Chapter 279: Unveiling in parts
"How nice of you to finally summon me after three long years of making a contract with me...but what insolence, you want me to pull a sword?!" Sorush the tall Celestial said to Braschiold who could hear clearly from where he was.
Sorush grabbed the sword that was already blowing away trees.
Nakamura and the rest looked up to see a tall unhuman looking figure that was cladded in shining white garment and gold.
"What in the world is that?" Mustang said as he looked at it.
"Seeing as the Celestial grabbed the sword, Penguin knew things were going to spiral out of control as someone seemed to have intervened. So he took the opportunity to run, the twin ninja cornered trying to block him from running or at least slow him down for the others to be able to catch him, but his hands was fast than even their feet as crushed both their faces with his punch and ran off into the forest. Immediately all of them ran after him, except from Henry who stayed with Jeanne as she was injured.
The celestial spinnned the sword continuously and flung it towards the sky, the sword flew away straight outside the the sky.
"Wow" Terry was amazed.
"You saved the city Sir Braschiold" Admon said joyously.
"Well, it’s a good thing we were around" Braschiold said.
He was about to cancel the summon but he suddenly stopped.
Terry jumped to his feet from where he was sitting.
"Master is here?" He said.
Rein stared at the tome archon from above Theo.
"You are a tome archon..How are you here?" Rein asked.
"And what business do ye have with me?" Sorush responded.
"I want to know why a celestial is in my empire..." Rein said slowly pulling out the moon sword that glowed brightly under the moon that sat in the sky of the midnight.
"I summoned him master!" Braschiold said while coming on a Griffin.
"Braschiold?" Rein was puzzled. "Aren’t you supposed to be in your territory?"
"Yes your grace but I am considering building a Summoners tower, so I need a comprehensive and concrete structure, which is why I am borrowing the knowledge of Lord Terry who once been in the position to order creation of structures and see it through"
"Right Terry was a king, that was why I made him the governor of this place hoping that he can still feel like it..." Rein belatedly looked around, it was not hard for him to see some people running deep in the bush as he looked down.
"I’ll take care of it" Kuthuya said and flew downwards.
Rein looked at Braschiold, "So it was you who summoned a tome archon..."
"Sorry a what?" Braschiold asked, as he was quite confused as the name, "if you are talking about my summon, his name is Sorush the punisher he’s a celestial" Braschiold said.
’He doesn’t seem to know about Tome archons...if he summoned a tome archon then that means what all Summoners do is temporarily bring other worldly beings into our world...is it dangerous or okay...?’ Rein thought to himself.
"Your grace, there is nothing to be worried about I can assure you, this is the second time I’m using him and I don’t plan to use him again" Braschiold said, the celestial expressed a gesture of dissatisfaction.
"When was the fast?" Rein asked.
"When we fought with Hagar, in the academy, thay was when I first entered contract with him plus he is very powerful"
Rein looked up at the tome archon, "Braschiold"
"Yes Master"
"This here is a tome archon...they are a Celestial race, they are quite powerful, the most powerful of all the archons and some of them can even measure up to the most powerful angels...you can consider them as otherworldly beings...is it possible that everyone you summon is from another world Braschiold...?"
Braschiold was lost in his thought for a short while, "...except spirits...I can’t say but if your grace is saying this tome archon is from another world, then I guess all the elementals I summon too are from other worlds..." he said.
Rein’s eye widened, ’This guy is no joke....’ he smiled, "You should come to the Palatium today, let’s talk more about this" he said, watching as the tome archon returned, while still seated on Theo.
He flew down to the end of the forest where Kuthuya had single handedly apprehended both the pursued and the pursuers.
"My lord, it seems they were after the envoy’s Knight guard" Kuthuya said, bowing.
Rein looked at all of them, as they were all on their knees their heads bowing to the ground.
"So where is the envoy?"
