Chapter 328: Lets Talk Later (2/2)

”Did you hear? The Oxflame Monarch fought another Monarch from the enemy world yesterday. The battle was too intense that the vibrations we felt yesterday were caused by them when their skills contended against each other to feel out each other.”

As I entered the fortress to look for Udann, my feet stopped moving when I heard one of the few freed Rank 1 Transcendents who chose to continue assisting the tribe gossiping with his buddies resting on a corner.

I remembered those vibrations. At first, I thought the hole I buried myself into was about to cave in and trap me in there. So I stuck my head out to see what's happening. And there, at the direction of the front line, crimson and coarse yellow colors dyed the sky for more than five minutes until the coarse yellow color completely dyed it. And that means the crimson aura lost against it.

After that, the Dimensional Space calmed down. I waited for a while to see if there will be changes before going back to continue absorbing the gathered energy.

Going by this gossiper's world, then it must be related to that.

”Didn't he retreat because there were two Monarchs on their side?”

”Not just two. There were three of them and both are at almost the same level as the Oxflame Monarch. If he didn't retreat, he would suffer injuries on the first day of the Defense. That's why look, the Dafirae Tribe asked for someone to aid the Oxflame Monarch…” The gossiper Transcendent pointed in my direction and everyone's gazes followed it.

I thought they were pointing at me but as it turns out, they're pointing at someone entering from the entrance. As they all followed his finger, not only those gossiping with him, even the ones from the Dafirae Tribe all stopped at what they're doing at the arrival of the newcomer.

And since I'm also curious, I turned around to see what the buzz was about.

However, before I could even process what I saw, the one they were pointing out opened her mouth first, surprise and confusion apparent in her face.

”You…”

And there she was, stood frozen just a few steps away from where I was standing. That scarlet hair and that silver-plated armor made from numerous blades. Blade Monarch Remilia.

Although she was surprised, she instantly recovered from it and completely ignored my existence before I could even utter a response to her surprise upon seeing me. Because of that, the others in this place hadn't noticed that change in her.

As she continued her steps inside, I instinctively stepped to the side to allow her to pass by me. And at that exact moment, her voice echoed in my mind.

”For you to be here… You truly caught me off guard, Daisuke. Let's talk later.”

Although it's only words, I could imagine that she would be saying that with an amused expression plastered on her face.

But this woman… If she's here… Is she sent by Worldy or Illiana?

”We welcome the Blade Monarch. We apologize if we welcomed you in this kind of fashion.”

From behind the tribe members of the Dafirae, the Exalted who explained to us about our duty back then appeared and welcomed Remilia in full respect.

”Stop the pleasantries. I had enough of that outside. I am here at the behest of the Great One Zaraya. Tell me a quick rundown of the situation.” Contrary to their expectation, Remilia sternly waved her hand and stopped any kinds of flowery words that would come out of their mouths to praise her. She immediately went straight to the purpose of her arrival here.

Since everyone here was beneath her, none voiced an objection. After that, she was led by the Exalted to the interior of this tower-like structure, leaving the Rank 2 and Rank 1 Transcendent gazing at her back. Some were mystified with her appearance and some were admiring her exquisite appearance. Even the gossiping Transcendents at the side were all tongue-tied and left speechless for a long while.

The place could only regain the previous buzz when the Exalted and Remilia went into a room where she would receive most of the information from the frontline.

Well, unlike them although I also admired that alluring figure and appearance of hers, I was more focused on what she said.

Remilia was sent here at the behest of Great One Zaraya… She didn't mention any tribe which means she's like Alwyn right now, working under the command of a Great One.

Also, the words she sent to me… Talk later, huh? Should I run away now?
