Chapter 675 A s.p.a.ce Mage, an Empress, a Fairy, a Warlock, and a Sister.
"…I don"t think I should think more about this Xavier guy. He"s just pathetic, and that"s all that he has to show to me…"
There was a faint tremble in Alex"s voice after scanning the info about the Traveler named Xavier, as if what he had read struck a chord with him.
As for what this could be, Alex did not specifically state it.
Aside from this, Alex also seemed to be cringing from what he was reading, which was to be expected given the way that it was written.
Instead of having the reports written in an informative style, the reports that Alex received were written closer to a story-telling type, which is just informal and only fits on entertainment-based works.
This made Alex close to las.h.i.+ng out again, but given his rush to finish reading, Alex chose to ignore this weird writing for now.
[[[Traveler Xavier is affiliated with the Holy Order Church, which is a decision made by his companions. Both he and the Holy Order Church seem unhappy with this situation, but both had no choice but to form an alliance.]]]
[[Other Travelers had already formed alliances with other religions at this time, and the only choice left was Traveler Xavier.]]]
"Lol, so even here in this world, this man is just the last choice? Hahaha, sucks to be him…"
[[[The names of the Traveler Xavier"s companions were Beatrice, Android 679, and Fairy d.u.c.h.ess Matilda. Their powers as mentioned before were all at the Sixth Stage, making them a dangerous foe against anyone.]]]
[[[Known Powers: Traveler Xavier wields both s.p.a.ce and Fate Magic, while Beatrice is an adept Sword G.o.d. Android 679 is similar to the Overlord, and the Fairy d.u.c.h.ess wields a power like the esteemed Guide Asteria.]]]
[[[Some minions said that Beatrice is also a Divine Maiden, and that she possesses the Skin of Omniscience, which is a Divine Sensory Organ. This makes this woman a danger against the Divine Maiden Alina, and it is not a stretch to say that the former will surely try to make a move against Alina on the Welcoming Ceremony.]]]
[[[Recommended Battle Tactic against Traveler Xavier: Attack the tTaveler himself and ignore his allies. He is the weak link of the group, which means that defeating him will be the easiest.]]]
[[[Danger Rating: 9 out 10. This could be lower, but the power of his companions and the support given by the Holy Order Church has solidified this rating.p̶̣̽r̷͚̉å̷͚i̶͇̋s̶̫̿ e̸̖̅ ų̸͝s̶̲͛o̸̦̽ h̷̥͌Á̴͚b̸̺͒ y̷̼͝ś̴̼s̴͓͗E̶̛̘ n̵̤̊v̷̺͛ô̸̖y̵̝͝ a̸̫̾n̵̨̔d̶̞̎s̵̰̎ h̸̖̅o̵̟͆w̸͖̉e̵̜͆ r̶̭͌u̵̱̇s̷͔͘ w̸̮̿ï̶̥t̸̲͐ h̵̖͂y̴̼̾ȍ̵̫u̴͇͝ r̷͔̐b̸̲̚l̸̜̈ ë̵̝́s̴̠̏s̵̰̔ i̷͕͆n̵͖̉g̵͍̑s̸̹͛ !̸̥͌o̴̩͗h̴̛̦ p̶̢͐l̸̲̑e̶̫͊ a̸͕̐s̶͖͝ḙ̸͠s̸̥̕ h̵̻̽ő̸͈w̸͙̉ e̵͉͂r̴͖͆u̷̧̚ s̵̙̊w̷̦̓ỉ̷̱ ț̸̉h̷̨͆y̷͝ͅ ő̵̜u̶̘̽ṟ̷̅ ġ̶̩r̷͔̈́a̸̻̔ c̷̻̆ê̴͎ť̶̞o̵̡̒ó̶̺!̴̺̋ ]]]
"9 out of 10? Hm, that"s not bad, and I agree with the recommended battle plan against him. But why do I feel like there is something missing here…"
Alex shook his black-clad head as he tightened his grip on the paper, and he displayed an annoyed tone too, as if there was something in what he read that made him more irritated.
Such irritation easily wiped away his happiness, but this did not deter him from his current task.
"Tsk, if there is something missing here, I would make those minions of mine pay later… But for now, I have to look at the info about the remaining Travelers too…"
With a flip comparable to an expert reader, Alex breezed through the remaining pages in an astonis.h.i.+ng speed, that it allowed him to finish the whole papers in just a matter of seconds.
This speed was something that should be impossible for any other person, but with his mind enhanced by the Abyss itself, report-reading was nothing more but a cakewalk for the current Alex.
