Chapter 393: News of his Return (1/2)

At the second topmost floor of the Nysia Tower, the relevant authority of the United Alliance gathered at a long table to discuss the recent happening all around the World of Meta. The gains and losses, the enemy movements as well as the information sent by the few spies they managed to send on the Moon under the guise of being a recruited vagrant.

Seated at the head, the de facto leader of the Alliance and the Head of the Primeval Aegis League, Nysia Athonae, tapped on the table, gaining the attention of everyone in the room.

Apart from Nysia and her trusted subordinate Lexie, there's the Moonlight Confederacy's Matriarch Lyra and her daughter, the Moonlight Queen Lunaria, the reformed New Haven Empire's Guardian Liam and his granddaughter the Imperial Princess Leianne, the Order of the Light's Cradle's Light Maiden, Elise and the Settler Faction's Representative, Krond.

The technology of the Anzeans of creating Portal devices that connect one place to another was now being utilized by the United Alliance to freely move from different territories. In this way, holding this kind of gathering was already a normal occurrence. Moreover, thanks to that technology, sending reinforcement was easy when one territory was attacked by the enemies.

”The three Heroes aren't back from their homeworld yet but I have some pleasant news for everyone… My husband is about to come back. Coming along with him are six Transcendents and three Rank 5 Mortals that have already reached the threshold.” Nysia started.

An hour ago, Daisuke contacted her about their status in the World of Barbarian. Ever since the upgrade of the Interdimensional Communication as well as his reemergence after being missing for a few days, Daisuke never missed a day to check in on her.

In that way, she was aware of everything that was happening around him and he was aware of the daily happenings in this world. Moreover, his Incarnation had just left a few days ago so everyone was somewhat aware of his plans apart from the Settler Faction.

Although they showed good faith about their desire to build a settlement for what's left of their race, as long as a part of their race in the form of the Healing Faction continued to aid the Dark World, everyone would continue to be a little reserved on them.

However, this time, Nysia was in her greatest mood upon hearing about the upcoming return of her beloved husband. That's why she also relayed the news to the Settler Faction.

If they're really an ally, this news will not reach the ears of the enemies but if something happens and it's directly related to Daisuke's upcoming return, then the trust that they're slowly building up will be completely erased.

Although she's fond of Danae, the girl isn't a pure Anzean. Even if Krond turned out to be her real father, Nysia will not forgive traitors.

”Six… No nine Transcendents. But even with their addition, we're still outnumbered.” Krond responded.

Like in any other world, the number of Dark World Transcendents who managed to descend in this world has already reached more than 30.

Nysia already managed to kill at least five of them. 'At least' because she's not sure if some of them died since there were others who managed to retreat after suffering a fatal blow from her.

In Krond's eyes, even if Daisuke and the others arrived, they're still outnumbered. Unlike the others, he's only aware of the strength of his Incarnation that would show up from time to time to lead the Aegis Battalion into battle.

”Un. But at least the pressure we're experiencing from those Darkbugs will lessen.” Nysia nodded and tapped the table once more, scanning their expressions about this piece of news.

Telling him the numbers is one thing but telling him the actual strength of the incoming reinforcements, that's a piece of information she will only say to the women connected to Daisuke.

Even before he left, Nysia was already advocating for him to take in the other four. Now that she heard from him that he added three more apart from the woman he shared life-and-death experience with at that Dark World, she couldn't wait to share it with the four women.

It's not that she didn't have any trust towards Liam and Lyra but it's Daisuke herself who prevented her from spreading every information he's giving her.

That guy's complete trust was only reserved for his Companions. Even though the four weren't official yet, he already decided to take them in.

”Great! Daisuke, huh? How much has he grown? His Incarnation can already sweep the floor against me… What more if I'm against his real body? I will lose in an instant.” Liam exclaimed. Although he has made some progress ever since the death of his son, it's too minuscule that he's still having a hard time against one Dark World Transcendent.

”It's possible that he's already reached the realm of Rank 2 Transcendent. Is that correct, Alliance Leader?” Lyra had a meaningful smile on her lips as if she's probing Nysia if she will spill out her husband's real strength.

”We'll see when he arrives. At the moment, continue to be vigilant in your territories. If you see unusual behavior from their routine attacks in your territories, report immediately.”  Brushing off Lyra's question, Nysia put out a reminder. ”Alright. You can go back to your territories now. Elise, Leianne and Lunaria, stay for a while, also call Danae here.”
