"You are finally here." Prince Alan stretched his hands in a welcoming gesture.
"The teleportation didn't favour me, I was transported a few thousand kilometers away from you guys." David nodded his head at the others and noticed one person was missing.
"Understandable. The telepoetation array is old and would definitely be erratic, but not really precise." Although the young master sounded as though he understood David's plight, no one knew of he truly believed David's words or not.
"We are still one person short." David stated.
The young master's expression didn't look too good. "Gwen's lifeblood decayed 20 minutes ago."
David's eyebrows knitted. "With her strength, killing her shouldn't be so easy. Added with the lifesaving treasures you gave us, escaping with her life shouldn't be much of a problem."
While the life saving treasure given to them was of a low level, activating the Earth-shrinking treasure would let one escape from most trouble . Unless the opponent was in the Atman Stage, escaping shouldn't be a problem which was why David was confused as how Gwen would have died just like that.
"Perhaps, you could shed more light into the matter seeing as you are just arriving without so much as a scratch on you." The blond male with violet eyes spoke once more.
"What do you mean by that Rutherford? Are you accusing me of something?" David indifferently glanced at the blonde male.
"I said no such thing. I'm only asking if you probably saw something while on your way here." Rutherford shrugged.
"Hehe. If you want to accuse me, accuse me directly. Don't best around the bush, that's the way of cowards." David sneered coldly.
"Alright. Enough to you two. We all knew the risks coming here. Gwen understood that too. Rewards would be sent directly to her family. But we should all be careful and watch each others back."
The young master intervened, finally calming the tense atmosphere down a notch.
David showed the witness of his eyes. Just one punch, he would have turned the blondie red-haired. Then he wouldn't have to endure his sarcastic remarks any longer.
"Do you know what this is?" David asked, still in awe of the huge luxurious Palace before him.
"This is called the Mythic Gods Cell. It's said to be a huge mansion mainly forged by numerous gods to imprison higher existence to strong to kill or left in the outside world." The person who explained was the other female within the group, Anitha.
David was taken aback. He had thought this place was a huge mansion, but it was actually the opposite of what he had thought. The place turned out to be a prison.
But David's brows furrowed. "If this place is a prison meant to contain higher existences, shouldn't we be moving away from it? Why does it seem everyone is waiting to get in."
"That's because we are. Once more people arrive, it will be easier to break through the prison gate we work together." The young master answered.
David chuckled slightly. "You're kidding right?" he suddenly seem to notice that they weren't joking in the slightest.
With a solemn expression David turned to the young master. "I don't know if you know this, but higher existences are those marked and acknowledged by the world's Will to become a whole new existence they willed. You can possibly think we would be a match for them right."
"I'm impressed by your knowledge, but relax David. Those within the Mythic God Cell are all dead. They killed one another during the Uprising, which is why this place is called the Ancient Battleground. This is the main reason we are here, this is what we came here for."
"Even if most of them managed to live through the battle, this place has been sximates to be around hundreds of thousands of years old. Even a Demigod could barely live that long without resources." The young master explained carefully.
David nodded and relaxed slightly as he heard this, but he wasn't stupid enough to belive everything the young master had said. There must have somethings he had left out from the information he had given.
A soft snort sounded. It was Rutherford, he seemes to be making fun of David's ignorance.
David squinted his eyes and inhaled softly. In his mind, a peculiar smell lingered, it was as though he could taste and touch the smell. The smell was from Rutherford, David had marked him.
Now no matter where he was, tracking Rutherford wouldn't be much of a problem. David felt if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
A Large tree acted as a shade, protecting them from the sun as the branchs and leaves aways gently to the wind.
Very soon, David spotted Five families had gathered at this particular location. He was also able to spot the amazons.
"Impressive." He didn't think they would all make it through the zombie horde with a complete team at that.
What was strange though was the fact that non of the three most powerful of the Nine families were here. The third most powerful, the Lycan family. The second most powerful family, the Redraco Family and the family at the top of the food chain, The Hunters.
While there were still dispute about the third and the other six families about the position, the second and first position remained unshakable due to their immense strength, wealth and influence.
David watched as the young master headed towards them from the meeting he had with the other families about how to break through the gates.
"Get ready."
It was finally time. David inhaled, slightly nervous. This might be the place his master had been trapped and this was also the place he would get Atman Stage corpses and if he was lucky, he might get his hands on Demigod corpses.
Their blood would be on an entirely different level! With the vast amount of earthly essense free to steal, together with Atman stages blood, practicing the Ancient-strengthening Technique to the highest level might actually be possible in this lifetime.
