Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 1204

Chapter 1204 - An Assassination! I

From their current positions, Halcyon could feel the gazes of all those around them as her mind was calm and serene for what was to come.

She had seen much and done even more, her mind being forged over the years as when she understood what she must do, she did it.

The moment that information was passed to their House about the appearance of a Daolord that was wiping out others of similar rank like mere weeds, she appeared in the Cosmic Battlefield.

Before she even saw for herself this being utilize a rough mixture of laws and Daos to produce devastating attacks, she knew.

She knew that the time she had been waiting for had come.

So she told her own Mother, the woman that presided over the entire House of Havenbreaker as the Family Head- that she would take care of this newly appearing Daolord, and even draw him into their house if need be. Of course, all were words said for her to achieve her own goals.

’Mother...’ The word felt foreign to her, even if the woman gave birth to her millions of years ago. After such a long period of time passed and seeing so many things, it just never remained the same over the years.

The brutality she had seen over the years. The plots and schemes. All of it was just...

’Laughable.’

Yes! Before her eyes and what she had seen, it was truly laughable!

But the man before her eyes...this was not something that she could ignore. It was one of the possible points in time where she could dip in her hands and possibly...just possibly...

"In this game, I will provide to you information. In the next minute or two, this peaceful banquet will be disrupted...and an attack will be made on your life. The weakest of those attacking you will be Daolords as the strongest...are monstrosities that have yet to appear in the Primordial Empire. "

Even as she said the words, she found them ridiculous herself. But she couldn’t deny them as she had seen it.

Now, and in the past, she had seen it...and it came to be true.

This, she knew, and this was what she used to move. She studied the eyes of the man before her curiously to see how he would react, but he remained as closed off as ever, the golden glow of his eyes just becoming more condensed as he seemed like he could shoot off golden beams of light at any second.

"Is that so?"

His words were not a mental message, but spoken from his lips as they continued a hint of curiosity.

"Yes." She continued to study his expression as she brought her body closer to his while speaking slowly.

"I may know who is behind it, I think. But for now, I can only tell you about this coming attack and have you prepare. That is my game of trust. Afterwards, I hope you and I will be able to talk on equal terms. I hope we can talk on even closer terms as the repercussions of what is to come are dealt with."

Yes. Of what was to come. Such words and thoughts should have been terrifying for anyone to hear, but the man before her seemed unfazed as while holding on to her right hand, he spun her thrice before he brought their bodies close once more.

"Are we not already talking on close terms, Princess Halcyon?"
