Chapter 245: The Era of Heroes (3)
I was lost in thought that night.
“What should I do?”
This was the question normally playing on loop in my mind, but I said it aloud this time. Back when I was only a Hunter, there were a lot of things I had to think about alone. The Guardian had been my only counselor. Because this was the life of a Hunter, I never considered myself lonely. But now it was different.
Estelle looked down at the field and answered, “I believe a comprehensive intervention is necessary, Patriarch.”
I was no longer just a Hunter, but a clan patriarch. Monologues were no longer necessary. After the cold moonlight fell, we sat around in a dry clearing and talked.
“Comprehensive intervention?” the Ghost Demon King asked.
Estelle replied, “The OJP Sect Master is using People Possession to play multiple heroes at once. From the perspective of the people in this world, this is no different from using a god’s power at will and favoring Skians. It’s unfair. To handle this kind of matter, we have no choice but to use expediency.”
“Hmm.”
I, the patriarch, sat in the center, with Estelle on my right as the advisor and heiress apparent. Chief Warrior Uburka sat on the left, crouching despite his huge size. Head Steward Sylvia Evanail was standing upright, and Kim Yul, the clan shadow, was sitting across from me and quietly skimming through his notebook.
The clan leadership was surrounded by the Four Demon Kings and by the followers of the Heavenly Demon Cult. All the clan members held their breaths as they listened to the meeting.
The moon bathed the land with its light. We, the Death King Clan, stayed buried under the darkness.
