Supreme Monarch-Chapter 281 C281. Call Of Thunder
As Cora politely ushered him in, Z walked steadily into the large luxurious office, his shoes sinking gently into the thick exquisite carpet as he approached the lounge section of the office where four figures were currently seated.
"Welcome back Z, do take a seat, the main event is about to begin."
The one who had spoken to him was Albert who still had on his butler's suit as he sat in the sofa by the edge of the coffee table, after voicing his greeting to the new arrival, he then returned his attention back to the large holographic screen that hovered above the coffee table.
Z politely nodded his head as a reply to Albert's greeting and promptly took a seat at the opposing side of him.
"So how did it go?"
The girls, Erin, Rain and Liz sat on the long couch besides the pair as Rain asked Z a question the moment he sat down.
"Naturally, it's just as Lord Ty had expected. There are a few of them that had sneak in small scouting units amid the commotion caused by the war. From what I observe, they are all stealthily approaching the castle from various location."
Z answered frankly and simply as though his words had no connections with them but it was obvious that the news he had just brought was of the highest priority.
"Wow, how low can they get. Even sending so many demigods wasn't enough for them Huh."
Rain replied as she thought about the reason for this extra force. Apparently it wasn't to engage in battle but they obviously thought they could achieve something by sending along an extra unit with their original force of mainly demigods.
"I suppose one of their objective will be to observe the castle from a close distance in order to learn the method we had used to gain access to it, and how tgey tgey achieve the same."
"So that's why they mostly sent a scouting unit with such high scrying protection that I can't even locate them remotely."
Erin spoke reflectively in response to Z as she had for the first second time in her life, failed to locate a threat which was quite irritating for a spirit mage like herself.
"Indeed, they're groups are most likely equipped with dangerous artifacts that protects them but they are unable to completely erase their presence and that's enough for me."
"Oh... impressive."
Rain said semi exitedly as she began to clap with a cheeky smile.
"Please don't patronize me. I wasn't trying to brag. I'm aware you can do the same, I was only staying a fact."
"Well, as long as you admit it."
Z sighed tiredly as he decided to avoid anymore reference to his skills from now on to avoid such childishness. He then adjusted his mast as he continued.
"There's a high chance their next move would be an attempt to capture one of us to interrogate us for that information using whatever method they deem faster. It's obvious not all of them would be willing to just wait and see which family might be aiding us so this outcome had been predicted."
"I see, so this outcome had already been predicted. As expected of Lord Ty, he foresaw everything exactly as it happened."
Albert bodded his head in understanding and satisfaction as he stared in awe at the figure standing on the dark drake that was being desolated on the holographic screen.
"By the way, which direction are they approaching from and how many are they?"
Liz suddenly as she seems to have thought of something and was making a connection.
"There are three units of around 50 highly trained rogues in total so it's safe to assume that only three family bothered to attempt this extra mission or even thought of it. One of them is approaching from the northwest, another from the west and the last from the south."
Z concluded his report as he brought out a map from his suit and set it on the table with red spots marking the locations of the three units.
Liz then studied the map for a moment as she seems to have come to an understanding but her expression did not change much.
"From those directions, it's easy to think they are from the Zorak, Brimstone and Morningstar families but that may just be a bluff, the Alcars may be able to move their unit secretly through the Demnirantre Region to fool us."
"True, but I have confirmed that at least the Zorak family and the Brimstone's are involved in this. The last may be from any of the other three, including the Alcars."
Z replied to Liz as she understood what he meant and nodded.
"I see..."
"Well, for now, their presence here doesn't matter as they wouldn't gain any information just by watching us. The question is, do we await Lord Ty's return or move out to handle thes pest ourselves. I'm certain Lord Ty has a lot of uses for their corpses."
See added his opinion at the end as the air around him shifted a bit, making Cora, who was only at the Tier 3 standard, take a step back.
"You may be right but it seems as like our Master's battle is beginning. As his highest ranking vassals, let us all take in his glorious victory with awe and respect. It will not be too late to take care of the pest afterwards."
