''He is here!" He murmured with a pale face.
Silveria smiled as if to acknowledge cardinal Pendragon's words.
''Hahaha! We got it all wrong.'' Cardinal Pendragon said with a self-deprecating smile. It was ironic that they thought they had the initiative all along, but it never occurred to them that the boy known as Alexander Kael Touch was more than the eyes could meet. He was more intelligent than them; once he used his brain, he was more dangerous than his talent as a ranker. They thought he was going to the Far East Empire, but in truth, it was a lie; he misled them into thinking that he was heading to the Far East Empire; how did he do that? Did he think of all these plans himself?
He had to know. He knew his fate was sealed, he would die here, but even he had to know, it would be like granting him his last wish before his death.
''Did he create these plans on his own?" Finally unable to endure the burning curiosity, Pendragon asked; he expected Silveria not to satisfy his demand, but unexpectedly she responded.
''Yes, nobody gave him those ideas. I was quite shocked when he came up with so many ideas. To tell you the truth, I was excited. My master is smart, he could do a lot of things if he put his mind to it, but for some unknown reason, he seemed to be hesitating, almost as if he was restraining himself, as if he was afraid of something. I don't know what he is afraid of, but I found it wasteful not to use such a brilliant mind. When I thought the situation would never change, you guys unexpectedly provoked the beast, and he got awakened. I'm grateful to you guys, after this, he would be the same anymore. It is exactly what we needed; a soft-hearted master would die while a calculative one capable of alternating between gentleness and cruelness is welcomed.''
Cardinal Pendragon widened his eyes; from Silveria's casual speech, he learned a lot of things; for example, this mysterious woman, this mighty woman, was under that boy. He also learned that they are the ones that awaken Alex to be what he has become right now. It was somewhat ironic when he thought about it, but he would not accept everything without fighting back; while he could not fight using his body, he could use his mouth. Words can hurt as much as fists and weapons hurt.
''Do you think you have won? We sent our strongest assassin to kill the imposter going to the Far East Empire with Alex's women, and while we might have miscalculated you appearing here, there is nothing you can do even with your strength. The goddess will descend you have already lost. Hahahaha! I'll wait for you in hell, hahaha.''
Pendragon was trying to appear strong; unfortunately, this was nothing but the last attempt coming from a loser refusing to admit that he ultimately lost.
Looking at the man wriggling below her feet, Silveria let out a sad sigh.
''You know I understand your feeling, and I know what you are trying to do, but unfortunately, you have miscalculated. Indeed, it's not my master over there; it's another person impersonating him, but to think you could kill her is the funniest joke I have ever heard. If not restrained by her master's strength, none of you in this world would be her match, now that her master is a Demi-God, a part of her strength would come back, and with that, you assassin stand no chance; it would be a massacre. There is no doubt this time you will suffer severe damage like never before. Losing two cardinals, no, with you, it would be three. What a terrible thing.''
Silveria's words were like knives repeatedly piercing his heart. The impostor was stronger than them, which means the assassination mission failed; another shocking piece of news was Alex reaching the Demi-God realm; not many could reach this realm their entire life, even he was not sure how long it would take him to reach that realm but unexpectedly a young man barely twenty became a Demi-God. It was unheard of; not even the past otherworlders were this fast; this young man was a real monster. He was the definition of what a true monster should be.
When Pendragon was overwhelmed by these two pieces of news, the third piece of news was more shocking than the previous two. Among the seven Cardinals, three (he was included) died. The cardinal fell into despair; just as he thought he had hit bottom, Silveria's following words plunged him into the abyss of no return.
''Oh! My bad, it's now four cardinals out of seven as my Big sister acted. You guys are quite unfortunate, you know?" Silveria said as she noticed Nyx's presence not too far away. She must have gone out to kill another cardinal after seeing her doing it.
''Hahahaha! Kill me. Even if we lose four cardinals, everything will be ok as long our goddess descended into this world. She will be the strongest, and we will rise from ashes like a phoenix to dominate the world and soon the rest of the universe.'' Maybe he finally understood that his time had arrived; cardinal Pendragon had become talkative.
''Another one with a delusion of grandeur. Too bad the universe is against you. You are only his stepping stone, nothing more, nothing less.'' Silveria declared.
''What do you mean?" Pendragon asked, fearful of the answer he would receive; for some unknown reason, his heart began to beat too fast like a drum.
''I don't mean anything just your so-called goddess would not make, the real gods above have decreed so, and because my master wanted her dead, nothing could save her. Since the beginning, you guys are mistaken about something; you are not the chess player but the chess pieces instead. Goodbye.''
After saying those words, Silveria canceled her ability, and Pendragon's body became overflowed with mana.
Boom!
His body exploded except for his head. At the same time, inside the tower, the Pope faltered; he heard the sound of four souls' crystals breaking simultaneously, his face turned pale, and before he could say a word, the goddess trying to possess Luna spoke first.
''He is here.''
