Chapter 1147: Celebration

Absalom was currently in a festive mood. People were gathering on the street as they celebrated the homecoming of a certain group.

It was a parade that no one had ever seen before. The entire city came to celebrate the achievement that they had never thought they could get before.

"Ooohhhh!"

"Libation Fiesta!"

"Clovis!"

"You guys are the best!"

That was right. They had been waiting for Clovis’s return. After all, this trip was slightly different. Normally, Clovis would be bringing a piece of information about the truth, but not many could relate to it.

A lot of people thought it was a shame they didn’t know the truth, but life must go on.

But this time, all people could relate to this achievement.

After all, Clovis had just returned with the Tier 9 lizard corpse. Yes, this was a historic achievement.

Even among the Tier 9 humans, some of them hadn’t hunted one Tier 9 beast.

Yet, there was a group consisting of only Tier 8 humans who managed to achieve it.

This meant a lot to the entire country. First of all, it meant that if there were a Tier 9 beast or human attacking them, Clovis and his team were strong enough to fend them off or defeat them.

They didn’t have to be in fear that these Tier 9 beasts would abruptly come to their country or that the Tier 9 humans were threatening them anymore.

At the same time, Clovis achieved something like this when he was just a Tier 8 human. All his group members were also Tier 8.

What if they were allowed to get stronger? What would happen when Clovis Hacfield reached Tier 9? Christina also had the potential to reach Tier 9.

While there was no guarantee that Jay and the others could reach this stage, it didn’t change the fact that two of their people could become Tier 9 in the near future.

They could imagine what would happen at that time. Their country would become a superpower. A lot of other countries would most likely work together with them, and the economy would be booming.

People rejoiced, thinking they would be safe as long as Clovis remained here.

They were bringing a lot of banners about Clovis and the others. Though Hana couldn’t help but create merchandise about them. The ones having the most sales were actually anything related to Reolf, Freud, and Rea. They were the team’s mascots.

Reolf had a majestic feeling. His big body and elegance made people admire him.

Freud looked human, which was something they could relate to. People even started insulting others who were bad at swordsmanship as being worse than Freud.

On the other hand, Andrea ended up demonstrating why she was popular.

Suddenly, the people looked up as the sun was being covered by a majestic figure.

"!!!"

"Look up!"

"It’s Rea!"

Rea was diving from the sky, trying to get as close as possible to the ground without potentially harming them before returning into the sky.

His massive size felt like the entire city was being protected by a divine bird.

Freud stood up straight and beat his chest. The people couldn’t help but follow his actions.

Then, Reolf let out a howl that echoed across the city.

A lot of people were trying to imitate the howl, which added another excitement to the parade.

Clovis and the others were waving their hands to the crowd as they had returned as champions. With this accomplishment, there was no one in Absalom would dare to go against them anymore.

Of course, Clovis didn’t intend to abuse his authority, but he also knew that his children might not think the same way. That was a problem for the future, so he wanted to strictly monitor his children’ education.

Still, he wouldn’t need to care about his children if he lost to the Prophet and died.

That was why, so that he could worry about it, he intended to settle everything once and for all.

A lot of their families received their fame as well. Jay, Kanaria, and Aileen’s families were receiving gifts from a lot of people as they managed to give birth to such geniuses. Their enemies shuddered in fear, thinking that their children would seek revenge.

The Libation Fiesta’s status was at its absolute peak, so no one might even help them if Clovis decided to crush them.

Hana didn’t have the need for additional status, considering her company was already at the top. Yes, her company had grown to surpass her grandfather’s company.

Still, Hana smiled at this achievement. She might not need it, but she definitely felt happy about it. She was one of Clovis’s fiancees, who happened to be the Libation Fiesta’s sole sponsor as well. Her authority was unimaginable.

Erwin, Luci, and Rin had their respective fathers, who were overjoyed by their achievements.

Ragna and Angelia didn’t care much about the achievements. They didn’t have families. The only family they had was everyone at the Libation Fiesta.

Ragna had already decided to become Clovis’s shield from the beginning, so he had no need for glory. In fact, not having anything to be glorified meant he had done his job well.

On the other hand, Angelia was seeking such an achievement. Although she didn’t fight the lizard this time, she swore in the future that she would kill a Tier 9 beast by herself.

Clovis understood her ambition and decided to support her. Of course, that ambition needed to wait until they won against the Prophet.

Angelia knew and respected his condition. After all, joining the Libation Fiesta was the closest she could get to her ambition.

Clovis continued straight toward the presidential palace since the Tier 9 beast would be turned over to the country.

This was to show that the relationship between Clovis and the country was good. No one knew that Clovis already had better equipment, so there was no need for him to use the corpses as materials.

They would end up as Tier 9 weapons anyway, one level less than their current equipment.

Still, there was another reason for him to end this parade at the presidential palace. He needed to talk to the president.
