Chapter 557

Chapter 557

The elders found themselves incarcerated at the headquarters without any resistance. In a contrasting turn of events, some of the previously imprisoned individuals were now freed, presenting a humorous reality. Those elders, whom Davey had imprisoned, did not significantly impede Daveys actions, assuming they had chosen not to intervene. It seemed they had their own plans.

"Allow me to introduce Elder Sharus, Elder Slim, and Elder Pat."

Among them was a bearded old man, a skinny elder, and a rotund figure. A total of three elders stood before Davey, and there was a specific reason for their presence.

"As per the report, the Knight Order needs to be active in two directions."

"During my journey, I learned about the situation from Klomen. Whatever issues have arisen, we must prioritize dealing with external problems. Please share the details."

In contrast to other elders struggling to maintain their authority, these elders were not the current leaders but had been imprisoned previously. This indicated that they had clashed with other elders who resisted change and remained complacent. Now released, they could offer assistance to Davey.

"Elder Sharus assisted you, Davey, in the past."

"In the past?"

"During the vampire war. He supported the Alpha Reinforcements in conducting independent guerrilla warfare."

In response, Davey respectfully bowed his head to Elder Sharus. "I appreciate your past assistance."Follow the latest novels at novelhall.come. By the way, I heard you possess the divine bow, Brunak... is that true?"

In response to his inquiry, Davey retrieved the Divine Bow, Brunak, from the pocket plane and presented it to them once again.

"Ho... This is..."

"Is this Brunak, the weapon used by the Divine Bow and the symbol of the Knight Order?"

"I've never seen the real one, but if the will of our ancestors from the Spear of Judgment acknowledges it, it must be correct."

"Although it's an old story, thank you for upholding the tradition." Davey bowed his head several times.

"Originally, each knight would compile information and make decisions through meetings, but I understand the situation is not as leisurely now."

"Yes. The Knight Order needs to focus on two tasks. Deploy some main forces disguised as mercenaries, and accompany me to the capital of the Contas Empire."

The strength of the Knight Order was significant. While there were other powerful individuals in the Contas Empire, the Knight Order excelled in secrecy compared to other groups.

"The Illuminati are forces from another dimension. If those individuals start causing chaos, you should suppress them."

"And what about the rest?"

"Do you know where the knight branch was destroyed?"

In response to Davey's question, Elder Sharus nodded. Following him, Elders Pat and Slim also nodded.

"Even though I was in prison, I learned about the news through Klomen..."

"They detonated the place in search of a valuable ore called the Red Dragon's Eye, but there was something else hidden there as well."

"That means..."

"Gather the remaining skilled individuals from the knights and send them there. And..."

Davey unfolded the map and sketched out a plan. Even the power of the Deathlord could not easily enable movement between dimensions. Thus, there was only one process that Davey could contemplate. The Illuminati desired the Red Dragons Eye.

Maybe there is something associated with the Red Dragons Eye, Davey thought.

"Is this a magic circle?"

"Yes, I have a helper there. His name is Io, and though he has a quirky character, he knows the geography of the place very well. Please destroy it after locating it with his assistance."

"I'll take care of it."

"Be cautious. The underground drills in Tartaros are still teeming with dangerous monsters."

In response to Davey's plea, Elder Sharus squinted his eyes. "Is this okay?"

"Yes. The imperial and royal factions on the continent are also in motion. Even though they are unaware of you, it doesn't mean they have different goals."

I need to act decisively when the time comes, Davey thought. A simultaneous removal of the elders' lives will bring chaos.

"Let's address the aftermath once we deal with this problem."

"Many elders have been imprisoned. Chaos will ensue. Additionally, the existence of the elders is...."

"We don't necessarily need the elders. The knights are the ones actually in the field. However, leadership is crucial. So, how about we vote for that?

In response to Davey's lighthearted suggestion, Elder Sharus displayed a complicated expression. "Let's consider that later. But let me ask you something."

"What is it?"

"I heard you had the authority to punish the elders as a successor of the founding knight."

"Well, it was a promise and a rule. It's amusing to talk about that now."

