Chapitre 25: TWENTY FOUR
I decided to examine the mist tomorrow morning because I need proper tools and equipment's to evaluate it. Ceres wanted to go with me today but I insist that he stays and just wait for me at home. I teleported myself in each location of the mist that appeared in each country to investigate and to see if any changes happen since yesterday. So far, the mist remains the same and nothing changes, it's still a red mist, still hovering in the air, once it touches the ground, next thing that will show up are the gates.
I also examine the key that I found from the last raid. Just like how the labyrinth works in the other world when it opened it there, one key can only open one specific door in the location that it is found. I can also open the Labyrinth anytime, but only the gate here in the Philippines, even without waiting for the gate to make itself physically appear. I do not know if the other keys already appear, it can even be in possession of the other hunters already.
I gathered some of the red mist and put it in the vase I crafted to seal some of it to examine it at the lab because maybe it can help to determine when will the gates appears and open even without the keys. I return home and Ceres accompany me in the lab.
I draw a magic circle in the ground of the lab in memory from what I learned in the academy before and place the vase in the middle, I put mana on it to activate it and the vase changes into a huge hour glass, showing us how much time we have before the gates appeared. Seeing it, we don't have much time left, we only have a month or less, the time can change anytime.
"Why don't we just enter the labyrinth now Uncle and defeat the Leviathan before the gates open"- Ceres.
"We will do that but not for now, the monsters we will encounter inside the Labyrinth are much stronger than the ones we already encountered in the dungeons and portals, even with my current state, I am not confident if I can defeat the Leviathan, so we need to get stronger before the labyrinth gates open"-Demetri.
"Okay Uncle, I understand, I will train hard to make myself stronger"-Ceres.
"I think boss this is the time you tell Ceres about that thing I said to you the other day"- Kaya
I think you're right Kaya, I think this is the right time
"Ceres, I think this is the right time to tell you, the golemn summoning was not your unique skill that I thought it was"-Demetri.
"Then what is it uncle?"-Ceres.
"The other day when you were meditating, I saw that your unique skill was advance taming, a very rare one that only one every a hundred years receive it as their unique skill, it will be a great help in the fight with the leviathan"-Demetri.
Ceres eyes light up, and was so eager to develop and test out his taming skill as much as possible, to use it against the leviathan but I told him that it will not be easy since this talent of his was not yet out, he cannot use it yet upon reaching a specific age. The only way I know to make his unique skill to develop fast, and come out advance and powerful, is to make him undergo hibernation and control his unique skill in his mind first.
"Ceres, because of the coming threat, we need to force your unique skill to develop fast and come out, and the road to it will not be easy, there are threats and you might die, but I will not let that happen"-Demetri.
"I will do it Uncle, whatever it takes just to help defeat those evil bastards, and besides I trust you Uncle, I know you will not let me get harm"-Ceres.
"You really inherit your father's dedication and strong will Ceres, I am sure wherever he is, he is very proud of you, and don't worry, I promise you I will not let you down and I will not let anything bad happen to you"-Demetri.
I explain to Ceres what we will do and he nodded as a sign of understanding. I contacted Alice because I need a healer's help on this one. Upon Alice arrival, I explain to her what we were about to do and after lend her the book I created from my memories of Aiya's teaching so that she can learn Divine Protection.
Divine protection is very different from the protection I casted myself before because unlike the protection that can only protect the physical trait, the divine protection can keep the soul and the state of mind safe from any harm and also intact. I am glad that Kaya confirmed that Alice can cast the divine protection, because in the other world, only a few healers can do it. This just show that Alice will be a great healer in the future.
While waiting for Alice, I created another room where Ceres will reside for the whole hibernation, I crafted the same chamber where Daya's body is but a more powerful one because it will cater a living one. The chamber will let Ceres survive even without food, water and air while he is under the hibernation.
While waiting for us to finish, just like what I said to Ceres, he focuses and lend his time in meditating and absorbing more mana crystals than he was observing before, for increase success in what he will be doing. When its time for Ceres to enter the chamber, I told him to be in the center of the magic circle I draw and together with Alice we chanted at the same time two spells to begin the process of the self-battle hibernation.
"Divine Protection!"-Alice
"Mist cancellation, activate self-battling hibernation"-Ceres
Ceres changes to his original form and the moment he collapses was the sign that he entered the state. Before placing him at the chamber I put a connection thread between us so that I can feel, what he is feeling and I can monitor his state.
"How long will this be?"-Alice
"I do not know, it's different in each individual, but let's hope he succeed before the disaster comes"-Demetri
My phone vibrated in my pocket and saw that it was Jack, I expected for them to call because I know they will ask about the red mist, I answered the call and said that I will be there. I ask Alice to stay here for a while to monitor Ceres because there will be a lot of times that I will not be at home.
"There are plenty of extra rooms in the house you can use one of them, I'll contact Stephan to help you and be your guard, we do not know what will happen in the following days because of the red mist, it is better also that we stick together"-Demetri.
Alice nodded and said that she will be going home first to get some clothes and necessities. I waited for the arrival of Alice and Stephan before going to the HA.
