Headquarters of Memento Mori…
"I'm sure that all of you are aware of the reason why I have summoned you here," the Sovereign of Memento Mori said.
"It's about Hereswith's Disciple, right?" an Old Necromancer inquired.
The Sovereign nodded.
The Old Necromancer sighed. "Even if we wanted to help, what can we do? Back then, we also wanted to help her Grand Disciple, Lux, but are we capable of helping? The answer is no. We are still weakened, and if we go there, I'm sure that the Divine Army will have a field day as they kill us all."
The High-Ranking members of the organization nodded their heads in agreement.
"Even if we send Dillon, what can he do alone?" a wrinkled old man commented. "The Stars of Calamity still hadn't returned. We don't have enough manpower to do anything."
An awkward silence fell in the surroundings before a blue-haired Necromancer spoke.
"Do you think Gaap's disciple will come to save him?"
Everyone's gaze landed on the blue-haired Necromancer, but the latter held their gaze with a calm expression on his face.
"Dillon, what do you think?" a wrinkled old man asked the only Necromancer who could possibly help save Gaap from getting executed.
"I think you guys are sending me on a suicide mission," Dillon replied. "But I don't mind going. If there is an opportunity to save him, I will do my best. However, don't expect too much. The moment I make a move, it will be hard for me to escape from the Divine Empire."
An old lady smiled. "I'm pretty sure that the Divine Army set up this trap mainly to capture Gaap's Disciple. However, I also think that they might also expect some of our members to appear. It's like hitting two birds with one stone."
All the Necromancers nodded because this was indeed the case.
"Very well. Dillon, I assign you with the task of going to the Divine Empire and doing what you can do," the wrinkled old man commanded. "However, if there is really no hope, don't do anything. If Gaap's Disciple appears, do your best to ensure that he doesn't die a stupid death. It is the least we can do for Hereswith's Legacy."
Dillon nodded. "Very well. I will now make preparations. Since the execution is supposed to take place on the day of their founding anniversary, their security will be at the highest level. Can I take a few things from our treasury? I'm sure that they will increase my chances of survival."
The Old Man didn't hesitate and nodded his head. "I will allow you to take three items from the treasury. Remember, no more than three."
"Understood," Dillon nodded before leaving the room.
In his heart, the only thing he could do was sigh.
'It feels like what happened in the Ancestral Lands happened only yesterday,' Dillon thought. 'Now, the one who needs saving has been reversed. Instead of the Disciple getting saved by his Master, it is now the Master who should be saved by his Disciple.'
Another sigh escaped Dillon's lips as he headed towards the Treasury.
In his mind, at least one of the two with Hereswith's Legacy must survive no matter what. If he couldn't save Gaap, he would certainly do everything in his power to save Lux.
The roars of countless Monsters spread in the surroundings.
Keane, Gerhart, and Cethus were doing their best to fight against the Beast Tide, which was threatening to destroy the one and only city of a budding Kingdom, which was just recently established.
Not far from the three of them was an army of Dwarves, led by the Guildmaster of Eternal, Aina.
When Lux went to the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands, he had asked Dracul if there were any Beast Tides that were happening in the territories that he knew.
A few minutes after that, the Vampire Noble told him about the recently founded Xeno Kingdom, which was located in the Northwest of Elysium.
Using the Teleportation of the Ancestral Lands as a springboard, the Half-Elf arrived at his destination.
To his surprise, the Xeno Kingdom was actually a Kingdom of Dwarves.
But there was even a bigger surprise that awaited him.
The ruler of the Xeno Kingdom was actually Aina's and Colette's father, Victor Goldenslayer.
The irony was that after the Kingdom was founded, a Beast Tide threatened to end its existence.
Naturally, this was something that the Goldenslayer Family wouldn't allow.
Aina's father was a Saint, but he was the only Saint in their Kingdom.
The rest of his subordinates were all High-Rankers, and what they were about to deal with was an S-Class Beast Tide.
An S-Class Beast Tide meant that the leader of the pack was a Calamity-Ranked World Boss.
Because of this, they needed all the help they could get.
Unfortunately, after establishing a Kingdom of his own, Aina's father was forced to cut his connections with the Royal Family of Solais and brought all of his retainers to Elysium.
He was a Duke and was related to the current King of their Kingdom by blood.
His cousin, the King, wanted to use the Xeno Kingdom as his own foothold in Elysium.
Knowing that this would lead to conflict and thinking that there was a huge possibility that all of the effort and resources he spent to build the Xeno Kingdom would be down the drain once they snatched the Kingdom from his hands, Victor decided to cut ties with the Royal Family.
Naturally, this angered the Royal Family, and they demanded that he change his mind. But who was Victor? He was someone who wouldn't allow others to share the pie that he had painstakingly baked for him and his family.
Want to kick me out of my own kingdom?
No, thank you!
Simply put, Victor had burned the bridge that connected him to the Dwarven Kingdom in Solais.
With this move of his, none of the members of the Royal Family, the Nobles, or their Armies, could step foot in the Xeno Kingdom as they didn't even know its location in Elysium.
Just as they were wondering how they were going to survive the Beast Tide, Lux appeared alongside his friends and immediately helped to exterminate the monsters that threatened to wipe the Xeno Kingdom from the face of Elysium.
"Father, did you see that?" Colette, who was standing beside her father on an elevated platform asked. "That's my Big Brother! The one that I kept telling you about!"
"The one that you keep insisting that I make Aina's husband?" Victor asked back.
"Yes! Isn't he amazing?"
"Hmph!"
Although Victor was indeed grateful for Lux's help, he just wouldn't casually say "Okay, let's have the two of them marry!"
As someone who spoiled both Aina and Colette, since they were his daughters, he would never allow just anyone to marry them without getting his permission.
Just as Victor was observing the battle from his location, an ear-piercing screech was heard from the rear of the Beast Tide.
The Calamity-Ranked World Boss had finally made its appearance, and with this, the King of the Xeno Kingdom took to the skies in order to battle it.
