Book 9: Chapter 75: Familiar (1)

The North of Celestial Quadrant suddenly gained movement no one would ever expect. The archenemies, the Pakals and Ragnors, suddenly began to move all of their elites toward one location. If the Uidah and the Five Beast Clans hadn’t been mostly under Dyon’s control, they wouldn’t have stood a chance once such a thing occurred. Not only would they have no idea such a double-headed attack was coming, they wouldn’t be equipped to fight it off either.

What these lofty Clans didn’t know as they practically guaranteed themselves victory should these talks go according to plan was that their movements would have never occurred had it not been for the actions of one small mere Saint.

All these years, the Ragnors and the Pakals had been on Connery’s puppet strings, maintaining a delicate balance within Blood Universe. In fact, in order to ensure that this balance was maintained to perfection, Connery’s actions crushed a slowly rising third part before they could mature by inciting the Uidah into destroying the Guatama Clan.

To this day, the Uidah upper echelon believed themselves to be great, when in reality, they were nothing but fools. Because they killed their greatest ally, their battle power halved. The only reason they had yet to leap over the final hurdle to become an Emperor God Clan was precisely because of this!

Yet, Connery had made a mistake. Despite being aware of Dyon’s existence, he didn’t believe it mattered.. He assumed that Dyon would take too long to mature, and by then, the situation of Celestial Quadrant would be irreversible.

The truth was that Connery was far more powerful than what he had displayed, but he had to hide this for obvious reason. Then, the appearance of Madeleine’s biological parents threw any thoughts he had of killing Dyon before he could grow by the wayside. In the end, he comforted himself, believing that the result would be the same regardless… But…

How could he have known that the information he just read, information he thought he received from a Sapientia Branch Clan in Pakal territory, was actually intercepted and altered by Evelyn Sapientia? A woman he thought hated Dyon with every fiber of her being? How could he know that the sigh of relief he just breathed was empty?

Maybe it was just a simple coincidence, but two adjacent quadrants were suddenly embroiled in war. On one side, there was the Celestial Quadrant, and on the other, the Kitsune-Shruti Quadrant.

Not allowing the secluded Kitsune to continue to store up their momentum, the Shruti launched a decisive attack, pressing forward with the advantage of surprise. Though their ally in the Atlas Clan couldn’t act directly, not wanting to break the unspoken rules of the tower quadrants, they acted in the background, providing everything from weapons to pills in silent support.

The Shruti Clan was a war machine. In fact, it was a testament to the kitsune’s status as Supreme Beasts that they had survived for so long.

One had to remember that Saru was sent to Dyon’s home universe as a trial given to her by Shruti tradition. Those of noble blood within the Shruti Clan were tasked with conquering a territory of their own. The size of this territory then dictated their status for the rest of their lives. If one wanted greater status? They would have to conquer more territories!

This was the kind of Clan the Shruti were. With beast blood running through their veins, but the genes of humans backing their talent as well, they were a unique combination rarely seen in the martial world. To now, only the Mino Clan could also match this description.

As for the Dukes and Duchesses so feared so more in Ragnor Legends? They were none other than the Generals of the Shruti Army! The Ragnors would never imagine that the Dukes and Duchesses they feared so much were geniuses from the mere 30^th ranked quadrant.

However, just when the Shruti believed they had the upper hand, the kitsune decisively struck back. The Shruti could hardly believe that a Clan they couldn’t have been more familiar with changed so drastically in just 10 years.

It couldn’t be said that they had suddenly become powerful. Rather, they were… organized.

They began to use their Void Tunnel creating abilities to their advantage. Suddenly, void tunnels the Shruti had never thought existed began to pop up in droves. The Shruti suffered so many pincer and surprise attacks under such tactics that they were continuously pushed onto their back foots.

Territory the Shruti believed they had had a good enough claim on was ripped from their grasp. Steadily, but surely, they were pushed out of Kitsune Territory, beaten and bloodied.

This loss alone was demoralizing enough… The mighty Shruti war machine slapped back by beasts who didn’t dare to enter their true forms for fear of being coddled like puppies… But, matters were destined to become worse.

It was then that mysterious backers of the Kitsune suddenly appeared. They were warriors of such unbridled, unrestrained power that even the elders of the Shruti Clan could only die under their hands one after another.

The Shruti had no choice but to run, pushing their defensive lines as far back as they dared and using the cultivation cap of the Gates to their advantage. If it wasn’t for Saru’s key wielding abilities, there was no doubt, the Shruti Clan would have lost several universes in an instant.

This matter would be mostly ignored… But it was a precursor to a lurking trouble… A hidden warning… Or, maybe it wasn’t so hidden at all.
