After returning to his residence in the Divine Plane, Lawrence looks out the window and sighs. The surveillance is practically non-existent, no one follows him anymore, and if they do, it's only routine.
He creates a Dinsional Rift and returns to the Inferior Plane.
"What happened with Celestial Firmant?"
Waiting for him on the other side is Sky Petal.
Lawrence looks around, the sa place where Celestial Firmant was forced to ascend to the Divine Plane, and says: "He is currently undertaking his journey through the Divine Plane, ultimately he decided to accept my proposal."
"I see."
She understands the aning of that response.
"Did you explain the misunderstanding, Sky Petal?"
"Yes, I've talked to the plants. There should be no reason for them to doubt Celestial Firmant's departure, he is free. It was his decision to leave."
They continue talking as they head towards their ho, without doubting their own words, their own lies.
Celestial Firmant is a dragon that had contact with the emissary of the Will of Nature, his sacred affinity allowed him to take on the role of judge for the situation surrounding Lawrence. Perhaps all ancient dragons have so contact with this will, maybe all unique beings are on its list, Lawrence isn't sure about that.
What he is sure of is that the death of Celestial Firmant was scheduled, the mont he lost his utility would be the ti to dispose of him.
If Lawrence made a mistake, it was in delaying the decision.
He should have killed him the day Coldness Divine inherited all his knowledge.
"What will you do with his body?"
Upon arriving at the mansion, Coldness Divine looks at him without a hint of regret on her face. Here, they can talk quietly, the only plants nearby are the spiritual herbs cultivated by Sky Petal. There's no risk that the Will of Nature will discover the end of Celestial Firmant.
"I will bury him."
"Ha! At least you have so sanity."
This woman's disdainful gaze strikes a nerve in Lawrence. Now that Celestial Firmant is gone, he will have to rely on Serene Will to know if this arrogant dragon has feelings for him.
In the near future, he has no doubt that this woman will continue to love him, but he doesn't know how long this situation will last.
Nothing is eternal.
Weeks pass and, unlike her rushed coronation, the wedding between Queen Reminiscent Euphony and the future king consort, Doneire Fable, is announced months in advance. Such news spreads throughout the Sky Blue Mountain Kingdom, with the Dajhir Kingdom being the first to congratulate them.
Only one group was not surprised by this news.
"Has there been any response from Disdainful Tempest and the Will of Nature?"
His main concern isn't the queen's wedding, but his hidden enemies lurking in the Inferior Plane, whose motives Lawrence still does not understand.
"None."
Who responds is Sky Petal. "Despite all the havoc wrought in the war and afterwards, both plants and humans continue the course of life without external interference--"
"Is it possible they've hidden their presence from the plants' perception?"
To Serene Will's question, Sky Petal answers without hesitation: "It's impossible, whether in the Divine Plane or the Inferior Plane, the communication of plants forms a territorial consciousness. No matter how much they are destroyed, before that they would have transmitted everything. If a human had said sothing important or if so demonic beast radically changed its behavior, even if the plants tried to hide it from , there would be traces of such an event."
Plants may have a bird's mory, but not so the territorial consciousness. Her answer does not satisfy Serene Will, because among the thoughts of Queen Reminiscent Euphony, there's sothing that keeps her uneasy.
Lawrence narrows his eyes and asks her: "Do you know sothing?"
"No... It's just that, the queen Reminiscent Euphony's father has disappeared. I have found no clues to his current whereabouts."
"That's not surprising." Coldness Divine lived for a ti as part of the royalty and knows so things others do not. "There will be different factions in the Sky Blue Mountain Kingdom, if he remained in the kingdom, the future of the new queen might be limited. He wouldn't want sothing like that to happen and that's why he left, a stupid honesty if you ask ."
Although this should close the case, Serene Will can't stop thinking about it. Because if that conversation they had between father and daughter turns out to be true, then the forr king Gray Solstice must know sothing.
"After all I've done, neither of them plans to show their faces. How much longer will they hide?" Lawrence thinks aloud. "In the first place, what's so special about the Inferior Plane that beings like them exist?"
The war should not have started nor ended this way, were it not for the threat of that stupid deer, Lawrence would have acted with even more caution. His actions had no more aning than to draw the enemy, making them feel that those kingdoms were essential for his conquest, that they had to be destroyed before they could beco a threat.
"Now I can only continue, keep conquering until one of them appears."
With the Dajhir Kingdom and Sky Blue Mountain Kingdom in his power, there's no longer any need for him to act. A single order from him will be enough to start wars. The majestic kingdoms of the Inferior Plane are now nothing more than chess pieces for a hunter from the Divine Plane.
