Chapter 754: Eradication And Arrangement

According to Azalea, she was hindered by the Left Hand of Siren, Paradox, quickly after she claimed the SSS-ranked magic item and forced into a direct confrontation.

At first, Azalea was at a disadvantage due to the special trait of Paradox’s powers. However, with a bit of planning and patience, she managed to turn the tables in her favor.

Nevertheless, things did not progress smoothly even after Azalea gained her footing. While, in the end, she was able to take down Paradox, just before the Left Hand of Siren fell, she sealed the only way out of the Great Demon Hall.

Azalea tried to search for other exits but came up empty-handed. She also attempted to contact Izroth; however, there was a powerful magic barrier encompassing the Great Demon Hall that cut off unauthorized communication to the outside world. Even a Returning Scroll was useless!

Seeing no other way out, despite searching the Great Demon Hall top to bottom multiple times, Azalea started to contemplate whether or not the only way out was through despawning herself.

That’s when the doors opened from the outside and granted her an opportunity to escape. But, Azalea thought it was another enemy coming to protect the Great Demon Hall. She never would have guessed that the person on the other side of the door was Izroth, who was supposed to be facing Enigma and Smiling Demon.

Azalea was even more surprised to learn that both had fallen at the hands of Izroth. She could not help but inwardly sigh in amazement.

Azalea knew from the moment she crossed blades with Izroth that he was not ordinary, which is why she decided to follow him.

“It looks like I made the correct choice that day. If it’s him, then maybe…” Azalea internalized.

A few minutes later…

Izroth and Azalea left the ruined Siren’s headquarters. Currently, the two were on their way back to the Devil’s Sanctum.

As for the remnants of Siren, they were chased down by Empyrean and eliminated—even the ones who escaped hastily through the underground tunnels.

“Teacher, what do you plan to do now?” Azalea inquired.

Siren may have been the organization that performed the assassinations on their people; however, there was still an unknown party behind the scenes who orchestrated everything. Well, unknown was not quite right. Azalea and Zi Yi had a good idea who may be behind the request to Siren, but there was no solid evidence that linked to the potentially involved party. Of course, they made sure to share their findings with Izroth. Ultimately, he would be the one who decided what actions they took.

In addition, although they destroyed Siren’s main headquarters, there were still other large branches. Eventually, news of what transpired today would reach those branches. In order to save face, they would be left with no choice but to make an example of the people who attacked their main headquarters.

However, this was not the biggest problem at hand. The real threat was not the other branches of the Siren organization, but rather the power that backed them—the League of the Eidolon.

Destroying Siren’s main headquarters was no different from not showing any face to the League of the Eidolon. And, unlike Siren, who was protected by a single legendary individual, the League of the Eidolon had several legendary powerhouses in their ranks. It was even rumored that their leader was at the peak of the legendary realm! In front of them, someone like Smiling Demon, who was only at the initial stage of the legendary realm, was nothing!

“It’s not over yet. I still have to make some arrangements. For now, I will head back to the Twin Fang INN before eventually making my way to Xanaharpe.” Izroth replied.

The assault on the Night Lord’s Crypt was not too far away and Izroth wanted to get there a bit ahead of time to gauge the situation. Fortunately, Niflheim was already present there, so he would not be left completely out of the loop.

But, more than anything, Izroth wanted to finish what he started.

The Antumbra of Decay, Zarolas, was the Skounae Night Lord that Izroth and Commander Aurie defeated back near the Unsanctioned Zone within the Dream Domain. However, due to a certain artifact’s effect, despite claiming the Night Lord’s life, he was now on the verge of reviving.

During his revival, Zarolas would be completely defenseless. But, the Crypt where his revival was supposed to take place would be under heavy guard by a horde of Skounae.

Among those Skounae, would be a member of the Antumbra, a powerful figure whose might equaled or perhaps even exceeded Zarolas himself. And, it was unlikely that they would be unprepared like Zarolas. Without a doubt, the Night Lord guarding Zarolas’ Crypt would have their Spirix with them. With it, their power would increase severalfold!

