Chapter 187 - 166.1 : Farewell (2/2)

The general was initially startled as she was preoccupied with the thoughts regarding the clan but his voice brought her back to the cruel reality.

”Not very often, probably once or twice a year.”

Contrary to her usual stubbornness, she became much more docile. After learning the ruckus he created and seeing his power, she was certain that he was a powerful expert and any mistake she makes would result in her death. Rose had long since known those rogue experts which travel the world and they usually were extremely powerful and ruthless.

”Mmmm”

Arthur didn't say anything, he just made a noise close to a humming but Rose could imagine him showing a playful smile as he said that. She didn't add anything and flew towards the West.

”Why did they come right now?”

”I do not know, they usually come when a treasure or a high-valued thing is spotted. We usually do trades too.”

This time, Arthur didn't reply, he remained silent which stressed Rose for a few minutes but after still hearing nothing from him, her body relaxed. Her troops were already there so was traveling alone so it was a pretty good opportunity for Arthur to leave her body yet he didn't.

Arthur had other plans, simply going now won't do him any good. He doesn't have a clear destination and he needs to digest the knight and completely subdue him so he can possess him. His main goal right now is finding a spatial master, and that isn't doable in such a desolate land so he has to cross the wall of Yang Fire.

With his fire resistance and current power, it should be possible to cross it but he has to resolve a final matter first. The children of the deceased Human Emperor, they disappeared along with Sonia and the rest yet there is no sign of them here. They are not in the gargoyle land nor the pigolo territory, which only leaves the last faction, The Naga tribe.

In the past, the daughter of the Human Emperor did cause some trouble for him and Lucy and there was a grudge but it had long since been solved and he didn't take it too much into heart. He wasn't going to give up just yet. Although they may have died, however, there is also a possibility of them being kidnapped too.

And where were all the kidnapped girls sent to? Of course, it was to that mysterious force that Vyncent is coming from. The prince may not be with her but he should at least retrieve her.

Thanks to the information Vyncent gave him, he was supposed to meet up with the elders and the rest of the team in a specific location, the two brothers staying at the Gargoyles tribe will be there too along with the captured girls, so he decided to go take a look.

...

”It is finally time.”

When they were a good distance away from the HQ of the gargoyles, Arthur left Rose's body at last. With the book in his waist and Makaze sheathed, he was fully prepared.

The female gargoyle was stunned as she looked at the grey-haired man floating next to him with a peaceful look. She only managed to breathe again when his figure blurred and he disappeared from her view.

”Maybe next time we meet, we won't be enemies.”

Those were the last words she heard from him before he completely vanished. A few minutes later, AFter she probed her body and made sure there was nothing lurking inside, she glanced at the direction he headed off to then continued flying West.
