Chapter 270 - Heroes Always Arrive Late
"Why are you yelling!? Not like I could hear anything!" Old Dan huffed, causing his beard to flutter.
Milie rolled her eyes, lifted her foot back, and thrust it forward right into the old man's shin. "Ow! My Little Disciple did I anger you!? Why is it every time you get mad you kick my sh… Ow!"
Kana also took a chance while the old man's guard was down to kick him in the shin as well. Milie looked at Kana and smiled. The two then both gave each other a high five. As for Old Dan, seeing the comradery between the two he felt helpless. 'How am I supposed to do anything when they gang up on me like this!?'
After rubbing his shin until it felt better Old Dan stood up straight and cleared his throat. "Ahem… I have two things to say. First You will get a single wish. You can ask for anything you want and I will give it to you and the second thing is that you probably should head back to your world soon. It seems to be in a bit of trouble."
Kana, who was chatting away with Milie, suddenly froze and looked over at Old Dan: "What did you say?"
"I said you will get any wi…"
"No, the other thing!" Kana yelled, cutting Old Dan off.
"Your world is in peril?" Old Dan answered with a question. He tilted his head to the side as if he was asking: why is this important?
"What do you mean!? What happened!?" Kana began to freak out. She ran over to Old Dan and grabbed him by his robes and began shaking him.
"WWWWoooouuuulllldddd yyyyooouuuu ssssttttoooopppp sssshhhhaaaakkkiiinnnngggg mmmmeeee!" Old Dan's head was bobbing back and forth.
"Kana, calm down and Master, you need to explain things and stop acting like it is not a big deal." Milie scolded.
"Ah… Sorry…" Kana released Old Dan and stood to the side.
Old Dan adjusted his robes and cleared his throat again before explaining. "It's like this. Some old man on your world went and opened a gate to the devil realm. Devils are known for their death element. Death element is very dangerous to those around them if they are exposed to it. It will suck their lifeforce out and eventually turn them into the undead."
"This…" Kana suddenly felt helpless. Here she was being happy go lucky and her world had been in danger this entire time. Her friends and family all lived there… "Creige… I have to return. I have to go back now."
"If you want to go back it won't be hard. You can just wish for a spatial movement skill." Old Dan suggested.
Not even taking any time to think, Kana said: "I want a spell that gives me full control over time and space so I can travel any distance in an instant."
"Hmm… Not bad. With such a skill it can be used for more than teleportation. Very well!" Old Dan waved his hand sending out a black stream of light that had white sparkles inside it. This light struck Kana right between her brow.
*Ding!*
[Acquired New Skill!]
[Master of Time and Space]
[A skill that allows its user to manipulate any part of space and time.]
[Damage based on Magic Power.]
[Cool down five days.]
"Thank you!" Kana bowed her head and turned to see if the Sisters were ready to go but Old Dan stopped her. "Little girl when you reach the realm of Soulist, come find me or Milie. I would like to take you under my wing as my disciple."
Kana, who was not really paying attention nodded her head as she said: "Hmm? Yeah sure. I will see you then. Thank you for everything. Masters we have to go!"
Saying this she activated her [Master of Time and Space] by picturing where she wanted to go and what she wanted to do. A rift appeared in front of them and Kana and the six sisters all jumped in and disappeared from the dungeon.
"There she goes…" Milie said, letting out a sigh. "Master, will my new little sister survive?"
"There is no way that little girl will die. She has fate's star shining down on her. I have a feeling that in the future she will be turning the realms upside down. But Milie we should still give her a hand. I think we should stop in and see some old men in the realm of gods." Old Dan stroked his beard as he continued to look at the spot Kana left from.
"That's fine but I might hit one, two, or, well, all of them. So many years ago you saved their world and split the realms. On top of that, you even gave them your system so they could evolve easier and quicker. But what do they show for it? They abandon their duties as gods and goddesses and let those of the mortal realm suffer. It's about time they were given some punishment." Milie snorted. She would make sure to stick up for her new little sister!
"Mm… Just don't make it so they can not fight. We need them to go help my future disciple." Old Dan said dotingly as he patted the top of Milie's head only to get his hand slapped away instantly. "Don't try to cop a feel, old man!"

"The walls won't hold much longer!" Kiliffia yelled. She could see the walls were cracking and crumbling. The enemy was just too overwhelming. If someone told Kiliffia that you can easily win a war with fewer numbers, she would probably choke that person to death. But with their current situation, Kiliffia was completely out of ideas. She looked at her people dying and rising again as the undead and how hopeless everyone who was fighting. The tears she had been holding back suddenly burst forth. She was completely lost on what to do with no solutions.
As her lip trembled, she sniffed back her runny nose as she mumbled: "Goddess Kana If only you were here…"
"You called!?"
