Territory of the Beast Empire…
The Shelter Priest…
3 years was a sizeable amount of time when a galactic war between races raged. During this time, the Beast Coalition was able to deal a lot of damage to the Nak and Ackermann States, destabilizing their economy.
Despite their exploits on the battlefront, all of these in the Beast King's eyes paled in comparison to their greatest feat of all, the Beast Empire.
After years of planning it, the Beast Empire finally had a permanent territory.
It was part of the previously unexplored territory outside the territories of the Nak and Ackermann States.
Alone, the beasts did not have the means to colonize such a large territory to become their own without alerting their nearby hostile powers but they had support, the support that pushed them into a lot of their decisions.
The Beast King's clever decisions despite the external pressure made it possible for the Beast Coalition to continue thriving despite the sometimes-above-board orders from their hidden backer.
Today though, there was a sudden call from their hidden backer.
Ring! Ring!
In seconds, the 5 Upper Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition were gathered alongside the Beast King like they were expecting it as they got set to take the call.
Beep!
A blurry virtual projection of a shapeless and emotionless existence shrouded in shadows appeared before them the next moment.
"…" Silence reigned for 5 seconds after this existence appeared.
"Good job on what you have been doing for the past 3 years, the master is pleased".
"Thank you for the compliment". The Beast King, the Demonic Lion nodded.
"My reason for coming today is because our spies detected a juicy piece of news, I want to confirm if it is correct".
"Call your spy". The existence demanded.
"…" All the Upper Beast Priests fidgeted uneasily on hearing this demand.
The Demonic Lion took a deep breath. "The Espionage Priest is one of the most important Beast Priests aiding the cause of the Beast Coalition".
"It was with his vital help that we have been able to come this far".
"I can confirm to you that the news your spies got is correct but I'm sorry, the Espionage Priest already risked his life to confirm it to us once already, I can't afford risking him being caught just to confirm it a 2nd time".
A golden glow appeared in the middle of this black existence the next moment, they separated into 2 glows that seemed to represent eyes.
The golden eyes formed a sharp contrast with its black existence.
The next moment, these golden eyes narrowed as they glared at the Demonic Priest. "You're getting something wrong here".
"The master did not ask…, he's ordering you".
BZZZZ!
An aura was instantly released by this black existence and despite the fact that this was a long-distance communication, this aura felt thick and oppressive even to the Calamity Grade Supers that were present here.
The Beast King gritted his teeth under the oppression of this aura, he dared not resist it as he bowed his head in submission before whispering something.
The next moment, a virtual projection appeared in this hidden chamber.
He did not appear as Admiral Nathan, instead he appeared as the Shapeshifting Reptile, the Espionage Priest.
The Beast King was able to achieve all that he did with the Beast Coalition only due to their backing but even he did not trust them, he dared not afford risking the spy identity of one of the most important Beast Priests under his cause.
The black existence did not seem to mind. "Describe everything that happened in detail and tell me everything about him".
The green Shapeshifting Reptile took a deep breath.
"His name is Legolas…, Legolas Baron".
"He is a Grade B+ Demi-god Summoner".
"He came from a planet in the Roronoa Star System, Planet Darvis".
"He is 75 years old".
"75 years old?" The existence in black asked, visibly surprised as the others could tell that his interest in this mystery summoner just grew higher.
"He is the leader of the Nightmare Army".
"A few hours ago, he fought against the weakest Admiral and Calamity Grade Super of the Nak State…," He paused. "And he won".
Despite already hearing the confirmation from him before, hearing it again now, all the Upper Beast Priests present still took in a deep breath in shock.
"Interesting…" The black existence muttered.
"Interesting…, tell me more, I want details".
The Espionage Priest started as he continued narrating in detail.
…
"Achoo…!"
Uranus burst out laughing. "Dad, are you ok? You've been sneezing for the past dozen minutes non-stop".
Legolas rubbed his nose. "I'm too strong to develop a cold".
His eyes narrowed. "Is someone mentioning my name repeatedly, or is someone thinking about me?"
"Maybe it's love". Christensen joked.
Legolas glared at him.
"But master…," He protested. "You're over 70 years old already, you're so strong, you've literally achieved the perfect life that most other supers want already, why don't you want to spice it up with some romance?"
"Life is so much sweeter with a loving partner you know".
Legolas laughed. "You're wasting your time, I can't love".
Christensen placed his hands on his waist and glared at him.
Legolas laughed harder. "Anyways, I think I can love but I'm just not ready for it yet. When it's time, you'll know, I'll bring a beautiful chick home".
"Will she make Cosmic Beast Barbecue for me?"
"Yes, she will Uranus".
"Hehe…," This Titan chuckled.
Uranus was already over 50 years but before his godfather, he still felt and behaved like a kid despite now being one of the strongest warriors of the Nightmare Army.
After liberating his students and his army, they returned to their previous headquarters, reclaiming all that previously belonged to them.
Under Commander Claire's leadership, the Nightmare Army gradually started operations again.
Yes, Claire, a capable assistant recommended by Christensen was the new stand-in Commander of the Nightmare Army under Legolas' approval.
Neither his 2 students nor his godson could take care of the army on his behalf now, this was because Legolas already paved the way for them to get even stronger through the hidden training planets of the Nak State.
As for himself, he would also be unavailable in the near future which placed Claire as the best candidate to stand-in for him.
Legolas met Claire for the first time a few dozen minutes ago and he was satisfied with her. Through his system interface, he confirmed that she was not a traitor which was all he needed to give the go-ahead.
While his students got prepared to go train, he got prepared to go on a journey through memories.
Legolas wanted to go on a trip back to the Roronoa Star System.
Before embarking on the mission that would likely bring this version of the game to an end, Legolas wanted to take a trip back through memories.
He wanted to be in the right state of mind for the decisive clash to implement all the ideas that he had in mind to get the most benefit from the clash.
Having spent such a long time away from his students and godson, he wanted to spend some time with them before he embarked on his journey and he did just that even as Sophia and Nagana came in to join the reunion.
Legolas was having a nice family time, for now.
