Chapter 868 Assembly Of The Guardian Warriors
~ At Guardian Warriors World ~
All the guardian warriors were summoned to their divine hall. The elders called everyone after knowing that the people they sent to the other world had finally come back.
The Elder Shaman, Mheera\'s grandmother, was the one who summoned them. She was temporarily leading the guardian warriors in the absence of Liam, their guardian leaders.
They had to know what happened to their mission. Mheera and Liam didn\'t come back. Only Calec, Riyu, Shiba, and Shino were able to go back.
Everyone was already gathered in that temple. The Divine Hall was full of guardian warriors– the Healers, the Shamans, the Element Wielders, and the Hybrids. They were all well-represented.
Mheera\'s grandmother started the conversation, calling the guardian warriors who went to the other world. The elders of each kind were sitting at the front. There was a center stage where the four guardian warriors stepped forward to show themselves.
"Now that you are here… can you tell us what happened in the other world? Where are our Guardian Leader and our Head Shaman? Why didn\'t you come back with them?" The Elder Shaman asked the four of them.
"Did you encounter the demon god\'s daughter?" Another elder threw another question.
Riyu stepped forward to answer their question.
"Our Guardian Leader refused to come back with us. He already decided to quit as our guardian leader!"
Everyone gasped when they heard that. Confusion could be seen in their eyes. They couldn\'t believe that the most powerful guardian warrior left his position as their leader.
"For what reason he did that?" The Elder Shaman probed. Everyone wanted to hear the reason why Liam quit as the leader of guardian warrior.
"Because… there is no reason for us to do this. The demon god\'s daughter is no longer a threat to humankind." Riyu continued sharing Liam\'s point of view to all guardian warriors.
"What do you mean by that? Did you all succeed in killing the demon god\'s daughter?" Another Elder spoke up, to have a clear picture of what Riyu was telling them right now.
Riyu and the others were silent for several seconds. She was contemplating whether to tell them that the demon god\'s daughter died or she had become a good person.
Riyu knew that Liam wanted to protect Zhen-Zhen and gave her a peaceful life wherein the guardian warriors would no longer try to hunt her down.
This was the reason she was relaying this message to her. Because she believes Liam\'s judgment. The demon god\'s daughter would never hurt ordinary humans. She was living there like a normal human being. She had her own family.
Their descendants already killed her mother. They made her suffer during her childhood years, sealing her in the divine mountain. Now, it\'s the time to let her go.
"Yes… There is no demon god\'s daughter living in this world or the other world." Riyu declared to them, making everyone speechless. Was it really over?
The Elders began talking to each other, still discussing whether to believe Riyu\'s statement or not.
After a few seconds, they moved their gaze to the three men– Shiba, Shino, and Calec.
"How about the three of you? Are you not going to speak? Is Riyu telling the truth? Then what is the reason why Mheera didn\'t return here? She is our Head Shaman. She has the responsibility to go back." Mheera\'s grandmother interrogated them. She had a bad feeling since her granddaughter didn\'t return. She was very anxious and worried about her.
Shino and Shiba exchanged glances with one another. They were still contemplating whether to support Riyu\'s claim or not. They were also afraid because the demon god had returned so there was no way they could win against him. He warned them not to show themselves to him otherwise, he would really kill them the next time.
Meanwhile, Calec was having a dark expression. He didn\'t agree with Riyu\'s statement at all. Besides, he still had a grudge against Liam. He was also worried about Mheera.
Since the elders gave them the opportunity to speak, Calec had decided to tell them what he considered \'TRUTH\'.
Calec stood up, wielding his sword against Riyu. Everyone was surprised when they witnessed it. Even Shino and Shiba were caught by surprise.
"Calec?!! What are you doing? Put down your sword!" The elders suddenly felt alarmed when Calec pointed the tip of his sword at Riyu\'s neck.
"Don\'t believe her words! She\'s lying to us. The guardian leader poisoned her mind to tell these lies in front of everyone here."
"Calec, you are crazy!" Riyu ground her teeth.
"Haha. You and the Guardian Leader are the crazy ones. You both sided with our enemies!"
Everyone started to murmur at their seats. They didn\'t know what was happening to Riyu and Calec.
"The demon god\'s daughter is alive! And you also need to know that the demon god is also alive!!!"
This statement from Calec brought an uproar in the hall. Everyone panicked when they heard that the demon god was alive.
"Are you sure? Is Calec telling the truth? Shiba and Shino! Tell us. Who is telling the truth between Calec and Riyu?"
Shiba and Shino were put on the difficult situation. They darted their gaze back and forth between Riyu and Calec. They couldn\'t decide whom they should support. But typically, both of them were telling the truth.
The demon god\'s daughter was no longer a threat to humankind and the demon god was alive.
"Shiba and Shino! Answer us!" The elders were now pressuring them.
"It\'s true… the demon god\'s daughter is no longer a threat," Shiba responded.
"But she is alive, along with the demon god." Shino also spoke up.
"See… Riyu is lying. She is covering them up because of our former guardian leader! You have to listen to me!"
"Stop it, Calec! Why are you doing this? Why are you complicating things!" Riyu was opposing him.
"I\'m just telling the truth…" Calec turned to face the elders. "Our former guardian leader betrayed us as he fell in love with the demon god\'s daughter!"
"WHAT?!!"
