Supreme Monarch

Chapter 342 C342. The Return Of Lix And Lilith.



After teleporting both himself, Nadine, and the carriage alongside the Six-eyed bull to the end of the Grayad plains, which borders the Vazel region. A small region once under the Darknar region's territory but was usurped by the Sentro region to control the traffic in and out of the once forbidden Darknar region.

Tyler figured this was far enough to escape the secret monitoring gazes of the entire continent in order to prevent the association of the character known as Lix the mysterious merchant, with the mysterious Demon Lord of the new Darknar family.

Unlike the last time Tyler had done this, he was no longer restricted to teleporting only as far as his eyes could see. However, he did not dare appear inside the borders of another family's region so suddenly. As the borders of each region were strictly monitored.

Left to him alone, he was confident he could escape any type of divination and detection skills and magic with the aid of his God Tier artifacts as he had conducted several experiments with Erin being unable to detect him.

However, with the addition of Nadine and Mike Jr. (The six-eyed bull now serving as their mount in place of the late Mike Sr. that met a tragic end in the mouth of the wounded ColdFire Drake now known as Drago.) currently traveling with him, he wasn't a hundred percent confident in concealing their presence and auras the moment after teleportation.

Erasing the traces left behind by the distortion in space after teleportation was already an impossible task for anyone else if it wasn't for his skill, Spatial Domination.

However, even with the complete dominion over space, achieving the same result whole teleporting with others was currently still too difficult for him as finding that instant to conceal their existence was impossible for a human mind to process at once.

[Notice: There's no need for Master to concern himself with such trivial things as all traces of Master and his companions will always be concealed by Uriel.]

'...Huh!?'

Tyler was completely at a loss for words, after spending so long contemplating how to handle the situation and spending so long performing experiments to improve his stealth skills, turns out it had all been a wasted effort.

[Master's ability to learn and improve is a valuable asset to Master's growth and provides the Master with a sense of satisfaction and gratification while helping ground your thought process to consider each situation from multiple perspectives. As your most loyal servant and tool, it is not my duty to replace those aspects of the master and only serve to assist and safeguard.]

Tyler sighed tiredly at that explanation, he hadn't expected Uriel to sound so protective and inspiring.

"Something wrong, Lord Ty?"

Hearing his tired sigh, naturally, Nadine turned a concerned expression at Tyler and he had no choice but to wave the matter aside for now and return her worried expression with a smile. Even Mike Jr. appeared to have sensed his worries and turned to grunt at him.

Tyler chuckled softly and reassured the both of them.

"Everything's fine. Now then, let's head out shall we."

Nadine smiled innocently and nodded and Mike Jr widens his stance slightly, lowered his head, and in the next moment, he pawed the snow and activated his fiery aura as he charged through the thick snow field easily until they reached the main roads.

Mike Jr casually pulled the heavy carriage through the unpaved roads towards the Vazel region borders. Unlike the last time, the roads were no longer covered in dirt and snow as they had been cleared out by the workers of Paragon city along with the help of some low-level undead creatures.

Of course, these roads were yet to be paved as they were still short on manpower. However, this alone made their trip a lot more pleasant than last time.

Although, unlike the last time, the monsters patrolling the outskirts of the Darknar region were a lot more numerous than before and they had encountered more than three times the monsters than they had done before.

This was because, most of the monsters that had fled from the Darknar forest due to the smog of negative energy being emitted by the massive undead army, were yet to be returned to their natural habitats and were out here scavenging for food.

Still, even with their increased numbers and strength, Tyler had less trouble dealing with them now than last time. He simply teleported them back to their homes in the darknar forest before they could even get close to the carriage.

Mike Jr didn't even have to slow down for a moment. Tyler also didn't make any mistake in sending them back to where they were from as he had Uriel who had access to all the information known in this world.

He was even slightly glad there was a lot of hidden information in this world else he might feel inferior to an A.I. Well, Uriel seems to be capable of managing that delicate balance on her own.

After what felt like hours of riding across the Sentro region even though it had only taken them like 45 mins thanks to the little obstructions in the road, they finally arrived at the main gates of Winged City.

Unlike how it was in the mornings, the gate was actually not that crowded but still, there was a decent line of people and carriages and they would have to wait for a while if they didn't have V.I.P merchant licenses each.

Without even sparing a glance at the irritated masses in line, Nadine nonchalantly controlled the carriage around the line and headed straight for the guards checking and processing the information of those entering the city.

However, contrary to Tyler's expectations of scorned and hateful looks being directed at them, those irritated and tired workers and Hunter immediately recognized their carriage and broke out into a commotion.

The guard wondering what was causing all this ruckus raised her head from the document she was inspecting and was prepared to yell out the words, "Quiet down!' to silence the noise when her eyes suddenly widened by the massive six-eyed bull in front of her.

The massive Magic beast then came to a stop mere inches from her face as she couldn't maintain her balance and fell on her metal-plated butt with the sound of a metal clang.

"Pardon me, do you mind letting us pass first, it's a tad urgent."

