Return of the last survivor - Chapter 112

Merlin looked at his stats and was pleasantly surprised. At Tier 4, he could be considered more than halfway to his initial power. Naturally, he was far stronger this time around if he was to reach the Tier 7 he had reached last time.

Exiting the chamber, Merlin stretched out a little while yawning. At this point, Merlin remembered something he just saw.

‘I can travel freely in the void without worry about corruption??’

A smile came across his face as he thought of exploring the void for absolutely no reason, and wasting time there, but was stopped by Phillip’s somewhat human voice,

“Master, Reconstruction is at 80%. The average level of fighters within Cayden has increased to Tier 3 Lv 2, with the strongest having already reached Lv 4. The overall average level within Cayden if Tier 2 Lv 4, which had increased from the previous Tier 2 Lv 2.”

“I see.” Merlin nodded and though about something and told Phillip to prepare 20 loyal soldiers at Tier 3.

He then went ahead to kill some monsters and zombies.

A day later, 20 soldiers were waiting in line at the entrance to Merlin’s residence. One of these people was Sarah, the late Ethan’s lover.

She had been training non-stop to increase her own strength to protect both her baby-brother who was 5 years old by now, and Ethan’s younger sister Maya.

“Good. Now that everyone is here, let me tell you guys something. I will be taking you to a place where time runs differently from Earth. 10 years there will only be a year here. There are no zombies there for you to kill, however, you will be able to absorb mana from that plane, and increase your total mana. Naturally, I won’t leave you in such a place for 10 years. 3 months, about 2.5 years there should be fine. Remember, there are natives that exist there, demons and elves. You should have seen those two that came with me right? The natives look like that. Do not attack them unless they attack you first. That plane should be able to support Tier 3s by now since it has been leaching off Earth for quite some time. Let the natives kill each other. Do not do too much.”

“Also, some parts of Mecha should be there maintaining peace. Meet up with Cortana’s children there, who are occupying Mecha’s bodies.”

“And most importantly, enjoy yourselves. Think of this as a break from the constant grind on Earth.”

“Phillip, open the dimensional gate.”

With those words, the very fabric of space in front of Merlin was torn, revealing the rather stable dimensional gate between Earth and the Tsundere plane.

All of the 20 Tier 3’s entered one by one, and vanished into the gate, after which it closed in on itself, restoring Earth’s planer space.

Merlin then got thinking about a problem he just remembered when he told the group of 20 not to kill the natives.

He did not have any Tier 4s on this plane…!

However, all of that could be solved with something simple, more planes. However, this would take time to search for the plane.

Merlin interacted with Earth’s will, and sent out nearly 200 probes into the dimensional void.

“Her Arcania. Tell me now? How much time till I find a new plane?”

“Sigh. Some time left huh. But at least it’s better than last time.” Merlin consoled himself.

“Also, Phillip, make sure to bring those 20 back in 3 months’ time. In case I forget.”
