Divine Evolution: Primordial of Imagination-Chapter 48: Deal Breaker [3]

"Pedro!" Augustus called with a smile, the tall noble was spotted walking through an hallway.

Draped in green robe, he walked into a room to see a group of youngsters training.

All equipped in their graded Fallen Relics.

They were young adults of the Great House Venus, their blonde hair glistened in the spotlights.

Sounds of blades clashing filled the air.

Augustus laid-back on a wall, he watched with his arm folded, amongst the young elders who fought.

Pedro was like a war veteran.

Swinging down his blade, wild as an animal yet and gentle as a dove.

His blade works tore through his colleagues, his eyes flickered with determination.

Members of the Great House Venus were tall and beautiful, and beyond strong as well.

Pedro von Venus, the strongest amongst Rank 2 Fallen Regulators.

Two descendants of Venus attacked him from behind, one unleashed a devastating spear, another a scythe.

Yet he deflected them, unfazed by the terror in their attacks, descendants of Venus were space bender.

Dominators of space.

And his primary Fallen Rune distorts space, his primary Fallen Rune was inherited from his dead father.

His Rune Class: Undisputed Effect shortens the distance between himself and his enemies, directing his assault against them.

If his opponent stands at a kilometer away from him, he could erase the distance of a kilometer.

Prompting his attack hit the direct target.

The spar lasted for over ten minutes, with Pedro von Venus standing at the top alongside his twin sister.

Alissa von Venus, known as the Twin of Spacecraft.

**

While the youngsters were spotted catching their breaths, Augustus clapped, his eyes flickered.

His clap reverberated through the air, drawing the attention of the youngsters towards him.

The moment they noticed him, they rose to their feets, straightening their backs, they saluted him.

"Greetings Uncle Augustus" They greeted in unison, Augustus von Venus is a direct son of the Patriarch.

But uncle to the youngsters present before him.

The Twin of Spacecraft bowed their heads in respect "Greetings Uncle Augustus" They greeted.

Augustus nods, "Pedro and Alissa, you children did well, I can definitely see your bright futures"

Alissa’s cheeks reddened, "Tha...tha...thank you Uncle Augustus, we’re just trying to make the Great House proud" She stammered.

Augustus grinned, "And we are proud of your growths, how is the training going? Pedro" He asked.

Pedro breathed in deeply "Well we are training well, I mastered three martial sword arts gifted to me by grandfather"

"Mastery my Fallen Runes hasn’t been easy but it’s going well" Pedro explained.

Augustus nods, "Good boy" He smiled, "I need you children to prepare, you guys will be visiting the Nectar Castle" Augustus uttered.

Pedro slightly frowned "Nectar Castle?" He asked, "But why?" He wasn’t the only one confused.

The young nobles were also suprised.

Augustus sighed softly, "Please understand that this is for your safety, there’s been a report that one of you children will face assasination soon"

"The Cult of Greed are working together with the sons of Ares and it has been confirmed"

"A thief was reportedly confirmed to be present in Evernight, so I will be taking you guys to safety" Augustus nods explained.

The hall was dreadfully silent.

Even Rank 5 Fallen Regulators would still be wary of assasination attempts, not to talk of mere Rank 2 Fallen Regulators.

Pedro clenched his fist, he bit his lips, showing his displeasure, Augustus noticed it "What is it? Pedro" Augustus asked.

Pedro growled, "Uncle Augustus, I believe you underestimate our strength, we are nobles of Venus"

"I am the best of my rank, I doubt there’s another Rank 2 Fallen Regulator strong enough to stop me"

"Trust me to kill this assasin" He spoke with pride, Augustus stared deeply at Pedro "And what if the assasin isn’t Rank 2 but Rank 3?" He asked.

Pedro shook his head, "I doubt that Uncle" He smiled, "I’m Rank 2, they would surely send a Rank 2 to assasinate me"

"To prove they’re better than me, especially if it’s really those damned Ares’ sons"

"Even if a Rank 3 Fallen Regulator comes, I doubt they will be enough to kill me" Pedro was certain of his strength.

His strength was recognized by even the Patriarch.

He was certain he could contend against a Rank 3 Fallen Regulator in a direct battle.

