Chapter 116 Objective

Objective

The different companies that had been sent to this terrible place all had a singular objective.

It was assumed that the hidden Realm beyond the Realm gate held many resources, but following that same vein, there were many dangers, which usually hovered around the potential benefits.

As such, this training the soldiers were going through had that idea in mind. And so their objective was to retrieve a special/rare item which was in this region.

That also meant that this massive white plain that was making Titus feel like crying was only a single region his master had created to train his soldiers. For this occasion, it was frost-based.

Titus had joined a bit later than others so he hadn't seen most of the other regions. That said he had caught sight of the region dedicated to fire and he wasn't sure if he'd like that any better than what he was currently going through.

Anyway his company was meant to rendezvous with the other companies and they would merge, and then they would all go and retrieve the objective together.

Even so...

'Just the environment is beating us up this much. And it's safe to assume that the special item will be protected by something even more dreadful.' He resisted a sigh. The thoughts just made him feel empty.

Regardless, he decided to close his eyes and get some rest. Braving the terrible cold and powerful winds for hours on end was bound to drain one, especially since they were doing so with their bodies, and they couldn't even enhance themselves with energy as everyone was doing their best to manage their energy and would only use it when they had to.

They were already spending energy to keep the effects of their equipment active, and while the energy cost for this wasn't a lot, it was still continuous, they had to be careful.

The only one among them not constrained by this was the Dragon as he was basically in his element and didn't need to worry about the cold. So it wasn't using any equipment like that.

Around an hour passed before the Blizzard finally began to disperse, and whatever was hiding within its depths disappeared also.

The barrier was covered in a layer of snow from the Blizzard, but it was easily shaken off to reveal the outside, which was the same. Bright sun in the sky that offered no warmth, and pure white in every direction.

Titus got up and stretched his sore body, and his men were doing the same. The dragon hadn't moved from its original spot and rose, and in a few minutes, the company was set and ready to continue the journey without Titus' instruction.

Saying they were well rested would be a severe overstatement, but at the very least they had gotten some rest. And they were ready to continue the journey. And so they did.

The barrier was taken down, and the group was again on their way.

'Finally.' Titus sighed in his heart.

"Ah yes, they're here. That said, Felicia is quite irritable. As it turns out, she doesn't like the cold." He said with a small chuckle and Titus almost chuckled as well. He hadn't seen his sister in cold conditions like this before so he had no idea that the cold made her irritated. That said, considering how she never wore clothes that were too light and always stayed in warm spots, it wasn't too surprising.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a tent that was significantly larger than the other and stepped inside.

There, Titus saw 8 different people seated around a table and they were all discussing intently. And among them, he recognised his two siblings.

They certainly had seen better days. Curtis looked paler than usual and Felicia had a snappy look in her eyes. But they were fine at least.

When they stepped in, everyone turned to look at them and Titus removed his mask and goggles.

"Ah, so he made it." The first person to speak was a familiar figure. It was Aisha, the beautiful elf looked as elegant as always, though the months of braving the cold had certainly done its number on her. This was her true body, and it was a clone that was handling the affairs of her sect and helping Christopher in his information gathering.

She wasn't the only familiar face though. Titus recognised the green Dragon that went by the name Zephyr, and the powerful Oni General Benimaru who looked better than most due to his secondary Affinity to water and ice.

The last two were people he didn't recognise. A demihuman that belonged to the wolf tribe, and a female Centaur that seemed bored.

Felicia and Curtis had their eyes light up a little when they saw Han escort Titus inside, but they kept their faces calm.

"You did well getting here." Felicia said with a nod and Curtis hummed in agreement.

Titus just smiled and went to an empty seat Han pointed him to before taking his own.

There were no pleasantries nor were there any enquiries on how his journey had been. Instead, the group went straight to business.

"To give you a brief rundown of what's happening currently. After our groups merged, we gathered the information we had and after moving for a bit, we finally found our objective." Curtis explained and Titus expected as much, but he still Sat up slightly when they told him they had found the objective.

"The place is in an underground ice cavern we found by chance as well as mrs Aisha's assistance. Though our objective is farther inside." Hearing this, Titus smiled, though it didn't reach his eyes.

"The fact that you haven't retrieved it and ended the mission... something is preventing us from getting it, right?" Hearing this, there was a collective sigh.

"Why yes indeed." Aisha held a similar smile on her face and sighed.

"Actually, it's something we're somewhat familiar with." Hearing this, Titus raised a brow and she continued with a grim smile.

"It's a clone of Sir Lenax." Hearing this, Titus blinked, then sighed, then groaned.

'Now that's just perfect.'
