Sovereign of the Firmaments

Chapter 111 - Opening Of An 'Evil Portal'



In the Weapons pavilion,

"Pavilion head, everything is prepared and the device is also installed at the entrance of the Silverstone town."

James informed Finn with a serious look on his face as he continued, "All we have to do now is wait until the evil portal is opened on its own."

"Good."

The old man Finn nodded his head with an evil smile on his face before saying, "Generally, it will take around 30 minutes for the device to activate on its own. So, order everyone to stay in their positions and relax."

"They should not come out until half of the town is invaded by the evil spirit beasts. In case any of the evil spirit beasts attack our stores or family buildings, those stationed in their places could come out."

Finn carefully explained what James should order to the members of the Weapons Pavillion.

"Yes, Pavilion head."

James knew Finn was evil but he never thought that he was going to sacrifice half of the town just to gain full control over the Silverstone town.

"The first thing I will do after gaining control over this town is to remove that old man\'s alchemy guild from this town."

Finn always hated the alchemy guild master and finally, he would be taking care of him. Nevertheless, for that to happen, the Weapons pavilion had to take full control of the Silverstone town in the first place.

The thing is Barren firmament is truly governed by the royal family; however, it made some agreements with various guilds like Adventurer\'s Guild, Alchemy guild, Weapons pavilion for their services in their Firmament.

According to the agreement, these guilds are given few towns to manage; however, if they fail to protect these towns, they would give that control to other guilds.

That\'s the reason why the adventurer\'s guild was fearing what Weapons pavilion was trying to overturn their control over the Silverstone town. That\'s the reason why they were sending a higher knight from the royal city\'s branch.

However, it\'s too late as the device to open the evil portal was already installed at the entrance and the Weapons pavilion was just waiting for the portal to open.

…..

In the Viscount grounds.

\'Slash\'

\'Slash\'

\'Ding,

        The host assassinated two rank 3 forest wolves and gained 20 sovereign points.

\'Ding,

        Remaining assassinations to become a tier 2 lesser assassin.

\'Huf Huf

\'50 more assassinations to go.\'

Looking at the system notifications, Lucas gasped for breath with a satisfied look on his face.

\'Screech\'

Soon, a normal brown coloured eagle landed on his shoulder and looked at the prey in front of its eyes.

It was none other than the Phantom eagle which was currently in its day form.

"It\'s thanks to you I can avoid the rank 4 spirit beasts."

Lucas caressed the feathers of the eagle and thanked it.

With the help of a great scout, Lucas was about to assassinate the rank 3 spirit beasts at a much faster speed as he didn\'t have to worry about the surprise attacks from the rank 4 spirit beasts.

In the eyes of the rank 4 spirit beasts, the current Phantom eagle was nothing but an ordinary beast without any energy in it. So, they would not bother about it. So, both Lucas and Phantom had formed a good team as Lucas assassinated 80 rank 3 spirit beasts in just three hours.

\'It\'s a pity the system doesn\'t count the assassinations of the rank 2 spirit beasts; otherwise, I would have already become a tier 3 lesser assassin by now.\'

Initially, he thought it was easy to assassinate 100 spirit beasts; however, the system later explained that only rank 3 spirit beasts and higher than that would be counted.

\'Nevertheless, it was good progress. Also, there are still around two hours left before I could finish the last weekly mission, I will use this time to become a tier 2 lesser assassin.\'

Lucas muttered to himself his plan and continued muttering, "Before that, it\'s time for breakfast."

Without wasting any time, he roasted a forest boar before asking the eagle to scout for the predator.

\'Growl\'

\'Growl\'

\'Huh? Looks like my cooking attracted the nearby spirit beasts.\'

Since Lucas had sharp senses, he could hear the growls from the surroundings; however, he was not worried because there were no rank 4 spirit beasts among them.

\'Shadow clones, go and take care of them.\'

He summoned his shadow clones to take care of them.

\'Ding,

          The host\'s assassin sea has less than 100 units. Please recover it before fighting any further.

\'Time to eat the fruit.\'

Lucas was intentionally waiting for the assassin sea to deplete. So, as soon as he got the system notification, he ate two fruits to completely fill his assassin sea and transferred the remaining energy to Phantom.

\'Ding,

          Assassin sea\'s capacity increased by 10 units. 

\'Ding,

          Assassin sea\'s capacity increased by 10 units.

\'What? Only 10 units?\'

Even though Lucas was already expecting the effect of the Dark ember fruits to decrease, he didn\'t expect it to drastically decrease from 100 units to 10 units.

\'Nevermind. 10 units are better than nothing. Anyway, in the future, I will use them to instantly recover my assassin energy as that effect didn\'t change\'

The second effect of the fruit was the instant recovery of 50 percent of the assassin energy of the consumer\'s assassin sea. So, he was content with it.

"Phantom, the breakfast is ready."

Soon, a man and an eagle had breakfast before continuing their work as they planned earlier.

....

After 30 minutes,

At the entrance of the Silver stone town.

\'Kacha\'

\'Rumble\'

The land in front of the gate started cracking and at the same time rumbling sounds could be heard by the watch guards of the town.

"Hey, what is happening?"

"Is it an earthquake?"

\'Swoosh\'

"No, it is an evil portal. Quickly go and inform the managers."

Within no time, a black-coloured portal appeared on the ground, making the four watch guards shiver a little as it was their first time seeing an evil portal.
