Chapter 1713: Distributing the Lot of the World III
Azief could not help but sighed when he saw Oreki stand up in defense of Hikigaya.
"He is not governed by emotion but interest" but then he shakes his head.
Azief knows Oreki. He might not know Oreki as well as Hikigaya but from the reports he had on him, Azief had made some profile on him
Oreki is usually an apathetic, cynical and calm person. This is the report that his spies managed to get from some of Oreki friends.
In his youth, he has passive demeanor, and usually seems to conserve his energy, never exerts effort on anything unless absolutely necessary; thus, coming off as sluggard.
Also, because of his attitude, Oreki doesn't talk much, and he rarely gets mad, though he does appear to get irritated often.
He doesn't express his emotions much. On the other hand, he is surprisingly smart and clever, having brilliant deduction skills
In his high school life, it seems he is quite highly regarded by his friend. It is because of this clam personality that he managed to lead his fellow school members to safety, using the school as a fort to level up and then quickly organize a fighting force before slowly becoming a warlord.
But, Azief looking at Oreki right now, it is like looking at a different person. Rash, impatient, and far away from being calm.
Azief think for a second and he believe he knows why this is happening to Oreki.
"The person affect the law; the law affect the person" Azief believe that Oreki choosing lightning element that also include fire in it affected him as much as he affected it.
Azief himself felt this.
When you are delving deep into the laws that is associated with certain emotions, it affected you and changed you.
From what he saw right now, Oreki had just broken through to Divine Comprehension realm, and as such his control over the lightning in his body is still quite unstable.
But this is actually a good thing. It means that Oreki does not only master the physical side of the laws but also the intangible parts of it, the concepts and even the association with the laws.
Lightning is a physical force.
It is fire.
It is heat.
But it is also associated with impetuousness.
It is also associated with wrath, anger. This association is born in the psyche of humans, of living beings.
It is faith.
And faith has power.
A power that could create miracles.
And if Oreki could harness this kind of faith, this psyche that turns into belief, he could move further than someone that only understood the tangible, that only master the physical
It is like those who master the element of fire. Fire could burn houses, cities, nations, mountains and rivers
This is the physical aspect. But those who master the intangible properties of fire could ignite anger in the enemies heart, could ignite emotional response
Azief himself is slowly delving into that kind of mastery. And it would take him a long time to master this
"Rash, impetuous. It is a pity. Given enough time, Oreki would not be so rash" but now, things had already happened.
It still could be salvaged when Hikigaya stand up but the moment when Oreki stand up, Raymond could no longer just sit back down.
It would appear like he is pressured by the two twin Sages of Japan.
This has to do with power projection, prestige and face of the world powers
needs to do as he nodded
Azief sigh and he make sure that his sign echoes in the room
And then he taps one of his fingers on the table.
A wisp of energy is released when he taps his finger.
This energy spreads almost in an instant.
In one moment, Raymond energy that was bursting out was suppressed, Hikigaya clouds of illusion that has just begins to spread out all over the floor and the slithering electricity arc that Oreki had produces, all of it was blown away by this small wisp of energy
It is like a gust of wind blowing all smoke.
Just like that. Simple, effortless, domineering
Then Azief raise his hand and put his hand down and suddenly all three of them feel a powerful force like a world pushing them down as they were forced to sit back down on their
seat.
All three of them look at Death Monarch with a complicated expression. Yes, they feel grateful that Death Monarch break that awkward situation
But at the same time, they could not believe that they, a Divine Comprehension realm leveler
could so easily be controlled by Death Monarch
It felt like they were children facing a giant. Like a father chastising his children
The force is oppressive but not so overbearing that they would feel pain.
It is probably also a warning by Death Monarch.
A kind of reminder of what a deterrence he is to the world
Azief nodded and then said
"Let's not talk about those other.... disturbing things in this room. Let settle this first. Then
after all of this is settled, maybe when you all have space from each other, the conclusion you reached today would change"
"What do you think about that Earthshaker?" Azief ask as he look at Raymond and then he
looks at Hikigaya and Oreki
"Illusionist Archmage? Thunder King? Give me some face?" The three nodded. Azief has
already the chance to step down, they would of course take it.
"Of course,' Hikigaya answers
Raymond nodded.
Azief however is thinking about a different thing the moment they sit down. He looks again at
that holographic image of the world and he could not help but keep shaking his head.
He was surprised that out of all the ten seas the League of Freedom would choose the Sea of
Light.
After all, he heard rumors from the grapevine that that the League of Freedom was
considering the Whirling Sea and even the Sea of Monsters
