When Chang-Sun met Procyon, he found out that the body Procyon was using resembled Jin Prezia from their first encounter in the Changgwi Cave Although the thought had occurred to him, Chang-Sun had not expected Jin to mention it first.

This is your nephew? Chang-Sun wondered.

Jin was originally from Arcadia, and the Prezia Family was one of the most prestigious and prosperous noble families on the capital planet, being called a Great Family; thus, even Chang-Sun knew how influential the Prezia Family was in Arcadia.

Thats right.

When Jin answered, Chang-Sun asked, How can you tell?

How can I not? His blazing red hair resembles the sun, and his eyes sparkle like obsidian. Of course hes a Prezia.

After listening to Jins explanation, Chang-Sun reluctantly replied, I dont think thats the right description.Dive into Stories, Embrace Enchantment: N♡vεlB¡n.

Although Jin was very proud of his own family, it was very surprising how nonchalantly he described his family using the sun and obsidian as metaphors. On top of that, Jin did not even look like a typical Prezia after becoming an Undead. Of course, Jin would grab Chang-Sun by the collar and fight him if he said that out loud, so Chang-Sun remained quiet.

Dont nitpick the weird parts, master.

Jin grumbled, well aware of the truth.

Anyway, can you see the tattoo on his nape?

Chang-Sun saw the symbol of a shield behind Procyons nape. It was difficult to see the full shape because of his collar, but the symbol was quite unique regardless.

Its a symbol that only the main familys immediate members can have. An additional line is added to the symbol in every generation, so he must be from two generations after my time.

Jins voice was now quiet.

Among the main familys immediate members Helsion was my only nephew, so that man must be his blood kin.

To sum things up, Procyons current body technically belonged to Jins grandnephew. Chang-Sun had wandered in Arcadia for a long time and gone back to Earth after going through all sorts of tribulations and hardships, so he could fathom what kind of emotions Jin was going through as he himself had also been lost in indescribably mixed emotions right after his return to Earth. Similarly to Chang-Sun, Jin had to leave his family for a long time due to the Changgwi Caves curse, so coincidentally running into his family member must have perturbed him.

Helsion was three years old the last time I saw him, and the boy made a family now Haha Hahahaha, I wanted to meet my parents, but I guess it wont be easy.

As Jin laughed bitterly, a new question crossed Chang-Suns mind. But why is an immediate member of the main family working as Procyons apostle?

Even if priests were comparable to nobles, a member of the main family could lead the entire Prezia Family in the future, so they had no reason to be ordained, since they would have to sever their ties to the material world in that case. Even if nobles had their own reasons, a Prezia would only become an apostle to the Zodiacs or the Celestials whose Divine Classes were on par with theirs, not the lowly Canis Minor. The Prezia Family was far out of Procyons league.

Thats my question too. Did something happen to my family?

Chang-Sun nodded in agreement. Just then, Procyon asked, Can you take off that mask?

I dont want to, Chang-Sun replied.

From what I heard, you used to be Alioths priest, so is it actually necessary to hide your identity? Procyon asked.

If you know my identity already, then you dont need to see it, yes? Chang-Sun scoffed.

Procyons cold eyes gleamed, and he stopped smiling. He said, Hey, human. Theres a limit to how much I can tolerate your rudeness. You should have decency and manners as a mortal above all.

Whooosh!

[The Celestial Canis Minor reveals his fangs!]

An intense pressure containing Procyons murderous energy fell upon Chang-Sun. In contrast to most humans who encountered gods, Chang-Sun continued to be rude, so Procyon wanted to break his spirit. Of course, Chang-Sun found Procyons attempt ridiculous.

Its funny, Chang-Sun murmured.

What? Procyon exclaimed.

Youre the one who should be faithful to your role as an envoy. What are you going to do if you get kicked out for acting cheeky before you can hand me the package? Chang-Sun remarked.

You ras! Procyon was enraged, but soon froze, thinking of how he would incur Chirons wrath if he was kicked out.

The Revolutionary Army leaders barrier excluded this building from the range of the Channel. What do you think would happen if the leader deactivated it? Chang-Sun continued.

!

