Chapter 13: Friendship?

"Yes, restore."

The whole town started to glitch out and glow. This caused a lot of panic, which is understandable.

"What's going on?!"

"Hey! Look!"

There was an unfortunate soldier that was splattered against a wall. A bluish sheen scanned over the wreck and the body started to reform. Arms, legs, torso, and heads connected. Ew...

A blue flash engulfed the soldier and he dropped to the floor.

"Wha... Huh? What was...?"

The crater in the wall also started to reform. The whole town started to restore itself, not to what it once was, but to its prime.

Rian stared wordlessly, he had never seen or heard this kind of magic before. He started to feel an odd sensation and noticed that his armor was magically being repaired.

"What the hell?!"

He could also feel the bruise he sustained from the battle fading away.

"Ah, my arm. It's not broken!"

"I'm feeling re-entergize..."

"Tord! You're alive!"

Another person from the disorderly crowd cried out and ran towards the soldier recently resurrected.

"Ah? Didn't I get crushed by that hammer wielding thing?"

He was helped to his feet before a individual from the Holy Institution blocked their way. Some sort of priest.

He raised his hands at the soldier, but was stopped by person in white robes. She had an cowl over her head and wore a monocle. She shook her head at the priest.

"No, I am not detecting nercomancy. It is something else..."

"Oh, Mayria! You're back to normal!"

A towering dragon landed at a clearing and purred. Camilla hugged the dragon at the forehead.

"Aw, poor little girl. Don't worry, once I gather all my troops, we will go to the Saradara Isles. I hope my soldiers are okay."

"All the fallen soldiers and mercenaries are being resurrected. I am unable to detect any sort of magic involve with this..."

"Oh? Then what is going on around here?"

The lady in white rubbed her chin and frowned.

"Didn't Farce say that he will 'undo all deaths and destruction'?"

"?! They did include that in the transcript, but that's... Impossible."

"If what Farce said was true, then that means there is a possibilities that Farce is still alive."

Everyone went silent. Many believed that this was an attack by a rogue, powerful demon or spirit. But even a powerful being would had some sort of limitation.

"... There was tales of people before us that could bring the dead back to life. Spells like [Resurrection] were casted like any other low leveled spell."

"Are you saying that those legendary figures are behind this attack?"

"Not entirely, there were monsters that could rival them. But I heard that they all went dormant after they disappeared. It's possible that one had woken."

"..."

The crowd had dispersed with a few straggers trying to make sense of what had happen. Rian, Camilla, the lady in white, and their party remained at the area.

"I think it's best if we contact all of the guild masters and the royal families. We should leave the aftermath to them."

"No need, I think I already know who this 'Farce' is."

"?!"

Oh boy... It's Luilan Avli, the elf boy. If I can remember, Naida said that he is now the Exploration Guild Master. The graceful elven warrior floated down from the sky with his silver hair tied into a ponytail.

Hm... He looks a bit older than I remember. Elves age slower than human, but I believe Luilan is around 300 years and older.

"Eh? Guild Master Luilan?! When did you get here?"

The elf boy had a displeased expression, "Just now. And I think I can unmask this 'Farce'."

A murderous expression appeared on Camilla's face.

"Who?! If he isn't dead, I will make sure he'll regret being alive!"

Rian scoffed, "I doubt you could stand a chance against him. He had you tied up with his... Whatever those things were."

"Quasi Denizens. Those humanoid things that can alter they weapons and armors are called Quasi Denizens, and there is only one person in existence that created them. Verden! Show yourself!"

Time to go.

"I know you're there Verden! Queen Tanya called me!"

Where should I go next? What to do?

"You're a shota!"

"You son of a...!!"

Stealth mode off! I lunged at Luilan throat.

"I knew it!"

His left hand caught my right hand and vise versa.

"You. Promised!"

I pushed him back.

"I missed... You... Too!"

Meanwhile, everyone that was witnessing this had dumbfounded expressions.
