Omega Summoner

Chapter 986: Instigator of War

Just as Adrian thought that he would have peace, the Shade race that he accepted into his territory immediately wanted to meet him with the elders of the Daemos. Since it was the Shade elder that wanted to meet, Adrian agreed and even the other elders agreed as well. When they learned the things that they wanted to report, they are all shocked.

The Shade Elder said that the human countries that are facing severe food shortages are now raising their banners to conquer Avalon. It is not just one kingdom that wanted to invade but an alliance of three kingdoms. The most disturbing fact is that the angels seemed to have made their moves to direct the attention to them.

”What do you mean the angels are the ones that directed their attention to us?” Koronn asked as he is not a fan of angels as well, but he tolerates them as they promote some sort of order.

”Are you not forgetting that the angels are an extremely selfish race that only serve their goddess? If they goddess wanted the extinction of humanity, then those glowing birds would have done so as well. They hide behind the face of benevolence and kindness when they were not like that back then.” Ascalor stated.

”Not all of them are like that. There have been valiant warriors among them when the dark gods attacked.” Bronx stated.

”If you mean, the Fallen, then you are correct. They are no longer of this world and prefer to sleep. They already chose to not meddle in the world, but those glowing birds are different. Do they think that we do not know what they are currently doing?” Ascalor stated as he already returned from his investigations.

”Why are they raising their swords at us? The angels have no way to win against us when it comes to all out war.” Koronn asked.

”I think they need to divert our attention.” Adrian suddenly stated which made everyoneʼs eyes look at him as he was silent earlier. This is the first time that he spoke out in discussion.

”Divert our attention?” Bronx asked.

”I am not sure of my conjecture, but I might be if Old man Ascalor tells me what they are planning.” Adrian asked.

”The angels are trying to forcefully open the Gate of Heaven where the rest of the angels are currently sealed. You could also say that the Goddess of Light has some authority over there as it is a broken part of her divine territory.” Ascalor stated.

”I think they will use something that can pin the blame on us. The angels are acting sneaky as the Pope of the Church of Light has never appeared again after the fiasco with the dark god. The other church members did do missionary work and helped but their higher echelon did not move after the fight with the dark god.” Adrian stated which made everyone nod.

”Can I know if we can handle the army of the three countries?” Adrian asked.

”If it is a normal human army then we can easily trample them. They should have feared us because of the misinformation that the other churches have been spreading all these times. Maybe they think we are docile because we are not claiming territory like they thought we would. We are not conquerors because we are protectors.” Ascalor answered.

”I know but that makes me surer that this is a ploy. Do the three united kingdoms have large population?” Adrian asked the Shade.

”Yes. Their population could be estimated in the millions when combined.” The Shade girl replied shyly.

”Thank you for answering my question. Do you guys know the peculiarity with the angels?” Adrian stated.

”Peculiarity? I only know that they are glowing birds.” Ascalor stated.

”Is there perhaps an angel of death? Someone that becomes more powerful when death is present. I know that angels have something that represents them. It is only for them which is why they are very proud of themselves because they are unique.” Adrian stated.

”From what I know, the Angel of Death is already dead. She died in the war against the dark gods. She fought valiantly. I should know because my unit was near her back then. I was just a foot soldier back then.” Bronx stated.

”Then if the Angel of Death is already dead, is there an Angel that draws power from faith?” Adrian asked.

”From what we know, angels that draw powers from others are rare. They also do not have great fighting power at the start which is why they are weak. But there have been cases of an Angel of Fear. The Angel of Fear was powerful back then, but I know he is sealed behind the Gates of Heaven since he was at the forefront of the angelic war.” Koronn stated.

The Shade elder and the shade player are standing there dumbfounded as they are being fed information that is thousand of years old that even their ancestors might not know. The Shade player even looked stumped as the information in her head is already spiraling out of control due to how sensitive and game breaking this information is.

She has found new respect for her idol as he could accurately grasp all the information.

”If there is an Angel of Faith then their intention of provoking this war is already certain.” Adrian stated.

”Enlighten us boy. Do not lead us hanging for the answer.” Ascalor stated.

”The instigator for this war wants us to wipe out the army of the three kingdoms. With the Horsemen of the Apocalypse still roaming about, they wanted to make use of the current situation to their advantage. They expect us to wipe out the enemy army then their savior will come floating down the sky to ʼsaveʼ all of them from our oppression.” Adrian stated.

”It might be preposterous but what you say make sense. Millions of people will be scared and will want to cling to something that can save them. If that angel swoops in and saves them on their darkest times, then their faith will be transferred to that angel. Brilliant but nasty at the same times just like those angels.” Ascalor stated.

”How do you propose we handle it? This is your territory after all. Even if we are your elders, you are the one governing this territory and we are only giving you a hand in managing it.” Koronn stated.

”Helping? You guys also get a portion of my wealth for your service. You guys are gaining something as well, but you at least make sure that everything run perfectly.” Adrian thought to himself as he smiled because he would never dare say this out loud. He is thankful for them, but they are also the reason why his wallet bleeds sometimes.

”I already have a way to make sure that war will never happen.  Or at least lessen the number of enemies that we have. We will infiltrate the enemies.” Adrian stated.

”I see. You will infiltrate the enemies and kill the angels instigating the fight. Might as well kill the royalty that dared to get this land.” Ascalor stated as he nodded but everyone just looked at him with judging eyes.

”Maybe that is a bit to far.” Bronx appealed.

”You are right. We should capture the angel and send a message by public execution.” Koronn stated.

”That is also very bad but not a bad suggestion.” Adrian stated as he slightly nodded.

”It seems that I need to pound away your bloodthirsty nature, young brat.” Bronx stated with a sigh as the others around him is actually very violent when left by their own devices.

”I was just joking. Haha.” Adrian stated but he did not forget to take a mental note of that. He is already an angel killer so adding one more will not change that anyway.

”My real objective is to infiltrate the kingdoms and make contact with a person of authority. The king or a crown prince would be better. I will then propose them a trade agreement and aide for the time being as the curses of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are still active.” Adrian stated.

”That is a much better sounding plan.” Bronx stated as he seated comfortably once again.

”I like my plan better.” Ascalor argued but they did not entertain his demeanor.

”That is a good plan, but those glowing birds would have guarded the king of those three kingdoms already. They would have surely made preparations against our space spells.” Koronn stated.

”That will be easy. We will just make sure to spread information about a certain race that angels hate to their core. They hate them because they are the representation of them when they are no longer shackled by their goddess. We will use the devils to make sure that the infiltration will be a success. Let me tell you the plan.” Adrian stated as he smiled deviously.
