Some minutes before the dungeon difficulty changed, the one who spotted Amara, the 7th Grand Princess, was none other than Lily star.
Lily star, cornered Amara. Amara frowned when she saw that someone was blocking her path. Lily had a smug smile on her face
"And who might you be?" Amara asked Lily with an annoyed look.
Lily leisurely scoffed and opened her fan blocking her smirk. He eyes narrowed with cunningness.
"Allow me to introduce myself...though you should forgive me for not bowing to the Seventh Grand Princess" Lily said arrogantly while fanning herself with her fan.
Amara narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Amara knew that no one dared to speak so rudely to a member of the Galaxy Imperial. She became even more suspicious of her.
Did she perhaps know something about her that she could use against her?
She narrowed her eyes at Lily
"Oh my dear Grand Princess why be so silent hmm?" Lily provoked her.
"What is it that you want? Who are you?" Amara asked with barely restrained fury
"Ding ding ding! Turns out the Seventh Grand Princess isn't dumb after all. Listen carefully" Lily leaned closer to her making Amara retreated backward
Lily whispered. "I have recorded everything you just did"
"Are you threatening me!"
"We have the same enemy" Lily spread her arms wide "the enemy of my enemy is my friend. How about we pair up to destroy her?"
"I'm a lone hunter!"
Lily chuckled sinisterly hiding her sinister smile behind her fan. "This wasn't a request, your highness" she closed her fan and added "listen carefully. I will destroy anything and anyone for the power that I have been promised to be given. I have reached this far all on my own, with my own resilience (more like schemes) and no one-nothing will stop me"
"They will be destroyed by the dungeon. There is nothing to worry about" Amara said with a shrug and full of confidence.
"Either way, you will be in trouble!" Lily said with a shrug looking at the battle that was happening on the screen
"What do you mean by that?" Amara shot back at Lily
"You have made a good way to destroy her but-your tracks are open wide. Good thing I planned ahead and found a scapegoat for you or else you would have been demoted by the Galaxy emperor for going against Master Nocturne's people" Lily calmly explained to her
Amara's eyes widen with complete shock. Lily smirked triumphantly
"Plus, with Tempest's power, this dungeon isn't enough to destroy her completely. It won't even leave a scratch on her" Lily said tapping her chin with her fan.
"What plan do you have in mind then? I merely acted on impulse" Amara asked cautiously.
"The green forest monster subjugation is coming up. My backer has the right creature that would be released to destroy her. Your part in this is to give something to Tempest" Lily said as she placed her hand on Amara's shoulder then threatened "or else you will be reduced to nothing" she whispered cunningly
Lily turned around and began walking. She then stopped and gave Amara an over shoulder gaze. She smirked
"You have no reason to fail right?" Lily asked but before Amara could speak, she walked away
Amara was so furious. She remembered her mother reminding her that whatever evil she will do, she should not leave traces of evidences that someone else will use against her.
Amara glared at Lily's retreating back. She planned to play along but for how long....she only knows
>Back to Tempest<
After the battle, Tempest retreated to her abode not wanting to meet anyone. She sat at her bed after a cold shower as she was wiping her hair.
Her mind drifted back to the battle. She knew that she would have destroyed the final boss but bee reminded her that a lot of people were watching the battle. She had no problem being in the spotlight but having too much spotlight directed at her will become a major problem once a major powerhouse tries to pressurize her.
She had no problem wanting to face them head on but she feared for her friends who were still weak, may be targeted. Their families and everyone close to them may be targeted in order to surpress them.
NEW MISSION: TRAIN YOUR ALLIES TO REACH THE NASCENT SOUL REALM BEFORE THE GREEN FOREST MONSTER SUBJUGATION!
Once the system rang in her mind, her foresight skill was immediately activated. Her mind went blank as images began forming
The images showed that she was severely wounded leaning on her deathblade. The dead bodies of her friends were scattered on remnants of a big battle. In front of her was a titan who was not even damaged at the slightest.
Once that was shown, the images faded. She had a grim look on her face. It was the second time her foresight skill activated on its own. That meant that danger was coming her way and she had to be prepared.
Her grim thoughts were snapped by a doorbell. Tempest walked out of her room to open the gate. Standing outside was Master Crimson. His skeletal hand was resting on the chin of his skull
"My intuition was right. There is a dark cloud hanging over your head-and it seems to the others as well" he muttered to himself but Tempest heard it clearly.
"May we speak inside, Master Crimson?" Tempest said solemnly and he nodded.
He clasped his hands behind his back and walked in
