Chapter 364 - 364: Targeting Warlock Council

"If only it had healed faster, I might have been able to join you all. Anyway, where’s little Boss?"

"Lucifer? He isn’t here. He left all this work to me and went to explore the Dungeon to find Zeiss."

"What? Don’t tell me I missed that as well? When did he leave? Can I still catch up with him if I leave right now?"

Kellian glanced at Tristan while closing the laptop.

"You’re a bit late indeed. They left yesterday. They should already be deep inside the Dungeon by now," he answered Tristan.

"Instead, how about you help me?" he further asked, smiling.

"Help with what? Don’t even think about asking my help in paperwork," Tristan warned Kellian, suspicious of his intent.

"Don’t worry. I’m not an idiot to ask for your help with paperwork. It’s something else," Kellian responded.

"What else?" Tristan asked.

"It’s very simple actually. All I want is for you to go and kill a person for me."

"Kill someone? Why do you need me for that? Any random Variant from Uprising can do it," Tristan pointed out.

"Not really. The target is quite strong. I can’t send any random person. I was thinking about going myself, but I have to attend a meeting with Guild Leaders and finish my work. So you’ll have to go," Kellian explained.

"Is that so? Who is that person? If I may ask? Sounds like someone strong. It sounds fun, so I’ll do it. Just give me the name and address."

"His name is Dallas Aliorza."

"Who? Why didn’t I hear this name before?" Tristan asked, stunned. This person didn’t seem like anyone special. "Who is he?"

"Actually, I only recently received reports from Vega that the Warlock Council is sending a Warlock to Elisium to investigate what happened. Even though that’s the excuse, I know the real reason is much more complicated," Kellian pointed out.

"They want to establish their presence here by show of force. They know Varant, Zeiss, and Raia are dead. I’m sure if they come here, only unnecessary problems will be created. I want you to kill them before they can enter Elisium," he further said.

"If the envoy of the Warlock Council is killed in another nation, they can’t blame us. Moreover, they’ll be busy investigating what happened to their Envoy. That will give us quite some time. Until then, Lucifer should be out as well."

Hearing the explanation, Tristan was confused.

"Warlock Council? What the heck is that? Did I miss something else?"

"Oh right, you weren’t there when we received the explanation. Actually, the Warlock Council is a council of powerful Warlocks that indirectly rules another continent."

"They have been trying to spread their influence in our Continent as well," Kellian explained in brief.

"That’s the short explanation of it. Just know, they’re a team of hungry wolves that pretend to be gentle sheep. After a long time, we’ve been able to take over Elisium. We can’t let it become a Warzone again," he continued.

Opening a drawer, he brought out a file.

"This is the file that contains all the information about him. He’s coming from a private jet which would take twelve hours to get here."

"This file contains the route of that flight. I want you to attack that jet when it’s in the airspace of Alekia Nation."

"How would I get there?" Tristan asked, picking up the file.

"Do you even need to ask? You’ll take a flight to Alekia. Since it’s near us, you can get there way before the Warlock Council jet gets there. You’ll have enough time to arrange everything as well," Kellian explained.

"You’ll get your tickets at the airport. Take the helicopter on the roof," he added.

"Come on! Do we really need to be so stingy? Now we rule Elisium. I’m sure you can arrange a jet for me as well, can’t you?"

"One jet? We can arrange a fleet of jets to escort you," Kellian replied, smiling. They controlled everything in Elisium. It wasn’t too much for them.

"Awesome! That would be so cool. Let’s do that," Tristan exclaimed, smiling.

"We won’t. This is a covert mission. We can’t have anyone know that someone from Elisium went there on a jet."

"They’ll certainly know it was one of our men. Instead, it’s much better if you travel like a civilian with a fake name," Kellian explained.

"So get going. The faster you get there, the better."

"Alright. I’ll go on the commercial flight. But I want to travel with a fleet of jets next time. I won’t listen then," Tristan told Kellian before leaving with the file.

He went to the roof and entered the helicopter, which took them to the airport, which was again operational.

At the airport, Tristan bought something to eat before receiving his ticket on the counter.

Even though it was a commercial flight, it was no different than a private flight, disguised as a commercial flight as only one person traveled inside the fight.

Sitting inside the flight, Tristan read the file.

...

"Ah, there you are! Why did you take so long to return? We thought something happened to you!" Uzuki’s voice echoed.

As Lucifer, Alicia and Yaliza were leaving; they saw Cassius and Uzuki coming from the distance.

"We were lost in a maze," Lucifer summarized without stopping.

The five of them finally reached where they had started. This time, however, they selected the third path, ending on the right track.

...

A group of Warlocks was walking inside the same Dungeon as Lucifer. The only difference was that they were much ahead of Lucifer.

The ground was led by Zeiss, who was the Hunter Union leader. It contained not only the best Warlocks of the Hunter Union but also the powerful members of Rank One Guild, which was the most powerful guild affiliated to the Warlock Council.

"I wonder if we’re really going to find something special here. So far, it seems quite ordinary," A Warlock said out loud.

The Vice Captain of the Hunter Union nodded in agreement. "Yeah. When we discovered that a Secret Path that we had never explored before was discovered, we thought it would be special and that it might contain some special treasures."

He was known as Zaria.

"That’s why we brought our strongest team here. But so far, it has been quite disappointing," he added, sighing. "I wonder if we’re wasting our time here."

"Why are you so concerned about wasting time? It’s not like we had anything better to do outside either?"

"Let’s just enjoy this new exploration. Who knows, we might actually find something special in the end after all," Zeiss answered, shaking his head.
