Chapter 54: Unexpected Development (1)
The meeting finished as Aleron made a plan on what to do.
He exited with the three new subordinates, startling Rias and Roxen.
Of course, Aleron had told them to hide their aura because having two Exceed-rank powerhouses and two Primeval-rank powerhouses with him was basically carrying a powerful force enough to threaten any big entity on this Lightdusk continent.
"Report me of the finds via Soul Link, Mei."
Aleron nodded at Mei before she vanished.
Mei vanished silently.
However, Rias had a special skill to measure someone and even she was unable to measure that girl who had just disappeared.
She managed to measure that the two men were Exceed-rank, but not Mei.
"Are they your subordinates as well?" Roxen gulped.
"We are our lord's apostles," Fang Tinguag waved his hand fan as he poetically spoke while smiling. "His supporters, his devotees, and the preachers of his teachings."
"Master must teach a lesson to some wicked force in this city," Hua said with a grin. "And we shall deliver that lesson."
"What are you planning?" Rias asked, her expression concerned.
"I am planning something, but I hope it won't come to that," Aleron said before he nodded to Hua and Fang, "Go."
Both of them disappeared.
"Rias Longinus, quite busy with new people, eh?"
A trail of voices entered their pavilion from the left as Rias, Roxen, Aleron, and Yueha turned their heads at a group of four.
Luthen Aurspec walked towards their pavilion with the pink-haired twin-tail girl, a blue- haired young man in his early twenties whose eyes had undisguised pride, and a big built six- foot tall black-haired man with military-cut.
All of them were Legendary-rank except for the Luthen, who was an Exceed-rank, but early.
When Rias looked at him with her skill, she was visibly surprised to see his foundational stats at 20k.
'He already broke through to Exceed-rank? How did he acquire the Legendary-rank resources this fast?'
Luthen was a senior since he was 21 years old while Rias was 19 years old.
Last she saw him in the academy six months ago, he had just entered Legendary rank like her. But now, he was already Exceed-rank, though it appeared he only broke through recently. "I am surprised, you already broke through to Exceed-rank," Rias said with a smile and also scanned Vizen, the blue-haired man. 'He also reached the peak of Legendary-rank...this...'
"I have more surprises, but I'll save them for later," Luthen chuckled as his gaze went towards Aleron and Yueha.
"B-Bitch! Arghh!" Vizen cursed as he finally started using a healing skill after the initial shock
of pain.
Luthen frowned and waved his hand as he also aided in healing the eyes.
'Master, that piece of trash was trying to see my naked body that solely belongs to you, humph. What is your judgment of him? I'm sure he is nothing good. Let's kill him.'
Yueha frostily looked at Vizen with murderous sparks in her eyes.
"What is the meaning of this?" Luthen frowned as he looked at Yueha.
"This..." Roxen and Rias were taken aback and didn't know what to say as they didn't know
what happened and why that happened.
Meanwhile, Aleron's heart started beating faster, his hands shook as if eager to do something and his eyes trembled with veins in them popping, turning his eyes gradually bloodshot. 'What should I do? Talk or Trap? He is the heir of the clan that basically rules this city, still...' But he only struggled to think for one second before making his decision.
'Yue...Domain.'
In the next instant, on this big branch of this tree belonging to Golden Nectar House, a beautiful giant icey sphere appeared, with powdery shining icy blue sparks slowly whirling
around it.
This sudden phenomenon not only alerted the security on surrounding floors but also one of the ten Watch Towers placed at various places around the city.
This tower was just 4 kilometers away from the Golden Nectar House and it covered 10 kilometers of area to detect any powerful energy concentration wavelength based on what atmospheric part of the city was affected.
A Primeval-rank powerhouse like Yueha used her Spirit Domain, and even though it was in a small area, it was still a real deal with its intense energy concentration.
The big shots of the city, including the Aurspec clan head, were instantly alerted by this phenomenon with the Watch Tower detecting this anomaly.
While the public was swiftly evacuating from the tree, Police Officers of Legendary rank and
above were arriving to see the situation.
Meanwhile, the scene inside the domain was no less hectic for the natives.
Inside the domain, the scenery was seemingly vast with an unending frozen sea littered with
sakura trees.
Everyone was in the same position, but Luthen and Vizen were frozen from neck to toe with
only their head having freedom.
Dolly and Thorkil were fine, and they were free with nothing binding them. Scared at first, they soon became confused with this situation.
