183 Chapter 183

Just as what should be expected, the mages from the Southern and Western Country strongly refuses

Not only did they lose a mage that was no different than a nuclear bomb, their opposing country even obtained such a monstrous ‘weapon’. They naturally wouldn’t want Claude to continue living

Even the mage of the Northern Country was giving her verbal support with them. Since there is a way to cut the power of another country, why not do it, right?

This meeting has become a 1 vs 3 and is clearly at the disadvantage of the Eastern Country’s side

It definitely wouldn’t take a short period of time before all four of them managed to meet in the middle and come to an agreement

However, while the four were discussing something, they all turned their heads in a specific direction as they sensed someone trying to enter the isolated space they were in

After just a second, a hole in space appeared and from it, the figure of a mysterious woman appeared

The woman’s face was surrounded by a dark fog. Even her body although is clearly alluring looks a bit vague due to the fog surrounding her

There were even some snakes that were either wrapped around her body or were following her

“Serpentine Empress!” The name or more like the title of this woman entered the four mages’ head

Out of all the 7th rank mages, the most mysterious and possibly the oldest is this woman

No one knows anything about her except for the fact that she has more than one or two underlings at the 7th rank which was unthinkable for others

A mage at that level shouldn’t be people that could be enslaved. They fear no one as nothing can endanger their lives. Why would they become a subordinate of another? There was simply no reason to do so

However, the Serpentine Empress has managed to do whatever other mages have failed to do

Even up to this date, no one knows exactly how many 7th rank mages underlings she has but it should be at least five in number which was a very strong force

The unknown is something that would bring people fear but unfortunately in this world, only Claude Preston was successful in planting a seed of fear in these people’s heart

As for the Serpentine Empress, although it was not as exaggerated as Claude’s, she still managed to make the four uncomfortable

“Serpentine Empress, what are you doing here? This is not a place you should be in” Howling Lightning said, his tone filled with displeasure

What the Twighlight Beast of the Serpentine Empress did to Greenwood City is naturally something that Howling Lightning is aware of

Although 7th rank mages don’t care much for the mortals in the mortal world, it’s not like it was every day that a city almost fell to the hands of others

In fact, if it was not for Claude, the Greenwood City would have really fallen

As such, the Eastern Country definitely doesn’t like the Serpentine Empress and her Twighlight Beast organization

She is not someone that Howling Lightning would want to see

Despite her face surrounded by dark fog, Howling Lightning could sense the disdain thrown at him. It made him feel like the Serpentine Empress was looking at something so unremarkable and no different than trash

Her gaze was no different than the gaze people throw at someone that is millions of times inferior to them

Howling Lightning felt insulted and his mood causes the air to stir. The isolated space trembled as if it would shatter any moment from now if not for the other three mages manipulating the fabric of space to strengthen it

“Calm down” the Ghost Queen said to Howling Lightning. Whatever the Serpentine Empress did to the Eastern Country… she doesn’t care

In fact, if the Eastern Country suffered damages, Ghost Queen and the others would even watch and enjoy the show

“Trust me, what I am about to say would save all of you” the ethereal and dream-like voice of the Serpentine Empress entered the ears of the representatives of the four Countries

For a moment, they felt their insides were funny before they regained their calm. That was just the voice of the Empress yet it was already this deadly. She successfully aroused the others’ desires to see her face

“Save all of us? Are you jesting?” White Hair Hermit scoffed at that

It was true that they are a bit wary of Claude but if they joined hands, even that monstrous bastard wouldn’t be able to do anything to them, right?

Besides, just how big was his Blessed Land? Even if he is a mage with 100% absorption talent that would give him the biggest Blessed Land, his ‘fuel’ would surely be limited

Since Claude didn’t leave any witness or survivor whenever he attacks a 7th rank mage, everyone started to regard him as a mage at the same level as them

If not, it was virtually impossible for him to accomplish what he had accomplished so far

His Blessed Land should be at a pitiful size by now and it’s not something that could be recovered in a short period of time

Surely, Claude wouldn’t be able to kill more 7th rank mages in the meantime, right?

“Hmph, ignorant aboriginals!” the Empress replied in disdain. Her words were upsetting but her voice was really out of this world

Fortunately, the mental fortitude of the 7th rank mages was still strong and they were not a hundred percent mesmerized by her voice

“Are you looking for a fight?!” White Hair Hermit asked harshly. The hair on his head and beard growing longer than usual as if they would swallow a person any time from now

“You’re not worthy” she rebuked before turning her head to the other three mages

“I am here only for one thing and that is to make you all aware of who or more precisely, what Claude Preston is” she continued causing the others to be a bit curious

What Claude Preston is? What does that even mean?

“We don’t need you nor do we want to hear you. Scram!” Howling Lightning tried to shoo her away

Unfortunately, the others were already curious

“Hearing what she has to say wouldn’t be bad”

“I agree”

Without caring whether they want to hear her words or not, the Serpentine Empress continues to speak

“I’m only going to explain things one time. I hope that you, lowly aboriginals would listen and understand the things that I am about to explain”

She continues to disregard others as people inferior to her which brought a bad taste in their mouths

If not for the risk of sinking the continents and their birth countries, these mages would have attacked her already

“Claude Preston is the only entity in this realm that has the potential to kill all and every 7th rank mages!”

By that, the Serpentine Empress meant even herself. She too was forced to ascend and become a 7th rank mage

She might be stronger than most but in essence, she is still a 7th rank mage. And because of that, she was forcefully bound to the earth realm with almost no hope of being able to escape such a broken realm

If there was anyone that knew the horror of Claude’s existence for the 7th rank mages of the earth realm, it would definitely be her

Such a threat is not allowed to continue to exist and must be exterminated as soon as possible

For that, the Serpentine Empress even personally showed up in this meeting place to urge all the other 7th rank mages to do their best to kill Claude

“Nonsense!”

“That’s an exaggeration”

“No one with that kind of power could possibly appear”

“Impossible, that’s just impossible”

The four representatives didn’t believe the Serpentine Empress which was only natural. The current common sense and logic have already been established for a long period of time

It was already engraved into their bones. They wouldn’t believe that a person that could kill all of them could possibly appear unless they saw it happening personally

“That’s why I hate these ignorant aboriginals!” The Serpentine Empress said through gritted teeth. She was vexed by the reaction she had received

“Claude Preston is no ordinary human. He is the realm’s chosen! An entity created by the realm out of necessity! A necessity to exterminate all the people stealing the realm’s origin energy!” She continued to explain and as expected, the four didn’t believe her

In the first place, they don’t know what a realm’s chosen is. They are different from the Serpentine Empress that was not a native of this realm

There are many things in the universe that the natives of the earth realm are unaware of and an example was the realm’s chosen

A special entity that is no different than the heaven’s chosen. An entity that the realm would provide great support fo
