Chapter 121: Scheme of Holy Warriors, Aazaroth Making Move
"He is an anomaly that we won't be able to control and might trouble us," Amelia looked at Aleron's image, her eyes glinting with a sheen as she activated the mirage crystals to run the video of Aleron fighting the demon.
By now, the Mirage crystals had spread to all top forces all over the continent, including the goddess church. As such, Amelia was notified of this shortly after she arrived here from the battlefield zone.
Everyone at the table saw the video of Aleron blasting the demon out of existence in one attack, causing their pupils to shrink.
"Alright, what anomaly is there? If he jumps up too much, we can just kill him," Fecu Lence rolled his eyes.
"True," Muckfil Thisi nodded with a chuckle.
"How strong was that demon?" Rofus asked an important question.
"As strong as us or more, I can't tell exactly but high chance he was at the peak of Primeval rank. Worse case, we have to use some trump cards to kill him."
"As for why we have to remove him...well, watch further," Amelia gestured with her hand towards the screen as everyone turned their heads from her to the screen again.
As they continued to watch and saw what Aleron did, Fecu burst into laughter, "This bastard... god damn, hahaha!"
"So he kills people he deems bad and apparently, has a way to check that?" Muckfil made a disgusted expression, "That's a new level ew."Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
"Our image is good and grand to the masses, but he can ruin that," Kaza caressed his beard. "I suppose we have to remove him lest he exposes the skeletons in our closet."
"We can't just remove him," Amelia narrowed her eyes. "We have to thoroughly remove him. Nailzim City now practically worships and it's also progressing fast. The other news is that he has an army of strange creatures called Xorg Guardians."
"I've sent a few of my people to investigate those, so we'll get a report soon."
"It seems that you've already made a plan," Fecu grinned. "What is it?"
"We need to stain his image and make him the evil," Amelia's eyes glinted. "He is not someone we can kill and then make up the shit like we did in the past. We have to stain him first and then kill him for public support."
"Let's go," Draven stood up as he shot out of his courtyard and flew towards the northeast direction, a pair of crimson wings with black patterns unfurling behind him as he sped up.
...
The suspended flying ship of Aleron had started moving again as Roxen and Yueha helmed it, returning to the Lightdusk continent as it was dangerous to stay here longer.
According to the flying ship's speed which was maximum at the moment, they would enter the Lightdusk continent after 7 hours.
Aleron had successfully recovered in both body and soul, and it was only a matter of time before he regained his consciousness.
'Master, I want to continue your work, but we are not as powerful yet and short-handed against our adversary. Please forgive us, ' Yueha clenched her fist as she felt frustration. She knew that demons would be sacrificed, but without Aleron, they couldn't prevent it.
'It is also important that we stop him or he will come for Master when he is summoned,' Yueha's eyes helpless, 'But can we prevent him from coming here even if we try?'
While Yueha and Roxen were helming the ship back to the Lightdusk continent, Darzax, Mei, Enorin, and others were in the Crystalspire of Auroraville, fighting against the Crystal Monsters and collecting the elemental crystals.
The Crystal Monsters were not weak and even the weakest of them was high-stage Exceed- rank with no lack of Primeval-rank monsters.
Initially, the group encountered high-stage Exceed-rank and early-stage Primeval-rank which were not much trouble to them, but as they went deeper into this crystal forest, and saw a humongous crystal forest with stranger trees and formation of them filled with powerful auras, they soon discovered the presence of more powerful Primeval-rank monsters
in high number.
Upon reaching that point, the group decided to retreat and make use of the resources they had collected so far to improve themselves before proceeding again.
They left the Crystalspire and arrived at a random open spot with a flowing waterfall nearby they sat in a circular formation before piling up the elemental crystal at the center.
"We have to get powerful because danger is looming over our Master," Darzax said with a resolved expression, his hand gripping a Death Elemental crystal.
"Let's exhaust these crystals as fast as possible and improve."
Everyone didn't waste a single second as they grabbed the elemental crystal of their choice and began meditating.