"So, are you planning to execute all the Guardians, too?"

The man quietly closed his eyes.

"Is that all you have to ask?"

"Any more small talk is meaningless beyond orders."

To the astonishingly cool acceptance by Basara, Davey flicked his fingers lightly. Simultaneously, the magic circle laid out on the floor was activated.

Spang!!!

With that sound, Davey, the Seven Guardians, and the bodies of Rinne and Illyna vanished in light as if wrapped up by it.

* * *

Having teleported into a vast forest, Davey surveyed the Guardians who were examining their surroundings. Despite their youthful appearance, each of them was a formidable warrior, equivalent to strategic weapons.

"To use transfer magic this easily..."

One of the female Guardians, a former magician, muttered in amazement, but no one paid any attention to her words.

"Are we...in a forest?"

"Hey. What are we supposed to do here?"

"Just wait a bit." While saying that, Davey formed his thumb and index finger into a circle and blew a strong whistle.

Peeeeeep!!!

The piercing sound reverberated several times. A few Guardians looked puzzled at Davey's action, as though they were about to say something, but Basara, who had been silently waiting, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Hmph!" As if he felt something, Basaras expression changed to alarm. He yelled, "Everyone, get ready for battle! The enemy is here!"

At his shout, the Guardians, who had been casually chatting, became alert. Their movements were impressively efficient, a stark contrast to their earlier casual demeanor, as the Dragon King with an aura of dark energy appeared before them.

The Dragon King showed his ferocious hostility toward Davey.

"This is crazy! No way!"

"To fight against that thing?!"

"All over me is tingling..."

Although they knew that there was a formidable enemy, they never imagined they would face such a strong creature, and their faces showed shock. But despite the fear causing them to tremble, they did not retreat and prepared to fight.

[Dammit. You shouldnt bother even a goblin if it is dining!]

The Dragon King with an overwhelming presence shouted, seemingly ready to attack any moment.

"Move! It's attacking!"

The Guardians began to scatter as they saw Megalodria roar in fury.

"Hey!! What are you doing?"

Only Davey, Rinne, and Illyna did not move, prompting a man with an easy-going demeanor, who had rushed over and tried to carry Rinne and Illyna away as if he were bundling them up. He was the man who had been the first to challenge Davey and, without being able to resist, had passed out with his forehead smacking onto the ground.

"Are you stiff?! What's the use of coming here when you're all so weak!"

"Kyah?! What are you doing! Let go of me!" Confused, Illyna kicked him in the chest while struggling.

"Couughh!!"

The man was surprised by the unexpectedly strong blow and wheezed while rolling on the ground.

He seemed not to know, but in reality, Illyna's capabilities were at a level that did not fall short compared to his. However, since Davey was alone responsible for this situation, it was true there was a lack of information about her.

A Guardian prepared to cast magic, the red-haired man who had used a flaming sword was calling it forth to intercept, and the woman with chains tightened her grip on her scythe looking tense. Basara and the other remaining Guardian were ready with swords, prepared to dive into the action.

"Are you crazy? What are you doing? We need to get out of here fast! There's no way we can protect the two of you and fight at the same time...!" The man was shouting desperately when he suddenly stopped.

Megalodria, previously growling with hostility toward Davey, abruptly turned its attention to something Davey had thrown in the air.

"Radiation-laced meat."

[Khmm! I'll forgive you this time! Ill even give you a ride on my back!]

As if the earlier hostility had transformed into a falsehood, the atmosphere instantly shifted to relaxation. The Storm Dragon King, having devoured the chunk of meat in a single bite and smacked his lips contentedly, lowered his head with a satisfied expression. He then surveyed the seven Guardians, including the man writhing on the ground, and inquired.

[Contractor. What are these ridiculous beings?]

The Guardians remained dumbfounded for quite a while.

"I don't know, They just came out to the world after a long time; maybe theyre still adapting."

"You're showing such an intimidating aura, and you expect no one to be on guard?!"

To Davey's remark, finally, one of the Guardians could not stay silent anymore and shouted out of frustration.