While Tyler would certainly cringe at Albert's corny words, none of the ones present here today had any issues with it as they had all gotten quiet as they observe Tyler's battle with the Undead king who had evoke the powers of the Shadow King, an ancient god that had fallen in the time of the gods.
Although it seems as though one of them was getting far too exited and had even gotten enraged the moment the Shadow king had punched Tyler out of their spells range, preventing her form further observing his fight.
"I'll try and locate them. Give me a moment."
Erin said as she began to search for Tyler's unique signature and soon located him in the middle of the scarlet sea. She then cast the spell 'Crystal Monitor' to allow the others view the battle ones more.
No doubt the other observers were desperately trying to do the same after finally breaking through Tyler's anti divination spell as he was no longer there to maintain it.
However, none of them had anyone that could even be remotely comparable to Erin's prowess of Divination.

*BOOM!
As though a massive meteor had just crashed from the sky, a figure flew faster than the eyes could even glimpse as it crashed into the scarlet seas in a massive exploding force that sent all the water around him away from him.
The scarlet sea was accurately named for its scarlet glow during the day due to the special minerals that could be found at the bottom of the ocean.
These minerals were a form of metal but held an erratic nature that made it unstable when dry but insanely durable and hard when drenched in salt water.
However, the force of the crash had dug a massive crater at the bottom of the sea, driving the waters away temporarily as they would soon come crashing back at the figure that laid in the center of this crater with a faint smile on his face.
"I think I might be getting a little carried away with this whole overpowered thing. Note yourself Tyler, don't underestimate a desperate skeleton. Now then, it's a good thing I always have a plan B, C, and D. However, which should I go with in my current state."
Tyler spoke as he faintly moaned in pain as he tried to get up from the currently dry ocean floor. The pain he felt did not come from the blow he had just received nor from the crash with the water surface and then the hard soil. Rather, it originated from the rapid spread of the negative corruption all across his body.
His regeneration ability couldn't do anything against the corruption but Tyler knew he could not fight in this state. Luckily he was still able to use his skills and thanks to that, he had some time to think before the shadow king arrived.
Tyler then cast heal and purification on himself several times before he was able to barely stand but his body was no longer as free as it had been. Sending him bolts of pain every time he moved an inch.
'It's a good think my pain tolerance had gone up due to those time Uriel had practically torture me in the name of imbuing skill's.'
Tyler thought as he finally stood up despite the pain. His Magic weapon had been shattered by that blow from the Shadow King but he couldn't raise his arms properly right now so the weapon was pointless anyway.
Flying out of the ocean, Tyler saw Zerahut appear a good distance away and immediately charged at him with intense speed. It seems like he didn't want to give Tyler any chance to recover as one of his arms narrowed into a blade and he swung it.
?Shdow Slash?
A hinge wave of shadow energy gusted out of his swing and the raging waters that were yet to cover up the massive crater in the ground were further split in half as Tyler managed to avoid the attack using spatial teleportation.
'That was too close for comfort.'
Tyler thought as he rapid flew back after the Shadow king had followed that strike with another and was currently chasing after him.
Speed wise, Tyler had been considerably slowed down by the negative corruption hence he was finding it incredibly difficult to avoid that attacks.
Turning his other three arms to swords as well, the Shadow King increased the ferocity of his attacks as even the space around them was beginning to breakdown. The waters crashed back into the crater but the sea could not recover as the space around it was on the verge of collapse.
Unable to avoid these absurd swings anymore, Tyler thought of the best ways to handle these situations as Uriel came up for a series of attacks and spells that would be most effective agaist a creature of shadow.
"Max Magic - Sunlight!"
In an instant, the night all across the scarlet sea had been chased away as the sun rose, shining its blinding light that cast away the shadows.
Of course, this could not kill the King of Shadows as it simply paused and a shadow tentacles shot out of his body and wrap around the miniature sun, absorbing the enemy within. However, the momentary pause was all Tyler needed.
"Now be reduce to ash and wallow in despair."
