Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Chapter 166: Troubles Keep Coming

[Chronos Magic Academy]

It's already afternoon and Daoma, Oliver and Alice were having their lunch

Suddenly all three of them turned their head towards the northern direction. Particularly Daoma's magic senses were picking up familiar magic signals. His eyes widened in astonishment.

He couldn't believe his senses.

'It cannot be that guy Zebel. He...he is still alive. Yes, I am completely sure, this magic is part of his Divine art, Heaven's Bliss. That wide range Rank Eleven magic'

Daoma was in deep thought and forgot to breathe for a moment. A wide smile appeared on his face.

Oliver and Alice noticed the change in his expression.

"Sir Daoma, do you know anything about the source of that immense magic power?"

Oliver didn't believe that any magic-user in the continent can possess such an enormous amount of magic and cast a spell of such kind which can be felt from thousands of kilometers away.

He thinks that the only person who can answer this question is Daoma sitting next to him.

Alice was also interested, she put down her spoon for a moment and stopped eating.

Seeing their curious expression, Daoma's grin became even wider.

"Let's finish eating our dinner first. After we meet that guy behind the vast amount of magic power, I will tell you a long story about the dark ages of magic user world"

Hearing that Alice was displeased, but Daoma did not pay any attention to her and continued eating his food. Oliver also didn't say anything and started eating his food.

From what he knows about Daoma personality, if Daoma had said he would tell, he will someday definitely tell them. The question is when.

They weren't the only ones who felt the enormous magical power, all magic-users of Magic Champion stage or higher could feel it.

[Chaos Empire, Imperial Palace]

Emperor Harold was sitting on his throne when he noticed an unusually large amount of magical power, and could not help but look northward with a serious expression.

During these days he has already witnessed many unusual phenomena, nevertheless, he was curious.

'Is Kai behind this again?'

From the moment he spoke to Kai, he already knew that most of the phenomena were some way or another all related to him.

That phenomenon on the day of the blood moon, the golden sky, the appearance of mysterious chains of golden and silver colors, all of it was related to him. Even behind the death of Arbus was his teacher.

Thinking about all the troubles that Kai had brought, but on the other hand, he put him back in reality, letting him know about corrupted nobles. He had been going easy on them for the past years.

Therefore, as soon as he returned, he organized an investigation team to uncover all the evil crimes committed by the Duke of Santon and the Duke of Dragos behind his back, as well as people associated with their families. To his surprise, he learned about the crimes of the grandson of Duke Dragos, whom he planned to make his son-in-law and the future right-hand man of Froleytia.

'It was a blessing to meet Kai or I would have been living in my own dreams'

He looked at the report of the investigation team and the evidence they have verified. Even so, there was a lot left to be checked as well as the shady work of different nobles and officers.

He plans to carry out a thorough clean up within three months. Astonishingly he found traces of the Assassin organization, one of the neutral forces of the continent helping them out in the investigation of all the nobles and officers at high speed. There have been instances where documents of high security mysteriously appear out of nowhere with clean and specific information.

He can understand that the Blood Commanders are part of the Chaos Empire Army and Asava told him to work with him to clean up corruption in the Chaos Empire, but what about the Assassin organization? Why are they helping?

Although he wants to investigate them but thinking about the price and if in the process they find out something they shouldn't know and somehow offend them, the consequences would be dire.

Harold took a long breath and sighed.

'I can't afford to make a mistake this big and offend the ruler of the night' thinking so Harold put those ideas aside and continued reading the report.

[Buraford Kingdom, Western palace]

Due to the fall of the Royal Palace, all work and also the officers were moved to the Western Palace, resulting in the various rooms in the Western Palace being used, which are usually empty.

[Admiration Office]

Behemoon was sitting inside with Sisko and Jordan sitting across her with names of various documents and calculations.

"Are you sure? This is the total amount of military expenditures sent in the last three months?" 

Jordan and Sisko nodded.

Hearing that Behemoon sighed as she looked at the numbers of zeros. A total of 3 billion gold was spent in three months to upgrade the entire Buraford Kingdom to increase the performance level of the army as well as increase the quality of individual soldiers. Excluding the magic crystals used by soldiers to improve their cultivation. All this money was paid from Kai's pocket. After going through all the documents of previous years, she found out that this is the total expense of the Buraford Kingdom of the past ten years.

'Hopefully, the kingdom will be bare its financial burden after we complete the integration of the administration system of the Buraford Kingdom and the Alfrine Kingdom instead of relying on the Kai personal gold'

She looked at Sisko and Jordan "So, what is the condition of the military? How many experts do we have at the Transcendent stage?"

Sisko thought for a moment and then replied "Miss Behemoon, we have forty-six thousand Magic Warrior stage soldiers and six thousand three hundred thirty-nine Magic Knight stage soldiers"

Hearing that Behemoon nodded and wrote it down in a separate file.

"You can go now"

Sisko and Jordan nodded and left.

Sometimes later, Prince Julis entered the room.

Behemoon stood up and welcomed him.

Julis had arrived yesterday at Amon city and since the morning wanted to meet Behemoon after reaching Royal City through the teleporter. But due to her busy schedule, it was not possible. So, in the meantime, he had decided to meet Saintess Maya. Sara had already told him that she is currently staying in the Royal City, Utopia. He was delighted to meet her again after three years and had a long talk for hours. In the process he also came to know about the present condition of War Sovereign San Di and that Miss Ellie is currently busy finding the cure for the life severing poison of the Chaos Empire.

This meeting with Behemoon was already his 12th meeting in the last three months. Lots of discussions had been going between them to decide how to integrate both kingdoms slowly without disturbing the normal operation of both nations. Many times the Count, Earl, and other small nobles came to visit her with Julis to discuss the integration process.

At the beginning of the meetings, many nobles were against it in the initial period, but they were gradually convinced with the help of his father, King Walter.

Miss Kaya had visited the Capital to see the condition of the phoenix egg but didn't tell him or his after about it. Recently there had been changes occurring to it.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Behemoon. Today you look beautiful as always."

Hearing that Behemoon smiled "Mister Julis is a sweet talker. This is our first meeting after the completion of the integration process. Is there anything troubling you that you want to discuss?''

Julis nodded "Miss Behemoon, after the earthquake that happened two days ago, the Phoenix egg started to cool down and the flames around it slowly faded away. My father is worried about it and sent me to talk regarding this issue. Thinking that maybe you know something about it, if not, we hope that miss Kaya can help"

Behemoon shook her head.

After completing her evolution process and becoming a Storm Mermaid. She had received the bloodline memories of different sea species but no information about the fire phoenix. Not to mention that Kaya is currently not present in the Buraford Kingdom and went to the Forbidden Forest to see how things are going there. Another reason was to see if anybody was teleported to the core region or any part of Forbidden Forest due to frequent space crack occurring during the phenomenon caused by unlocking of the continental seal as well as to meet the rulers of inner regions of the forest. They are currently attacking the eastern boundary of the Romand Kingdom for three months but now that Kingdom is back on track. No distractions are needed.

"Sorry, prince Julis. Kaya is not present in the Buraford Kingdom and went to visit the Forbidden Forest. I will inform you as soon as she gets back. I don't think it will take much time" said Behemoon as she placed her hand on her cheek and thought for a moment.

"At most, she will return by the next morning or late at night. But don't worry I will tell her about it as soon as she comes back"

Julis nodded, helplessly sighed, and left the room.

Behemoon wrote a note so that she doesn't forget about it and started going through various documents. Her work of the day has just started.
