Chapter 55 - 53 (1/2)

The full moon was raised up above the sky as it shone briliantly. Inside the inn, in the rented room of Zero, they started to discussed about Xeris. Zero told Chun about the ice princess which made the girl surprised as she had no memory about the ice princess, she still listened to what the youth was saying.

Fortunately, Titus was nearby as she asked the deity about it.

”You mean the ice princess? Oh, she was a messenger of those deities between the mortals. I have no certain memories of her as I was already locked in here for six hundred years. Though as what that young man had stated, the ice princess had likely betrayed them as she shifted her faction to the Greatworld king---”

”You mean she fell in love to the human so she betrayed them,” Chun corrected.

”I don't know about that,” Titus shrugged as he was about to go out the hut when the girl stopped him with a question.

”How can you say that she betrayed them?”

Hearing that question, Titus answered ambiguously, ”You could incur the wrath of all kinds of being but you should not test the deities. We're wicked despite of being a deity. And trust is the most important thing to us.”

”You just admitted that you're not good!”

”Did I deny it?” Titus shrugged as he walked off.

'That's why I don't trust him. Trust is an important thing to a deity? Such hypocrisy.'

Chun thought as she turned her attention to Zero.

”So ice princess said that you should avoid the Serpents which was a loyal servants of Xeris?”

Zero affirmed as he explained his predicament. They started to plan out his venture to the royal palace, he needed to avoid that Jin person and his team. As the young man remembered the warning signs of the system about the deity's hostility to him, though on the surface, Jin wasn't even looking at him while the hostility rate kept increasing. Deities were truly deceiving, he live up to his title as a deity.

”I believed that Xeris will not kill you personally but his servants will. So we need to see who were these Serpents of his.”

”Then we should meet the ice princess to be accurate of our plan,” Zero suggested.

Chun agreed easily as she wanted to see this ice princess, she might regain some familiarity with her.

The streets were in serene silent as it was 12 in the midnight. People were asleep in their homes as the dimly lit path welcomed the young man as he walked on foot. Fortunately, the inn was located in the outskirts of the city so the youth could easily travel to the outside.

The soldiers were still patrolling the gates while the young man went out with no difficulty as the guards recognized him. Having an identity as a 'prince' made him got an easy ticket.

Zero finally arrived at a peaceful neighborhood where he had rented a humble home for the two 'kidnapped' individuals to stay in and as the war was now prevented, he could dismissed their act.

Unassumingly, the place was quiet as if there was no person living here. Where were they? He looked for them but a piece of paper on the table caught his attention.

'Hello to you, Great Conqueror. Unfortunately, I didn't even had a chance to bid my wishes to you personally as I was occupied by this two naughty people. Don't you worry, I just tied them and a sword would accidentally slip from my hands and struck them if you won't come here soon. There is a teleportation array inside the house, I specially prepared it for you.

Wish you bloodied luck! Hope to see you soon!

-Serpents'

(And speaking of the devils.)

Chun commented as she had a glare while looking at the paper. Zero was no different from her as he was seething his anger from the bastard who took them. He felt that the Serpents was the culprit he was looking for.
