Chapter 134: 134. The Horseman.

"Tell me, Horseman, do you really think this plan will work?"

In a corner of the dimly lit room, a voice emerged from the dark shadowed wall. "That is for you to decide. The celestial one will not accept any excuses if there are errors in executing the plan, and failure is not an option," The voice of the unknown entity was deep, ominous, and extremely scary.

"I know, but aren't you supposed to be my protector? And as my protector, I need to know if my plan is good enough to work. The celestial one brought you to me because he believes in me, right? So you are expected to obey my commands."

"Yes, the celestial one believes in you. However, I obey no one but the celestial one. I might be a protector, but that doesn't mean that I'll be willing to help you if you fail in this mission.

The celestial one's goal is to bring the world back to a period of war, but if you can't successfully carry out the task that is required of you, I won't hesitate to end you myself," Two beads of crimson eyes glowed in the dark and Phil screamed with fear the moment he saw this.

The Horseman slowly stepped out of the darkness to approach Phil.

"If you think you are good enough to give me orders, then be of use to the celestial one, succeed in this meager task you've been ordered to complete, then I'll make sure the celestial one rewards you with unfathomable power," His footsteps echoed loudly within the room, resonating with the sound of the dark metallic armor he was wearing.

Upon stepping out of the darkness, Phil's gaze landed on the eight-foot-tall armored being whose armor seemed like it was burning with black flames.

The Horseman had glowing crimson eyes that looked like they could burn the soul of anyone who stared into his eyes for too long.

It didn't take a genius to see and understand just how strong the Horseman was.

His strength far exceeded that of Phil's, and it was all thanks to the celestial one for making him very strong.

Phil wished to be just as strong as the Horseman and he couldn't wait to have the power to bring all the Apex Mages to their knees.

Seeing that The Horseman wasn't interested in revealing the truth to him, Phil decided to focus on the mission.

He turned towards the door and asked. "Is anyone there?"

"Yes, my Lord," A guard walked into the room and bowed towards Phil.

"Good, let Axel know that I would like to see him," The guard acknowledged Phil's orders before leaving the room.

A few minutes later, Axel walked into the room.

Axel was bald and covered in full body armor. He had previously been training some of his men before Phil requested to see him.

"My Lord, you called?"

"Yes, gather your men, we're leaving tonight."

"Huh? My Lord, does the Bishop know about this?"

The Bishop was currently the one in charge of the cathedral, which happened to be the building above the underground building they were in.

As long as the dark guild continued to remain in the underground building, the King wouldn't try to lay a finger on them, which was why Axel wanted them to inform the Bishop before they did anything they would regret doing.

"It's alright, Axel, just gather your men, we'll be done before you even know it."
