Chapter 1009 Calamity
Hearing the word calamity, Emery and the other subconsciously began to tremble.
‘Will what happened to the citizens of Andora… happen to the people on Earth as well?’
This thought deeply scares him.
“Calamity on Earth in 30 to 50 years…” Emery muttered in disbelief. “This can’t be real!”
Jinkan, on the other hand, appeared to enjoy the mix of fear and disbelief on Emery and his friends’ faces. To her, this probably was nothing more than an opportunity and a source of entertainment.
With a grin, she continued,
“We will not lie about such a serious matter.”
Everyone fell silent. This wasn’t a light matter in the slightest, so they couldn’t help but be affected by it.
Julian looked toward Lord Izta and asked. “What does this mean for us? What can we do to stop it?”
Lord Izta didn’t say a word of response. He was silent, but the clear look of rage on his face reflected the anger boiling inside of him.
‘What are we supposed to do? Is there anything we can do?’
Meanwhile, the sage deeply sighed before finally saying,
“This means we have to take over the Earth caretaker position before the calamity stage arrives.”
Sage Fuxi then glanced at the overseer.
“Grand Overseer, I need your confirmation. It is the words of the family head that the Nephilims will not step onto the Earth nor harm the earthlings until the time of the duel. Is this part of the terms?”
Emery was startled once again. It seemed that the sage was willing to accept the terms, at least much more compared to the others. Moreover, despite Lord Izta looking quite unwilling, he still didn’t say a word to stop the sage.
‘Does Lord Izta also believe that this would be best?’
While Emery was distracted with his thoughts, the Grand Overseer’s voice pulled him back to the present.
“That is indeed the case. However, such a treatment is only given if your new faction confirms to become a subsidiary faction of the Nephilims… This is, and has always been, the way.”
The Grand Overseer had an amiable smile on his face as he said those words.
Sage Fuxi looked toward Lord Izta. Ultimately, despite his heavy reluctance, the champion could only respond with a nod.
What other option did they have?
Knowing how much this fact mattered to the others, Fuxi briefly explained how this would be beneficial for them. In short, being a subsidiary faction of the one in control of the galaxy will make their faction establishment go smoothly.
Not only that, but doing this would also prevent the rise of further problems with other Nephilim branches.
“Even though our faction will be a subsidiary, it will still be our faction,” the sage added to convince the others.
Klea touched Emery’s shoulder and, under everyone’s gazes, explained that she had heard the same thing before. “It is common for a low-grade faction to be the subsidiary of the higher-grade one.”
With the confirmation from Klea herself, Emery and the others were persuaded to agree to the condition.
Lord Izta stood up. His mind was full of burden, but he seemed to have regained his composure as he made his decision.
“Yes, we accept the terms.”
Hearing this, the Grand Overseer clapped his hands once with an expression of joy.
“Well then, I believe the matter is settled now. As the witness, I will see this agreement bound.”
Kronos and both of his magus stood up to pay their respect to the Grand Overseer before walking out of the place with a satisfied smile.
“I will see you all in twenty years. I sincerely hope that you all will not disappoint us.” He went away with a chuckle, once again irritating Emery and the others.
Headmaster Delbarand turned to the others. Upon seeing the dejected expressions on his students’ faces, he decided to say a few words of encouragement.
“I have seen how your group went against all odds in Andora and during the magus games. Lift your head up acolytes, and do the best you can. With enough determination, I am sure a path will open up for you all.”
The headmaster’s words indeed worked to greatly encourage the group.
Now that they finished their business here, it should be about time for them to leave.
However, just as they were about to thank the other party, Jinkan suddenly interrupted them.
“Actually, there is still one more important matter we need to talk about,” the female Nephilim said with a smile.
“What is it?”
“Well… Now that you all have agreed to become a subsidiary faction of the Nephilims, we should start by establishing your faction right away. We also need a name, the leader who will be sworn into the Nephilim’s inner member”
“I will do it.” Lord Izta immediately responded. “You don’t need anyone else, I am ready to extend my services to the Nephilims.”
Hearing this, Emery and his friends once again became confused.
“Don’t worry, boys. If anyone is to be bound to the Nephilims, I will be the better option. You all still have a long future ahead of you.”
Everyone momentarily fell silent. Emery didn’t like the sound of that at all, but it appeared that even the sage thought this was the best solution.
However, Jinkan snorted when they saw their agreement on the matter.
“Unfortunately, you are too old, you might not even have two thousand years left in you, Lord Champion of the Realm.”
Jinkan then turned to look at Emery with a smile. When the two’s eyes met, he immediately realized what she was trying to do.
“Emery Ambrose, I am the duchess of the Amhariks, twelfth in line to the Nephilim throne. Help me succeed in claiming my right and I will make sure you, your friends, and your world will be well-protected. I am the solution to your calamity.”
Emery was stunned by her words.
‘So this is what she was planning from the start!’
Now that they had agreed to become a subsidiary faction of the Nephilims, she now had Emery under her grasp.
However, before Emery could say a word in response, the Grand Overseer behind the girl interrupted the conversation.
“No, not him, the Amhariks will not accept a half-blood as our inner member. They have to choose someone else.”
The look on Jinkan’s face immediately turned dark. Just from her expression, it was clear that the situation didn’t go as she planned.
Afterward, the group was dismissed, leaving Emery and the others with various things to discuss and a decision to make.
