Chapter 601 Eternal Kingdom Movement
"But, I just hope you are not involved with them too much." added Aunt Extalia.
"Nahh… I don't plan to rob them." replied Angus casually.
Both Angus and Aunt Extalia looked at each other in silence. The Duchess knows Angus may not rob them like the Temple of Death. But he could still hit them.
She may not know the young man's entire fortune. But Aunt Extalia knows it should be enough to at least hire hidden forces to give a blow to Karum or Zion religious groups. Moreover, she recognizes his vengeful nature when it comes to Jayna and Anna.
Whenever it relates to Jayna or Anna, he becomes a terrifying person. She knows Angus will do something reckless again to get revenge on Zion and Karum religious groups.
While Angus and Duchess Amberblaze chat with each other, the whole Firuman turns into chaos. Since the news about the Blirin religious group getting destroyed by the Eternal Kingdom spread, the other religious group decided to strengthen their stronghold.
Unlike Blirin, who lost all their main combatant, the other religious group is still strong. It has many sixth-grade combatants, even Champions of God.
Unfortunately, they couldn't retaliate against the Eternal Kingdom since all of their saints got God's revelation to not be involved in this matter. Most are only instructed to watch and investigate.
Since the destruction of the Holy Alliance nation by the new monster overlord incident, the religious group has had significant setbacks for the past few years.
For others, Holy Alliance is just a place where all the religious groups gather, similar to Roundel City in the elf territory. For the religious group, the Holy Alliance nation is a sacred place where divine power is accumulated.
In this land, any divine-related power will be multiplied by many times. All the religious groups could also cultivate divine power more efficiently. In short, it is like a training ground for the divine power user.
After losing this place, all the religious group's strength and power slowly decline. Moreover, it takes a lot of time and resources to build the whole Holy Alliance again.
Unfortunately, the rebuilding process is also not smooth since many greedy kingdoms and nations are ready to claim the previous Holy Alliance's land. It takes a lot of lengthy negotiation and money to appease these kingdoms.
Furthermore, there are mysterious groups that somehow keep destroying all the bases of religious groups all over the world. The worst thing is this group's attack is very random.
The mysterious group also always attacks whenever the religious group tries something essential to increase their power or influence. The only clue they know about this mysterious group is that they have a green phoenix as their member.
The current religious groups are at their weakest with these setbacks and a series of unfortunate incidents.
Forget about attacking the Eternal Kingdom and avenging the Blirin group. They could hardly defend themself if the Eternal Kingdom launched a similar attack on them. Still, their fear came sooner than they expected.
Few days after the attack from the Eternal Kingdom to Blirin, Zion and Karum religious groups get attacked by vampires all over the world. Some essential and main bases are entirely destroyed, with almost no survivors.
Fortunately, the Karum religion has also penetrated deep into many kingdoms and has millions of followers. Although they lost their main base, they could still build it elsewhere anytime. In contrast, the Zion group could only swallow and try to lay low.
Still, the Eternal kingdom continued and spread their attack to all the kingdoms heavily influenced by Karum. This led to war between Karum and the Eternal Kingdom spread to other kingdoms.
During this time, a few names were also heard and became famous such as The Thousand Army Darren Redknight and The Impaler Vlad Dracule. No one expected the Eternal Kingdom would be led by two strong seventh-grade vampires.
The vampire race is already almost categorized as a superior race. If it is not because of their various weaknesses, they will become one of the top races in Firuman. In fact, their combat capability is even stronger than some of the superior races during the night.
It is said that a group of five half-bloods could destroy a small kingdom in a single night. Unless they have a seventh grade as their leader, small kingdoms have a low chance of defending against them.
Meanwhile, King Leon and his army continue his purge through the Udrary land. Although he didn't plan to conquer and rule the Udrary kingdom, he still needed to end any possibility of an attack in the future.