I think Aquarius would be very interested to know that a Star Sign from the faction of Sagittarius is here, Chang-Sun said with a grin.

Procyon bit his lower lip. His visit had to remain a secret, as the moment Sadalmelik realized that Chiron was on the move to strike her, she would be furious for certain. If that happened, Chiron would negate any connections to Procyon, abandoning him. A shiver went down Procyons spine.

How can a human be this well aware of what is going on within <Horoscope>? Procyon thought.

Procyon had to admit that he could not think of the man in front of him as an ordinary human, but when he was about to reply

Ah, this seriously pisses me off, a voice suddenly said in annoyance from behind Chang-Sun.

When Procyon looked toward the voice, he saw a High Elf glaring at him, exclaiming, Do you take me for an idiot? Treating me as nobody and throwing a fit in front of me is already annoying, so how dare you treat me as a pushover?

[The Celestial Unknown Ancient Celestial has revealed her Divine Class!]

Paah!

Pzzz, pzzz!

Releasing sparks, Arin revealed her canines and hissed, Hey, do you want to die, you minor son of a bitch?

[The Celestial Canis Minor has accepted the Mana Pledge!]

[The Mana Pledge has been signed by both parties.]

[A record of the Mana Pledge will be stored at the <Management Bureau>.]

[If the Mana Pledge is breached, the offending party will receive a corresponding penalty.]

[00:00:14:29]

[00:00:14:28]

Ill make them retreat to celebrate our new alliance, Procyon offered pompously as if he were bestowing his grace. He smiled happily, thinking that he had finally completed Chirons mission.

However, Chang-Sun chuckled and shook his head, saying, No, well deal with them. You people focus on sorting out the aftermath.

Procyon frowned and said, Hey, human. I wont deny that you won on this one, but dont take them lightly even if you have Ardrin Tigernmas by your side.

I take them lightly because theyre lightweights, Chang-Sun replied.

What? Procyon replied with a frown. However, just then

Arin. You can broaden the range of Channel disruption, yes? Chang-Sun asked Arin suddenly.

How wide are we talking about? Arin asked.

All of Clio City, Chang-Sun replied.

Are you not even going to be subtle in enslaving me? Urgh, I wont be able to lay low any longer, Arin grumbled.

Nevertheless, she did not turn down Chang-Suns request. At that moment, she slammed the table, sending out concentric waves that spread throughout the entirety of Clio City.

Thump!

[The Celestial Unknown Ancient Celestial has temporarily declared Clio City as her divine ground!]

[Disconnecting all external Channelings.]

[The other Star Signs who have been observing Clio City have been forcibly logged out.]

[Unable to intervene from outside.]

[Unable to observe the divine ground from outside.]

[The number of Star Signs in the temporary Divine Ground: 27.]

A dome-shaped, translucent barrier encircled Clio City.

[Many Star Signs have sent complaints to the <Management Bureau>!]

[The <Management Bureau> declares that the bureau is unable to intervene in the matter.]

[The Celestial Lacerta is quite puzzled about losing connection to <Horoscope>!]

[The Celestial Hydrus tells the Star Signs around him that something is wrong and they should quickly bring <Extinction> to Clio City.]

[The Celestial Ursa Major is feeling a premonition!]

Blocking external communication? Procyon thought as he turned to look at Chang-Sun and Arin, getting a feeling that things had taken an odd turn.

[00:00:08:56]

[00:00:08:55]

Ha!

Less than ten seconds were left until <Extinction>, so Procyon was confused by Chang-Suns laughter and yet he found Chang-Suns eyes somewhat familiar.

At that moment, Procyon belatedly remembered the identity of the one whom the name Lee Chang-Sun, which he had seen while forming the Mana Pledge, belonged to.

Wait a minute!

The moment Procyon came to that realization

Woosh!

A navy blue flame blazed in Chang-Suns eye as he revealed his hidden Divine Class.

[The Celestial Divine Twilight has revealed his Divine Class!]

[The Authority Execution Sword has been activated.]

Ratttle!

Scarlet sunset arrived from the sky, and the creepy sound of metal chains filled the air.

N-No! Procyon finally realized that his faction had taken the hand of someone they should never have partnered up with.
