While Azazel, Gabriel, and Serafall were all pondering over Arthas's words, another person at the round table spoke.
Seated on either side of Kuyo were the fox who had led the way and an old man with a long nose in the guise of a practitioner.
This old man was the Great Elder of the Tengu, and had a deep relationship with the Nine-Tailed Fox since ancient times. He was also a highly respected figure in this Kyoto.
However, the three people sitting here at this moment represented the angels of Heaven, the devils of Hell, and the fallen angels.
This made the old man very strange. Just what kind of identity was Arthas speaking from?
"Him? His name is Arthas. He's a freak. You can consider him a representative."
Azazel smiled nonchalantly, saying this. Gabriel and Serafall also nodded slightly in agreement, immediately making the expressions of everyone present change slightly.
This representative wasn't just an ordinary representative. He was a representative of the Three Factions!
"Governor-General-dono, Devil King-dono, Seraph-dono, and this young master Arthas, can you think of a way to rescue Princess Yasaka? We're willing to put in as much effort as it takes."
The Tengu Elder said this with utmost sincerity.
After saying these words, he also took out a painting for everyone to see. It depicted a beautiful woman with golden hair wearing a miko outfit!
"This is Princess Yasaka."
"As expected of little Kuyo's mother. She's truly a rare beauty." Arthas narrowed his eyes and praised lightly, drawing a wary glance from the little fox.
"We can be certain that those who kidnapped Princess Yasaka are still in Kyoto." Azazel said this.
"Oh? What makes you say that?" Arthas asked, and Azazel replied.
The ki of the entire Kyoto area hasn't been disturbed. The Nine-Tailed Fox is the one who gathers all the various ki flowing through this land and maintains balance.
Kyoto itself is a large-scale field. If the Nine-Tailed Fox leaves this land or is killed, Kyoto will undergo a change.
Since even that omen hasn't occurred, that means Princess Yasaka is still alive, and there's a high possibility that those who kidnapped her are still here.
"Serafall, to what extent have the members on the devil side investigated?"
Azazel asked Serafall, and Serafall answered one by one. However, it seemed that the other party was hiding very well. They hadn't discovered any clues so far.
"Perhaps...I know where Yasaka-dono is."
While Azazel and Serafall were talking, Arthas suddenly raised his head and slowly spoke.
"You know? How do you know?"
Whether it was Azazel or Serafall, they both had looks of disbelief.
Although they already had an impression of Arthas's great strength, finding people had nothing to do with individual strength, right?
"Don't worry. Just leave it to me. I already know where they are."
"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but Kyoto is so big. If the enemy is deliberately trying to hide..." The Old Tengu frowned slightly, clearly also not believing Arthas.
"Bad guy...Can you really find my mother? If...If that's the case."
Little Kuyo came over with an excited expression, but quickly lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.
Thinking about the words she had said not long ago, the little fox felt a little embarrassed to face Arthas.
"If...If you can really bring back my mother, I'll do anything you want!"
The little fox said this softly, and Arthas touched her head with some amusement.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would take advantage of someone's misfortune? Isn't this what we agreed on? To rescue your mother."
While comforting the heartbroken girl, the expression on Arthas's face slowly converged. The reason he was so confident was because he had suddenly felt a strange power in this Kyoto.
The power of the Infinite Dragon God, Ophis.
Are you calling me over? That's right...Since it's a conquest game, my not acting for so long must have made you feel bored, right?
"You've found Yasaka's location?"
Azazel asked this, and Arthas shook his head.
"I'm not sure if Yasaka is there, but I felt Ophis's power guiding me there. I think Yasaka is highly likely to be in that place."
"The power of Ophis?!"
Arthas's understated words made Azazel gasp involuntarily. However, thinking about the strange way Ophis and Arthas got along, he understood.
He shouldn't try to guess the thoughts and actions of the big shots. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how he died.
"Re...Really fou...found Mom?" Little Kuyo widened her mouth in surprise. She hadn't understood what had happened.
"Let's go. We'll know if it's true by going to take a look. Let's go meet the heroes of the Khaos Brigade."
"I! I want to go too!" The little fox hurriedly shouted.
"Don't be ridiculous. What can you do, little princess!" The Old Tengu hurriedly stopped her.
"It's okay. Let her come along." Arthas said this nonchalantly.
"That's great." Kuyo immediately jumped into Arthas's arms, holding onto him tightly.
"Since Young Master Arthas said so, then I'll leave the little princess to you," the Old Tengu sighed, having no choice but to agree.
Everyone made some preparations and then headed straight for the place that Arthas had discovered.
What they were sending out was an absolute elite fighting force: a Devil King, a Seraph, and the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels.
"It seems that they haven't just retreated, but they've also made preparations to respond."
The moment they landed, a thick fog enveloped everyone, and everything around them began to become unreal.
"This fog is..." Seeing the strange fog, Arthas was somewhat puzzled. As they stepped into it, it seemed that they had come to another world.
"Absolute Mist. This thing is a Sacred Gear." Azazel, who had a thorough understanding of Sacred Gears, spoke.
Everything besides us has completely disappeared. It seems that only we have been forcibly transferred to another space and sealed inside.
However, this is also good. We can let loose without restraint. Azazel said, stretching his body with a ferocious smile.
Kuyo spoke next, her voice trembling.
"...The guards who died with Mother said before they died. They were surrounded by fog when they realized it."
"They're coming." Arthas spoke slowly, his gaze also moving with it, towards the other side of the fog.
