Chapter 841 The Battle that Shook the Universe
"The Immortal?!" Drayce's eyes widened as he stared at Eigol.
"Wait a second, you're telling me that battle that you claim sent the entire Universe in shambles was one you joined because of him?!"
"Correct, my lord and Lord Raziel were friends, he wouldn't stand by and watch idly, nor did some of his other friends, each one of them a being of immense power that was known throughout the Universe, and yet, today, no mention of them, nor the enemies that Lord Raziel fought against can be found anywhere."
"Too suspicious, the entire thing is too suspicious."
"Had it not been for the fact that Lord Raziel is still alive, and the fact the system is still present, then I would have thought we lost for sure or won, but it seems in the end, neither side truly lost or won that great battle."
"What … what does the system have to do with that?" Drayce's hand slightly shook as he already anticipated the answer.
"Because the main enemy that Lord Raziel was fighting and wished to destroy was none other than the system itself."
Drayce gulped as his cup fell down.
"Why the hell did you tell me that, fucking hell, I'm done for, the system won't let me go, I actually signed a contract with a lunatic that tried to go against the system, holy hell, I'm finished!" Drayce suddenly started shouting as he grabbed his head and theatrically danced around the office, causing Eigol's face to darken in anger.
"But wait, why are you still alive then, why hasn't the system already smitten you, or set you aflame or something, I mean, you just told me you tried to kill it in the past, why the hell is it not doing anything?"
"No idea, it seems that the system tolerates my existence, at least for now, but I don't know why."
"If I had to guess though, then I think Lord Raziel is the reason, there is definitely something up, the system should have tried to kill me the moment it sensed me, and yet it hadn't done so."
Eigol shook his head before sighing, "Not to mention that it is more powerful than it was in the past, after all, there were still people in the universe that remembered the days before the system existed, as well as ****************"
"Hmm?"
"*********"
"It seems it will automatically filter my words out, *****, what about ***** and the *****, the son of ********."
"I see, it won't allow anyone to speak of that, that might be the reason you can't find any information, as I thought, finding Lord Raziel and speaking to him might be the only way for me to learn anything."
"The system is definitely more powerful than ever, but so is Lord Raziel, many years have passed and when it comes to the quality of overall strength of the Universe, it's higher, that much is for certain."
"The main difference is the lack of technology and the ban that the system has implemented, but other than that, everything seems fine."
"No use trying to think too much about it, Raziel will fill me in on the details when I finally get to him."
"I'll just need to regain my previous power and I'll be able to find him, well, he will probably find me first, that man has always had the knack for such things."
"Just how close were you with the Immortal in the past?" Drayce asked with interest as Eigol smirked.
"Not very close at all, hell, I and my brethren didn't like him at all at first, my lord was afraid of him, well, everybody was afraid of him back then, and that still continues in this era as well from what I gather."
"Of course it does, he is one of the rare beings that is staying neutral in this huge war between the Alliance and the Dark Ones, there aren't that many beings that can afford to stay neutral you know, not to mention that if he did pick a side, that one would definitely win the war," Drayce said as he took a deep breath.
"He is simply too powerful, that is something my teacher told me, even the power I have gained slightly trembles when I mention his very name."
"Well of course it does, don't forget that that man can control both darkness and light, and I mean any kind of darkness and light, the holy light you wield, although unique and very powerful, is still light, and if he wished to, he could take control over the source, he just finds that beneath him."
"Beneath him?"
"Of course, he will only rely on his own power, nothing else is worth his time, no other power source, no weapon that was not made with his involvement, nothing."
"My lord once did something that ticked him off a bit, and for revenge, he gifted him a powerful suit of armor about a decade later."
"The armor was amazing, it was incredibly durable and powerful and was able to even boost my lord's power a bit, but it had one downside, and that was that light was used during its creation, so it would always hurt my lord when he wore it, but it wouldn't injure him, merely give him some pain."
"And it wasn't even strong pain, you know, it was the weak one, the one that does nothing to you, and yet is constantly there, driving you insane!"
"I see," Drayce said as he stared at Eigol like he was a crazy person.
"Alright, I'm out, I might need to get a bit closer to that Reign fella, he is a Nephilim and seems to be looked after by the Immortal, after all, he did put a claim on this planet, and I doubt there's any other reason but to make sure that guy is safe." Eigol disappeared as a mist of blood was left in the office.
As for Drayce, he sat down and took a deep breath.
'Dammit, just what am I getting myself into with this guy?'
The days in Doncaster passed quite normally after everything with the red elves was finished.
The first thing that was completely gone for them were the bones that stuck out of their bodies. The bones were completely gone slightly over 24 hours after the procedure was finished.
Next were the tattoos that were gone about 38 hours after the procedure and the redness was completely gone in 48 hours. Of course, all of it slowly but surely receded over time and after the first day was finished, the elves could easily walk around without being conspicuous.
They had to get used to their new home, however.
They didn't remember how they got captured by the monster, but they did remember that they were inside their own territory. They had a small village somewhere, but they couldn't remember where.
They didn't all come from the same place, however, and upon talking to them all, they were able to figure out that there were four villages in total.
Unfortunately, when putting into account the number of elves the Umraeth had used during the battle, it became obvious that that one village didn't have as many people, but four might have had enough, which made Reign and the others believe that the monster had taken all the elves from the four villages before creating its own territory.
If that was true, then that meant that their homes were gone, as were most of those they knew.
It was a difficult pill to swallow, but at least with the ones that Reign had successfully saved, there were a total of 80 of them present.
Many of them knew each other, and at least they could console one another for what happened.
They wouldn't be able in this new place they found themselves and the elves of Doncaster were more than willing to take them all in. After all, elves would feel much more comfortable being amongst their own and living in nature instead of the city made out of concrete, bricks, and steel.
The huge golden tree also made them feel at ease, and in the course of a week, they had already adapted quite well.
As for Reign and the others, they had continued hunting in the jungle, as did Elijah and the rest of his team.
During that time, they got one more Tier V combatant, and slowly but surely, the more talented people of Doncaster and Wilkashere were showing themselves.
Wilkashere now had 10 Tier V combatants, and Reign and the others decided that they should hunt together in the jungle. Even though the two territories had already gotten used to one another and mingled together, mostly thanks to the fact Doncaster had many smiths and craftsmen, they were still not quite used to one another.
The trading with Ishmail's territory was going fine and right now, his men were given access to the entire base on the first mountain. Slowly but surely, things were looking up and it wouldn't take long for Reign and the others to become powerful enough to go to the desert and do some quick leveling there.