In fact, Alex could have actually finished reading the papers in a much faster time.
The only reason why he "slowed" himself down was because he wanted to take in all the details about his possible opponents.
This decision turned out to be right, as the things that Alex read next from these papers made him actually feel danger and wariness for his life.
*******************
[[The next Traveler investigated was s.h.i.+ Xingyun. She was a princess of a mighty empire that ruled a star field in the Immortal Destiny Realm. With her talents in Immortal Cultivation and an innate sense of leaders.h.i.+p, s.h.i.+ Xingyun was set to be the first ever Empress of her Empire.]]]
[[But due to an invasion of a foreign race, this Empire fell overnight, turning Traveler s.h.i.+ Xingyun into a vagrant royalty hounded by her enemies. The power of this foreign race was enough to bring s.h.i.+ Xingyun to the brink of her death, and the only reason she survived was because of a beggar who wantonly turned her into a Traveler.]]]
[[[Traveler s.h.i.+ Xingyun had conquered missions in 12 Worlds already, a feat that made her one of the most experienced Travelers amongst the younger generation. On her side were 2 Travelers, both that yielded mysterious powers that raised the over-all power of her team.]]]
[[[s.h.i.+ Xingyun is allied with the Goetic Palace, although the relations.h.i.+p between them is somewhat chilly.]]]
[[[Known Powers: s.h.i.+ Xingyun is an Immortal Cultivator and a Conqueror"s Aura Wielder. Both Power Systems were at the Sixth Stage, which was already enough to make her an offensive juggernaut. Her two Companions have no names whatsoever, and their powers still have no proper explanation. But just like s.h.i.+ Xingyun, these companions were also at the Sixth Stage.]]]
[[[Recommended battle tactic against Traveler s.h.i.+ Xingyun: She is a prideful woman, and any verbal attack about her Empire or her ability to rule will be an effective way to agitate her. The usage of the Conqueror"s Aura is also encouraged, and this power has a possibility of getting stronger if s.h.i.+ Xingyun were to be defeated.]]]
[[[Danger rating: 9.5 out of 10. This rating could change once the power and ident.i.ty of her two companions were to be known.p̶̣̽r̷͚̉å̷͚ i̶͇̋s̶̫̿ e̸̖̅ų̸͝ s̶̲͛o̸̦̽h̷̥͌ Á̴͚b̸̺͒y̷̼͝ ś̴̼s̴͓͗E̶̛̘ n̵̤̊v̷̺͛ô̸̖y̵̝͝ a̸̫̾n̵̨̔d̶̞̎s̵̰̎ h̸̖̅o̵̟͆w̸͖̉ e̵̜͆r̶̭͌u̵̱̇s̷͔͘ w̸̮̿ï̶̥t̸̲͐h̵̖͂ y̴̼̾ȍ̵̫u̴͇͝r̷͔̐ b̸̲̚l̸̜̈ë̵̝́ s̴̠̏s̵̰̔i̷͕͆ n̵͖̉g̵͍̑ s̸̹͛!̸̥͌ o̴̩͗h̴̛̦ p̶̢͐l̸̲̑e̶̫͊a̸͕̐ s̶͖͝ḙ̸͠s̸̥̕ h̵̻̽ő̸͈w̸͙̉ e̵͉͂r̴͖͆u̷̧̚s̵̙̊ w̷̦̓ỉ̷̱ț̸̉ h̷̨͆y̷͝ͅő̵̜ u̶̘̽ṟ̷̅ġ̶̩ r̷͔̈́a̸̻̔c̷̻̆ ê̴͎ť̶̞o̵̡̒ ó̶̺!̴̺̋]]]

[[[The third Traveler is Traveler Overron. He is not to be mistaken with Oberon, the King of Fairies. Overron is a clone made up from one of Oberon"s cells, and Overron"s sole purpose in life was to breed and create children for Oberon himself.]]]
[[[Not much was known on how Overron became a Traveler, but his transformation into a Traveler was accompanied by the destruction of Oberon"s Fairy Realm, along with the death of the latter"s family.]]]
[[[Just like s.h.i.+ XIngyun, Traveler Overron has two companions on his side, both that are the same specie as him.]]]
[[[Traveler Overron is allied with the Nature Cult, a religion that wors.h.i.+ps the True G.o.d of Life and Creation EARC. It was said that Traveler Overron is treated lavishly like a king by this religion, a factor that might make him a difficult enemy to deal with.]]]
