Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 1075: 1075 Cleanup Crew

In theory, the solution to the problem was simple. Use magic to scoop up a portion of the ocean floor and move the contents on top away from the barrier.

The problem was that the barrier was damaged, and the null stone was saturated with curse energy, so Wolfe couldn’t be certain that it was even stable anymore.

The first scoop went smoothly enough, and Wolfe was careful to keep his magic away from the piles of Null stone as he relocated it out into what looked like it might have been a park at one point in the past.

The plant life was all changed, but there were still the remnants of a metal frame that looked like a children’s play set.

“So, we move it away from the barrier and that removes its power source?” The Selkie asked hopefully as Wolfe continued to work, swimming around the perimeter of the house as he dug a massive moat to remove the saturated null stone.

“That’s part one of the process. Part two is that I’m going to make a hole and light the Null Stone on fire. It burns exceptionally well, and then I will fill the hole. It will be hot here for a while, but that shouldn’t be nearly as bad as the toxins.

I just need to check for caverns and underground structures before I start. I wouldn’t want to cause any secondary damages to relics that have survived this long.” Wolfe explained.

“You think that there might be a tunnel network under the continent?” One of the mermen asked.

“It would make sense. You can only build so much above ground, and they preferred not to mess with the plant life or the geography, so there are most likely entire cities worth of underground tunnels.

They also didn’t see each other as a military threat, so the tunnels would have been a convenient way to link their properties together.

There were human populations on most of the surface as well, and we know that it was at least a full generation while things were getting kicked off, so they might have been a safety feature.”

“The war on the surface lasted that long?” The Selkie asked.

“Not really. That’s just how long it took the humans to go from ’You must help us enslave our poor’, to ’You are traitors to the world and must be eliminated’.”

The trio of Fae all sighed. “Humans, man. They’re a pain in the backside no matter what the age. But at least they haven’t started up with their heavy tankers again.”

Wolfe shook his head and explained while he worked. “They’ve run out of fuel for them, and they are too short on products to use such large transports. We’ve been working ton convert their shipping infrastructure to magic, but it’s going to take some time before we’re done.

Sail-powered ships with wind magic, or magic-driven tankers would be better for the sea, but the noise would likely be terrifying if they started to run the tankers constantly. Sound really travels underwater.”

The Selkie gestured up toward the surface. “Even from this depth, you can hear the propellors of the massive tankers. If you can convince them to switch to sailing ships, that would be great, they just glide through the water and don’t make a fuss about it.

It’s a little louder to travel on the surface than to swim underwater, but nothing that’s going to bother the whole neighbourhood.”

“I will talk to them about it, and perhaps help them make some cargo worthy sailing ships for goods that aren’t moving by air. Moving things by sea takes much longer, but moving by air takes a lot more energy to get things there in a short time.”

“Why not the Magi Hover Boats? Those don’t make any noise at all, like a bird.” The Selkie asked.

“The designs are lost, but if I understand the word correctly, those will still use a fair bit of mana to move bulk shipments. More than the sailing boats. You see, we value magic users’ work by mana over time, so for those who can’t maintain their own spells, it can be quite costly, and for businesses, the cost of hiring witches and mages gets passed along to the buyers.”

The mermen laughed. “That’s much like the system here under the sea, except some of our members can be bribed with particular fish or shells when you want a spell that you don’t know.”

The Selkie just shrugged her flippers. Fish were good, she would do some stuff for a good fish.

“Alright, everything is piled up in the park, and my Earth Magic says there are no tunnels close enough to this area that they would be an issue. A hundred metres clearance is generally enough, but this stuff has had centuries of absorbing power until it was saturated.

I didn’t even know that was possible, so I’m going to bury it very deep and then light it on fire.”

Wolfe got to work, digging the ground out from around the massive hill of null stone, and sinking it deep into the ocean.

He stopped when the stone was beginning to get hot and soft, as he didn’t want to cause a volcanic eruption, and cast fire magic down into the Null Stone.

For a few seconds, it looked like that trick wasn’t going to work on this pile, but then a few flickers caught, and dark blue flames began to spill raw Unholy Magic into the surrounding waters.

“Well, before we cause a new round of accidental undead, I will make a shrine to the war here at the edge of the park, which can absorb the magic from the flame and cleanse it to pure mana.” Wolfe explained.

Creating a purification array that strong wouldn’t be easy, as the amount of mana leaking out was increasing by the second. But Wolfe realized that he didn’t have to purify it all. He just had to put an array around the fire to strip Elemental Affinity from the leakage, the reverse of what you did with an average spell.

That was simple, and then the curse energy and anything that escaped the filter could be purified.