The female guard blinked several times and almost couldn't comprehend the words that had come out of the mouth of a fucking bull that she just sat there with a dumb look on her face.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

For an instance, the mouth of the bull matched the words spoken and she had no choice but to doubt her sanity. A freaking bull was speaking to her in such a gentlemanly manner.

"What the hell is going on out here? Riva, what in the lord's name are you doing on the ground?"

Having overheard the commotion outside and noticing it hadn't died down after a while, a large plump demon came out of the guard's post in a rage only to find his Lieutenant on the ground staring at a bull as if she had just met a god.

"T-th-the b-bu-bull! It-it spoke!"

"Have you gone mad?"

In an instant, the rage in the man's voice had completely disappeared as it was replaced with a confused and inquisitive tone instead. His eyes then slowly traced the girl's wobbling arms as they pointed at the bull.

However, unlike her, he had a better view of the situation from where he was standing thus, he traced the Harness back to the carriage and on the driver's seat where two figures were sitted and staring back at him with a perplexed look on, the girl's face as her partner's face was hidden under the shadow of his hood.

Startled by what he saw for a moment, the Captain almost ended up in the same state as his Lieutenant for a moment only to quickly snap out of it.

"This carriage, that Magic beast, and a cloaked figure accompanied by a cute beastgirl. There's no mistaking it, you must be Mr. Lix and Miss. Lilith. Please, pardon my lieutenant, she was only just transferred here. I'll handle your inspection personally so please forgive her. You can just show me your merchant license and you may enter the city."

Hearing those names come out of the Guard captain's mouth himself, the commotion immediately intensified as everyone discussed the pair and their supposed feats of defeating the vice-captain of the Magic guild.

After hearing the voice of her captain and the topic of discussion between the workers and Hunters, Riva finally calmed down a bit in her momentarily daze to think rationally as she finally looked up beyond the head of the bull to see two figures as they stared back at her.

"So it wasn't a talking bull."

You idiot! Get off your ass and do your job!"

"Right!"

"Hearing her captain's anger once again being directed at her, Riva show up to her feet as she ran over to attend to the others on line while occasionally looking back at the pair seated at the driver's seat of the carriage.

She had only just recently been promoted and transferred from a smaller city to Winged city where she hoped to make a name for herself and slowly climb up the ladder of the military.

Yet, on her very first day in her new post which she had thought to be too mundane for someone of her rank, she had instead made such an embarrassing blunder and may have even angered what looked to be an important figure in the city.

Her face was completely red so she felt lucky she hadn't decided to take off her helmet thanks to the cold. If this had happened in the summertime, she didn't think her nerve would be able to handle the looks everyone was currently giving her.

'Crap Crap Crap... why did I have to be so distracted today. What a mess.'

Lowering her head as she continued her work amid the chaos, the Magic carriage that was being pulled by a six-eyed bull was permitted to enter the city after only a quick inspection of the pair's merchant license.

This was something only nobles were capable of yet she hadn't noticed a family's crest on the Magic carriage. It was a plain-looking carriage that seems as though it was mainly designed for the use of transporting cargo and there was no way a noble would ride on something so plain.

'They must've been really important o guess. Crap, what the hell should I do now. This is not good for my career.'

Riva thought as she subconsciously made herself look small as she felt the piercing gaze of her captain glaring at her from his office door before angrily walking back in.

The commotion outside the main gate hadn't died down even after the pair had long entered the city. The more new visitors came the more the story which now included her spread like wildfire.

Riva couldn't help but feel the looming feeling of despair as she could tell that there was no way that story would not get exaggerated the more it was told.

'Oh well, to think my career ended way before it even started.'

Taking a deep breath after resigning herself to reality, Riva grew tired of the noise and with an aura that surpassed the norm, she immediately silenced the crowd.

"ENOUGH!!!"

It was already bad enough that this would probably cost her, her job so she wasn't going to allow them to simply just say whatever they felt like.

The crowd fell into deep thoughts and no soul could even find the courage to muster up another word. Even though there were those just as strong as– if not even stronger than her within the crowd.

Faced with an intense gaze, not even the most experienced Hunter in the line could bring themselves to defy her command.

However, at the end of the line, two cloaked female figures chuckled softly as they whispered to each other as though finishing each other's thought process.

"How amusing that girl is..."

"I think she almost peed her pants..."

"Well we can't blame her, I hadn't expected to see him here..."

"I couldn't even sense his presence from this distance..."

" That must be why he is such a mystery..."

"This was just a simple trade mission but things seem to have gotten more exciting don't you think Sigrid! "

" Indeed, Sigrun. If only we could stay in this city for more than a day..."

"Unfortunately, our devilish leader will surely murder us for that. What a beast."

" Indeed... Still, I hope we can meet him again soon. Fufufu..."

After quietly exchanging those words with each other, the two female figures gently giggled to themselves as they slowly approached Riva at the end of the line. Their aim, like everyone there, gain entrance to Winged City.
