192 Guardians vs. Emissaries (1/2)

---

The underground district was sent into chaos and became the battlefield for the Final Haven Kingdom-'s forces against the Black Curtain Guild's forces.

Sounds of explosions echoed everywhere, chunks or rocks flew and myriad of energy lights dispersed like fireworks. It was already a miracle that the underground district hadn't collapsed yet. The event occurring here is almost akin to a miniscule war already.

Needless to say, with the constant flow of Final Haven Empires reinforcements, members of the Black Curtain Guild are being pushed back. Most of the captives of the Mort Family are being escorted to a safe location and enemy forces are quickly dwindling in number.

Aside from the constant flow of reinforcements, another reason why they were getting the upper hand is due to the Guardians intercepting the Emissaries. Without anyone leading them, the forces of the Black Curtain Guild were like some headless chicken. They were forces to suffer one loss after another due to this.

The Fifth Emissary was incredibly depressed.

Victor suppressed him in their battle. The Fifth Emissary's specialty lies on controlling deceased spirits to attack and overwhelm his enemies. If he was given enough time, he could call up to thousands of souls to do his bidding, and the longer they stayed in the mortal world, the more powerful they become.

Unfortunately for him, even before he faced Victor, he was up against Raven who knew exactly how to counter his fighting style. When the Fifth Emissary tried to conjure another batch of souls to fight for him, he notice that it was taking him more time and more energy to call upon them. While he was successful in his attempts, he noticed that the conjured souls were actually weaker compared to what he was expecting, not only that, the souls are also rebellious which made it difficult for him to control them.

Imagine how stressed he must've been, he was faced with Victor who's attacks are relentless and dangerous while at the same time, he had to find out solutions to his current condition. The only one he could blame right now is none other than Raven and what he had done earlier.

It was after Raven had casted the technique 'Salvation', that the Fifth Emissary's control over the deceased, lessened.

This guess of his, is actually correct.

The source of the Fifth Emissary's power is due to an ancient ritual that he experienced under the guidance of the Devil Prince. This allows him to perceive and rouse the souls of the dead. That being said, Raven of course knew how to shut down his technique, it just so happens that the technique Raven used is stronger than what the current Fifth Emissary could handle, this explains why the backlash he received was this intense as well.

It also didn't help that Victor was enlightened and gain minor control over Lightning Laws, which is said to be the bane of any negative soul-based techniques. So the Fifth Emissary was rendered hopeless and could only display meager tricks to save his life.

The Fourth Emissary wasn't doing so well either.

According to the information they gathered over the past few years, it is said that the Kingdom's Hawk, Luis specialized in the intelligence department. It was even written in there that they don't have to be worried if they engaged him in a one on one battle since he was weaker compared to the other guardians.

If this was the case, then why was he the one being suppressed right now? This doesn't make sense at all!

He couldn't figure out why Luis was this strong, both of them are at the peak of the Silver Knight Realm. He knew that Luis hadn't stepped into Half-step Golden Knight Realm since Luis was wearing his Silver Armament currently and it's quality is equal to what he had, so why was he being suppressed?

The answer to his question would be Law Comprehension.

Back when Raven experienced Soul Rebirth, he found a technique which is called 'Violent Sun Scripture' and gave it to Luis. It had to be known that if Raven wants to, he could've given other techniques that are better than this since he had no shortage of techniques in his memory. But why did he go through the trouble of digging up a hidden location just to bestow a technique to his father?
