Chapter 51 - The Mysterious Herald (2/2)
Cultivate to the 3rd rank warrior demanded a lot of resources and time, so if the empire were able to create more than ten thousand 3rd rank warrior instantly with just potions, imagine how powerful that empire would be.
Henry knew the danger of the potions as well as the creed of the influences within the Egul continent which was why he created the Eye to spy on every nation within the continent just in case they were trying to make a move against him. Each of the members of the Eye had the strength of a minimum 3rd rank warrior, even though they were mages or void mages. It did not take long before Henry had made them one of the most powerful organizations in the continent until they had a fallout and turned against him.
Some believe his followers wanted him to unite the whole continent under his banner while Henry did not care about that but his research. Just like Henry was wary of the powers within the continent, the influences within the continent were wary of him as well. As such, they had implanted many spies within his organizations. Because of that, they were able to uncover many things about Henry which lead them to two conclusions. One was that Henry came from the center of the Eidrin world, and the second was that he came from a different world entirely.
After Henry had left the Eye that he had created, he went on to live in hiding. There he found love and have children, Before he died, he had left a book that most believed contained his secrets as well as the locations of his treasures.
Unfortunately, the book had landed into the Eye's current master. luckily he wasn't able to understand as it was written into a language that only Henry understood. As Such the Master of The Eye had come up with his long scheme of splitting the book into 5th parts and made sure each of them fell into the hand of one of the most powerful families with each of the four Empire.
Only a handful of people were aware of that fact but they played stupid and let the master of the Eye carried out his plot while waiting quietly to snatch the food from the tiger's jaws. However, After the Eye's master was taking back all the copies that he had purposely released, it alarmed all the people that were aware of that plot and they began to take action.
”There are many ways that one can extract information from someone, I just need to bring you back alive In Kalin city and my old man will get that information out of you.”
As soon as he said that, Herald walked in big strides toward the men in a black cloak, as if a dragon or tiger. His body suddenly released an oppressive pressure.
” With that meager skill of yours, Let me show you why I am the 5th Eye.”
As the 5th Eye said that, He sliglty raise his hand and a huge blue magic circle materialized, at the same time, ten long swords came out of them and flew towards Herald at a lightning speed.
5th Eye's swords were too fast. it was so fast that even Herald who was a peak 8th class fire mage had trouble seeing the trajectories. Even if one could see the moves of the other party, it did not mean that one could dodge the attacks.
~Cha~Cha~Cha~
In a split moment, dozens of swords beam pierced through Herald's body. Before the 5th eye could even cry in victory, he saw Herald's figure slowly dissipate before completely vanishing.
” 5th Eye, also known as a hundred blades. The fifth most powerful void mage within the Eye. I know about your ability, do you think I was going to expose myself to you like that without making some preparation ahead of time.” Hearld's voice reverberated behind the dense trees that were on top of the mountain.
