Chapter 1953: Laynira, the Dual Flame Star Phoenix

"Let me properly introduce myself. My name is Kent Madson, but many call me the Primordial Chaos Dragon. Nice meeting you, Laynira." Kent extended his hand for a handshake.

However, instead of taking his hand, Laynira was too stunned, unable to even move. She just stood there watching Kent like she had seen a ghost.

The mention of the Primordial Chaos Dragon took her aback.

Why?

Because her mother knew the Primordial Chaos Dragon personally.

She had told her and her sisters stories about the bravest dragon to ever live during the Primordial Era. She went further, even saying that the Chaos Dragon was the only dragon whose arrogance was backed by his strength.

For a phoenix to praise a dragon like that, clearly, she either loved him, admired him, or was a fangirl.

Regardless, Laynira grew up hearing about the Primordial Chaos Dragon almost every single day. This was why she knew that in this universe, nobody would dare say they were the Primordial Chaos Dragon and live to tell the tale.

Only the Chaos Dragon could make such daring claims, and nothing would happen to him. So naturally, Kent was indeed the Chaos Dragon, and that was just too much for her to wrap her mind around.

It took her some time to come back to her senses. When she finally did, she reached forward and took Kent’s hand in hers.

Then she asked...

"If you are the Primordial Chaos Dragon, then have you ever met or do you know a phoenix called Yesfir?"

"I do, or more like I did since I died and reincarnated," Kent answered and even added more context. Then he asked, wondering why Laynira had asked.

He indeed knew the person she asked about. She was one of the few people Chaos interacted with when he visited the Blood Region back when Elina died, and he reverted to his cold and ruthless self.

Back then, he fought against many people, but he also held back against some and even saved quite a few. One of the people he saved was a phoenix called Yesfir.

Back then, she was ambushed by a dozen people.

Most of them were two realms above her. However, she held her own against them until Chaos arrived on the scene and killed all of them. Maybe at that moment, he saw the helpless Elina in Yesfir, so even after saving her, he escorted her to safety before returning to his training.

He didn’t say much to her, but she said a lot. It was why Chaos never forgot her.

"How do you know Yesfir, and how is she?"

Laynira frowned. "She was my mother, and as I have already said, she is dead. Killed by Ghankis, the Merciless."

This time, Kent frowned as well, his killing intent flaring.

"That bastard needs to die fast." His eyes turned cold, and he immediately summoned Crimson dagger. It took a few seconds for him to appear beside Kent.

"You called, Lord Faceless?"

Kent had already conversed with him after the battle, so he immediately dove right into why he had summoned him.

"I did. Have you heard of the person called Ghankis, the Merciless?"

"Yes, my lord. What about him?"

"Do you know where he lives? I want both a general location and, if possible, a specific location too."

Crimson Dagger thought for a moment before answering, "The last time we checked, he was somewhere in the Southern Celestial Region. We don’t know exactly which planet he is on, but we can find out if you want."

"Please do that. You can collaborate with the shadow fiends to speed up the process."

"Consider it done, Lord Faceless." Crimson Dagger bowed.

"Thanks, buddy. When done, you can all come back to the tower if you want to. There is space for every shadow and enough training space for everyone."

"We will return, Lord Faceless."

Crimson Dagger teleported away, and a few minutes later, the Midnight Shadows left the tower.

When some of the members in Kent’s legions who had already hit it off with the Midnight Shadows learned they were going to hunt down a Primordial, they volunteered to join them.

If possible, they were going to drag the bastard to their master after beating him to a pulp.

Meanwhile, on the outside, Laynira narrowed her eyes at Kent...

"That was Crimson Dagger, one of the seven main founders of the Midnight Shadows. I recognised him because I met him at an auction before. I have also heard of the legendary things he has accomplished.

He clearly seems to respect you and even called you Lord Faceless."

Laynira knitted her brow and asked, "Are you related to the Faceless Assassin?"

"Oh no. I am not related to him. I am the Faceless Assassin."

"Huh?"

"Allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Kent Madson, but many call me the Faceless Assassin."

Laynira’s body trembled, and Kent, who had no plans to let this beauty stand by herself, used the moment to close the gap. Then he took her hand and smiled...

"I know it is a lot to take in now, but soon, it will be something normal to you." He said those words with an expression that said, now that I have my hooks in you, don’t even think you are going anywhere.

"Why don’t we talk while you take me to Flame Lord Agni? Afterwards, we can go back somewhere more comfortable to have a proper discussion. I would love to hear more about your mother."

Laynira nodded, and with her hand still held by Kent, they left to release Flame Lord Agni, who was already wondering if his message had reached Kent and if Kent would come to save him or not.

On the side, Mjolnir and Sanguine chose to mind their business since they clearly had their own lives to live. But they could sense it. Kent’s mood had changed when he found out Yesfir was Laynira’s mother.

Naturally, they wished the bastard would be found much faster so they could beat the hell out of him before handing him over to Laynira to kill and avenge her mother and sisters.

Ghankis, the Merciless, may not know it yet, but he has just become the most hated person in the entire universe, and soon, he will face his reckoning.
