McElroy's side

Finally a standalone episode to talk about myself .

Well then let's not waste any words and begin .

First let me begin with my introduction.

My name is McElroy as you might know . I came from the world where Jay was before but it seems that that was a lie . I am from this world which was proven by many proofs. And I somehow don't remember anything except my name , language and my skills . Like muscle memory .

I travel with Jay because he's my one and only chance to look for the gate keys and get out of this damned world . But as that happens I do like to enjoy my life .And just by being with him there is always something new to see.

Like who would've thought we would break inside a kingdom which was regressing Incompletely .

Then who would've thought I would interact with spirits who I had just heard names of . And end up travelling to the past when we were sucked inside the hole .

Well now about some thing which might bother some people . The God Slayer thing . Truth is I don't fully understand it either . Sound more of a fairy tail than anything . That ice dragon has definitely mistaken me for someone else .

Why McElroy doesn't believe the dragon .

A tale which began after the ice dragon battle was over .

Inside the bathroom .

McElroy:

Bow down mortals I am the strongest of them all . The God Slayer. Let me show you my true form .

(Cool pose ) Transform .

Nothing happened .

McElroy: (Acting smug)

That was just to get your hopes up ladies and gentlemen . Here I go now Transform .

Nothing happened .

I think we should move forward . From this embarrassing story .

We left Era in Serlet's care and left on our seperate routes . Jay left for the mountains while I left for the marshes .

My location was a bit closer than Jay so I was able to arrive quickly . I took two pages of moveset from Jay . And seriously I considered using the same methods for faster travelling .

But I modified the methods in my own . What he use to call the jetpack or the rocket . Now it's mine .

At first he used to jump from a high place . To get the time to start the ignition in his soles and then propelling himself through fire magic at first the magic required is increased since he has to move against gravity .

After a sufficient height is reached he tilts himself in the position he wants to go .

I modified that method. Instead of jumping I lauch myself using the earth . I control the earth and make it move at such a speed that it launches me in the air . The earth is also kept slant at 45° .

Then use water magic on my sole and increase its flow so that it propells me forward just like Jay .

Just one problem the water jet seems like a great idea but only has one down side .

I can't use it for long time . The propulsion has to be kept in check or if I lose control I can go straight crashing down .

Flying once again in the air gives me the joy of freedom and when I look down it starts raining all over the place .

In this starte I can cross atleast 1 forest . And 1mountain is I'm at my peak at the start . This fair bit helps me get to the places quickly . And rest of the way I can go on the boots .

But they are severely worn out . I don't think we're going to get these shoes again .

And when I run at full speed they ture me out really fast and strain my feet very much .

While I one sidedly interacted with my wonderful audience I reached the marshes and let me teel you the moment I saw it

The first instinct I had was to turn back and go home . But I moved forward .

I kept marching through the marsh . Filled with God knows what . It had a stagnant pungent smell in the air . That I couldn't disperse because I was lacking in wind related magic . And the stones I had were only made for battle . I couldnt just use them casually .

As I looked for the plant in the swamp I felt something grab my feet . And I was dragged beneath the water .

It was a plant which was bound to my feet .

It was a parasitic plant native to the marsh .

It drags it's victims into the water drown them and then consume them entirely not even bones are left .

But I McElroy cannot fally prey to such dangerous creatures . Also I can breathe underwater.

It was grabbing my feet . So I freed myself from its tentacles and returned to somewhat solid ground until I was once again in some monsters stomach acting to be that part of solid ground .

I once again cut a hole through its stomach and stepped outside .

McElroy:

Jay must be having a hell of a time . Sightseeing the mountains and their breathtaking views meanwhile I'm stuck here bouncing from one trap to next without rest .

Meanwhile Jay .

Jay :

(Panting) I shouldn't have used up my mana . Now it feels like I'm going to die while climbing .

Jay grabbed the ledge but it was not solid and it quickly crumbled and ash fell on Jays face and he fell .

Jay : (Falling)

Aaaahhhhhhhh .

Returning to the scene .

I'm nearing the end of my patience . Where is the moonlight grass . I can't seem to find it anywhere .

Truth is I feel like every grass is now the moonlight grass . It looks all the same where is it .

