Chapter 580: Reponsibilities (1/2)
”Welcome back, Young Lord.”
Raven was welcomed by his subordinates as soon as he came back to his now owned pocket dimension. Their voices were filled with glee and passion as they welcomed him.
Kyrie almost couldn't conceal the joy on her face. She never thought that the where she will become the true Leader of the Battle Maids, will ever come. Yet with Raven's appearance, she easily achieved it.
As his personal Battle Maid and one that Raven decided to keep by his side, Kyrie received favorable benefits. Although Raven didn't go into the full details nor deliberately sang praises on her work, his simple act of wanting her to remain as his personal Battle Maid spoke volumes, which is why along with his official coronation as the heir of Chronos, Kyrie simultaneously became the true leader of the Battle Maids.
To this, Kyrie couldn't think of how to express her immense gratitude for her Young Lord. Being the Leader of the Battle Maids isn't just an empty title. It comes with many benefits that will certainly promote her strength.
Raven was somewhat surprised but he didn't show it. He merely smiled and said: ”Mn, I'm back. I'll be in seclusion for a bit. If anyone comes tell them that I'll at least need a week or two.”
”Understood, Young Lord.” Kyrie and the Soldiers said as Raven returned to his personal quarters.
Raven just came back from his appointment with Sect Master Lucas. He brought back some documents that he needed to study as well as some items that'll help him raise his combat effectiveness.
Although the ceremony caused large waves in the sect, Raven's identity as the Heir of Chronos is still mostly hidden. Most of the people are still trying to guess who was the one so for now, he'll have some quiet. Raven decided to take advantage of the situation to educate himself so that he won't be clueless when time comes.
Once he returned, he sealed up his room and immediately entered the Crown Space. Upon arriving at the Cultivation Eden, he sat down and began reading the documents that he brought back. According to Lucas, the contents of these documents contain the crucial information about the matters of the sect. It also contains the list of his responsibilities and details on how he should deal with them.
Raven didn't waste time and began memorizing the contents of the documents. And although he was prepared for it, he was still shocked to realize just how much responsibilities weighs down on the Sect Master's role.
First and foremost, the reason why the Sect Master doesn't stay on the sect 24/7 is because there are some matters that he had to attend to which takes precedence.
The Tomb of the Apocalypses was just one of the secret realms that he had to personally pay attention to. Aside from that, there are still at least four other secret realms that holds secrets and unknown dangers.
Aside from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, there are still more batches of soldiers who accompanied the Devil Emperor to wreck havoc into the Divine Realm. These groups had been subdued and imprisoned along with the Devil Emperor but not together. They were divided into batches and imprisoned accordingly.
These creatures that accompanied the Devil Emperor were called: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The Ten Commandments. The Five Calamities. The Seven Dark Disciples and the Four Devil Kings. One could say that the Seven Deadly Sins are included in this list but they were imprisoned in the Devil Emperor's Pagoda and were personal creations of the Devil Emperor so they are on a different category.
Each of this group are imprisoned on their own secret realms. And to Raven's shock, these secret realms are located precisely at the hidden world where the Mount Olympus were.
He could still remember back in the day when they arrived for the first time at the sect. They were inside the Warship then and they saw how aside from the towering Mount Olympus itself, the surroundings were covered in white fog.
It turns out that, the white fog they saw was defense mechanism. An enchantment that the previous generations casted amongst the lands of the Hidden World to hopefully prevent the followers of the Devil Emperor to contact each other.
Much like the Devil Emperor, his followers also designed a way to release some of the minions away from their prison. However, their efficiency is certainly slower and weaker compared to the Devil Emperor itself. Still, they can't be ignored. At the end of the day, they were the followers of the Devil Emperor. Leaving them alone will cause some problems in the future.
