All Novel Full Chapter 32 Confrontation
Erin smiled perfectly knowing what Arthur was trying to do.
“I appreciate your offer but my daughters have already chosen a future partner on their own will, I think you as a father can understand it”.
Arthur’s cocky expression disappeared the moment he heard Erin’s answer.
“Revy matriarch, I hope you reconsider, after all a union between two ruler families is not something to be taken so lightly”.
Erin nodded.
“Yes, I recognize the importance of such a thing, little Daimon come here for a second please”.
Daimon took a few steps until he was standing next to Erin before rising his hand and showing his claws to all the present people.
Edgar felt his heart sinking while Arthur’s expression turned ugly before saying.
“A werewolf huh? … I think it’s been stablished already that no one from the young generation of the Argent clan is at the same level of my son, are really that desperate to refuse my offer that you prefer your daughters marrying some weakling instead of a genius?”.
Some of the members of the Revy clan looked a bit worried, the clan head and the “champion” or the strongest Arch ranked person in the family are the main pillars beside the ancestors, so if both Elaine and Elizabeth marry some talentless guy the family will weaken in the future, contrary to what they expected Erin kept her smiling expression which made Arthur have a bad premonition that was confirmed a couple of seconds later.
“Ohh, so now my clan is inferior to the Jolbaris?”.
Everyone turned to see the sky and their eyes widened a bit, her beautiful white-silverish hair which combined so well with her last name, her yellow eyes who were akin to the ones of a wolf and that indominable presence only reserved for those that had overcome death more times than what one can even imagine… the matriarch of the Argent family, Aura Argent.
Aura landed on the ground next to Daimon before pointing one of her fingers at Arthur.
“I admit it, you must have iron balls to call my first and only disciple a “weakling” right in my face, specially considering that I personally tested him and he is far superior to that kid from your family”.
All the present members of the Revy family including Edgar felt chills running through their spines, the woman in front of them had a lot of bad habits, she liked to sleep almost all her free time, she was short tempered and took revenge over the smallest grudge but if you were to speak about her virtues the most outstanding one besides her monstrous battle prowess was that… she has never bragged about her clan members not even once, in fact she is always the first one to criticize them, so if she said that kid was better than Alexander Jolbaris then it was probably true.
Arthur saw all the Revy family members who were having some doubts, now changing their attitudes and he gritted his teeth, “this cunning woman… made fell into a trap”, he thought.
And he was right, previously Aura just wanted to use Erin’s dark curtain to surprise Arthur but instead of that, in a couple of seconds Erin created a plan to not only to make Daimon popular among the upper echelons of the Revy family but also decreasing the authority of the supreme elder and having a good excuse to make Arthur Jolbaris leave in disgrace.
Speaking of Arthur his lungs were filled with Anger right now, he shouted at Aura.
“You damn crazy woman, I still remember your answer about the proposal I made you and now you are getting in my way today!!!”, the atmosphere seemed to suddenly change and dark clods appeared on the sky while Arthur left some of his mana run wild.
Aura smiled and drew her sword, her body started glowing in silver light.
“You think that lame lightning of yours will scare me? you are not the first lightning BEAST I have seen or fought before, if you want to fight then shut up and follow me”, she said before flying above the clouds followed by Arthur.
Daimon was in awe… this was not part of the plan; he turned to see Erin and saw her shaking her head before saying.
“Elaine, activate the barrier, little Daimon, pay attention to what is happening, clashes between half emperors are hard to come by nowadays ♥”.
The next thing Daimon saw was a thin crystal-like semi dome with some symbols moving all over it as if they were swimming surrounding the whole Revy family grounds, and it was activated exactly on time because outside of it, after both Aura and Arthur disappeared into the clouds, the ground itself started shaking, the surface of the sea that was almost 200 kilometers away started revolting due to the strong gusts of wind, the magic beasts on the forest areas nearby ran away as fast as they could.
“It looks as if the world was about to end”, was the only thing Daimon could think right now, even with the barrier protecting the whole area, the sound of thunder exploding outside made those with low magic cultivation feel a bit dizzy.
