Chapter 98 - 98 : Gathering of Experts (1/2)

Since the two of them sat a table for the important figures of the older generation, many people threw curious gazes at both of them. Some even thought that these two didn't know the rules and just sat there randomly.

They wanted to go and mock both of them in front of everybody but there was some part of them that stopped them from doing so as there is also a chance that these two strangers do indeed have a high status. But if that's the case then why does everyone know them?

No one went to greet them or chat with them which indicated that no one knows them or they are enemies with all of them.

Back at where the juniors sat, Malark and a group of Undead Generals sat at a corner discussing what's going to happen, they are generals but still considered young as their Realm was too low, so was their ages.

If Arthur and Lucy didn't change their appearances, he may have recognized them, but now he just threw a couple of glances at them before continuing to talk with the others. He didn't have good friends but that didn't mean he was a complete loner.

Not only was there Undead Generals, there were also Monster Generals and some youths from various sects and clans that were either quarreling about who's better or enjoying the feast. It is common for juniors to fight in events like these, but now it was too early, they would fight to entertain the strong figures and perhaps impress them to gain favors from or to build a good impression.

Arthur wasn't going to participate in this useless fights, he needs to spot the woman and attack, quite simple but very hard to do. Attacking wouldn't allow him to find where Saly is, but if he successfully takes the woman with him and Lucy, he would be able to get Saly's location from her, for someone who was brutally tortured, he didn't lack ways to make her talk.

He remained calm on the outside, but he and Lucy were anxious, if people like Aborak and co got involved and try to stop them then it'll be very troublesome.

As they were waiting for the important figures, Lucy didn't hold back as she ate whatever she liked, even Arthur ate ravenously as if he was a beggar who didn't eat for years. Well, the food is not going to eat itself so why not benefit from this and eat whatever is displayed? It's not like it's prohibited.

Time passed slowly as it was quite boring for a banquet. After an hour or so, one of the powerhouses finally came, it was a middle-aged man with a long red hair, he had a sturdy body and scars on face and neck. From the description he heard from people, he knew that it's the clan master of the Doom Bringer Clan.

Two old men and a youth followed him, the two old men were probably elders of the clan, as for the youth, it was his son Tyga. The boy had a red hair just like his father and had a long red two-handed sword on his back. He emitted strong killing intent and thick blood sent.

”I'm welcome everyone to this Grand Banquet, I hope you can enjoy your time here.”

The clan master said that with a deadpan face, he didn't seem like the guy who loves to talk, he only said this because he was one of the hosts and simply ignoring everyone is disrespectful.

After saying that, Meyzu, the clan master sat at one of the 7 seats on the stage, he looked a bit bored as he checked the guests one by one.

As for the youth, he went to a random chair in the juniors area and sat there silently, he didn't seem to have any friends and no one mocked him or wanted to pick a fight with him.

Followed by Meyzu were the rest of the powerful figures, they arrived just after him. There was a bearded old man with a black robe, he sat at the central chair. As for the clan master of the Lightning fox clan, it was a blond old woman with wrinkles all over her face, despite her old age, her eyes were sharp even though she was displaying a friendly smile.

Arthur felt his body being probed several times by them, clearly, they didn't know him or Lucy, so they were curious about him, after all, someone who sits at such an area without them knowing his identity if a bit shameful for them. They didn't dare straight out ask them so they just kept staring at him, especially the clan master of the Royal Cobra Clan and the old woman.

As they were checking the guests and elders of the three powerful clans, Lucy's eyes constricted when her gaze landed on a black-dressed woman, she was sitting with the elders of the Royal Cobra Clan and enjoying some Spirit Wine.

”Arthur, it's her, I'm sure of it!”

Lucy didn't even bother to confirm her guess, the description they got from Anastassia is very precise, with a black long hair and a mysterious tattoo that could barely be seen in her neck. She was very pretty and albeit not seeing the book that Anastassia mentioned, Lucy had a strong feeling that it's her.

Lissandra (Race : Human) : God Realm 2nd Grade.

'What! God Realm?'

When Arthur appraised her, he was seriously shocked, her being at the God Realm make things hundreds if not thousands of times more difficult. Being appraised by Arthur wasn't noticed by her obviously as the appraisal is a unique skill and it's not like the probing the strong figures do.

If he tried to probe her through Nether Energy, because she's stronger than him, she would instantly know, even if she is weaker, she would still feel it, so Appraisal could be said to be very beneficial.

Lucy's fists were clenched as she wanted to jump on Lissandra immediately, she knew she wasn't her match but she just couldn't stay still, after all, this woman killed almost all the Ma Clan and hurt Saly, a person who she(Lucy) considered as her daughter!

”Calm down, it's not the time yet.”

Arthur held Lucy's hands and calmed her down, he too was angry and enraged but he knew it would be suicidal, especially when Lissandra is in the God Realm. Not only was she in the God Realm, there were elders from the Royal Cobra Realm in the God Realm too.

As for the clan masters, each and every one of them was at least at the 4th Grade God Realm.

...

After a couple more minutes, a crude-looking Spirit Boat that had some cracks and dust all over it flew above the huge garden. From it descended an illusory-looking figure. It was the Lich King Aborak.

He looked like a reaper, with a long black robe and skeletal hands, he looked very creepy and terrifying, as for his face, it was blurry and you could only distinguish a somewhat skull face with two purple beams in its eye sockets.

The Lich King Aborak (Race : Undead) : God Realm 8th Grade.

Arthur gasped as he saw that, he knew that the difference between one grade in the God Realm is just too big, much less a difference of two or three. The strongest person the in the alliance of the three clans was the clan master Jizung of the Royal Cobra Clan who was at the God Realm 6th Grade, but he still was far weaker than Aborak.

What followed Aborak was a luxurious looking Spirit Boat that stretched for more than a mile! It had many decorations and a big symbol on it. Several figures descended from it.

Arthur guessed that they were the Monster Race. The one leading was a white-haired male, he looked very young, probably in his twenties. With a golden robe and a pale white skin, he was waving his hand friendly at the people in the banquet while displaying a very angelic smile.

”I thank you dear friends for inviting me to this banquet.”

He slowly descended from his Spirit Boat and sat next to Aborak. He seemed like the talkative type as he started engaging in conversations with Meyzu, who only grunted and nodded in the process.