He also declared loudly to all the kingdoms nearby Udrary that he would not occupy the Udrary territory. He promised he would leave the land after a week. This news makes all the greedy kingdoms gather their troops to claim this leaderless kingdom.
The Udrary kingdom is famous for its beast's natural habitat. Their land is also very fertile and contains various kinds of mineral deposits. The only reason why Udrary rarely gets invaded is because of its alliance with the Nergal or the Heart Kingdom before.
Currently, King Leon is walking in the middle of heavy rain in the middle of the forest inside the Udrary Kingdom. Despite the heavy rain, his body is completely dry, as if the rainwater avoids him. On his hand, there is a gold medallion with many strange runic on its edge.
Glancing at the rune, he walked in another direction with his usual stoic expression. Suddenly, the heavy rain disappears as he arrives at the vast clearing area. In the middle of the clearing, two small girls are looking at him.
The two girls look like dolls with never-changing smiles. They have the same faces and body features as a twin. They have black hair and hollow pitch-black eyes that seem to see everything. Ordinary people will feel uncomfortable being stared at by the two girls.
Despite their creepiness, their clothes are elegant and look expensive. If Angus sees their clothes, he will immediately recognize them since it is similar to Japanese women's traditional clothes, Kimono.
Seeing the twin little girls, King Leon couldn't help but remember a little monster that was spoiled by Jayna.
"Welcome to Starry Grove, Leon Heart, Son of Alaster Heart." said the twin girls simultaneously.
The twin girl's voice is very childish but also carries an eerie tone.
'Tch… Even their vibe is the same as that little monster. Whatever, let's get this done.' thought King Leon inwardly.
"I seek the audience with the twelve Star." replied King Leon.
"To meet the Twelve Star, you must give a payment." said the Twin girls simultaneously.
King Leon didn't say anything and just showed the gold medallion to the Twin Girls. The girls look surprised at the gold medal but still have the same smiling expression.
"Will this be enough?" asked King Leon as the two girls didn't say anything.
"Yes. The Twelve Medallion is enough to grant the audience of Twelve Star." said the girls excitedly.
"But, you still need to pay." added the girls.
"For what?" asked King Leon confusedly.
"Payment for our service." replied the girls.
"What kind of payment did you need?" asked King Leon with a frown.
The twin girls didn't reply and looked at each other before releasing a childish laugh.
"Play with us." said the twin girls.
Suddenly, the two girls disappear and touch King Leon's back.
"You are it." said the twin girls with a chuckle.
Before King Leon could catch the girls, they escaped toward the nearby forest. King Leon was annoyed at this childish act and decided to end the game immediately. He uses [Blink] near one of the girls. Before he could catch her, he suddenly slipped on the ground and fell. 𝒷𝓮𝓭𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
He could only see the girls escape with childish laughter into the forest. He didn't pursue the girl but silently looked at the forest and the surrounding area.
"Fate? No… It is more like luck. Tch… This is going to be a long day." said King Leon before pursuing the twin girls into the forest.
After a few hours of pursuit, King Leon is riddled with dirt, shit, and dirty water all over his body. Even his shiny blonde hair turns dark brown from the soil. Strangely, there is no trace of anger on his face. He still wears the same cold, stoic face while pursuing the girl.
During the past few hours, he understood a little about the power of twin girls who miraculously avoid being caught. Every time he almost catches the girl, he gets in a series of accidents.
From slipping the wet ground, getting by falling branches, to suddenly entering a newly formed quicksand. Not to mention all the shit thrown at his face by the nearby group of Gunk Baboon.
Despite the humiliation and dirty appearance, King Leon pursued the twin girls without even anger or massacred the Gunk Baboon.
"Hmm… Their power is similar but different. One is more deadly, while the other is more like a childish prank. It is like Fortune and Misfortune, huh?" muttered King Leon after escaping from the hole full of venomous beast snakes.
After figuring out the twin girls' abilities, King Leon pursues them again with a more careful approach. As a seventh grade, he knows the terrifying danger of the power related to luck.
