45 A Mysterious Stranger (2/2)
Raising his head he clapped his hand's twice and then headed off into another direction. The woman following behind him gave a forlorn look at the statue like she was looking at a lover.
After leaving the statue room the two hurried to another part of the grand maze of a base that they found themselves within. All the while the man was grinding his teeth trying to understand who could have successfully gained the skill of his late master.
He knew the disposition of his Master, she'd pass on the skill to the person that defeated her if they were to her liking. Now that she'd been trapped for so many years he imagined that she would give it to anyone.
If it was a powerful person then he would need to take precautions in case they came seeking his life in return for the skill that his late master bestowed upon them.
This was quite the predicament that he found himself within. He'd always assumed that his master's soul would perish before someone would defeat her.
What this fool had forgotten about is that one's decaying soul would weaken thus rendering the power that one would be able to use also weakened. This was also a reason why he'd betrayed his master and now lived in the ground.
He was a coward, although, if anyone said it to his face he'd have them lashed for their insolence. Indeed a sad excuse of a man.
However, he was indeed a cunning man. Cowards always tended to be like that in the end.
The two of them quickly arrived at a room, that was full of people, that were moving around computers and other gadgets that were glowing with light and producing all sorts of images and sounds.
Arriving at the room, he headed to a chair that was in the center of the room. The buzz of sound in the room ebbed to a quiet hush as they all awaited orders from him.
”Send out an order, I want all members that are on the world: Mayhem Amusement Park, to go and track down someone that has cleared the Hag's Lair, find out who's obtained the Legacy of Angelette. I order it in the name of Stranior Unlifair Archbishop of the Knight of the Goddess,” his voice boomed through the room and the people all assented to his demands.
The woman behind him with the chilling features just watched them thinking them no greater than vermin. However, it was true this woman was indeed strong she was a level hundred and fifty warrior.
The mysterious man was indeed the one that Alice had promised to kill, although, she didn't realize the storm that was coming her way. Neither did Stranior known that he would be facing a fearsome foe.
