The world nearly appear to face nonetheless as soon as extra because the gazes of numerous celestial beings and extra had been aimed in a normal course.

Nonetheless, the sensation of being watched quickly handed as all of them did not peel via the layers of concealment from the Divine Class Artifact, the Hourglass of Chronos.The merchandise would mechanically transfer to guard its wielder from drawing the eye of the God of Time alongside every other get together able to transferring via stopped time.

This was one of many usefulness of artifacts with a residing property as they often did every little thing to make sure their continued use which is also thought-about one in every of their largest drawbacks.

“An attention-grabbing Artifact certainly. I ponder if Lord Ty can be joyful if I introduced this to him. I ought to name him once I’m accomplished right here.”

The second time had begun its stream as soon as once more, the delayed spells Rain had solid earlier had taken impact, she had used one of many results of the hourglass, Time Capsule to place Quantity 10 in a Temporal stasis.

She needs to be locked in a time period for someplace between 10-45 minutes. As for the Viscount balled up on the bottom, it appears he had already fainted and the ‘Maintain Individual’ spell she used had been pointless.

“Nicely no matter. he has outgrown his usefulness anyway. Oh proper, Zelda, are you accomplished?”

Simply as Rain contemplated her subsequent transfer, a shadowy determine got here down the hallway earlier than showing in entrance of her.

“I’ve searched via the mansions, there are not any magic objects or artifacts up there. As per your orders, I’ve retrieved something of worth throughout the property.”

“I see… I suppose it was an excessive amount of to hope a failing Viscount family has magic artifacts simply mendacity round, properly no matter. Simply take this factor up with you and destroy the property. We won’t depart anybody alive if we need to make an instance of this.”

“What’s mistaken!?”

Sensing the priority in Rain’s voice, Zelda’s demeanor instantly switched into battle-ready mode as she expanded her notion in anticipation of an assault.

“Oh, it is nothing, simply… The souls of these two have utterly disappeared.”

“Is that dangerous?”

“Not essentially. It is solely been a couple of minutes since they died, their souls ought to nonetheless be lingering round their demise place earlier than passing on however now they’re lacking. I had wished to seize the souls for Lord Ty’s experiment with reincarnation and the steel golems however I assume not. Somebody right here have to be taking part in with souls, I ponder if a brand new necromancer is being born, that is getting increasingly attention-grabbing by the second.”

“…”

Zelda tilted her head in confusion as she could not comply with Rain’s fast prepare of ideas utterly. Noticing this, Rain chuckled and replied.

“By no means thoughts me, simply pondering out loud. This isn’t of any instant significance. Let’s simply stick with the plan for now.”

With out saying a phrase, Zelda nodded and dragged Armin by his legs as she slowly headed again up the steps. A couple of minutes later can be the sudden disappearance of the Heartrail household’s property throughout the capital metropolis of the Jaxith household in a devastating explosion that may very well be seen and heard far and extensive.

—A couple of hours earlier.

After receiving the knowledge of the lacking emissary from the Royal Guards assigned to observe her actions, Bam was shortly issued an order from the fifth princess to help within the search and rescue of the emissary from the Darknar area.

Sadly, such slanderous information couldn’t be allowed to unfold and any slim hope the household had of receiving support from different ruling-class households can be squashed and the proud historic Jaxith household would slowly disappear from the world.

Sporting a darker variation of his armor lined with the extra light-weight but extremely extra sturdy Tritanium however made out of the much less dependable Platinum, Bam was tasked with main a separate search unit with Blane by his aspect.

The Royal Guards that had been assigned to guard the emissary declare to have misplaced her within the privately hosted ceremonial dinner by one of many Earls’ estates. They declare to have searched the complete neighborhood of the mansion however failed to select up any traces of her whereabouts, however provided that they’d failed to forestall this consequence within the first place, Bam did not suppose their phrases may very well be trusted.

Nonetheless, this example was almost definitely the work of one in every of their enemies. He was certain it was an try and hinder any type of an alliance between the Jaxith household and the Darknar household. Nonetheless, this will likely even be the work of the Darkish Order.

They had been the key group chargeable for the disappearance of many younger girls of low standing, apparently for ritualistic functions and the household was nonetheless within the midst of investigating that state of affairs. So what in the event that they had been now concentrating on girls of upper standings and mistakenly captured the emissary as an alternative of one of many demonesses’ in that get together?

That might be dangerous, would not it?

Bam thought however shortly shook his head as he did not need to consider such a company may very well be that silly. In any other case, what wouldn’t it say of the knights who had not been capable of eradicate the crime group from town, a lot much less the complete area?

As his ideas wander freely, they arrived at their vacation spot.

