Chat Group: In the World of Eminence in Shadow, Just Defeated Shadow

Chapter Eighty: The Golden Clan! Mobilize! (Request for Subscription)

“The Vega Empire, the Om Religious Nation, and the Ravagas Academic City.”

In the room, Bai Luo was carefully examining a more detailed map of the Shadow World delivered by Xue Ji.

Firstly, the Vega Empire is located to the south of the Bekada Empire.

People in the Shadow World refer to it as the Southern Empire, in contrast to the Northern Empire of Bekada. These two often experience friction.

Additionally, both the Ravagas Academic City and the Om Religious Nation belong to island nations.

“These forces are somewhat far from here.”

Bai Luo didn’t pay too much attention to them since, in the short term, the major clans wouldn’t clash with the sect members hiding within.

He sensed the situation in the mountains and found that recently, sect personnel were evacuating outward.

“Is it because they know we’re not to be messed with, so they’re retreating?”

After pondering for a moment, Bai Luo quickly dismissed his guess: “It probably hasn’t reached that point yet.”

Currently, the conflicts between the sect and the Golden Clan were still minor skirmishes.

The high-end combatants of both sides hadn’t truly engaged.

Alpha wasn’t aware of the specific strength of the sect’s upper echelons, and the sect didn’t take the actions of the Golden Clan seriously either.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the sect, Alpha and her group were merely reckless little thieves.

“The Round Table Knights…”

To be honest, compared to the sect, Bai Luo was more interested in the legendary Demon Realm.

Yes, the Demon Realm.

The alternate space where the twelve Demon Gods reside, or perhaps another dimension.

If Bai Luo’s memory served him right, a scientist from the academic city long ago had opened the gates to the Demon Realm and captured powerful Demon Gods from another world.

That individual ventured into the Demon Realm to explore the origin of magic and never returned.

“Bang!”

Closing the ancient book in his hands, Bai Luo reclined on the sofa, enjoying the sunlight streaming through the window.

“Given the chance, I should visit this so-called Demon Realm.”

“What kind of world would the origin of magic be?”

Bai Luo paid no heed to the power of the twelve Demon Gods; no matter how exaggerated their abilities were described, he didn’t care.

Compared to those, what Bai Luo truly desired was another possibility.

“Negative feedback, perhaps there’s still room for further development.”

Bai Luo has developed a magical transformation state, but he currently lacks direction on how to advance further.

“Ah.”

Placing the book on his chest, Bai Luo slowly closed his eyes: “Find an opportunity to send them to the academic city to see if they can find some useful information.”

“Meow?”

Seeing Bai Luo beginning to nap, the Cat Girl who was originally sitting on Bai Luo’s knees immediately transformed into a young girl’s form and covered her master with a blanket.

“Meow!”

Looking at Bai Luo’s sleeping face, the Cat Girl nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, the foolish dog simply doesn’t understand her Bai Luo, only knowing how to play around outside!

How could she compare, being so obedient and sensible!

Meanwhile, somewhere in the castle, this was the area Bai Luo had planned for the Golden Clan.

“Alpha-sama.”

A Pokémon girl with light blue twin tails approached Alpha: “The latest intelligence from Zeta indicates that there have been sightings of sect members within Baron Cagano’s territory.”

The girl’s name was Epsilon. She was one of the demonically possessed individuals rescued by Alpha after Delta.

She had an exceptional talent for manipulating magic and learned how to channel the chaotic magic within the possessed in just half a month.

The current structure of the Golden Clan could roughly be divided into two classes: the Letter Group and the Numbered Members.

Among the Letter Group, led by Alpha, they are named according to the 24 Greek letters and are the senior members of the team.

Outside the Letter Group, they use numerical designations such as No. 25, No. 26, No. 333, No. 677, etc.

These numbers and letter names were granted by Bai Luo, equivalent to surnames.

As for the girls’ personal names, that was their own freedom. If they wanted to choose one, neither Alpha nor Bai Luo ever imposed any restrictions.

“According to the reports from the numbered members dispatched there, there are at least traces of fifty people moving in that area.”

Epsilon continued: “From the Letter Group, Sigma and Iota are conducting the pursuit.”

“Have you determined the exact location?”

Alpha had a bad feeling, suspecting that this action by the sect might very well be a trap.

“Beta is deciphering it, it will take a bit more time.”

“Hmm.”

Alpha nodded: “For now, don’t alarm them prematurely to avoid any tricks.”

“Do you think the sect wants to deal with us?”

“That possibility cannot be ruled out.”

Alpha wasn’t worried about encountering the sect head-on; their side held an absolute advantage in combat strength.

Based on Alpha’s assessment of the sect, even if real Round Table Knights arrived, they would only be A-class guardians.

