"My liege, it could be an opportunity to get rid of them," Regina glanced at the masked man standing beside her, suggesting while tightening her grip on her sword, her eyes gazing far away into the open sky as both of them stood above the do of the huge mansion.
A breeze passed, fluttering the black raven hair of the masked man standing with a smile, sharp amber eyes looking in the sa direction as Regina's, with a soft tone added, "And we are going to do just that."
Regina's eyes slightly widened upon hearing those words from the man before they turned cold.
Not caring about any words of Drishti referring to so individual as special or not, the only thing that mattered was if her liege found soone repulsive, then there was no need for that person to exist.
She never took decisions rashly, always weighed the pros and cons, making her analyze the chances of winning this battle with the least amount of losses.
Even though she was one of the strongest commanders under the Devereaux family with a whole Legion far stronger than any Branch Families of any major families, being a veteran, her goal was to achieve results without losing a single life from her side.
The mont Drishti revealed about the man beside her cutting hands of an Abernathy and at that the rising prodigy who didn't beco a perfect Legendary ranker due to the absence of one hand.
Yes, it was known to all higher-ups about the Abernathy family searching for Artifacts, potions, and calling saintess from Sanctum to heal their heir, but it seed every saintess or saint failed except for Goddess Fela Religion one.
Each religion had a saint, but when it ca to healing, Goddess Fela's na remained at the top.
However, bad luck seed to accompany the heir, who was influenced by sothing that cut off mana or any energy from his wound, rendering him unhealable.
'I should have guessed it,' Regina had known about everyone who left Heindal or stayed there, all because it was a retirent place for Sword Valley's mbers.
It was a secret only known to disciples of Sword Valley, but everyone preferred to live a secluded life in Heindal.
From her surveillance, she was aware of Edward Abernathy being brought from Heindal, and even her liege belonging to the sa place.
Then his strange ability to nullify energy, added with the cut injury of Edward Abernathy's hand where all energy got nullified and was not able to heal—all pieces were coming together in one place.
So, that cut injury beca a huge hurdle in the path of soone who could have broken the records of anyone previously, clearly evident of how much hatred that man would have for the cause of such a hurdle.
And, one day eventually Edward Abernathy would try to take revenge for his grudge, which could give ti for Regina to strategize a good plan until then, but...
There were also chances that in the future, the situation would beco different than this, and they would beco cornered due to so variable—which seed highly likely since Edward Abernathy was becoming stronger day by day.
In conclusion, this was the only opportunity to kill him with a better situation where things could easily be blad on the Demon Queen and her army.
"Regina, send four of our n to surround the continent and keep the demon army busy until we are done here," Ryuk commanded, already formulating the strategy which would at least leave a deep mark on the upcoming man.
Of course, he didn't plan to kill him, but sohow make him near a cripple.
After all, killing Edward was not possible due to plot armor always protecting him.
So, the best he could do is use his own plot armor to overwhelm him to the point of being nearly half dead.
"We will go, Liege," suddenly four black-cloaked figures materialized in a knelt position just near Ryuk and Regina, firmly stating in unison.
"Don't engage if the Demon Queen shows up," Ryuk ordered with narrowed gaze, detecting all of their power levels on Middle Perfect Legendary, making them few of the twenty mbers holding such strength.
"As you Command," one of the four figures replied before suddenly all of their bodies started to beco transparent and vanished without making a sound.
'They have arrived,' Ryuk glanced in all four directions, his vision instantly tearing through all the obstacles and detecting huge energy pillars ford in all four directions, proof of those n's arrival.
The re presence of such Rankers on the four corners had increased the mana density to such a height that it caused invisible energy tornadoes to form, showcasing the domain where they were present—a warning to any stronger being.
And with this, the first step of heaven's hunt was secured.
"Now, the only thing is Es," Ryuk said as he turned his eyes towards Regina.
"I don't think there is any need for us to care about her safety," Regina, understanding the aning behind the man's words, suggested, already aware of the strength the woman held from the first glance.
Even though that woman's strength was hidden under the facade of an illusion, Regina guessed Es was not stronger than a high Phase I warrior.
At least, this was the exterior observation from any veteran who would look at that woman.
But from Regina's perspective, Es would be the last person to be protected if so battle occurred.
Reasons—
First, Regina wasn't able to see the face of that woman, proving the strength of the ability that woman held.
Second, such calmness even after being surrounded by so many strong individuals: one can act, but surrounded by lions, even a professionally acting rabbit will show so sign of a racing heart or anxiety.
Third, Es was the granddaughter of Amrantha Tenebri, and from the conversation of Es, it was clear that they were very close: enough to keep all the major families in check before thinking of touching her.
Fourth, her Liege chose that woman as a life partner: it was impossible for him to choose a weak person like her as a partner and create an opening. Right?
All these four reasons were far more enough to prove the strength of Es.
"You are right." Thinking sothing, Ryuk nodded, glancing downwards as he noticed both Es and Drishti coming out of the mansion while being accompanied by twins and Valhale.
DING!
[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! ]
Suddenly, a notification sound reverberated inside the rift of the mind before a light twinkled like a star. After a minute, a sharp wind shockwave passed through the area.
SWOOOSH!
It instantly fluttered the raven-black hair of a young man, his eyes cold yet deep amber as he gazed into the distance, where a huge burning ship fell freely from a great height towards the endless ocean.
"This looks very nostalgic," a soft, womanly voice suddenly spoke from beside Ryuk, causing his eyes to turn towards a newly arrived figure of a woman wearing a black majestic dress, her eyes deep amber like the boy's yet sohow different.
"Indeed, doesn't it remind you of our first eting?" Ryuk smiled at the woman, who also turned towards him.
"Technically, you should say this to Regina," Drishti reciprocated his smile, already aware of everything both of these individuals planned to do with Edward Abernathy.
Did she care?
Nope.
Instead, wouldn't it be interesting to watch the fall of the new prodigy born into the Abernathy family, whose previous head was slightly shredded into pieces by mistake at her hands?
"No need, I had already received compensation from you, Lady Drishti," Regina understood the aning behind Drishti's words and directly mocked her, not letting this chance slip from her hand.
Hearing Regina's words, Drishti feigned ignorance, not giving her any attention, and continued, "Though, you know there is a ZENITH Ranker with them."
"It's fine, Lady Drishti. There will be no need for your presence there," Ryuk understood the aning of Drishti's clear ntion that she would not participate in this battle, and he would need to do everything by himself.
And naturally, Ryuk was not going to let her interfere either. Since, in the end, there couldn't be any better ti or chance for him to reach Perfect Early LEGENDARY.
"Though, I will handle Morana," Drishti added, looking ahead with more life assurance in a calm tone, not looking at the man beside her.
"I see," Ryuk nodded, slightly relieved since there would be a hassle to deal with soone as strong as the Demon Queen after finishing with Edward.
He had confidence in his own strength but also believed that the Son of Heaven's plot armor would eventually protect him.
But the question remained, who is strong enough to stop him, Regina, and even a whole army of Legendary Rankers?
Of course, it's Demon Queen Morona, who is at ASCENDANCY Rank.
At least, this could be the possibility of plot armor Ryuk can think of.
"So, Regina, I want—?!" Suddenly, Ryuk's eyes shot towards the direction of the ship blast, a cry clearly audible due to his super enhanced hearing senses.
"RYUK! YOU BASTARD!!!!! I WILL KILL YOU!"
'What have you done, System?' Ryuk inquired after hearing the screams of a familiar figure, clearly shouting and cursing him from a hundred miles away.
[ Just called his bloodline, Cucked Bloodline =_= ]
