Black Quantiarch: The Progenitor's Odyssey-Chapter 200: The Greenwood Academy [40]

Black entered the dark fissure!! Moving though the narrow tunnel for a good while!! He finally came upon a large cave!! ...

"Lord Black who was that strange Man!? For what reason did he want to kill you and why didn't you kill him for his audacity!? I don't understand why did you run!? ... "

Black blinked!! His gaze focused on the Elf in his arms!! He became amused when he saw the confused!! Angry and displeased expression on her face all simultaneously!! ...

"Little Elf!!~~ " He smiled!! The while putting her down!! He continued!! ...

"Your dear Lord is someone many want to kill and that Dark Elf was a pawn sent by them to kill Me!! Now do you understand!! ... "

The Elf nodded!! ... 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"For the reason why I ran!! ... " As Black spoke!! He also moved behind her!! Next encompassing her small figure within his arms!! He whispered in her long-elvin-ears!! "I was afraid of seeing you get hurt or be used against Me as a emotional weapon!! ... "

Selina trembled on feeling the encompassing warmth of her divine!! Her mind blanked!! Not registering what her Lord even whispered!! ...

Next instant the Elf squealed with confusion and disgruntlement!! ...

Coming out of her daze!! Feeling empty but then she flushed when her emerald gaze caught sight of his smiling face before her eyes!! ...

"Ooh!!... " Black grinned!! "Let's tell you one more thing My sweet-little-elf!!~~ ... "

Pinching her cheeks!! He added!! "Those many someone's who want to kill your Lord!! They are all Divine's!!~~ ... "

Selina shuddered as the words spoken rippled through her heart!! Her mouth parted in scare but Black stroking her hair comforted!! ...

"No need to worry yourself unnecessary My cute elf!! I've a lot more secrets that you don't know but for now you should just relax and take a long refreshing nap as I have some things I need to take care off!! ... "

Black took out and placed a large bed on the side subsequently he also took out a peak rank nine concealment-type and a defence-type artifact from his spatial ring and began setting them up!! ...

Selina watched Black with her gaze becoming even more obsessive and zealous with each passing second!! Her eyes shinning with stars of adoration and devotion!! ...

Initially she was confused why her Lord didn't use the artifacts to deal with the abominable Elf but looking at how long it was taking for the artifacts to activate!! She realized that these artifacts were never made and ment to be used in a battlefield!! ...

It took Black approximately 3 minutes to set-up the artifact!! Following after he had Lina climb the bed and take a small nap whereas he sat crossed-legged beside her!! ...

In seconds she fell asleep!! ...

Considering both of them since the point they entered the artifact they haven't slept one bit!! He calmly watched her for a few minutes without doing anything afterwards he finally closed his eyes and muttered inwardly!! ...

'Zephyr!! Elly I want you both to respond to Me as quickly as you possible can!! Inform what I'm about to tell you two to Luna! Wix and Freya immediately!! It's a serious matter!! ... '

In a minute Black relayed everything that happened in the past few minutes to them and also reassured that there was no need to worry for him and stop the tournament for him just because there are actual assassin here after his life!! ...

Saying that he wanted to use this chance to toughen himself a bit more!! ...

Moreover while waiting for his serpent or his Elf's response!! Black got out of the bed!! This time fully determined to combine two of his Elemental Laws in either Wix or Luna's Movement-type Ability!! ...

Henceforth begin his practice!! ...

----------

Presently Zephyr was simply lazing on the couch with a bored look!! It's been a full one hour since the tournament began and half an hour since Black and Zid Flamehart's battle!! ...

The serpent was only interested in watching Black and no one else!! Not even spectating the two amazing battles that happened consecutively between four Level 89 participants!! ...

Where one got killed and another surrendered moments before getting killed!! Now there only remained eleven of the initial thirteen Ascension Level 89 participants!! ...

Alternatively the maids were also in the same category as Zephyr!! Not interested in anything in the slightest that was unrelated to there master only Elly was watching the on-going tournament with apparent interest!! ...

However there was one thing that all the girls shared!! There surmounting curiosity towards Selina!! They just couldn't wait to meet her!! ...

They have seen her interaction with Black!! Came to know about her past through him!! And both the primordial's and the maids certainly approved of what they saw!! ...

Even interested to know more about her after hearing about her past!! Family situation and current relationship status with Warner Family!! ...

Apparently the maids even sensed some sort of commotion in a VIP room not far from there's!! ...

The room turned out to be the one where the self-titled Sword Master of the Warner Family!! An instructor at the Greenwood Academy was staying at!! ...

Moreover from what the wolf-ears of the twin wolf sisters could pick up!! They came to know the Man was utterly burning in shame and humiliation on seeing the actions of the soon-to-be wife of his son- Ray Warner!! ...

"Hmm!! ... "

Suddenly Zephyr sat up straight!! Her eyes going wide with each passing second!! The while her body trembled in disbelief and in pure unfiltered rage!! ...

The maids too immediately perceived the sudden change in there two Ladys behavior!! Even Elly had her face turn indifferently cold within seconds!! ...

"Um!! Has something happened to Master!? Lady Zephyr and Elly!!~~ ... " Luna probed with a cool voice!! Right away putting the puzzle of her Ladys sudden unusual behavior together!! ...

The two primordial's remained quiet!! Not responding or answering!! The maids also understanding the gravity of the situation calmly!! Quietly and patiently waited for them to reply!! ...

