Reed who can see hear the thunder from the outside took his phone and called a person that gathers information.
"Codename: Summer," Reed said a confusing code word that only the people who wanted a business with Summer, the information gatherer.
"Okay, wait--" A deep voice said as it seems like he handed a phone to someone.
"Summer here, Iris or Black Thorn?" He said as he continued typing on his keyboard.
"Neither--I need Purple Lotus..." Reed coldly said,
"Oh? It's been a while since I heard that from you--Moonblow," Reed was quite annoyed by his tone.
"Then? What do you want?" Summer continues as he immediately searched for information about his family.
"Tell me--is there a member of my family part of the [Phenomena]?" Summer's face completely changes once he heard that.
"Hmm--that is a hard question. I don't even know why are you not letting your children follow your step as one of the nicknamed members of the [Phenomena]. Why are you not even telling it to your family? Gaius and Lily are probably suspecting you, you know?" Summer's voice had a lively tone but Reed from the other side of the telephone felt that his face is cold.
"Just answer me..." He sighed as he touched his temples.
"Answer my question first--why are you not letting your children follow your steps?" Summer stubbornly asked.
"I'll tell you once I've received my information..." Reed said and continued, "...in the name of my name."
It is considered a promise in the underworld. If you didn't do the thing you promised in your name--the underworld will hunt you, even if that is an enemy or your own allies.
Summer is quite surprised by it. He didn't see this side of him.
Reed on the other side is making a very complicated face. He doesn't want to let his children join the underworld because there are dangers for them.
Even if [Phenomena] is basically the one who handles everything in the underworld, there are more powerful groups or organizations that are friendly or hostile with the [Phenomena]
"Hmm--fine. There are two members, you know? And they don't need anyone to know about this unless they confessed by themselves. Ask them privately, they might answer your questions. I can't really answer that question because those two members of the organization--have a higher rank than me..." He wheezed as he smirked.
He doesn't need to know why is he preventing his family from joining but he knew Reed very well. He is rational, strict, and decisive so that means that there must have a reason.
'There are two? And higher? His rank is summer--one of the four seasons. It is already a high rank like me but--' He widened his eyes as he remembered that there are other three groups of phenomena that are higher than them.
First is the global phenomena. They are the promising individuals that got a codename based on the phenomena that can affect the planet. They are all intelligent people.
There is also the end phenomenon. They are the most brutal and cold-blooded killers and they are very powerful individuals. Their codenames are based on any dangerous phenomena.
Lastly is the beginning group where their names are based on something beautiful. This group's members are unknown and the only ones who knew who are the members in it are the 12 pillar's leaders. They are intelligent and powerful, they can kill a person just with a swipe of a hand or use strategy to torture them indirectly.
'Then--it is already too late... If 'that' organization knew about this matter, they might destroy the organization to eliminate dangers...' Reed closed his eyes and went into deep thinking.

Theo walked forward voluntarily and said, "I'll fight this round..."
Regulus looked into the live stream and saw the new set of equipment of Theo but he definitely recognizes the cloak.
"That is the [Dragon King]--" He said as he averted his gaze into the person beside him.
He walked towards the artificial forest and both of them immediately said, "Initiate Duel!"
[Immobilize or Kill: To win this duel, you must immobilize the enemy by any method or kill the enemy]
Both of them are silent.
They didn't think that if a person can immobilize the enemy, then he/she will win.
'Hmm. I am quite confident in my defense and basically had similar skills from Tyler who's weakness is binding. Plus my resistance is high. I see no problem here...' Theo thought as he used his [Sage Eyes] combined with the [Artificial Sense] and looked into the enemy's information.
[Name: Warren]
[Level: 2,000]
[Class: Nullifier]
'Hoh? It seems like he can nullify the magic of a human... I can still use dragon attacks then...' Theo raised his right hand and immediately cast [Permafrost]
The ice completely covered the whole forest but suddenly, it disappeared in an instant.
