Chapter 1071 Watch The World Burn Together [Part 2]

An invasion by Saints and Supremes from another region was the only explanation that Alexander and Maximilian could think at the moment.

This possibility was something that they didn't expect, and it was also a very dangerous thing to happen.

For one, a Supreme was an existence that they couldn't hope to defeat with their current strength.

Also, even if the Supreme wasn't present, the hundreds of Saints that Alicia reported was enough for the two of them to take this matter seriously.

If an invasion had really occurred then not only was the Skystead Alliance in danger, but the Xynnar War Pact as well.

Although their new territory was a good distance away from the Xynnar War Pact, it wasn't very far either. It was very possible for the flames of war to extend into their territory.

Alexander's and Maximilian's scope of operation was only within the territories of the Xynnar War Pact.

Because of this, they weren't aware of the incident that had transpired in the Fynn Kingdom.

They didn't know that the Half-Elf, who was standing beside them inside the room, had managed to subjugate an entire kingdom and make it his own. 

If they knew this then the two Saints would press Lux for answers about how he was able to do it. 

Of course, they would also shamelessly ask him to let their people migrate to the Fynn Kingdom, so they no longer had to cultivate the inhospitable lands that they were eyeing as their new base of operations.

Lux, who was starting to have a nagging feeling that something wasn't right, asked Alicia another question.

"This flying Bone Ship, did anyone see where it went after it destroyed the Ashina Kingdom?" Lux inquired.

"Well, if what the survivors said is true then it headed North after razing the Ashina Kingdom to the ground."

"North…," Maximilian muttered. "North of the Ashina Kingdom is the Vahan Empire. Is that flying Bone Ship headed in that direction?"

The Half-Elf, who was starting to have doubts about who the culprit of the incident was, narrowed his eyes.

"Come, Blackfire," Lux ordered.

Immediately the Black Coffin materialized beside him.

"Blackfire, were you in the Ashina Kingdom a while ago?" Lux asked.

The Black Coffin tilted its body to the side, as if it was averting its gaze from its Master.

Lux suddenly had a bad feeling after seeing the Black Coffin's reaction. 

"Did you act autonomously and destroy the Ashina Kingdom on your own?" Lux inquired.

This time, Blackfire shook its body side to side, denying Lux's allegation.

"So, you didn't attack on your own?" 

< I didn't. >

Rows of text appeared in front of the Black Coffin, making Lux cross his arms over his chest.

"Is Eiko behind this incident?" Lux asked.

Blackfire once again averted its body to the side, confirming Lux's hunch.

The Half-Elf sighed before scratching his head.

"Where is she heading now?" Lux inquired. "Come, tell me. I assure you that I am not angry. In fact, I am very happy that she managed to avenge herself against the Kingdom that had tried to kidnap her Mama and killed her in the past. 

"Trust me. Even if she didn't do this, I would have done it myself after a few days. So, this incident isn't a big deal to me."

Lux wasn't lying. 

He had every intention to take revenge on Prince Lionell, as well as Esmond, who had killed Eiko in the past, as well as tried to kidnap Iris and hurt his Grandma.

But, to his surprise, the Baby Slime had beaten him to it.

After confirming that its Master wasn't truly angry with Eiko, Blackfire no longer hid anything and told Lux what he needed to know. 

< Eiko is heading towards the Vahan Empire. Also, she asked me to tell you something, just in case you find out about this incident. >

"What is it?" Lux asked. 

He was quite curious about what kind of message did Eiko left for him.

< She said that she won't go overboard and just destroy the Vahan Royal Palace, and the Coliseum. This is payback for what the Human Emperor did to you and her Manma Vera. >

Alexander and Maximilian, who saw the rows of text appear in front of Lux, felt as if their world view had changed completely.

They didn't expect the Baby Slime, who was always perched on top of Lux's head, to have the ability to destroy an entire Kingdom on her own.

But, when they read that she was headed to the Vahan Empire to destroy their Royal Palace and Coliseum, the two Saints felt that the Baby Slime had already surpassed them in both strength and power.

"Aurora, stay here for a bit," Lux said before ordering Blackfire to return to Eiko's side. 

"Are you going to see Eiko?" Aurora asked. "Are you going to stop her?"

"I am going to see her," Lux replied. "But, I am not going to stop her."

Lux then moved closer to Aurora and whispered something in her right ear.

"I'm just going to watch the world burn with her," Lux whispered.

The Half-Elf was just as curious as Alexander and Maximilian how Eiko was able to achieve such a feat.

So, when they found out that Lux was going to go where the Baby Slime was, the two Saints asked to accompany him as well.

The Half-Elf didn't mind, so the three of them used the Teleportation Gate in Barbatos Academy to instantly teleport to the Fynn Kingdom, which was very close to the Vahan Empire.

It only took them a few minutes to cross the border of the Vahan Empire with the help of Hana and her Spatial Magic.

After more than a dozen Spatial Jumps, they finally arrived at the Capital City of the Vahan Empire.

"Looks like we arrived just in time," Lux said as he looked at the giant flying Bone Ship that was flying towards the city from the South. "Let's go, Hana."

The beautiful Fox Lady nodded her head and once again used her Spatial Magic to teleport them directly onto the deck of Eiko's battleship.

When they appeared, the first thing they heard was the sound of musical instruments playing, and people singing.

Eiko, who was at the center of it all, giggled after seeing her Papa appear on the deck of her ship. 

Blackfire had already informed her that Lux already knew what was happening. Because of this, she had already expected that he would come to find her. 

"Pa!" Eiko happily jumped towards the Half-Elf, who caught her with both hands. 

"You've been a naughty girl, Eiko," Lux said before kissing her cheek, making the Baby Slime giggle. 

The Baby Slime wasn't the least bit worried that her Papa would be angry for what she did. In fact, she was certain that Lux would even support her decision.

"Un!" Eiko nodded, not even bothering to deny that she had been doing naughty things after she had started on a grand adventure with Fei Fei.

While the Half-Elf and the Baby Slime were showing kinship with each other, Alexander and Maximilian stared at the lineup that was standing on the deck of the ship.

When they saw the three Supremes they were already very impressed. 

However, when they saw Avery, Eiko's Second-in-Command, the two couldn't help but feel shocked in their hearts.

Just a glance at the Pirate King was enough to tell them that they were staring at a Demigod.

Avery, who had a vague idea of who these guests were, tipped his pirate hat in greeting, making Alexander and Maximilian nod their heads to return his greeting.

A moment later, the Patriarch of the Rowan Tribe laughed out loud.

Alexander was also smiling because he was thinking the same thing as Maximilian.

With the forces under Lux's and Eiko's command, why would they bother to cultivate a land that would only be habitable after a few years?

Since they had this amazing lineup, wouldn't it be easier to just snatch fertile lands and claim them as their own?

Xynnar War Pact?

Skystead Alliance?

Bah! Even if the two of them were to form a united front, what could they do?

Alexander and Maximilian had endured for many years, for the sake of the bigger picture and their people.

They were forced to compromise again and again because they didn't have the power to offend the Xynnar War Pact and the Skystead Alliance.

But now?

Who would dare to offend them?

Since Lux and Eiko seemed hell-bent on taking revenge on the people who had wronged them in the past, the two Saints were more than happy to stand to the side.

They wanted to see the world burn with the Half-Elf and the Baby Slime, who were both looking at the Capital City of the Vahan Empire, with evil smiles on their faces.
