Aries deactivated his sword physique . He noticed an issue with his sword body and that is his physique is a energy drainer . The amount of energy required to keep it activated during combat was enormous . If Aries were to have the energy reserve of an Upper Rank 1 expert , he would struggle to maintain it for even a minutes .
Fortunately , his energy reserves are infinite and he doesn't need to worry about his energy to run out . Energy reserves are an important factor in the world . As your rank increases , your energy reserves increases as well and you can maintain your form for more amount of time .
His infinite energy reserves will eventually make him invincible in the battlefield when his rank is atleast Rank 6 . He could continue to fight in his peak condition unusually longer than anyone . This is the benefits he received from having the system .
As he was thinking such things , he immediately sensed some presences and noise . It was the noise of car engines . He smiled when he heard them .
'That silly girl'
'I told her to return back'
'But it seemed that she was much more stubborn than she expected'
The cars eventually came into view . In the front was his car which he used to send Aurelia back . Behind her were four vehicles . Two of them were from the Rainhafer family and two from his own family . They came and stopped in front of him .
The gates immediately opened as a figure rushed from the direction of his car and lunged on him . Aries was unable to see the person but when she collided with him , he saw her . Aurelia was hugging him tightly refusing to let go .
Aries didn't resist . He just savoured the feeling . In his past life , after losing his family , he was alone . No family , no friends , no one to mourn him or show him sympathy . He eventually lost the feeling of being loved , being hugged . When Aurelia hugged him , he eventually felt a long lost feeling and didn't want to forget it .
He looked forward . Four people got down from the two vehicles . Two of them wore black battle suit and the other two wore purple battle suit . These were the members of the Voidhaven Army and Rainhafer Army .
Each and every one of the ducal families have their own personal armies named after the family name . These armies are responsible for the defense of human territory against the demons and other races . The five ducal families have their own battalion and a defense zone at the frontlines .
The maximum experts were stationed at the frontlines . The people stationed at the family towers were also part of these armies and are provided as extra backup whenever necessary .
The two wearing black battle suit came towards Aries and stood in an attention position . They said :
"Voidhaven Army , Unit 8 , Kruger"
"Voidhaven Army , Unit 8 , Daniel"
Aries slowly nodded his head . The one with a bulky build and an powerful aura named Kruger said :
"Young Master , we were sent to retreive you back"
"Were only two of you sent ?" Aries asked with an indifferent expression .
"Y..Yes" Kruger stuttered while replying . His voice cannot hide the shock inside him .
"Lies . When did people of the Voidhaven Army started lying ?" Aries asked .
"W..We don't know w..what you are talking about , Young Master" Kruger replied .
Aries just shook his head . He called out in his cold voice :
"Come down . Your aura is far to oppressive to not notice , Elena"
"As expected of you , Young Master"
The door of the Voidhaven family vehicle opened again as a beautiful lady came down . Her beauty was on par with Aurelia who had , in the meantime , released her hold over Aries and stood beside him . Her hair was striking blonde with green emerald eyes . Her aura was stronger than both Kruger and Daniel combined .
She was the commander of the Voidhaven Army , Unit 1 and the second strongest fighter in the army after the chief . She was 'Elena Silva' .
She was a Rank 9 expert and has awakened the 'Fire type S-level talent : Crimson Sun' . She was a fierce fighter who uses her master-level swordmanship and her talent to the full potential in the battlefield . She had earned the nickname 'Flame Empress' in the battlefield itself .
"It's nice to see you again , Young Master" said Elena .
"Nice to see you too , Elena" replied Aries with a grin on his face . "I must say, I didn't expected you to come personally" said Aries with his usual look .
"You knew people would come ?" asked Aurelia with a bit of surprise .
"Aurelia , you should know that much when it's obvious . I would have been surprised if no one came"
"Hmph , you made me worry for nothing" complained Aurelia .
Aries just smiled but didn't say anything . His eyes looked towards Elena once more before saying .
"Anyways , what are you even doing here ?"
"The patriarch has headed to the battlefield" Elena replied with a serious expression .
Aries's smile dissipated when he heard that . You must know , Aries's father Argent is a Peak Rank 10 expert . A single blow from him is enough to slaughter millions of people . Whenever someone above Rank 9 takes action in the battlefield , it can only be one of two reasons :
→ Either three or more Rank 9 experts are on the enemy side .
→ Or a Rank 10 being has taken stage in the battlefield .
"Who has appeared ?" asked Aries in a serious tone .
"Beezelbub" replied Elena .
"Alone ?"
"No , brought his army along"
Aries just nodded his head in understanding .
"Who was after you ?" asked Aurelia .
"Ao from the Celestials" replied Aries .
"A Celestial ?" asked Elena .
"Yes . I don't know how he crossed the defense mechanism but it's true"
"Do you think it's connected ?" asked Elena .
"The attack of demons and the infiltration of a Celestial ?" asked Aries .
"Yes"
"Don't know but I won't call it a simple coincidence either"
"Do you think that the Celestials collided with the Demons ?"
"No proof . We can't have baseless accusitions"
"Then , let's head to the family estate . Lady Evelyn is waiting"
"Okay" said Aries as he forwarded . But , before returning , he looked towards Aurelia once more and said in an apologetic tone :
"Sorry , the date got ruined"
"No worries" said Aurelia " Let's go once we have another time "
"Okay"
Aurelia headed towards the Rainhafer Vehicles with the other guards while the ones from the Voidhaven family headed towards their own vehicles . Aries had already collected the corpse of Ao and thus he headed towards his car as well .
He opened his car door and looked towards the sky before entering his car :
"This world is messed up"