[You got in contact with player [Warren]'s skill!]
[You got a passive skill, [Nullifying Hands]]
[You got an affinity for the [Null Element]]
[+1% Null Element Affinity]
'Null element, huh? Interesting...' A large fireball suddenly appeared from afar and it is heading towards Theo.
Theo raised his hands and the fireball just disappeared--just like what he did to his permafrost.
'I'll get more skills from you...' Theo chuckled inwardly as he used a skill similar to [Permafrost]
[Absolute Zero]
Magic is a very complicated subject. There is much magic that is very rare but the skills with [Absolute] in their name are the rarest of them all.
[Absolute] is the magic term for everlasting or eternal. It can't be easily removed by a normal method. If he can even nullify this skill--then it would be a benefit for me.
The ice froze the whole forest once again. We waited for a long time and it seems like he was not immobilized by the [Absolute Zero]
Out of a sudden, the ice shattered into pieces, destroying the whole forest in an instant.
If an [Absolute] ice-type skill was shattered on a certain object, that object will be destroyed.
[You got in contact with player [Warren]'s skill!]
[You got an active skill [Charged Nullification]]
[You got an active skill [Absolute Nullification]]
'It seems like he has the counter skill for my [Absolute Zero]... He also had an [Absolute Magic], I thank you from the bottom of my heart...' He smirked and as the trees fall down and when his enemy is in his line of vision, he immediately used a skill.
[Dream Dragon's Petrifying Eye]
He looked into the eyes of his enemies with his glowing red dragon eye which made Warren a little bit scared.
Before he noticed it, his hand became a stone...
'What?![ Nullification Hand] didn't work?! This is not normal magic!' He said as his body started to become heavy.
His legs started to change to stone and it is spreading through his face.
[Status: Petrified (Time: 5:00)]
[Player [Warren] got petrified!]
[Winner: [Ice Prince]]
[Grade: Perfect]
[Rewards will be given shortly.]
Regulus is silent and shocked. Not just him--but all of the people who expected things from Warren.
Warren is known as the [Mage Killer] that kills any mage he fights. His nullifying skills are making him powerful against magic skills.
All people are kind of disappointed with the so-called [Mage Killer] that it didn't even make the [Dragon King] or the [Ice Prince] have a hard time fighting him.
Earlier before the start of the duel, he announced that he can defeat [Ice Prince] but now--it is proven that he just fantasized about killing or defeating the famous [Dragon King]
Theo placed his hand on Warren's forehead and immediately nullified the petrification using the [Null] and [Dragon] elements combined.
After breaking him back to his normal state, he also raised his hands to use another magic.
[Plain Creation]
Plant magic that is similar to the [Forest Creation] but improvised by Theo. Fiona is impressed that he can create insane improvision of her magic.
The trees that fallen down, and the stones completely disappeared and just leave a normal grassy plain, just like the original plain.
The fairies who are spectating are also thankful for what he did but they can't go out of the forest due to the fact that there are too many humans on the plain.
The chief of the fairy sensed a little bit of familiarity with Theo's aura from afar.
'His aura--why is it merged with another god's aura?' He said as he focused his gaze on Theo who is walking back to his group.
'I must meet him once again--they exactly look the same!' The chief happily went back deep inside the forest and did something to their houses.
Theo is very happy now that he got another weird but powerful skill from an enemy. He is just continuously smiling which made everyone a little bit uncomfortable...
Theo opened his stats once again and looked into his full status.

'Now, I can kill a god now! I am also confident that Blake, Xavier, Chase, and Shawn could kill one too.' He said as he stared at them, revealing their insane stats.
He never looked up to himself and he is always thinking that he still can't kill a god despite his power can already kill one.
He closed his eyes and said, 'At first, Raijin might be strong for me but not anymore. Even Chase alone could kill that god even he is only at level 1,000. They are f***ing blessed by the gods like me after all...'
They are blessed by the three gods during the beta test and only the twelve kings know about it.
