In Secret Sky City, on a random road, a large crowd had gathered. Several wolfman guards had surrounded Umbros and Aquira, while citizens stood watching them.
One of the wolfman guards stepped forward and said,
"Who are you?! How did you enter this place?!"
Aquira replied calmly,
"I am Aquira, and this is Umbros. From now on, we will stay here."
The same guard asked again,
"Oh… then show me your permission."
Aquira frowned slightly,
"Permission?"
The guard explained,
"Yes. If you were given permission to stay here, you should have received an official citizen card."
Aquira replied,
"We don't have any card like that, but we do have permission."
The guard narrowed his eyes,
"Then tell me—who gave you permission?"
Meanwhile, Umbros stood silently as Aquira answered,
"We have permission from Lord Precious."
The guard immediately responded,
"We don't know anyone named Precious. Don't lie, or we'll arrest you!"
The guards slowly stepped forward.
The same guard continued,
"Show me your visitor ID."
Aquira replied,
"We don't have any kind of ID."
Now the guard raised his voice angrily,
"What?! You don't have a citizen card, no official permission, and no visitor ID?! That means you're criminals! You came here to cause trouble, right?! We know this—because if any unauthorized being enters the city, the alarm in City Hall rings immediately!"
At that moment, Umbros stepped forward, clearly irritated and angry.
"What nonsense are you low creatures saying?! Do you even know who we are?! Do you know who our master is?!"
As Umbros moved closer, the guard shouted nervously,
"Don't come any closer!"
But Umbros didn't stop.
"Attack!" the guard ordered.
Instantly, all the guards fired thunderbolt attacks from their wands toward Umbros and Aquira. Multiple bolts struck the same spot, causing a small explosion. The civilians panicked and stepped back as smoke filled the air.
After a moment, the smoke cleared…
Umbros and Aquira were completely unharmed.
The guards were shocked.
"What?!"
Suddenly, they noticed Umbros lowering his head. He was furious.
Then he slowly raised his face…
And released his aura.
The pressure was overwhelming. Nearby guards were lifted into the air and thrown back. Citizens screamed and ran away in fear.
The guards caught in the aura trembled in pain.
One of them stuttered,
"A… a demon peer?! W-what is a demon peer doing here?!"
Umbros said in a furious tone,
"You low-life creatures! You dare to stop me?! Do you even know who I am and what I am?! I will kill all of you today!"
But suddenly, Aquira stepped in and stopped him, sounding slightly tense,
"Umbros… dear, you can't kill them! They are citizens of Lord Precious's nation… we can't kill them!"
Umbros snorted angrily,
"People like these have no place in a city created by Lord Precious! They don't even know their own lord! Their guardian! The creator of this city!"
Aquira nodded,
"I know… you're right."
She then glared at the struggling guards and said,
"But still, they are citizens of Lord Precious's city. Forgive these ignorant people who don't know the truth. What will happen if Lord Precious finds out that instead of protecting this place, we're killing its people? Will he like that? Maybe he won't punish us… but will he be happy? Will he forgive himself, knowing he sent us here?"
Umbros went silent for a moment.
Then, with a slight attitude, he said,
"Hmph! Fine. Since you said so—and because they live in Lord Precious's city—I'll spare them today."
He withdrew his aura.
All the guards fell to the ground, still in pain.
Umbros added coldly,
"But if these low-life creatures say even one more word… I will kill them."
The guards immediately covered their mouths with their hands and shook their heads, signaling "no."
Suddenly, 2–3 cars arrived at the scene. The remaining civilians quickly ran away.
Umbros and Aquira looked toward the vehicles.
From the cars, more guards stepped out… along with Gesha.
She walked toward Umbros and Aquira, then bowed respectfully and said:
"Welcome, Lord Aquira… Lord Umbros."
Gesha spoke with calm respect and humility, her voice steady and composed. Umbros responded, but there was a slight edge of irritation in his tone.
"Hm… yeah. By the way, what is your name?" he asked.
Gesha straightened herself and replied politely, "I am Gesha, the head secretary of this nation."
Aquira gave a faint nod, her expression softening slightly. "Oh, so you are Gesha…"
Gesha stood properly, facing Aquira with formal respect. "Yes, Lord Aquira. Please come with me. I will take you to where Lord Zayguard and Lady Bili are."
Without wasting more time, the three of them entered the same car. A guard stepped forward and gently closed the door behind them. One by one, the remaining guards took their positions in nearby vehicles.
Soon, the convoy began to move, leaving the area behind as they headed toward their destination.
