Chapter 183: Idea: Part 1
Late night .
By the shore of the azure sea .
A white vessel that had just arrived spat out puffs of thick black smoke as it pulled a massive wave as it docked by the beach in a location somewhere in Anduin province .
Two middle-aged man and woman in white slowly stepped out of the boat under guard by Redwinian soldiers .
“It’s really an undeveloped beach . Really pretty, without any musky smell to it . Might be a good place to develop as a holiday destination . ” The middle-aged man was effusive with his praise .
“You are even thinking of your business during a mission . Don’t you ever feel worn out by it?” The lady asked .
“Eh, it’s fine . Some habits die hard . ” The man smiled as he looked at the Redwinian Heaven’s Spire soldiers that came to receive them .
There were about ten of them, each one a true Transcedent, and standing in front was the Oppressor of the area, Elba the Pale Viper .
“Welcome, Uncle Maham, Ms Karmen . ” Elba opened her arms and hugged them both .
“We are not talking about our duty here . Elba, haven’t seen you in a while, you’ve gotten prettier . ” Maham smiled .
“Uncle Maham, you’re still the same as ever, your tongue is laced with honey . ” Elba smiled but that seemed to have affected her wound as she coughed .
“What’s wrong? Your injury bad?” Maham’s smile disappeared .
“It’s alright . My lungs were wounded, and had yet to fully recover . I’m otherwise okay . ” Elba waved it off .
Of the two person before her, Maham was a powerful Darksider that she had known since young . Back then, before the Heaven’s Spire grew to its current position, Maham was rather well known in some areas within Redwin . Later he seemed to have joined the Starfury Clan, and she never expected them to meet again .

“I’ve actually carried you when you’re still a babe, and you sure did a number on my shirt by peeing all over it . ” Maham guffawed .
“You should not tell a joke like this to a lady, Maham, that’s very ungentlemanly . ” The middle-aged lady said coldly .
“Alright, alright . ” Maham nodded . “Elba, you should already know why we are here . That one that died over here had the old coot back home fuming in rage, so we, the Blazing Stars were sent out to deal with it . ”
Elba had already received the phone call prior . The communication within Anduin was not paralyzed, it was simply controlled and blocked off by the military .
“The murder is the Special Emissary of the Ironfist Society, Khadula of the Thousand Arms . ” She had no intention to hide anything .
While she too was a newly minted Oppressor, before a veteran like Maham, hiding anything was pointless .
The Oppressor was just a level to signify that a Darksider had the right to watch over an area and to deal with any danger . But that did not mean all Oppressors were all four-wings .
If one were to compare the difference between a man and a Darksider based on the difference of their physical attributes, then for an Oppressor is at the level where your common weaponry would not be able to wound them .
For a veteran Oppressor like Maham, his connections and information network was far beyond Elba’s, so she might as well be forthright .
“So what’s this Khadula of the Thousand Arms like? Can you give me more details? I need details . ” Maham said seriously . He was of the habit to fully understand his enemies before striking against them .
“No problem . I had fought against him, and the fight took about half an hour, but the real fighting was only about fifteen minutes . His strength is probably at the apex of a four-wing, and after transformation, he can, for a short while, unleash an explosive five-wing level powers…” Elba started explaining the fight back then .
She did not just explained, and even brought both of them to the scene for them to get a measure of Khadula’s strength .
All this information and details would be turned into important intelligence and filed into the Starfury Clan’s intelligence vault .

“How? Think we can deal with it?” The lady, Karmen asked after getting all the information required .
Maham got up from the battle scene, “His power level has not reached a true elite’s level . It’s mere brute force, and even at five-wing level, it’s just brute force . Taking it out is not a problem, but…”
“But?”
“But it’s a little weird, I can only detect the residue of Elba’s powers from the ruins, but none of Khadula’s . ” Maham frowned .
“Is it not dark energies? It seems like the Ironfist Society have fully masters a brand new system of powers . ” Karmen said .
“I’ll send this intel back in a bit, those old coots back home will be interested . ” Maham laughed .
“Our investigations is almost done here, so what now? Anything else to do?” Karmen looked around .
With Elba not around, she did not bother to hide much .
“I heard that there’s a manager of the Ironfist Society here . We can play him a visit . ” Maham said as he revealed his white rows of teeth .
Blackfeather City, the Warrior’s Guild .
Lin Sheng took a deep breath as he held his sword tight, staring at the massive armored man on the throne .

The man was about as tall as he was, but much, much more muscular and imposing . He looked like a veritable mountain of steel as he sat on the throne .
Lin Sheng grabbed his sword as he slowly approached the latter . Yet the man on the throne did not move at all, as if he did not even see him .
“Based on the memories, the Guildmaster of the Warrior’s Guild is called the Iron Lord and is a member of the Blackfeather City Council… his strength is unknown . So he’s probably the one sitting on the throne there?” Lin Sheng’s brows furrowed .
He felt that he had to be even more careful as he slowly closed in .
Clack .
Suddenly a clear metallic noise entered his ear .
“What’s that?” he paused .
Hummmm… .
There was some sort of vibration above him . Lin Sheng quickly looked up, and cracks started appearing on the diamond shaped gemstone .
Black lines started appearing on the surface of the gemstone, affecting its ability to project light and the light shining upon the throne was getting smaller and smaller .
Hiss…
A series of racks started appearing with the throne as its core as it expanded all over the ground like a spider web . Dark embers faintly leapt within the cracks .
Lin Sheng instinctively knew that something was not right, he did not turn back, but rather with large steps, made his way back to the entrance of the guildhall .
BOOOOM!!
At that moment, the armored man on the throne burst into flames as a massive amount of dark fire exploded out from his body, and turning him into a walking pyre .
An ominous howl thundered as the flames and temperature rose . The entire guildhall was soon turned into a massive furnace .
And from afar, the guildhall looked like a massive bull, its eyes bleeding crimson light .
“Defeat me! Vanquish me!!”
A thunderous and terrifying roar blasted out from the center of the guildhall .
BAM!!
The guildhall’s main door was slammed open, as a figure engulfed in flames staggered out of the building, screaming .
AHHH…!!!
The figure screamed for a bit before collapsing altogether, reduced to noticing but burnt ash .
