Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen-Chapter 352: Leiro, Sus Clan

'Elders!' Leiro shouted, with a hint of pleading evident in it. 'Please think about it more. There's no harm in following the path laid to us by Mystic Root like many other clans who got the opportunity to arrive here.'

'Clan lord. Your father and mother sacrificed themselves for the whole clan. We also recognize your potential and wisdom, and that you'll reach great heights, but there are some things and steps we have to take before you reach that level.'

'We shall not ally with native forces carelessly and go with the previous lord's plan. That's the only way to rise to greater heights and return to our world for revenge.'

'But-'

'Please end this quarrel here, lord. This is the will of our clan.'

This response naturally surprised Erix and others. They didn't expect the clan to show clear intentions of no alliance.

"Well, If you are not interested, then we are also not," Rin raised her eyebrows. "Let's go."

"Right," Erix said with a laugh before his faintly gleaned.

A second later, all three Zerian demons were shocked.

"That young man has Space-power and strong spiritual power, but no threat to us."

"Lord, let's forget this and return to prepare. I'll have to scan this place and our clan's barrier thoroughly to see if there are any foreign traces."

"Kaiel, you go and look outside to see if they left. Once they do, immediately prepare to contain this 3-kilometer area with Sand Source Nexus. Once it's done, we'll immediately move our clan's location."

"Tsk, we only just arrived here and luckily found this spot, but those natives had to find us," the fat Zerian clicked his tongue.

The trio returned, but Leiro's eyes were downcast. 'Father, I inherited your position, and even name…but this is wrong. Your plan only leads to our clan's destruction.'

…

On the other hand, Erix and others left the desert and were on their way back to Phoenix City.

"Tsk, I found a good thing, but we can't take it."

"If we were more powerful, we could take a solid treasure from there, but now they will take it," Amu clicked his tongue before pouting. "Brats, you need to get your Domain and awaken Soul fast! Without them, you won't be able to fight average Empyrean-order powerhouses and kill them."

Erix and Rin rolled their eyes while Isabella chuckled.

"Amu, why are you acting like that," Aaron pouted. "You are not more powerful than boss Erix. You are just our playmate."

"You little…" Amu jumped on Aaron and started tickling him, causing Aaron to giggle and play with Amu's antics.

But, Aria had a slightly worried expression.

"Ummm…I had a bad feeling when I looked at them," Aria said as she rubbed her fingers with thoughtful expressions. "Since I can feel such things even if they try to hide, I could sense it…"

Aria paused for a moment to think before saying, "It's like they are planning for something big, and don't want anyone to know."

"Their general intentions when observing us were not good," Aria added with some conviction in her voice.

Suddenly, Amu jumped up with a burst of sparkling water splashing off its slimy body. "That little…! He discovered my spiritual wisp and destroyed it."

Aria giggled and grabbed Amu before patting its head, "You are not all-powerful like before because of me, so they can do it. Sorry~"

"Hehe, stop joking, little brat," Amu's mood changed as the slime smugly grinned. "I'll become more powerful with time."

Erix was also in a thoughtful state and came to a conclusion, "Alright, that's it. I want to keep an eye on this clan. Their clothes looked luxurious, and I got a whiff of Tier-5 and even some Tier-6 stuff in their accessories."

Leaning back and putting his head on Rin's thigh, Erix added, "This clan has some secret stuff and we can agree on that. Terrapin clans also had their reasons to stay secretive, but they sought an alliance."

"And there is this Zerian demon clan," Rin thoughtfully nodded rubbing Erix's forehead. "They are definitely up to something. Changing locations, staying secretive…It defeats the whole purpose of them coming here."

Erix and others knew from the Moondawn Elf clan about how this system of various clans appearing here worked. Mystic Root gave such clans opportunities and a path with rewards and safety.

Only by attaching themselves to natives could these nearly extinct clans from various worlds progress because the most rewarding things were only acquired through natives.

"Even if you want to find them, it'll be hard," Amu said with a snort. "They erased my traceable wisp and will start moving soon."

Isabella wryly smiled and said, "With you four, it wouldn't even be hard to find them, but I doubt our next meeting will be peaceful."

"Actually, leave this mission to me," Amu said as the slime floated up and faintly glowed in blue and dark blue motes. "It's time that I do some real work to make myself strong and also complete a mission."

"Ya'll doing quests, but I am only playing with kids, man. I ain't slacking anymore, hah!" Amu said in new words learned from people here and materialized slimy arms and slapped its face. "I'll find this suspicious clan, and trace them in a way they can't find me and infiltrate them!"

"I am a goddamn fairy of ancient will! They can't find me if I don't want them to find me!" Amu was fired up!

"No, you are our playmate," Aaron giggled and jumped on the slime, gripping Amu with his hands and sticking on its head.

But Amu popped like a balloon and vanished before appearing near Erix. "Brat, this is my first mission and I shall complete it. No more playing."

"Haha, you can do it, Amu." Erix grinned and gave a thumbs-up. "Infiltrate them, keep your connection with us using your strong spiritual power. Once you have found their plan and marked their clan, we can try some things."

His eyes showed a ferocious light as he added, "This is a passing opportunity. If we can benefit, we'll benefit greatly."

"Better if they got some of their clan's special items or other stuff like Moondawn Elf clan's Nature Star Tree," Rin grinned. "Our island is plenty empty for exotic resources like that."

Of course, their moment was bound to be interrupted by monsters.

*Roar!*

"Woah, that monster is scary! Boss Erix, it's time to hunt!" Aaron excitedly shouted.

"A few more are coming," Rin's flickered as she licked her lips. "Those birds look tasty."

"Then let's just peel them and keep their body intact," Aria nodded before gulping. "I forgot to eat before leaving the clan, so I am also hungry."

"Then we shall make a big dinner after returning," Isabella said smiling as she rolled her sleeves. "I recently leveled up my Mystic Chef subclass, so I can try to make better and more delicious food."

'I can maintain myself at this status as long as they remain the same like that,' Isabella thought as she looked at Erix, Rin, Aria, Amu, and Aron, looking glad, relieved, and at peace.

However, the desire that bloomed from suppressed emotions, and power that materialized in the form of her first concept due to her thoughts…was not something that could remain hidden.

...

In the end, Amu stayed in the desert for his first mission, while the group returned to the guild and started preparing a feast.

After a good night's sleep, it was time for Erix and Rin to finish their Labyrinth Tower's special quest.
