The Imperial Envoy members were soon decided, being the first squad of the First Special Unit, the Second Special unit, also known as me, and finally the Emperor who insisted on coming.
Klay was tasked to stay in case any emergency happened and use the Imperial Protection formation with the help of the Imperial Protection unit if another drastically grave danger took place…
`~~`~~`~~`
2 days later, we set off in carriages lead by Lightning horses, the expected time of the journey was about 5~7 hours…
Of course, if we were to take this journey using Ellona's 'Cloud Travel' or me going on my own using "Hurricane steps', we would only need about half of that time to arrive there.
However, at this point, even I couldn't confirm that the Light Empire was indeed under the control of the now most likely fully corrupted Light Association or not, so it was only right to go as an imperial envoy asking for a cultural exchange tour to check the actual situation…
In case the old branch head's expectations turned out to be untrue, we would just have to collaborate with the Light Empire to purge that 'Tumor' Association instead.
With such thoughts, I was in full alert mode to make sure nothing escapes my notice once we reached there…
`~~`~~`~~`
"Oho, The Lightning Emperor himself has come to visit us, of course I would come out to welcome you."
"You shouldn't have, it's just a visit to deepen our relationship and try a change of scenery for once, nothing much."
As soon as we arrived and passed the gate of the Light Capital, we were actually greeted by the Light Emperor himself, which made this a very strange situation where both Emperors left their palace and behaved differently.
"Hahaha, no worries, I wanted to guide this tour myself, after all not only the Lightning Emperor is here our dear subject has also came back for a visit, hahaha, this way."
Although the actual relationship between both empires was full of tension, both emperors behaved as if they were old friends who met once again, this strange situation could only be described as normal if you looked at from a political point of view…
'I hate politics…'
Having no choice but to witness such exchanges as well all day, the tour soon came to an end without any strange thing happening, as we finally arrived at the last point of the tour program, an Imperial dinner in the Light Palace.
"So, how was the 'Cultural Exchange', was it to your taste?"
"Of course, I wasn't expecting such a great 'Tour', I feel bad that I would have to leave so soon."
"You flatter me, you don't really have to leave though, you can choose to join us, in fact I can't let you leave."
Suddenly the atmosphere of the dinner hall tensed as I could smell the filthy stench of corruption filling the hall…
"I'm sorry, your majesty, they had kidnapped my grandchild… although everything I have said was true, I just can't let them kill my only grandchild…"
The branch head almost fell from his chair as he seemed to be in deep agony, the surrounding soon was filled corrupted dark cloud as we could finally see that other than our envoy team, the rest of the dinner members were just corruption puppets…
"Sigh… I'm somewhat disappointed that you chose the well-being of your family instead of that of the whole domain, but I wouldn't really blame you now…"
The Emperor spoke in a calm voice as he seemed to be unshaken by what happened just now, seemingly just chatting with the branch head…
"Are you so calm because you already resolved to die here, you really don't have to, just join us, and we will grant you your same position, you just have to swear allegiance to our Holy Demon Emperor."
"Was that the same thing you said to the fool you are possessing? Or did you use another method? Well, that doesn't really matter… for some reason, either you are overestimating your crappy disguise or underestimating our intelligence, which you will pay dearly for."
"Oh? Did you finally lose it?"
"You really didn't think I noticed something was wrong when I entered through that gate? Not to mention that I have this outstanding nephew who already caught scent of it even before I did…"
"Enough of your stalling! Activate the Holy Awakening Formation!"
Suddenly, the pillars of the hall started shining in dark light as I was reminded by the 'Sacred rooms' which seemed to be a mini version compared to this one.
"We can also do it that way..."
A simple spark of lightning lit up before the hand of uncle blue, before it split into 8 fragments reaching for the hall's pillars, fully encasing the dark pillars.
"That only makes it easier."
The pillars turned blue similar to the color of lightning that just hit them.
'My turn.'
Releasing my mental energy, I used my 'Telekinesis' to destroy the formation runes in the pillars, stopping their function of automatic elemental release.
"What?"
This was the plan that I put with uncle blue using 'Mental Transmission' to communicate, as I had already informed him about the nature of these pillars once we entered the hall, as a 3rd stage expert, it didn't take that much effort from him to use 'Elemental severing' on the pillars before I had to work my magic, thus foiling their simple plan.
"I don't know how you stopped the holy formation, but so what, you are still trapped within our lair."
Although, the gigantic illusion formation that they used to mask the whole capital was almost perfect, the fact that I could easily check the status of some citizens easily proved our assumptions correct once we felt something was wrong.
"Is that so?"
A soldier wearing blue armour suddenly rushed into the dinner hall...
"Your majesty, we have already taken control of the whole capital and confined the citizens under demonic influence, we await your orders!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
