THE LORD OF THE OTHER WORLD

Chapter 31: Hidden Tricks

Under direct orders by the king, Lily and her group get permission to immediately conduct an investigation. Speaking of detection ability, in this case they handed the task of investigation to Kim, one of the Mavis shadow servants who has the ability to control the mind, and the, he can see deep into his memory.

The upper echelons were silent and resigned to what the king wanted, even though some of them were displeased and humiliated, they still remain cooperative as Kim is conducting a thorough examination of each of them.

A moment of time passed and more than half of the people present in the room had been checked out, the protest was finally carried out by one of the upper echelons who felt this examination was not necessary and was a waste of time. According to him there is not enough time anymore, considering the conditions out there are very precarious and require serious treatment as soon as possible, if not want this problem to get worse. The upper echelon, named Toban, with a smiling face, asked the king to allow him to leave the room.

Everyone present at the meeting must have found the awkwardness in the nature and behavior shown by the man. He was, in effect, the upper echelon of the kingdom that entered the circle of the youngest generation and was always under the influence of the older ones. He who is usually just an echelon who always acts passive and also obedient. Who would have thought, at this time people like that even dared to make a request to the king with his calm character, imagine, so strange right?

Sensing something similar, Samantha quietly began to use her abilities and narrowed the range of her lightening abilities. The focus this time is only on one Toban, confirming whether the man is actually an undercover intruder or not. In addition, Kim who also felt similar things began to have the initiative by walking closer to Toban.

"I'm sure it's him." Moments before Kim reached Toban's position, Samantha identified him, sending a telepathic message to all her friends in the room. In response to Samantha's remarks, Kim immediately threw his secret weapon in the form of a sharp needle right toward Toban's forehead.

"So, you guys are really troublesome." Soon Toban activated one of the rescue skills and turned into a dense cloud of ash, dodging the attack launched by Kim, then again taking a foothold a few meters from behind him.

"Imust be!"

Everyone present agreed with what the Ugo adviser had just said. They were all equally shocked to see this extremely sudden change, no one thought that the person who was a few minutes ago talking to them suddenly changed and took the form of another person. Even Ugo himself who was a red-plotted witch, failed to notice it.

Now the middle-aged man's body was slowly shrinking and looked like that of a twenty-year-old man. Her hair was white and short, her eyes were sharp, and a small black tattoo with a wajik was seen in the middle of her forehead. For a moment he smiled slightly, then circulated his gaze towards the shadow creatures present with mocking intent.

"As expected of the mysterious entities intended by Mr. Paris." The man increasingly exuded an indescribably bright aura, as well as a mist began to be seen circling his body. He looked like a holy man and was full of the grace of a god, but at the same time the shadow creatures can clearly know that the person is nothing but a real scorner! The holy aura that gave suppression, signified that countless figures had killed innocent people and committed other heinous crimes. He was one of the people from the holy temple! The gathering place of rotten and despicable people.

The priest from the holy temple put on a grinning expression while exerting his fingers in the void, like a man pulling some threads. Soon, it did not take long for the indescribable scene to just happen, fresh blood began to scatter among the royal higher-ups, soaking their extremely luxurious and expensive-looking clothes.

Hysterical cries were heard immediately, the upper echelons of the kingdom began to scatter with trembling legs, among which even some could not move or stagger fell due to shock and fear. On the other hand the king who watched from above the throne shuddered and could not help but stand up.

In a matter of seconds almost half of the upper echelon of the kingdom fell. They exploded like bombs, not knowing for sure what kind of cunning tricks had been prepared by the messenger from the holy temple. To the extent that the shadow creatures no one noticed it.

"Protect His Majesty!"

The atmosphere at that time was very boisterous and uncontrollable, until one day the unexpected momentum came. Suddenly there was a loud voice coming from the direction within the crowd of the upper echelons of the kingdom. A middle-aged man with a bent face pulled a sword from his pocket and started walking closer towards the king. Seen from the view of the shadow creatures, the man looked much different when compared to the upper echelons of other kingdoms. The man has courage and loyalty that is so felt, besides that his appearance is also very striking. The man was wearing clothes that tended to be more ordinary and simple, if only Mavis had been present in the room, he would have been happy to see her. Why so? Because Mavis has a habit that is not much different, namely she is more concerned with comfort in terms of dress than her splendor.

"Lord of Aragon, thankfully you survived!" The King said as he breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering the arrival of one of the upper echelons of the kingdom as well as the friend he trusted so much. "What about Dorothy, why don't you show up with her?"

"Dorothy? He survived and is currently still in the middle of the crowd...."

"Tu-wait...!"

"Your Majesty! Now is not the time for you to worry about other people, think about your safety first!" said the Lord of Aragon in such a resolute tone, his face could not be calm, considering the current situation was very critical.

"Ugo, why are you just standing in a place like a statue? Immediately take His Majesty away and find a safe refuge! Also, send a message to the soldiers to gather all the adventurers who were around the meeting hall, now!"
