“Hard to tell. Probably should've brought a line and a rod with me to check. Although I think we should better get a move on and end the investigation first.”

Xenon answered
 
No sooner than later,taking the path in the right forward,the group were soon meet with a (somewhat) open field with only very few trees around,a small moat around the tree in the middle and...apparently charred carcass of the tree monster "Treant".

“They took down the Treant after all...but did they seriously have to go overboard with the fire spells?”

Xenon remarked as he looked around. The trees seemed to have some severe burns on them,while ashes could be found just about anywhere on the ground.

“Papa,what is....that?”

Ruri asked,pointing ahead at the man-made structure in front of them that was barely hidden if it weren't for its pearl white exterior.

“I...don't know actually. Sidney,you know anything that building over there?”
 
"Never seen that kind of structure before. Maybe this could be where those cultists reside. I would suggest we go in. If they spot you, bash their heads." Sidney said.​
 
“Got it.”

Xenon agreed,unsheathing the Artic Rose as they approached the structure. Looking at the right,there is another pathway which he presumed to be where the other three would be coming from.

“Wonder what's taking them so long though?”
 
“There shouldn't be something that could disable Lorna's use of spells in case though,right?”

--------------------------------------------------
“This knife here has a form of toxin that causes a person to lose access to using any magic for a short period of time.”

Cheng explained to Amelia,inspecting a blade that was stuck on the carcass of a Mushussu. The handle seem to have snapped long ago and hence could leave a cut on anyone unlucky enough to be grazed by it.

“This is a possible sign that the cults may be here indeed as we thought. Hunters and Adventurers wouldn't be using a dagger against a creature with exoskeleton such as this beast here. Well,I'd say it's a good thing that Lorna didn't get poked by the poisonous thongs of the Mushussu. Although.....”

The two of them turned around and looked at Lorna,who,like earlier,found her boots stuck in mud again,only this time the mud was just below the laces of her boots as she struggled to no avail to get out. As a matter of fact,Lorna's boots actually sunk that deep down due to her constantly and desperately squirming to free her legs out of the thick quagmire. The reason she was not using the "Float" spell? She got a small cut from the knife containing the "magic disable" toxin.

“Well....maybe I should've brought a rope too.”

"Um...I would be in need of assistance please." Lorna pleaded.​

“Your staff isn't long enough for us to reach and grab to try to pull you out without getting stuck ourselves.”

Cheng explained before looking at Amelia's hammer,then back at Lorna,who was now grabbing and tugging at her right boot with all her might while the mud simply squelched and sucked in protest to her futile attempt to escape,acting more like a pool of adhesive substance that's gluing her boots into the ground.

“Fortunately for us,Amelia's hammer is long enough to reach your hold.”

"Ah yes, that would be most appreciated." Lorna said before Amelia reaches her hammer to her. She grabbed on the drill and right before she could say anything, Amelia immediately lifts her off the mud and slams Lorna onto the ground. "Ah...ghck..." Lorna did not expect how strong Amelia is.​
 
“Sorry about that. We don't know exactly how strong the mud's hold is on you.” Cheng apologised as he helped Lorna up, “Now then,we should get moving first before getting the mud off your boots (they're adding extra weigh on her legs),I'm sure Xen and the others are-.”

He was cut off by the sound of a man screaming at the top of his lungs from above. Next thing the trio knew,they saw a robed man falling headfirst onto the ground in front of them.

“..We better hurry,now.”

------------------------------------------------------------
“Uh....”

Was all that left Xenon's lips as he and the group watched,flabbergasted at the event unfolding in front of them. Apparently,by the time they had arrived,the cultists had ended up summoning the "powerful being".....which is a young man who looks to be in his twenties,had messy white hair and blue eyes and wore a blue modern-esqe long jacket and getup that,to some,would probably have him mistook as someone from some boy band. The few things the group saw so far that suggest that unnamed man is indeed the summoned "being" was the fact that he casually resisted the "Control" spell from the leader,started demonstrating some monstrous strength (One of which involved him straight up uppercutting a man up and away from inside the structure they're in) and also his right arm looking more....scaly and demonic-like with glowing blue lines on it. That is barring the summoned "beings" questions of where had he been brought to too,where he sounded more like some normal person than what one would expect a dangerous summonable figure to act like.

