Chapter 704 - 704: Not So Secret
"How should I know," Yaliza replied. "You should\'ve asked the question to Lucifer."
"Still, what I can assume is that the Sword must be special. Because Zale and Clarisse weren\'t people who used swords but still they carried one, according to Lucifer. And he wants that Sword?"
"You mean it might be a special sword like the sword created by the Warlock Council using one of the seven stones?"
"Maybe?" Yaliza shrugged. "We should be more focused about finding the sword than anything else. Level four monsters aren\'t a joke. And we might need to go to the Dungeon Core to find the Sword."
Day turned to night and night to day as multiple planes continued to travel nonstop, each going to a different destination.
The first to land at their destination was the plane carrying Arthur and Jiani.
It landed in another small nation which was on the continent of Triton.
It came under the jurisdiction of the Warlock Council; however, the nation didn\'t have any members that were a part of the Warlock Council.
There was only one Variant in the nation who was very popular. In fact, he was also offered a place in the Warlock Council as a member after looking at his talent, but the man refused to join the council.
In the entire continent, Arlan was known as the second strongest Summoner after the Warlock Council head that was killed by Lucifer. However, after Zhu\'s death, he became the strongest Summoner by default.
No one understood why Arlan said no to the Warlock Council offer, but many people had many theories.
Some said that he didn\'t want to be an ordinary member. He wanted to be a Warlock Council head like Zhu and considered any other offer as an insult because he considered himself no less than Zhu as a Summoner. That\'s why he said no.
There were also many others who just said that he said no because he was lazy. He didn\'t want to work for the Warlock Council and just rest at home and enjoy his life.
There were also some theories that the Warlock Council never offered him a place, and it was just a rumor spread by Arlan to increase his reputation in the country.
Arthur and Jiani read all of these details in the briefing documents they were given about Arlan.
The two of them flew above the city, advancing towards the biggest mansion in the city.
Seeing two people fly above the city, there was a different kind of excitement in the citizens. It wasn\'t often that they saw Variants in the city since the only one here was Arlan, and he couldn\'t fly without beasts.
Many Citizens wondered if the Warlock Council sent these two to convince Arlan again.
"The man certainly knows how to live a Royal Life," Jiani commented as she landed before the mansion, which was guarded by two humans.
"Ah, weren\'t we supposed to be stealthy?" Arthur asked, rolling his eyes.
"Who cares. Let\'s just finish it fast. If we need to be careful with weaklings like that, won\'t it be embarrassing?" Jiani responded.
She walked to the guards. "We are here to meet Arlan?\'
"Are you two Variants?" The guards asked.
"No, we are magicians who came here flying," Jiani responded sarcastically.
"She is joking. We are Variants. And we are here to meet Arlan."
"May I know the purpose of your visit?" The guard asked, struggling to keep his composure. They were really scared of Variants despite working for one.
"I\'m afraid we can only tell that to Arlan."
"Wait here. We\'ll inform him about your arrival first."
"Man, that seems like it\'ll take a really long time. I have a better idea."
Jiani\'s figure flickered as she appeared beside one of the guards. She stabbed her teeth in his neck.
"This woman..." Arthur sighed. He also got involved since he had no other option. Now that things had reached this level, he couldn\'t stay away.
He also appeared behind the second guard, twisting his head.
Both the guards dropped to the ground with only one bleeding from his neck.
"He was tasty; I\'m not joking. You should try as well." Jiani licked her blood covered lips, smirking.
"Focus on the mission," Arthur replied, rolling his eyes.
He walked inside the mansion.
"Where is Arlan?" He asked the first maid he saw.
"S-second room to the left on the first floor." The maid instantly gave him the information.
Arthur left the maid alive and teleported to the first floor.
He walked to the room which was told to him by the maid. Jiani also caught up to him.
Jiani was about to kick the door open, but Arthur stopped him. "We aren\'t here to kill him. Just let me deal with the rest."
"Fine."
Arthur teleported inside the room without making much noise, only to be stunned at what he was watching.
He was here to kidnap Arlan; meanwhile, Arlan was busy with two ladies in the room. One was sitting on top of him, moving up and down, while the other woman was lying beside him, kissing him.
Both his hands were busy as well, one resting on the first one\'s waist while the other playing with the breasts of the second lady.
Arthur just looked blankly at the man, shaking his hand.
The man didn\'t have any idea that someone had infiltrated his room.
Arthur brought one of the Limiters out of his pocket before he teleported again.
He appeared closer to Arlan and placed the Limiter on the hand of the man, which was moving towards the breasts of the woman who remained on top of him.
"What?" The man felt something on his wrist. He stopped kissing the second woman and looked around.
"Greetings, Arlan."
"Who are you? How did you get inside?" Arlan moved the woman aside and sat up.
"Arghh!"
Before he could speak something else, he started screaming in pain. Before long, he dropped on the bed as his eyes closed.
"The Limiter certainly works. It\'s certainly intriguing. I wonder how it really works?" Arthur muttered, observing the Limiter on the wrist of Arlan.
He was sure that Arlan tried to summon some beast. That\'s why the Limiter shocked him.
He turned to the two women who didn\'t have a shred of clothes on their bodies.. "Ladies, can you help him wear some clothes? I don\'t want to drag a naked man back."
