Chapter 1098: The Summoned Warriors



Orion nodded. He placed his mask on his face and sent a message to summon over two hundred four-star warriors and Iris. He turned towards Seth and Zogar and said, "Go and get ready; we'll be heading towards the Sleeping Fox Runaway City soon."

Seth and Zogar nodded, soaring into the sky and returning to their residence to prepare for their attack on the Sleeping Fox Runaway City.

Orion removed his mask and turned to Ilse. "I want to check on Aurora before we leave," he said.

Ilse nodded and took to the sky, heading to the Golden Palace through the front door, with Orion following closely behind.

"Only a day has passed inside, but she seems to be improving. We'll likely need to wait several more weeks or months for her full recovery," Ilse said as they entered the room. She doubted Aurora would wake up in just a few days after the phenomenon triggered by her delivery.

Orion nodded at Ilse's words.

Aerialia turned, noticing their entrance.

Orion smiled warmly at Liora, who was sleeping peacefully in a cradle beautifully adorned with precious stones and jewels. He then shifted his gaze to Aurora, still suspended in the air and wrapped in a cocoon of Vylkr and divine energy. Unlike before, the two energies were no longer separated but attempting to intertwine, like opposing sea waves clashing against each other.

"How long has she been like this?" Orion asked, observing the scene with a frown.

"Things changed to this a few hours after you left. But since Aurora doesn't seem in danger, I decided to wait for your return," Aerialia responded, shaking her head. "Do you know what's happening to her?" she asked, turning her attention to Ilse.

'I just got here; how am I supposed to know?' Ilse's lips twitched slightly at the thought, but she quickly composed herself.

"Unfortunately, I also have no idea about what's happening. The only thing I'm certain of is that Aurora is no longer in danger. All we can do now is wait until she awakens," Ilse responded.

Upon hearing Ilse words, Orion and Aerialia exhaled tiredly in response.

"Tell me everything that happened out there," Aerialia asked, turning her focus back to Orion.

Before he could answer, Ilse interjected, "Why don't I show you instead?"

Aerialia's eyes shifted toward Ilse, and she nodded.

With a flick of Ilse's wrist, a transparent screen appeared before them. This time, it wasn't a live feed but a replay of everything that had transpired-from the moment the three divine entities—the two Vylkr spawns and the unknown woman-were pulled into the mirror realm to Ilse's pursuit of the unknown woman.

Aerialia watched the events unfold, her eyes widening in shock and confusion. Though her mind was filled with countless questions, she knew neither Orion nor Ilse had answers about what had just occurred. As such, she kept her thoughts to herself and swallowed her words.

The replay lasted several minutes before Ilse made the screen vanish.

"Have you visited the Sleeping Fox Runaway City to assess the situation?" Aerialia asked, her gaze shifting between Orion and Ilse.

Orion shook his head and responded, "Not yet. I've summoned some of our strongest warriors to prepare before we head there. We could encounter something we least expect, so it's best not to rush recklessly," Orion replied, shaking his head. He had even called a divine apostle to join them, but despite assembling three of their strongest, he still wasn't sure they were ready to confront whatever lay within the Sleeping Fox Runaway City.

"Yes, but it's complicated. I'll explain later, and you can tell me what you think," Seth

nodded.

Sadie suppressed her curiosity and helped Seth finish putting on his armour. She then escorted

him to the front door.

"Be back soon, Mr Seth," Sadie said with a respectful bow.

"I will," Seth replied before soaring into the air and disappearing into the distance.

....

Ilse sensed several figures standing outside her Golden Palace. "They're here," she said,

shifting her gaze to Orion.

"I'll be back soon," Orion said, nodding at Aerialia before turning to Ilse. "Let's go."

Ilse nodded and led the way out of the bedroom, through the brightly lit front door, and out

of the Golden Palace.

Outside, Zogar and Seth stood shoulder to shoulder. Zogar was dressed in rogue armour forged from mixed grey fabric and Vylkr alloys, with his Devourer Gear hoisted behind his

back.

While Seth wore full armour made of Vylkr alloys with crimson engravings of visible runes, his Devourer Gear was hanging by his waist.

Behind them stood Iris, fully armoured with her helmet on, followed by 250 warriors-204 four-star warriors and 46 with gifts or practised an art or technique related to the earth attribute. Each was dressed in varying warrior garments.

Though every warrior who had previously been stuck at the third star and retired was now a

four-star warrior, Orion couldn't summon all their forces to investigate the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, especially when facing such an uncertain, powerful enemy.

Orion nodded at them, then focused on Ilse and said, "Replay it for them from the moment of

the pursuit." Ilse nodded, flicked her wrist, and a wide transparent screen appeared in the sky.

The warriors watched the scene unfolding on the screen above until the unknown woman

dove into the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, and a phantom fox appeared over it with an astonished expression.
