Chapter 35 (2/2)

〖 Noah, what do you think Chris will do if they know that I am currently in a ‘dormant’ period? 〗Negary asked Noah.

〖 His job is no longer to simply save Isabella and her daughter, he would also want to defeat me if possible. And when he found that it was impossible by himself, he would naturally seek out reinforcements 〗Negary didn’t wait for Noah to reply and answered by himself: 〖 This reinforcement could come from the warriors and priests from the Church of Divine Grace, they could also be the military force of the Interkam Kingdom, or the Royas Kingdom’s spies, or any of the other forces here 〗

〖 During the development of Reystromia, we have accepted too many outside forces, causing quite a few things in Reya to slowly leave our control. Even with the [Diffuse] germs, there are still forces that have yet to come to light 〗

〖 And so, this is a chance. A chance to remove the unnecessary forces from Reya, a chance to extend our range of influence. At the same time, these disorderly forces need a chance, and I’m giving them that chance, together with an illusion that they would need to join together in order to eliminate me 〗

〖 Chris is a talented man, he would fit perfectly as the leader of this temporary joint operation 〗Negary slowly explained.

“So the reason my Lord entrusted the Bizarre Scales to Yadley was to give them pressure. Is my Lord not afraid that Chris would be killed by the Bizarre Scales?” Noah understood Negary’s intentions and expressed his worry for Chris.

〖 If he can’t survive, then he simply doesn’t have what it takes to become the leader of the joint operation. If he dies, then he dies 〗Negary said without a care.

…

Tesa and Chris’ fight had brought them to another street entirely, and Chris couldn’t help but admit that this woman was tough.

Her rapier was incredibly accurate, coupled with her inhuman speed, made it so that Chris had to focus almost entirely on avoiding her attacks. Even so, he was still wounded all over his body with wounds that constantly bled.

“Hah hah hah…” Tesa was breathing heavily. As expected of the legendary adventurer, thanks to his [Respiratory Art], his strength was extremely well-balanced. Even when she had relied on her superior physical prowess and the advantage of having a weapon to press on the attack, she only managed to deal minor wounds to him. If this goes on, she might actually lose.

“I definitely won’t let that happen!” Tesa stopped pressing her attack, bit and ripped the back of her right hand without hesitation to let her blood and the tar-like [Black Crow] germs flow down along her rapier.

“Each and every one of you, what terrifying charms ‘he’ has, that Negary” Chris sighed. Just a few seconds ago, Negary’s faint ominous rhythm had disappeared, as if it was hidden away. This caused Chris to know that he couldn’t keep letting this drag on, otherwise, he would miss the best chance to defeat Negary.

But I won’t be able to do it by myself

Chris glanced at his opponent, Tesa, and couldn’t help but have such a thought. If all of Negary’s subordinates were as powerful as the ones he had met, it was unimaginable how powerful Negary himself was.

Looks like I’ll need some reinforcements
