THE GOD EATER

At this point, Skarg had to admit that Loki might not be in Earthly Battlefield E6-137. But he didn’t have any other choice of where to look for Loki because Damon was dead.

He discovered Damon’s death after he went looking for the death cultivator. The news had made him frustrated for a long time.

Aside from being frustrated, Damon’s death also gave him even more reasons to believe that Loki was gone from Earthly Battlefield E6-137 because he suspected that Damon had been killed by Loki.

If Loki had killed Damon, then Loki would not be in Earthly Battlefield E6-137 anymore. Since he didn’t have anywhere else to look for Loki, he decided to do one last thing.

He decided to reach out to the commander of Earthly Battlefield E6-137. He did this because he believed that if Loki had entered this Earthly Battlefield and was still there, the commander should be the person to know.

Amelia had just finished a battle when she received Skarg’s message. She was sitting on her bear on the city wall while surveying what was left of the battlefield.

In the distance were the warriors of the Martial Body Sect. They were leaving after they noticed that she had arrived. They knew that with her here, they couldn’t take the city, so they left.

Beside her were two equally large bears. There was one on both sides. All three bears were armored, so not only were they strong and ferocious, but their defense was also incredible. This made them living tanks, not some wild animal.

Since there was nothing left for her to do, she decided to check the message. She took out her token and dipped her mind into it through her internal energy.

In the message that Skarg sent, he said, “Have you seen this person? If you know them, I am willing to pay a heavy price for their information.”

Skarg then went to describe everything that he knew about Loki. There was also a picture of Loki attached to the message. That way, she would be able to know exactly who he was looking for.

As a rank 4 being with a Mind Palace, she can never forget someone that she has seen before. So she didn’t need all the description of Loki to recognize him.

As soon as she saw the picture, she remembered that calm and collected person who had remained stoic throughout Greg’s infuriating question and answer session with the newbies.

His behavior that day had left an impression on her, so she would have remembered him even if she didn’t have a Mind Palace.

After recognizing him, she tilted her head to the side as she thought of what to do. She thought for a few seconds before she began formulating a message to send.

She sent a message to Skarg, saying, “Who are you?”

Skarg replied, saying, “I am Skarg Rein. I am a rank 4 member of the sect.”

She read this message before she sent a message to Loki, saying, “Why is someone named Skarg Rein looking for you?”

Loki sighed in resignation when he saw this message. He knew that he couldn’t hide the matter anymore, so he said to her, “I am the reincarnation of a rank 5 being.”

When she saw this message, her eyes lit up, and she said to herself, “So that’s why he was so calm that day. He is the reincarnation of a rank 5 being. He is truly worth the title.”

Then she began working on a message to Skarg. This message was short since what she wanted to tell him was short and straight to the point.

She said to him, “I’ve never seen this person in my life.”

Then she asked, saying, “Why are you looking for him?”

Skarg said, “He is a long-lost friend. My offer still stands. If you see him, please reach out to me.”

She snorted in displeasure when she saw this message.

Then she sent another message to Loki, saying, “I told him that I have never seen you. So now you owe me.”

Loki was surprised to see this message. He was also skeptical about it, so he said, “Don’t you want to know how to advance to rank 5?”

She chuckled when she saw his message. Then she said, “I’m not so clueless. I already know how to advance to rank 5.”

Now Loki wanted to ask her how to advance. But he didn’t want to blow his cover yet, so he forcefully calmed himself down.

Instead of exposing his ignorance by appearing too eager, he took a deep breath before saying nonchalantly to her, “Is that so? What do you know?”

When she heard this question and noticed the slight hint of disbelief in his tone, she thought he was testing her. So she said, “I know that one of the materials needed to advance to rank 5, perhaps the most important material, is a natural wonder.”

Then she waited for him to speak. She was waiting for him to say if she was right or not.

But Loki didn’t know if she was right or wrong. So he said, “What do you want in exchange for your hiding me?”

She didn’t think at all before she replied, saying, “I want you to take over from Greg and help me push the Martial Body Sect back.”

Loki shook his head as he said, “That’s two requests. You can only make one request of me.”

She shook her head too and said, “No, it is one. Greg’s duty is to help me push back the Martial Body Sect, so if you replace him, you have to do his work.”

But Loki said, “That may be his duty, but it is clear that Greg isn’t doing his duty. If he were, you wouldn’t ask me to replace him.”

“So I can replace Greg, but that doesn’t mean I have to do his duty. So the choice is yours. I can either be as bad as Greg or be better than Greg. They are not the same thing.”
