Cygnus suddenly laughed which made his butler frown. There was nothing to be happy about during these times. It was a bit unusual for him to be acting like this. Mr. C approached his master with the intention of asking what made him happy.

"Did something happen, master?" He asked as he usually does whenever he finds his master\'s action as unusual.

"They are already here," was his only answer. It took a couple of seconds before the butler finally understood his master\'s words.

"So, those damn priests and that annoying knight are already here. It took them longer this time." The butler\'s demeanor suddenly changed. He became like a gangster who was ready to go and ask for a fight. This was also the first time that he cursed.

Cygnus laughed when he heard the sudden change in his butler\'s language. "Don\'t worry, we have plenty of time to prepare since they are not in this kingdom yet. Their presence is so far that I am guessing that they landed in a different kingdom."

The butler returned to his usual self and nodded his head. "Nevertheless, I will still be informing the others of the appearance of that group."

"They have weakened and now is the right time to annihilate them. I also gained new pawns that I can use against them and there is that man from the Blackwell too." Cygnus twirled around because this time around he would make sure to thoroughly destroy them.

"Well then, I will leave for a while, master." Mr. C left the room leaving the master to his own happy devices.

After the butler left, he contacted Ari and told her to gather the people around the master for an emergency meeting. In one of the manor\'s drawing room, Mr. C was waiting for everyone to arrive. The first one to arrive was Ignius and his carefree attitude was reigned in. Nahar also arrived as elegantly as he could.

A gate appeared and came out Astrophos and Vain then followed by Nina who was still had a grin on her face. Ezio and Reitou were also summoned through the gate. After everyone was summoned, Mr. C looked at them before he started.

"Thank you for coming to this impromptu meeting," Mr. C greeted them. "I\'ve called all of you here because I have urgent news that all of you must know."

At those words, the people inside the room remained silent and on alert. Ignius could also feel the curiosity because even him was curious as to the reason why the butler called them all. He narrowed his eyes because this never happened before but after a while his eyes suddenly widened in realization.

"Are they here?" The temperature in the room spiked up as the dragon\'s voice came out as a growl. He even stood up from his seat and marched towards the butler.

"Please relax, black dragon. I will explain everything to the others and to all of you. The circumstances might change in the next coming days." The butler raised his hand to stop the dragon from further stepping forward.

Ignius took a deep breath for a couple of times before he took a step back and went back to his seat. He would listen first before he would make a decision as to what he should do. The appearance of those people must have already been felt by the master, that was why the butler was here.

"That group called \'Justice of Light\' has arrived in this world. According to the master they are not in this kingdom yet so they most likely arrived at a different kingdom. Although the master told me that there is nothing to worry about, I still want all of you to be prepared, be alert and be wary of them." The butler revealed to them together with a reminder.

"Who are these \'Justice of Light\'?" Ezio asked with a frown. This was something new to him and he did not know the reason why they were gathered just because of a group of people.

"That group has been hunting the master ever since we the master caused destruction in their world. It has become their sole purpose to kill the master. They have been following us to every world we explore and trying their best to destroy the master but they never succeeded." The butler explained which earned him several surprised expressions from those who did not know of the matter.

Ezio did not expect that someone was actually brave enough to chase the master. "How could they even travel through space when the only people who could do that are space mages?" He asked when he realized that there was something odd about them.

"Travelling through space is not only limited to space mages. As long as one has enough power to open a dimensional portal, then they too can travel through worlds. Those people have artifacts that can help them track and open a portal to any world where the master was." He cleared the misconception regarding traveling to different worlds..

"How can we identify them once we encounter them?" This time it was Astrophos who asked a question.

He would need something that could differentiate from the normal human beings so that he could send some people to scout the different kingdoms near Lunaira. They would need information on any new people or unusual events that had been happening around the kingdom. It would be beneficial for them to get a hold of any news that might be related to this group.

"You\'ll immediately know them because nothing about them is normal even if their presence differs from those of normal humans. Remember, they had been chasing the master for a couple of hundred years now." The butler\'s tone went down a few notches while telling them that information.

They all nodded their heads. "I will relay to you any information that I can gather regarding the other kingdoms. The butler is right, we need to be prepared at least even though the master isn\'t that worried about the matter."

After they came to an agreement, they slowly dispersed with different thoughts in their minds. Ignius, who had the most extreme reaction during the meeting, stopped Astrophos. "If you are going to investigate those people, I will lend you some of my wyverns. They will be able to help you gather information. Once you bond with them, you\'ll be able to get the dragon eye."

The mage nodded. "Then I will gladly accept your help." There was no reason for him to turn away the man\'s help. He knew that the master had assigned a task to him and it must be frustrating not to be able to do anything in this situation, especially for him who has the longest bond to the master.

"Alright, I will send them to you tonight." Ignius\'s tense expression eased a bit after the mage agreed. Now he could at least rest easy while carrying out the master\'s orders to him.

That night, two wyverns arrived at the front door of the Vergessen bakery. They were both in a human form courtesy of the black dragon. Both were proficient in speaking the language and their actions didn\'t differ from those of regular humans.

Astrophos was satisfied so he immediately bonded with them through the exchange of blood and just as Ignius said, he gained the dragon eye. This skill grants him the ability to share the vision from the wyverns, whatever they would see, he too would see it. It was a very useful ability because in this way he could have first-hand experience of gathering the information.

After the bond was formed and after training for them for a couple of days, he sent them away to their first mission. Just for the first three days, the wyverns already gathered quite a substantial amount of information but none of them strikes as something related to that group.

There was not much news in the kingdom for those days and it felt more and more like the calm before the storm. The aristocrats felt that way and even the king felt uncomfortable because of how silent it had become. The sudden halt in the attacks against the youngest Ginehart was concerning because the young man hasn\'t shown his face for a couple of days now.

Many tried to have a talk with him but he refused them all. Perhaps the only people who weren\'t bothered by all of these were the crown prince and his adviser. They continued to build their connections with the Hero Association during the times that Rigel was not there. Crown Prince Renzo also got to know Hero Arcaine and the hero had been leaning to his side because of the benefits he was about to reap and because of the status of the man. He even thought that he was better than the youngest Ginehart.

These events progressed as the black dragon continued to attack the families on the list and change them into dummies that were absolutely loyal to the master. Once everything was set in place, the master would appear again like nothing happened.
