Chapter 568: Storm Dwellers Peak (1/2)

”Young Lord, you're back!” Kyrie greeted when he saw Raven arriving with a flash of light inside the pocket dimension.

”Mn!” Raven nodded in acknowledgement. ”The Soldiers are still in slumber, I just a clone in there to temporarily look after them. How's everything so far?”

”The situation had more or less stabilized within Asphodel.” Kyrie said as he passed down several reports on Raven's table. ”Thanks to your contributions, the Inner Disciples now had an easier time dealing with the Devils that are descending. Additionally, the Formations you made were well received by the disciples. I assume you've already received the Merit Points from them already.”

”That I did.” Raven nodded.

He had indeed received the generous compensation for his hard work. The formations were sold for at least 500,000 Merit Points. It's a bit on the expensive side yet those who had purchased it used it had no complaints so far.

How can they complain after experiencing the greatness of the Formation? Not only did the Formation repelled the Curse of Wrath that's ever present within Asphodel, it also provided them with security and comfort. The Formation can't be seen by the Devils, additionally, it also converts the irritating heat of Asphodel into cold winter breeze which was comfortable beyond belief.

It was safe to say that the Formation was a godly tool and a must have when travelling within Asphodel. Those who bought it and used it had nothing but praises for it. 500,000 Merit Points sure is expensive but this is just a small investment that will surely pay-out greatly. Some of the people who bought already reached a break-even point, and from there onwards, they'll start earning.

Raven's entitled to at least 50% of the profits. The materials are covered by the sect so those are not deducted to his pay, which means that he's getting 250,000 Merit Points for each Formation that was bought. Sufficed to say, Raven's pockets are definitely fatter at this point.

”I'll hand over another batch of Formations next week. Be sure to remind in case I forgot about it.” Raven informed Kyrie.

”Yes, Young Lord.” Kyrie greatly admired this Young Lord of hers. He hasn't even been in the position for long yet he's already solved the problem of Merit Points earning. He truly is special.

”Anything else I needed to know?” Raven asked.

”Here, Young Lord.” Kyrie pushed a scroll on Raven's table.

Raven picked up the scroll and gently unfurled it. Looking at it's contents, his mind trembled for a bit. It's another specialized mission issued to him, this time, it was sent by the Sect Master.

[Mission for the 9th Zeus's Chosen - Vendrick Valorheart]

: I've heard about your deeds from the Grand Elder. Impressive! I hope you continue this trend for the greater good. Nevertheless, let's talk business...

I heard you were capable of creating Empyrean-ranked Seals, there is a matter that I need your help with. Meet me at the Storm Dweller's Peak as soon as you can. I'll inform you about the details of this mission there.

Raven was visibly surprised upon seeing this. He then turned to Kyrie and asked: ”When did this arrive?”

”Two days ago Young Lord.” She replied, ”I would've let you know if it weren't for the Sect Master's orders to not disturb you lest you were in the middle of something important.”

”That's...oddly humble for someone like him.” Raven murmured, but it was heard by Kyrie.

”The Sect Master must've had his own reasons.” She said, ”I suggest that you look for him, assuming that you don't have anything important to do right now.”

”Yeah, I should do that.” Raven mumbled somewhat absent-mindedly. He then stood-up and asked: ”How do I go to the Storm Dweller's Peak?”

”This place had a one-way Transmission Gate towards there. I'll have it ready for you.” She replied.

”Thanks. I'll go take a bath real quick.” Raven said as he went towards the bathroom.

Several minutes later, Raven got out of the bath and ready to leave. He wasted no time and searched for Kyrie. He found her waiting beside the Transmission Gate, when Raven appeared, he nodded at her and she got the message.

Kyrie activated the Transmission Gate and Raven stepped inside, before he left he gave her some instructions via voice transmission. Kyrie remembered everything he said and deactivated the transmission gate once he disappeared.

When Raven's vision adjusted, he found himself standing in front of an extremely tall mountain covered with dark clouds and occasional bolts of thunder and lightning. There was an arching gate in front of him with a plate which reads: Storm Dweller's Peak.
