Chapter 854: Summoning Here



"Mhmm?"

It was actually Vale who was surprised instead. He had no idea who this woman was. Though he could tell that she was the captain of the ship based on her uniform and the people following her, he still couldn't remember.

Realizing this, she immediately gestured for the others to leave.

As soon as they were alone, she immediately reported to Vale.

"Lord Vale, I am from the Arcane Bureau, and I am working for Agent Fox... You must know her. I'm not sure if you have already received the report, but my team discovered the presence of another Demon Saint hiding in our realm. We're on our way there to investigate. Are you also here to support us?"

Vale was a bit surprised after hearing this. Faith was supposedly coordinating with the Arcane Bureau. There was also Director Virgo in the Bureau who should be telling him about this. 'I guess it's not important, or I'm just too busy that they couldn't report to me.' He mused. "I'm not even aware of it. Where is that place, Captain Ashley?" He asked. Though he didn't recognize the woman, there was a nameplate on her chest, so he was aware of her name.

"It's actually in a small city in Pallham Empire." She replied.

"Do you know the rank of this Demon Saint?" Vale asked.

"Thanks to the Demon Saints that were under your command, we learned that this Demon Saint is most likely the Rank Zero. The one son of the current Demon Lord named Entei... However, it's also most likely that he's together with Antares, another unranked Demon Saint who only serves the Rank Zero."

"That's an interesting news... Very well, I'll join you. This mission is a bit too dangerous for you guys." Vale said as he decided to just make a quick visit to his castle later on to give Sloth's Soul to Denise.

Captain Ashley was overjoyed by this since the danger level of their mission would surely fall if the Shadow Immortal himself, who was able to save them from the Abyss Invasion, would join the investigation group.

After this small encounter, Vale decided to continue exploring the Airship. Well, he might have to consider designing one for himself, so it wasn't a bad thing to get some ideas.

As he walked around, he somehow reached the kitchen area, perhaps because of the smell of the food.

One of the ship's cook, an Alchemist named Thistle, brewed stardust tea, a famous tea among the noble Arcanistss after recognizing Vale...

Well, he was actually part of the Arcane Bureau...

"Thank you..." Vale said as he received the tea from the kind cook.

She leaned against the Airship's railing while her gaze sweeping across the crowded deck. The presence of so many Dark Arts and Holy Arts practitioners intrigued her-two hundred of the former and thirty of the latter.

It was simply too suspicious.

"Is there some sort of trouble?" She muttered as she didn't want to get tangled in such trouble right now...

Why would so many practitioners of opposing arts converge here? What a bad timing...

As a Time Manipulator, she held an advantage. If this vessel turned into a battlefield, she could slip through the temporal seams, escaping unscathed.

As for the innocent people, she didn't care about them.

But her curiosity gnawed at her-since it had been quite peaceful lately, she was somehow looking forward to seeing some blood.

'Mhmmm?'

Suddenly, she had a bad feeling. Her instincts had always saved her in various situations, and

they were actually telling her not to use any of her Temporal Spells right now.

For some reason, she felt that her Temporal Spells, even wielded subtly, might draw

attention and it could be perilous.

'Fine... Let's just see what happens...' She said to herself.

Thankfully, the day passed uneventfully.

However, as the night fell, Elysia's unease deepened.

The Holy Arts practitioners gathered in a circle as they started a ritual-and she recognized it.

'They're summoning an Angel here?!'
