Chapter 860 Bringing The Party To Asharia
Looking at the notification, the party looked at one another in shock and Shiro was no exception.
To her understanding, even if Madison was the only one left, there should have been another test but the system immediately handed her the role.
While it does make sense, it does overwrite what they knew.
However, even if they were confused, the system didn't pause for them as a magic circle of unknown tier opened up beneath Madison.
Before she could even call out for help, a crystal wrapped around her body and she was sent into a deep slumber.
Widening his eyes, Helion was about to try to smash the crystal when Shiro grabbed his wrist.
"Stop it. That crystal is what is used when we evolve. Shattering it could bring some negative effects. Plus, the system said that she's evolving into the queen so it's beneficial for her." Shiro said as Helion calmed down.
"Regardless, this is a rather abnormal situation. Did you get a notification as well?" Shiro asked Asphil since she was the only other demon here.
"Mn I did." Asphil nodded as she took a deep breath.
"The queen of demons has been selected, is what my notification said. "
Hearing what she had said, the party understood that the entire demon race probably got this notification.
"For now, let's take her to a safe location. I'm not sure how long it'll take for her to finish her evolution but leaving her out in the open is a no go. Since Nan Tian has finished helping the spirits move, I'll summon Asharia to our location. We can also make some preparations in moving the demons to the city." Shiro said as she created a small nanotech disk and threw it into the air.
"Yo Nan Tian, I've set up a marker, you should be able to send Asharia to my current location." Shiro said while activating the ear piece.
As the disk was flying higher into the air, it started to unpack itself as several layers of tier 5 magic circles appeared.
"Yep, I can see the marker now. I've already sent out an announcement saying that we'll be teleporting in 5 seconds to the spirits are bracing themselves. This is the first teleport so I'm not sure about the feedback. Hopefully it should be alright." Nan Tian chuckled as Shiro laughed.
"Who do you think built that thing?"
"You, that's why I'm worried. With the way you like to make your jets, I can't help but worry for the rest of us." Nan Tian replied as Shiro stayed silent. He wasn't wrong.
When making the fortress, she was a little tempted to make things bumpy and just brush it off as something she couldn't fix but in the end, against her better judgement, she decided to make things stable.
"Che, just trust me. The feedback should be minimal. If anything, you probably wouldn't even notice it except for the sudden shift in sky since the one in the demon world is red." Shiro clicked her tongue.
"Of course, we're sending Asharia over now."
Cutting off the link, Shiro watched as the magic circles started to shimmer with a soft blue light.
Continuing its expanse, Asphil watched in shock as this magic circle was bigger than anything that she had ever seen before.
Plus, it wasn't just one magic circle either. It was several! The amount of mana needed to power all of this must be crazy. Not to mention the fact that she had just finished a fight with the tier 6 Nostic, the amount of mana she had used already far surpassed what she had initially expected but the rest of the party actually acted as though this was perfectly normal.
There was only one sentence in Asphil's mind right now.
'What in the actual f*ck is wrong with this party???' They were completely abnormal!
Even the healer could out damage a candidate and even buff the rest of the party never mind the rest.
She was grateful that she could serve the queen of demons but she felt as though her sense of what is normal and what is not will soon change.
Though if they were normal, they wouldn't be able to kill the rest of the candidates so it was to be expected.
Waiting for a little longer, the party felt a surge in mana before it was quiet. Looking around in confusion, they couldn't find Asharia nor could they find any hints of where it might be.
Looking at Shiro, they were about to ask her about the fortress when she only smiled and snapped her finger.
Seeing the skies flicker, the party looked up and saw the city slowly reveal itself in the air.
"PFT!!!! Holy crap!" Helion cried out in shock seeing the sheer size of the city and the amount of metal involved.
"You're just seeing the underside of the city and you're already shocked haha. Come, I'll show you the top." Shiro grinned.
Flexing her fingers, she teleported everyone above the city so that they could get a full view of the place.
Looking at the sheer scale of the city with spirits walking around, drones making sure no one was making any trouble, people working in farm lands and so on, the party was speechless at the fact that Shiro made all of this.
Last time she made a small scale fortress to demonstrate her power but looking at the sheer size of this one, they wouldn't be surprised if she said that this could destroy a country. After all, it was a few times bigger than a city!
Little did they know, this wasn't even its full size either. Shiro had to shrink it down a little since there was too much empty space and with the amount of spirits migrating over, it would be difficult to make this place look lively if she had kept the amount of space.
"Welcome to Asharia, this is where our headquarters will be for the new age. Once Madison wakes up, we'll have her announce her position as the queen and move a few demons to the city so that the spirits and demons can get used to one another. After all, they'll be neighbours in the new age. I can't let Madison stay in the demon continent especially when more powerful queens are roaming around. Plus, elves might be joining as well." Shiro smiled towards Isilia and Lyrica since Lyrica's half sister is the current leader in training.
Moving the three races into the city would make things lively. With her being able to expand the fortress at will, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a country if the three races start to live on Asharia.
Teleporting everyone to the main tower, Shiro had a few drones prepare a room for the party as well as a place for Madison since she was evolving into the demon queen right now.
Arriving at the command room, Shiro saw Nan Tian sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. He had already removed his mask and was waiting for Shiro.
"Seems like you had some fun in the demon continent." Nan Tian smiled as Shiro nodded her head.
"And you seemed to have enjoyed your time here acting as captain." Shiro chuckled while making a chair for herself.
"A little, I've been spending most of my time here after all. Having a console that can monitor the entire fortress took a bit to get used to but once you get past the learning curve, it's actually very efficient." Nan Tian said while tapping the screen.
"Of course, I made it after all. I can't have one of my best creations be inefficient now can I? Also, I should have left a doc.u.ment for mech pilot training. There will be people who aren't good at fighting in person so using mechs would be helpful for them as their presence on the battlefield can't be ignored. Plus, since they're the mechs that I made, you can expect them to be the best of the best." Shiro smiled.
"With our technology right now, we can't even make guns effective on the monsters, never mind the mechs. Your mechs are the best of the best because they are the only ones around haha. Though even if we did start making mechs, your knowledge is years ahead of even the smartest people around so it would be almost impossible to make mechs better than the ones you have." Nan Tian shrugged as Shiro nodded her head with a smile.
If he had said hundreds of years ahead, she would have punched him since it made her sound like a granny.
Activating the camouflage on the city, Shiro helped organise a few things manually while they waited for Madison to wake up.
