"Wait. So let me get this straight. You think that the Silver Polygon Guild has betrayed the nation and that August, the Captain of the Guild is in cahoots with the Mercenary invaders?" Owling repeated with a difficult expression as he gave Freeman a look filled with disappointment. "And you believe the rumors from this evil woman?" he pointed his finger at Lady Margaret. "I.." in the face of Owling's disappointed remarks, Freeman found it difficult to reply. "It's true " Lady Margaret replied confidently. "He believed this rumor because it is no rumor, but the truth " she added. "The truth? and why should I believe the words coming from the mouth of a murderer like you?" Owling scoffed contemptuously. "All you Sentries and your self righteous demeanour seriously pisses me off!" Lady Margaret finally lost her temper as she banged her palm on the desk. Boom!! It was like the descent of a mountain, causing the office desk to explode into smithereens and dust particles.
Inside the Alchemy facility of the Inner Mountain Guild, an old looking man with beards reaching all the way down to his chest, serenely sat on a blue mat.. The old man wore a white robe. On the back of his robe was the embelm of a large cauldron. Floating atop the cauldron were two tongues of yellow colored flames. This was the symbolism of a second rank Bronze tier Alchemist, whose strength was comparable to an Omega Lord. This Alchemist seemed to be scanning through an ancient looking scroll that outlined various rare herbal ingredients, as well as a brief description about them. The Alchemist was so engrossed on the scroll he was reading that he didn't care to pay any attention to his surrounding. Behind the Alchemist was a white bed. On the bed or the Alchemy room was a Human sized cocoon, with various chords attached to it that led to other several complicated machines. However at that moment, thin lines suddenly began to appear on the surface of the human sized cocoon. Cr
"According to my spies in different places, it has been confirmed that the conflict at the Capital City is all a ruse" Lady Margaret informed with pride. "A ruse?" both Freeman and Owling were taken by surprise. Although Freeman was the one who brought Lady Margaret over, he actually didn't know anything regarding the reason for August betrayal. She had only given him faint clues and not the full gist of things. "How can it be a ruse?" Owling felt like his heart was at the tip of his throat. Although the King had intended to keep the conflict at the Capital City a secret since it would show the rulers of the four other regions just how weak he was. Unfortunately, the enemy this time was a tough customer that he had no choice but to request the assistance of the strongest Sentries in the Nation. Even the Nation's number One Sentry and the Capital's Protector had to leave his post to provide assistance But even with this, the situation was still grim. And now, it was even reveal
"This is the place? it's really quite hidden" Aiden commented as he stared at the building a dozen feet away. Besides him was Gregory. "Yep. Not only is it located in a dangerous neighborhood,the local LEA patrolling the area are secretly under the payroll of the Battle Rambo's manager" Gregory nodded slowly. "Hm ? you mean to say the LEA accept bribes?" Aiden was taken aback momentarily."Heh. Wether it's the LEA or the Sentries, neither of them are Saints" Gregory patted Aiden on the shoulder as he began walking towards the Battle Rambo building. Since it was still currently the middle of the day, the battle Rambo wasn't that lively, with several staffs going about as they arranged the place in preparation for the activities to be held in the upcoming night. The duo entered the building with ease as Gregory headed straight towards the receptionist booth. Behind the booth was an old man with dirty beards drinking directly from the bottle of a beer. When the old man saw them app
"Ugh" Rin slightly winced as he rose up on his feet, slightly rubbing his head. Looking around, he noticed that the various customers and the bar tender in the bar were already giving him strange inquisitive looks. "Shit!" He suddenly cussed as terror flashed past in his eyes "You all should leave now before you get caught up in this!" he cried out a warning. Unfortunately, it was already too late for that. Whoosh Purple Rose appeared in front of him like a ghost, swinging her hands towards his stomach. The fingers of the Gauntlet she wore was was very sharp, with it's tip gleaming brilliantly. "Damnit!" somehow Rin could sense a serious threat from this strike which came as a surprise to him, considering the fact that he was extremely confident in the defensive capabilities of his physique. Not daring to take any chances, a pair of Bat like Wings unfurled behind him as he spun to the left while aiming the blades of the wings, slicing towards Purple Rose stomach. "Interes
"What did you do!?" for the first time, Purple Rose eyes became filled with terror as she looked at Aiden. "I just used my special ability on you. It would seem you are not so invincible as you think you are" Aiden chuckled casually as he said this. "Ngh" still feeling that wave of exhaustion, Purple Rose glanced at Rin who was besides Aiden, before breaking into a frown.. Not only was Aiden's attack strange and mysterious to her, it could also effortlessly bypass the effect of *Frog In A Well* , essentially stripping her of her *invincible* status. As a trained assassin of the Red Crows, she had a rich battle experience and knew she had already lost. "No you don't!" Aiden lurched his hand forward when he saw the space around Purple Rose starting to twist. Bang! The Chains Of Erebus shot towards her however Aiden was still a step too late as his attack ended up smashing against the tiles of the bar."Damnit! she escaped!" he gnashed his teeth in regret. "Maybe if you chase aft
"Oh? you came back so quick? did you manage to.." Gregory's voice trailed off when he saw Aiden enter into the bar with an expressionless face. "I caught up with her. Infact we might be having a new team member pretty soon" Aiden replied as his eyes finally roamed over to Rin. Smirking, he slowly approached him. "Why didn't you run?" he sneered. "Uhm.. I apologize for what happened earlier today. I was kind of nervous and thought you were going to call the LEA on me" Rin lied through his teeth.Aiden nodded slowly before glancing around the bar. Thanks to the scuffle they had with Purple Rose, the whole place was currently in a mess. Aiden figured the LEA Enforcers would begin storming the place anytime soon. "I have a lot of things to discuss with you. However this isn't the right place " Aiden said slowly.... "Hm?" Raya had just snuck into Aiden's bedroom and was about to solidify her misty form when she suddenly noticed there was a foreign party in the room. "Huh?" Mari
"Are you really not going to give me the bite?" Gregory whined for the upteenth time as the lightning wings behind him flapped, causing him to remain airborne as he streaked through the air. Besides him was Aiden who also had a pair of lightning wings flapping furiously from behind him. "No" Aiden replied flatly as they flew past a street light which was barely luminating the dark street they had just flew past. Above them, the night skies was still young with tiny glittering stars hanging above. "C'mon stop being stingy. If I become a Red One, then that means my combat strength will increase, thus increasing our chances of survival when we go against the Red Sharks" Gregory stated in a convincing manner. "We're partners after all" he further added. "You are strong just the way you are. Just your arcane mastery alone is capable of giving many people headache " Aiden replied bluntly. "Not to mention being a Red One isn't something glorious or amazing as you think it is. Trust