"We’ve apprehended him and he’s in the Platinum City as we speak, our goal was to bring him to you first thing tomorrow morning Your grace!" Mustang loudly replied.
Rein saw how tattered they are from fighting Penguin.
"I guess he must’ve been quite the strong man" he said.
"So which one of you all do I give the reward...?" Rein asked slowly.
"We are two guilds your grace but since my guild has the envoy and was the first to engage the Knight —"
"No!! Your grace!!!! Our guild was the first to engage!!"
Rein sighed, "who are the guild leaders?" He asked.
Mustang and Nakamura moved a bit front.
"You both should see me at the Palatium at daybreak" he said climed on the silver flying off. Kuthuya followed with Penguin in his hand.
The two guilds, fell on the floor as the Emperor left.
"Damn!! The Moon Emperor is no joke, that air tightened presence, it was as though my heart could stop any moment" Mustang said.
"My heart was beating fast, too fast...imagine fighting one on one with him" Nakamura said.
"Guildmaster I don’t think you would survive three seconds with him...it’s astonishing that the Emperor is also rumoured to be a player like us, how is he so powerful and no one knew about him." One of the twin ninjas said.
"Atleast one thing we are sure about is that he is someone under the blessings of Ariel like us and for some reason he also knew we were under the blessing of Ariel" Mustang said. "Well, I better be heading to Platinum and to the palatium first thing in the morning, with the envoy that I apprehended." He said as he left and was followed by Paul and Martin.
Nakamura sighed.
"What do we do now?" The same of the twin ninja that spoke earlier asked him.
"Now? We go find Henry and Jeanne, then get us some nice sleep" he said and marched back into the forest, "it’s been one hell of a night"
....
"Do you all know that I am the mastermind behind the White Lotus and I’m also the prime minister of Euphoria kingdom...how much were you offered?"
The two men who sat with Lewis in the carriage laughed but did not reply.
"Tchi, this is all because of that Penguin bastard, why the hell is he not here yet, since midnight" Lewis muttered to himself.
"Oh, you must be thinking about your guard, I’m sure he has been apprehended... by our guild master and been taken in by the Emperor himself"
Lewis giggled and said, "It’s not possible for the likes of you to be able to beat Penguin"
"Well who cares, all I know is that his ass is in the prison" the guy said, both of them laughing hard at Lewis.
The carriage stopped in front of the large, tall gate of the palatium.
"Oh, looks like we are here, you should be meeting your guard soon" one of the two guys said as they brought Lewis out of the carriage, with Patricia and Rita in front.
The four with Lewis, chained and his staff with Rita entered into the Palatium. They couldn’t help but admire 5he diverse waterfalls and activities of maidservant. A black haired kid running around suddenly stopped in front of them, so did a white hair kid and a owl.
"Why are you all here?" Azes asked them.
Patricia bent down and rubbed Azes cheek, "awww, look at you being all cheesy and all...I have kid a bit below your age, where’s your mother?"
Azes stared at her.
Immediately one if the maidservant ran towards them and quickly helped her away from Azes.
"Miss what do you think you are doing?" She said.
Two of the Paladins suddenly heard the ruckus and approached them.
"What is going on here?" The first paladin said.
"This lady... she was touching Master Azes! I know Master Azes is cute but how could you?!!" She yelled.
While Patricia was wondering what is the big deal with touching a kid.
"It’s fine it’s fine" Azes said, the Paladin bowed and left.
Patricia opened her mouth in realisation, ’is he perhaps the Moon Emperor’s son?!’ She thought, even though she had it all wrong.
Mustang entered into the Palatium just then, "You are here too?" He said, kissing Patricia on her cheek, he belatedly looked down and saw Azes.
’This, presence why does it seem a bit familiar ...to yesterday...’ he said in his head.
The head of the Maidservant who was Harley, she had grown taller and her body shapes had grown, it would make any man drool over her.
"Follow me" she said and turned.
Seeing her attire, they didn’t waste no more time and followed her.
