Shoujo Grand Summoning
chapter-873

As expected of the Cyto Family’s turf, the economy and the city planning here is easily one of the best in the Ailu empire. Maybe it’s because the weather’s great, it looks like a majority of the citizens are outdoors today. It’s not to the extent where everyone’s squeezing each other for space but it’s definite rowdier than your average city.

Tagging behind the knight squad, he didn’t wander around like a lost tourist. He had a clearer objective in mind, with the knight squad clearing the way in front of him, his investigation process became smoother and more efficient.

Alas, the knight squad slowed down after half an hour. The people walking around thinned out as the path got wider. Soon, a building so large it can only be called a castle appeared in front of the squad of knights.

The cocky knights also changed their attitudes when they approached the palace. They exuded a professional and honorable air around them. They adjusted their footsteps when they drew closer to the building.

This squad was made up of lower-ranking knights of the Cyto Family. They averaged tier 6 in power. The leader has tier 7 strength. In the Cyto family, this knight squad is second-rate. Even so, that didn’t dissuade them from walking around town like they owned the joint.

The great three noble houses, the fame, and reputation they held outclassed someone without an official organization like Wu Yan.

Naturally, it slipped his mind that his girls were far, far stronger than any army the noble families can possibly put together. Wu Yan & co were already a force not to be trifled with.

Excluding Wu Yan, Mikoto, Kotori, Ikaros, Astrea, Tohka, and Flan, the other girls were all already at peak tier 8 power!

Inside the Ailu empire, taking into consideration the war power of the imperial family, the great noble houses, there were only so many peak tier 8 individuals. Perhaps, the imperial family might have more tier 8 individuals standing at the top. All in all, however, there are no more than 5 peak tier 8 cultivators in each faction.

Overall, Wu Yan & co paled in headcount, when compared to other factions, they lacked impact. Heck, even a smaller clan can beat them in absolute number. Assessing individual battle power, however, aside from the Board, there’s no other faction in the world that can compare in squad capabilities and power.

This also didn’t take into consideration 20,000 sisters with boundless potential affiliated with Wu Yan & co. When the Misaka army matures, Wu Yan & co will have become the strongest faction on Silvaria.

Yeah, let’s not forget about how Wu Yan’s engaged to the imperial princess. And, the beloved daughter of the Lori family, the most influential noble family in the empire also has a massive crush on him. Reviewed honestly and thoroughly, Wu Yan & co is probably the apex force in Silvaria.

In a vacant plot near the castle, the knight squad stopped. Wu Yan could finally see the whole ensemble. It wasn’t just this squad, other squads were arriving in droves. It looks like they are trying to organize an army here, it’s certainly impressive to see.

The Cyto family didn’t just recall a part of their forces, it looks like they recalled all of their outstation personnel. It seems like they are treating this haunting with a more severe undertone.

It wasn’t just because the Cyto officials are afraid of dying. Their entire clan is in a precarious position.

Three days ago, Marcus was found to have been transformed into a monster. This news has since spread far and wide in the entire empire. Even citizens got wind of this, naturally, the news of their second-in-charge turning into a monster and then subsequently killed brought great shame and disgrace upon the clan.

It didn’t help that Marcus previously conspired with the Beast King. While being trialed, he escaped and thus further threw the clan’s reputation into the gutter.

In their home turf, there’s news of a man-eating demon. If they played their cards wrong, the Cyto Family might become known as the clan of demons.

At that time, people wouldn’t mind kicking them while they are down. This is especially so when the number 3 noble family, the Ladin family wants nothing more than to quickly increase their status to replace Cyto as the new no.2 noble power.

In view of this, it seemed natural that they enhanced their defense as much as possible.

Looking at the 1000-men or so army, Wu Yan scratched his cheek, as he looked at the Cyto clan’s HQ.

He wondered to himself.

Should I sneak inside?

He does not doubt that the monster lurking in the Cyto clan is linked to the black light.

The timing is too uncanny for this to be an accident. A monster pops out around the same time the black light got chased here?

There is already a precedent where Marcus turned into an abominable monster.

Empowered by the black light which came from a source on par with the True Ancestor, an apex lifeform, Wu Yan cross-referenced this to his record where no such monsters existed before the black light’s appearance. By logical deduction, it has to be the black light!

A black wisp of light that can turn a human into a monster capable of weird and bizarre feats of power, that shouldn’t be possible under normal conditions, right?

Thinking back, Marcus’ transformation was most likely linked with his ascension into tier 9. If that’s the case, the black light’s effect isn’t just simple empowerment. It can forcefully raise a host’s tier, that’s an OP effect.

Did Silvaria have something like this?

Wu Yan ran that question through his mind for the last three days. In the end, he couldn’t come up with an answer. He knew too little about the wondrous secrets and objects in this world. The black light that can transmogrify someone, that certainly is suspicious and a cause of concern.

More than that, however, is the reaction his True Ancestor bloodline had when the black light appeared.

While Wu Yan was busy in his thoughts, the Cyto’s castle opened up as a figure emerged from within accompanied by multiple security escorts.

Wu Yan grinned when he saw the familiar figure.

It was Bing Ling.

Bing Ling stood upon a podium, he roamed his gaze over everyone present with a tense look.

“Good, you’re all here, listen well to what I am about to say…”

Bing Ling continued.

“In a short while, you will all receive your respective positions for the night.”

“After confirming your positions, you will report there immediately and guard your posts without fail.”

Bing Ling emitted cold lights from his eyes.

“Tonight, we will drag that monster out, this task must succeed!”

“Sir, yes sir!”

The soldiers replied. Bing Ling’s tense look somewhat diminished as he waved his hand, ordering his guards to pass the documents and memos down.

Wu Yan heard Bing Ling loud and clear, in a flash, he disappeared from the gathering grounds.
