Chapter 1584. A different group of Reinforcements

On Jack's side, there were only his clones, Therras, and Good Ja.n.u.s. The five of them watched the enemies with apprehension.

Jack couldn't tell for sure, but it seemed like the dragon was grinning.

Tiemezzys said to Evil Ja.n.u.s who was standing up, "Hehe. When I agreed to your condition, I never expected it would be to help you against the object of our deal."

Evil Ja.n.u.s didn't respond. He took out a potion and drank it. His HP started recovering. Jack and the others didn't dare do anything to prevent it with Tiemezzys right next to Evil Ja.n.u.s.

Although things looked to be in Evil Ja.n.u.s' favor, he didn't look happy. On the other hand, his expression showed that he was trying to hide his fury. He stared at Jack menacingly with his one blood-red eye.

"Grrrhh… You truly have made me very angry, Mister Storm Wind," Evil Ja.n.u.s growled. "You've forced me to let go of the chance to extract that Time Sage from you."

"Do you know what he means?" Jack asked Good Ja.n.u.s.

Good Ja.n.u.s shook his head. "Whatever deal my evil twin made with Tiemezzys, he made it after he separated from me."

"More correctly, we made the deal three days ago," Tiemezzys said with a grin.

Both Evil Ja.n.u.s and Tiemezzy just stood there without making any move. Young Ja.n.u.ses were the same. They stopped attacking a while ago and just surrounded Jack and the others.

Jack's two clones were both back to human form. The beast form skill had ended. The Strength of Hope was still in effect, but with the current situation, it didn't seem like it would make any difference. Maybe that's why Evil Ja.n.u.s and Tiemezzys just watched them with playful stares.

"Three days ago? That's when I was captured," Jack said.

"Yes. After I found out that you suspected me and even laid a trap for me, I need to prepare for contingency," Evil Ja.n.u.s said. "So, I visited Tiemezzys. I have known about his grudge against you. He had gone into seclusion and never did anything because he thought you were still under the protection of G.o.ddess Serenity. I knew that it was no longer so since the aftermath of the Hydrurond War."

"If I had known, I would have taken action then," Tiemezzys growled.

"So, after you fell in my hand, I went to meet Tiemezzys. I only need the essence from a few more faction leaders. He promised to come to my aid if I encountered any complications. In exchange, I will give you to him. This exchange is supposed to happen only after I extract your Time Sage cla.s.s."

"Hehe, imagine my surprise when I see who he needs help against after coming here," Tiemezzys chuckled. He then said to Evil Ja.n.u.s with scorn," I can't believe you are having trouble against a weakling such as him."

"It's all because of that artifact," Evil Ja.n.u.s pointed at the Chalice of Blood on the floor.

"The Chalice of Blood…? Hm, whatever. Is this s.p.a.ce secured for the outworlder's rebirth cycle?" Tiemezzys asked.

"Yes, he will revive here if he is killed," Evil Ja.n.u.s confirmed.

Tiemezzys stared at Jack menacingly. "Then, it is time for me to enact vengeance for Themos!"

The dragon was just about to lunge forward, but a loud boom was suddenly heard. The sound startled everyone.

Jack also felt the ground shake. A second boom was heard. Jack realized then it was not the ground that shook. It was the entire s.p.a.ce that seemed to have shuddered.

A third boom and this time, a ray of light was seen from above. Everyone looked up and saw the void above had cracked. From this crack, that ray of light shone through. Another boom and the crack became bigger. Several figures dropped from that crack.

When they landed, everyone saw that it was a group of armored and cloaked people. Leading this group were two people. One was a draconian with an eye patch. He wore white plate armor and carried a humongous greatsword on his back. The other one was a cloaked ethereal.

Good Ja.n.u.s recognized the two leading figures. "Master Ragorth? Master Hashi?" He called.

Jack had never met the two but he knew their names. Ragorth was the faction leader of the League of Champions while Hashi was the top native a.s.sa.s.sin in the a.s.sa.s.sins guild.

Ragorth and Hashi looked around the place with bewilderment. While everyone inside this s.p.a.ce was flabbergasted by the appearance of this new group, Ragorth and Hashi's expressions showed that they were also clueless about what was going on there.

"Master Ja.n.u.s? King Storm Wind? What exactly happens here…?" Ragorth asked.

Before Good Ja.n.u.s could reply, Jack beat him to it. He spoke while pointing at Evil Ja.n.u.s, "Master Ragorth! Master Hashi! This creature is an evil spirit that possesses Master Ja.n.u.s' clones. He is the culprit in the a.s.sa.s.sination of league faction leaders!"

"He is?" Hashi asked. His eyes narrowed at Evil Ja.n.u.s.

Evil Ja.n.u.s' appearance at the moment didn't resemble a human. His body was shrouded by dark smoke and he had only one large eye on his head that emitted dark red light.

"Eyewitnesses mentioned a blurry creature as the perpetrator. That shadowy monster does look blurry," Ragorth said.

"So… That girl spoke the truth. The murderer is truly here," Hashi said. He brandished two large curved daggers. A translucent green aura coated the two daggers. "I'm going to avenge my leader's death."

Evil Ja.n.u.s didn't bother to explain. There was nothing to explain anyway, he was truly the faction leaders' murderer. He was curious about how these two managed to locate and even intrude into this pocket s.p.a.ce, but finding the answer to that question would have to wait. He had to deal with the problem at hand first.

He was going to target Ragorth sooner or later, considering Ragorth was one of the strongest faction leaders. Now that Ragorth was here, might as well make use of the situation.

"Tiemezzys, deal with those two!" Evil Ja.n.u.s commanded.

"Deal with them yourself! My quarrel is with this outworlder," Tiemezzys replied.

"Remember our deal!" Evil Ja.n.u.s exclaimed. "I will capture the outworlder. He will be yours!"

Considering the payment for their deal was Jack, Tiemezzys could just take Jack now. He didn't need to obey Evil Ja.n.u.s. But despite his vengeance-fueled rage, he was still a true dragon. He had his dignity. A deal had been struck. He had to honor it. He grunted and headed toward Ragorth and Hashi.
