Armipotent

Chapter 246 - New Objective - Part 1

"He killed a Templar Knight," Rubia broke the silence. Yes, she was the Goddess of Harmony who had a chat with Tang Shaoyang.

She was sitting in the room of light, the same room where she had a chat with Tang Shaoyang. However, She was not alone, four people were here with her.

"We already know, we also saw that with our eyes. Stop repeating the unnecessary," an irritated male voice responded to Rubia. He was the annoying voice who spoke to Tang Shaoyang too.

He was Axel, God of Sun, that was how the people called him.

"Then speak! How did we suppose to take care of him? We got nothing of him because of your silly pride and petty trick!" The Goddess raised her voice, causing the man to turn toward him. The flaming short hair and his crimson eyes just like a blazing fire met with Rubia.

If it was someone else, Axel might intimidate them but Rubia was someone at his level. Resistance was what he would get from that, of course.

"Just send more Templar Knights, we still have six Templar Knights in Waskin City, and if it's necessary send more Templar Knights from the capital! What's the fuss!?" The hot-tempered God replied with a level higher pitch, he did not like it when someone blamed him.

"Haven't you seen it? He killed a Templar Knight easily, do you think the number can solve the issue?" Rubia retorted back, she was not going back down this time. Usually, she would just overlook Axel's big ego, but this time it was an issue related to their lives.

"Calm down you two," a soothing and melodious voice tried to meditate, but she earned a glare from Rubia, "Not again Lunea, you can't spoil him like this."

"I am not, Rubia. But this matter related to all of us, we need that man alive. Rather than blaming each other, shouldn't we discuss the matter to solve our issue, for now?" Lunea's visage was covered within a white pure hood and had a pure white loose robe, none of them had seen her face even once.

Rubia snorted but she did not continue the topic as what Lunea told her had the truth. It was not the time to blame this prideful Axel. She could save that for later.

Lunea let out a chuckle and voiced out her thought, "He said that he came to our world to complete a task, but we don't know what the task is and how long he will stay in our world, we have to make our move fast."

"Yes, thanks to a certain prideful prick, we can't get all but only superficial knowledge about the game instead," Rubia continued with her salty remark.

"You also don't know whether he will tell the truth or also trick us. Don't be too naive, Rubia!" Axel retorted back.

"But I am sure he saw your petty trick, don't you realize it? He was staring at our avatar for a long time before he chose the blessing. He could tell the trick within just a glance," Rubia stared back at Axel, "Didn't you see it by yourself what he did after he left the temple? He did not go to the Realm Tower but evacuate his people instead. He read all your tricks, and killed one of my followers after that!"

Axel could not refute Rubia this time. He also saw it by himself that the man read their trick and prepared for that. On top of that, they were not expecting the man would be that strong to dominate a Templar Knight.

"Alright, that's enough Rubia. You have to watch your manner as Goddess of Harmony," Lunea cut in before the conversation could go further into a heated argument, "I will send three Templar Knights to capture him, if three are not enough we can send the number 1, number 2, and number 3 together. That should be enough."

Besides Rubia, Axel, and Lunea, the other two Gods were unresponsive. Only after Lunea voiced her thought only then one of them spoke, "I agree to that, but we need more information of that man's power," his voice was deep and his tone was neutral.

"What he chooses for his blessing, Axel?" The man asked the crimson-haired God.

"He chose second class, but I don't know what class it was," Axel replied truthfully.

"It's second class… Then you should send your follower now, and I advise you to have number 3 to lead the number 4, number 5, and number 6 to capture the man for assurance. He escaped to Orin Forest of all places, we can't let that man level up his second class too fast or he will become too strong for your follower to capture. We need that man alive, not his dead body."

"Alright, leave that to me," Lunea nodded, "I will take care of the problem, for now, I will ask for your help if I encounter any problem. Just get your followers to stand by, in case my followers failed to capture the man."

After saying that, Lunea's figure vanished from the room. She was immediately going to finish her work before the unforeseen situation arose. Rubia followed after that, her figure also vanished from the room. The Luminous Church's Templar Knight belonged to the two goddesses, after all.

Orin Forest

Tang Shaoyang approached the group, he walked at a normal pace. In Liang Suyin's embrace, Delia was closing her eyes peacefully. He could even see a smile, yes, she died while smiling.

As for why he was sure the girl was no longer breathing, that was because of the sword that pierced her chest. The sword pierced through her chest, into her heart, and went through to the back.

'Even with the power I have now, I can't protect my woman. Pathetic!' He thought to himself as he squatted next to Liang Suyin. He reached the lifeless girl and carried her with him.

"Suyin, prepare your healing potion for Yingjie, he needs one." After saying that, they rushed back to the abandoned village.

Liang Suyin immediately looked for Gu Yingjie while Tang Shaoyang brought the lifeless girl to her father. The grief immediately struck the old man at the sight of her daughter's body.

"I am sorry," Tang Shaoyang bowed his head as he handed the body to the old man. After giving the body, he turned around to the outside. He did not say anything, walking toward the entrance of the village.

More than half of the villagers were dead, he saw their corpses were strewn all over the places on the way to exit. He saw Gu Yingjie was recovering from the injuries.

His destination was not checking the young man, but he was relieved his subordinate was saved in time. He walked outside the village, all the Royal Knights barely survived from the [Thunder Storm]. They were groaning in pain.

His goal was these knights, "Tie them up and heal the dying ones!" Arina, Fan Rui, and Cao Yuntai were following him outside the village, and he ordered them to gather the surviving knights. He had some plans for them.