“Do we even need to do anymore bashing now? He's handling them pretty easily on his own,and I think it's now down to just a tenth of the cultists left.”
 
"I think we should sit back and watch, or maybe go in and fight that guy because we don't know if he is evil or not." Sidney said.​
 
Before Xenon could answer,one of the cultists was sent flying by the summoned stranger,happening to fly by above the group's heads before crashing onto the wall of the structure.

“Sorry 'bout that!”

The man yelled at the group before raising his right arm to block a blade strike,retaliating with blow to the gut at the assailant.

“Yeah...I think we should just wait and try talking to him once it's over.”

“Xen!” Cheng yelled from behind,prompting the four to turn around as they were greeted by the remaining three member of the party. “Right so uh...what's going now?”

“I think what's happening in front of us answers it all.”

Xenon responded,pointing behind him where the beatdown was nearing its end. Ruri took note of the thick layer of mud coating Lorna's boots and asked.

“Um...miss Lorna,what did getting stuck feel like..?”
 
A moment after she had responded,the last cultist had been taken down by the stranger,who was now dusting off his hands while letting off a whistle in relief.

“Alright,that's the last of them. So uh...”

The summoned man looked at the group,not out of malicious intent but more of genuine confusion of the location he found himself in.

“Someone mind telling me where I'm at? I was kinda busy taking care of some business back in my world.”
 
"You're in Vesperpool." Ryutaro answered "Those guys you've beaten up are those who summoned you, and as well as wanting to use your powers."
 
“Ah.....figures....”

The man cursed under his breath before asking.

“Sorry but,mind if I join you guys? I don't really know much about your world so I think I'm gonna need some guide while figuring out how I could get back.”

Xenon's chin rested under his fingers as he thought.

“Well...an interdimensional gate spell is nonexistent,and there's no records of an arch leading to others worlds so....sure.”

Xenon then turned to look at everyone else in the group.

“What do you guys think?”

“Huh? Oh,alright then.”

Xenon looked back at the stranger,only for the latter to already have responded.

“It's okay. I can wait.”

--------------------------------------------------
No sooner than later,everyone else bar the summoned stranger was now outside of the structure.

“Alright,what is it you got in mind Ryutaro?”
 
"Remember what I've said about "quality over quantity"? As much as I like to have him join the ride...what can he do?" Ryutaro said.​
 
“Wait,you couldn't sense it?”

“Xen. You're the only one who probably noticed what we don't. So it'd be wise not to leave us in the dark there.”

Cheng remarked.

“Right. He....doesn't only have the immense strength he showed us earlier. I noticed he seems to be radiating some auras of the magic elements pretty subtly.”

Xenon explained before adding.

“Plus,I don't actually intend on letting him join us fully. He said he just needed some guidance of Gaia. Once he knows then he'll probably be on his way to find any ways to leave our world.”
 
After much thinking later, Ryutaro has decided "I guess you can say that. Fine, he comes."
 
--------------------------------------------------
“Here. It'll get you up to date regarding this world before you go off on your own.”

“Thanks. I owe you guys one.”

The man,who had introduced himself as "Clair",thanked Xenon as he was handed a newspaper reporting the current updates on whatever was occuring around Gaia. He had been briefly explained to about the unfamiliar land he is by Cheng and Lorna beforehand,thus whatever he read was not too confusing for him to take in. That said,Clair did not look pretty comfortable being on the airship with the group,especially with Ryutaro's subtle (but justified) look of distrust towards him.

“Look,I can just leave you guys for good once you made your next stop. You have every reason not to trust me after all.”
 
"Nonsense, how can we let you go without know how to get you back home?" Lorna said.​
