Time- 20:33
Location- Sun Blossom City, Card Creationist a.s.sociation, Auction house, West Wing Hall
After I hung up on Diana, Agatha confronted me saying, "Tell me you didn't just agree to leave the city to meet your goons in the late evening."
"Yes, I did. I don't see the problem with it," I replied to Agatha not understanding what she was getting at with this.
"You don't see it or are you just pretending to get me worked up," Agatha asked.
"Agatha, I don't see what's the problem," I said asking Agatha to be more specific about her concerns.
"Didn't you say that the circle knows your purpose of visit to the sun blossom city? Including the fact that three semi-demiG.o.ds are protecting you. Don't you think they must have made preparations against it? You running around will make it easier for them to target you," Explained Agatha unable to make the point she wanted to.
"What you just said makes no sense, if they wanted to attack me why wait for me to leave the city, why not attack me directly? I don't know what you are worried about but don't I have you here to protect me?" I said and then decided to call Roy.
"That is it, I am here to protect you but I don't want to fight the semi-demiG.o.ds from the circle. I would rather prefer to fight in the way beyond for a decade than fighting them," hearing Agatha's words I was dumbfounded. She seemed to dread the semi-demiG.o.ds for the Circle for some reason maybe she has encountered the semi-demiG.o.ds from Circle before and it did not seem to be a good experience.
"What the f.u.c.k? I brought you to protect me and now you are telling me you are too afraid of the enemy. Why did you not say so earlier? This is messed up. s.h.i.+t, out of all the semi-demiG.o.ds out there why did I have to get one with such a weak spine? Tell me what exactly you mean by those words," Yelling at Agatha I asked her what did she mean by her words that she would rather fight in the way beyond for a decade than face the semi-demiG.o.ds from the Circle.
"A few years ago, I heard that a half dozen of semi-demiG.o.ds from the circle disobeyed the direct orders of their immediate superior and went deep into the way beyond only to get stranded in the way beyond. Despite them disobeying the orders of their immediate superiors, our battalion decided to conduct a rescue mission for them, after all, they were promising semi-demiG.o.ds. We could not just give up on them.
But by the time we got there, those six semi-demiG.o.ds were standing on a pile of 310 semi-demiG.o.d monsters' corpses. And they showed no sign of exhaustion or had any scratches to show from their fight. It was as if they defeated 310 enemies of the same rank without breaking a sweat. Those of us who went to rescue them could not believe our eyes. If you do the math, it would be apparent that each one of the circle's semi-demiG.o.ds has killed about 51 semi-demiG.o.d rank monsters within a few hours.
I am considered pretty strong in the semi-demiG.o.d realm but even I don't have the confidence to face 51 semi-demiG.o.d rank monsters without getting a single scratch or dying from exhaustion. Now, do you understand why I would rather not face the semi-demiG.o.ds from the circle and rather refer to fight at the way beyond for a decade?" Agatha explained her concerns about facing the semi-demiG.o.ds from the Circle.
"You are telling this to me now? Why did you not tell this to be back in the warehouse? When I had the chance to make changes to my security detail," I asked Agatha and then went through the Clown Mask's memories to understand and get more details about what Agatha was talking about.
It did not take me long to dig up what Agatha was going on about in Clown Mask's memories. The semi-demiG.o.ds in Agatha's story were not card apprentices but Lich. All six of them were Lich disguised to look like card apprentices using human skin cards, which was why they were not exhausted or had a single scratch on them even after taking down 310 enemies of the same realm.
Those six were not the only semi-demiG.o.d Lich that the Circle was hiding, they were many more from where these six came from. But the Circle's semi-demiG.o.d rank was not just made using Lich they also had capable card apprentices of semi-demiG.o.d rank.
The Circle deploys its high-level Lich only when it has to get important things done. As for the small matter of a.s.sa.s.sinating a card soldier from a third-rate city, they would not deploy a Lich with the risk of exposing to the world that they are making high-level Lich. So Agatha had nothing to worry about. But I did not know how to explain this to Agatha.
"Just so you know, I am not afraid about facing the semi-demiG.o.d from the circle, I am only concerned that while facing a semi-demiG.o.d of that caliber, I cannot divide my attention between protecting you and facing the demiG.o.d. And if anything were to happen to you, Anna will harm my princess, which I would like to avoid at any cost. Therefore, I plan to retreat with you at the first sight of an enemy semi-demiG.o.d, whether you agree to it or not." Agatha spoke about her decision; it seems she had made up her mind and there was no way for me to talk her out of it.
"Fine, I agree with your decision. If those guys are as dreadful as you speak of, I would prefer my life over some revenge. But you have to promise me one condition," I agreed with Agatha because by off chance if the Circle did send a lich then I did not want to die a foolish death.
