Chapter 1775 - 1194: I’ll Do My Best
"Five against one, can’t we even retrieve the item?"
At this moment, the "Giant Soldier" looked nothing like a revered master of the magical world, instead resembling a grumpy old man throwing a tantrum.
Of course, the usual "Giant Soldier" wasn’t like this, but once it involved magical technology and knowledge, this old man became unusually obsessive, almost bordering on madness.
"The Fire Princess" and others failing to bring back the crucial material he desperately wanted to study was enough to drive him insane.
The group, knowing his temperament, didn’t mind, merely exchanging glances with some showing indifference, some nodding in agreement, while others remained silent, each exhibiting different reactions.
No choice, at that time, "The Fire Princess" and two others had a fierce argument about it.
"The Tyrant" was just like "Giant Soldier," believing that once something was taken away, it should be retrieved by force.
"The Ba Serpent" neither approved nor opposed, seemingly indifferent to the outcome.
"The Fire Princess" sternly opposed.
Because at that time, she had used her unique magic to grasp the situation occurring on Reiger’s side.
She saw the uncontrollable Charity, the defeat of "Gigaton" lying miserably in a pool of blood, and even witnessed Reiger showcasing unbelievable abilities, defeating the immensely powerful post-possession Charity.
Thus, without saying more, she opposed "The Tyrant’s" proposal and resolutely chose to retreat.
Given the situation at that time, if she hadn’t retreated, she felt that the three of them might have been unable to escape.
Thanks to this, before Reiger opened the [Portal] back to the temple and before the High Priest could promptly return through space magic, the three remaining Holy Envoys managed to retreat successfully.
If they had been any slower, they would have been stopped by the High Priest, who returned first.
"Enough."
Seeing "Giant Soldier" still wanting to vent his dissatisfaction, the foremost "Sky Hunt" finally spoke again.
"Since we can’t get hold of it, just let it go."
"Sky Hunt" surprisingly gave up on this matter decisively.
"Are you just going to give up like that?"
"Giant Soldier" was slightly stunned, feeling a bit unwilling.
"Although it’s precious, it doesn’t affect what we need to do next, nor does it help us." "Sky Hunt" spoke coldly, "It is the last Divine Power of the ’God’ that people lost, remaining in this world. If obtained, there might be a future possibility of using that power to open a passage to another world."
"But since we can’t acquire it, let’s temporarily abandon it."
"Once our revolution succeeds, Reiger Brillhaut will be nothing more than an ant under the holy beast’s feet, easily crushed."
"At that time, we can take it from his corpse."
After speaking, "Sky Hunt" shifted the topic.
"Why haven’t ’Ice Maiden’ and ’Gigaton’ appeared?"
Everyone looked towards "The Fire Princess" at "Sky Hunt’s" words.
"...Those two won’t be coming back."
"The Fire Princess" struggled to keep her voice steady, but everyone could still sense the hidden emotions.
There was worry, a sigh, bitterness, and helplessness, all very complex.
"...Is that so?"
"Sky Hunt" stared fixedly at "The Fire Princess" for a while, then surprisingly stopped pursuing the matter.
Two Holy Envoys not returning to the temple was undoubtedly a big deal.
Yet, at this critical juncture, losing two Holy Envoys wasn’t an unacceptable situation.
After all, all conditions had already been met, and the plan could finally be executed.
For this, losing two Holy Envoys was nothing; as long as "Giant Soldier," the technical expert, remained, losing all other Holy Envoys wasn’t a big deal for "Sky Hunt."
In short, at this point, everyone except "Giant Soldier" had fulfilled their duties.
To put it more bluntly...they had already lost their usefulness.
"Since ’Ice Maiden’ and ’Gigaton’ don’t plan on returning, our plan should commence immediately."
"Sky Hunt" only cared about this matter.
Assuming ’Ice Maiden’ and ’Gigaton’ had betrayed them, disclosing all known information to Reiger Brillhaut and the people of the Hidden Land, then the temple’s purpose was exposed, no longer allowing further delays.
Even though those people were trapped in the Hidden Land, supposedly unable to come out again, to avoid any unexpected occurrences, he still wanted to complete the plan as soon as possible.
"Giant Soldier, how are the preparations?"
"Sky Hunt" no longer concerned himself with other matters, asking the "Giant Soldier" beside him in a deep voice.
"Preparations are complete, ready to begin at any time."
Although still feeling somewhat unwilling, since "Sky Hunt" had spoken, he could only hope that the kid would die soon, so he could retrieve the treasure from his body.
The sole force left by the "God" in this world?
A portal to another world?
These deeply attracted him, making him eager to begin the research.
The reason he was initially persuaded by "Sky Hunt" to join the temple and help with the crazy plan was because "Sky Hunt" had so many things that intrigued him.
Especially the Abyssal Aura, that abyss-like unfathomable mystery, filled him with excitement.
He wanted to know where this power originated from and what awaited him there to uncover.
For this, even if the entire Akasha continent was engulfed in war, he was willing to pursue it.
"Very well."
"Sky Hunt" nodded, then glanced around.
"Let’s begin immediately."
"Gentlemen"
"Prepare for the final war."
Everyone present stood up one after another.
"Yes!"
...
Hidden Land, Temple.
In one of the temple’s rooms, after the commotion had mostly settled, the High Priest appeared here with some priests, Yuliari, and Leo.
Except for the High Priest, everyone else wore expressions of unwillingness and reluctance.
Especially Yuliari and Leo, glaring venomously at someone before them, as if wanting to strip a piece of flesh off him.
Unfortunately, that someone completely ignored their presence, only looking at his side.
Liz stood on his left, bowing silently in gratitude towards the High Priest and others.
Yuloli stood on his right, glancing around before closing her eyes as if letting go of attachment, no longer nostalgic.
Lilith stayed half a step behind Reiger, steadfastly maintaining the role of an attendant.
With them, the female Martial God, holding the Ice Holy Sword, swaying her icy blue hair, stood expressionlessly like Lilith, half a step away from Reiger, seemingly also assuming the role of attendant.
Sweeping a gaze over the four girls beside him one by one, Reiger’s eyes finally settled on the High Priest in front.
"Then, we’ll part ways here."
Reiger said.
Yes.
They were bidding farewell to the High Priest and others.
"Your Highness..."
The priests present, along with Yuliari and Leo, watched Liz with reluctance, but only received her apologetic gaze.
"Go on."
Only the High Priest seemed at peace with it.
"I have a premonition that after returning, you’ll accomplish something world-changing." The High Priest chuckled, "When you visit the Hidden Land again, you must share that experience with me?"
Hearing this, Reiger also smiled.
"I’ll do my best."
With that, Reiger raised his hand and cast the spell.
"[Wish Upon A Star]."
The three-dimensional celestial array expanded, enveloping Reiger’s group.
"Take us back to the Akasha Continent!"
Reiger made his wish, letting magic power surge like waves.
Soon enough, the light of magic illuminated the room.
By the time the light dimmed, Reiger and his group had left the Hidden Land, departing from that realm...