In a minute both the Elf and the Serpent sighed simultaneously!! They exchanged a glance right after they had there rapt attention be fixed on the maids!! ...

"Something did ended up happening!! ... " Zephyr started!! Her mellow tone measured! Serpentine gaze even!! "In fact just as you three have guessed!! It is indeed something major!! However Black still commanded us or you three more specifically!! To not take any action or worry about him!!~~ ... "

"What is it!? Lady Zephyr!!~~ ... " Freya asked!! Her crimson gaze narrowed!! ...

"If it is something dangerous to Master and is capable of threatening his life!! Then we would take action even if he say otherwise!!~~ ... " Wix voiced!! Her stand clear!! ...

"For Me nothing is more important then My masters life!! Not even his commands!! I would rather have him kill Me then obey his command despite knowing they would result in his certain death!!~~ ... " Her tone proud!! ...

Zephyr smiled at the maids!! Elly too smiled at the maids!! "Do not worry Dear!!~~ Though there is indeed danger to his life but you should learn to trust your master too!!~~ ... "

"It's not that I'm saying that you don't trust him just that if you try to protect him to such a level!! Then you perfectly know that you're doing him more harm instead of protecting your master!!~~ ... "

"This little sister of mine here is indeed correct Wix!!~~ ... " Zephyr chuckled!! ...

"Doesn't matter!! If I said My masters life is more important!! Then that is absolute!! Nothing will convince Me on otherwise!!~~ ... "

"Don't take My little sister seriously Lady Zephyr!! If master was here then she would've caved in within seconds without so much as a whimper!!~~ ... " Luna echoed!! ...

"Please tell us what this something major actually is!? Is masters life really in danger!? ... "

"It could be or it couldn't!! I can't tell with certainty with what little he informed Me!! ... " Zephyr through the VIP badge in her hand changed the scene playing on the giant screen!! ...

Replacing it with a recorded clip of four black hoodied and black masked figures walking through four different regions!! ...

The maids and Elly immediately had there attention fixed on what Zephyr was displaying!! The while listening to her attentively!! ...

"These four individuals are assassins sent to kill Black!! ... " Zephyr dropped a bombshell on the maids!! However she wasn't done yet!! She continued!! ...

"You see that Man on the rocky and mountainous region!! He is the one Black encountered!! His name is Neal! An assassin at Ascension Level 87 with 6-Levels of base prowess!! As for how Black concluded- He is in fact an assassin!? ... "

Her lips curled with an unmistakable sneer!! ...

"Through his partial-omniscint Black recognized a particular Movement-type Ability Freya told him about not that long ago!! ... "

"From which we now know the name of a divine who wants to kill him!! By which we can now atleast identify a few more of the dogs hiding in plain sight!! ... "

"As for the lucky ability that exposed that divine's identity to us is [ Tread of Darkness ] ... A down graded version of the divine grade ability [ Darkness Traverse ] ... "

Elly smirked coldly!! "Whoever this independent Divine Darkness Spirit is!! He could've never!! Not even in his wildest dreams imagined that a progenitor is someone capable of seeing through a being essence!! Imagined that a weak and incomplete progenitor was actually capable of communicating through two separate spaces located in two different spatial layers divided by who knows how much kilometers distance!! ... "

"But what happened!? Did the master successfully escape!! Is he injured- No! That isn't possible!! ... " Next point Freya's eyes gleamed!! "Did master actually kill that Dark Elf!!~~ ... "

"No he didn't!! My Black didn't want to take the risk!!~~ ... " Elly responded!! "Don't you remember!! There was also Selina with him!! ... "

"In a battle where he was out-matched in every regard!! From his defense to his attack to even his speed carrying such an obvious and glaring weakness was downright lunacy!! Like announcing to get killed!!~~ ... "

"But you shouldn't worry Freya!!~~ ... " Zephyr stood up advancing towards the maid!! ...

"Black did manage to successfully escape from the assassin all because of your Illusion-type Ability [ Clone of Self ] that you taught him!! ... " She patted Freya's shoulder with a warm smile!! ...

"He even sent his regards you know!! Saying that the next time you came before him he would certainly reward you in your most favorite way!!~~ ... " Zephyr winked at the succubus!! ...

Who was immediately all smiles!! Her concern all but gone!! ...

*Exhale!!~~*

"So master commanded us not to do anything!! Is what you're saying Lady Zephyr!! Lady Elly!!~~ ... " Luna repeated!! Her tone flat still the worry in her voice was clear as day!! ...

Next moment!! Even before she knew it!! Her expression turned wry!! ...

"Well what can you say!! It is indeed true as his maids we also want the best for him and can't be babysitting him!! Master has to realize his apex potential one way or another!! ... "

"To that end what is a better time then present when there are four strong assassins disguised as participants going after his life!! Pushing him further by a step in his path of ascension!!~~ ... "

The other girls faces also turned wry!! ...

Zephyr shook her head!! "Anyways you three should still be careful alright!!~~ ... " Her head turned!! Her scarlett gaze fixed on the hovering pale-white ball!!

"That artifact is something that houses a progenitor!! If something were to happen to it then we don't even know what might happen to Black!! ... "

"We will!! ... We absolutely will!!~~ ... " The three maids nodded simultaneously!! ...

"I will also talk with him every other few minutes!! To understand how things are going on his end!! ... " Elly added sighing!! ...

"It would've been even nicer!! If I could've also regularly updated My dear on the other three assassins constantly changing locations!! But alas they have already stopped there recordings too!! ... "
