right now though, they probably aren’t hostile. At least not yet.

Then again, as long as they don’t pose a threat to the Retreat then I don’t really care about what they do to the other nations and groups of the Block.

So I focus on the desert as we finish crossing through the Dimensional Wall, which appears to be made solely out of quantum energy. Just a much more compressed quantum energy than any I’ve ever made before.

I purse my lips slightly as I think about Luna, who chose to stay behind at the Retreat to protect the base of which she seems to have grown rather fond of simply hanging around in.

Pretty sure Luna would be having a feast just from that wall alone. Considering how she eats quantum energy.

The moment I cross into the Dimensional Block past the Wall, I find a rather surprising System Message playing out in my head.

{The Dimensional Champion and Leader of Dimensional Block #109 have both been notified of the arrival of the Dimensional Champion of Dimensional Block #108.}

I glance at Ethan to see if he saw the message too, but he’s just frowning down at the sand, seemingly displeased by the temperature of the place. A temperature that doesn’t bother me since I’ve already gotten adaptation to fire magic and to the heat from that fire aligned dungeon.

Or at least, he looks displeased until a faint cold mist starts emanating from him, the man seemingly using his magic to cool the area around us down a bit.

Guess he doesn’t care much for the heat. Which is ironic considering that he’s here to get fire magical ore.

Anyways, looks like the Dimensional Champion and Leader know I’m here. Although they might not know where exactly.

I look around the endless desert for a while, at the occasional sand dunes, the two oasis I can see far away in opposite directions, and the occasional monster roaming around. Then I summon my bow and tell Ethan, “I’ll be heading down to the ground now.”

He glances at me and nods.

I just don’t have the mana to continue teleporting through the air like this. Since it gets harder to stay up here the longer I am up here.

And there’s no point staying up here anyways.

Time to see what monsters fill this Dimensional Block.
