Chapter 890 - Mission Halted
Chapter 890 Mission Halted
According to the agreement, Flaming Tiger Cindral and Greem had to have a fight between them!
Moreover, they also needed this battle to conclude the entire incident.
That was why Cindral also focused and prepared to fight with all he had when he saw Greem’s actions.
However, Cindral could no longer remain as calm when he saw such powerful magical equipment appearing on Greem’s body one piece after another.
Once upon a time, back on the Fire Elementium Plane, he had toyed with Greem like a cat did a mouse. Not a single one of Greem’s actions had managed to break free of his control. Today, when that same fire adept stood before him as a powerful and consolidated aura burst forth from Greem’s body, Cindral became somewhat disturbed.
If one were to count the time, it had been less than ten years since they had last met. Yet, Greem had transformed entirely and grown so much?
While Cindral became shaken, an armor of fire gathered around Greem’s body. The armor was covered in magical patterns and released a faintly intimidating aura.
Adept Karak was already waiting for them at the entrance.
When he saw the two of them successfully return, he stepped forward with a smile and said, “Come with me please, the two of you. Our Lord wishes to see you!”
The sudden arrival of their city lord after ten years should have been an incredibly joyous event. However, there was not a single trace of happiness on Karak’s face. Even the smile was forced.
Adept Yunid didn’t know the truth behind the scenes. She was confused, but she didn’t dare to voice her questions. Meanwhile, Greem pretended not to have noticed anything, and there was no change to his expression.
Alfred met them at the upper levels of Molten Fire City in a special stone room.
The decoration of the stone room was straightforward, with Adept Alfred sitting on a stone chair dressed in a gray adept’s robe. When the three of them entered the room, Adept Alred opened his eyes as his gaze fell upon Greem and Yunid. The two of them couldn’t help but start sweating.
At their level, an increase in a single grade meant a rise in power by ten to twenty times. It didn’t even need to come to a battle. Just an ordinary gaze from Alfred and the two of them could feel a powerful force weighing upon their bodies.
Moreover, such spiritual pressure bypassed all defenses and magical resistances. It only had to do with one’s spirit resilience.
As such, when Greem and Yunid stood in front of this adept, they felt as if they were sitting on needles, as uncomfortable as could be.
Greem wanted to look at Adept Alfred’s appearance, but unfortunately, his spiritual senses and the Chip’s probing scans were all suppressed within his body by an invisible force, unable to extend outward. Under such circumstances, he could only rely on his physical vision to get information on his surroundings.
Unfortunately, a cluster of light hovered around Adept Alfred’s face, causing Greem to be unable to see his true appearance.
Adept Alfred did not care about Greem looking at him. In fact, there was no reason to care.
He looked at the two of them before finally speaking with a chilling tone.
“The two of you did a good job today. Karak, you may deal with the assigned mission as if it was completed. Send them off once they have obtained their mission rewards!”
“Yes, sir!” Karak hurriedly agreed to the order.
“But…the tiger has yet to been caught?” Adept Yunid paused for a moment.
Greem also opportunistically feigned surprise on his face.
“No matter, it is just a small beast. We of Molten Fire City will deal with it ourselves! The two of you may leave after taking your rewards. We still have some private matters to settle and won’t be keeping you here any longer.”
The two adepts clearly picked up on the Fourth Grade adept’s intent to have them leave and made no attempts to insist on remaining. Though they didn’t know why they were chased away before the mission was completed, they could guess that some internal matter had occurred to Molten Fire City.
Greem and Yunid left for the City of Oss under the escort of a group of soldiers after quickly retrieving the rewards they were promised from Karak.
