Chapter 354: Pressure

A few hours after Angus forces the Temple of Death, the high priest of Temple of Death and Priest Saya, along with a few of their strongest warriors, gather in the capital city to meet and negotiate with the Heart Kingdom side.

Because of sudden notice, they could only gather their strongest people in the nearby capital city. Still, they managed to gather two full-fledged sixth-grade combatants to come to the meeting. 

Unlike the other religious organizations that use the power of God through their sacred maiden to make their believer their champion and instantly reach sixth Grade, the Temple of Death couldn't use this method since they don't have a sacred maiden.

However, with their vast network, influence, and resources, they still managed to nurture some sixth-grade combatants. Unfortunately, this force is scattered throughout the world. In the Heart Kingdom, they only have three sixth-grade combatant standby.

Because of the time constraint Angus gave them, they could only gather two of them while the other one was too far away to reach them in time. 

Arriving at the meeting hall, the Heart kingdom soldier couldn't help but hold their breath as the two sixth-grade combatants from the Temple of God entered the room.

Since they came to the area, both of them were released and didn't hide their aura. This made the guard nearby couldn't even stand properly. This is the power of an actual full-fledged sixth-grade combatant. Just one of them has the power to obliterate an entire city completely.

Entering the room, they could see two people already in the room beside the nearby soldier. The first one is a famous human female negotiator from the Heart Kingdom called Bertha. Recently, she managed to get some achievement by striking some deals with the nearby kingdom.

Because of the tension between the kingdoms, it is very hard to make deals and contract with the nearby kingdom. However, the nearby kingdom couldn't just completely cut their ties with the Heart Kingdom. They still need them, especially in the business sector.

Still, most of the negotiation and diplomatic acts launched by the Heart Kingdom failed. But, few of them are also successful because of their brilliant negotiator. Among the Heart Kingdom's negotiators, Bertha could be said to be one of the best.

With their vast network and influence, the Temple of Death also knows the achievement of Bertha.

'It seems King Leon really put importance to this meeting.' thought Priest Saya before looking at the other person in the room.

The person is none other than the famous Duke Jacob himself. The one hailed as the Duke Fire Dragon and the youngest human that can reach sixth grade. Although Duke Jacob could be categorized as a new sixth-grade combatant, his power is also real.

For Priest Saya, who witnessed this man's prowess during the monster overlord incident, she couldn't help but respect and fear the man at the same time. She still remembers how Jacob used the Flash Fire spell to decimate hundreds of thousands of undead monsters to ash at once.

"Welcome, please have a seat. It is an honor to meet Master Eli and Master Hocus, the protector of the Temple of Death. I assume you must be High Priest Cretin and the famous Priest Saya that often heard about." called Bertha.

"I am not as famous as you said. I am just a humble servant of our beloved God." replied Saya while the others stayed silent.

Before coming here, the Temple of Death agreed to let Saya be the one that negotiated with the other party.

At this moment, the two sixth-grade combatants from the Temple of Death begin to pressurize Bertha and Jacob using their aura.

Jacob does not sit idle either and releases his aura to counterattack them. Still, he could only defend himself and Bertha as the only sixth grade in this room. The room atmosphere becomes more intense as Bertha, who is only a third-grade combatant, starts having cold sweat.

Yet the High Priest Cretin and Priest Saya only look at the situation silently as it is a normal occurrence. 

In Firuman, this small intimidation to gain the upper hand before the negotiation begins is normal. Still, things could also go wrong and there will be a fight between the two sides at once.

After a while, "Ermm… Ladies and gentlemen, why don't we begin the meeting and let's not waste any more time?" said Bertha as she got more uncomfortable with the pressure she got.

Hearing this, both Eli and Hocus couldn't help but smile as if they were winning on their little clash before retracting their aura. However, they find something wrong with Jacob's expression, which is still having a calm smile from the start of their clash.

"Wait for a moment, Bertha. We still need to wait for one more person." said Jacob.

"Eh.. who?" asked Bertha.

Suddenly, the entire room becomes hot, like inside the sauna. A moment later, appeared a man with red-colored skin and crimson hair beside Jacob. All the people from the Temple of Death side immediately feel like they are in front of a predator.

Both Eli and Hocus instantly feel like facing an absolute force they never felt before. Compared to the pressure they just released before, this is another whole different level. They didn't even dare to even look at the red-skinned man directly in fear of getting instantly burned alive.

For the first time in their life as the protector of the Temple of Death, they feel an absolute fear. Even the experienced High Priest Cretin had a lot of sweat, not because of the room temperature, but because of the aura he felt from the man in front of him.

Not to mention Priest Saya, who is only a fifth-grade magician. If it is not because of her strong will, she will undoubtedly fall unconscious under this tremendous pressure. She couldn't even breathe since the man showed up in the room.

This red skin man is none other than Jade Victory, the second seventh-grade combatant of the Heart Kingdom. At this moment, Jacob talks casually while keeping the same smile as before.

"You are late, Brother." said Jacob.

Retracting his aura, "Unlike you who is sitting all day in the office, I need to travel a lot." replied Jade casually.

As soon as Jade retracted his aura, the Temple of God side immediately felt released from the execution row.

'So, this is the power of a seventh-grade combatant. We should never mess with them in the first place.' thought Saya inwardly.

"Anyway, it seems Angus never stops creating trouble for us. I wonder how you are able to take care of him all this year." said Jade casually.

"You have no idea, brother. That son of mine is nothing but full of trouble. Sometimes I even envy those people with a normal child." replied Jacob.

"Hahaha… Don't worry, I know how troublesome taking care of a genius son and daughter is. There is even a famous phrase in the Endless Battlefield that only the genius one that attracts trouble." said Jade, completely ignoring the Temple of Death people.

"Really?? Do you have some tips about raising sons?" asked Jacob as if he was in the middle of a family chat and also ignoring the Temple of Death people.

Seeing that the two of them keep continuing to talk themself ignoring them, the High priest couldn't help but get a little bit angry. But, he is also afraid of the red-skinned man in front of him. He couldn't help but signal the Priest Saya with his eye.

"Ehem.. I-It's an honor to meet you, master Jade. H-How about we start the meeting now?" said Priest Saya in a stutter as she had not completely recovered from Jade's aura before.

If it is not because of her strong will and mental fortitude, she is already running away from the room, peeing herself, or entering a panic state.

Even though the pressure is gone, it still leaves a deep impression on her. Just being in the same room with Jade already requires all her strength to stay sane.

"Alright, sure. So, did you agree to Angus's request?" asked Jade directly.

"E-Excuse me??" asked Priest Saya back.

"Did you agree to give us all your healing art, knowledge, and spells?" said Jacob.

"Err.. I-I am sorry about that…" said Priest Saya.

Suddenly, both Jade and Jacob get up from their seats, alerting everyone to their sudden action.

"Alright, then, I will tell His Majesty to start exterminating the Temple of Death." said Jacob.

Hearing this, Priest Saya couldn't help but respond quickly, "W-Wait.. Couldn't we talk over this first?"

"Talk?? Is there anything to talk about?" said Jacob.

"We still could solve this matter peacefully. This is all just a small misunderstanding?" said Priest Saya.

"Oii.. Priest. I still don't know much about the culture of this world. But, in the Endless Battlefield dimension, if you dare to attempt killing a leader child, you should prepare to fight to death cause there will be a whole clan/village hunting you down." said Jade coldly.

"You should be glad that King Leon stopped me from hunting and killing all of you ass-kisser fucker the moment you try to hurt and attempt to kill Jayna.." added Jade.
