Chapter 1181: Chapter 401: Steel Armor
“Lord Rein, we meet again.” Augustus said warmly.
Moreover, the phrasing was different from their first meeting. This time, even he, a general and the actual second-in-command at the Sword Holder Headquarters, used the term ‘Lord’ when addressing Rein.
Perhaps, the young Claire and Beyonce didn’t notice this subtle change in address.
But Tatia, Olena, and others noticed, their beautiful eyes flickering.
Obviously, this indicated that the young Lord Rein held a higher status in the eyes of the high-ups at the Sword Holder Headquarters than before.
“General Augustus, good day.” Rein smiled slightly and said.
Claire and Beyonce, nervous because it was their first time meeting such an important figure, hurriedly followed their captain and saluted to greet.
“No need to be formal, please have a seat.” Augustus said kindly.
After everyone was seated, Olena quietly left the small conference room, as her level was not high enough to listen in on such an important meeting.
“Lord Rein, please recount the unexpected situation during your mission in detail.” Tatia smiled and said.
“Alright, at the foot of Sword Blade Volcano, we were attacked by a Wizard from the Tutkash School… clawed ghoul… demon statue self-destruction… legendary stitched monster…”
In the meeting room, everyone, including General Augustus, listened intently. Besides Rein’s narration, the only other sound was the rustling of notes being taken.
“The opponent’s spirit seemed to be severely injured due to the death of the stitched monster… took Evil God’s Blood… possession… incarnation…”
Hearing this, Tatia couldn’t help but look up, somewhat surprised at Rein, and confirmed: “Lord Rein, are you saying it’s an incarnation? Not a projection?”
“Yes, I’m sure it’s an incarnation.” Rein nodded and said.
At this moment, a middle-aged man sitting next to General Augustus, with an epaulet displaying a pair of golden leaves and two suns, coughed and said:
“Ahem… Lord Rein, you might not be very clear, but to summon a divine incarnation, it requires very unique conditions for the possessed human. Finding such a suitable vessel for the divine incarnation is not easy.”
“Moreover, even for an Imperial Guardian, handling a divine incarnation can be quite challenging,” the person added tactfully.
However, Claire, who had long been awed by the strength of her own captain, couldn’t help but speak up upon hearing this.
After all, she hadn’t been able to help her captain in direct combat at all.
In this headquarters’ situation investigation, she had to say something. Claire chimed in impatiently, “This Admiral, our captain explained it very clearly, and we were all present at the time, witnessing it clearly. The opponent was undoubtedly the incarnation descending, not just a projection.”
“Yes, I can also attest to this.” Beyonce nodded from the side in agreement.
“No need to get excited, ladies. This is not a hearing, just a session to record the situation.” The Admiral couldn’t help but smile wryly and said.
Thinking for a moment, Rein nodded and said, “I think that Wizard from the Tutkash School who was possessed must be quite special.”
“His name is Staven, and he is quite powerful. Perhaps Major General Tatia could check later; there should be records in the headquarters.”
“Staven?” General Augustus suddenly became serious and said.
“Yes, Sir.” Rein nodded.
“No need to check. If it’s him, then it’s definitely a divine incarnation without a doubt.” Augustus waved his hand and said.
“I know Staven. Thirty years ago, he was already a Third Level Crystalization Peak Wizard, and he was also a rare Shadow Type genius Wizard, completely qualified as a vessel for a divine descent.”
However, after finishing his words, Augustus scrutinized Rein, seemingly surprised at Rein’s ability to handle a divine incarnation.
At this moment, Tatia suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, Lord Rein, do you know part of that God’s true name?”
“Yes, before Staven’s soul dissipated, he told me that this Evil God was referred to as Spider God Na’jburkan by them. I think these words are part of the deity’s true name.”
Gods’ true names are usually very long and are also a kind of top secret for the deity.
“What! It’s actually the Spider Demon God Na’jburkan?!” General Augustus, usually calm, was unexpectedly startled this time.
The others present, including Rein, couldn’t help but feel surprised at General Augustus’s loss of composure.
After all, currently within the Empire Territory, cults were proliferating like mushrooms, and projections or even incarnations of various Evil Gods descending were not uncommon.
Even a few months ago, an Evil God’s avatar directly interrupted the Emperor’s semi-divine promotion.
Logically speaking, General Augustus, as the second-in-command at the Imperial Swordsmen, should be used to such occurrences.
Could it be that this Spider Demon God is different from other Evil Gods?
“Sorry, I lost my composure.” Augustus apologized after pondering for a moment, as if recalling something.
After a while, he said:
“Thousands of years ago, on the Shirendil Plateau, there was an extremely brutal and ferocious Spider Empire, whose earliest origins are untraceable. However, their worship was devoted to the Spider Demon God Na’jburkan.”
“Later, after being defeated by a coalition of multiple human kingdoms, this Spider Empire retreated deep underground.”
“To avoid excessive casualties, the human kingdom coalition at the time did not continue the offensive, but instead gathered a large group of Wizards led by three Fifth Level Full Moon Wizards, using the divine artifact ‘Blazing Light Staff’, to completely seal their entire domain underground.”
