Chapter 329: Vatler's Arrival

"Yuejiang, you seem to have something on your mind lately. Has something happened?" Lingyun said to Nangong Nayue, spinning two silver balls in his hand.

"Lately, Itogami Island hasn't been peaceful at all. You remember, don't you? A while back, the Orcs from the Black Death Emperor Faction snuck onto Itogami Island and caused trouble." Nangong Nayue set down her teacup and spoke.

"The Black Death Emperor Faction? You mean those radical lunatics who prioritize Orc supremacy? How did they get here?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

Because he hadn't expected to come to this world beforehand, Lingyun hadn't specifically watched the anime of this world; he only remembered the general content.

"We don't know their specific objective yet. The Itogami Island security forces are actively investigating, but things like this are obviously not easy to uncover. Do you have any information on your end?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"I recall their goal seems to be destroying Itogami Island and breaking the Sanctuary Treaty," Lingyun said slowly.

"With the Black Death Emperor Faction's current strength, they have no ability to destroy Itogami Island. They definitely have a backup plan, and this backup plan is certainly not simple," Nangong Nayue said. "I previously destroyed a research institute connected to the Black Death Emperor Faction, but the items inside had already been transported away by someone," Nangong Nayue said. "Could their reliance be the Narakuvera?"

"Narakuvera, the legendary weapon created by the gods, said to have destroyed countless cities and civilizations in the past. If it's something like that, it might truly have the ability to destroy Itogami Island," Lingyun said, frowning.

"That isn't very important; after all, the Narakuvera isn't so easily activated. Back then, many scholars spent so much effort and still couldn't activate it; it will be even harder for the people of the Black Death Emperor Faction to activate it," Nangong Nayue said, tapping her forehead lightly with her fan, looking somewhat troubled.

"Compared to this matter, the fact that Dimitrie Vatler of the War King Domain will be arriving at Itogami Island in a few days is the real trouble. Although he is coming to Itogami Island this time as the ambassador of the War King Domain, given his battle-crazed personality, if he runs into Xiao Gucheng, who is the Fourth Progenitor, I'm afraid there will be a fight!"

"Dimitrie Vatler, that is indeed a troublesome person. This guy seems to have once courted the Fourth Progenitor, Avrora, but it seems he failed. I am now worried he might twist those feelings toward Xiao Gucheng. Moreover, this guy once devoured two Elders; I don't know if he will set his sights on Xiao Gucheng," Lingyun said slowly.

"Cannibalizing his own kind? If that's really the case, then we have a problem," Nangong Nayue's brow furrowed instantly.

"Don't worry, aren't I still here? If Vatler really dares to pull any tricks in front of me, I wouldn't mind letting him witness the wrath of the Sky God," Lingyun said, smiling as he stroked the head of the Sky Dragon. "Besides, how the people of the Black Death Emperor Faction snuck into this heavily guarded Itogami Island, and even how that department managed to send the Narakuvera onto this island, is also a huge question!"

"You mean..." A flash of killing intent crossed Nangong Nayue's eyes.

"This is just my speculation; there is no evidence for now," Lingyun said, shrugging.

"Regardless of whether there is evidence, this matter is enough for me to mark it against him," Nangong Nayue said.

"That may not be so. Don't forget, in this school, there exists a person known as the 'Empress of Electronics.' With her abilities, she might just be able to activate the Narakuvera," Lingyun said.

"The Empress of Electronics, you mean Aiba Asagi?" Nangong Nayue's fan struck her palm.

"No, if the Black Death Emperor Faction really snuck onto the Ocean Grave to enter Itogami Island, why didn't Vatler notice?" A flash of doubt crossed Nangong Nayue's eyes.

"You know his twisted sense of humor. After learning that the Fourth Progenitor and someone capable of activating the Narakuvera exist on this island, it is understandable that he would do anything unbelievable," Lingyun looked toward the sky, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "That's why I hate such lunatics the most!"

Outside Itogami Island, on a massive cruise ship, Vatler stood before a window, looking at Itogami Island, a strange smile flashing in his eyes.

"Itogami Island, Cursed God, Fourth Progenitor, Lion King Organization, Sword Shaman, Black Death Emperor Faction, Christof Gardos, Witch of the Void, and a mysterious Vampire with a familiar comparable to a True Ancestor level. This island is truly a wonderful place!" Vatler curled his lips into an eerie smile and spoke slowly.

"Then, can you introduce me to the Fourth Progenitor living on this island?" He turned his head and said to the girl behind him.

Kirasaka Sayaka nodded slightly and said with a hint of resentment: "No problem. We never intended to protect him in the first place, because the Fourth Progenitor is our enemy!"

After listening to Kirasaka Sayaka's introduction of Xiao Gucheng, Vatler spoke again: "By the way, can you tell me about the news regarding that mysterious Vampire?"

"As for that, we don't have much information right now," Kirasaka Sayaka said, frowning. "We only know that he first appeared by Nangong Nayue's side. The familiar currently known is called the Sky Dragon, which seems to possess the ability to break through Barriers. Its combat power should be no less than a True Ancestor level familiar."

"No less than a True Ancestor level familiar? Interesting! Do you know which True Ancestor's kin he is?"

"Regarding that point, it is currently unknown, and this is also the point we are most puzzled about."

"How could I not meet such an interesting person? Isn't there a party tonight? Besides the Fourth Progenitor, send an invitation to him as well."

……

Lingyun was walking down the road with Nangong Nayue when suddenly, a sharp arrow shot toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun stretched out his hand, and an invisible force instantly bound the arrow while simultaneously erasing all the power on it. The arrow lost its force and turned into a black invitation, which Lingyun caught in his hand.

"This mark is? The emblem of Aldegyr. Is this an invitation sent by Vatler?" Nangong Nayue said, frowning.

Lingyun opened the invitation and took a look, his brow raising slightly: "This is, an invitation to a party? Is this snake-charmer setting his sights on me?"

"This guy is not easy to deal with. If he has designs on you, that will be quite difficult to handle," Nangong Nayue said, frowning.

"Party invitations allow for a female companion, you know. We'll go together when the time comes. If this guy really has any bad intentions, I don't mind letting him suffer a bit," Lingyun shrugged.

Nangong Nayue looked Lingyun up and down, wondering what she was thinking, and finally nodded slightly.
