Chapter 674: Poor maiden... (2/2)

He then snorted and said: ”Well, he succeeded. I was pissed so I revealed his true identity. He was a piece of Sun Rock that came from the Sun obviously. I don't know what kind of luck he had but he managed to condense a consciousness. He also managed to cultivate 100 kinds of Flames which is why the Flames of Olympus has numerous colors.”

”I don't know what exactly transpired but when our Forefathers forged the Last Seal, he was chosen as well. Elder Flame serves as the core component of the Last Seal, the Chains of Orders were bound to him and he could borrow the chain links as passage for his flames to reach the prisoner downstairs.”

”Well, realizing that the Elder that you have been worshipping for decades...centuries even, were nothing but a piece of rock that's just a little too lucky, surely is heartbreaking. It's no wonder why him and the other Fire Keepers kept telling you that they were cheated. This is a heavy secret so don't go telling everybody.”

Raven laughed once again due to the sheer hilarity of the situation. The three were dumbfounded and looked at Theo with pity. The poor guy just sat there, still looking as if he lost his soul. His worships and blind respect for the Elder turned out to be a big joke. No wonder he's acting like this...

”Man, I was fooled as well.” Henry smiled wryly. ”The worst part is that we can't have our respects back. Hurting Elder Flame means hurting the Last Seal as well so we can't even lay a finger on him.”

”Yeah...” Theo hoarsely replied, ”Only him could terrorize the damned rock...”

”You bet!” Raven laughed out loud once again. Ignoring the fact that Theo's really brokenhearted by this, ”He knows what I can do and how fast I cultivate.”

”I may not be able to touch him right now but as soon as I could, I'd peel him out of the Last Seal and throw him back to the Sun. Let's see if he dares to let out a fart in my presence.”

The rest were speechless at Raven's domineering words. But it's not without basis though, even if they fought Raven in a one versus four, it's not certain who's going to win. Despite them being Empyrean's and all, Raven's Runic Inscriptions are nothing to scoff at. Just a few strokes of his brush would all it takes for their cultivation bases to be sealed entirely.

”Okay so, he called you there, pissed you off and you revealed his identity. Is that all that happened?” Henry asked, feeling doubtful that that's the entire story.

”Of course not, there's more.” Raven was about to say more but they were interrupted by Kyrie who brought them some refreshments. Raven smiled at her and said: ”Thanks.”

Kyrie flinched and felt heat rushing up to her face, she shook her head and said: ”Y-you're welcome, Young Lord. Excuse me...”

She then left in flustered and hurried manner, causing the War Gods to feel surprised.

”Anyways, as I was saying...”

But Raven doesn't seem to have noticed anything, he recounted what happened at the temple to them. Unbeknownst to him, that War Gods paid attention not to his story but to what just transpired before he started recounting what happened at the temple.

”...I was out for a couple of days after that. I recovered now but I still feel like lazing around so I'm like this.” Raven finished his story and looked at the War God's expression. He felt strange looking at them so he asked: ”Hey, what's wrong?”

”Oh uh...nothing.” Logan replied, shaking his head, the others shook theirs as well.

”Yeah, that reminds me...” Henry suddenly interjected, ”I recall you telling us that you're married right?”

Raven was surprised by that sudden question but he still replied: ”Yes, I am married.”

”To one wife?” Logan added.

”Yes, to one wife?” Raven replied once more. ”Why are you guys asking this all of a sudden?”

”Nothing much really.” Henry playfully replied, he then asked: ”Hey, you never showed us what your wife looks like before. Can show her to us now? You can like, draw a sketch or something.”

”Hmm.” Raven was suspicious but he didn't really know why. He shrugged and summoned a sigil on his left hand. Once the War Gods saw this, they all smiled wryly. They knew what that sigil was.

From the sigil, an image of two people emerged. One was Raven and the other one was Luna. This was the image of their Grand Wedding back at the lower plane. It was them sharing their vows with kiss.

Raven looked fondly at the image, it was as if he could see nothing else aside from this. The War Gods saw his expression and sighed...

'A perfect married couple indeed...' That's what they all thought. A fiendishly handsome man and a kingdom-toppling beauty. Indeed, they were perfect for each other.

All sorts of emotions crept to the other War Gods' hearts, envy, admiration, and so on. But right now, as they saw Raven's expression, all they could think of is...

'Poor Kyrie...'
