Chapter 487 - Demon Summoning Scroll

After talking to Remina, Torkez left their hideout as he went to the northern part of the city. He entered a small inn and quietly went upstairs.

Knock!

He knocked on the door and after he received a reply, he entered the room while looking at his surrounding.

Inside the room, he saw Alice standing in front of the window.

Torkez looked around the room and asked, "Where is Isabella?"

"She just went out saying that she wanted to familiarize herself in this city," Alice said with a sigh. She could understand why Isabella was like that. Isabella was a slave before so she hasn\'t gone to any place that she wanted.

"I see..." Torkez nodded.

"The Clautus Group that you are talking about... Can you tell me more about it?" Alice quickly went to the main topic.

The two talked about the Clautus Group and their future plan. How this group could benefit them and how much it would help them. Also, they talked about the leading organization in this city, the Red Witch and Nine Lives.

At the end of their conversation, Torkez passed the scribble that he received from Remina\'s subordinate to Alice.

"Hmm... What\'s this?" Alice asked as she looked at the paper in her hand.

"Err... They said that the magic circle in the scroll looked like this one. Maybe, you know something about it." Torkez said with an awkward expression.

"..." Alice flinched when she saw the scribble on the paper. She then looked at Torkez and said, "Continue supporting that group... I\'ll think that the Red Witch and Nine Lives will be moving soon. Some of the rulers of this country will be forced to move and the whole city will turn upside down."

"I have the same thoughts too. The Clautus Group will become a casualty if we didn\'t help them. After the two organizations got ahold of the scroll, their movements became frequent. It\'s easy to guess that they are planning something big." Torkez nodded before he turned around. "I\'ll go now. See you later."

"Okay, be careful. I\'ll continue my investigation alone." Alice nodded.

If they could take out the Red Witch and Nine Lives then it\'s better for them. The only problem was that it will attract the attention of the other organizations in the country.

Alice went to the table after Torkez left the room. She placed the paper on top of it and stared at the scribble.

"No matter how much I look at it, I think that this is a Demon Summoning Circle."

She muttered as her brows knitted tightly. She stretched out her hand and burned the paper before she sat down on the floor.

"If this is really the Demon Summoning Circle then I should prepare myself."

She mumbled with a grave expression before she set up fields around the room. Then, a dark aura oozed out of her body like a mist. Her body slowly transformed and changed into her demon form.

"I need to intercept it no matter what happens."

...

The Clautus Group wasn\'t the only one who noticed the strange actions of the Red Witch and Nine Lives. The Purple Heart Tower, one of the seven towers that ruled the Numan Country, also noticed the movements of the two organizations. So the Purple Heart Tower sent some of their forces to investigate this matter.

Torkez and the Clautus Group launched an attack on the three meeting places of the two organizations. They cleaned it up and interrogated the members of the two organizations unfortunately their position wasn\'t high so they didn\'t even know the plan of their leaders.

They didn\'t get any information about the scroll. Luckily, they got intel about the person who betrayed Remina. That person was now one of the squad leaders of the Red Witch.

"Is Jovin the person who betrayed you?" Torkez asked.

"Yeah, he is at the peak of Ruin Realm so it\'s possible that he really become a squad leader of the Red Witch." Remina nodded her head.

"Then, we\'ll focus on finding that man first," Torkez said after he contemplated what they should do.

On the next day, the news about the attack on the meeting places of the Red Witch and Nine Lives spread out. Ordinary people didn\'t know about it but the people who know the underground world of the Blue Ray City heard about it.

"Those rats!!" Amanda cursed when she heard the news. She glanced at the people below her with cold eyes before she said, "Kill those Clautus rats... I don\'t want them to disturb the ritual."

"Yes, My Mistress. You can leave those Clautus rats to me. I\'ll make sure that they wouldn\'t disturb the ritual." One of the executives of the Red Witch said in a respectful tone.

"This incident is quite big. It attracted the attention of the Purple Heart Tower so before they realized what we are trying to do we should finish the ritual as soon as possible." Amanda said before she stood up from her seat. She then walked out of the dark room. "I\'ll go meet the leader of the Nine Lives so take care of the rats that trying to stop us."

"Yes, My Mistress!!"

Amanda didn\'t look back. Her mana wrapped around her seductive body before she leaped in the mid-air.

Swoosh!

She was too fast for other people to notice her movements. In just a few minutes, she landed down in front of a church.

"This is the place..."

She gazed at the old church in front of her. Then, she turned her head to the side as she noticed a presence.

"You\'re here, Amanda. How is the preparation?"

A man with long white hair and mustache wearing a black coat approached her. This man was the leader of the Nine Lives, Greyman Firnes.

"It\'s good. We could start the ritual tomorrow." Amanda replied to Greyman before she entered the church.

This was the ritual place. They will summon a demon in this land and use its power to conquer this city. But before that, they needed to make sure that they could control the demon, or else they were the ones who are going to die.

Finally, after the ritual, the whole Blue Ray City will be in their hands. Then, they would reach the Annihilation Realm will the help of the demon that they will summon. Even those bastards from the capital wouldn\'t be able to do anything to them.

They will become the true ruler of this city. They didn\'t want to stay in the dark anymore.

...

Torkez was standing on the rooftop of the building looking at the people of the Clautus Group on the ground.

The Clautus Group was moving swiftly as they headed towards the west. According to their intel, the man who betrayed them was in that direction.

"This morning the members of the Red Witch and Nine Lives are gathering on the south. I don\'t know what they are planning but I have a bad feeling about it."

He muttered as he turned his head to the south. He could go there and investigate the situation but that means leaving the Clautus Group alone. He knew that no matter what happened Souta wasn\'t going to show himself as the time wasn\'t ripe yet. It\'s too early for his leader to make an appearance that\'s why he was thinking of using the Clautus Group as a foothold.

"I will help them defeat the Red Witch and Nine Lives then the Clautus Group will swallow the two organizations. They will become a leading organization in this city and that will attract the attention of the closest tower here, the Purple Heart Tower."

The foundation of this country was the eleven pavilions, seven towers, three lords, and one palace. They were the ones who built this country after destroying the High Serenity Palace one hundred years ago.

"But I don\'t need to worry about it. Unlike the Red Witch and Nine Lives, the Clautus Group had a decent reputation so they will probably accept it. I will make this group the path so that when Souta decided to show himself he will have a foothold in this world."

A smile formed on his face. He did think that this was a good a plan. He just needed to be careful about the Red Witch and Nine Lives\' leaders. He was sure that they were both A-rank so it seems that he needed to make a move personally.

Swoosh!!

His figure disappeared as he followed the group on the western part of the city.

In just a few minutes, he arrived on the scene and he saw the Clautus Group fighting a bunch of guys wearing red robes.

The battle was intense but they were greatly outnumbered. The person who was commanding the members of the Red Witch was a man in his early twenties. He had short blue hair which was combed on the left part of his head.

"So that\'s the man who betrayed Remina. Hmm... His power level is only C-rank but it seems that this whole gathering is a trap to eliminate her."

Torkez commented while looking at the battle from above.
