Chapter 242 - 197 : Kang Amidel (1/2)
After taking several turns and walking for a few minutes, the master and servant finally arrived at a large room with a dining table. Arthur expected to see the usual room with pillars and a throne but it was surprisingly different and less luxurious than his expectations.
Amidel was not there, only a few servants which were preparing the table. When they saw a woman and the red-haired youth arrived, they guided them to their seat and left hurriedly to call their master.
All servants were instructed to call Amidel when they see Arthur, this shows how much the head of the family wants to meet this mysterious woman.
Arthur calmly sat on the seat, he stared at all the laid out dishes in front of him, it's been quite a while since he ate, especially delicious food. Although he doesn't need to eat, it doesn't mean he doesn't want to, he loves enjoying the taste of appetizing food, notably Lucy's cooking.
Swain stood behind his master, he closed his eyes and prepared himself to act, he wasn't feeling relaxed like Arthur, quite the opposite, he considered Amidel as an enemy despite having a friendly relationship with his daughter.
”You don't have to be this nervous. Sit down.”
Arthur noticed that Swain's aura is a bit different as if it was intentionally contained within. Similar to how Rizaki works, the energy is contracted to a very small volume until it self-explodes.
The reason Arthur wasn't that worried despite knowing that Amidel is a Sovereign and a dangerous one at that is because he not only recovered to his peak state, he powered-up and had three Dimensional Stones which he can use and get the hell out of here before the opponent could react.
”If you don't calm down, I'll separate you.”
Swain opened his eyes and glanced at the ceiling while saying
”Master, you don't understand. This Kang Amidel isn't human… I don't know if he's taking the identity of Kang Amidel or not but he's dangerous, way more than Rozak. One Rizaki wouldn't be enough to force him on his knees.”
Arthur was about to talk when Swain continued speaking
”As for escaping, it isn't possible. The castle is protected by a multi-dimensional formation, thanks to it, the castle was barely damaged by your final attack.”
It's true that a lot of mysteries revolved around Amidel, but Arthur didn't care the least. He chuckled and patted the youth's shoulder and said
”Ah Swain… you really know nothing. If I want to go all out and disregard all the innocent lives, not even Amidel will be able to survive. Furthermore, Rizaki isn't my only trump card and it's not my strongest move.”
Hearing this, Swain remembered the time before he fused, when he was two entities, the golem, and the book. Back inside the cave, before Artur departed, he spent almost a whole day crafting something yet he never used, however, there was a distinct thing that happened, it was a small tribulation.
This was intriguing since the object was mainly crafted using Lost Magic, which can mainly craft objects from Earth and they have no Nether Energy.
A tribulation strikes an item or an object if the Heavens are discontent with it and want it destroyed. If the object resists the tribulation, the Heavens can either strike with more tribulations or stop.
”Master, what did you craft?”
Hearing the curious tone of his servant, Arthur shrugged and said
”Nothing special, just a small gift for my wife.”
Swain decided to question this no further, Arthur wasn't going to answer him anyway, so why bother?
…
A short time later, the hosts arrived at last. It was none other than Kang Amidel and his two children, none of the elders came with them, just these three.
Emily happily sat next to Swain, as for Kithel, he respectfully sat next to Arthur. Only Amidel sat on the opposite side of Arthur, he was showing a friendly and welcoming smile and didn't seem to be worried about anything.
”It's a pleasure to finally meet you.”
