Chapter 58: Last Hope (7)

...

Within the training ground of the Gorgon Fortress, Jaehwan, two of clan leader and Chunghuh was stood in front of the leader of Thunder King Clan, listening to his stories.

“…So, that’s how it came to be.”

Silence fell after the story was finished. There had been no accounts of fortress being overtaken like this in past thousand years.

“I can’t believe it.”

“Golden Sky had grown that quickly? Big enough to take control of Manticore itself?”

Kanghwang and Cayman spoke. Jaehwan also spke out.

“Who are these Golden Sky Clan?”

“They are 10th rank in Ten Clan of Chaos. Weakest one.”

Kanghwang answered.

“But it’s unbelievable that they took down a fortress. I can’t believe what he’s telling me.”

“I think what he says is true.”

Chunghuh interrupted and Kanghwang turned to Chunghuh, in shock.

“How do you know this?”

“Because they tried to take down Gorgon also.”

That’s when Kanghwang’s face frowned.

“Wait, the commodity happened week ago… was it because of them?”

It wasn’t a week past since the attack of Golden Sky’s Prime Elder Maihan was quelled. If it wasn’t Jaehwan to stop it, Gorgon would’ve had been under control of Golden Sky also. Cayman added.

“I guess what Yong says is true. I just have received message that our office in Manticore is not responding.”

“But… how did the Golden Sky gain such strength?”

That’s when Yong who had been staying quiet, spoke.

“I don’t know who, but they are surely getting help from someone.”

Being who can be of help to Ten Clan was very limited. Yong continued.

“I am suspecting it’s one of the Lords.”

“Impossible! Lords cannot interfere in Chaos!”

“But I can’t see any other possibility. Who can be of a help to Ten Clan if it isn’t a Lord?”

Silence fell down. Cayman then added.

“I guess it’s possible. Great Lands are under full scale war. There’s possibility that one of Lords will try to make this chance to interfere into Chaos.”

“Shouldn’t we contact the <Palace of Reincarnation>?”

“You really want to get help from them?”

<Palace of Reincarnation>. The place where Lords and members of Renowned Family are reborn, and where all [Fruits] of Chaos is stored. As it was under direct control of Lords and Renowned Families, the ones that stayed there were one of them.

“If it is a Lord that’s interfering, they are responsible for breaking their pact!”

900 years ago, members of Lords and Renowned Families made a pact to Chaos as they took the [Fruits] from the Depth Expedition Team that they will not interfere with the matters of Chaos from that day forward. It was known as the 295th Great Lords Agreement.

“They did break it but…”

“We must confront them of it!”

“We have no proof. Besides…”
