Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 222: Pretentious followers



Chapter 222: Pretentious followers

Nix's actions towards Cinzia in the beginning and her actions towards him have changed. If she didn't treat him as though, he was a threat to her group things could have been different. She was iffy and it was deep in her nature. Well, she had seen her share of sufferings to have changed in such a way, none can blame but, that was why things have turned out in a terrible way.

Nix was rather the same, he didn't felt the need to help people who he barely knew. Apart from all such things Cinzia had lost everything she held dear. 

"Shall we go back?" Nix asked.

"Sure..."

She replied. 

It was morning when they were celebrating but, it was already dawn and it was also the time to go back to the town. The town was slowly transforming into a city. Though the process was slow one can say it will soon become one. 

The only problem is the religious interventions. Nix had already faced several envoys who requested to build a temple and the town folks requested the same as well.

The main problem Nix faced is the hate of his people. It was a hassle to travel long distances and return when they need to visit a temple. Though he didn't care in the long run he'd have let them build a temple.

Heredia hasn't contacted him in recent times and left him hanging. It seems the Etherworld has its own problems. Considering it being, a separate world similar to Midworld. There can be problems and since the nightmare has recently ascended there can be several things going rampant in Ether world.

That's something to fret about later on. For now, he was still working hard to become stronger. Though Nix might say his growth has become stagnant. He had grown stronger rapidly compared to those who have been living in Empyrean for a decade or so.

He stopped the Krigon near the bar, tying it up he left for his clan house.

Men and women in white-clad were gathered along with several town folks.

"AHh! Yes, lord Nix! These people have been awaiting your presence."

Remo said after sneaking out from the center of the crowd. He was the manager as such official works went straight towards him.

"Hah, what's the business?"

"Greetings...Lord Nix."

The head priest bowed.

"Hah, fucking come straight to the business," Nix said annoyedly.

"Yes, as you say..."

The priest stopped and looked at Nix's eyes for a while.

"We are the followers of the martial god Shigon and we wish to build a temple inside your to..."

"Get the fuck out of my city or else I might I have to kill you all."

Nix warned casually.

He might seem to have expelled the words without showing any seriousness but, still those words and the pressure he released carried quite the dismal feelings from him.

"Come on now? Even I've been fed up with your approach. you bunch of Shigon cock suckers." Cinzia frowned.

"You dare commit heresy!" The high priest yelled and raised his staff.

The next moment before they start chanting the barrier spells Nix swung his chain which precisely created a hollow on their vessels crackling their bones. Those priests were pretty weak since all they use in their stats were particularly leaned towards magic.

Plenty of pretentious followers have been disturbing Nix's peace over the course of two weeks straight. There were several groups who were extremely persistent and adamant that he wanted to kill them. Yet, he didn't want to face the wrath of the gods. Everything has its boundary including his patience.

The corrupted god's followers didn't dare to take a foot inside the town but, sure the integrity god's followers were an exception. It was certainly because of his participation.

His confrontation with Grendon has heavily inflicted on his fame. He had recently become infamous for chasing the Ralugerists.

"You dare to attack us! You will suffer for this."

The priests condemned him and ran from the vicinity.

"Hah..."

He sighed and looked at the sky.

'Fucking Empyrean and it's Fucking gods.'He thought to himself.

"Oi! Did you think fuck gods and shit like that right?"

Cinzia asked hitting him with her elbow to bring his attention back from the sky.

"Yes... How did you know?"

He asked with a faint smile.

"Well, it's obvious... You detest them. No wonder you'll be thinking that."

She shrugged.

Swish!

Accompanied by the sound, appeared Rosalie possessing something similar to that of a scroll in her hand.

"Hey... Darling, I have found a route for you to obtain Sublimity material."

She whispered into Nix's ear.

This was something Nix needed very much. The key, to figure out his past and take on a path to achieve a safer life.

"Cool."

He replied.

"Firstly, you should go alone. It's about twenty-five floors down towards Underworld in the babel. I have already ventured through few places. There is this particular cave..."

"Shh!"

He placed his finger on her lips and silenced her.

"You don't need to explain it so fastly, let's talk about it after I enter the clan house." He said and removed his hand from her.

"Sure~"

She smiled after a wink.

As he entered he saw Rebecca in her usual tank top. Reading a book, lying on the safe. She seemed quite immersed in it so, he didn't disturb her climbed the stairs as Cinzia and Rosalie followed him.

"Alright, I'll meet you later on."

Cinzia said and left the place.

Soon Nix opened the clan lord's office door and sat on his seat and pointed at the opposite seat.

"Take your seat, Miss Rosalie."

Rosalie smiled and took the seat he offered.

"hmm, so..."

She began speaking after spreading the scroll which was actually a map of the Babel.

"Sublimity comes in different ways. I have already searched about twenty-five floors in the least. And there is a crooked cave which is sealed by rocks from where I sensed the same energy of sublimity. It isn't actually the same but, there is a monster that can kill people over level tens in your terms."

She stopped and looked at him and continued.

"The particular thing is. You'll have to kill it. It is a deformed monster which's vitality is rivaling to that of a Sublimity material. The main thing is you should kill it and nobody should be around to inherit it."

'This is something of a level up in my terms then.'

He thought and smiled at her.

This was what he needed. He didn't gain level by killing a monster rather it was something he got from Rosalie. So, it will be his second level up that he earns by himself.

"Truth to be told it's an infant version of the Celestial beings..."

She said worriedly.

"That explains."

He shrugged.
