Chapter 898 Cap 896: War On The Horizon

Pov Andreia (Executioner of Light):

I was in front of the High Priest, I had just given the death report of the Hero of Light and his group, as well as the oracle.

"He died too soon, this could disrupt our plans." (High Priest)

"We also received a divine revelation, it seems that the Hero's Soul has disappeared." (I)

"I already expected this, he wanted to announce to everyone that he was the same Hero of the past without realizing that the difference in his new body would be noticed." (High Priest)

"We tried to make his appearance as close to his previous body as he was when he was young, but we couldn't do anything about changing his Aura and energy signature." (I)

"We were going to use him as a sacrifice to summon a new Hero, now we've been backed against the wall." (High Priest)

The Black Emperor has been gathering his armies and his ambassadors have been active in other nations, he has been doing so since the failed attack on the Dark Continent.

Others have also been putting more and more pressure on our Church of Light to the point where they don't have time to go after the traitor I once called sister.

"What shall we do next, High Priest?" (I)

"We have to attack first, we need to make them focus on us until we finish the Door." (High Priest)

"Let's act as if we were preparing for war, right now it's just a matter of time, when the Door is finished it will be our victory." (High Priest)

"Baldr's glory!" (High Priest)

"Baldr's glory!" (I)

Pov Klaus (Moon Butcher):

I was back in the village, I was kneeling before the Elf King after telling him all about my investigation.

"So it's the Demonic Shadow..." (Uryma)

"Most likely, it was the only one we lost back then." (Ury)

"Can the Seal resist?" (Uryma)

"No, the state of the surroundings that Klaus reported shows that it's past the breaking point, more than half of the seal layers must have been broken." (Ury)

"We could reinforce…" (Uryma)

"We can't, the breaking of these layers of seal shows how much the energies of nature are out of balance." (Ury)

"So there's only direct confrontation left?" (Uryma)

"Yes, but at least we should still have time to prepare, my only concern is that another conflict might get in the way." (Ury)

"Church of Light." (Uryma)

"Let the others take care of them, I'll contact the other villages." (Uryma)

After listening to my report the Elf King and the World Tree Spirit began making plans almost ignoring me, listening to their debate alerted me to what was to come while also making worry well up in my chest.

"(I need to make sure my daughter is safe, I can't lose her too...)" (I)

"Klaus, I have a new mission for you..." (Uryma)

Pov Zenos:

"< Dragon's Awakening: 16% >" (I)

I feel my body fill with power as I lunge forward punching a humanoid creature with a dragon's head covered in green scales all over its body, this monster is called Dragon Man.

He is 2 meters tall and has a very strong defense, he uses a large Ax that swings like a light branch, and he has Ki and mana resistance, but even so, I am fighting him melee using only my Ki, a method very useful training tool to put me under pressure.

He is almost twice as tall as me, but the important thing is that his strength is on par with mine, making him a great training partner.

I use Ki while blending my Aura and Authority together with my weapons, I'm using my sword and dagger, one in each hand.

Our combat starts with me hitting his ankle to lose his balance, but he withstands my blow while trying to hit me from the front with his claws.

I dodge and try to use the force of his blow to pull him forward throwing him, then I throw my dagger that he tries to block, but my dagger seems to curve in space as it avoids his arm and lands only a small wound on his chest, this Dagger was infused with the element of space.

Me and the monster exchanged a lot of blows, and each attack of it was heavy, moreover, this monster didn't seem to get tired, it only used its body to fight from the beginning, meanwhile, I was using my energy.

"< Vampire Blade >" (I)

The blade on my tail takes advantage of the open wound on the chest to pierce even deeper into the monster's body, so I start absorbing the blood from its body, for a monster that size it should take a few tens of seconds, but I felt a very high absorption speed bigger now, in less than 10 seconds the monster's veins were dry.

When the monster fell to the ground, I threw my sword at its eye making the blade go through piercing to the brain.

"You fought well, but your movements were still too tight." (Natasha)

My sister who was watching me fight came out from behind the tree where she was hiding so as not to interfere and started teaching me faster ways to use my Authority.

-------------

Pov Silvia:

"You are doing well, as a representative of a God, you are the Embodiment of his Authority, so you must feel that Authority within you." (I)

"I can't, I don't feel any of that." (Diana)

"That's because it's still early for you to awaken that Authority." (I)

"Zenos is already learning, his Familiars and even Karina are learning, I don't want to be left behind." (Diana)

I've seen many like her, people who feel they are being left behind and want to try to force a way forward.

"You don't need to hurry, as a Champion will get there sooner or later." (I)

After taking care of Diana, I went back to Sakura, she was still meditating inside the big flower she created.

"It's still not good, it will need more time." (I)

------------

Pov Orion:

"How it was?" (I)

"They died, we don't know anything else yet." (Nix)

"Then we have to go back to training, I still can't use the Master's Authority, I have to train more." (I)

"You'll make it, just keep trying." (Nix)

After leaving the Dungeon with Nix, we re-enter the Dungeon Nest of Dragons, while returning to the area where the master is training.
