However, seeing that boy now... It gave Clement a whole new look at the boy who controls the Time Element.
"You've always concealed your rank when the Congregation was still around... I thought you hated it, and I think you might've enjoyed having the title too much for my liking. To think you confirmed my suspicions of you, Raiyen Phoenix E Harmony," said Baldwin, glaring at Raiyen.
"Who were you in the Congregation? You never told me you were in that group..." asked Mavislin, tilting her head.
"Raiyen, the Time Mage of the Congregation. The only one who could manipulate time to his advantage was part of the Triplet Holder division within the Congregation. Masters of three Elements, the Triplet Holders are known to have another ace up their sleeve."
"They possess a spell called Holy Trinity which combines their three Elements into one attack and triples the amount of power than their standard output. Their division's Headquarters is at the heart of the Teuton Domain since their powers are quite destructive."
"Amongst that division was the famed Time Mage of the Triad Assasins. Known for his quick reactions and kills, Raiyen made himself the most efficient and finest Triplet Holder the Congregation has ever seen. Again, a prodigy, going up the ranks in such a short period."
"I was surprised when you didn't join the upper ranks after Old Man Pond talked highly of you, Blue Dagger," answered Baldwin.
Mavislin looked at Raiyen with uncertainty about how to feel about everything she had been told. The Valkyrie tried to keep a sight face but could not help feel... Sad that her partner did not tell her the truth. Rina saw her leader's look and quickly squeezed Mavislin's hand.
"I didn't want to join the upper ranks because I knew I wouldn't get along with you, Baldwin. And more so, I don't always agree with Poisoned Pond's ideas or instructions. Operation Zeus was done in secret because I don't like being flashy about my kills."
"I don't walk around with pride in killing so many people. I do my job and go home in one piece. I want to survive, not be a hero of any sort. Thus, I did not join the upper ranks. I prefer to move in secrecy. Besides, Z knew I didn't like that guy since I saw what Pond could do."
"Then why did you abide by his commands to kill all fourteen Mages?" questioned the Angry Man.
"He's actual command was to torture those Mages to submission into joining the Congregation. But Old Man Pond was bored and wanted me to put on a sick show of torturing the cult. But, I disagreed and asked to kill them off instantly since I can't stand their faces anymore."
"As for their leader and our target, Fujimaru Raijin, I made sure to show to the rest of his followers how pathetic he was as I challenged him to a duel. I promised to use nothing but my Electric Element while he could use various weaponry on me. Despite having every advantage against me..."
"I slaughtered that man in front of his followers after three moves. And Old Man Pond can vouch for me when I promised not to use any other Elements or weapons in the duel. After that, killing them all was child's play for me. But I don't expect him to resurface again after a year."
"The entire cult came back to life again as a revolt in the form of the Corrupted Wave of Husks. However, their powers were noticeably weaker, and I was tasked to slaughter all of them again. But, when I dueled against Raijin, I noted that the Corruption Element had altered his powers."
"His lightning became black instead of the usual yellow. And his attacks were more erratic and uncalculated when I fought against him. His Orginal Spell is a type of Spell Structure called 'Fractions.' Raijin would combine all Fractions of the Original Spell to create another move."
"However, Raijin can use each form independently depending on the situation. In total, Raijin has seven forms; The Seven Mysteries Of Storms. And they go by First Mystery, Second Mystery, and so on. By doing each Mystery a certain way, Raijin could unleash the Final Mystery."
"An all-out assault from the wrath of lightning bolts surging through the skies. But, if he does it reversely, it becomes a defence spell," explained Raiyen, as Raijin's profile popped up in everyone's vision.
"I've got another tale I can tell about this brat. When I first met this yellow-haired nothing, I was busy drinking my heart out in the forests of the Campania. Then, this kid walked up to me and challenged me. HE DESTROYED MY VAT OF SAKE when I told him to buzz off."
