Chapter 326 Begin To Hunt



Not only the kingdom of El Merey, but even the other kingdoms were also informed of what happened. None of them made a move but they were watching like a hawk. In a secluded part of El Merey several birds were sent flying bearing news to the intended receivers.

Cygnus smiled when he saw this. Although they already knew the location of the other three on the list, there were other two that they knew nothing of. After the master got all the information in the royal library, they were able to narrow down the list into the group that the books referred to as the 'Circle of Eight'.

While the birds were on their way to their destinations, five of them were intercepted by the people working for Cygnus. They placed tracking magic on each of them and released them. After the tracking magic was placed, Cygnus could now have a view of where the birds were going.

Each of the members of the Circle of Eight received the news. Each of them had different reactions regarding the news but what's common was that they were all angry. All of them believed that they were the absolutes in that world and now that someone was threatening the power they held, they wouldn't sit still.

Aberleign crumpled the paper where the message was written and burned it with fire. He leaned on his seat and sighed. He had been alive for a thousand years now and this was the first time that someone was willing to challenge them. Based on the battlefield's description after the fight, half of the forest was completely destroyed.

Although the witch was strong, he was not sure if that destruction was caused solely by her. Aberleign shook his head. 'No, I can't underestimate the enemy. He might be the reason for that destruction.' He thought to himself. There was also no indication that the witch died so he could assume that she was still alive.

"If that's the case, then there's a big possibility that she was being kept as a prisoner by the person who did that," he mumbled to himself.

Aberleign decided to request for Evari and Arcaine to do a mission for him. He must track down the person who did that. As he was about to call for them, he suddenly remembered the words of the holy knight. The term World Breaker lingered in his mind and a terrible conclusion came to his mind.

Arcaine and Evari entered the elder's office after they were summoned. The man offered them a seat which they gladly took. They waited for the elder's words which took a while. Aberleign sighed several times before he finally looked at them and told them his request.

"I received the news that one of my friends disappeared. I wanted to request the both of you to go and investigate what happened. I also request that you track down the person who did it." The man started which made the two heroes a bit taken aback.

It was a request that would never happen because the elder was strong enough to manage his affairs. "Are you sure about that elder? Will you really be entrusting us with that mission?" Evari was the first one to ask.

"Yes. Arcaine already had a lead," the elder looked at the man, "this might be related to the World Breaker that you already investigated."

This point made Arcaine more attentive to the topic. He found some clues that might be related to the World Breaker but he was not sure if all of it were useful. If he could find more clues regarding the man with this mission then it would be a jackpot for him.

"Then I won't be polite and accept this mission," Arcaine answered. World Breaker, a person who was capable of destroying worlds, if he could meet that person then he could ask him to take him in.

"Then I would leave that matter to the both of you," Aberleign smiled. He then stood up and went back to his table to pick up the documents he prepared for the mission.

Evari looked at the both of them with wide eyes because they did not even hear her opinion regarding the matter. She was about to speak up when the elder was already back and giving them the document. She sighed and raised her hand. This action caught the attention of the two men.

"What is it, Evari?" The elder was surprised when he saw the woman suddenly raising her hand. He couldn't help but give a small laugh when he realized what was happening.

"I haven't given my opinion yet and everything is already settled," she frowned. She won't let these men lead the conversation.

"Ah, I apologize." Aberleign slightly inclined his head. "Do you have anything to say?" He was a bit excited that when Arcaine agreed he immediately took it as both of them agreed.I think you should take a look at

"First, I have a question on who this World Breaker is?" She asked because she was a bit lost when their conversation suddenly jumped to the topic about this World Breaker.

Aberliegn shook his head. He forgot that Evari was not a person who was well-informed. Every time she got a mission, she would focus on it and nothing could distract her. "He is a person with the power to destroy our world. That information came from the kingdom of El Merey. The Justice of Light recently requested information from all the hero associations and they gave a large amount of money as reward."

Evari nodded. She already heard about this Justice of Light after her mission because she passed by the El Merey kingdom. Since this World Breaker has an ominous name and he sounded dangerous, then she was willing to help.

She'll need to thoroughly read the documents given to her so that she could at least prepare. She gave the other man who was sitting at the end of the couch a smile but Arcaine ignored her. This was a normal occurrence so she could only accept the cold treatment.

"I will help then," Evari finally decided. She would help the elder and now protect the citizens at the same time. There was nothing more satisfying to a hero like her than to bring justice to the people and punish evil.

"Thank you," Aberleign nodded. The elder smiled but in his mind, he was happy because the woman was easily coerced. "Now, the document that I gave you contains the details of your mission and I am hoping for a good result."

"We will do our best, Sir Aberleign." Arcaine gave the elder a confident smile before he stood up followed by Evari. "We will go back first and prepare for the mission."

Aberleign nodded and waved his hand. After they left, Acasia came and brought a box of pastries for the elder. "I saw Arcaine and Evari, did something happen?" He placed the box on the table and took a seat on the empty seat.

"It's because I gave them a mission. One of the members of the Circle of Eight disappeared and it might be related to the appearance of the World Breaker," he explained. He sighed and shook his head for the nth time.

"That is a problem. Are they going to El Merey then?" Acasia became alert after that statement. He couldn't believe that there would be a time that one of the immortals in their world would be defeated by someone more powerful.

It was already unusual for a Circle of Eight member to be defeated but to think that they even disappeared was something alarming. The elder did the right decision to send two S-class heroes for the investigation. The World Breaker, whoever it was, was now giving them problems.

"Yes. I hope they find whoever did it and I will personally see to it that whoever is behind these will die a painful death," he sneered. Aberleign was ready to destroy anyone who would threaten his authority and power.

"I will ask the other heroes to relay any relevant information that can help us," Acasia volunteered. He would use all of his connections just to help the elder.

"Thank you," the elder acknowledged his efforts, "I'll make sure to add more funds to the hero association."

At the palace of Lunaira, the king also received the report regarding what happened. He frowned after reading the contents of the letter. Similar to Abereleign's guess, the king also suspected that this World Breaker person was behind the attack.

"Has the hero association made a move?" He asked the general who was standing beside his table.

"Yes. It seems that Sir Aberleign gave two S-classes a mission that is related to the World Breaker and the incident at the Dead Forest of El Merey." Ishmael diligently answered because the information was already sent by the spy inside the association.

"Alright, let them handle the matter then. But once the World Breaker shows any ill-intention against the royal family, then I don't have a choice but to also track him down."
