21. In Four..... Months
"I promise I am not affiliated with them yet!" Avani scread loudly, tears heavily pouring from his eyes. "They gave that crystal to test out its potency, that’s all," he stamred. "Please! Don’t kill ." He groveled at Revet’s feet.
His snot poured all over Revet’s slides, and Revet took a step back.
"You are so pathetic. Wouldn’t it be better to die with dignity intact?" Duran asked, his eyes filled with disgust.
Asmaroth tapped Duran on the shoulder. "Duran-chan, don’t spoil the fun," she giggled angelically. "Isn’t this so entertaining to watch... hahaha." She placed her well-designed nails over her mouth. "Hey!! Why don’t you oink for and I might beg my handso master over here to take you as his cleaner," she said mockingly with a terrifying look.
As expected of the Pri Goddess of Karma, the rumors fit perfectly. Her sadistic nature was sothing Revet found very disorienting. She was a goddess who found it interesting to trouble powerful n and stomp over their remains. Aria had warned him to be careful of her, and now he understood why.
Revet turned towards her with a disinterested look. ’Asmaroth... allow the man to finish what he was saying.’
She took a step back lacklusterly. "Ok, ok!"
’Are the "they" you are referring to the Nuxeon cult?’
"Yes! Those bastards with bony masks. Please spare ," Avani continued to grovel at his feet.
So their reach had spread this far.
’You chose to attack my domain because you had a grudge—that I get. But how did the likes of you co across them?’
He raised his head shakily. "They usually waited around strategic locations outside of the neutral zones. For so reason, they couldn’t enter inside. That’s how I ca across them. They promised a spot in the top 500 if I successfully captured the souls of 2 summoners using this."
He brought out an eerie-looking wooden box. Duran’s eyes widened slightly. "That’s a forbidden artifact: a Soul Catcher. But it looks like this one is of a smaller capacity."
They were gathering souls. This aligned with what Nirvana had said earlier. It had to be for the grand summoning ritual.
’Did they ntion anything else?’
"They didn’t tell much apart from the fact that when I collected the 2 souls, they would find at my domain. Also, the crystal they gave could dampen spirit energy for a limited amount of ti."
That ant the artifact likely had so kind of signal to notify them when it was full so they could retrieve it. A spirit energy dampener could be extrely dangerous in the wrong situation. He didn’t seem like a threat, but to be safe, Revet decided to take control.
’Subordination.’
[Avani has successfully transferred all his summoner rights, domain, artifacts, and catalysts to you]
Afterwards, Avani returned to his domain, crying his eyes out—or rather, Revet’s vassal domain. Revet called a eting with the SPS to discuss his latest findings.
"Revet-sama, it seed you had a visitor," Fubuki said calmly.
Revet looked at the monitor, and it turned out to be Nirvana.
The surveillance unit let her in, and they t at the balcony.
’What’s with the sudden visit?’
She took a seat, her face more serious than usual. "I just got feedback from the infiltration unit I sent to the Nuxeon headquarters. They told the cult would be carrying out the grand summoning ritual in Four... Months," she said coldly.
’Four... Months? This wasn’t good. We needed to make preparations to stop that ritual.’
She went on to explain other concerning developnts. She also inford him that another mass recruitnt would be held in a day’s ti. The intel unit planned to take advantage of that to regroup with her summons at their headquarters. Since it was a mirror dinsion, they would need a thod to breach the mystic-grade barrier.
’My intel squadron will join up with your infiltration unit, if that’s not a problem.’
"Of course. That’s going to make the breaching operation easier," she replied.
’If you don’t mind, I thought we should be holding daily strategic etings and training sessions.’
"That won’t be a problem. But wouldn’t it be better if we established a combined base of operations? And since the rankings were now based on points, we also needed to make ti to clear conquest taverns," she said boldly.
’I just took over my neighboring domain. We can use it as our base of operations.’
"As expected of Revet-dono, you had this all well thought out." A smile played across her face. "I’ll inform my summons about this!" She stood up calmly. "See you tomorrow."
’Bye, Nirvana.’
Revet waved at her as a portal appeared behind her.
After the eting, he inford the intel squadron about their next mission.
"Hihihihi, a high-stakes infiltration mission. Vampika likes," she said, blushing imnsely.
"If it’s to stop corruption and evil, I’m all in," Hina said calmly.
"Whatever, let’s get this over with," Uriel said sleepily.
The next day arrived quickly, and they departed for their mission.
"Intel Squadron comncing infiltration mission," they all said in harmony.
Nirvana arrived afterwards along with Beta, Gamma, and two unfamiliar males.
"Revet-dono," she called, waving at him.
"This is Zux." She pointed to the male with pointy eyes wearing formal clothing.
"It’s a pleasure to et you, sir," Zux said calmly, bowing slightly.
"This is Raymond." She pointed to the male who looked half-asleep, dressed casually.
"Nice to et you," Raymond said sleepily.
"They will be participating in the strategic training exercise," Nirvana stated boldly.
’Allow to introduce to you: Aria.’
"Hello," Aria said sweetly.
’Duran.’
"I believe we have t," he said abruptly.
’Fal.’
"A pleasure to et you, Lady Nirvana," he bowed slightly.
’And Lamina.’
"It’s a pleasure to et such outstanding warriors," she said formally, interlocking her hands together on her thighs as she bent her head slightly.
After the introductions were done, they proceeded to the training center.
"Revet-dono... this place is quite spacious, and I see you reinforced it thoroughly," Nirvana said, tapping the wall lightly.
Everyone settled into position.
It was ti for the first practice match.
’The first practice match would be Team R vs Team N.’
They all got into position.
’BEGIN!’