Luckily Erin was still maintaining her protection around Aisha and Daimon so they were not affected unlike others, suddenly a huge lightning impacted against the barrier making it wave a bit while absorbing the impact without any signs of breaking, then the dark clouds illuminated in a silver light before they were split in half and a loud scream echoed through the sky.
“Ahhhhh!!!!”.
Erin smiled and patted Daimon’s head before saying, “It’s over”, the clouds disappeared and everything returned to normal and Elaine deactivated the barrier, a moment later two figures descended from the sky, Aura looked exactly the same as before she left, on the other hand Arthur Jolbaris… looked miserable, his clothes were worn out and there was big sword wound on his right shoulder.
Seeing the current status of his friend Edgar felt his legs trembling remembering some bad memories, he once acted high and mighty in front of Aura just because he thought that as the supreme elder Erin would not let her do anything to him and the result was that Aura nearly broke his legs, still in front of a half emperor he came to the conclusion that it was an unavoidable result but now, the result was the same and her opponent was… another half emperor.
Aura kept her sword in her ring before saying.
“The next time you insult my kin in front of me I will cut one of your two “heads” humph”.
Arthur gritted his teeth, the wound caused by Aura’s sword was hurting like hell and no matter how much mana he was using to accelerate his natural recovery, the cut was not closing nor stopping bleeding, he gave all the presents a poisonous gaze before saying.
“So be it, I won’t insist in this matter anymore… Edgar since I’m not welcomed here, I will take my leave”.
Edgar noticed that Arthur was giving him an excuse “accompany” him to the exit and at the same time avoiding the consequences of inviting him but unfortunately Erin’s words made that last chance disappear.
“We won’t send you off, speaking of our “current” supreme elder both me and the clan head have some matters to discuss so he won’t be going anywhere until that is settled, now please leave”.
At this point Arthur couldn’t care less about Edgar’s pleading gaze, this day he lost his face un front of too many people, he exchanged blows with Aura and not only he could not land anything but he got a wound visible for everyone which was probably the most humiliating thing he has ever experienced.
Still, he couldn’t do anything, he was the one who started the fight and unless he really wanted to start a war by activating his domain, he could only swallow his complains, Arthur flew until he was far from the Revy family grounds before using space shift to disappear.
Now that the main threat was gone, Erin, Aura, Elaine and Elizabeth all focused their attention on Edgar which made his back cover in cold sweat.
Erin shook her head.
“The supreme elder has put the clan in danger by bringing a half emperor without the consent of the clan’s head or mine so from this moment onwards his status will be revoked along with all his privileges and he will be demoted to a third rank elder, I will personally investigate how did Arthur Jolbaris managed to bypass all the security points of our clan, does anyone have anything to say about this decision?”.
Edgar almost lost it, he used to be the clan head and before stepping aside from the position because her daughter was proposed by Erin to replace him, he did all he could to maintain a high-status thud becoming the supreme elder but now he was being degraded to a mere third rank elder which meant he at most had the authority to rule a small planet on the border of the jurisdiction of the Revy family in the white fang galaxy.
He turned to see some of the elders that had connections with him but none of them dared to look at him directly, the matriarch just said that she will personally investigate how Arthur could enter the city without her being notified so many people were going to lose their positions for sure and speaking right now was the same as admitting to be involved.
Erin nodded.
“If that is the case, punishment elder please take the former supreme elder to the detection hall for further interrogation”, she then pointed at Daimon before continuing.
“As for everyone else, just like the matriarch of the Argent family said, her disciple Daimon Licht will be marrying both of my daughters in the future, I personally have seen his potential and I can assure you that he will surpass Alexander Jolbaris once they encounter in the academy, so now go and pass the notice to all the branches of the family, let everyone know that our Revy family is now united with the Argent clan!!!”.
A middle-aged man with long black hair and scars on his face and neck placed his hand on Edgar’s shoulder before making him walk along with him, after that all the other people that arrived due to the commotion returned to their daily activities, it was only midday so there was still a lot to do.
