Chapter 513 - The Dark More Tribe

Aki learned from his grandson that Lord Tang was visiting the Dark More Tribe. As someone who made the deal between the Dark More Tribe and the Dark Tribe, he was aware that the visit was not just a simple visit.

ʼShould I go there or just stay here? Lord Tang must be displeased that I passed the Dark More Tribe…ʼ Aki was in a dilemma. After a slight hesitation, Aki decided to go there. He might do something for his lord to get a favorable impression from his lord. He had decided that since he was tied to a new Master, might as well do it wholeheartedly.

Aki then rushed toward the Dark More Tribeʼs location. He rushed there but it was still too late upon seeing the trace of frost aura around at the entrance toward the village of the Dark More Tribe. The Dark More Tribe was living underground and he was standing in front of the hole toward the village.

Aki let out a sigh as he was too late. If he arrived before the clash, he might persuade the Chief of the Dark More Tribe to join the empire. The rat beastmen entered the tunnel, and he found the wall and ceiling were freezing. He could feel a sharp decrease in the temperature, it was still bearable for him.

ʼLord Tang does not have the Frost Elemental Power, does that mean itʼs the woman?ʼ Aki speculated in his head. When he returned to the Pallarmur Tribe, only a woman who held the ceremony and his grandson were there. Another woman was missing. That meant this was that womanʼs doing.

The rat beastmen picked up his pace and soon he arrived at the actual village of the Dark More Tribe. He could hear the fight was not over yet. Aki rushed into the underground space where the Dark More was living. He saw his Master was standing over there, watching the fight while the cat was gnawing the dead Dark More next to his feet. Lauri stood next to Lord Tang, watching the fight as well.

As he predicted, the Frost Elemental Power originated from the woman. The Chief of the Dark More Tribe, Firon, was fighting against the woman. Even though Lord Tang did not look back at him, he knew that Lord Tang was aware of his arrival. Aki approached Lord Tang, as he was about to reach Lord Tang, The Chief of the Dark More Tribe noticed his arrival too.

”Elder Aki! You come! Help me to fight them, they are declaring a war against the Dark Tribe!” Firon yelled for help. There was hope in his voice.

Aki let out a sigh, he shook his head, ”I am sorry, Firon. However, I am no longer the Elder of the Dark Tribe anymore. I am a servant of Lord Tang,” The rat beastmen knelt toward Tang Shaoyang, ”I have assigned my children to find the Dwarves, My Lord. You can expect the result within a month at most.”

”AKI! YOU!” A furious roar came out from the Chief of the Dark More Tribe. He could not believe that the one who persuaded him to join the Dark Tribe was now betraying the Dark Tribe.

”You should not look away when you fight!” Ashley took the chance and appeared behind Firon. She raised her sword and stabbed it at the back of Fironʼs body.

”[Earth Fur]!” The brownies fur hardened, but it was futile. The sword broke the defensive skill and pierced through the fur into the flesh toward the chest. The sword fully pierced through Fironʼs thick body.

The Chief of the Dark More Tribe had its black eyes widened open as the ice started to freeze his body. Slowly, the ice consumed Fironʼs life force before the light on his eyes dimmed. The Chief of the Dark More Tribe died. Ashley pulled her sword and kicked the frozen Firon away. The ice did not break apart as it fell apart.

”I gained two levels, not bad,” Ashley commented as she returned to Tang Shaoyangʼs side. She looked at Aki who was still kneeling on the side before she looked toward Tang Shaoyang, ”So what do you want to do with the bodies?”

”You will know soon,” Tang Shaoyang then looked toward Lauri, ”Tell your people to gather the corpse into one spot!” He pointed at one spot before he glanced at Aki, ”Do you know what mistake have you done, Aki?”

”Yes, My Lord!” Aki replied in a firm tone. Of course, he knew what his Lord was talking about, The Dark More Tribe. He purposely directed his Lord away from the Dark More Tribe to the Pallarmus Tribe. Of course, he had something in his mind to excuse his mistake, ”I was purposely leading you away from the Dark More Tribe. However, I have my reasons, My Lord. I think itʼs better for us to avoid the confrontation against the Dark Tribe until we have enough force to fight them.”

”Are you the Lord or me?” Tang Shaoyang took two steps closer to Aki. Akiʼs head touched his shin, but the rat beastmen lowered his head even more. The rat beastmen was now kissing Tang Shaoyangʼs feet.

”This servant asks for your forgiveness for my impudence, My Lord. I promise that I will not repeat it again. I will consult everything with you from now on,” Aki asked for forgiveness.

Tang Shaoyang was not aware that Aki was trying to undo the oath. If he knew that, Akiʼs fate was doomed. However, he was not aware of that. With how useful this guy was, Tang Shaoyang intended to forgive him, ”This will be the last time!”

”I am grateful for your generosity to forgive this sinful servant,” Aki was still kissing his feet.

Tang Shaoyang turned around, ”Rise!” he said that for Aki before he walked toward the piling up corpse. Less than two thousand sacrifices, the best grade he could summon was Grade B spirit, ”Stay there.” He was telling Aki, the cat, and also Ashley as they followed him approaching the piling corpses.

Aki and Ashley exchanged glances. The rat beastmen wanted to know what the Lord wanted to do from the woman. However, the woman also did not know what Lord Tang wanted to do with the corpses. The three obeyed and stayed there.

Tang Shaoyang stopped in front of the piling corpses of the Dark More. He took out the four Dark Vultureʼs corpses and threw them into the pile. He then extended his hand toward the piling corpse and cast the skill, [Epic Summoning].
