Chapter 389
"What!?"
Wrath angrily banged his fist on the table as he glared at Isadore . He was infuriated after he had been ordered to do something absurd .
Isadore, the Crown Prince, crossed his arms and stared back at the defiant Wrath while frowning .
"What’s with your response? I’m not having you accompany me so you can sleep around all day . "
Still enraged, Wrath retorted with a louder tone
"Don’t try to use your slick tongue with me! You want me to go and try to bring Makaze’s owner to you? Are you out of your mind?"
Unfazed by Wrath’s sudden outburst, Isadore smiled and replied:
"Out of my mind? Why? Because I want to befriend a powerful person? What if he is Makaze’s owner? He isn’t my enemy, nor is he yours . "
"Fuck! How is he not mine? You know how many of the Seven Sins are left? Three! Fucking Three are left and the rest were killed! That evil blade devoured Gluttony!"
Isadore’s smile suddenly vanished as he seriously stared at the middle-aged man before him and retorted
"All four sins brought it on themselves . Who told Gluttony to try and devour the Dark Blade . Who told Pride to piss of the Nameless Knight . Same thing for Lust, who tried to seduce the knight only to be hacked into pieces . And let’s not talk about Greed who foolishly tried to trick the Joker himself, talk about being stupid!"
After a short pause, the prince resumed:
"Each and every time, it is you guys who provoke the enemy . It’s not because you’re one of the Seven Deadly Sins that you can beat anyone . Anyway, if you’re not going to do as I say, you better leave this place . I certainly do not need incompetent people . "
Wrath clenched his teeth and pondered for a long time before bowing to the prince and saying
"I’ll do as you wish . "
He swiftly left the room, leaving a satisfied prince .
***
Arthur’s conversation with Krauk ended rather quickly . The two separated and each went his way, Arthur, still possessing the White Tiger, turned into a lightning bolt, madly flying toward the Imperial Capital .
His speed was inconceivable, the trip that would take a week on a fast Spirit Boat took Arthur only a bit less than a day to arrive .
When he was close to the capital, he dived into the ground and made his way toward the meeting place he arranged with Vyncent .
With his new sharpened senses and long-rang Sixth Sense, Arthur noticed a lot of new arrivals . He guessed that it had to do with the opening of the dragon’s realm, which can only be entered through a tropical forest far East of the capital .
Many cultivators hailing from powerful sects started appearing, however, Arthur never paid them any heed as they’re not a threat . What surprised him is a familiar and loathsome presence, there was a group of knights that clearly belonged to the Holy Dominion .
Each and every one of them is a God Monarch and they are from the Holy Order .
’They can track Dark Magic pretty well!’
Claud clicked his tongue in annoyance and warned Arthur . Fighting them will only cause more to show up . The only thing that the Holy Dominion doesn’t lack is numbers .
’To send so much God Monarchs after me . . . they’re overestimating me . ’-Arthur
’Quite the contrary, it’s because they know how powerful Dark Magic is . They’ll spare no effort to capture you, you better be careful, very careful . ’
This group of righteous knights of light are composed of 5 God Monarchs and 8 Sovereigns . The leader was an old man clad in a Holy armor . He looked kind and emitted an air of righteousness .
Arthur stored the tiger body and appeared in a small room in a remote inn . Initially, there were only two people in the room, both were nervous, especially the young man, who never stopped pacing around the room while biting his nails .
Lisa’s face was a bit pale after hearing the destruction of the Golden Earth Sect and thought that something might have happened to Arthur . Though she was thankful to Vyncent, who kept her safe during all these years, she still wanted to go back to Astria .
Her life changed for the worst ever since she was kidnapped . When Arthur appeared, she saw a ray of hope so she continuously wished for his return .
Just like a ghost, Arthur appeared in the room, frightening both the young man and the girl . Only when they saw Arthur’s appearance did they calm down .
"S-sir, is my sect truly destroyed?"
Vyncent showed a worried expression . Besides his sect, he has no true home or family members to go back to, which is why, despite the cruel ways his sects used, he chose to remain there .
"Yes, everyone was killed . "
Arthur’s words were like a bomb that fell on Vyncent, who fell on the rough bed as his face turned pale . He didn’t know what to do from now on .
As for Lisa, she became a bit excited as she politely bowed toward Arthur and expressing her thanks again and again .
It was apparent that the past arrogant and childish girl was no more, Lisa has matured and behaved like a person of her age . She no longer had that haughtiness and instead, behaved respectfully when Arthur was present .
Without further ado, Arthur waved his hand, opening a Spatial Tunnel that directly led to Astria . After one last bow, the ex-princess stepped into the portal disappearing from Arthur’s view and giving him a peace of mind .
Vyncent stared in front of him with hollow eyes, he seemed lost . In fact, he was no different than empty shell, a soulless body .
Arthur knew that even if he asked Vyncent to go to Astria, he wouldn’t go so he closed the tunnel and left this place . The enmity between them disappeared as Vyncent helped him protect Lisa . From now on, they are complete strangers, he owes the young man nothing .
Arthur’s next stop was the Mountain Ba Sword Sect . Although he didn’t high hopes for Jian Si, he still hoped for her to provide him with important information . Some one with her status would’ve found Lisa much sooner and he wouldn’t have needed to go all through the trouble of killing the flame snake .
Unlike last time, when he cautiously bypassed the sword formations protecting each mountain of Cold Sword’s sect, Arthur traveled inside the sect as if he was taking a relaxing stroll .
Such formations were nothing to him as he can be considered a formation master . The knowledge and skills he has about formations are unparalleled, in fact, he can obliterate God Monarchs without as much as lifting a finger . He just needs to create offensive formations that will do the job for him, which he will .
He had the knowledge, however, the materials to create such heavenly formations are rare and expensive . Though Zodiak’s treasury is vast and contains many things, it still didn’t have everything Arthur needed .
Surprisingly, Jian Si wasn’t alone this time . A female disciple was talking to her for about 20 minutes . Only when the female disciple left did Arthur show himself, startling the absent-minded Cold Sword .