This was the mansion of the Viscount household, the Heartrail household. Shortly after the disappearance of the emissary was found, this mansion out of the blue disappeared in a number of flashes of brilliant lights and purple lightning that had been unaccompanied by thunder or a storm, so it couldn’t have been pure.

He hoped.

“Sir Bam, we have positioned the stays of the residents and have confirmed, there are not any survivors throughout the wreckage.”

The knight unit captain got here as much as Bam who at present ranked increased than him and made a report.

Bam’s coronary heart sank as he took within the vastness of the piles and piles of stones and dirt. He might solely think about simply how highly effective a spell have to be to trigger such devastation in its wake, and the way many individuals had died beneath such highly effective magic.

He had seen large-scale magic used on the battlefield earlier than and nonetheless couldn’t consider magic was able to such pure destruction.

“There isn’t any have to get stumped over such minute particulars. We nonetheless have a job to take action recover from it.”

These phrases got here from the Demon standing casually beside him, the one generally known as Blane. Bam wished to say one thing however could not discover the phrases to refute what he had stated and was compelled to stay silent.

Blane did not react to Bam’s hesitation as he merely turned his head to the Knight captain and requested.

“Have you ever discovered anything?”

“Sure sir! We discovered a secret entrance that appears to steer underground. In keeping with the submitted design for this property, there needs to be no unground chambers on this place so this might’ve solely been constructed after the mansion was already accomplished and pretty not too long ago.”

“Is that proper?”

Listening to the knight’s phrases, Bam and Blane adopted him to the doorway to the underground stairs that had not been lined by particles. It was as if this stairway was deliberately left this manner for them to search out.

“What can we do?”

Bam requested Blane nervously, somewhat rattled by the entire state of affairs. He didn’t need to make a mistake that would trigger any issues for his mistress so he had to ensure he wasn’t making any hasty choices.

“We got the mission of discovering the emissary and investigating the reason for all this. We won’t afford to attend right here and danger dropping any possibilities of conducting our mission by delaying right here.”

Bam might perceive what he meant however nonetheless felt uncomfortable about this.

“In addition to, the emissary could be at risk. It is our job to rescue her if attainable.”

“Proper.”

Bam nodded in understanding. Regardless of his earlier hesitation, he did not need to be the one chargeable for another person dropping their lives. If he might assist somebody by taking a slight danger, he would. So long as that danger didn’t endanger or bother his mistress in any approach.

After making some preparations, it was determined that solely a choose few would enterprise down the steps and the remainder of the knights would stay right here and safe the perimeter.

As their chosen workforce was about to enter the steps, they out of the blue heard the sounds of footsteps coming from the underside of the stairway and everybody was instantly on alert.

All of them stepped again from the doorway and ready their weapons. None of them had sensed any feeling of animosity coming from the particular person on their approach up however none of them would danger their lives on simply that.

The sounds slowly acquired nearer and nearer till lastly, the silhouette of a slender determine walked out of the staircase.

Their eyes naturally widened because the determine of the one they had been on the lookout for materialized earlier than their eyes. This was none aside from the emissary from the Darknar area.

“Hmm… and you might be?”

On condition that Radiance Metropolis was positioned on the peak of a mountain, throughout occasions like these when the clouds had been thick, it was pure for town to be lined in dense fog which was often simply the clouds within the decrease ambiance.

So naturally, visibility was lowered in occasions like these so Bam might barely make out the looks of the emissary but when there was one factor he might make sure of, it was that this was positively the emissary as her eyes carried the authority of a superior entity.

Not solely that, the second their eyes met, he felt the sudden urge to kneel as if the load of the world had been positioned on his shoulders.

He was starting to surprise why they’d been frightened about her within the first place.

Rain’s eyes alternated between the boy and the younger demon beside him. Her gaze carried little curiosity in them as she wasn’t even on the lookout for a solution to her query.

Nonetheless, seeing as she was about to stroll away, Bam hurriedly responded.

“I’m Bam, the fifth princess of the Jaxith Household’s private knight. We heard one thing had occurred to the emissary and instantly got here to research.”

Rain stopped in her tracks and glanced on the two of them as soon as extra earlier than responding.

“That woman huh? attention-grabbing. Inform your loved ones I’ll ship their maids and knights again to them with a report of what had transpired right here right now. Have somebody take me again to my residence.”

Her tone was not commanding but none of them might utter a phrase to refute. They might not even ask any questions on what had occurred to her and instantly ready a carriage to take her again to her assigned mansion.

“We must always nonetheless examine what lies beneath these stairs.”

Blane’s phrases carried extra weight to them than they’d beforehand as Bam nodded in settlement. He might perceive what his tone was implying and so they did not actually have a selection within the matter.

“I agree.”