“As for the other Siren branches, there is no need to worry about them. When I said that after today Siren will no longer exist, I was not speaking empty words.” Izroth said in a carefree manner. However, there was a hint of coldness in his voice as he spoke.

Somewhere near the outskirts of Amaharpe…

BOOOOM!

“Ahhhh! Someone help me!”

“What is this?! I can’t feel my- Ahhhhh!”

“Save me!”

Near the outskirts of Amaharpe, a heavily guarded compound was covered in a sea of flames. There were numerous people below being consumed by purple and black flames as they tried to escape. But, it was futile. No matter where they retreated, the flames would eventually catch up and devour them, leaving not even a single strand of hair behind.

“Ah, this feeling… It’s been too long since I last had a meal this delicious.” A voice filled with self-indulgence sounded from the skies above the sea of flames.

It belonged to a man who appeared to be in his late twenties to early thirties. This man possessed black hair with hints of silver streaks and light gray eyes. He wore a set of black and white combat robes with skulls engraved into them. This person was none other than the legendary figure Izroth formed a Soul Contract with inside the Netherly Swathe, the Death Emperor, Nekrosatoras!

“I don’t know what we did to offend this great one, but my Siren organization will make things right! I only ask that this great one has mercy!” A pleading voice echoed from below near the center of the black flames.

This voice originated from a middle-aged man who seemed to be standing on his last leg with grievous wounds.

NPC Name: Second Fang of Siren, Yeril(Epic)

NPC Level: ???

NPC Faction: Siren

NPC HP: ???(0.10%)

“Mercy? Sure. Allow me to show you how merciful this emperor can be.” Satoras said as he held his hand forward. At the same time, the black flames surrounded Yeril and engulfed them from head to toe.

“Ahhhhhhhh!” Yeril’s voice reverberated throughout the compound before slowly fading away.

Soon enough, the compound fell deadly silent. Not even the sound of an insect could be heard.

Satoras gazed down at the sea of flames as the compound crumbled—fallen from its once grand state.

“This makes twelve. Hmph, foolish humans. Who told you to offend those you could not afford to offend? But, this emperor should thank you. If not for your ignorance, how could I enjoy this delicious meal? Ahahaha!”

Woooosh!

As Satoras flew away from the ruined Siren compound, the only thing that could be heard was the lingering sound of his laughter.

At Izroth’s orders, Satoras located Siren bases and reaped the lives of those present—sparing no one in the process. In total, he had already slain thousands of Siren members and razed twelve of their bases to the ground!

Indeed, Izroth’s words were not just an empty threat. After today, there truly would be no more Siren organization in RML!

Izroth and Azalea arrived at the Twin Fang INN. Once there, Izroth obtained a visitor’s pass for Azalea before heading to the room he purchased.

Visitors were only allowed to stay inside the INN for up to one hour. After that, they would have to leave the Twin Fang INN.

Izroth did not know why such a rule was in place; however, since they would not be staying here much longer, one hour was more than enough time to regroup and recover some of his missing essence. Though there was still one more thing he needed to take care of.

Izroth opened his system interface, and after waiting for a few seconds, the system alert sounded as a voice call was started.

[Voice Chat Has Started]

Mariposa, “This is unexpected. It must be quite important considering that you have never taken the initiative to contact me before.”

Izroth, “I’m in need of your assistance.”

Mariposa, “…Go on.”

Mariposa was curious about Izroth’s request. She had never heard his voice sound this cold before today. She knew immediately that something must have happened.

Izroth, “I need you to spread something for me to every guild, and organization you know. It doesn’t matter who they are, as long as they kill any of the top-ranking members of the Headhunter Syndicate and submit proof to my Mystical Realm Palace, they will be rewarded 200 gold coins per kill with no limit. As for the other guild members, I will offer 5 gold coins per kill with a limit of ten kills. To the person who kills the guild leader of the Headhunter Syndicate, I will grant them 10,000 gold coins. And… My Mystical Realm Palace will also owe them a favor.”

Mariposa, “?!”
