126 Champion of Psychic Eyes Perspective
[Champion of Psychic Eyes Perspective] [Nanako Maki Perspective]
Hundreds of years ago, my Dodoki ancestors settled themselves on the Athetosea Kingdom. Being originally from the Azuma Empire, they traveled across several demi-human kingdoms and villages, but never found the economic stability that they desired to do their rchant business.
However, as the Athetosea Kingdom was originally made up of wise and veteran rchants, its economic stability was superb. Due to my ancestor riches and knowledge, even if they were demi-humans, my family was welcod. After several generations of marrying nobles, we beco a noble family too.
Hundreds of years since then, I was born. A Mixblood between Human and Dodoki. The humans call Half-Dodoki for short.
Although I am not the first Mixblood on my family, we are certainly rare. Due to our genes and the humans being very similar, we can procreate. However, the Human gene or the Dodoki gene will usually dominate each other, so a child will either be a Dodoki or a Human.
A Mixblood is the combination of both genes, sothing that rarely happens. Such an event is so rare that a Mixblood has not been reported to have been born on my family for one hundred and fifty years.
And then, I was born as a Mixblood. Because such an event is so rare, they called a "chosen children", and to feed my family beliefs, I was blessed by the Goddess of All-Seeing Vision and obtained a [Epic] skill.
To fulfill my family expectations, I trained and studied. Overall knowledge of the world, mathematics, science, language, etiquette, music knowledge, cooking knowledge, rchant arts, etc.
I've seen the dark side of humans. And that certainly changed . I don't like it when things don't go my way, as it would be dangerous for my family and the situation of my Kingdom. Using my knowledge, I bribed and convinced people, and even, contracted shady people, to do the business that I cannot do myself.
After officially awakening as a Champion, I studied even more. I negotiated with the other noble families. I generated connections and also fa and wealth. I made my family raise over others, and after twenty years, we reached the top ten strongest and wealthiest noble families of the Athetosea Kingdom.
The only family with demi-human origins to reach such a feat, not even the elves have reached what I had.
However, things never went as I wanted. The nobles surrounding looked at with despise and hate. So tried to sabotage my business, to ruin my connections, and even tried to take my life or that of my family.
Due to this constant threat, I created an organization, my organization. I recruited talented n and won, human and demi-human. Preferably young and orphan, so I can raise them to be loyal to and no one else.
I took those children that were starving on the streets, those who stole for food and never saw a future.
I raised them and cultivated their talents. Mages, Diviners, Guards, Assassins. In twelve years, I managed to do what others would find impossible even in their lifetis.
A full-on organization that can do almost anything. Information gathering and storing, divination and tracking, spies and assassins. Using this organization, I settled my family as soone who should not be ssed with.
The hateful glares and jealously suddenly stopped, being replaced with desperate and false smiles and fear. With my organization, I was even able to take down competitors and even steal their assets. And due to my status as a Champion, the other nobles couldn't do anything about it.
However, there are still, very few houses that can oppose , to those, I stay wary and make good friends. A gentle smile and a cheerful laugh.
As ti passed, more champions awakened and the ten elental knights were also born. In reality, half of these individuals, are my friends and subordinates.
As the one with the highest status, the threat as the leader and call for assistance. I consider them my family and help them, they also do favors for , sotis even assassinations and subjugations.
The constant disputes between nobles created what's called an "internal war" between two different sides. One wants to invest in war power, while others want to keep exploiting the commoners and use this money to fund the economy.
Because of my status and influence, I can easily make one of these sides the ultimate winner. However, I don't want any of them to win.
Certainly, I do agree that we need to invest into military power, however, I also agree that exploiting the commoners keep our economy as stable as it has been for hundreds of years.
What I want is a middle ground, but for that, lots of paperwork and negotiations must be done, I need to keep creating connections and convincing the nobles, while also gathering information and getting rid of those on my way.
And then, a disturbance on my plans happened. The youngest daughter of the Lomanie Family ca back to her family. And after a series of strange events, her brother killed the head of the Lomanie family and she inherited this position.
My spies saw the whole thing, it was flawless, the brother killed his father, there wasn't any manipulation or anything. He just did it, Alice was there, and cried for his father.
If this was just another poor noble family, I wouldn't mind anything that is going on inside, but it's the Lomanie family, one of the wealthiest and most influential families. The death of the head of this family alongside the quick replacent put in awe a lot of nobles.
My [Legendary Relic] gave a signal. Sothing is very odd about all of this situation. Due to this, I made several of my diviners alongside spies to secretly watch over the Lomanie family.
Alice Lomanie, she is certainly a very well-hidden woman. Whenever I talk to her, there is sothing odd about her aura that I cannot understand. I cannot use my abilities with her, as it would be an extre offense.
-----
I've found those who have been lurking. Disguised as adventurers, however, they were demi-humans, Dhampirs, to be exact.
Dhampirs are not true-blooded vampires, but humans converted thanks to a true vampire drinking their blood while leaving them alive. Of course, a Dhampir can evolve into a True Blood Vampire with enough ti and effort.
Their hypnotizing and illusion abilities are incredible, this ans that they weren't converted by a low Vampire, but a very strong one, probably as strong as a Champion.
