After Spyro gave up, many people were happy and sad at the same moment. They were happy to see this detestable man lose.
While they were also sad that Spyro wouldn't teach a lesson to Azaroth.
In their eyes, one was a pretentious fellow, and the other was an arrogant bastard. If they could deal with both of them at the same time, it would have been perfect.
Alas, heavens rarely acted on people's wishes. It was unpredictable and merciless.
Noah sheathed his sword and turned back towards his seat.
Spyro suddenly spoke out, "What is your name?"
Noah didn't reply. He disdained to talk to this individual. He felt that this man didn't deserve to even know his name.
Spyro didn't mind how Noah ignored him.
"You should join the Stony Rock Sect. With your talent, it won't be an issue for you to become a core disciple and personally be taught by the sect master." Spyro informed Noah genuinely.
However, Noah didn't even give that offer a second thought. He said to Azaroth with a devoted look, "He won't trouble you anymore, Boss."
"Good." Azaroth praised Noah with a small smile on his face.
When Spyro saw how Noah and Azaroth were ignoring him completely, he couldn't help but grow angry. Not just for himself but for his sect and his master.
Now, he had used the name of his sect and offered Noah a chance, but even then, he had been ignored.
He soon focused on Azaroth and spoke to him, "Who are you? What is your identity?"
"My identity?" Azaroth spoke while he stared at Spyro. There was a thin smile as he replied, "You aren't qualified to know about it."
Spyro was triggered by those words. He understood that Azaroth was looking down on him because he lost to Noah.
But it had to be known that Noah was truly a monstrous talent. He knew there was no way he could win against Noah because he had comprehended Sword Domain. However, this didn't mean Azaroth could look down on him.
He released some bit of his aura and targeted Azaroth. According to his senses, Azaroth and his comrades were 2 Star Warriors.
And he believed that Noah wasn't the weakest but actually the strongest within their party.
These people were lying to make fun of him.
Azaroth felt that pathetic aura trying to pressure him.
'I have been waiting for it.'
Azaroth suddenly flared up his aura for a second.
This one second felt like a long time to Spyro. He felt as if the weight of the entire world was on his body. His body froze due to fear, and his knees lost any strength to hold his weight.
Before Spyro even realized it, he was lying on the floor, completely dumbfounded at what had happened.
It was only a few moments later he understood that the one he was targeting was definitely 4 Star Warrior or even 5 Star Warrior.
Once Spyro was on the ground, Azaroth stood up and spoke, "Let's get out of here. There is no use staying here."
With that, all his retainers followed him out of the pub.
Azaroth had already left behind a couple of Spirit Coins as a payment for the food.
The men who were betting with Sargan breathed out a relieved sigh. Atleast they won't lose any income.
Zinon and his peer went to pick up Spyro. They saw a distraught look on Spyro's face.
Not understanding what to say, they decided to remain quiet for some time.
Spyro spoke while clenching his fists, "To think someone in this city would dare to suppress me. Even if that guy is a 5 Star Warrior, he will pay for this insolence."
Sargan was already thinking of informing his master about this incident. He had to ask his master to get justice for him.
Azaroth and his retainers were now making their way to a local inn. Sargan spotted Zinon and Spyro coming out of the pub. The two saw them entering the inn.
Once they entered the inn, Sargan neared Azaroth and whispered, "…They saw us entering this inn. We should change our residence."
Azaroth though shook his head negatively and replied, "That's precisely I chose this inn. I wanted them to know where I lived."
There was a scheming smile on his face.
Sargan failed to understand what Azaroth was planning. But he knew that it wouldn't be anything good for Spyro and his sect.
~~
Meanwhile, in the Sinyalian Kingdom, Edwin met up with many Mayors and Noble Family Heads and their descendants under the identity of an array master.
Rein Schwarz decided to bet on Edwin and allocated him an array master's badge without even testing him. Naturally, this badge was of the lowest possible rank. However, Edwin didn't care.
He had come to possess it without revealing his identity.
The first task he was assigned was to repair a Noble Family's Spiritual Gathering Array.
This task was assigned by Marquis Barret. The man was quite influential within the entire Kingdom because he supplied the raw materials for the alchemy association and the royal family.
The supply had recently decreased, but Marquis Barret reassured everyone that the situation would be back to normal.
However, after checking out Marquis Barret's territory, he was surprised that he didn't sense the presence of herbs. He did sense the herbs in the herbal garden, but they weren't enough to meet the Royal Family and the Alchemy Association requirements.
He recognized that the Barret Family's position was far from ideal. Furthermore, they appeared to be refurbishing their Spiritual Gathering Array at an exorbitant cost to train warriors.
Even to an outsider, it was extremely clear that the Barret Family was in the middle of a crisis right now.
They needed to switch their policies to even think about surviving this situation.
Edwin decided to ask for some bit of time from them to repair their array. During this time, he was investigating just what had caused them to fall so greatly.
He hadn't heard of any bandit incident or even the tactics used by the enemies in Barret Family's territory. And where were they growing those herbs?
Azaroth had checked out those herbs, and he knew that they had some outrageous conditions to grow. Those herbs would swallow the resources of an entire area.
He found it difficult to believe that the barret family could keep such a location hidden in their territory.
However, even after searching for quite some time, he found no such location in the Barret Family's territory.
'Interesting.'
Edwin smiled cleverly. He understood what this meant. The Barret Family was growing those herbs in some other territory.
Now, the situation grew a lot simpler for Edwin.
All he had to do was look at which territories had grown to prominence in recent years as the Barret Family's condition deteriorated.
After a few days, Edwin had a smile behind his mask as he thought 'Found it. So it's The City of Vanta. This city rose to prominence after the Golden Mayor, Shun Gordon, took command over it 3 years ago. However, it's worth noting that a few days after Shun Gordon took command over it, he broke the trade relations with the Barret Family's territory. Not only that, a diplomat sent by the Barret Family returned in defeat.'
Edwin was more or less sure of his guess.. Once he acted on it, he would know if he was right or not.
