201 Vithum the Scaleless (2/2)
”So, you mean to say that the true master of the Black Curtain Guild, isn't that Alastair but this Vit'hum instead?” Ellen asked, to which Raven nodded. ”Ai! What a headache!”
”You tell me.” Raven laughed and replied.
”You said that only a part of Vit'hum soul managed to survive right?” Mark asked, Raven nodded in agreement. ”Then if it's only a soul, we should be able to manage right?”
”How I wish that it was that simple.” Raven smiled wryly and shook his head, ”Vit'hum's lackeys managed to retrieve his body, the Scaleless Drake's body. Bastard's talented in souls, so I wouldn't be surprised be managed to fuse his soul back to the injured body and preserve it using some methods.”
”So, in short. We have an enemy that's at least a couple thousands of years old, and is extremely angry at humans. Well, how in the world are we fighting that?” Paul asked in a distressed manner.
”Didn't you hear what Big Bro said?” Anne interjected, ”We have time.”
”Anne's right.” Raven confirmed, ”By estimations, we have more or less a decade to prepare before he launch a direct attack.”
”Avi…” Luna's worried voice caught Raven's attention, he looked to her while she said; ”Father…won't come across him, right?”
There was a very uncomfortable silence that followed her question. Balmung and Luna tensed up when they saw Raven placed a serious expression. After a while, they saw him exhale.
”I have no way to guarantee that he won't.” Raven started, ”May I know how strong the King is before his departure?”
This time, it was Old Lee who answered the question. ”Half-step Hero Realm.”
Raven let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that. ”He must've broke through by now then. If that's the case, then I am confident about the chances of him escaping. Even if the Pale Bastard used his remaining strength, there is no way that he would be able to keep that King if he decided to leave.”
The rest heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his statement.
”That Old Man. I swear I would smack his face when he comes back. Making us worry for his sorry ass, what a loser.” Leona mumbled to the side while massaging her temples.
The rest could only smile wryly on her comments. Perhaps, she was the only one who could admonish the King in this way without getting punished.
”By the way.” Balmung caught everyone's attention. ”Who's this Jubileus that you spoke of?”
”Oh her?” Raven took a quick glance towards Luna and Old Lee before revealing a critical information. ”It's a long story. To make it short, she was the one who caused Luna to suffer for a while. Remember back when she has to chain up herself to prevent herself from hurting other people? That's her doing, her will and essence was previously trapped in that Hairpin Heirloom.”
”I didn't cure Luna since there's nothing wrong with her. It was Jubileus who I cured, so she owes me and Luna a favor. In turn she became Luna's Spirit Entity while she gave me a chance to summon her.”
As Raven told the story, Luna seeming entered a trance. She remember just how much she had suffered back then, it even came to the point where she had to wear a disguise and leave the Royal Palace in order to not hurt anyone. During her hopeless times, Raven came to her aid. It was then that her life resumed that's why she will never forget that day.
”Spirit Entity? What's that?”
