Oni Hill.

Five Minutes Ago.

"Seems our guests have arrived."

Queen Alia, who sat by the pristine lake atop the fabled mountain, looked to the skies. Her brows furrowed as she sensed the overwhelming power coming from above. She might have finally become a Transcendent herself, but she instinctively knew she was no match for those monsters.

Thankfully, however, she did not have to.

Queen Alia looked at the robed Transcendents behind her. "It's finally time. Please welcome our guests."

Low chuckles arose from the Transcendents as they kicked off into the sky. This was one of the powers of Transcendents. The [Flight] skill unlocked at Lv. 200. Of course, some were far more skilled at using this skill than others.

The Chaos Orders' Transcendents flew for about a kilometer ahead before they came to an abrupt stop when they spotted four men and a draconian among the cloud.

Nornesh stood at the group's center. His eyes turned red with rage when the Chaos' Transcendents came into view. "You children dare cover up in front of me!? Do you want to remove those ridiculous robes or do you need me to roast you up a bit?"

"Hah. You're as angry as ever, Nornesh." Bellmaster Rene took off his robe, and then faced the Divine Dragon with a happy grin. "It's been a long time. I did not think you would ever leave your lair."

Nornesh snorted. "Do not deign to understand the thoughts of a Divine Dragon." Flames burned in his eyes as he then looked at the others. "Well, what will it be?"

"Lose the robes." Bellmaster Rene sighed and then said, "It's too early to fight."

Whoosh!

Following Rene's suggestion, the remaining nine got rid of their robes, revealing their identities. In total, there were six men and three women. Of the six men, there were two masonians, one halben, one cerulean, one lycan, and a single daeben. The women, on the other hand, consisted solely of daeben. The daeben women were no surprise considering daeben were a matriarchal race. The women often fought in wars, while the men stayed behind to raise the next generation.

"Well, well, You certainly are no less commanding even in old age." Lilo Shadebreak, one of the daeben woman teased with a seductive smile. Her fine, straight, hair cascaded down her back like a cascading waterfall. The short daeben had an athletic, slim build, and was garbed in leather armor that was as professional as it was artistically pleasing.

"He ain't the only one, here, ya know?" Tritan snorted, pulling the attention away from Nornesh. Sure, Nornesh was the strongest being present, but it did not feel good to be ignored. Tritan locked onto one of the masonian men. His lips spread in a wide grin as he questioned, "Hey! Yong-Su. Did you finally find Gorian's Trident?"

The masonian, Yong-Su, looked at Tritan with a pair of deep-set brown eyes that were like two patches of dried blood. His luxurious beige hair sat at shoulder-length and was worn in a dignified, simple style. Like most masonians, Yong-Su was a bit on the short side, but his graceful, slim build and a vintage wardrobe made it so no one could take their eyes off him. "If the Trident were so easily found, I would have no reason to be here. Why do you ask when you already know this? Perhaps you made a discovery into Stagnetti's Black Pearl?"

"Hehe!" Tritan rubbed his nose with unabashed pride. "Looks like I'll be beating you to Master of the Sea."

Yong-Su, however, was unperturbed. "It would seem you have yet to acquire it. For someone of your ability, if you could not have it with you despite knowing its location, then you'll probably never be able to acquire it. What was the matter? Is it restricted to Summoned alone? Or is there some other kind of restriction?"
