Chapter 91

"symbiote collective is a vast network of beings who share knowledge and experiences and I could tap into this network to uncover the truth about my origin."

"It's funny to hear this considering it made me more confused, I have an origin?"

"Hey! Beta can you help out, I was hoping to gain additional knowledge, but I got more questions."

"I am just a chronicled past memory of the owner of the Rune book, I hold within me the secrets and knowledge that were once important to the owner, and my memory tells the story of the author's life and experiences."

"ok! I think it's better for me to meditate on this situation."

Ramiel thank Suldusk for sharing his insight and left, as he went toward his chambers and ask Alpha and Beta to give time some personal time to meditate alone , so Alpha Beta and the symbiote collective separated from the main host as they waited beside him, the symbiote reshapes into a condense sphere as 300 souls silent waited,

while Alpha sat on the other side and also waited Ramiel closed his eyes and focused on his breathing, allowing his mind to clear as he delved into a deep meditative state. The symbiote sphere pulsated gently beside him, its energy calming and soothing and he lost himself in thought.

Meanwhile, a few miles from the border territory of the newly established settlement name Arcane, a large basecamp was establish filled with criminals, murderers and thieves silently and secretly gather toward waiting for their biggest possible target that will make all of rich beyond their wildest dream,

this was because one of the six elders who were part of the group who plotted to overtake the Orc leadership and control of the land by manipulation and vile action before, personally knew the warlord named Tharkeroth, as he receives a secret letter a few days prior to the return of the Arcane king,

and with the information within the letter and some material evidence, the warlord didn't waste any more time and moved out immediately by travelling to the secret bandit mountain pass in an area where few beasts roam, with his 300 different types of underling that swore loyalty to his flag, they reach the area that was mentioned to be the gathering point within the forest. as dozen of spies and guards from the elders , coordinated all the needed information about the enemy and their powerful leader,

they were prepared as they all carry powerful artefacts and weapons to ensure the total annihilation of the settlement and secretly waiting for the 6 elders' arrival at the meeting point that was a few miles from the target, The elder had meticulously planned the attack, studying the enemy's weaknesses and devising a strategy to maximize their advantage. With the element of surprise on their side, victory seemed inevitable. they were aware of the Arcane king's power and his desire to expand his territory.

Tharkeroth was with them as he wants to personally see the untouched vast riches of the land where the new rising kingdom was rising, and he finds it amusing that the vagabonds that escape the calamity-infested lands would join and be part of a new flag, as one of the Ten Highbeards members who once clashed with Ramiel during the underground slave entertainment that Omael Drorkanel illegally establish in the city of Ivlares

The Ten Highbeards were notorious for their involvement in illegal activities and often clashed with authorities under the command of Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron and other nobles who follow the law that the Queen enforced. Ramiel's encounter with them during the underground slave entertainment was just one of many instances where they caused trouble in Ivlares.

Despite their notorious reputation, the Ten Highbeards were able to operate with impunity due to their connections with corrupt officials and powerful merchants. Their influence extended beyond Ivlares, reaching even the neighboring kingdoms.

they were all fully prepared and spied around the area using the most powerful camouflage artefact and confirmed all the reports that the land indeed holds a lot of raw material that can even make the nobles' combine wealth look like chump change, while the Warlord Tharkeroth was holding a jewel as big as his fist,

Excited by the discovery, they quickly began planning how to extract the resources without drawing attention from other rival factions who may also be interested in the same land. They knew that if they succeeded, it would bring immeasurable wealth and power to their own faction.

they have been setting barrier traps to sealing everybody inside secretly and will attack them tomorrow night when the red full moon will grant his lycanthrope warriors to activate their Berzerker skill increasing their level twice,

Tharkeroth was just waiting for that red moon to shine tomorrow night and start massacring the entire community,

Ramiel was still in the room when Alpha sense a familiar energy and as Beta secured Ramiels safety, Beta acknowledge her request and expanded and became a huge cocoon and covered the entire bed, as Alpha sent out all of her shadows to spread out and patrol the area and report back to her as soon as they see something out of the ordinary. after Alpha proceeded to go to the Arcane device executive office to meet an old friend, Laerdya was the first one to greet Alpha as she tightly hug her dearest friend,

" I miss you so much!"

"How did you know it was me? and why you didn't mention anything before?"

"I know you very well my dear friend, you are weird and eccentric but I know whatever the reason it might be, it is for his wellbeing!"

"Alpha cut their reunion short because somebody is coming and in his current condition Ramiel won't stand a chance,

Alpha decided to exclude Ramiel from engaging this particular enemy. because he is now encountering an interpersonal dilemma, so many things are happening around him fact he is still too young to be dealing with them,

"I want him to grow in a normal paste but the great Archon's planned destiny toward our clan has now become his responsibility, I was too naive and overprotective of my only son,"

"I think its time that you tell him the truth, "

"I will after making sure he will be safe and strong enough for them, "

"what are you going to fight one of them, your energy was no longer at its peak, and facing them now with just half of your power is a suicide,"

"Alpha shadow confirmed that the enemy is now secretly converging around the settlement with 340 strong warriors whose levels are on par with Vandom Ragnar Hellmane, and will reach their vicinity les than a hour ,Alpha asked her dear friend to gather all of the executives in the main hall immediately.