[[[Known Powers: Traveler Overron wields Fairy Magic, a magic that only creatures like him can wield. He is at the Sixth Stage, which is enough to make him a dangerous opponent. Traveler Overron"s Companions both wield Fairy Magic too, but due to their late team-up with him, both only have a power level of around Fifth Stage.]]]
[[[Recommended Battle Tactic against Traveler Overron: Inquire all the known weaknesses of Fairy Magic from the esteemed Guide Asteria, and use it against Overron.]]]
[[[Danger Rating: 8 out of 10. Overron might only be the only Sixth Stage Being in his team, but the zealous support by the Nature Cult to him makes him hard to deal with.p̶̣̽r̷͚̉ å̷͚i̶͇̋s̶̫̿e̸̖̅ ų̸͝s̶̲͛o̸̦̽ h̷̥͌Á̴͚b̸̺͒y̷̼͝ ś̴̼s̴͓͗E̶̛̘n̵̤̊ v̷̺͛ô̸̖y̵̝͝ a̸̫̾n̵̨̔d̶̞̎ s̵̰̎h̸̖̅o̵̟͆w̸͖̉ e̵̜͆r̶̭͌u̵̱̇ s̷͔͘w̸̮̿ï̶̥ t̸̲͐h̵̖͂y̴̼̾ȍ̵̫ u̴͇͝r̷͔̐b̸̲̚ l̸̜̈ë̵̝́s̴̠̏ s̵̰̔i̷͕͆n̵͖̉ g̵͍̑s̸̹͛!̸̥͌o̴̩͗ h̴̛̦p̶̢͐l̸̲̑ e̶̫͊a̸͕̐s̶͖͝ ḙ̸͠s̸̥̕h̵̻̽ő̸͈ w̸͙̉e̵͉͂r̴͖͆ u̷̧̚s̵̙̊w̷̦̓ỉ̷̱ ț̸̉h̷̨͆y̷͝ͅ ő̵̜u̶̘̽ṟ̷̅ġ̶̩ r̷͔̈́a̸̻̔c̷̻̆ê̴͎ ť̶̞o̵̡̒ ó̶̺!̴̺̋]]]

[[[The fourth Traveler is a Spirit Warlock that goes by the name of Iskanor. He hails from the Spirit Spring Realm, and he was one of the sons of the fearsome Spirit-Devouring Monarch.]]]
[[[He has the talent to succeed on his father"s footsteps, but after the Endless Monarch pummeled the Spirit-Devouring Monarch on a dispute, the Spirit-Devouring Monarch had to gift Iskanor as a Traveler to the Endless Monarch.]]]
[[[Due to his aloof nature and incredible Spirit Abilities, Traveler Iskanor only has one companion by his side, and this companion was his soul-bound slave. Both of them are powerful in their own right, and n.o.body who crossed their paths had ever survived.]]]
[[[Traveler Iskanor only went through 9 Worlds as of now, but it was said that he performed all of his missions in a perfect manner.]]]
[[[Traveler Iskanor did not ally himself with any religions. Instead, he forcefully dominated one, and he turned himself into this religion"s sole ruler. This religion was the Phaseless Tomb, a religion which wors.h.i.+p the True G.o.d of Reality and Illusion TILEA]]]
[[[It was unknown on how Traveler Iskanor managed to subdue and rule over the Phaseless tomb, although the possibility that his inborn Supreme Spirit a.s.sisted in this matter is highly plausible.]]]
[[Known Powers: Iskanor was a Sixth Stage Being that practiced the way of Spirit Arts. He was also born with a Supreme Spirit, which gives him an easy path to Transcendence. Combining these two powers together gives Iskanor a power that only Half-Step Transcendent Beings can resist.]]]
[[[Iskanor"s Soul-Bound Companion has not revealed her powers yet, as all of her victims and those who investigated her were killed by her power. But it is sure that she"s at least a Sixth Stage Being too.]]]
[[[Recommended battle tactic against Traveler Iskanor: Any ability that can weaken or counteract Spirit or Soul-Based abilities are needed in order to defeat Iskanor. But because of his Supreme Spirit, a greater level of power was also needed to ensure a victory against him.]]]
