Realm of Myths and Legends Chapter 996 A Temporary Withdraw

Chapter 996 A Temporary Withdraw

When the person removed their hood, a long flow of dark green flames appeared, along with a pair of emerald eyes that resembled a sea of burning flames.
The moment that individual lowered their hood, Izroth was finally able to get a glance at their system information. However, even without the system, Izroth could tell that his suspicions were correct by their appearance alone.
'I had a feeling they were related, but... To think my luck would be this good. I'm almost somewhat tempted to thank the person who sent them right to my doorstep.'
NPC Name: Head of the Seventh Demon Clan, Tal'Yah(???)
NPC Level: ???
Back when he was ambushed at the border of Duke Sorkoza's territory, Izroth sensed a familiar aura from the dark green flames used to eliminate one of the assailants. It vaguely reminded him of the flames used by the Lady of the Everlasting Rain, Tal'Nis. However, despite their similarities, there were too many noticeable differences between the two flames, which is why Izroth could only speculate.
Before he could confirm his suspicions last time, Tal'Yah had already left the scene. But, Izroth knew that as long as they were after him, their paths would inevitably cross again. This is why he did not attempt to stop their escape. It was also why he was in no rush to cut down Tal'Yah after she attacked him just now.
Although it would have been a misunderstanding, if he ended up killing the current head of the Seventh Demon Clan, Izroth would automatically fail his quest and become their eternal enemy. Not to mention, he would undoubtedly lose the blessing he received from Tal'Nis along with the chance to acquire one of the Seven Flames of Tal.
Fortunately, Tal'Yah did not appear to be the stubborn type. That being said, it was not as though she had zero apprehensions.
Izroth could still sense some lingering distrust Tal'Yah held alongside her astonishment; however, at the very least, she did not choose to completely dismiss his words. This was no doubt due to the fact that he displayed the Veil of the Seventh Origin Flames.
The power of the flames was nowhere close to what the fragment of Tal'Nis displayed during the crusade. But it was more than strong and pure enough for someone like Tal'Yah to realize its origins; or, at the very least, have a rough understanding of it.
Of course, regardless of if she had some worries about whether or not he was deceiving her, Izroth understood that Tal'Yah could not dismiss what was before her eyes. In the end, even if it was only the smallest of chances of what she believed to be true, as the head of the Seventh Demon Clan, it was not something she casually ignore.
Not long after Izroth used the Veil of the Seventh Origin Flames, Tal'Yah's expression became troubled.
"If that flame is truly what I believe it to be, then perhaps my Seventh Demon Clan has not been completely forsaken by our ancestors. But, if it turns out to be a form of deception and he uses the opportunity to escape... there will be nowhere left in the Mortal Realm for our Seventh Demon Clan to go." Tal'Yah contemplated.
Not even half a breath passed before Tal'Yah released a light sigh and pulled her hood back over her head.
"I do not know just how much you understand about the flames in your possession; however, since you revealed it to me in this manner, it must mean that you are aware of its significance to my Seventh Demon Clan. For the time being, I will refrain from asking how you came into possession of those flames. I am also willing to stay my hand until you conclude your business on this battlefield. But, if it does turn out that this is just a trick, then even if I must use this life of mine as the price, I will make sure to repay the debt brought about by your false hope." Tal'Yah stated solemnly.
The next moment, Tal'Yah became engulfed in dark green flames as her body started to vanish.
"Until that time comes, I shall be watching over you, Izroth." Tal'Yah's voice sounded before slowly fading as the dark green flames dispersed, and she was no longer anywhere to be seen.
'I can't sense her nearby with my Energy Vision Sense. To think that after the first encounter, she has already discovered a way to avoid my detection. Her temperament is also not too bad. The Lady of the Everlasting Rain is quite fortunate to have such a descendant.'
"You're just letting her go?" Ranazera frowned.
The sixth princess did not understand what Izroth and Tal'Yah were talking about; however, it was obvious that the two had some indirect history between them. Or, to be more precise, it seemed that he had something she wanted that made her agree to withdraw temporarily.
"It's not a matter that concerns you. I also advise you to give up on any useless thoughts of revenge. If you wish to chase old debts, then I will be forced to settle the one I owe you for attacking the members of my 9th Division." Izroth responded with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Ranazera furrowed her brows. She then released a helpless sigh as she closed her eyes and said, "Forget it. I'll let it go. I'll just consider it as me giving you some face."
"So be it," Izroth replied in a carefree manner.
Izroth knew it was not easy for someone like Ranazera to let go of things, especially when an attempt was made on her life. As a princess of Tempest, she had her own pride. If she needed to see it as giving him some face in order to drop it, then Izroth did not mind.

Izroth looked down at his palm. The protective aura from the Veil of the Seventh Origin Flames still had plenty of time remaining until it ran out.
One of the quest tasks was to give the Seventh Origin Flames Necklace to the current head of the Seventh Demon Clan; however, Izroth chose to hold off on handing it over to Tal'Yah. It was not that he planned on keeping to himself. Instead, he had another idea in mind.
Initially, the quest mentioned that he had to go to the underground chambers within the Holy O'Tohelm Sanctum to discover clues regarding the whereabouts of the Seventh Demon's Clan's hidden abode. After doing so, Izroth would then have to locate the actual Seventh Demon Clan's hidden abode. It was supposed to be at that point he handed over the Seventh Origin Flames Necklace to Tal'Yah and proceeded to the final part of the quest.
However, now that Izroth had met Tal'Yah before his trip to the Holy O'Tohelm Sanctum, couldn't he just get the location of the Seventh Demon Clan's hidden abode directly from her?
If so, he had just jumped from a 0% to a 75% completion rate for the quest in one leap. Now, all he really had left to do was to assist the Seventh Demon Clan in re-establishing their connection to the Seven Flames of Tal. In order to accomplish that, Izroth believed that he would undoubtedly require Tal'Yah and the Seventh Demon Clan's assistance.
'The matters concerning the Seventh Demon Clan will have to wait until later. Right now, I have to focus on what's before me. It'll be a shame to let this protective aura go to waste. I should make the most of it.'
The Veil of the Seventh Origin Flames active skill from the Seventh Origin Flames Necklace granted Izroth a protective aura that lasted for ten minutes and could absorb up to a total of 1,000,000 damage!
How could let such a thing go to waste in the middle of a battlefield?
"Sagarus," Izroth called out to seemingly no one.
Bzzzzt! Crrrrckle!
In a flash, a bolt of lightning struck down in front of Izroth. From that bolt of lightning, a figure emerged. This figure was none other than Sagarus.
"You called, my lord?" Sagarus said as he kneeled.
"Watch over her for a while. " Izroth stated calmly.
"Leaving so suddenly--just what are you up to now?" Ranazera inquired curiously.
"Someone has been looking this way for quite a while. I figured it's only right I give them a proper greeting." Izroth said with a carefree smile as his gaze traveled into the distance towards the north part of the battlefield.