That's when I remembered Serlet telling me something crucial .

The moonlight grass is a grass which grows in the marshes specifically . Just like the Ash flower it can't be planted in the soil or it dies . Theoonlight grass is used specifically for adjusting the solution and it's controlling it's attributes to an tolerable limit .

The moonlight grass glows with a bright blue colour but in the dark . Travellers used these grass to move in night because it provided adequate amount of light to live forward.

The shelf life of the grass is high compared to others lasting around 1 year .

It is distinguishable with others at night when it glows .

The insects in the marshes pissed me off . Constantly climbing on my body . For God knows what reason .

And now I have to wait until nighttime .

After the repeating of the cycle countless times . I was so pissed off I in my rage froze the entire water body . And then alligators started to chase after me.

I fought then off with Gunther as I sprayed them with bullets .

I sat on a frozen throne on frozen water . For some rest .

McElroy:

I wonder how is Jay doing right now .

Meanwhile

King :

So you are having trouble sending mana to the lava due to the distance.

Then you should go closer .

The Fire King threw Jay into the volcano once again .

Jay :

Noooooooooo

Returning.

McElroy:

He must be having fun while I'm stuck here .

Finally the night came bringing along the darkness it held within itself . But the marshes were a different story as the moonlight grass started glowing with a bright blue colour and there were fireflies roaming around.

Finally the wait was over and I went over to a patch of grass to harvest it .

I almost harvested the moonlight grass but someone held my hand.

? :

Stop , this is not how you're supposed to take the grass out .

I looked to the side . Was a lady standing with quite elegance and her clothes resembled some sort of empress. Those clothes were worn matched the colour of water as well as ice maybe something like an ice cold princess would wear .

But her attire was less visible .

She looked young by her face and she was pale in skin . Almost looking like Albino . And her hair was on a split side .

With a cold and calm voice she replied .

? :

The moonlight grass contains poison that can cause paralysis if handled carelessly .

What paralysis that Serlet didn't tell me anything about it .

McElroy:

My bad , but thanks for warning me.

She bent down and made an ice scapel . Which she cut a small incision and a purple liquid started oozing out. This is the poison chemical name

Triamdopterenol .

It's a mild paralytic but paralysis here would be not much of a help .

He then cut the grass and handed me some .

? :

Here.

McElroy:

Thanks for the help .

She was going to leave but McElroy asked.

McElroy:

May I know your name .

? :

Interesting , there is someone in the lands who doesn't know my name. Speak your name child .

McElroy:

My name is McElroy.

? : (Mildly annoyed )

Well I'm in quite a good mood today . So I can spare you some details .

Have you heard of the masters of elements.

McElroy:

I don't remember where but I think I have heard .

? : (Somewhat annoyed )

Have you lived your life under a rock this whole time.

McElroy:

Well no , I am not from here I'm actually trying to get back . But somehow ended up here .

So I apologise if you are someone I am supposed to know.

? :

Very well it can't be helped , I am the master of water and ice , the one who is known by many names . Some call me ' The Storm of the Seas'

while others call me 'The Ice Empress'

I am Aurea Wales .

McElroy:

What are you doing all the way here.

Aurea :

I'm heard from someone that there is something in the marshes that I'm looking for .

McElroy:

And may I know what is it .

Aurea :

Talent , I'm looking to raise a disciple . That will be my successor.

McElroy:

Well I hope you find him .

I started to walk away .

Aurea forze the path before me with ice .

Aurea :

Did I give my permission to leave.

This ice floor that you've created is quite strong .

It seems that you have a good hold over ice .

I should test it .

With the wave of her hand two knights made of ice were spawned. And started attacking me .

But I took the advantage first and leaped and formed a massive ice hammer and shattered them both and due to excess strenght the floor beneath and sinked in the water .

I swam to the surface .

Aurea :

I've made my descision you will be my disciple . Nice to meet you McElroy.

McElroy: (In water floating )

I have to hurry and deliver it .The grass .

Aurea made a bird of ice and handed it the grass and it flew away .

Aurea :

No we don't have any problems , (Intimidation)

Or do We ?

McElroy: (Intimidated)

No mam .
