The World Serpent

Chapter 203 - 203-The Secret Backers Of The Clan Of Noir



After the meeting between the Supremes and the Clan of Noir in their clan hall, rumors about the meeting had been spreading within the flying continent under the Clan of Noir\'s control. The rumors surrounding them were quite hard to believe. It spoke about the supremes being the secret backers of the Clan of Noir. No ancient clans had secret backers as they typically stood at the peak of the world. But if the Clan of Noir had backers, wouldn\'t that mean there was a faction stronger than them and any of the ancient clans?

The Pride of the Ancient Clan was hard to terminate. An Ancient Clan wouldn\'t want a neighboring Ancient Clan to be its backer. Such a simple fact would only mean one thing, a new faction arose, and it was a faction that could rival the ancient clans or were even above it. But such were the following things that echoed within the rumors of the secret backers. Never did they know that the secret backers of the Clan of Noir were having their own leisure time in the Library of Noir. 

Within the Clan of Noir, in the library that had books centuries or millenniums ago. Three ladies were reading through the books at a fast pace. They were the three supremes or the three mythical daemons of the Realm of Piksyon. Before going to a battle, they needed to gather more information about their enemies rather than charging without any restrictions. As much as Persia wanted to sink this world, she wouldn\'t be able to do it as the ones that invaded the Realm of Piksyon were simply one of the seven ancient clans. 

"This world is bigger than I had imagined. With 12 flying continents levitating above the void, only 7 of them were controlled by the ancient clans. The remaining continents were forsaken lands full of unidentifiable monsters. This is a good hunting spot for me." A smile slowly formed on Persia\'s face while thinking about her future meal. 

"It appears that we can\'t underestimate them. This world has its mysteries like the Realm of Piksyon. Even though it is small in size, the World of Exterreri might have some treasures beyond the things we have seen in this world." For some reason, Statera\'s eyes were glinting like gold. Did she like ancient treasures for the old times?

"Not only that, but according to the history book, I am reading. Their world is full of life and intelligence. They described their world as the strong devour the weak. Even with their standing civilizations, their inner society is still back in the hunter and the hunted mindset. Though, it didn\'t end there." 

"No matter how much I dug through their history. I haven\'t heard anything about a World Administrator. The World of Exterreri is like the Realm of Piksyon, A World without an administrator. This might be the reason why the ancient clans could invade neighboring foreign worlds without any problems."

Drya said with excitement plastered on her face. That was a good explanation, though, with or without the World Administrator. It wouldn\'t stop the mythical daemons from doing what they planned to do. 

"Intriguing, It appears that sinking their world is not simple as it looks. I doubt that I would have enough power to do such things. Since I can\'t sink their world, I can simply capture every bastard in the ancient clans and devour them for myself." As expected, Persia had a new plan in mind.

It didn\'t even take a while for her to instantly change her destructive plans. Drya and Statera sighed upon hearing Persia\'s words. Well, that was something they would expect from their Chaotic Junior. Even Kitsune wasn\'t this bad during her younger years. After reading through their history, Drya closed the book and thought about it contents for a while. 

\'Hmm... The Clan of Noir mainly consisted of a species known as Umbra. They are like shadows or dark figures that could easily manipulate the element of darkness. They can do a lot of things and were mainly known for their intelligence agency and their assassination jobs. This is a good place to start.\' Drya had numerous thoughts passing through her mind, and it ended with a good conclusion. 

"Senior Statera and Junior Persia, what do you think of conquering this world for ours? The Realm of Piksyon has been fighting tons of Great Wars, which is tantamount to World Civil Wars. I think it is time for us to unite and try contacting those outsides. If we continue in our current state, a cunning race might be able to split us apart and conquer the Realm of Piksyon." Drya had her own opinion about how they would handle the World of Exterreri.

"If we can conquer this world, we might also be the foreign worlds they had captured. Why don\'t we wait until they capture more worlds before trying to conquer them? After all, conquering them now would be useless under the current state of our Realm. We would also have to finish the Great War in our Realm. It appears that in the future, Great Rulers are about to fight against each other personally." 

Statera said with a serious voice. What she had said was correct. The moment Great Rulers personally fight against each other. The supercontinent in the Realm of Piksyon would be sunk under its vast ocean. No one would want such a thing to happen, though the dead wouldn\'t care about who lives or not.

"I have fought Great Rulers in the Endless Grasslands. Although they were weaker than normal, they were still Great Rulers. I had to destroy bits of the continental region to successfully terminate them. It didn\'t take that much power, and I pretty much repaired the region after the destruction I had caused. The secret was a fast and swift kill so that damage could be only controlled by you."

"Mythical Daemons wouldn\'t have a hard time killing the Great Rulers, but I can\'t say the same to the Mythical Daemons in the foreign continental Regions. The Great Ruler of the Devil, The Great Ruler of the Dragons, and the Great Ruler of Darkness. There is even a race that disappeared from existence, such as the angels. I expected them to interfere with the Great War, but nothing happened, concluding that something happened to them."

Persia had her own opinions about the problem. She had thought about the angels long before and placed them at the back of her mind after as there was no need to think that much about them. The Great Forest didn\'t have allies outside of their continental region, which was a bit of a disappointment. Some would wonder what the Great Rulers of the Five Supreme Nations were doing during that span of time. 

"I believe that there is nothing we can do about it for now. We should at least take care of the problems in this world before taking another problem. Exterminating the Clan of Monstre should be enough to hide the existence of the Realm of Piksyon. Even if all of them knew of our existence, I doubt that they would be able to do anything about it." Statera said with a calm voice.

"I am with Statera. Conquering the World of Exterreri would be a hassle. Even managing the occidental region already takes a lot of my time. I wouldn\'t want for something as big as the Arcanum Region to get conquered and managed. I mean, who wants more work to handle?" Persia\'s reasoning was about herself handling too much work. She wasn\'t a workaholic, so she didn\'t take pleasure in working.

"Well, then. Let us take care of the Clan of Monstre first." Drya sighed and said with her serene voice. With that, the three supremes had finally seen their path and were about to pave the way towards it. 

Meanwhile, in a room within the Clan of Noir, a group of young Umbras was gathering together. They were supposedly the future generation of the Clan of Noir. They were the Hailed geniuses of Umbra. While gathering together, they had heard a lot of things about a secret backer. Even the Lord of Noir and Zella, the Cold Guardian, respected them, the so-called secret backer. 

"Keres, have you heard about the secret backers? From what my Father said, there were three of them. Each of them could rival the Lord of Noir in terms of power. My Father also talked about how an alliance between the Clan of Noir and them would be beneficial for our future." A lady-like and soft voice echoed within the group. 

"I do wonder where they came from. It appears that none of them care from the Ancient Clans, which would mean that they come from the foreign worlds beyond our world. For such a world to produce three people that could rival the clan lords. I wonder what kind of World it was." A cold yet curious voice echoed. 

"There is no need to worry about them. Just like the foreign worlds, we would conquer them without any problems. If we could conquer them, we can produce people that rival the power of my Father!?" Keres shouted with an arrogant tone. She expected her friends to cheer for her though unfortunately, her friends were the children of the highest umbras in the clans. They were dumb and knew a lot of things about diplomacy.

"I disagree, Keres. They can destroy the Clan of Noir on their own without any problems. I doubt we would be able to do anything against them. It appears that the diplomatic mission towards the ancient clans caused your brain to crumble. We might be friends, but your arrogance might cause our clan. I hope you shut up and don\'t speak any ill-will to the secret backers." 

A serious and stern voice sounded.. With that, Keres found herself facing a reality that might happened without the title of future lord.
