Chapter 2353 Gardo Pays a Visit
Hrume called forward Kanglia and the rest of the group that attacked the formation so that he could hear their reports. Kanglia, as the leader of the attack, immediately told everyone around about what happened during the attack, which greatly surprised Hrume and the others. Hrume then looked at Rean and Kentucky. "Goku, Kenny, you two are quite a surprise... Especially the fact that you noticed that there were three formation cores instead of only one. Even our intel didn't find anything about it."
Rean smiled in response. "It's just some shallow knowledge about formation, nothing worth praising. My friend Kenny here was the one to contribute the most, pinning down three Elemental Space Realm Peak Stage Devils. It was thanks to him that I was able to move as I did. Besides, Fiotis and Yukeke also destroyed a formation core each."
Fiotis and Yukeke were the ones Rean told about the formation cores hidden by concealing formations. They did indeed manage to destroy them in the end. "Hahaha! We only have you to thank for that. However, we will definitely not give away the merit points."
Rean shook his head. "There is absolutely no need to give me anything back. I just hope that in case you find any information about the Essence Race, you will call me. It will be even better if you find one alive. They were supposed to have been wiped out all those years ago. But then again, they were that strong, so I wouldn't be surprised if some survived and kept themselves hidden."
Yukeke and Fiotis nodded. "That you can be sure we will do. Of course, we won't actively look for it, but we will keep our ears open."
"That's all I could ask for," Rean accepted that with a smile.
Hrume didn't mind that. As long as the army was on good terms with each other, that's all the better. "Alright, but credits should be given accordingly. This mission had high importance in the fight in Tormalek, and now we can get rid of the Underworld Death Trees in Limigo. That said, each of the participating members will get 300 Merit Points."
He continued. "Kanglia, as the sole Space-Time Realm cultivator in the group, will get 600 points. That's her reward as the leader of the group, too."
"Yukeke, Fiotis, and Essefy will get an extra 150 Merit Points for destroying a formation core each. Goku was the one to find the hidden cores, and Kenny held the ground against many experts, which led to the destruction of the cores, so you two also get an extra 100 points."
Hrume then looked at Rean with a meaningful look. "Although you were able to kill that Space-Time Devil, it was also true that it was possible due to the previous battle he had against Kanglia. Nonetheless, being able to get rid of such a high-level expert was no mean feat. I will personally bestow you with another 100 Merit Points, so keep up the good work. Kanglia, is that fine with you?"
Kanglia nodded. "I had already given up pursuing that Devil, so the fact it was still killed should be rewarded. Senior Hrume did the right thing." She then looked at Rean and thought about that last attack he used against the Devil. His speed, strength, Divine Origin Energy output... In her eyes, he was no weaker than herself. The only difference was that he 'couldn't use' time power.
Rean's eyes lit up hearing that. "Thank you, senior Hrume, Kanglia." He obviously kept the fact he could use Time Power hidden.
Kentucky was only helping in the war to give his points to Rean, so with both their Merits together, they already got 900 Merit Points. It looked like a lot, but it was still quite far away from Rean's objective. He needs one kilogram of Serene Gold Filament and each 100 grams cost 1000 Merit Points. He still needs 9100 Merit Points to get enough for him and Roan. If he decided to make one armor for Luan, that would be another 5000 Merit Points, too.
"Oh! Seems like everything is already over here." Suddenly, a Spatial Gate appeared in the sky, and a strange being came out of it while talking.
Hrume looked at the newcomer and narrowed his eyes. "Gardo, I don't remember requesting for anyone's aid."
Rean didn't know this Gardo, but he definitely recognized his race. He was from the Narfura Race, the same Race Rean arrived at when he was coming back from the faraway lands of the Demon Beast Territories. They had kind of a humanoid appearance but were still part of the Demon Beast Races. Their body was covered in red scales that could ignite any time they wanted, making them look like some walking flame spirit.
Also, narfuras were Divine Demon Beasts, although they were more or less at the bottom of the Divine Demon Beast power ranking. On the other hand, they had much greater reproduction abilities, which covered that flaw through numbers.
"Hahaha!" Gardo just laughed in response. "There is no need to feel like that. We are all in the same boat, aren't we? Besides, I didn't come here to help you. Instead, I'm more interested in these two friends you got yourself acquainted with." Gardo then looked at Rean and Kentucky.
Naturally, Rean and Kentucky were surprised to hear that. They have barely finished their very first mission, so how did this guy already know about them? 'Oh well, that's also good. I can spread my desire for Essence Race information more easily that way,' Rean quickly concluded.
