146 The Tempering War Begins (2/2)
”I see…Are you not willing to help us in our struggle then?” Degark had a similar conversation with one of the monks in charged of the Temple of the Rising Sun many years before and the answer he got that time was not favorable. The monks didn't want to get involved in the struggles created by the G.o.ds through their emissaries and stated that the fighting would hurt the realm even more than quietly submitting to the Dragonkin.
In Harbinger eyes the person in front of him might be of the same opinion but Rahz answer made him pleasantly surprise.
”I think that in order to fight against our true enemies, we have to unite the Realm and in order to do that a confrontation with the Dragonkin is unavoidable. As you can see Lord Degark, I am still pretty weak and my role in a war of Avatars capable of forming the Shattering Scar is laughable to say the least. I need to get stronger my own way, I can't promise to help right away but I will stand on the alliance side when the time comes”.
GOOD! Said Degark while nodding.
”Looks like you have a good head on your shoulders...here” Degark toss a ring towards Rahz and the moment it was airborne he felt a tingling sensation from Apocalypse who said,”An artifact made by the G.o.ds”.
Rahz felt apocalypse wanting to pop out of his body and devour the ring but he struggle to keep his weapon in check.
”Relax… this is not the time to consume”
Rahz grabbed the ring and with a smiled on his face vowed towards Lord Degark.
”Is an Investment” Said Degark while s.h.i.+fting his attention to the Coercer who started going over the next topic in the agenda.
Giant Blade was right on cue and walked Rahz out of the tent to join the others while talking about how busy Degark was and to not take the abrupt ending to the meeting to heart.
Rahz shrugged it off and actually thought that it was quite normal for somebody of Harbinger's status to be super busy and was just stoke that he got to meet a legend.
After they exited the tent, Rahz also got his rune and now they were ready to rumble.
The last few weeks before the start of the confrontation pa.s.sed by in a flash. The team decided to operate on their own at the beginning of the War and try to snipe some kills while gathering as much information from the enemy as possible without being too flashy. The War was a marathon and not a sprint compet.i.tion and the worst thing they could do at the beginning was to call attention to themselves.
In the Deva's side, the people belonging to the G.o.d of Justice were being briefed about their target for the War, the Demon Squad. Omega was the leader of the meeting and there were at least 50 people including Sigfrid and his team.
”The main target for this war is this b.a.s.t.a.r.d named Rahz but he goes by a couple of other names such as the Behemoth, the Vengeance Headmaster, and the Sword Devourer among others. Even though his Level is not too high, DO NOT BE FOOL!!! He is extremely vicious and will have level 40's defending him at all times”.
A lot of the people present at the meeting started whispering and this upset Omega that thought they were talking about his fiasco during the mission in Naas and so he snapped.
SILENCE!!!
….
”Make sure to study the information and be ready to move out the moment the Zone is open. If you manage to kill him, do not forget to get his weapon or you will be punish by Lord Odos himself...That is all…”
Once the meeting was over, Sigfrid walked over and put his hand on Omega's shoulder and said, ”Don't worry, we will kill him this time”
Omega nodded towards Sigfrid and walked out the door.
The war that would make them famous or infamous was starting and the expectations were incredibly high, however, thanks to their G.o.d they had a nice hidden Card.
