Corrupted soul

A terrifying army!

As the four presences revealed themselves the tremendous pressure in the surroundings became heavier. The ground cracked and broke apart, while small cracks appeared on the walls.

"... You arrived much sooner than I thought. Well, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised with how much you all feared that man." Arous turned his head to look at the four presences indifferently.

The light in Alioth's eyes flickered as he stared at Arous. "You are from the Steller white clan; didn't the members of that clan die during the last war?" Alioth asked, his voice was laced with curiosity. After all, a clan as powerful as the Steller white clan should be in the upper world.

"... Oh, I'm surprised you still remember us. And here I thought our existence has been forgotten through the passage of time." Arous chuckled to himself as he observed the ones before him.

Standing on his left, the silver-haired youth cautiously grasp the hilt of his sword, preparing to attack at any moment. However, Alioth, Theia, Sunna and Isis completely discarded his existence. There was no need for them to fear the prowess of a mere demigod after all.

"Why are you here, in the lower world? Arous you were once a great elder from the Steller white clan, if you are still alive you could have gained a high position within the upper world." Alioth responded.

"With the destruction of my clan, why would I be interested in the upper world? When we were attacked, all of you turned a blind eye to us and ignored our existence, didn't you?"

"... When you were attacked, what do you mean? Who attacked you, weren't you all wiped out during the last great war?" Alioth furrowed his brow in confusion. According to what he had heard, the Steller white clan never joined the war of God's. However, their entire clan was wiped out because of the shockwave and attacks which were strong enough to crush continents and reduce it to dust in mere seconds.

However, when he thought of it, Alioth found it unbelievable as the Steller white clan wasn't so weak to be destroyed by mere shockwave!

However, there wasn't any other way to explain their destruction... In the end it was rumored that they perish as collateral damage!

All that remained of the Steller white clan in the end was wreckage and destruction! The upper world had tried searching for any survivor but found nothing. And now one of the survivors had actually appeared here, in the lower world.

"Heh, do you actually think I would tell you anything? Instead of worrying about my Steller white clan I'd say you have other pressing concerns at the moment."

"What do you mean?" Theia's soothing voice resounded. Isis frowned as she felt there was some implications behind his words. Her clear silver pupils shone as she observed both Arous and the silver-haired youth cautiously. She was curious as to why they were here.

"... What are you doing here?" However, surprisingly the one who asked was not Isis, but the sun goddess Sunna. Flames lit up in her bright crimson eyes as she asked her questions in a tone that left no room for negotiation. The temperature in the area increased several folds.

However, even under such pressure that held down his body to the point that he found it difficult to move Arous countenance did not wavered at all. "What I meant is simple. You also felt the aura of death too, didn't you?" The corners of Arous lips became upturned as he said that. When Alioth, Theia, Sunna and Isis heard those words they all wore contrasting expressions.

Alioth frowned, while Theia let out a troubled sigh, Sunna's eyes glazed with annoyance, while on the contrary, Isis's eyes lit up. "You! Do you know something about my brother?!" She asked, as her slender body trembled.