In comparison, Beta’s normal combat strength was already beyond A-class, surpassing her original self and possessing the ability to directly confront beings at the level of the twelve Demon Lords.

If Beta could fuse magic with the power of gold, she could even unleash enough force to erase an entire city.

(Note: There was a mistake earlier. Beta is a Special A-class fighter, Gamma is close to Special A.)

“They are courting death!”

Epsilon harbored deep hatred towards the sect.

Upon hearing that these guys not only failed to hide but also plotted against them, she immediately wanted to set out with Beta to annihilate them completely!

“You go ahead to Baron Cagano’s territory first and make arrangements there.”

Alpha decided to turn their plan against them; before absolute strength, any conspiracy was futile.

She hoped the sect would send more people, exposing more weaknesses, allowing them to follow the trail and track them down.

“Yes!”

Epsilon was about to leave when Alpha suddenly remembered something: “Wait.”

“What is it?”

“Are you talking about the northern border of the Midgar Kingdom?”

“Yes.”

Epsilon asked: “Is there a problem with that place?”

“…”

Alpha hadn’t noticed it earlier, but now she recalled that Xue Ji seemed to have mentioned this place before.

“I’ll go with you!”

“Eh?”

Epsilon: “Isn’t that unnecessary?”

Among the top ten strongest members of the Golden Clan, each was at least an A-level fighter, let alone Beta and Delta.

Although Delta wasn’t participating in this mission, with Zeta, herself Epsilon, and Beta leading personally, this lineup could easily handle a sect force likely numbering in the hundreds.

Round Table Knights were A-class, and Epsilon was also A-class.

But there is a difference between A and A-level.

Epsilon was the last among the quasi-Special A class Round Table Knights, barely reaching A-class.

To put it bluntly, even if the other side sent ten fighters of the lower tier of the Round Table Knights, Epsilon could single-handedly defeat them all.

“I remembered something.”

Alpha said: “Xue Ji told me that when Lord Bai Luo first came to this world, he fought with a boy.”

“!!!”

Hearing that someone could fight with Bai Luo, the look of surprise on the blue-haired little Pokémon’s face was utterly adorable.

“Wait, wait!”

Epsilon placed a hand on her forehead, thinking she might have heard wrong: “You mean, someone can fight with Lord Bai Luo? Seriously?”

Epsilon wasn’t sure how strong Bai Luo was.

Alright, not just Epsilon, even Alpha herself couldn’t fully comprehend it.

The gap between them was too large; so vast that Alpha felt like a speck of dust gazing upon the vast sky.

Of course, this isn’t meant to belittle Alpha.

On the contrary, precisely because she could sense the vastness of the sky, it signifies Alpha’s strength.

In comparison, Epsilon couldn’t even perceive Bai Luo’s presence.

Had it not been for prior knowledge, standing in front of Epsilon, Bai Luo would seem like an ordinary person to her.

“When I first heard it, I was also quite surprised.”

When Alpha first met Bai Luo, he was already a six-digit powerhouse.

But Xue Ji said that within Baron Cagano’s territory, there was someone who could fight Bai Luo and successfully escape from his hands.

“Even if Bai Luo wasn’t taking it seriously back then, escaping from his hands… ”

Alpha tried to estimate the boy’s strength as high as possible: “His strength must not be underestimated!”

At least, when Alpha reflected honestly, could she survive Bai Luo’s casual attack?

The answer was cruel: No.

She would be instantly killed.

In an instant, turned to ashes without leaving a trace.

“Whew~~”

Originally, Epsilon was only astonished, but hearing that Alpha would be instantly killed by Bai Luo made the blue-haired Pokémon girl’s pupils shrink sharply.

“Incredible.”

Epsilon: “Still, I don’t understand. If we know he’s hiding in Baron Cagano’s territory, why don’t we eliminate him?”

“You can consider it as Lord Bai Luo’s compassion.”

Alpha: “It’s also a test he left for us!”

Cid unleashed his potential in a desperate burst and used a technique called Magic Fission.

Back then, Bai Luo didn’t hold back but genuinely struck Cid with a blow equivalent to mid-seven-digit power.

Afterward, Bai Luo used magic to check Cid’s condition.

He was indeed alive, but suffered from injuries that would take years to heal.

It was a strand of magic left by Bai Luo which, after ascending to the six-digit realm, transformed into the Black King’s Will.

Cid believed he had removed it, but that wasn’t the case.

The Black King’s Will had already taken root in Cid’s magic. If Bai Luo wished, he could ignite it anytime, causing Cid to vanish into ashes.

The reason Bai Luo spared Cid and didn’t exterminate him completely was because, despite his absurd behavior, Cid did possess talent.

Bai Luo intended to leave him for Alpha and her group to deal with, serving as a whetstone for the Golden Clan.
