Chapter 994
"Not a problem. In fact, we have learned more about the angels thanks to you. I still need one thing from you though if it is okay." Adrian stated.
"What is it?" Gomory asked as she did not mind asking one question.
"Have you found traces of the Nephilim?" Adrian asked and Gomory suddenly became all serious.
"As expected, you already know that I am not an angel but a Fallen." Gomory stated to which Adrian smiled.
"Well, they did say that one of them is roaming around looking for the traces of Nephilim. Your soul also reflects that of the Fallen. Shining as bright as the sun without the assertiveness that the souls of angels have." Adrian stated as his Evil Eye is becoming more and more detailed the more that he used it.
"If you are asking me about the Nephilim then you must have also been tasked with finding the incarnation. I am still looking myself and was just sidetracked here as I sensed the aura of a devil. It is said that the reincarnated Nephilim will have the aura of both an angel and a devil. I do not know if that will be true, but I guess we will find out." Gomory stated.
"I see. Thank you for the information. I hope we find who that incarnation is." Adrian stated as a Shade suddenly manifested before them.
"Lord Equinox, I am sorry for disturbing your talks, but your companion has been trapped by the rival kingdom." The Shade stated as he panted.
"I guess this should be our farewell since you seem to have an urgent business to attend to." Gomory stated.
"But I did not even get a chance to talk to you yet." Cersei pouted as she has yet to invite Gomory to their guild. It seems that Gomory could feel this and immediately wanted to leave.
Gomory then unfurled her wings and flew away at great speed since she enhanced herself. She did not let Cersei talk to her as she knew that she would try to invite her to the Evergreen guild. She does not move well with others, and she wants to move at her own pace which a guild will not let her.
"Can you explain?" Awraka asked the Shade as they needed to know. The Shade that reported to them was the one accompanying Vayu for the talks. The fact that he was captured is really something that no one could have thought.
"We were able to sneak up to the king\'s quarters, but the king of that kingdom is actually just a puppet. The one pulling the strings for that kingdom is actually the royal wizard. That wizard wanted to examine Master Vayu\'s body as he is a half elemental.
The royal wizard also wanted to capture me, but Master Vayu made sure that I will be able to get away. The royal wizard seems to be very good at using barrier magic which is why it proved difficult for Master Vayu to escape despite being a wind elemental." The Shade stated which made everyone get shocked.
"You are not seriously going against a kingdom?" Cersei asked as no one would be foolish enough to do that.
"What is the greatest power in that kingdom?" Adrian asked.
"From our investigations, the kingdom that trapped Master Vayu is famed for their magic corps. It is likely due to the fact that it is the royal wizard running the kingdom which is why that is the case." Awraka reported.
"We also have not heard about my sister for quite some time. We should also send a team to get her." Adrian muttered as he thought of the things that he needed to do.
"I think me, and the little boy will go to your sister. You should take the cute princess to her father and rescue him." Lycan suggested.
"This time it is the princess that will rescue the king!" Soleil stated as she knew that her father is in danger. She wanted to be like the Warrior Princess that she watched on television that saves those she loves from danger.
"Are you guys for real?" Cersei asked as she did not know whether she should indulge them or smack them to the real world. Going against a kingdom is no easy feat.
"Well, you have already done our request so we shall not bother you with this one. We thought that it was just the angels that wanted the war, but it seems that we were too optimistic." Adrian stated as he did not think that another factor could be a present.
"Hmm…I got nothing better to do and I feel that I did not help enough for the exchange. I should help you with this as well." Cersei stated as she concluded that she did not exert as much effort as she thought she will. She barely did anything against the fight with the angels as Gomory and Equinox were the one that killed them.
"Thank you in advance. Since we know that Vayu has been captured, me and Soleil with the assistance of Cersei will infiltrate the kingdom. Awraka please aid Lycan and Creepysoo instead as we have no news of my sister and the shade that accompanied her. They might need your ability more than us since he will already lead us to Vayu." Adrian instructed.
"Understood. I hope you luck in your journey." Awraka stated as their group headed towards the direction of the kingdom where Solstice headed.
"Let us go to the kingdom that abducted our samurai." Adrian stated.
"Papa is not a samurai though?" Soleil stated.
"Sorry about that. He has the discipline of one that shows up on the movies which I naturally compared him to." Adrian stated.
"I get it because mama sometimes says that as well." Soleil stated with a cheeky smile.
"How are we going to go there though? Daylight is already breaking through." Cersei stated and the Shade\'s abilities are severely restricted during the daytime.
"How are you with heights?" Adrian asked.
"I am fairly good with them." Cersei replied.
"Oh! That is great then. Tell me the coordinates of the castle." Adrian stated as he ordered the shade to tell him the coordinates of the kingdom\'s castle. The Shade then gave Adrian the complete coordinates of the castle and he generated a map using the Cube of Paradox. He then set that destination as the end point.
"Why did you ask if I were great with heights?" Cersei asked as she suddenly felt something wrong with that question.
"Because of this." Adrian replied as he activated Dimensional Teleportation. A portal suddenly appeared below them which all of them fell through. Cersei could be seen screaming but is not able to do as loud as she can because they are currently at the stratosphere.
Kanlaon then appeared as Adrian summoned him since the others could not fly. Kanlaon also made sure that the others will be able to breathe since they will have trouble breathing when they are descending. Adrian started to plan their approach when he saw that his companions are no longer panting heavily to get air to breathe.
"Do you always go like this?" Cersei asked Soleil while she regained her normal breathing cycle.
"Sometimes when big brother has yet to be in that location. He said something about teleporting higher so that we do not get our bodies stuck on a terrain or something. I find it very fun though because it feels like a ride in the amusement parks. Do you not enjoy it?" Soleil asked but her cuteness made Cersei unable to admit that she always died of a heart attack.
"Maybe a little warning next time." Cersei stated.
"I did ask you if you were great with heights and you said yes." Adrian replied.
"Next time maybe be more descriptive of what type of height it will be." Cersei insisted as her elegant demeanor vanished since even her heart could not take that height.
"Maybe we should have asked big brother to teleport us there." Creepysoo stated as they might get there too late.
"Not going to happen. I do not like feeling of free falling from the atmosphere. We also do not have flying mounts that will soften our landing." Lycan replied as he remembered the sensation of falling from a great height that he did not expect.
