The others emperors were watching with a calm faces.
The mont he declared his hostility, a crack in space opened with ominous-looking eyes peering from beyond the crack in space. An invisible wave of power assaulted the king.
Poof!
Richard started spewing blood as soone smashed him against a wall so distance away. He imdiately blacked out from the force of this attack.
"What?!"
The remaining people all gasped in surprise.
A voice ca from the distorted space, they felt terror for the first ti in their lives.
"Be careful in your ventures for everything cos at a price. I never expected to hear sothing like this upon my return.''
Then finally a figure clad in a beautiful dress appeared, a woman of otherworldly beauty, those present shuddered upon seeing her face as their recognized her, the strongest empress had returned.
''T..
Typhania!'' Julius mumbled with a trembling voice, he was so shocked that he didn't dare to believe his eyes and she was not the only one, almost everyone present had a face full of shock at the entrance of this legendary figure, only one person present at the mont was not shocked and was calmly observing her old friend put on a show and this person is none than Lilith, however, others were to busy at the mont to focus on her.
Everyone except Lilith stood up and welcod the legendary figure, Typhania, the elven empress and the strongest figure hundreds of years ago.
''We pay respect to the mighty empress.'' Everyone present respectfully bowed to the legendary figure and you could see a relieved smile plastered on their faces. It was understandable because of the arrival of this woman would an things were completely hopeless, she is like the beacon of hope amidst the storm.
The fact that she disappeared from the radar after their defeat and her whereabouts were totally unknown until she reappeared today could only an that she was back with a solution.
During the ti she was gone many speculations ran wild, for example, so said she might still be among us disguised as soone else and the one they thought she could be is none other than Elseria, however, even after Typhania appeared Elseria was present which would an they got wrong, Elseria wasn't Typhania in disguise.
''It is good to see so promising seeds among the new generation. Please sit back.'' Typhania used her Spirit Art to create a chair, it was simple but elegant.
Julius exchanged a look with the others before they regained their seats and the eting continued, Typhania silently observed and would sothing interject to say a few words.
The eting continued for two more hours until an incident happened.
•••
Sowhere in Mysthia.
Lustrous braziers surrounding each of the sixteen travertine columns light up the entire throne hall and radiate warmth across this hall. The countless gems on the rounded ceiling dance in the flickering light while stone effigies and carved images look down upon the stone floor of this royal hall.
An ivory rug splits the entire room in half and is matched by the thinner ones on either side of the hall while swallowing tail banners with ornate decorations on the walls. Between each banner hangs a lantern, a few of them have been lit and in turn illuminate the paintings of late heroes below them.
Humble, stained glass windows depicting divine beings are enclosed by veils colored the sa ivory as the banners. The curtains have been adorned with fine patterns and decorated tips.
A towering throne of marble sits atop a balcony overlooking the throne hall and is adjoined by six similar, but smaller seats for esteed guests.
The throne is covered in sacred carvings and fixed on each of the rear legs is a gilded dragon. The fluffy pillows are light ivory and these too have been adorned with gilded needlework.
Those wishing to witness their royal highness can do so on the several brightly decorated iron benches, all of which are diagonally facing the throne. Those of higher standing can instead take a seat in the stately zzanines overlooking the throne.
And currently sitting on the towering throne of marble is Lord Thanos when suddenly two shadows materialized, forcing the second in command in the Chaos Organization to snap his eyes open. His eyes were scarlet like blood with a taint of black in them like a kaleidoscope, lowering them, they landed on the shadows, making them tremble uncontrollably.
''Have the team sent to deal with Alexander succeeded?" Lord Thanos asked but one of the shadows shook his head and when Lord Thanos wanted to punish this incompetent man, the second shadow hastily declared.
''She is back!"
BOOM!
Imdiately, following this declaration the giant throne was smashed into smithereens by an invisible force.
''When did she co back?"
''Today, one of our spies inford us. She appeared during a eting, shocking them all. At the end of this eting she wobbled and almost fell, she vomited black blood before leaving. I think the injury inflicted on her by our God must still be there.'' The shadows inford their Lord.
Lord Thanos stayed silent for a mont, contemplating whether or not this might be a deceptive maneuver by the enemy to trick them but knowing that it was impossible to easily get rid of Bahamut's curse, if not impossible, Lord Thanos discarded his worries.
''Go inform the others to accelerate the plan, as for I will go see our lord.''
Lord Thanos dismissed his subordinates with a flick of his finger and because he wanted to relieve so of his stress and celebrate this good news, the poor shadows were sent flying outside of the throne hall, slamming into the thick wall outside.
BANG!! Boom!!
Their head felt heavier and heavier as each pulse of throbbing pain pounded their senses over and over again. Their mind raced, half panicked half determined. There must be an answer to this pain, there must be a way to make it stop. For a mont they focused on the pain, honing in on every sensation.
Where it ca from, how badly it hurt and how badly they wanted it to stop.
They squeezed their eyes shut tight and their face turned to a grimace.
Swallowing the pain and ignoring it the best they could be their only option. They longed for their bed, a hot bath, or just a fluffy pillow to lie on, but right now that wasn't an option for them.
Right now all they cared about was carrying on and ignoring the pain because slacking off because of this injury and not imdiately carrying their Lord's order would be their end, beside who knows if their Lord wasn't testing them? Would they fail to endure this little bit of hardship this would an they aren't worthy of their Lord's grace and would never climb up the ladder?
~Back to Lord Thanos.
''Finally, you have stopped hiding. Let's see what your arrival can change.''
He was confident that no matter what plan this woman hailed as the strongest in the past era had, the result wouldn't change as making this world theirs was just a matter of ti, nothing could change the outco, not even the strongest, nor the snotty brat from the prophecy, people might think that the association of the two could bring so change but it would be only delaying the inevitable.
''Hehehehe! Struggle! Struggle hard as you can until Chaos swallows everything.''
°°°
Back to the headquarters of the Adventurer guild, on the highest floor.
Typhania was enjoying tea served by Elseria while Lilith was glaring at her.
''Relax Lily, you will never be beautiful as if you keep frowning like that.''
''I say Typhania can you cancel your clone?" Instead of falling for Typhania's obvious trap, Lilith said sothing which had been bothering her. Unlike others, she knew Typhania had sent a clone disguised as Elseria while the real her would appear later.
''Tch!'' Typhania clicked her tongue, obviously disappointed that her prank failed. She flicked her fingers and Elseria turned into leaves and vanished.
''Was all that drama necessary? You even injured one of our own.'' Lilith launched a complaint as soon as Typhania canceled her clone.
Typhania did not imdiately respond, she first finished her tea, elegantly putting the teacup on the saucer set, she crossed her legs, flashing those beautiful creamy legs.
''I was getting rid of a spy.'' She calmly declared making Lilith furrow a brow. She had anticipated sothing like this but getting a confirmation still shocked her.
''As for my last move, that was a bit of I know, however, I had to do this to mislead the enemy. I must never let them know that I have recovered or else they'll beco more vigilant making things hard for us. This will be our trump card, let them believe that we are still cursed.
If the boy successfully finished what he had to do, we have to convince him to help us, we must select a few trustworthy allies whose curse shall be lifted. The enemy must learn by now of my return.''
''The world has to know I'm back,'' Typhania added.
