“This is the place…”
Lawrence walks near the residence of that woman without any emotion on his face, simply using this trip as a change of routine to head to another location.
“It is similar to Serene Will and Coldness Divine, this woman is considered on the second highest tier after Prescribed Dream.”
The residence of Absolute Prominence and its surrounding grounds are beautiful, a place where many would like to live.
“That's enough for today.”
Lawrence does not dare to draw attention and continues his day like any other. It is in the following weeks that he begins to choose a variation of this path trying to find his target, he doesn’t feel anyone watching the place, but he keeps his guard high.
A month later he encounters her.
Absolute Prominence is a tiger girl with golden hair, ears, and tail. With sky-blue eyes and feline pupils, her face is beautiful, but it shows a conceited woman unafraid of anything.
Of all the won Lawrence has seen in this brothel, she has the most normal body of all. She does not stand out in any aspect other than her beauty, but this in itself is attractive. There are many with beautiful looks and exuberant proportions, but none like her.
Currently, she is sitting on a wooden bench and when she perceives Lawrence's gaze, she imdiately changes her expression.
“If I weren’t in this place, no one would dare look at like that.”
Her hands grip the wood and easily destroy it. Her fangs co out, and she looks with hatred at the man who t her gaze. Since when has she allowed a man to look down on her? Is he mocking her? How dare he even have hidden motives in his gaze?!
Lawrence squints his eyes and steps back a few paces. There are so won who, without him doing anything to them, attack him as if he were their worst enemy just because he has a penis.
"You don't look like one of those guys. You must be a servant, right?"
The fact that this man has stepped back implies many things, but in her mind, she can only despise him.
Absolute Prominence stands up from her seat. “At least they don’t dare to look in the eyes, but you are different. Who are you? Speak!”
Only then does Lawrence understand. The only servants Absolute Prominence has dealt with are those who do the chores in her ho, who always keep their heads down, she has not encountered anyone who works in the administrative sector or in cleaning the surroundings.
Coincidence or not, he is the only one who is not a client, but who still dared to look her directly in the eyes, as people of different social ranks. A re servant thinking he is superior to her? Feeling so inferior triggered an inappropriate reaction from her.
“A level 300 hunter acting rampant in front of a level 500. Tsk, just what I needed.”
“Don’t you dare take another step, servant.”
Lawrence continues walking when he feels the mana flowing behind him, he turns around just in ti to see three shadows rising from the ground and forming the appearance of different subjects.
‘Did this bitch murder her servants and turn them into shadows?’
"When I ascended to the Divine Plane, I acquired the shadows of countless talents. How long do you think I survived fighting against supposed rankers?"
Absolute Prominence smiles, boasting of her achievents, always looking down on the ignorant servant in front of her. "What is level 500 but a re number? Once I get hold of your corpse, you will serve for life!"
Lawrence continues to look skeptical and then laughs heartily.
“You and your level 200 summons? Don't make laugh!”
He doesn’t wait for her to act, voluntarily he is the first to attack. Hundreds of sacred swords appear around him, in a fraction of a second sacred chains rise from the ground and attempt to capture Absolute Prominence along with her shadows.
“mories are not for reminiscing, they are a mark of their existence.”
Absolute Prominence rushes to utter nonsensical words, but sohow they cause a strange feeling in Lawrence.
“Developing your Way at this stage of the ga? Too late!”
What the sacred chains failed to accomplish, the sacred swords did. Countless attacks from all directions injured her but concentrated only on defeating the shadows that accompanied her.
The difference in levels is overwhelming. Talent is crushed by strength. Lawrence is not the sa dao protector who faced Serene Will and Coldness Divine in those days.
Her shadows disappear as they cannot withstand the attacks, while the body of Absolute Prominence is left with various injuries.
Lawrence was about to say sothing, but then he sighs. "Hah, not everyone will be like . If next ti you don't achieve your goal... Anyway, goodbye."
When Lawrence leaves the place, Absolute Prominence can do nothing but clench her teeth and watch the back of that servant, but she will not be content with this. Is level 500 overestimating oneself? Fine! She will slowly narrow the gap until she obtains shadows capable of dealing with them!
She adjusts her attire and returns to her residence. She has not yet lost hope of ascending to the top! She will rebuild her shadow army!
Lawrence stops in the distance and smiles. Only he understands the significance of his actions.
Capital Lakeleaf, Sky Blue Mountain Kingdom. Inferior Plane.
Reminiscent Euphony and her father, the current king, listen with dark expressions to the report of one of the kingdom’s knights.
“We have found the cause of the massive deaths in towns and cities…”
A year after the war between the Sky Blue Mountain Kingdom and the Dajhir Kingdom, strange events began to occur a few months ago. Overnight, towns and small cities woke up with none of their inhabitants alive. On their bodies were signs of resistance, marks from weapons as well as magics.
It is unusual that no signs of reinforcents were sent from those places.
“From reliable sources, we have discovered that the Dajhir Kingdom has created a magic capable of sealing spaces, innurable resources must be utilized for this purpose, but the result is the absolute blockade of all beings and objects within it.”
Both the princess and the king feel that this war is reaching its climax. The victor and the loser are soon to be announced, and they are no longer so sure of what they will obtain.
A kingdom without inhabitants, can it be called victory?
They hate that the Dajhir Kingdom is so perverse in its advance knowing that they are the ones who are losing the most. Can they no longer retreat? As soon as they obtained the mountain with elental minerals they should have stopped! But no! They wanted more!
“Leave us alone.”
“Yes, your majesty.”
After the knight departs, the king sighs deeply. His wrinkles have beco much more pronounced in this single year than in all the years of his life. King Gray Solstice is over 200 years old, 70 of which he has ruled the Sky Blue Mountain Kingdom.
Reminiscent Euphony can see through her father’s eyes and decides to say what she has kept in her mind for a long ti.
“They still believe the dragon is vicious, that it is demanding sacrifices. They consider that we are between the sword and the wall, because they have not witnessed the power of the ranker.”
“Euphony…”
The king interrupts her, he knows what she will say next, but she insists on making her thoughts known anyway.
“He could end the war in a few days. It wouldn’t even be necessary for him to move… If that dragon makes an appearance…”
“Hah, dear daughter of mine.”
He understands that his daughter is trying to solve the problem, but the variables to consider are too many. “His character and temperant are unknown. We do not know what he may ask for in exchange for his help. Including him on the board might not only destroy the enemy pieces, his influence will be such that everyone will doubt whether to swear allegiance to the crown.”
If that ranker decides to solve everything by himself, his authority will surpass royalty. If he were benevolent, they would not hesitate to take his hand. The problem is that they know nothing about him.
“If your majesty agrees, I wish to make a personal visit.”
Nevertheless, Reminiscent Euphony does not change her mind. King Gray Solstice remains silent, watching his daughter calmly, the current princess and who will inherit the crown.
“You may do so.”
“Thank you, your majesty.”
He has seen every flower in his kingdom bloom and wither, life and death are nothing before the legacy of his ancestors. Today they stand, but history will rember them only as that. Gray Solstice knows this cycle more than anyone, more than his own father. His only fear is that every brick wall be dismantled and all that they have worked for be forgotten.
The ghosts of the past always resurface every ti he must make a decision on which the future of his kingdom depends. Only this ti, the decision is not in his hands.
“Your Highness…”
As Reminiscent Euphony prepares for the journey, one of the royal knights approaches her. “Should I inform His Excellency Doneire Fable of your departure?”
“No, he nor anyone else must know of this.”
That sa day, the princess leaves the royal castle, heading towards Flourishing River City.