They had strange illusion rings that made them resemble their original appearances as humans. These rings are of extre value to my investigation, however, they co covered on a Status Blocking Skill, that cannot let read their statistics alongside the creator's na.
It will take so ti, but I will manage to unseal this, for now, I tried to interrogate the captured Dhampirs. But I was welcod by an explosion.
It seems that they had so kind of device on their heads, which made their entire brains blow up the mont they were made to talk against their wills. Due to this, I wasn't able to obtain any information whatsoever.
This is frustrating… Nonetheless, their bodies, even if dead, are valuable enough. There are several trackers on my organization that can tell where they ca from with so ti.
I thanked the Elental Knights for their assistance, especially the Elental Knight of Gemstones, Saeko Hoseki. Without her luring these Dhampirs, I wouldn't have been able to catch them
These formidable knights help is certainly appreciated and I always make sure to remain in good terms with them. Saeko will probably rise into a Hero in the future, she has talent and intent but needs ti to grow.
-----
After an intense investigation that my subordinates did alongside myself, we managed to track so of the essence of the beings these Dhampirs have been in contact with. Aside from normal humans on the streets alongside the Elental Knights, there were two extrely dense, scarlet-colored auras.
One led towards the Lomanie Family territory… And the other, far way, outside of the Kingdom.
Just as I thought, these suspicions I have for Alice Lomanie aren't baseless anymore. She is directly related to these Dhampirs, and what I fear the most may be true. She has been manipulated by this outside force.
I prepared a squadron of my strongest assassins to track the outside force. As long as one keeps alive and bring back information, everything will be worth it. These people are ready to die for , as I have trained them this way. If the enemy catches them alive, they will take their lives with a special poison bomb on their hearts.
The only way to know about Alice's true identity is by confronting her. If I can manage to et her in person, I can activate my skill [Six All-Seer Eyes of Perception] and imdiately reveal her true identity. Now that I'm sure that she is hiding sothing, I don't have to fear to commit an offense against her, as she is most likely a monster in disguise, or perhaps another Dhampir.

Sigh… Things didn't go as I expected them to go.
Once again, I let my emotions take the best of and lost my cool. The Lomanie house has a higher status than the Maki house, and I went over my own status and forced her to get outside.
The guards reported this to the King himself, and I am lucky that I got outside of this only being reprimanded, perhaps only because of my wealth, organization and connections. However, I cannot let myself commit such a mistake anymore.
For now, I will spy on Alice and gather any type of information regarding her weird behaviors, if I'm able to have enough proof, I can use this to lure her out and even convince the King or the Princess about this.
But for now, I shall remain cautious and lay low. I will begin gathering strong soldiers and rcenaries on my side and create a battalion, I have already detected this monster hideout, it's on the Grand Forest. Whatever it is, I will exterminate it before things beco worse.
-----
The assassins and spies I sent have not co back, and their status appears to be "deceased" on the party nu. They have been completely annihilated.
For this monster to be able to accomplish this, not even a skilled group of veteran adventurers would be able to completely defeat this group of highly trained assassins. At the very least if the difference in strength was too big, they would have been able to easily run away with their stealth skills and high speed.
However, not a single one was able to escape, all of them were annihilated on the spot…
This monster power may be equal to mine or even close to the Hero of Raging Winds… My options are too few, this monster's power and influence could completely shatter what I've been working for so long.
I cannot let myself be defeated. I need to destroy this nace before it takes control of this Kingdom.
Even though I still cannot inspect the rings yet, I will send my troops to the Grand Forest. In these co included the Elental Knight of Thunder, Wind, and Nature. Although I would have liked to include a Champion, their status is equal to , and I cannot force them to do as I say, even when they consider the leader of the five.
The Champion of Black Flas is my closest friend in the group, but even she cannot go, as her status ask her to remain in the Kingdom and take care of its security. Well, she is also obsessed with n and cannot stop looking for new "prey"… Sigh.
Even if they are completely annihilated, the Elental Knights are sure to co back alive, as their strength combined is the sa as a Champion.
However, even when everything is sure to go as I planned; I cannot stop having a weird feeling.
Perhaps, working so intensively is making paranoid, I will spend the rest of the weekend with my family and sisters. And see how things go from there.
-----
While I was having a buffet with my family, a spy reported with news about the investigation of the rings.
The one who created these rings calls itself Kireina… And its Title is the "Realm nace of Lust"…
I would have never thought that the Grand Forest would ever give birth to a Realm nace.
Realm nace are Titles given to monsters or sotis humans that have attained an overwhelming amount of power and an incredibly big number of subordinates.
These beings have been part of this Realm since its creation, when the original world, Genesis was split into countless Realms.
So people call them the embodint of sins, and in a way, it's true. Each Realm nace is called by a respective Sin. There cannot be two representing the sa Sin.
These beings can manipulate the sin of others and gain power incredibly fast by consuming them. Aside from this, they are tyrannical beings that seek destruction and domination.
So call them Demon Kings or Overlords…
Such an entity, if it's really true… I have sent my troops and those Elental Knights towards their doom…
I need to tell this to the Nobles and the King, and quickly make preparations. And possibly, even alert neighbor Kingdoms and Nations…
If we are too slow, destruction is the only destiny that awaits us…
