Chapter 214: Ch 210 preparation are complete -1
And thinking she was all alone, she revealed a bit of her darker self and laughed—like a demoneness reborn she was...
"Hehehe... hehehe... oh my, oh my, Grand Admiral Ezra," she murmured in a low voice as she laughed like the demoneness she had become. "I survived this calamity because Ryn was in a hurry... that was my luck. Even though it failed me in mission selection, hehe... I’m happier that my luck returned for this moment, as it spared me from being tormented by Ryn in the training chambers... but you might not be as lucky as I am this time, hahahaha..."
As Elira laughed, she imagined—at least in her mind a picture of it—how Ezra’s face would look when Ryn questioned him... that is, if Ryn hadn’t already figured out what he meant. After all, while she might be slow on such matters, Ryn wasn’t a complete idiot; she would definitely learn about it herself before even asking Ezra. And when the battle ended, Elira thought, rubbing her hands together like a devil eager to watch the show unfold, she knew exactly how Ezra would suffer— and she couldn’t wait to witness that suffering.
She laughed like that for a moment before she calmed down and returned to her more serious self. After muttering, "Oh, I waste so much time on these things... sigh... I’d better hurry and have my subordinates make their preparations..."
And with that, she took her leave just like the others, but in her case, not to a different fleet or even a different ship. She simply teleported toward her formal office aboard her flagship, the Ajax.
Meanwhile, as soon as Elira left the meeting room, the person who had been in shadow form since the beginning of this meeting—no, calling it a "meeting" would be an understatement, as it would put every meeting in the world and universe to shame... This was more like a banter between fellow Grand Admirals before a battle, at that.
The person appeared in a place not far from where Elira herself was. At first, they were completely covered in darkness... but the darkness receded within seconds, revealing the figure of none other than Kallus.
But this was not Kallus at all.
This was Kallus’s... manifestation—like a primordial spirit of his—while the real Kallus was still occupied with his own work aboard the Obliterator.
This primordial spirit was something Kallus had deliberately left here a few hours earlier, before departing to complete the necessary preparations for the upcoming battle. And before he had left from second fleet flagship he had already given the order to the Seven Grand Admirals who had assembled here as per his order to formulate the battle plan and distribute missions among themselves—and there was a reason he had done so.
