Third Person POV
Orario.
...
...
Lucius arrived at his family's home and entered. Hestia was safe and sound after Bell and Aiz had rescued her.
"Lucius, you were with that daughter of that Loki, weren't you!? She annoyed me the whole time!" Hestia shouted at Lucius, and he just shrugged.
He turned his attention to the rest of the family, all of whom were in the living room doing their own activities. After Lucius talked with some members about everyday things of no great importance, he returned to his room.
"I think it's time for me to start taking action..." Lucius commented, lying down on the bed to plan what he would do, it was time for him to act.
However, something happened at that moment, he felt the tiles above his room shake and with the life detection spell, he saw someone above the house, with a quick teleport, he saw who the person was as soon as he appeared in front of her, ready to fight the intruder if necessary.
"So you finally accepted my proposal, Ryuu Lion?" Lucius said, with a slightly satisfied smile.
"Yes, if you're going to hunt evilus, then I want to join, but I have to talk to my goddess, about me joining another family after this." Ryuu commented, she was wearing an outfit like the one she wore in the war game.
"I think that's fair..." Lucius commented, understanding the girl's situation, but knew she could join the Hestia family if her condition was to talk to the goddess who still owns her allegiance.
"I was already thinking of acting tonight, are you available to hunt some families?" Lucius asked with a small smile.
"Yes, Mama mia gave me the night off." Ryuu nodded indifferently.
Lucius opened his dimensional space and took out a bed with a cover, placing it and giving way to his magi king cloak for a dark cape while activating an illusion to disguise his voice and identity.
"From this moment on, I am Lord Sith, remember that." Lucius commented and Ryuu nodded.
"Let's start our search, first we need to see the underworld of Orario and find Evilus activity in this place." Lucius commented and they began to fly with Lucius's magic, Lucius was going to a place he hadn't been to in a year, the black market of Orario.
Ryuu didn't seem surprised as they flew by Lucius's magic inside a time ball, Lucius didn't restrict her, so they flew over Orario until they went to the southern part of the city.
After landing on top of the buildings, they were in a different zone from the rest of the city, here streets were filled with illegal trade, magic stones, stolen weapons, drugs, slavery, artifacts, everything was sold here, even services like heavier prostitution and murders were sought-after services here.
To enter this place, one had to go through a door and identify oneself with a fee to enter, but Lucius and Ryuu were bypassing this while jumping into the place, both using disguises, but this was not uncommon here, since many influential people of the city sought services offered here.
Lucius and Ryuu entered the crowd following through the place where they were approached by various products, one in particular caught Lucius's attention.
"Look at this amulet! It's the same as the magi king wears, do you think his great magic capacity has no secret? See the secret of the Magi King and become invincible magicians too!" The seller spoke, lifting a simple amulet.
"Tsk... What nonsense." Lucius wanted to laugh when he heard that.
"..." Ryuu said nothing and continued on the way.
They continued through the crowd and finally found what Lucius wanted.
"You seem to know this place." Ryuu couldn't help commenting.
"It's true, in the first year in Orario, I came here many times to know about any movement of my family, hoping they wouldn't look for me in Orario." Lucius commented as they continued to a Pub with red lights.
They entered quietly, there were some prostitutes entertaining clients and some other men chatting while drinking, most stopped as soon as they saw the two cloaked figures enter the place and calmly walk towards the owner on the other side.
"How can I assist…" The innkeeper looked at them warily as he asked, there were many adventurers in this place to protect it, but these two people were clearly something he couldn't easily handle, not with the feelings they were giving him at that moment.
"I want some information…" Lucius started, "First, I need to know where the Horus, Osiris, Isis, Ra, and Anubis families are located." He said calmly, making the man look at him in surprise.
"You can't be serious…" The man spoke, stunned.
"I am, I know the Egyptian alliance that these gods have among themselves and they are outside Orario manipulating many things, I know they finance Evilus." Lucius commented with a grim look behind his disguise.
Ryuu looked surprised at Lucius at that moment, having never heard anything like that.
"I don't know what you're cracking…" The man spoke cautiously.
"Are you sure, or have you never heard of Neteru Netjer Isfet? Which I find quite hard to believe…" Lucius smiled.
