Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 284

City of Valora...Alliance HQ

"So, what should we do to avoid extreme losses if any such scenario arises or an even more dangerous scenario appears?" one of the members asked.

"There is nothing much we could do if the cult starts its attack. If we activate all the boundary formations, the amount of resources that would be burned would be too much. Even if we win, we may not come out of the resource crisis that would plague us for the next few years at the least", one said.

"Yeah, if we let the cults attack, then the human deaths would be too high, and that could lead to rebellions", another chimed in.

The position the alliance found itself in was very dangerous.

Though they might have apprehended the leader of the Cult, the cultists could now attack everywhere without backing away in order to inflict damage to the alliance before they could do the same to them.

The occasion that was supposed to ease the issue with the cult might have escalated, and the alliance may not have a solution to deal with it.

"There is not much we can do about it, except send orders to all awakeners to be alert, and guard the towns, villages, and cities they live in or nearby", another one spoke.

Viren stood up and spoke, "It is true that we can’t protect the alliance very well, as we don’t know where the cult members might strike. Also, we can’t operate the protective barriers all the time. That would drain our resources".

"So, my plan was to create missions, active missions for Hunters, students and whoever was capable enough to fight, to hunt any cult members and for that, there would be enough rewards".

"Though it too may cost us a lot of resources, active elimination of the cult members would be less costly, and the people would trust us 100%. Also, in the future, the same people who helped us eliminate the cultists would help us fill the treasury quickly".

Everyone was surprised by the bold initiative.

Though a lot of students were deployed, most were not in active war zones, and the ones in such zones would be in the rear and would be in support roles.

Even though many thought it was bold and may be ridiculous, there was no other choice. Of course, it was not passed as it was. The missions would be posted, and the students can choose them voluntarily.

If they don’t take, there would be no punishment for that.

In addition to that, the members put on several more ideas, most are ridiculous, but a few held merit and were properly discussed.

---

Aaron has no idea what is happening around the world. Even if the world is ablaze, as long as the people he cares about are not inside the blaze, he wouldn’t worry.

Sure, he would try to help put out the fire, but he won’t worry too much.

He returned to the fort after collecting the dungeon. The Core was safe inside his storage, away from the eyes of others. One might not know how they die if they don’t see the greed in the eyes of others.

Because of greed, even ones who were considered best friends would betray each other, much less strangers who don’t know each other.

If anyone found that he gained a dungeon core, sure, the powerful family members wouldn’t care much, thinking that it was a low-ranking one, but someone who didn’t have any background, for them, it was like a piece of heaven.

They would try everything that they could to get their hands on that piece of heaven. Even if they don’t use it, they could sell that or open it for others to use for a small fee. Whatever way they choose to operate, it could give them a lot of benefits.

Moreover, this is a dungeon with Rank-5 monsters. Even rich and powerful family children would be interested in such dungeons.

So, he placed that inside the space storage and decided to never take it out until it was time to place the core to spawn a dungeon in some place that he controls, which most likely would not be in the near future, but he didn’t care much.

He would expand his family in the near future. With so many girlfriends, he was sure that his descendants would be in a very high number. So, getting hands on a few dungeon cores is important, not just for levelling purposes but also to find loot that can promote crafting professionals.

In a big family, there would be all kinds of professionals, not just combat professionals.

The only reason why combat professions are seen as important and the most sought category among non-awakeners is that these professions require less financial input while starting out, but they would have to face dangers regularly and have a high chance of dying young.

The crafters, on the other hand, have their own advantage of not dying young like the combat professionals, but they require a lot of resources while starting out.

Unless one comes from a powerful background, they can’t progress much.

The combat professionals face death every day, but they level up faster and get to have higher lifespans, though they most likely never enjoy the lifespan and die before it ends. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Crafters, on the other hand, would age as they wouldn’t be able to reach higher ranks, which increases their lifespan, but most of them tend to enjoy all their life, expect in situations like war or when there were attacks from internal enemies, but they do live longer than most combat professionals, even with a little lifespan.

The point was that the crafters are the ones who create the weapons, potions, talismans, etc... which would be very useful for the combat professionals. So, those among civilians being a crafter is a curse, among the powerful families, that is a boon.

The family would spend a lot of resources on them, protect them 24x7, and they don’t need to place themselves in danger ever, unless their family was attacked and there was no other option.

So, for the development of a family, the a need for EXP dungeons and Loot dungeons as well. This would be just a start for Aaron, as he started to think about obtaining more cores for the future.

One may wonder that he is still young, but such things can’t be done in a short time. It would take a long time, and he has to start preparing for that from now on.

As Aaron was contemplating his future plans, he received a call on his communicator. He took it out to see it was Lyanna, the Vice-Headmistress.
