"T-tommorow? How the hell do they expect us to get there!?" Tyr instantly reacted.
The Lrax remained silent.
"Get there!?" Hanzo replied, "You’ve already decided to go?"
"No! Im just saying! Thats crazy!" Tyr replied, changing his attention back to the Lrax:
"This information... when did you receive it?" Tyr asked.
"re hours ago, Sir."
Tyr took a step back, exhaling with slight frustration.
Malon shook his head, "Well... what do you want to do?"
Tyr looked at him, "This is not normal." He looked back at the Lrax, "Do we have a choice in this situation?"
The Lrax quickly replied, "Sir..." He paused, looking at Tyr with a slightly desperate look in his eyes: "All of the Emperors of Ainsveld will be present, along with many Kings and thousands of other individuals. Im afraid, even though you do have a choice to not go, you would be doing yourself a huge disfavor."
Tyr sighed, "So thats a no then huh... it’s not like we can make enemies of the entire fucking continent for sothing like this."
"So then, you will be going?" The Lrax inquired.
"We don’t have much of a choice it seems in that departnt," Hanzo exclaid.

The Hunter squad Judgent left the Lrax’s marquee after informing him of their answer.
Tyr gritted his teeth, "This is not normal." He said again, causing Malon to glance over at him.
"You’ve said that twice now... what are you talking about? I an, of course, sothing like this isn’t normal... but you defeating the damn Black rchant Guild isn’t exactly normal either."
Tyr sighed, "We... we defeated him. Anyways, that’s not what I’m talking about. Sure, I expect an event of gratitude I guess. But for all of the Emperors to be there? Above that... it feels rushed. Why would they not have more ti to prepare? As if they want to do this as soon as possible or sothing... as though in fear."
Malon chuckled, "I an, its continental news. Im sure everyone who would have been there will still be there even if its on a one-day notice. Its not like they can just skip it because they were rushed."
"Thats true, but still. Giving an earlier notice is what would be normal. That ans that sothing is out of place here..." At that mont, Tyr’s eyes landed on a rooftop, where he spotted another shadowy figure disappear from his vision.
His eyes squinted at that mont, his brain seeming to move quickly.
"Wait a second..." He said, his eyes nearly closed, "Spies... and now, a rushed event from all of the kingdoms. Now that I think about it, spies don’t seem to match the good occasion of defeating a villainous group. A small squad of representatives from an empire is what would be more fitting. Spies... they are only signs of danger."
He sighed.
"I don’t know why I didn’t see it from this perspective before... but I have a bad feeling that there is malice behind this invitation."
Hanzo and the others donned serious expressions as they heard this.
"What you’re saying makes sense... I suppose then that its best for us to prepare beforehand." Hanzo said in a low tone.
Tyr looked over at Noa, "You’ve broken the Black rchant Guild’s teleporting Aura Arrays... do you think there’s any way that you can re-create them?"
Noa faced downwards toward her hand, "Hmm... probably... but it would take a long ti to learn it. Probably over a week."
"A week that we don’t have." Malon comnted.
Tyr sucked his top teeth, "Tsk... we need a way to quickly leave that place in case it is a..." He leaned inwards, causing the rest of Judgent to do the sa.
"Trap." He whispered, his eyes scanning for any spies.
Everyone nodded, quickly putting their brains to work.
"By the way, lets say we manage to find a way to quickly teleport out... how are we going to get there in the first place? I get transportation terminals, but those are only in capital city’s for the most part. Even if we rush, we aren’t getting to a capital city in weeks..." Hanzo exclaid, not sounding too optimistic.
Everyone was silent for a mont, but then, Tyr sounded to have an answer: "Its simple... we need to find a way to get there and also a way to get back. Two in one..."
"That only makes the odds even worse." Malon joked, slightly demotivated.
"Good." Tyr smirked, "At least we will learn sothing... hopefully."

The team spent a while thinking of what to do.
Noa explored options through the shops of the city, looking at different Aura Array tools to break and create different Aura Arrays.
Despite this, nothing seed to be of much help.
Malon tried his best to think of sothing, but soon realized that he was as useless as piss when it ca to this and gave up.
Hanzo looked through the city as well, scouring the entire place for different forms of transportation that would be the fastest.
Tyr did everything that everyone else did... but in the end, he was left stumped.
Finally, desperate and wanting a solution, he decided to think abstractly.
’Tsk...’ He mused, sitting beside the street, seemingly defeated. ’My Planetary Teleportation ability is overpowered. It allows to teleport across entire planets... but it cant even let teleport a few thousand miles on a single globe. How silly...’
At that mont, a realization struck his head, ’Hmm... but what if thats the point? Maybe the ability to teleport great distances isn’t the powerful aspect... but rather, the shorter the distance one can teleport, the more powerful in battle.’
On thinking to himself, it made sense.
’GG... all of my spells can evolve and grow stronger, right?’
[Correct]
’Then... if Planetary Teleportation’s base spell power is to teleport between planets, maybe as it evolves, I can teleport shorter and shorter distances...’
At that mont, Tyr closed his eyes, ’I have nothing else... I guess its worth a shot to atleast take a peek and see if theres even a smidgen of a chance.’
’From planets... large distances across planets should be the next one, right? I just hope thats kingdoms apart, and not continents...’ He thought to himself, imagining himself using Planetary Teleportation to get to Ovalantis.
His eyes scrunched as his brows furrowed, the visualization of where he would arrive suddenly appearing in his head.
’Oh shit... it might actually work.’ He smirked, ’I guess its ti to evolve the first spell I ever used.’
