Chapter 196: Ira Versus The World Pt.3

Ira arrived at the Diavol Empire in the blink of an eye. Without knowing more about the stone sphere he could only leave for the time being. If someone were to say Ira fled he probably would kill them.

A temporary withdrawal, Ira said to himself allowed while nodding. Thats right.

He put away his unimportant thoughts and surveyed his surroundings.

Freshly charred houses spat out smoke while other buildings were still aflame, the crackling of wood told of the time they had left.

There were dozens of bodies of dead Diavol soldiers every few feet and screams could be heard far off in the distance. Ira narrowed his eyes and he could see figures dressed in red armor jumping into the air at heights that couldnt be considered normal.

The Dark Elves, Ira mumbled.

The only ones that could currently perform such a feat were the soldiers of the Dark Elf Empire who had gone through the Bone Engravement Ceremony.

Seeing as it would be too troublesome to wait, Ira teleported toward them to save time.

Ira appeared out of thin air and spotted the group led by Saren. They were in the middle of a fight but they didnt need any help, in fact, it was hard to call it a fight as it was basically a slaughter.

Some Diavol soldiers stood their ground and fought but were cut down within seconds and others tried to run but were pursued. Even though the Dark Elf side was originally outnumbered they quickly reduced their enemies numbers. From an outsider's perspective, the small group that Saren led fought like pack animals but they somehow maintained a sense of discipline that contrasted their ferociousness.

Because he thought it was interesting, Ira simply watched them continue on from afar and none of them seemed to feel his presence.

Without knowing that the Keeper was extremely close by, Saren removed his helmet and took a breath.

That should be enough! He shouted. At his words, the soldiers finished their opponents off and returned to his side.

There was no way they eliminated every soldier in the city but they werent focused on them in the first place. Their true goal was to take out some of the Diavol council members which lived in the city. And the huge manors that were currently burning showed that Saren and his group succeeded.

Saren summarized what Avery said before inside of his head, Our goal is to disrupt them and buy time while preparing to get rid of them in one fell swoop.

Ira was only one person and with as many abilities as he had, he couldnt be everywhere. If he left even a half of the thousands of Angels that descended around, hed be putting himself and his family in immense danger. That danger would triple if Ira showed off every one of his abilities as the Angels could create a plan to work around them.

As the Dark Elves were about to begin their retreat, Saren suddenly looked off into the distance and stopped. He then bowed without hesitation which caused those around him to grow confused. They looked in the same direction Saren was bowing to and they all did the same.

So you finally noticed? Ira asked with a smile of approval. He approached Saren and the others who saluted him fervently.

Its done, Keeper, Saren said.

I see. Ira looked around once more before continuing. Are you ready to return?Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Yes, Keeper. No one realized what happened yet so its best to leave before any Angels arrive, Saren answered.

Ah, that would be wonderful. The Will grabbed Harpers hands and spoke with a gentle voice.

Then lets wait together. Harper smiled. In her mind, the Will was something similar to a distant relative, so the lack of boundaries shown was not something that bothered her. Though, the smell of the undead was a different story.

Could you get rid of them? They stink. Harper pointed to the small army of corpses.

Ah, yes. The Will glanced at the undead and they all collapsed on the spot. Of course, the stench remained in the air.

Harper frowned but the Will blinked her eyes as if she was unaware of what the problem was.

Inside the Underground City, Raveria narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

Dont do it, Valeryn. Raveria suddenly spoke.

Do what? Valeryn replied softly. At the current moment, he was examining his sword but his eyes shined with some unknown intention.

Ryn didnt do anything, Ravi. Zephyr came to his brothers defense.

Rhys, who was watching over all of them, showed a puzzled expression. She was also unaware of what Raveria was suggesting Valeryn was about to do.

I can see it, you know. Raveria ignored them and focused on Valeryn. In two hours youre going to try and leave but its not going to happen while Im here.

Valeryns eyes widened very slightly before returning to their normal calm but Raveria noticed his reaction which confirmed her doubts even more.

I just want to know if I can move like father does, Valeryn confessed.

Raveria understood that he was referring to Iras spatial related abilities but shook her head.

Dad said stay so you stay. Raveria crossed her arms imposingly.

Still, no warnings could quite stop Valeryns mind. He was the most interested in using his abilities compared to his siblings. He had a sense of curiosity and a desire to grow that was similar very to Ira. Therefore, one couldnt be surprised that Valeryn was contemplating ways to cut space.

I will, Valeryn uttered a half-hearted reply.

Were you really going to sneak out, Ryn? Zephyr asked.

No, Valeryn answered with a straight face before he whispered to his brother with a small grin. ...Yes.

I heard you! Raveria shouted.

Rhys looked on at the trio who formed their own strange dynamic. She did have some fear that Iras other children would treat Zephyr differently but they didnt. The ties of their bloodline were incredibly strong so there was no way that they would harbor negative feelings toward each other.
