"What takes you so long just to take care of him?" Tang Shaoyang questioned Karan as he put the body into his inventory.
"Can’t bla for trying to seek the thrill of war that I have missed for so long!"
Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh, "As I said before, this is an actual battle, a war, Karan. Winning the war takes priority over your fun fight!"
Karan shrugged, "You are quite chatty today... I guess it makes sense." He recalled what this war stemd from, and it made sense why his Master was quite stricter than usual. Then the red-skinned orc grinned ear to ear.
"Then let’s finish this side and hunt the remaining forces!"
Karan’s feet sank onto the ground, then he made a leap. The ground burst into cracks and created a crater as the five-ter figure disappeared.
"Then we are going to hunt as well!" Tang Shaoyang muttered.
He was speaking with Zara because he integrated with her. That was the reason he had her wings on his back. While his spirits ran amok, clashing against the Shadow Star’s army, he was chasing after the assassin in the shadows. That was to minimize the casualty, to keep the number of his spirits up there for the actual fight.
Those assassins were what killed his spirits, especially the calamity spirits who didn’t have experience handling that kind of battle. He lost ten more calamity spirits to take down a city, and he wanted to ensure not to lose more than what he had lost.

The Black Executioner Havel didn’t leave right away. He stayed behind and watched the fight between Remin and the red-skinned orc.
His main goal was not to watch the fight. He had two goals by staying behind. First, it was to gather more information about Tang Shaoyang and his summons. Second, it was to bring back Remin with him if possible. That was not just his decision, but the other Elders told him to bring Remin with him if possible.
He almost fled when he saw the Hurakan Kingdom’s people, but he doubted they were actually the Hurakan Kingdom’s people. That was why he decided to stay since no one found him. Havel knew more about the Spirit Contractor than Remin.
After losing against the Fallen Angel, he sent a few ssages outside, gathering more information about the Spirit Contractor. He learned that spirits were not limited to beasts, beastn, or calamities. The spirits were those who had died, but they could be summoned as spirits again.
Those knights might be the knights who died in the Void Gate’s area. It made sense that Tang Shaoyang summoned them because of his duty to guard the Void Gate.
So those people might have been spirits, just like they admitted that they were not part of the Hurakan Kingdom and burned the cape. However, that information could be used against Tang Shaoyang. They could get the Hurakan Kingdom involved as well.
Of course, for assassin factions, the Shadow Star had insider information on how Tang Shaoyang had a conflict with the Hurakan Kingdom as well. If the Hurakan Kingdom knew that Tang Shaoyang summoned their fallen knight spirits, the Hurakan Kingdom would not take this well.
This was the reason why information was important. With this information, the Shadow Star could turn this around against Tang Shaoyang and possibly destroy the Tang Empire as well.
He stayed longer and witnessed how Remin died helplessly. He could not even sense Tang Shaoyang’s presence. It just happened: the Executive Administrator appeared out of nowhere and killed Remin. Remin himself was not aware that he had died for so ti.
Looking at the figure who murdered his comrade in cold blood, he almost fled right away. But he braced himself to stay, wanting to get more information about Tang Shaoyang and his spirits.
He had taken a note about the red-skinned orc who overwheld Remin. This was when Havel faced the harsh reality. The Shadow Star was not ant to fight head-on. They were ant to assassinate; fighting enemies head-on was plain stupid for them.
Havel thought he was safe until the Executive Administrator Tang Shaoyang snapped at his direction. He was hiding in the shadows, but he felt like their eyes t there. His heart almost jumped in shock, and he didn’t hesitate to dematerialize into shadow in the shadow to leave this place. There was no hesitation, he left right away. He must bring back this information.

Clentine returned to her room in the Administrator Space. It had been a while since she returned from Starter City. Tang Shaoyang’s face resurfaced in her mind, and of course, this had nothing to do with romantic feelings. She had overco such a weakness a long ti ago.
That gaze, that expression, and his words. That was what made her unsettled. Without a doubt, Tang Shaoyang would not stay still, especially after hearing more about him from Arion. The reason Tang Shaoyang ca this far was because of his family, and a force threatened that family. She was convinced that Tang Shaoyang would do sothing to the Shadow Star as well as the Daenelis Clan.
The thing she was concerned about was what he would do. That was what caused her to be unsettled. She was afraid that Tang Shaoyang would bring a wave of war into the God Realm.
That was possible with how big the Ten Stars Accord was. It was even more possible how crazy Tang Shaoyang was. For soone who was not even afraid of the Hurakan Kingdom, Tang Shaoyang would not think twice to fight the Ten Stars Accord.
She was in deep thought, thinking about the possibility of what Tang Shaoyang would do to the Shadow Star. Her muse was disturbed as she sensed soone had arrived in her room. Not just one, but two at the sa ti. Only a limited people had access to her room, with the majority of them being the other Executive Administrators.
Clentine looked up at where she sensed the presence. It was Arion and Baba. The mont she saw them, the unsettled feelings increased. She imdiately knew troubles were coming, and this must be about Tang Shaoyang since it was Baba and Arion.
Arion looked happy and excited, but Baba showed the opposite reaction. Baba was pensive and looked displeased.
"What did he do?"
Arion burst into laughter when he heard the question because of Clentine’s accurate guess. Baba threw a nasty glare at him, but he ignored Baba.
"This is not funny, Arion!"
Arion shrugged and responded nonchalantly, "Not funny for you, but it’s funny for ."
Baba knew it was just a waste of ti to continue the pointless argunt. Arion was that kind of person, after all. He turned toward Clentine.
"Your golden boy is about to cause another Realm War!"
