Yered returned to eliminate the Thirty-six Umbraguards of the Yeftero Race.
James and the others exchanged glances.
“What do we do now?” Maddox asked.
James looked at him and said, “You’re a mysterious guard of the Mevryee Race, and no one in the outside world knows of your
existence. This mission’s failure won’t implicate the Mevryee Race. You should go back.”
“Alright.” Maddox did not say much and vanished into the darkness.
‘We should plan our next move now,” James said, furrowing his brow. “Yui is too powerful. Although we couldn’t kill him this time,
he inflicted severe injuries. The Yeftero Race will surely seek revenge. We need to think about another plan. In my opinion, we
need to find a place to hide and observe for some time. Let’s see what moves the Yeftero Race will make.”
Jadranka frowned as she said, “The Yeftero Race’s intelligence network is formidable. Where can we hide?” James suggested,
“Let’s head to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion headquarters.
We have to search for the primitive inscriptions of the other races. Once we find them, we can recover Qairo. He’s at the peak of
Quasi Bliss Rank. We won’t fear the Yeftero Race anymore as long as he recovers.”
“However,” he changed the subject and continued, “Let’s go check another place. See if Yered can kill the Thirty-six
Umbraguards of the Yeftero Race. If he manages to do so, it’ll still count as a heavy blow to them, and the mission won’t be a
complete failure.”
“Alright.” Qiyana nodded.
They quickly left and headed toward the location where they had set up the first formation.
Their speed was much slower compared to Yered. When they arrived, the area had already collapsed, and all Thirty- six
Umbraguards of the Yeftero Race were dead. Only Yered remained there.
Yered was covered in wounds, and his aura was weak. He appeared before James and the others.
Seeing Yered in this state, James asked, “Are you alright?”
Yered shook his head slightly. “I won’t die easily. Although I couldn’t kill Yui this time, I managed to kill the Thirty-six
Umbraguards. The Yefteros will surely retaliate. I can’t go back to the Flammae. My return would implicate them. I need to find a
place to hide and heal.”
“Hmm,” James nodded gently.
Looking at James, Yered asked, “What are your next plans?”
James replied, “I plan to go to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion headquarters. The Yeftero Race can’t reach there even if they’re
strong.”
“In that case, see you around,” Yered clasped his hands and then disappeared from the spot.
James looked at Qiyana, Jadranka, and finally at Thea, saying, “Come with me, Thea. This matter won’t implicate the Mevryee
Race if you come with me. If you go back, this matter will surely affect them.”
Thea nodded lightly and said, “Okay.”
“I need to go to the Central Plane before heading to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. I had brought some powerhouses from the
Endlos Plane when I left this time. They’re currently in seclusion at the Central Plane’s Dieux Academy.
It’s not a secret that I’m from there. I need to take King Marciais and the others before the Yeftero Race reaches the academy. If
they fall into the hands of the Yeftero Race, the Endlos Plane will be exposed. At that time, our relationship will be completely
exposed, not only implicating the Mevryee Race but also dragging the Endlos Plane into it.”
This mission failure disrupted all of James’ plans. He needed to make a quick trip to the Central Plane before heading to the
Heavenly Secrets Pavilion headquarters. They did not linger in the dark space and quickly left the Dark World, heading towards
the Central Plane in the outside world.
The Thirty-six Umbraguards of the Yefteros were an extremely powerful and mysterious assassination force. Each of them
possessed a soul lamp.
