Chapter 960 Syradil

"Mn?" Furrowing his brows, Edvimar looked up at the sky and frowned.

"What’s wrong?" I asked, glancing over in curiosity since Edvimar wasn’t one to randomly look up at the sky.

"Nothing. I just felt a spike of mana but it disappeared quickly." Edvimar shook his head.

"Is that so?"

Shrugging my shoulders, I glanced up at the sky as well before focusing on the camp. Edvimar had been setting up formations to keep us hidden for now since he mentioned that it might get a bit dangerous.

There have been a few fights breaking out nearby but we were lucky enough not to get drawn into it.

However, the most surprising thing is that we’ve been getting a faint signal that would fluctuate. If we could somehow stabilise this signal, we’ll be able to access the internet and get some information about what’s been happening around the world.

Feeling a tug on my shirt, I glanced back and saw Eric writing something in the air.

[Someone is coming here. They’ve locked onto us.] He warned with a serious expression as I glanced towards Edvimar who had already summoned a weapon as well as a suit of armour.

During this entire journey, I haven’t seen him get this serious before so I knew the situation was dire.

Bringing out my own weapon, I called Nitha to my side and surveyed the area.

"Come out, I know you’ve detected us." Edvimar called out as his right arm flickered with lighting. The faint silhouette of a magic circle appeared for a brief moment.

"I’d advise you to go a little further away from here. There’s an Empress roaming around this area and let’s just say she’s not too kind on travellers like you who have stumbled here." A voice rang out as we all turned towards the source and saw a young girl with black hair and emerald eyes.

She had a man escorting her towards us as their levels were hidden. Even if I used Inspect, I couldn’t see anything which meant that they had a disguise of sorts.

"What kind of Queen warns us about this kind of danger. Plus, if you wanted to warn us of this Empress couldn’t you have warned the other’s that had fallen to her hands?" Edvimar asked as he narrowed his eyes.

Glancing towards me, he signalled for us to retreat but the likelihood of us surviving was low. Especially if she was a Queen like what Edvimar had told us.

"I would have liked to warn them but they were a little... how do I put it... Selfish? Greedy? You get the idea. But you lot seem to be here for a different reason so I’m giving you a warning now. If you get caught by the Empress, you will all die to her hand. There is no exception unless you team up with another force. You might want to put more focus on your barrier, something half baked like this won’t do anything." The girl smiled.

Snapping her finger, the barrier that Edvimar had created started to disintegrate as parts of the barrier was replaced by strange runes which were unfamiliar to me.

"Who are you?" Edvimar asked as the girl thought for a moment.

"I’m Misu, the undead queen. Now that I’ve given you my name, why don’t you give me yours." Misu asked with a smile.

"Edvimar. Just an injured elf looking for his wife." Edvimar replied as Misu raised her eyebrow.

"You’re looking for your wife in this kind of area?"

"Mn."

"Well the only people here are Queens, Empresses or naïve people who think they can participate in this kind of battle. Good luck finding your wife I suppose. She’s either dead or a Queen. If she is indeed dead, I don’t mind bringing her back for you. But if I do, you need to remember that she’ll become an undead." Misu smiled as she turned around, preparing to leave.

"Ah, actually, if she is dead, there is one person here that can bring her back to life without any problems. A Queen going by the name of Shiro. If you do find her, just remember that she’s one of the nicer Queens out there."

Waving her hand, Misu’s body was engulfed by a green flame as the two of them disappeared.

Sitting down, Edvimar panted for a moment as he dismissed his weapon and armour.

"We’re lucky that the person who’s found us is friendly." He muttered while examining the barrier.

"Let’s turn back. Honestly, I think we need to go even further than this to be considered somewhat safe." Edvimar suggested.

"We can do that but first who’s your wife? Like Misu said, the only people here are Queens Empresses or Naïve people." Gordon asked curiously.

"My wife... Should be a Queen right now I believe. We’ve been separated for a while so I’m not sure about her current status. But from my latest information, she should be the Elven Queen." Edvimar replied as I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

"Elven Queen? She’s the Queen of elves?" I asked as he nodded.

"Mn."

"Then that makes you the king then?" Gordon widened his eyes.

"Yes but that’s in the past now. Though, being a king is not as glamorous as you think. It’s just responsibilities that others don’t want crowned with the title of king. It’s best to just stay as yourself." Edvimar smiled before standing up.

"Regardless, let’s move away from here since it’s a little too close to the centre of everything." He suggested.

Nodding our heads, we started to pack up when I noticed Nitha being a little unsettled.

"Are you ok?" I asked, patted her head.

She was looking towards the twin mountains with caution.

Turning towards me, she used her claws to write on the ground.

[Someone. Dangerous. Powerful. Body is fearful.]

It was simple words but I was surprised. I could tell that the writing was similar to Eric’s handwriting, so she had probably learnt it from him on the journey here.

However, my main concern was the fact that she felt fearful.

"Edvimar, you might want to see this." I called out.

Walking over, Edvimar frowned slightly before looking at Nitha.

"A monster’s senses are many times sharper than an average person’s. And even I can tell that Nitha’s a little unique compared to other monsters. If she’s sensing something wrong then we need to take it seriously. Leave the stuff that we don’t need. We’re evacuate-"

Before Edvimar could finish his sentence, we felt an overbearing aura descend the entire mountain range as a single woman stood in the air space just outside of the twin mountains, revealing her figure to everyone that’s watching.

Inspecting her, I immediately regretted it as I could feel her eyes lock onto my body.

[Syradil LVL 785 Celestial Dragon Empress]

###

A few moments ago...

A red haired woman sat on the top of a distant mountain overlooking the twin mountains and frowned.

"It’s taking a damn while for the relic to appear isn’t it?" She clicked her tongue as the woman besides her nodded her head.

"I believe the relic should be appearing in a few hours, your highness. Right now the entire area is filled with Queens and there has even been sightings of another Empress. We shouldn’t make ourselves a target right now." The woman bowed as Syradil narrowed her eyes.

"Those weaklings weren’t able to contest against me in the past, what makes you think they can now hm? Let’s eliminate a few of them before the relic appears then." Syradil grinned as she disappeared from her spot before the woman could even protest.

Appearing in front of the corrosion area, she cracked her neck before unleashing her aura.

Immediately feeling a few eyes lock onto her, she smirked.

"The rat’s have finally revealed themselves." She muttered.

Strangely, there was a human mixed in as she glanced towards their direction.

Seeing that it was just a small group of people with an elf and a monster, she lost interest. Their auras were pitifully weak and she could kill them with a sneeze.

However, among the eyes that looked at her, she sensed a few Queens that seemd a little haughty.

Raising a finger, she swiped down as the space in front of her was ripped in half.

Teleporting right in front of the source of gaze, she laughed seeing the shocked expression of the Queen who took a step back.

"Yo~! Why don’t you help me spark up a fight with the rest of them?" Syradil asked and reached out towards the Queen.

Gritting her teeth, the Queen slammed her hands together and formed a tier 6 magic circle. Metal erupted out of the ground as they pierced towards Syradil who didn’t flinch at all and took a step forward.

"If you’re going to even think about taking this relic, bring something better than just metal."

*CRACK!!!

Shrugging off the metal like they were tissues, she punched the Queen in the ribs as her hand pierced her body.

Grabbing hold of the Queen’s spine, Syradil slammed her into the ground and tore her in half.

Throwing the corpse into the sky, she watched as it transformed into a pile of scrap metal before reforming together.

"Tenacious one. But that’s fine, you can go revive yourself, I’ll go play with others."

Cracking her knuckles, Syradil teleported to the next Queen she sensed and entered combat.
