Chapter 300: Revenge~ (2/2)
On one hand, while Raven was happy for Blaze since he was almost like a brother to her now, she also felt a little threatened by the future improvements of his because of their years-old rivalry. He was already ahead of him in terms of raw power and she didn't want that distance to increase.
But after a second, she calmed down. It wasn't as if both of them weren't giving their best to grow stronger already. At most, Blaze might just pay more attention to things other than cultivation.
Contrary to her, Ozul thought highly of this newfound fire that burned within Blaze now.
He understood better than anyone that Blaze's talent was more than it appeared to be. He had a very strong sense of feeling that he hadn't even shown his full potential yet.
His instincts, along with the fact that he had found no signs of any other human being with remotely comparable physical features to Blaze's crystal crown, led him to believe that he wouldn't find an answer to his peculiar condition in this world either.
And since that was the case, he suspected that Blaze would be able to unleash his full potential outside of this world. At that point, Ozul had no doubt that it wouldn't take him long to become a terrifying existence.
It was also why he valued Blaze. He needed strong people and Blaze had the greatest potential of anyone that he had ever met as of yet.
Hence he couldn't help but feel delighted at the current state of Blaze.
Taking his head off of his arm, Ozul stood up from the chair he had made for himself before retracting that Ball of Purity back into his body.
He turned around and began to walk towards the tower, ”Hurry up. Both of you don't have much time to finish things on your part.”
Raven also closely followed behind.
On the other hand, it took Blaze a few seconds before he stood up and took a deep breath. A smile bloomed on his face as he again wrapped the piece of cloth on his forehead to cover the crystals.
Although he didn't care if anyone saw them anymore, it was already an annoyance when everyone would turn to look at his face. Showing those crystals in public would leave everyone gaping at his face.
Moreover, he had already gotten used to having that cloth on his forehead. So it wasn't a problem for him.
He didn't bother cleaning up the half-frozen corpse of the priest in the training ground since Haley would probably have others clean up the mess anyway.
.. .
Inside the tower, Ozul looked for Haley who wasn't really hard to find on the top floors.
When Haley noticed the bloodstains on Blaze's clothes, she could guess what had happened with the priest in the training ground.
She turned around and whispered something to a subordinate who immediately stopped whatever she was doing and walked away upon receiving her instructions.
Turning back to Ozul, although Haley had questions. She, in the end, chose not to ask.
If it was something important, Ozul wouldn't have held anything back.
”Have you prepared everything for them?” Ozul asked in an unhurried manner.
”Yes, young master. I have prepared everything. They have also been informed of nearly everything and all the arrangements have also been done...”
Haley respectfully explained as Ozul wasn't aware of the details since he had spent his previous two days out in the wild without any communication with them.
”Hm. Since that is the case. Both of you can leave now... Keep Haley updated every single day.” Ozul turned towards the duo as he said this.
Haley had already made sure that all the branches of the Three-Eyed Strangers also had those long-distance communication artifacts installed in them.
The duo nodded their heads as Raven spoke, ”We will be on our way then.”
Under Ozul's influence, she wasn't one to waste her words either.
Without another word, Raven and Blaze left the tower in order to complete their mission.
Ozul rarely gave them any task to do, so they were very eager to prove themselves with this chance.
After getting out of the tower, both of them flew in the opposite directions so as to cover both sides of the continent.
”...How are the arrangements going to relocate the headquarters?” Ozul asked Haley as he felt the duo leaving his range of sensibility.
Meanwhile, his eyes stared at Jinx who blankly stared at him from a distance.
'I guess it is time to find her...'
