Chapter 225 - The Meeting (5)

(Jane's PoV)

I wasn't trying to brag or anything, but this kind of trick wouldn't work on me.

These old people really jumped for one topic to another quickly like women in gossiping mode. Instead of continuing their accusations towards Rasha and me, they hastened the closing of the meeting with sparkling eyes. Soon after, they all went out with eager steps, followed by their own Advisers. 

Seeing those old men looked so eager to check on the magnificent view outside the temple, I couldn't hide the smirk appeared on my face. Since they wanted to see the difference of strength between their armies, and probably trying to humiliate me and Rasha -not that I cared about him, I would love to accompany them in their game.

Let's see who would have the last laugh.

The exit brought us to the top of the temple with splendid view beneath our feet. From our point of view, I could practically see the l.u.s.ter colors of each army as the magnificent views of hundreds or even thousands of powerful entities lined up around the temple.

I recognized the fiery red aura from Merapi army occupied almost the whole west side of the temple. It looked grand and domineering from above, looking like demons emerged from hell with sparks of fire in the air. As expected of Third Master, his power was not to be trifled with. No wonder he became the leader of us.

My eyes scanned the scenery under my feet. Not too far from Merapi Army was Cloudy Army. The gloomy greyish aura made them looked like they were here to bring bad news for people. It was too bad that the view was not as grand as Merapi since Rasha's power was slowly running out. It seemed like I was right about he was closing to his limit.

Next to Cloud Army was an army which was emitting green and brown aura. I remembered reading it in the book about mystical army and I had been asking myself how they would look like. The l.u.s.trous color of green and brown was somehow satisfyingly cool looking from above. The colors represented the wilderness but somehow it looked oddly soothing, but with hidden danger inside.

Standing side by side with the hidden danger, Cloud Army looked so small and close to... nothing.

It looked pitiful.

I took a peek at Rasha who looked like he would collapse at any moment now. Beads of sweat trickled down from his forehead. The others must have noticed about his condition as well since some of them shook their heads after taking a glance at him.

How pitiful. In the contest of showing off, he failed to keep up and present a grand performance for these old geezers.

Well, it was partly his fault for refusing to learn early. If only he had accepted it since long ago, he wouldn't be in this predicament.

I sighed. Fine, just this once.

I walked towards him and grabbed his arm. "Just this once." I told him as he glared at me. Before he could say anything, I had transferred some of my power to him.

Below our feet, Cloud Army had a significant change during the transfer. Their greyish and gloomy aura rushed to the sky, created an even bigger dark cloud above them as the number of the men kept expanding.

The pitiful looking army was now almost as intimidating as the savana army -The Eighth Army -with the gloominess emitted from them, looking like they were here to deliver bad news.

I smiled in satisfaction as the army didn't look as pitiful as before and could finally stand side by side with the other armies. Only after I found it okay that I stopped helping.

"Well, that's not bad at all." I shrugged my shoulders and turned my head to look for my own army.

'Look for' might be exaggerated since the moment I turned my head, I could practically see their aura.

And it seemed I wasn't the only one who noticed it. All the other Masters were looking at my men with obvious surprise in their eyes.

I smirked when their eyes met mine before they turned their heads to look at Cloud Army, and returned to White Army.

If the whole West side was occupied by Merapi Army, my White Army occupied the East side and covered even the outer area of the temple. The blue and white aura were even stronger than Merapi Army's aura, made the East side of the temple looked bright and mysterious, yet calming and charming. Sometimes, there would be blue fire lit up from some spots at once. Even so, my flame bearers were still standing behind the General, looking sturdy and imposing as ever.

I grinned as I caught the sight of Tom and Sanji. Even from a far, I could see my General and Sanji stood side by side in front of the men while grinning from ear to ear.

Those wicked grins...they must have done something while I was away. Or, they must have planned something.

In a second, I finally understood what they did.

The blue flames soared to the sky, making the wind howled and swirled in motion with the fire. At the same time, the bluish aura from the men disappeared and changed into cold white aura, glowing like a seeing-through mist in the mountain under the sun light.

What a show off! I smirked as I noticed their intention.

The show off took full two minutes before the blue flames returned back to its size and the l.u.s.trous bluish and whitish color calmed down and moved in serene flow.

Well, old geezers, you want to show off? How do you like my show off?

Holding back the mocking smirk in my face, I turned my head to look at the stunned face they had. They must have felt that it was impossible that a newbie like me could create such a scene without breaking a sweat.

Right! This kind of thing didn't mean much for me. It was like a a child-play. I always knew that my capacity was vast, but I had no idea it was this awesome. I was surprised at myself as well, actually.

Anyway, since the show was over, I saw no need to stay any longer. After all, I still had an appointment with The Queen.

"Pardon my rudeness, but I still need to be somewhere at this moment." I bowed down my head a bit before I walked down towards my men with a smirk plastered on my face and the unusually quiet Siji trailed behind me.

"Let's go." I said to Tom and Sanji.

"Good job!" I finally heard Siji's voice laced with excitement followed by the sounds of hands clapping. I didn't need to turn around to see that they had planned it together.

These boys were wicked enough to deliver such a huge blow to the Elderly, what could I do with them? They were able to see my intention without me telling them what to do. Where else could I find partners as perfect as them?

"Now, let's move onto our next agenda." Siji's voice turned serious.

"Right. The Queen is waiting." I said as I nodded my head.

To hell with the meeting and demons, my meeting with the Queen was what I came here for.
