Chapter 551 Gift Returned

[Item Gained] Sword of Champions

[Artifact Grade Item]

The blade was beautiful, glowing a faint Mythril blue and covered with runes that leaked power, but it felt hollow, completely drained of Soul Energy.

Leafa had used every drop of energy that it had trying to escape the Emperor, but she hadn't managed to get away, and with her aura returned to Overlord Rank, the Emperor seemed confident that she would no longer be a threat to him.

The Haint seemed unconcerned as he set her back on her feet while he sat in the grass catching his breath and letting his regeneration regrow the missing chunks of his body.

"Oh, it's the merchant Karl and his band of merrymakers. Good to see you again." She greeted them.

"It's a pleasure to see you as well, Councilwoman. Do either of you require healing? It might be a moment before our clerics recover, but we can help."

She waved her hand dismissively. "We will be fine by then. Did you see the Oracle lately?"

"He's at the farm we were at earlier."

Leafa nodded. "Lovely. Where was that?"

Karl gestured in the right direction. "About a half hour jog that way. You'll find them easily enough with soul sight, they have a number of Royal Rank Minotaurs with them."

"You know about soul sight? That makes life easier. We should take time to catch up one day."

The Emperor was glaring at Karl, who was baffled by the Haint's strange behaviour.

She remembered him, but she appeared to have lost her short-term memory, or perhaps it had been purged by the spell she was under.

"Certainly. I am sure that you have a wealth of knowledge to pass on." Karl agreed easily.

She was one of the leaders of this nation, and while she was openly fighting with the Emperor only a few minutes ago, anyone could see that they had settled their issue.

The Emperor stared at the cloth wagon full of children.

"Is there a particular reason for the relocation?" He asked delicately.

"The damage from the recent incidents left them homeless. We were going to bring them to a group that could protect them." Karl replied with a casual shrug.

That could be a lot further now that the two Totem Rank monsters had levelled half of the countryside. But eventually, they would find a safe spot to drop everyone off.

"I will bring them with me. Once we recover the Oracle, I will bring everyone to the Fortress." The Emperor insisted.

"They might be alright at the location where the Oracle is waiting, The defenders there are strong enough to deal with most of what is left."