"Are you insane?!" The innkeeper looked at him and exclaimed. "You can't say that name! You want to kill us all. Get out of here now, if you want any information, the Thanatos Familia will hunt you down immediately just for mentioning that name!" The man exclaimed furiously.
"Alright… we're leaving…" Lucius commented and turned to Ryuu before leaving the place.
As soon as they left the pub, Lucius didn't stop and continued forward, passing through the black market, there were various slaves on display in this street, but Lucius didn't care about it and moved on, until he found an alley.
In this alley, there was a gang standing talking to one another, they noticed Lucius approaching with Ryuu following him.
"Hm?! Who are you, why are you invading our alley dressed up?" A demi-human spoke and growled at Lucius.
Lucius just pointed his hand at him and cast a lightning bolt at the demi-human, making the man fly backwards before colliding with the wall behind him and all the other gangsters were scared by that.
"Leave immediately and take your friend, I want some peace and no one should bother me for the rest of the night." Lucius said with his voice distorted and waited for them to pick up their friend's body before running off saying there was a crazy mage attacking them.
"You're acting quite aggressive…" Ryuu couldn't help but comment, joining his side.
"We are in the black market, we should have no mercy on these people." Lucius shrugged.
"So… are you going to tell me about this group? What do you mean by them financing Evilus in Orario?" She asked almost demanding it from him.
Lucius sighed, he had to reveal what he knew. He looked at Ryuu, "Ryuu, what I'm about to tell you is something I've uncovered over the years, and it's a truth that carries with it great danger. Yes, there is a group, not just any group, but a consortium of ancient gods and powerful Families that only a few people are aware of, known among a few as 'Neteru Netjer Isfet'. They are powerful entities that, throughout history, have remained in the shadows, manipulating events and people to achieve their dark objectives and profiting from the chaos they create." He commented in a serious tone.
Lucius paused, allowing Ryuu to absorb the information before continuing.
"These gods seek to reclaim their arcane, a source of immense power that only gods can wield in the other world. I'm not sure, but they plan a ritual to release it and the key seems to be to take down the Tower of Babel. By destroying the tower, they intend to unleash such chaos that would allow them to reign supreme over the mortal world with all their powers without limitations."
"I saw their records in my family's library, when I mentioned it to my father, he wanted to kill me, saying I would be banished if I spoke of that group again. In fact, that didn't make me forget the matter and I ended up delving deeper, then finding out how it was a macabre group, they are hidden for some reason, and it wasn't hard to see that after the Hera and Zeus families fell, they saw an opportunity to perform a strange ritual, and as I mentioned, they intend to bring down that tower." Lucius pointed towards the Tower of Babel.
"So, they were the ones funding Evilus..." Ryuu commented with hatred in her tone.
"I didn't think you could fight them, I never wanted to talk about them because I was never strong enough, and I still am not. But that doesn't mean I can't investigate them better now," Lucius commented.
"Are you going after them through Evilus?" She asked with a bit more curiosity.
"Yes, this world is a mess, Ryuu. There's Evilus, the black dragon, groups like Neteru Netjer Isfet, and some gods who, even without their full arcane or being in a group, are so powerful they could wipe cities and kingdoms off the map," he commented in the alley while people still passed by on the street.
"And you..."
"Yes, I plan to at least take them down or some of them before leaving this world, someone needs to clean up this mess, that's why I want to strengthen the Hestia Familia, having a powerful enough group, we can fight against these forces. That's why I want you to join the family as well, since your strength is needed for this," Lucius spoke sincerely.
"I understand... but why did you mention that in that bar and why are we standing here, in this alley?" Ryuu questioned.
Lucius smiled when he heard this. "I did all that on purpose, mentioning the group's name will make many people set their sights on us and we would be hunted shortly after, moreover, the Thanatos Familia is on us at this very moment..." Lucius smiled at that, since the Thanatos Familia was a family of assassins and they would hunt them as soon as they spoke about an organization even more powerful than Evilus.
The assassins themselves were surprised by Lucius's words, since they expected to catch the two off guard, now they had to act while Lucius and Ryuu were already ready for the confrontation.
