Seeing Huma's death, Yirel was not surprised at all, rather he had already heard about how frightening the power possessed by these 3 Daran people was.
According to the god he followed, among all the strongest rank 1 powers in the world right now then Daran was among the top 3 positions, besides Daran was also very close to the position of god.
The problem is that Daran gained that power without the help of any god, he did help the king of the Kingdom of Sanctus to become the 3 largest kingdoms owned by humans, but he was never loyal to the king. Perhaps it could be said that they were friends, therefore Daran decided to help him, so, in exchange for Daran's help, King Sanctus V decided to give a lot of property and honor to 3 Daran people in his palace.
More recently Daran's relationship with King Sanctus V deteriorated because the king feared Daran would take his power because the royal population respected Daran more than he did.
Not only was the King of Sanctus V afraid, some of the major gods of goodness also thought that Daran was the one they could not control the most, so the gods decided to pass the death sentence on to Daran secretly.
The gods of goodness should not intervene directly on this matter, otherwise the evil god might take advantage of this problem to disrupt the loyalties of rank 1 and 2 generals loyal to the gods in order to switch allegiances because the gods of goodness killed a rank 1 general without excuses.
After thinking for a while, they decided to trap Daran.
The people who participated in the assassination and were appointed by the gods of goodness Huma, Yirel, and King Sanctus V who were already worried about Daran's position.
Huma and Yirel who worked together though could not kill Daran, moreover he was followed by 2 rank 1 followers.
This made them decide to wear King Sanctus V who separated Daran from 2 colleagues and poisoned Daran by taking him to a dinner party between the leader of the Kingdom of Sanctus and the Kingdom of Light.
Even strong poison is very difficult to kill Daran, therefore the poison can only make Daran weak for a while.
Even so, Yirel and Huma working together were enough to kill Daran.
When Daran was already weakened and heavily injured, everyone already thought that Daran must be dead. But who ever thought that Daran managed to escape, they did not know for sure where Daran fled, but certainly Daran went to Portus Aureus Province.
It was there that he met Elos by chance on the verge of death, and then the representative of the Kingdom of Light who tried to find Daran to meet Elos.
Yirel who knew that his condition was not good decided to turn around and run away, if he was 1 on 1 with Daran then he would have lost. Not to mention Daran was here with Frida, Letias, and Letta, there was no chance for him to win except to escape.
Before Yirel could go far, a magic wand fell on his shoulder and Letta's cold voice sounded from behind "Do you not know that in the middle of the fight, there was a magic wand, it's not good to distract from your opponent because it could mean death!".
Yirel's face changed because he could feel the powerful magic aura of Letta's wand, now the protection of Elos was no doubt with the existence of Daran, so Letta did not need to hold back anymore to fight Yirel.
"Crushing Dimension", before Yirel could turn around completely then the entire surrounding dimension began to crack.
"No! I, Yirel a level 1 general cannot die in this place, I should be a part of the god-", Yirel could not finish his words because he had been absorbed by the dimensional hole that finally closed again.
After Yirel was successfully absorbed in the dimensional hole, Letta wiped the sweat that fell from her face. However using this ability consumed a lot of Letta's strength, he needed to rest for a while for his strength to return. Even so, the possibility of Yirel still alive now was almost nonexistent, when one was thrown into the dimensional crack then the pressure there would destroy the person's body. Except for the gods, the living creatures that were in the middle of the dimensional crack must have died.
Daran who observed Letta's ability could not help but say full of appreciation "A very frightening magic, the special warrior belonging to Lord of the Urmur Labyrinth indeed never disappoints. Though you are the weakest special soldier, but your strength is already this big. I was very curious, so how frightening was the power of Hergaf who gained the top 3 among the special soldiers of the Master of the Urmur Labyrinth".
Letta who was wiping off her sweat and walking towards Elos smiled politely "Master Daran overestimated my strength, when compared to Lord Daran then I must have died with just 5 sword slashes from Lord Daran! I don't mean to belittle Mr. Daran, if Mr. Daran is now fighting Miss Hergaf then it's just like an ant trying to fight a god, there's no chance of winning".
"You're right, it seems that I still have a lot to learn" Daran said with a smile, not angry that Letta thought of him as an ant in front of Hergaf.
Elos who was beside Daran from earlier asked "Daran, what are you going to do now? I'm sure you can't go back to your kingdom after this incident, otherwise your kingdom's name is the Kingdom of Sanctus isn't it?".
Hearing Elos' question, Daran smiled bitterly "That's not my kingdom, I've only lived there for many years, more precisely since my friend has changed then I never go back there again. Even so, I always went to various other kingdoms to take a look, even I came here to try to fight Master of the Labyrinth. However I am already very close to the power of the gods, I only need 1 more push to stand in the line of the gods. The problem is 1 this push is very difficult, maybe I can't achieve it for tens to hundreds of years".
"What is most important now is to find a place to live, since I fought the gods I have no place left, unless I am ready to be pursued relentlessly by the followers of the gods. I might have to go to a corner of the world, or take a walk in a territory that doesn't belong to the gods".
"What if you stay at my place?" said Elos "However you've protected me this time, therefore giving you shelter is only a small matter. You can be in my territory until you find your true abode, nor do I mind if you will continue to live in my territory as long as you follow the rules that already exist".
The smile on Daran's face disappeared, he stared at Elos sharply "Are you not afraid?".
"Why be afraid?", asked Elos puzzledly.
"There is a rank 1 who is not loyal to the master living near Lord Elos, I may be able to kill Lord Elos at any time" Daran said.
"In this world, it is not only you who are grateful, I am also knowingly grateful" Elos said repeating Daran's earlier words.
Daran still hesitates "But it's too risky to-".
Before Daran could finish his words, Elos patted Daran on the shoulder and said "Alright, I don't accept rejection anymore, you should go to my territory to stay for a while! After we return later, I will take you to eat the best food in town as a thank you for protecting me from dying today".
Without waiting for Daran's reply again, Elos turned around and returned to check if Riona and Kronev had any injuries, Elos immediately left as well so that Daran would not give any more rejections.
Looking at Elos who left without receiving any rejection, Daran could only smile without being able to say anything more, if he continued to refuse then it was the same as he underestimated Elos' gratitude so that he could only accept it.
