Chapter 70: The 9 Great Families

Third-person POV.

"Your Majesty, Emperor of the Empire, Lord of War, this problem is very serious. We have already lost many hunters of emerald rank and even one in the diamond rank. His father is seeking answers and justice for his fallen son in battle..."

A kneeling man could be seen inside a majestic castle. The hall where His Imperial Majesty was located was about 500 meters wide. The palace inside was decorated with all kinds of precious stones, illuminating the entire place. The Palace of God, the castle, and the command center of the entire Empire, the place where the most influential figures debate the course of the empire and also the safest place, the home of Emperor Gabriel Tudor Grimald, a being of sacred rank, the sword of the empire, and the strongest of the 3 beings of sacred rank and therefore the highest representative of this place.

"The cults of the creatures of the ancients have made their appearance all 7. They performed their sacrifices in Zone 5. Our investigation tells us that they are the same cults from years past.

Around the emperor, eight people could be seen, house chiefs with the title of Grand Duke each.

Next to the emperor, there was a mature man with a serious expression on his face, his hair was pure white, and his eyes red like fire. He wore a white suit with a red tie, matching his appearance. He always had an oppressive aura around him, his name was Noah Von Valeriano. Yes, Anthony's father was at this meeting, a being of maximum-mythical rank, the second strongest man after his best friend Gabriel, the emperor.

At the other end of the table, opposite Noah, there was a woman with blonde hair and blonde eyes, Verónica Benedetto, the highest representative of the church. She was a divine-level beauty, wearing a priestess outfit, and around her neck, she wore a crucifix. Her hands were together as if she were praying, and her ears were pointed, she was an elf. She was a being of sacred rank, the protector of the empire, a mage specializing in light and healing magic.

Sitting next to Noah was a woman with purple hair and purple eyes, she had a sensual smile on her face, and many secrets hid in her eyes. She looked at Noah with amusement. She was human, the matriarch of the Witches' House, Evelin Darkwood. Unlike Verónica, Evelin was a dangerous beauty, like a succubus that absorbs life force little by little, she was also another divine-level beauty. She wore a purple witch costume, her lips were also painted the same color. She was a being of medium-mythical rank.

Sitting next to Verónica was a woman with red hair and yellow eyes, excitement and anticipation could be seen in her eyes, and she had a big smile on her face. Lily Ember, matriarch of the Phoenix family, was another divine-level beauty. She wore a fiery red dress, and the temperature around her seemed to rise to dangerous levels. She was looking happily at each of the people at the table, she was human and a being of medium-mythical rank.

Next to Evelin was a man with blue hair and eyes, as deep blue as the sky or the depths of the ocean. He wore a sky-blue suit, and although his expression was serious, there was a little concern present. Finn Frostine, yes, he was Elsa's father. The concern in his eyes was obviously for his youngest daughter. Unlike Lily, he emitted an extremely cold aura that dropped to 0 degrees around him. He was a High Elf and a being of medium-mythical rank.

On the other side, there was a man with brown hair and eyes of the same color, wearing a completely black suit. Alex Starffall, or also known as Alex de la Cruz, head of the Ravens' House and therefore the richest family in the empire. His rank was the lowest of all in this room. He was an elf and a being of base-mythical rank.

In front of him was a man with a completely unconcerned expression and wearing a normal suit that anyone would wear at home, no, in fact, it's worse than that. Oliver Viridis, head of the Serpent family, had a bored expression on his face. If his wife were present, she would definitely hit him.

And lastly, sitting in front of the emperor, a lord, or rather, a dwarf could be observed. He had a large beard on his jaw, and his expression was serious. The only family by the dwarves that has a representative who is a duke, but at the same time, is a being of sacred rank, the shield of the empire, head of the Forge family, Draven Ironforge. He wore a battle suit.

All the most important people in the entire empire were gathered in one place to take measures against the 7 plagues...