Lawrence must be the mastermind, never to show himself among others again, he has no other choice but to do so.
Only then can he escape the repercussions.
"Preparations in the Inferior Plane are complete, now we just have to wait."
After sighing, he sets aside all his thoughts and focuses on the present, "Next is that inner disciple, bring back the core of the Archaic Ruin that guy stole from ."
Sky Petal and Serene Will nod. They were present that day, they still rember the face of the inner disciple from the Eternal Wind Sect, Decaying Fla.
"I will send you back to the Divine Plane, do everything possible to--"
"Lawrence."
Coldness Divine interrupts him, all eyes are on her. "There is sothing that takes priority over the recovery of the core of the Archaic Ruin."
Serene Will reads her thoughts and is surprised, she did not think Coldness Divine would be willing to make such a sacrifice just to...
"I know soone capable of reconstructing the magic formation Denial Domain."
"What?!"
She is pleased to see Lawrence so impressed, Coldness Divine would be more so if not for everything she will have to lose to achieve it. Because it is true that they will obtain sothing as valuable as a magic formation that seals spaces, but, in exchange for what?
"In my regressions, I t a woman who, with sufficient preparations, managed to kill a dragon from the Divine Plane using a magic formation. I might not have seen her do it in person, but if she's that woman, I'm sure, she did it."
After listening to her explanation, Lawrence...
"Hah."
A beautiful woman with long golden hair yawns, she looks up at the sky and speaks. "It's ti for my nap, do not disturb ."
Regardless of her vain attitude, none of the n around her interrupt her, quite the contrary, they respectfully bid her farewell. The woman enters the barracks and after reaching her room, she closes the door sealing it with a magic formation.
"Hah..."
She yawns again and lies down on her bed. Anyone seeing her at this mont would hold their breath, this woman is not only beautiful, perfect would be the closest word to the real description.
Of elf race, with long pointed ears and heterochromatic eyes, the left eye green and the right blue. Her sleepy gaze is peaceful and her features are beautiful, adding to her slender figure, she is the woman closest to perfection in terms of pure beauty.
Such a woman finds her sleep disturbed when she senses that her magic formation has been destroyed.
"Who?!"
Before she knows it, three won are inside her room.
"Long ti no see, Noble Indolence."
Instinctively she knew that these three won were stronger than her, not only because they differ by about 40 levels, but because she has witnessed the strong and knows that these three won are in a different category than her.
'I may be weak in terms of physical strength, but if I prepare in advance, none of them would be my match!'
Noble Indolence bites her lips, this situation is the worst. This is the barracks of the Unquenchable Fire Brothel’s private army, no one would expect a surprise attack in this place, but that is exactly what is happening before her eyes.
Keeping her pride, she sits up in bed.
"I'll be honest, I have never seen any of you in my entire life, I have a good mory, I know what I'm talking about." She looks into the eyes of the three won trying to find out with which of them she has enmity, but only the dragon-race woman shows hostility towards her. "I do not wish to deepen this grudge, could you tell who you are and what I did wrong?"
"Hahaha... You won't rember , but I can't forget you!"
"Guh."
The hand of that woman presses against her neck, preventing her from breathing.
"Of all my regressions, you always stood in my way! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen into Lawrence's hands!"
The one choking her is none other than Coldness Divine, who, recalling all her regressions, the tis she tried to destroy this sub-space, always found Noble Indolence waiting for her at the end of the path. How could she forget this woman's talent in magic formations when it was because of her that she died countless tis?
'Don't think I'll be an easy prey!'
Noble Indolence activates the magic formations in the room, hoping to buy ti to escape and seek help from others. Despite the level differences between them, Noble Indolence is sure of achieving this purpose, because these are magic formations designed to kill rankers!
But as soon as these are ford, she sees the woman with the long braid pull out a magic artifact shaped like an octagon, at that very mont all her magic formations suffer an unsustainable pressure, being destroyed in an instant.
"K- Kuh... How...?"
"Cardinal Inscription, it's the first ti I use it, the result isn't bad."
Serene Will nods satisfied. This magic artifact can strengthen magic formations and reduce their weaknesses, but it generates an unsustainable pressure for defective magic formations.
She decided to venture using it, but as she foresaw, at her compressed level 620, the magic formations of a level 580 hunter are considered defective. It would be different if Noble Indolence were the owner of this magic artifact, in that case, they would be the ones lanting.
"Enough gas."
Coldness Divine throws Noble Indolence towards her desk and then places a spellbook on it.
"Update it, you have 24 hours."
