&#x3C;p&#x3E;Chapter 161:&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;Collateral Foundation&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Almoses watched as the bottom part of the egg opened. A pair of white boots to the slim thighs of an individual popped out. The white pants matching the phantom color absorbed the air in the room. The phantom beings&#x2019; arms majestically shot out of the egg, without cracking it open. Long white gloves capable of covering forensics in a murder case. The egg shed off like snakeskin, where the being arrived.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;He wore a German-like war coat, made of all-white fabrics and black buttons to match. A pale snow complexion skin, where his eyes dazzled a woman with the pure blue ice color. The blue rapier to his side, holstered on his waist had three handles. The rapier still let the user have a quick swing with the featherweight to it.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;His hand over his heart, bowing towards Almoses. &#x201C;Greetings General Almoses. It has been quite some time, has it not? We have missed you sh.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Almoses slightly raised up. A wounded eagle looking strong to his prey. &#x201C;Gallian of the Six Swordsman. The Spirit Sword. What an honor. Why have you come?&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Zeronas and I were walking upon an investigation sh. We have found some interesting intel. Lady Aege has requested your audience in Elbaronce for this matter. Along with the King sh.&#x201D; Gallian informed. Every time he finished a sentence he stuttered slightly, hushing himself.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;The King and Aege? What for?&#x201D; Almoses asked.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Calum continued to observe the situation. Gallian finally noticed his presence, turning his eye slightly towards Calum. &#x201C;A human champion&#x2026; I must have interrupted you or did I save you once more?&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Who cares. You never answered like always Gallian.&#x201D; Almoses focused. His eyes shifted in a direction searching for answers to what occurred.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Seems we have a traitor in our midst Almoses sh. The Strays made their move&#x2026;&#x26;nbsp;They arrived in Cevice kingdom defeating General Ariel sh. Another was nearly killed in Womcos. Lilith Queen of the Night is currently being resurrected after the humans used her weakness against her sh. One only you generals know about. I came to bring you to Elbaronce. The Generals will all meet the King, the traitor will be found sh. And&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;What is it?&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Gallian stuttered and clearly could not get his words out at all. He hesitated and bit his lip. &#x201C;Time has come for fate to decide the future of the two worlds. The human world and Eukaperok sh. The Primus Deus energy has been awakened. We must avoid being close to it sh. That is why we are evacuating to Elbaronce.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Calum continued to listen in on the threat to the demons. He attempted to use a string to handle the swordsman. Gallian noticed it. His body flinched and the goosebumps on his body reacted.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Gallian held his rapier to the throat of Calum, pressing it towards his trachea. Gallian entire body became a ghost. The blade he held was still in a solid state. Gallian however could be seen through. Untouched. &#x201C;You filthy human. To think you would even try to attack in this weakened state sh.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Almoses cleared his throat alerting the swordsman. &#x201C;Hold, Gallian! Leave him be. The information you have told me. We must leave now.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;As he discussed matters with the phantom. Almoses healed himself with the shadows covering his wounds. Gallian quickly holstered his blade, clearing his throat back into a solid state.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Leaving these humans alive was a huge mistake. Do you understand who attacked Ariel and Lilith?&#x201D; Gallian asked.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;&#x2026;&#x201D; Almoses finally could sit on one knee staring at him anxiously.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;The ones you feared have returned Almoses. The six people who can wipe out both humans and demons of this world.&#x201D; Almoses eyes raised, once Gallian gave a clear enough description for the shadow general.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;The Roku Zaiden has returned&#x2026;?&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Yes&#x2026; those six and the Primus Deus is it a coincidence? Lady Aege has informed all of us swordsmen of what this means. We must hurry now.&#x201D; Gallian spoke in fear.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Almoses assisted by Gallian stood on both his feet. Calum remained on the floor confused about what was happening. The two demons both shared a mutual fear of what seemed to come. Two of the ten demons have been defeated by Jai Marshall and AFK. To hear a group of six individuals has taken out two other generals concerned the demons. Six remained. Malik Nevaeh, Aege, Sorries, Almoses, Hexivus, and Layek.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Calum put together who remained. &#x201C;If there is a true traitor amongst the demons and Jai can defeat Layek. Only four generals will remain&#x2026; we stand a chance, right?&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Who is the Roku Zaiden&#x2026;?&#x201D; Calum asked, stopping the two demons.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;The two could not even respond to the answer. They froze and could not even move. Both the individuals&#x2019; eyes stayed complacent. A voice from afar answered. &#x201C;The first champions to kill humans and demons. People call them the X Foundation. A foundation is driven by hunting souls of both races. The strongest six warriors of this world&#x2019;s dark history.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Zeronas appeared on top of the staircase, teleporting himself beside Gallian. &#x201C;Let us move now you two. The events of the next few hours will change this world for good.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Almoses questioned Zeronas right after he arrived. &#x201C;What of Layek?&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;One who clearly wants to kill the King does not deserve a safe council within our ranks. Let him go on alone. If he lives, he lives. If he dies, he dies.&#x201D; Zeronas spoke out turning towards Calum. &#x201C;If you plan to live, get stronger. That ability in the end is uncontrollable right now. If you used it any longer, you may have died. Almoses would have lived. If you two are destined to battle again, may it be faith that brings you together? Right now, we all are in danger. Inform your guild. We may not have an opportunity to defeat these individuals alone.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Calum grunted. &#x201C;We will never side together. There will always be two sides who cannot coexist.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Perhaps. Do you see these two in fear? If you live long enough, you will see we have something in common. Fear of the Roku Zaiden. Ask your Overseer, he was the Overseer of the fearsome six monsters. Ignard even hides from them. Because when the demons come back every thousand years, so do they. It&#x2019;s not the energy of the demons that fear Ignard, it is the percentage of his assassination rising after he doomed them here for eternity.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Calums eyes widened in shock. The truth of the matter is the war between champions and demons became secondary. The return of this threat mattered more to the demons than anything else. Gallian began to create a bubble around them. Zeronas left a few words for Calum to think of before it was over.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;When the Primus Deus awakens and the history reveals itself, this world&#x2019;s fate will be intertwined between you humans. Goodbye.&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Almoses stared at Calum during this. As the flame nearly engulfed the three. He parted Calum with a bow. &#x201C;Defeat Layek and his forces. Subdue this small threat, while we prepare for the greater scale in front of us.&#x201D; Almoses stated.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;The forces of Unspoken Truth and Layek were not small threats. The plan to destroy this world remained. Yet, the demons worried only about the Roku Zaiden. Calums eyes narrowed and blurred during this warning. His body was in shock, from a large amount of blood loss. He finally began to pass out beaten and battered. Finally, closing his eyes.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;I will&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;A war that has caused a continuing rift between two worlds!&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Mysterious rifts open around the globe, transporting regular people to another world. On a normal day a teenage boy, Jai Marshall and friends are sucked in. The group is forced to serve as champions of the world. This sequence of events is not at random considering Jai&#x2019;s older brother Omar was formerly a champion of this world. Jai will do anything to ensure the safety of his friends inside a world where the unexpected is constantly broadened. Even though the group is equipped with ancient abilities from past champions, the task they have been given is a great mountain to climb. Can Jai and his friends survive this world?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
