“What is it? Did they fail again.” Great Elder Red’s robe covered hands were folded on his lap and his voice was neutral, but Cameal knew that this meant the Great Elder was beginning to be enraged. If his next words were unsatisfactory, he would be in trouble.
“Great Elder had put me in charge of information about the Regulation department of the clan and their pursuit of ‘him’. I’ve acquired latest intelligence!”
Elder was paying close attention to ‘Him’, and hence he looked up to stare at Cameal. “Speak!”
“He was hunted like a dog throughout the Akash City to the Grimaldi Forest as many teams joined together to kill him as well as his heretic family, we received positive report that his wife is dead, we don’t know exactly how but it was presumably the injuries inflicted during the pursuit! All teams then rendezvous at the place informed to be his hideout and kill him but…” Cameal hastily reported, but strangely enough, Red merely listened quietly and did not do anything special.
He continued, “After their combined attack we have lost all contact and it’s been confirmed that they are all dead! We don’t know if they managed to kill him.”
A strange dull enveloped the room as Cameal words fall as Red continued to remain silent.
“Great Elder?” Cameal raised his head and saw the dazed look on Red’s face. There were a few distorted spirit bodies hovering around him, pale, crooked palms grabbing at his feat.
Camel felt his heart lurch, as his body began to shake in fear. This discovery had him sink deeper into fear.
“Great Elder, maybe with so many injuries he also died, do you want to send another party?” Cameal asked as he tried to sound out. This loss is another blow to their once great family, currently they barely have any more force to gather and send another team for hunt, their powers have been slipping by day by day. All because of one man! one bastard!
“What is the situation of the riots and terrorists groups?”
Cameal looked down and said indignantly, “The condition isn’t ideal, our men are trying the very best to supress them but we are drastically outnumbered, there is also some outside force mixed inside as they are probably trying to test us and estimate our current military might.”
Cameal clenched his fist and side angrily, “Those vermins dare to oppose and riot against us, their own masters, this is all because of him. If not then how could our great clan would have fall so low! Great Elder, no matter what we must kill him we would send everyone available if he is not dead, and if he is dead we must hang his body in the headquarters for all to see as how their hero died before us!”
“*sigh* I don’t think he would die so easily, even after being gravely injured by the Ancestor that maggot is so powerful, before I thought we had a chance but it’s just sending lamb to slaughter!—*cough*— How much must I suffer! How much must we suffer. He killed all of my childrens and slaughter my grandchildrens, he ruined my family and we cannot do anything.” Red answered coldly but hatred and helplessness was apparent in his painful wail.
“Just go! and make sure the last line of defence holds on! As long as Ancestor attacks, irrespective of where that bastard is, he would die a tragic dead and all of the revolting scums and other nations politics would also die down.”
“Yes, sir!” Cameal bowed once more and left. Only after leaving the basement did he let out a long sigh. He felt like his entire top half was drenched in sweat.
Within the basement secret room, on the chair. The silent Red was in a daze, only standing up as he left and walking slowly.
He has the greatest authority currently in the clan but it’s in his authority and in his hands in which the clan has deteriorated to this state.
‘I really reget nothing having killed that vile insect back then.’ No one can understand the bitterness in Red’s heart about the current state of the clan. If only there was a medicine for regret, he has not only lost everyone of his family to that person but he himself is reduced to this state. The Atma clan the tyrannical authority and rulers over this continent has been reduced to a few powerhouses only, barely fighting off for the survival of the clan.
At such a critical time of the Atma Clan, their Ancestor the great Continent Sovereign, had suddenly announced he was going to seclude himself in meditation, which had given rise to protests and confusion in the clan as the situation outside was turning out of control with riots all over the land.
Of course, the idea of protest was only in the hearts of the clan subordinates. Those that would dare oppose the Ancestor overtly had been turned to ashes years ago.
Red looked down and stared at his hands, on his right arm, crests and troughs formed with signs of rotting on what should’ve been wrinkled pale skin.
“Please my Lord return and save your clan.” Red prayed deep inside but he knows it was all for naught although they are the descendants of the great Ancestor, many generation have changed over the years. The difference between the life span of Country Monarch and Continent Sovereign is like the enormous gap between heaven and earth, there is just no comparison.
The Ancestor have a little relationship with the current clan successors and elders, previously they were flourishing in his shadow, tyrannically ruling the continent but now during the tough times they are feeling the full brunt of these circumstances.
Although Red knows that everything would be back to normal once the Ancestor comes back but unfortunately Red is already at the end of his life span.
His biggest regret is not having a chance to see the downfall of his bastard son, the legendary rouge Maroon!
…..
While the situation in Spirit Mark World was brewing into an interesting blend for Leylin, and he was totally encapsulated by an amazing discovery which accompanied him as he waited to comprehend the full situation from Maroon once he wakes up, there was also a certain event happening in the Central Continent too.
Magus World
Atoot Mountain,
[Beep! #1Clone body sending an unknown distress symbol disturbance, truesoul weakening.]
Various pieces of data showed before the real body of Leylin who was inside his Phoenix chambers.
[Beep! Target coordinates found!] In the last line, Leylin saw a position.
This was the location the A.I. Chip had traced back from the clone. Leylin was just going through the normal routine of keeping an eye on the progress of Phoenix egg as he was notified of an anomaly by the A. I. Chip about the #1 clone which is with Lita.
Leylin uses the A. I. Chip to constantly keep an eye on others especially Lancy in Lava World with the #2 clone, #3 clone in Spirit Mark World and lastly Lita with the #1 clone.
All of them have an A. I. Chip but the spiritual truesoul bond between the clone make it’s better to keep an eye on the situation. The main A. I. Chip server notified him about a certain previously predetermined signal constantly send by the clone not received.
The A. I. chip is an instrument and it doesn’t forgot so this means something must have happened and as Leylin tried to pry their locations he wasn’t able to access it.
As such the #1 clone protection protocol was triggered and it used an explosive detonating attack and destroyed the disturbance keeping the coordinates hidden.
“Even though it’s far… and it wouldn’t be much to reach there but I don’t think of they can hold on for so long. The clone would disable in a few moments and Lita would be in mortal danger.” Leylin’s face darkened, and he began radiating a murderous aura.
“You finally showed your fangs huh, good trick but not good enough. Now be ready to die!” An explosion sounded out as he turned into a phantom, disappearing from the room.
…
“Quick! The sealing has been countered, the Rank 5 Warlock will find us!”
A female Magus shouted as seemed to wake up from her trance giving out an promt to her teammate and leader.
“What should we be scared of? He’s just a Radiant Moon Warlock. As long the three of us combine powers, we have nothing to be afraid of!” Another Radiant Moon Magus said indignantly.
“Eugene makes sense. Prepare for another battle. Since the seal broke, join us Carol to kill them before he appears!” The leader sighed and spoke with killing intent as he eyed the duo before him.
“Leader, why are you—” Carol looked anxious at first, before growing shocked as she glanced at the sky not far away.
A black tornado was whirring with energy as it headed for them in full force.
“It’s not that we’re choosing not to leave. He’s already found us,” the leader said bitterly.
“Let’s kill them!” The guy named Eugene shouted as he attacked full power against two wrecked and injured looking Gaint Kemoyin Serpent.
These two are none other than Lita and Leylin’s clone!
