Chapter 949 Situation of the Fuller Family
Meanwhile, to the northeast of the Kenyth Empire, in one of the safest areas of the state, untouched for most of the calamity so far, there was a metal city hidden among the vegetation of a lush forest.
In this green place, marked by flat terrain and nearby beaches, various metallic creatures in the shape of beasts, such as birds and monkeys, could be seen flying from one side to the other as if they were living beings native to the place.
But under close observation, one would realize that these were not natural creatures of this area, but artificial ones, created by the most talented and powerful blacksmith the continent had given birth to.
'The northern sector is clear.' One of Vicente's most unique robotic armors said as it flapped its metallic wings in the air, hovering not far above the level of the trees.
'The south is clear too,' said a metallic horse, its eyes glowing an intense red as it ran like a wild animal.
Deeper into this area guarded by animalistic robotic armor, were men armed with humanoid armor, but camouflaged with vines and tree leaves.
Some were even covered in mud near one of the swamps in the area, ignoring the strong smell of the mud while maintaining their vigilant stance.
The metal city there was not extensive, with only 8,000 inhabitants at the moment. However, it was the current headquarters of the Fuller family, the most important place for humanity to protect in the current context of Polaris Realm.
Nina and Annie lived there, as well as Nova, Layla and Lina, the core of the most important continental force in the fight against vampires and monsters!
At the center of this place, sitting in a lotus position on top of the tallest building in the city, was a silver-haired, pointy-eared individual, a 6th stage elf.
As Syvis had already told Lauren, the elves had made contact with the Fuller family. Although she herself didn't know exactly where the family was, one of the elves with Intermediate Archmage cultivation had been positioned with Vicente's family to protect them.
In this city, there were also some names Vicente knew, such as Rory's father, who was currently a Low-level Paragon, but also Newton, Benson and Bart, all of whom were on the same level as Rory's father.
Prisiche was also around, as well as having a similar cultivation to these individuals. She was currently Nina's chief advisor and was rarely without Vicente's young sister.
As for his wives, the three had recently finished a seclusion, after having absorbed parts of the blood sent by Vice to their group weeks ago.
All three had reached the end of the 5th stage, having strengthened significantly to the point where they already felt they could reach the legendary 6th stage in the future.
Nina had also taken her chance and reached the Low-level of the 5th stage, having even achieved her fifth pentagram.
After Vicente's departure, they had all improved a lot, taking advantage of the chance he had given them, but also not making mistakes that would cost them their lives.
Even stronger, they were all living safely in this little-known city on the continent, intending not to put themselves in danger for at least the next two years.
In their opinion, the continent was at its most sensitive now that Vicente had left. Given what they represented to vampires and monsters, it made sense to stay in seclusion and let the monsters forget a little about how terrible Vice was.
But that was temporary. As soon as the situation stabilized, they intended to move against their enemies, not wanting to wait to be rescued.
Just as Lauren had thought, they wanted to reach the Supreme Continent on their own and show Vicente that his efforts had not been in vain.
Meanwhile, they lived their lives quietly in this city, camouflaged by nature.
Even Annie was committed to following in her father's footsteps, having already started her activities at the local academy, where none of the ordinary inhabitants of the area knew who they were.
Despite everything, Vicente and his family wanted Annie to have an ordinary childhood until she awakened her powers.
While she was studying at the academy, Nova and the other three women were gathered in an underground building, from where they had been running the Cataclysm Order since they arrived in the city.
All three had serious expressions on their faces, their attention fully focused on resolving the calamity on the continent.
"So Lauren has awoken?" One of them asked after Newton brought the news that had just arrived in the city.
He nodded affirmatively, saying, "The elves sent us this message saying that she should look for us in the next few days. Before then, she's going to hunt down her sixth pentagram and make sure she's not being followed."
"It's a relief to hear about her success." Nova sighed at these words.
Vicente had sent Demian's remaining blood to two different posts. Combined with these two places, five high-level magicians had the chance to absorb Demien Bloodthorne's blood, three of them direct family members and two of them members of the order.
Of the five, however, two were killed while in seclusion, with monsters having attacked them and sacrificed themselves to prevent the strengthening of those two. Only the remaining three left their seclusion safely, having reached Beginner or Intermediate Archmage level.
Besides these, another 14 men were given the opportunity to use the blood of the vampires sent that day, 11 of whom had become stronger, 2 had died and one had not improved his strength.
The pills and potions that were to be made from the vampires' organs were just finishing being prepared, so the group waiting to use them hadn't yet been strengthened by their help.
"With Lauren in the 6th stage and with six pentagrams, we'll be able to do a lot of things to deal with the enemies," Layla said, aware of how effective the Book of Death was.
With the Book of Death reaching its current spiritual quality, they could certainly deal with enemies in a safe and efficient way. It would be enough for Lauren to see the faces of the enemies and she wouldn't even have to fight to eliminate them!
"We have to meet with her first and use our men to understand the situation on the continent. Vicente put a target on his back the moment he revealed the Throne of Darkness to the continent. Let's not do the same with Lauren. We must use her power wisely," Nova said firmly.
Lina agreed as she added something else, "If we can give Nina time to act alongside Lauren, that would be even better. With the power of the two, it's possible that we could defeat the strongest enemies."
"We'll have to go all out at some point, though." Newton stated the obvious, but which these women seemed to want to avoid for the moment. "Nina will grow stronger as she faces powerful opponents. But to do that, we'll need to expose not only her, but also Lauren. So I don't recommend caution for over three years from now.
It's good that we remain hidden for now. But we can't delay too long. The fight will be dangerous one way or another. Better that they have a chance to develop before the enemy leaders awaken."
The three women remained silent for a moment, unable to stop pondering this point. Each of them was a powerful warrior with a lot of combat experience. They knew how valuable the opportunity to fight enemies was.
"Sigh! It's a shame we have to count every positive and negative. But we'll see the best time to let Nina and Lauren show themselves to their enemies. We'll try to hide them as much as possible," Lina said, while the other two agreed.
With that decided, they continued with the next matters they had to resolve, with Newton there to help them with guidance. As a 5th stage scholar in several of his professions, he was invaluable to any group on the continent.
Meanwhile, they tried to think minimally about how Vicente was doing and how long it would take for them to see him again.
As much as they looked forward to it and wished him well, they didn't want to be overwhelmed by the thought of how far away they were from their dear husband. Besides, they really had enough problems to keep them busy most of the time they weren't cultivating.
