In the Kingdom of Heves, a particular city called "Demursa" is bustling with people. Children, Adults, rchants, rcenaries, and People that have all kinds of professions co and go.
The Kingdom of Heves is known as the adventurer and rcenaries' turf. This kingdom welcos warriors and adventurers warmly. Due to this, it officially beca the trading, resting, and business place where the degu users in various parts of the continents gather.
Demursa City on the other hand is known as "Sin Ground" in the Kingdom of Heves. For this reason, underground gangs, people of unknown origin, and elusive criminals are hiding here.
This is a place where the righteous organization can't step foot on, as a lot of interests are intertwined within the city.
Even the kingdom only turn a blind eye to them as it was beneficial for their kingdom.
In Demursa City, the people that were walking were either wearing black robes, masks, and other props to conceal their identity. The whole city has a vibe of calm and strangeness that was different from the rest of the cities in the Heves Kingdom.
In a particular building that looks luxurious, a well-built man was sitting in a wooden chair with a wooden table, the man has a well-defined face and a neat beard. He has an X-shaped scar on his face, long hair, and an icy deanor. The man's eyes have a strange charm that would make anyone feel lost.
"Are you sure you won't chase him on the Monster World?" Opposite of the man in the chair said.
This man wears glasses, he has white gloves, laboratory white coat, and his eyes contained profoundness within as he looked at Jackson deeply.
Jackson looked indifferent. "Don't worry, I have my own arrangent. I didn't expect that guy to grow that faster, I should have already killed him, if not for him joining an official organization. But what can I do? It's not worth it to reveal my traces just to squash a bug like him, it's not worth it for . Jacob, you should know the best that I'm on my crucial ti at the mont."
Jacob sighed and says while fixing his white robe. "I know, are you confident to breakthrough to the S-rank?"
"I can feel that I need only two months and I can already feel my bottleneck loosening. It was thanks to the ritual I perford. Speaking of which, I don't how that guy survives the sacrificial book. He was the reason why my strength didn't increase steadily. If he only died I wouldn't have been delayed like this!" Jackson's face contorted as he rembered his failed ritual because of the abominable guy.
Jacob beca silent as if he was trying to gather his thoughts.
The sacrificial books were accidentally picked up by Jackson when they are exploring a ruin. There was a written thod in the book that can promote the strength of a degu user by one realm unconditionally.
Jackson was excited at first, but the conditions of the ritual are strict and cruel. Because, he needs to gather twenty-five young teens whose age shouldn't exceed 20 years old, and they should have a talent in degu energy.
Jackson spent three years preparing it intending to ascend to the S-rank in one fell swoop. But he didn't expect that soone would survive causing the ritual to beco incomplete. Fortunately, it still manages to bring his realm to its peak. But he needs another two years to promote himself to S-rank. He only has a pure hatred for Fein whom caused his promotion to S-rank to fail. That's why he monitored him for a few months before giving up after seeing that Fein join an official organization. Jackson was really helpless. That's why he decided to move to another country to focus on his 2-year promotion instead.
"I only need two months, if that guy can co out in the Secret Realm, I would kill him personally!" Jackson gradually cald down, but the air around him beca heavy, his whole body was exuding deep malice.
Jacob felt the killing intent of Jackson.
"That guy is lucky that the other organizations were watching your movent. But I have a doubt... Why do the other organizations were so desperate to kill you?"
Jackson at this mont beca gloomy, he frowned deeply before answering hysterically. "Five of the sacrificial targets happened to have so connection with influential figures! But what can I do!? The conditions are so strict and I can't wait any longer, that's why I risked it! that damned brat! Fein Bonifacio you're ti is counted!"
'He really hates that guy now huh' Jacob thought in his heart.
"I have investigated that guy, he has already grown so fast, I felt that in the future he would beco a threat to us, should I co to the Monster World to hunt him down?" Jacob made a suggestion, he was wary of the guy after knowing his growth through his investigations.
The eyes of Jackson beca fierce for a while before he gradually relaxed and made a playful smile, he took a deep breath.
"You don't have to waste your energy on him. I also didn't expect him to be so talented that had made his own na in the circle. Demon Slayer is it? But I estimate that he should only be B rank now. He's damned lucky that he even got Viscount's Vladimir support. I think he only manages to grow fast because of Lucius's Support and so talent."
"So what do you plan to do to him now?" Jacob asked promptly.
Jackson smirked, he looked as if the situation was within his grasp. "As I said, I already have an arrangent. After I got the information to my channels that Fein would go to the Secret Realm. I secretly contacted Lucius' arch enemy Maxwell Greyfold. And he agreed to my proposal as he ordered his most powerful subordinate to hunt Fein down, you should know his na in the degu circle, Shawn Murphy known as the "Steel Hunter". This ti that guy would be surely dead. Shawn is an A-rank degu user like , a re B rank won't have the chance to even resist."
Jacob looked at Jackson with awe. He couldn't help but applaud his cleverness.
