Chapter 722 722 Compulsion

The Witches of the other continents had caused a similar change, but because their awakenings and breakthroughs were not natural, but a result of the Mana Beast\'s interference, they hadn\'t had enough of an effect on the world to nurture the plant life, and the imbalance had grown so severe that the world\'s protective barrier had finally lost its effectiveness layer by layer.

Now that it had been stripped bare by the lack of natural power, it couldn\'t regain what was lost, and when the planet\'s power completely returned, it would be insufficient to keep the realms within this plane separated.

But the only two who understood the risk weren\'t saying anything, and the rest of the Fae Forest was simply celebrating the arrival of so many powerful protectors.

But while that happened, Wolfe had a dilemma of his own. There was a mental barrier on his powers, waiting for him to take some action, and urging him to go deeper into the mountains. Any action that didn\'t fulfill that goal was a struggle, and it was taking up his every thought.

"Nimue, can you fetch Risa or one of the Rank Seven or higher visitors? I have a question that I need answered about a change after everyone\'s advancement." Wolfe requested.

"Got it. I\'ll be right back, Risa is in her room, I can feel her presence." Nimue agreed, leaving her stuffed panda behind as she ran out of his room to go see the big Demoness.

Risa only took a moment to get back, carrying Nimue in one muscular arm, and waiting expectantly for Wolfe to ask his question.

"I have hit the peak of Rank Six already, and it appears that I have to go on some sort of quest. Do you know anything about this urge?" Wolfe asked.

"Ah, the Overlord\'s breakthrough. There should be a spot somewhere that is just right in environment for your body to advance to the overlord state, and it will naturally want to go there. If you were Fae, you likely would have broken through directly, as you are in the most mana dense spot in a massive Fae Forest, full of powerful Fae, during a festival, where witches were breaking through in massive numbers.

Come to think of it, we should ask and see if that actually happened to some of the guests so that we can throw a party for them as well. Rank Seven is a big deal in every culture.

Once you find the right spot, new power will infuse your body and change it, making you closer to immortal, or at least that\'s what happens for Demons. Who knows what happens for Magi, maybe you\'ll get an elemental sidekick as a consolation prize or something." Risa guessed with a laugh.

While he couldn\'t completely rule that out, Wolfe suspected that it would have more to do with the Elemental Aptitudes than the number of sidekicks that he had. He still hadn\'t had time to pursue an extra Adept Level elemental affinity since he broke through to Rank Six, but he should be able to do it later. Most of the Saints were said to have developed their skills to astounding levels later in life, as opposed to having been born as young geniuses.

"Alright, then I will have to head out. The compulsion is too strong to keep doing meetings today, so please make sure that the important matters are handled for me. I will return as soon as I am able, and hopefully with a few new skills and some extra power to show for it." Wolfe explained.

"Got it, boss. I will warn the Witches, but they\'re going to be so busy being congratulated that it won\'t make much difference anyhow. Just be sure to open the link again when you become an Overlord and let us lowly helpers mooch some of the benefits.

I\'ve heard many great things about being linked to an Overlord, and one of them is that if you are contracted as they advance, you can sometimes gain a bit of aptitude related to their skills when you do.

That is why most Rank Six Demons work so hard as they get close to advancement. If they can get an Elemental Aptitude to Adept, they can pass some of that skill to their followers. I heard that one of the former Magic Kingdom Queens did that for arcane magic, and that is why everyone in the Kingdom is still so good at it.

Aptitude is passed down in the bloodline, after all. The stronger the parents are at conception, the stronger the child will be born."

Wolfe smirked. "Got it. Advance my magical aptitudes to get a third one to Adept and try for Expert in one before advancing, then come back and make adorable and powerful babies."

Risa laughed. "For most, that would be a joke, but for you, I feel like it\'s more of a personal challenge. Good luck with that, and may your heirs be powerfully adorable."

Wolfe laughed as he rushed out of the underground and took flight, going supersonic as soon as he was far enough above the treeline that the shockwave wouldn\'t bother the people on the ground. He didn\'t know where he was going, but the feeling was pulling him northeast, toward the Eastern Volcano, the lone mountain that marked the eastern edge of the barrier mountains at the northern border of the Frozen Wastes, right next to the border of the Grand Dutchies, and a number of other human majority eastern nations.
