Chapter 1072: First Night in Sleb Harbour
Night had fallen over Sleb Harbour, and Erik couldn't sleep. He had too many things going on in his mind.
While Amber, Mira, and Emily were asleep, since everything he tried to go into Morpheus's embrace failed, he decided the best thing to do was to stretch a little, and he left his bed.
The Chimaeric Demons refrained from explaining the situation to him and the others since they made a long journey to reach Sleb Harbour and didn't want to overload Erik and the rest of the group with stuff that could wait to be said.
But while Erik agreed, at the beginning, the thoughts about the situation filled his mind and made him unable to rest.
"Master, where are you going?" June asked.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't want to wake you up," Erik said. June was sleeping too, but it looked like somehow he still kept an eye on his master, or maybe he simply heard him getting up.
"I'm going to talk to the Chimaeric Demons. I need to ask them some questions."
"Then I'm coming with you, master."
"Are you sure?" Erik asked. "You made most of the muscle work on this journey. You must be pretty tired..."
"It's not a problem, Master... Besides, I had something going on in my mind, and I couldn't sleep either. Taking a walk will help me for sure."
June stood up with heavy eyes. Clearly, he lied and was sleeping well enough to live those few minutes, going from waking up to being fully awake, like hell.
But regardless of the obvious tiredness in the clone's eyes and his foggy mind, he still followed his master.
It took a little before the two found some Chimaeric Demons. The clones greeted their elder brother and their creator with nods and bows.
"What can we do for you?"
"I came to ask you about the situation here in Sleb Harbour," Erik said. "What have you learned during your time in the city?"
The Chimaeric Demons exchanged glances.
"Master, are you sure you want to talk about this now? I'm sure you are pretty tired after your journey..."
"Yes, I am..."
and helper.
"For sure, the Veritas Lenses will be a problem for our plans, but it's not like those using them will find the clones with 100% chance. The Chimaeric Demons said it themselves this evening. It is possible to sneak around turned into small creatures."
He paused. "The problem is getting those planes. We are too close to the blackguards' main base, so information will travel fast. Stealing the planes as we did with the ship will be complicated, and even if we do, the blackguards would have put whatever defense to bring down any plane approaching without authorization."
"Right," Erik said. "But this means we will be taken down, even by flying there by
shapeshifting. If we couldn't do it in Frant, we can't definitely do it here."
"Yes." June was thoughtful. "It won't be a pleasant journey," he said. "Especially for Mira, Amber, and Emily. But if we can't get the planes to reach Maynard Island, I would say we will need to prepare more Chimaeric Demons and fly there."
"You said it yourself; the clones will be killed."
"Yes..."
Silence ensued. For Erik, this wasn't a trivial matter. In truth, it wasn't even for June, but he and the Chimaeric Demons had a different perspective on things. Their only reason to exist was for them to grant Erik's wishes and help him achieve his goal. Dying was for them the greatest honor they could get, if it meant giving Erik what he wanted.
But the young man wasn't so cold as to think that was a viable solution, not even given how bizarre the Chimaeric Demons' life was.
"As for the Thaids," June said. "Most of them can be easily taken down by the Chimaeric Demons. Mur's thaids might stumble upon us, but that's just a risk."
June paused. "It's not worth to stop our operation or delay it just because of a fear. Besides, we might use the biological supercomputer to come up with something to keep them far from us. What will happen if we give powers that closely resemble the Instability brain crystal
power to them?"
June seemed pretty confident about this. "I bet that even the most powerful thaid wouldn't be able to resist a massive mental attack made by thousands of clones."
"As for the Veritas Lenses, if we fly there, hiding won't be a concern because we will simply wipe them out with a large army. I doubt the blackguards, despite the many trinkets they got from Etrium and the two or three brain crystal powers they got, will be able to pose a
problem."
Erik agreed with June's plan and thought it was clever. He nodded, seeing how good the idea
was.
Erik had faced similar problems before and had used plans like this every time, always leading to good outcomes. This made him feel confident, even if not that much.
