176 Reasons for Betrayal (1/2)

Yale appeared beside Shirk, and just after that, Sebe and Wyba also appeared there.

Just before the attack hit them, Yale put Wyba and Sebe in the Storage Space and then he used teleportation to reach Shirk's side.

Shirk and Sebe didn't understand what just happened and had puzzled looks on their faces.

”We are still too near; we can talk later.”

Yale said that using his Spiritual Sense, although that was safer than speaking, someone at the Grandmaster Rank could easily detect that someone was using the Spiritual Sense.

Fortunately, that guard wasn't using his Spiritual Sense to scan the area, or they would have been found and caught in seconds.

”They were too weak. They were reduced to ashes by a single attack. Maybe it is just that I am too strong. Since I already started this, I must provoke the panic in the city to compensate for the lack of Sebe's corpse.”

The guard started to laugh madly before leaving while casting balls of fire to the nearby houses.

The shoots of the guard were too random; he would have needed heaven-defying luck to hit Yale's group directly in that situation. There were still residual flames near the group, but as those were already normal flames and not an attack from someone at the Grandmaster Rank, Sebe could defend the group easily.

There was a huge difference between an attack and the after effects left in the area by the attack, as long the attack itself didn't hit, there was no danger to Sebe.

Although Sebe protected the other, there was no need; Yale and Wyba could easily neutralize the hot with ice, such remnant flames wouldn't be able to melt the ice of a Frost Winged Wolf.

Sebe knew that probably Yale and Wyba didn't need it due to their bloodline, but Shirk seemed vulnerable in his eyes. Sebe didn't understand well the huge improvement on Shirk's strength; after the modification on his body, those flames could at most felt a bit warm to Shirk because he had obtained an incredible resistance to hot and cold.

”He is gone. We can't lose time; a huge battle will start in the palace at any moment.”

Usually, anyone who said that would be considered a fool, but in the current situation, a fool would be the one who didn't think that there was some complot related with the eldest prince.

”How did you save us?”

Sebe knew that the situation wasn't for a chitchat, but he was able to remain calm and wanted to understand well their strength. He thought that if Yale were able to do the same without restrictions, it would be a great trump card in their current situation when they were clearly lacking in power.

”I teleported us to Shirk's side. I had put a mark on his token earlier, but I can only do it withina short range.”

Yale didn't plan to hide the teleportation from Sebe; there were items for teleportation, so Yale thought that Sebe would think he was using something like that and not his own power.

”I see. Then, did Shirk also knew about this from the start?”

Sebe knew that Shirk wasn't near them with a mark to help them to escape by coincidence, it was obvious that Yale and Shirk had planned it together to save him.

”He knew it. Don't feel bad, but because we didn't have enough proofs, we couldn't tell you.”

Sebe felt a bit excluded, but he knew that Yale was telling the truth, there was no way he would have believed that his eldest brother would betray the kingdom and one of his men would try to kill him.

”Alright, I understand your reasons for not telling me. After this problem ended, you two will need to explain to me everything with details. Now follow me, we need to reach the temple's entrance as soon as possible.”

They were considered dead, so they advanced like Shirk had done before instead of walking openly by the street; they didn't understand why the eldest prince's guards weren't using their Spiritual Sense to scan the whole area, but that was perfect for Yale's group.

There wasn't any guard near them, Yale had confirmed it with his Mapping, but he decided to be careful as the opponents were far stronger than them and without Origin Link, their group would be doomed in a frontal battle.

Yale didn't dare to summon Tar, summoning him to solve an internal matter of the Anpaes Kingdom would provoke a war, that would just help the eldest prince's interests.
