Chapter 871 871 Brilliant Plans
The Representatives explained their idea of relocating a bunch of feral tribes here and having the dungeon spells rerouted to face off against the local monsters and tribes, instead of threatening the cities.
Once they were done, the Demon King smiled.
"How about I help you with that, just a little bit. You see, I am the King overseeing the feral tribes now, and I block the portals from the fallen that try to invade through the wild lands. I think that your idea could turn out to be a fascinating study in human and feral behaviour. Just give me a moment to call over an old friend."
The Demon turned and found that the person in question, a white winged Seraphim, was standing right beside him already.
"Oh, there you are. Good show. Now, what do you think about my plan?" He asked, without explaining anything at all.
The Seraphim seemed to contemplate the answer for a few seconds and then nodded.
"I think that it will work. It wouldn't be viable in your world, or in mine, but in this world, it shouldn't be a problem to create a looped dungeon without upsetting the balance." The Seraphim agreed.
Wolfe waited for an explanation, and the Demon King nodded after a few seconds, then began to speak.
"As my counterpart and I were just saying, we have the power to turn this whole region into a looped dungeon, and direct all off world portals to this spot. If they don't have a token, they won't be able to go anywhere but here, and we will put this spot in a time loop that will send them home after a maximum of twenty-four hours." He informed them.
"Was there more to the conversation? You neglected to speak it out loud for all of us who weren't involved in your mind link." Wolfe requested.
The Demon King shrugged. "That was the important part. Other than the scaling thing. We both know a spell that will alter the power level of creatures in a set area to match a target. So, we can have the dungeon match the power level of the visitors, as long as they're not more powerful than us, and there is sufficient mana.
If they activate it as a dungeon spell from off world, they will provide it, but if they're trying to invade, it might be drawn from this side."
That shouldn't be a huge problem. He could stash a large amount of mana crystal outside and have it slowly replenish, which would keep the spells active and allow the dungeon to keep resetting, as long as the unfunded invasions didn't come too often.
Even if they tried once a month to invade instead of training, it would be fine with the mana in the area, and wouldn't cause additional imbalances.
"That actually sounds like it would be a real benefit. I mean, with the dungeon scaled to their needs, the enemy would actually be able to use it as a proper training ground. Are we certain that this is a good idea?" Wolfe asked.
The Demon King smiled. "You know, it takes a lot less mana to open a dungeon portal to your own world."
The Representatives smiled at each other. With the amount of power that they individually had, they could send teams there every day to train. It would allow them to build up their own elite force, with extensive combat experience and a rapid growth rate that the humans were likely to be unable to match.
Wolfe was still hesitant, as keeping the Witches as White Witches was turning out very well for him. But on the other hand, the beastkin were rapidly becoming magic proficient, and the Magi blooded men were starting to gain enough power that they could become an effective combat force as well.
It would be a long time before they had their own military force on this world that could compete with the forces from the Demon and Fae Realms, but with somewhere to train, there was no reason that it shouldn't be possible.
"Alright. Once we work out how we're going to design and stock the area, we will have to ask for your assistance in getting the barriers set up to the standard where they will be a sustainable dungeon.
Will multiple groups training in the area become an issue?" Wolfe asked.
The Demon King smiled. "Not for us. But if multiple groups are sent to the same area at the same time, there is a chance that they will meet each other. Putting them all in individual, separated time loops would require significantly more mana input.
It does sound like a fun idea, though. We could watch and make bets on who does the best."
That sounded a lot like Wolfe's suggestion that they make it a reality television show, and the Representatives began to wonder if these two King Rank beings had been listening in on their plans from the very start and had only chosen to intervene when they heard the Tormentor.
The Seraph looked at Wolfe with his strange golden eyes and smiled. "You were planning to put constructs here, correct? Ones with skills and memories that would help maintain order and work as dungeon bosses? I think that I can do something like that for you. I know an improved version of that spell, one that recreates much more than just a few memories and skills.
I can set it to create a zone of Tribulation for them to face. If we put it in specific areas of the underground, they will be able to find it for the challenge."
Wolfe frowned. "Like the holy lightning that comes down to smite things?"
The Seraph laughed. "Not at all. Though, the purpose is the same. It will create a challenge based on the strength and soul of the challengers. The greedy, selfish and evil will have a much harder time passing the challenge, while the righteous will have an easier time.
Plus, it will create a magical item for them at the end if they succeed."
The Fairy Representative looked shocked. "You would put a Tribulation Trial here, for just anyone to try?"
The Seraph's golden eyes flickered with delight. "I most definitely would. The question is who might be worthy to actually pass the trial?"
