Saturn 5

Kronos Faction Home Planet

A magus flew toward the palace, his excitement palpable as he hurried through the grand corridors. Bursting into the main hall, he interrupted a meeting in progress. "Father!! Have you heard?! The faction has made a move on that lowly Earthlink!"

The grand magus, surrounded by advisors and high-ranking officials, remained undisturbed by the interruption. His presence exuded authority and calm. With a slight gesture, he dismissed his subjects, who quickly and quietly exited the room, leaving father and son alone.

"Yes, I have heard... it seems our effort to stir up those in the Magus Academy has borne fruit. Lady Ishtar has made her move."

The magus's eyes gleamed with excitement. Lady Ishtar of the Astiel family was a formidable force, one of the powerful branch families with strength surpassing most grade 3 factions. Her involvement would surely spell disaster for the Earth faction.

"Father, please let me go there. I want to see their demise with my own eyes," he implored.

Unfortunately, the grand magus's response was firm. "No... there isn't much we can assist with that she doesn't already have. Besides, Lady Ishtar has always been unpredictable. If we get on her bad side, it might be us who suffer a loss. No, we will closely watch from the sidelines."

"But father...!" the magus protested, his irritation evident.

The grand magus's patience wore thin. His voice rose in anger, "Huh!! You should focus on your training! It's been so long, and you still haven't reached the full moon realm?! Look at your two brothers; both of them are almost ready for their cosmic tribulations. What about you?!" Fôllôw new stories at no/v(e)lb/in(.)com

The young magus quickly knelt on the floor, his desperation palpable. "Father... if that bastard hadn't made me lose my real body, I would have reached the full moon long ago.... Please, father.... I need to see him dead!"

The elder listened intently, occasionally nodding as Klein detailed the defenses and capabilities of Terra's forces. When Klein finished, the elder's stern expression softened slightly. "Good, this information is useful," he said, a hint of approval in his voice. "You may return to your post."

Respectfully, he said, "Elder, I heard the young master is looking for me."

"No, he is with important guests. You can seek him tomorrow," the elder replied, dismissing him with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, elder," Klein responded, bowing slightly before turning away.

Instead of returning to his post, Klein wandered around the estate, engaging in casual conversations with some of the guards. He then made his way towards the expansive garden in the west wing of the estate, a secluded and serene area rarely frequented by others at this hour. Soon enough, a figure emerged from the darkness, moving with a silent grace. Recognizing the presence, Klein immediately knelt in respect.

"Master, I have done as you asked," he said, keeping his head bowed.

The shadowy figure was Emery in disguise. He had invested hours meticulously ensnaring the Croft magus with his [Partial Soul Enslavement], bending the man's will to his own. Under this compulsion, the magus conducts a thorough survey of the heavily fortified estate for him.

Emery used his mastery of spirit reading to probe the Magus memory, glean critical details about the estate's layout, security protocols, and other important notes happening in the estate.

The Croft estate, a testament to their military prowess, housed a formidable contingent of over fifty magus and four grand magus; one of them was in two cosmos realms.

After confirming there was no spirit master grand magus among them, Emery instructed the magus to return to his post, emphasizing the need for him to remain hidden as a future informant.

Emery then delved into the gathered information, particularly interested in the upcoming important meeting attended by the young master.

"Now let's see what you Croft are up to,"
