Chapter 56: New World XIX

Chapter 56: New World XIX

In the Great Forest of Tob, a Dark Elf- with golden hair and heterochromatic eyes- was riding a wolf with black fur. She was one of the guardians of the 6th-floor of Nazarick, Aura Bella Fiora.

Fenris was also travelling beside her in her wolf form.

Helios had given them the task of scouring the Great Forest of Tob. They needed to find magical beasts and monsters and herd them toward civilization.

His reason behind it was to create turmoil in the human nations and serve as a precursor to the arrival of the Dark Lord.

At the moment, only the top brass of the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire were privy to the information. Re-Estize because Gazef told them about it and Empire because some of the nobles of the Kingdom sold this information to the Empire. But this information was kept a secret so as not to cause panic in the general populace.

But Helios wanted to change that; he wanted everyone to fear the Dark Lord, as they feared some legendary figures from the pastnamely, the Evil Deities.

In the history of the NW, numerous legendary figures have profoundly influenced its trajectory. Some of these figures were The Six Great Gods, The Eight Greed Kings, and The Evil Deities. However, despite their significant impact on shaping the new world into its present form, it is worth noting that the nature and extent of their influence differed among them.

The Six Great Gods were the first Players to be summoned to the NW and the first people to introduce Tier Magic to the NW. They were teleported about 600 years ago.

Then there are the Eight Greed Kings, who arrived 500 years ago in the NW. They were one of the main reasons for the weak state of the NW. They killed most of the Dragon Lords and powerful monsters. In the end, they died due to infighting. One of the members of the Six Great Gods, Surshana, also fought them but was killed by them.

Lastly, we have the Evil Deities. Limited information is available regarding these beings, except for their formidable strength and desire to destroy the world. Despite their proximity to accomplishing this catastrophic goal, the Evil Deities ultimately faced defeat at the hands of the Thirteen Heroes. Helios wanted to introduce a character like that, but far more malevolent and powerful.

Back to Aura and Fenris, hurling monsters toward civilization. Aura's ears twitched due to the sound of battle. She immediately stopped; seeing this, Fenris also stopped.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

"Why'd you stop, A-Chan? I was just getting excited." Fenris asked in a childish tone.

"There's a battle going on in the distance," She pointed toward a particular direction while speaking.

"Should we go and check?" Fenris asked while tilting her head cutely.

"Have you already forgotten what lord Helios told us? We are not to interact with any human. And according to the sounds I am receiving, they are humans." Aura spoke while crossing her arms over her modest chest.

"You are no fun, A-Chan," Fenris spoke while sulking.

"Ah, don't be sad, Fen-Chan. Let's go and quickly finish our task. Then we could go and have fun in the tomb."

Aura spoke, trying to cheer Fenris, which seemed to work.

"Hump, I desire treats," Fenris spoke while raising her head.

"Got it; I'll ask Yuri to bring you some. Now, let's go." Aura spoke, and Fenris nodded.

They again began hurling monsters outside the forest.

~Scene Change~

"Stop! We don't have time to waste. The monster horde has already reached near the entrance of the forest. At most, we have a day or two before they start emerging from the forest and destroying villages!"

The leader of the team shouted, which stopped all the adventurers. She then continued.

"We are tired from our journey, Faela especially. We'll take a little break for a few hours before returning and helping you with the horde. But first, tell me, have you made any plans for it."

She asked while looking toward the guild leader.

"Ah, yes. About that,"

~Scene Change~

In one of the rooms of a cheap inn, a typical man with a forgettable appearance was lying down on a bed.

'I should contact sir Azrik.'

Thinking this, he got up from the bed and moved toward the bag on a table beside the window. A torch barely lighted the room. He opened the bag and took out a scroll.

He moved toward the door and checked whether it was locked or not. After ensuring it was, he moved toward one of the walls and threw the scroll in the air.

The scroll opened on its own and burned away. It was a magic scroll. As it burned away, the man placed two fingers on the side of his head.

'Greetings, Sir Azrik.'

The man thought and bowed toward the empty wall.

'Let your name be known.' A voice resounded in his head.

'I am Soren, the leader of the intelligence party, and I am reporting from the port town of E-Naeurl.'

'Begin your report.' The voice resounded again in his head.

'Yes, sir. The guild master has been informed of the monster horde and is preparing.'

He then began telling Azrik about everything that happened in the guild. He was an adventurer who had been working in the guild for some years. He also had a secret identity of being an intelligence agent of Zurrernorn.

'Hmm, continue observing. I'll tell you further instructions after discussing the information with Lord Malachar.'

'Understood, sir Azrik.'

Saying this, he ended the conversation and stopped bowing. The scroll he used was a *Message* scroll provided by Malachar.