Augustus breathed in deeply, "We can’t risk it Pedro, I know you want to prove yourself but listen to your dear uncle"

"You guys are the future of the Great House Venus, you are being groomed to be the future Patriarch"

"I won’t let you..." Augustus couldn’t complete his statement when he suddenly tilt his head.

His eyes widened in shock, "Im....imp.... impossible" Augustus stuttered, his eyebrows furrowed.

"What’s going on Uncle Augustus?" One of the youngsters asked, before Augustus could even reply.

They noticed it.

The invisible mystical barrier casted over the headquarters of Regulator’s Association shattered.

Although this was an outer barrier but it was casted by Augustus von Venus.

He was the first to notice the destruction of his creation, He turned towards the children "Listen to me children, you must remain here, by no means shall you leave this room" Augustus von Venus zoomed off.

But not without sealing the training hall, sealing the youngsters within.

He dashed out of the hall, disappearing into the depths of main building, and the alarm blarred.

***

Three hundred yards away from the dome shaped building of the Regulator’s Association.

Standing atop a skyscraper was a young silver haired man, his golden eyes flickered with determination.

His lips curled into a dark grin and besides him stood Crystal, her skin paled but her eyes glowed.

She watched as her cousin directly destroyed the barrier casted by Augustus von Venus.

Number 015 stretched forth his right hand towards the headquarters of the Regulator’s society.

He sighed deeply "I wished i could invade that building and kill everyone i set my eyes on"

"But I’m still a Rank 3 Fallen Regulator, there are many Fallen Regulators of the higher ranks inside"

Crystal nods, "Yes" She smiled, "This is why this is a simple assasination attempt, a few of my avatars are currently inside that building"

"Once I confirm Pedro’s location, it’s game on" She declared, Crystal was draped in her battle suit.

Her grade 4 Fallen Relic.

And armed with her grade 5 Fallen Relic, ready to assasinate the future of the Great House Venus.

Number 015 glanced at Crystal, "Are you certain of your victory?" He asked.

Crystal nods, "Definitely" She chuckled, "I can even assasinate Rank 3 Fallen Regulator with my battle strength"

"Most of my avatars are quite equipped with Fallen Regulators I have stolen within this past few days"

"The Evernight Police Command must think I only have four or five avatars since only those were confirmed to have gone missing after killing their friends"

Her lips curled faintly "But I have more than ten avatars hiding and scattered around"

"Only a few has my face, the rest still maintains their identity....even in the Regulator’s Association" She giggled softly.

"What a monster" Number 015 sighed, Crystal shrugged, "Do you think I’m the type who moves without perfecting my plans?" She asked.

"It doesn’t matter who dated to stop me, Pedro von Venus dies today and it can’t be changed"

Crystal declared, she turned to leave the scene when she noticed something.

Her eyebrows furrowed "That bastard" She bit her lips, her fist clenched tightly, Number 015 raised an eyebrow "What is it?" He curiously asked.

Crystal took a deep breath, "He is here, Lenny Night has visited the Regulator’s Association"

"What is that bastard planning?"

***

Few minutes before the alarm blarred and all doors were shut, with every Fallen Regulators present trapped within the dome shaped building.

Lenny had visited the Regulator’s Association.

He stood within the crowd, observing everything that was ongoing inside the headquarters.

Fallen Regulators could be seen running left and right, security agents owned by the Regulator’s Association.

And soldiers loyal to the Great House Venus were all active.

With the doors leading into the grand hall sealed, no one was to enter nor leave the premises.

Security cameras were active, observing everyone and recording all Informations.

Powerful Fallen Regulators were stationed and ready to unleash their fury against the invaders.

Lenny exhaled a soft sigh, "Interesting" His lips curled faintly, "They should have realized it, that barrier was merely a distraction"

"Although it would hurt Augustus’ pride but he should not have left Pedro von Venus and the youngsters" He whispered with a soft chuckle.

He was observing everything, X was already hidden in the shadows of the youngsters.

If Lenny wants, he could kill him.

Corinthian stood beside him, his arms folded, completely unnoticed by even the security cameras.

Lenny noticed an unfamiliar gaze fixed on him, he tilt his head when he noticed the glare of a young lady.

He winked at her for he knew who it was.

He wasn’t suprised Crystal’s avatars had already infiltrated the dome shaped building.

He took a deep breath "Let the game begin"
