Chapter 282: Time to Serve Vengeance

Kyros continued to fly through the air with great speed. He had been in constant communication with Martha and had even used the enhanced power of their Dark Link to see the entire dome.

With the enhancement of the Dark Link, the power of Kyros's communication could now be passed on to a few people. As long as a member of the Coven is nearby, Kyros and the Coven could choose to link another person who is nearby.

And so, Faye and Stellya were able to hear the voice of Kyros speaking directly to them.

Kyros suspected that the power of the dark mist that spread out had sensing capabilities thanks to Calaminus's many lessons of how darkness could be used. And so, Kyros told Martha and the team to follow what he said.

The reactions that they heard proved that Kyros's conjecture was correct, and the group continued to play around with what they learned, with Kyros giving them some notes as they continued to act out the scene of pretending to be ignorant.

The retreat of the four somehow relieved the Commanders, who was still holding down on Qara, who was angry to the extreme.

"Silence! We have already been delayed in our ritual! We start now! Qara, calm your rage and join us. Now that they have retreated, we should focus on making up for the lost time we had! Neteri, have you found their souls?" Cardinal Heralcus asked.

"I... nearly did, Lord Cardinal."

"Try harder," Heralcus ordered as he closed his eyes to harness the dark artifact that Destiny gave for him.

Neteri was silent but was secretly cursing. It was actually because of the angry reaction of Heraclus from being called a walrus that Neteri lost focus and was disconnected from the souls of the Commander.

Neteri began to concentrate once more. Her power was vital to hasten the process of resurrection as she could communicate with the soul and create a path from the place where the soul is towards its physical location.

The souls live and see a different world compared to those who see it. They see the physical plane and the soul plane and move through it. As such, souls could not move in the same physical directions as those living could. And so, it was difficult for newly departed souls to find a way to move in the new world and new sensation they now live in.

And since the place they were at had a frozen soul plane, it was even more difficult to travel.

Neteri would try to search the resonating power of the Commanders soul. As the Commanders were the strongest cultivators ever to have walked in this place, it was easy to find them. But the soul plane was something that Neteri could not easily move into due to her weak cultivation. She had to rely on another artifact that Destiny gave her. Through this artifact, she creates a call that attracts the souls back to them. But now that the link has been destroyed, Neteri has to go through searching for the souls in the soul plane again.

The two began to concentrate as Darako tried to reason with the Qara, who was still bound in chains.

As Martha and the group retreated, Kyros then gave the order.

"Alright. Go back to them and start attacking them."

"Go back? But I thought you said we should retreat." Martha frowned.

"Exactly. I made you say that they will be relieved, lower their guard, and start whatever ritual they need to make. I'm sure that whatever ritual they are trying to do requires focus and intense concentration to perform. So they should be focused and trying to get their momentum to cast this spell back. Hence, you guys go back and start calling them. I'm still searching for more survivors that Midgard told me about." Kyros explained.

"I understand, Lord Kyros." Martha answered, and the group made a sudden turn.

"What do we say?"

"Bring out Puff, and gave his speech in dragon tongue. Since Dragons rarely interacted with people, they didn't want others to learn their tongue out of their pride. So I hope that not many of them can speak Dragon Tongue. Otherwise, this plan won't work. But might as well try since it won't cost us energy anyway." Kyros answered.

Martha noted what he would make Puff say, and Faye and Stellya blushed as they heard it.

"This..." Gojirrah was amazed. The words would definitely invoke a reaction.

Martha passed on those words to Puff, and Puff chuckled.

"Your master is a genius! And it's true! Dragons and vampires have always had this rivalry! Both races have powers from the Fanged Fallen after all." Puff chuckled and came out of the portal.

"ROAR! ROAR!" Puff began his tremendous roar that crossed the distance.

Those inside the Dark Dome heard the cries, and Qara's eyes grew angrier.

"That arrogant whelp!" She cursed as she heard the taunts.

"What is he saying?" Darako frowned. He was worried that another commotion might erupt. He moved closer towards the Wyvern and prepared to hold her down.

But Qara was only grumbling and gnashing her teeth from the insults of Puff.

"You are a disgrace to the dragons! Serving a human necromancer? Pathetic! At least my master has dragonic blood and has the power of Relational Superiority! He is his own grandpa!" Puff laughed.

"Relational Superiority?" Qara frowned.

"What?" Darako asked.

"Nothing. That whelp is talking nonsense and is insulting me."

"As long as it is nonsense. Neteri and Cardinal Heralcus are in a critical moment. We should refrain and be silent. Block off your ears just in case."

"Hmm. You're right." Qara shook her head and was about to block off all sounds and rely on sight to stand guard when Puff said something.

"My master knows of a secret that will shock you! Do you think your husband was faithful to you? Didn't he see you lust after the Cardinal, which is already an embarrassment to our race? Do you think your husband could hold that jealousy down? My master is a vampire, and you've seen in that vampire's memories the Celestial ranked Vampire that my master managed to seal! With her powers, my master can see bits and pieces of the vampire's memories!" Puff shouted.

Qara froze. This issue had been a constant problem that drove a gap between Pyrestarter and the Cardinal. The Necromancer had always openly shown his attraction to Qara. And Pyrestarter was too weak to do anything about it.

"That Vampire was very loyal as he managed to hide most memories involving all your abilities and strength. But what he couldn't hide was a secret. He hated your husband, did he not? And he knew of a secret that he was ordered to keep. He knew that your husband had made an angry rebellion against your Cardinal. And that was through Neteri! The Vampire loved that Shaman. But as that Shaman was also one of the maid chambers of the Cardinal, he could not do anything. But when he found out that Neteri also had another partner, it made him mad. Had not the Cardinal intervened, the two would have fought to the death!"

Qara felt as if her world froze. His husband and the Vampire did hate each other. And it was also Pyrestarter's anger that he did not follow the orders of the Cardinal and even went so far as to charge and attack the Temple despite the orders not to do so.

The question was bothering her. Was it true?

"Your husband had been sleeping with that Neteri who welcomed him secretly! How may you ask? Through the soul, of course! Neteri's soul would move into the body of your husband every night even when you were beside him!" Puff laughed as Martha told him the last sentence to declare.

"Lord Kyros. Are your words true?" Gojirrah asked.

"Eh? Of course not. I mean, there's a possibility, but no. Neteri can't have soul sex. She's not a succubus. Only those like the Blood Calamity could do something like that. I am only using every detail that Martha talked about. The Cardinal clearly is one horny necro. The dragon commander's charge to the Temple didn't make sense. Why did he attack all on his own? I merely used that. I doubt the Necromancer would sleep with the Wyvern. After all, he would not dare waste a Commander of Destiny. I'm just adding intrigue to the perverseness of that necromancer. Right now, that Shaman ought to be in a critical moment. I hope that the Wyvern can't contain her anger. After all, now is the perfect time to serve vengeance." Kyros laughed.

"It doesn't sound like she acted. There is silence on the Dark Dome. Shall I make Puff call out again?"

"No. Give it a few seconds. It's best that Puff keep quiet. You see, she will want more info. And we are not giving it to her. Trust in the woman's ability to overthink." Kyros laughed.
