Chapter 152
With that, Einar dismissed the nobles, signaling the end of the tense confrontation. As they left the palace, the weight of responsibility hung heavy on Einar’s shoulders. Balancing the needs of his people with the demands of war was a burden he bore alone.
Back in Ikenga’s realm, he was thinking back on how the prayer by Einar and his son Ragnar was able to allow Mahu display a bit of her power "Nana said that for us to interfere in the mortal realm, a ritual has to be performed. Does my understanding of a ritual differ then?" Ikenga thought to himself.
It was small but when the two father and son prayed to him he felt he could extend more of his power to the mortal realm "Pseudo ritual perhaps" Ikenga thought as maybe what the two did was fully a ritual but half a ritual where only a part of his power is allowed gateway, the rest like his physical manifestation is still not allowed.
Not minding that Ikenga looked over the kingdom of Björn and Einar, since he was reborn this was the first of something close to epic happening. With his connection to nature he could feel how the forest in the sunny land is scared, the coils feel the tension and they knew that they were going to be destroyed.
Ikenga could only calm them down by promising on restoring the destroyed land and Nature after the upcoming war has been completed. "By the way" Ikem’s eyesight changed to see a group of humanoid beings clad in dark robes perfectly hiding their figure.
This group had a perfect hiding technique or treasure, but since they are surrounded and hiding on trees, it was the same as flashing a light in a dark forest for Ikenga, they could be easily spotted "They most certainly aren’t Björn or Einar people so who are they" Ikenga thought to himself as he rubbed his chin.
"Should i Inform Mahu of this new player?" Ikenga thought to himself before shaking his head.
"Something interesting really is about to happen, Mahu might react strongly to this new player so for now I will enjoy the new entertainment besides she doesn’t lose much if the humans lose" Ikenga thought to himself as he floated crossed legs in the air.
Two days went by fast, and it was torture for Einar because he not only was waiting for Björn’s attack he was also battling the nobles in his kingdom. He even felt like starting the attack on his own just to avoid meeting with the nobles.
