The Legend Of Lyan 2

Zemus's restlessness

“Lyan ... she even defeated the man without using the form of transformation.”

Master Gyo had expected Lyan to defeat a Hermit of the Universe from the start, but he did not expect Lyan to be able to handle it so easily and develop so far. The strength of the young man had clearly already surpassed a realm that no human could reach.

While Light was at a loss for words to describe his disciple now who had far surpassed him. ‘I'm getting left behind him.’

After eliminating his dimensional space, Lyan brought the fainted Hex to where Master Gyo and Light were.

“Master, Master, did youl recently give you news about their situation.”

Lyan had already heard that Youl could send a message to them before he absorbed the soul crystal. He estimated that Youl had been continuing his communication with his two teachers.

“Recently Youl sent a message regarding their pretty good state there,” replied Master Gyo.

“Then we can delay for a while to meet them.” Lyan turned towards the unconscious Hex. “There's something I want to know from him.”

***

In the other half of the Light Continent, Zemus was seen flying at high speed in the air all by himself with a pale-looking face.

After his failure a few months ago to carry out Astaroth's duty to bring in someone who had a demonic odor, Zemus almost lost his master's trust.

In recent months, he has been given the task of searching for the man who caused the mysterious death of other tribes. But after a few months he still could not find any clue as to the culprit who caused all this. Bodies after new corpses continued to be found in some remote place of this continent. No eyewitness makes it even harder to get a clue.

Zemus sighed with a tense look. Today was the last day that Astaroth had given him to find the perpetrator. Zemus planned to use reason, but the problem was that during his stint with his troops, some people were secretly watching him.

Zemus was forced to let the man keep an eye on him because he realized the men were a shipment from one of the strongest tribal leaders. His position was being threatened so that nothing could be done at that time.

Zemus gulped his saliva when he arrived outside the Astaroth residence. Each step became increasingly heavy as it began to approach the entrance.

Suddenly, a woman laughed behind her. The old man's steps stopped.

“Can you shut your mouth?” Zemus seemed unhappy at the woman's presence. He was well aware of the woman who had sent people to watch over him all this time.

The beautiful woman with those purple eyeballs, Lilia, stopped her laughter.

“Ah, forgive me, Zemus. I just find it funny to see someone who failed to catch a rat a few months ago now again failed to run a small task.”

Veins came out from around Zemus' head. His hands clenched loudly hearing Lilia's ridicule that was clearly aimed at him.

But Zemus held back his anger considering his position was not benefited. “Lilia, what master asked you to watch over me?”

“No, it's of my own volition.” Lilia answered him casually without caring about the anger that was becoming more apparent on Zemus's countenance.

“You!” Zemus pointed at Lilia furiously.

“Dragon your attitude, Zemus. You are indeed part of us, but among the three of us you alone are the Sky Hermit.”

Lilia's sharp gaze exerted a strong pressure, making Zemus who ignited emotions speechless and immediately lowered his hand.

Zemus lowered his face while closing his teeth. Lilia's words made her heart pierced by the fact that she was not yet a Hermit of the Universe like the other two strongest tribe leaders.

Lilia who saw Zemus bowed while holding back her emotions resumed saying.

Zemus was speechless hearing Lilia bring up the matter a few months ago. The news of Hex appearing and disrupting his plan to arrest the man Astaroth was looking for was a lie made to defend his position.

Zemus at that time only thought of using the name Hex as a threat by papu tribal leaders to make him retreat. He is embarrassed to reveal the truth about a mysterious tiger that can defeat him easily.

In Zemus's heart now only wished the woman to leave immediately after she was content to lecture him. Bringing up the matter alone had already made him recall the face of the tiger that had humiliated him.

“But even so you don't have to worry, Zemus.”

Zemus raised his head.

“What do you mean?”

“I predicted you would fail this task. Therefore the people I sent not only I assigned to watch over you, but I also asked them to help in your search.”

“Don't play me, Lilia.”

“I don't have time to do such a boring thing, Zemus.” Lilia laughed softly, “You seem to be quite doubtful of my good intentions. Are you sure you don't need this information to pass on to Mr Astaroth?”

Zemus was silent for a moment. Rather than going home with empty information, it was better to trust the woman at this moment.

“What do you want me to do to pay for this information?”

Zemus realized that nothing is free in this world. Lilia must have wanted something from him as payment.

“I just want you to be able to maintain your position, Zemus. I'm helping you because right now no one deserves to replace your position.”

Zemus could feel the seriousness of Lilia's countenance. Although he was the weakest among the three strongest tribes, he was still the top one compared to the leaders of other tribes. Lilia quite disliked the leaders of the other tribes because their tier was nothing like Zemus at the moment.

“Alright, give me that information.”

Lilia began to provide information about the mysterious deaths of several tribes that occurred recently. From what her people reported, Lilia received information regarding the mastermind behind all this caused by two people moving towards the tip of the continent.

From the traits that Lilia gave, Zemus could estimate they were humans from other continents he had encountered, Lyan and Light.

‘That loser should have killed him that time immediately.’ Zemus saturate with a furious look. Had he not been deceived by Master Gyo back then, this kind of problem would have been impossible.

“Although you cannot find anyone who kills insects in remote areas, with that information at least master will forgive you for now.”

“Oh, I also spoke to the master to keep trusting you no matter what the outcome. So you don't have to worry about your position now.”

“Actually what do you want from me, Lilia?” Zemus realized very well that the woman could not possibly be this good at helping him without expecting anything.

Lilia smiled coldly.

“As long as you are busy with the task given sir. I was assigned to find the hiding place of an ancient tribe, Zemus. I have found their whereabouts now.”

Zemus's eyebrows shot upwards hearing the news just now.

“I need you and your army, Zemus. After your business is done with master, we will directly move together with other tribes to attack them.”
