Chapter 335: The Overseers

....

"Argh!" Clawdia grimaced a little before she put a hand to the blood-stained cheongsam she had wrapped around her curvaceous body.

She resisted the extreme pain eating away at her insides as she refocused her attention on the black-haired man who had talked to her sister.

"???"

However, she noticed that he had once again disappeared.

Her eyes darted around the area, attempting to figure out where he had gone, and she ultimately saw his figure standing below the large, city-sized foot of Zargoroth.

WAAAA!!

And that was when she felt the aura released by Zargoroth increase a hundredfold as he focused all of his aura on that man.

No matter how much she believed that he was hiding his strength, there was no way that someone so young-looking could face off against Zargoroth.

So, in an attempt to tell him to run away with her little sister, she shouted, "P-Please, take my sister and run"

However, her throat was too dry and bloodied, so the only thing that came out was a hoarse whisper.

But she wasn't willing to give up so easily as she tried to shout out, "P-Please T-Take her and run"

Nonetheless, her voice came out in the same inaudible way.

*Drip Drip*

She bit her lips until blood started drizzling down her lips.

She hated herself for being so weak so weak that she couldn't even tell the man to run away with her little Calista

'... Calista' She clenched her chest, tears streaming down her face.

Their goal: Unknown

Their purpose: Unknown

Their exact appearance date: Unknown

Other than their heritage and what they did most often, not much was known about the Overseers.

Nonetheless, what they did most often was create and recruit powerful creatures into the organization they called the 'Nightmare Council'.

For what reason they did such a thing was unknown, but the fact that they did it was undeniable.

But it was because of that 'unique habit' that they set their eyes on a certain catkin girl no older than twelve.

The Overseers caught wind of the daughter of one of their strongest 'behind the scenes' Monster Emperor's, and that was when they decided to go take a look at her out of curiosity.

It was a 'look' that led to them discovering the immense latent potential of Calista. In fact, she had so much potential that she would even be able to surpass the Mahayana Realm in the future!

But great talent was oftentimes not a good thing unless your background was indefatigable.

And Calista was one of those 'not great' cases...

The Overseers confronted Clawdia and Percival, asking them to give over the girl for the greater good of them all.

However, both Clawdia and her father fervently refused with every fiber of their being!

Following such a refusal, one thing led to another, as things escalated, and a battle eventually broke outa battle that left the Mahayana Realm Percival in dire straits and Clawdia in an even worse situation.

Furthermore, somewhere in there 'scuffle' with the Overseers, Clawdia had to retreat to the Second Floor of the Luminous Grounds, with the goal of hiding Calista away until the battle was concluded.

But the battle never did end in their favor, as Clawdia and her father, who were both in the Mahayana Realm, ended up badly losing their fight with the Overseers.

Following such a defeat, the Overseers controlled the mind of Percival and had him rampage throughout the Luminous Grounds!