[[[Danger Rating: 9.8 out of 10. Without any preparation, it is not advisable to seek this Traveler out. Only attack him if the situation requires it, or if the attacker is sure of his or her victory.p̶̣̽r̷͚̉ å̷͚i̶͇̋s̶̫̿e̸̖̅ ų̸͝s̶̲͛o̸̦̽ h̷̥͌Á̴͚b̸̺͒ y̷̼͝ś̴̼s̴͓͗ E̶̛̘n̵̤̊v̷̺͛ ô̸̖y̵̝͝a̸̫̾n̵̨̔ d̶̞̎s̵̰̎h̸̖̅ o̵̟͆w̸͖̉e̵̜͆ r̶̭͌u̵̱̇s̷͔͘w̸̮̿ ï̶̥t̸̲͐h̵̖͂ y̴̼̾ȍ̵̫u̴͇͝r̷͔̐ b̸̲̚l̸̜̈ë̵̝́ s̴̠̏s̵̰̔i̷͕͆ n̵͖̉g̵͍̑s̸̹͛ !̸̥͌o̴̩͗ h̴̛̦p̶̢͐l̸̲̑e̶̫͊ a̸͕̐s̶͖͝ ḙ̸͠s̸̥̕h̵̻̽ő̸͈ w̸͙̉e̵͉͂r̴͖͆ u̷̧̚s̵̙̊w̷̦̓ ỉ̷̱ț̸̉h̷̨͆y̷͝ͅ ő̵̜u̶̘̽ṟ̷̅ ġ̶̩r̷͔̈́a̸̻̔ c̷̻̆ê̴͎ť̶̞ o̵̡̒ó̶̺ !̴̺̋]]]

[[[The fifth and final Traveler investigated by the minions is Traveler Talia, who is the sister of the Holy Order Envoy Delia. Like Delia, Traveler Talia also comes from the same hometown, and she was just as skilled in martial arts as her sister.]]]
[[[Traveler Talia became a Traveler through the person who turned Delia into a Traveler too.]]]
[[[Traveler Talia has 3 Companions by her side, with only two of them reaching the Sixth Stage. These two were called Xia and Guisha, with the former being a Chronomancer and the latter being an Asura Demon. The other remaining companion had no powers at all, which makes this person"s status as a companion a mystery.]]]
[[[Traveler Talia had allied with the Red Tower, a religion which wors.h.i.+ps the True G.o.d of War and Deception PECED. This discovery comes to no surprise to the investigators, as her att.i.tude and the power of her allies fit with the Red Tower"s principles.]]]
[[[Due to her fast-paced att.i.tude and her ability to perform missions quickly, Traveler Talia had more Worlds visited than Delia herself, which totaled to 6 just before this current world.]]]
[[[Known Powers: Traveler Talia follows two Power Systems; the Staff Sage Martial Arts and the Void Prowler Compendium, both which are the Sixth Stage. Her two companions as mentioned before were a Chronomancer and an Asura Demon, who were both at the Sixth Stage too.]]]
[[[Recommended battle tactic against Traveler Talia: Attack the powerless companion, and if possible, kidnap this companion and use her as a hostage against Traveler Talia. If this method is not preferred, the esteemed Abyss Envoy"s link with Traveler Delia can also be used.]]]
[[[Danger Rating: 9.9 out of 10. Traveler Talia is dangerous, but with the right actions, her threat can be neutralized.p̶̣̽r̷͚̉å̷͚ i̶͇̋s̶̫̿e̸̖̅ ų̸͝s̶̲͛o̸̦̽ h̷̥͌Á̴͚b̸̺͒y̷̼͝ ś̴̼s̴͓͗E̶̛̘ n̵̤̊v̷̺͛ô̸̖ y̵̝͝a̸̫̾n̵̨̔d̶̞̎ s̵̰̎h̸̖̅o̵̟͆ w̸͖̉e̵̜͆r̶̭͌ u̵̱̇s̷͔͘w̸̮̿ï̶̥ t̸̲͐h̵̖͂y̴̼̾ ȍ̵̫u̴͇͝r̷͔̐b̸̲̚ l̸̜̈ë̵̝́s̴̠̏ s̵̰̔i̷͕͆n̵͖̉ g̵͍̑s̸̹͛!̸̥͌ o̴̩͗h̴̛̦p̶̢͐l̸̲̑ e̶̫͊a̸͕̐s̶͖͝ ḙ̸͠s̸̥̕h̵̻̽ő̸͈ w̸͙̉e̵͉͂r̴͖͆ u̷̧̚s̵̙̊w̷̦̓ ỉ̷̱ț̸̉h̷̨͆ y̷͝ͅő̵̜u̶̘̽ṟ̷̅ ġ̶̩r̷͔̈́a̸̻̔ c̷̻̆ê̴͎ť̶̞o̵̡̒ ó̶̺ !̴̺̋]]]
