World Terror

The reason for Carol chod choosing a disciple is also the reason for his a.s.sessment process. Few years back during a covert mission of "United Cities a Inter-city-governmental organization" an enemy Shaman attacked with an 8th tier curse item, cursing Carol with an 8th tier curse. Carol himself being a 7th tier Terror Walker was doomed to die on spot but thanks to the timely intervention of an allied 9th tier Terror Walker the curse was suppressed and carol was saved. This information was not made public cause the injury was made during a cover operation.

Even though the curse was suppressed Carol was never able get rid of the curse, it was slowly eating away his vitality and his lifespan was slowly being shortened. Currently Carol had 4 more good years left and recently found a way to get rid of the Curse. The answer to getting rid of this curse "Owari no Ken " laid in a 3rd tier world "Crying Heavens".

With his influence and resources Carol gathered 21 Scenario props for " Crying Heavens ". but two problems arose in Carol"s plan. Firstly, being a 7th tier Terror walker he could not enter a 3rd Tier world unless it is a conquered World. Secondly the Scenario prop only took to " Crying Heavens" when it was used by Zero Tier or rookie Terror walkers.

A 7th tier Terror walker can only walk into 7th or higher tier Terror worlds. But this law does not apply to the conquered Terror Worlds, any tier terror walkers can enter in conquered terror worlds.

Conquered Terror worlds are the terror worlds which have been completely conquered by the Terror walkers. There is only one why to conquer a Terror World that is by subduing the Terror world"s will. Apparently every world has its own will which monitors the world order, as for the Terror world"s will monitors the original works Plotline. Terror world"s will is the enemy of all the terror walkers and apparently the reason a higher tier terror walker cannot enter the Terror world of lower tier. Terror world"s will actively try to make sure that the terror world is running according to the Original works so when a Terror walker tries to complete his scenario he is actually challenging Terror world"s will with just his presence in the Terror world.

Fortunately Terror world"s will cannot directly turn on Defcon 1, otherwise all the terror walkers would never manage to complete their scenario maintask line and make it out of the Terror world. The defense condition of the Terror world will increase with the degree with which the Terror world plotline is diverted from the original works plotline. Therefore most of the Terror Walkers try not to affect the world plotline completing their scenario maintask line.

To conquer a Terror world one has to completely subdue that Terror world"s will, destroying or killing the Terror world will not help one conquer the Terror world, they will only be preparing for their funerals as once the Terror world will is destroyed or Killed the terror world starts to collapse and turn into nothingness. And those that did not complete the maintask line will be struck in the collapsing terror world unable to leave the Terror world.

The only way to subdue a Terror world"s will is by completely overpowering it, Terror world"s will is very tenacious and stubborn they would rather collapse than be enslaved. Terror walkers are also not to be underestimated, over the year"s thousands of worlds have been conquered by them.

There are few conquered Terror worlds of "Crying Heaven" under the United Cities banner but they are useless to Carol"s case as once an terror world is conquered the scenario props, items, artifacts, which are usually obtained from the terror world are no longer available. The few uses of a conquered world are mine"s, T-coins,food etc[1].

Owari no Ken is Tachi sword legacy"s heirloom unless it is inherited it will not turn into scenario prop. So, if a Terror walker were to s.n.a.t.c.h or rob the sword from Hito it would be of no use, Therefore Carol was not able to find the sword in the market or the black market.

Basically the only way Carol could get his hands on the Owari no ken was by having a rookie inherit the sword from Hito, which was basically a mission Impossible.

.........…

[ Yeah! I was the one who used the Scenario porp, My plan from the very beginning was to gain Owari no Ken. What the funk will you ants do about this? complain to the city government? Let me stop you from wasting your time, My family runs the city government. ] Leon sneered looking at James and the rest of the team, he did not bother to hide behind his mask anymore having achieved his goal.

[ you son of pitch! Who is going to wait till we get back to the city, I am going to kill you right here right now.] Justin anger of Leon had already reached its bottleneck knowing his betrayal, hearing him taunt them his anger broke the bottleneck, Justin moved to attack Leon.

Seeing Justin come at him Leon just smirked and the rest of the were also consumed with anger for Leon were surprised but it was too late none of them could stop Justin who was right next to Leon, even though Mira was capable to stop Justin with the speed of her ability but she choose not to because she did want the rest of the team to consider her siding with Leon.

Just when the rest of the team thought it was over, a group of light particles gathered in front of Justin and formed into a humanoid shape, it was Ava within a second she arrived in front of Justin pausing his advance on Leon. Justin and Ava"s stunt attracted the attention of the three big brothers Sukehime, Masako and Leon, they looked at Ava with surprise.

" I see you have learnt the skill " lightening steps " already, I think I was right to pa.s.s the inheritance onto you. Light churches Inheritance is a perfect fit for your ability. " Sukehime obviously noticed the oddity in the team"s behaviour but chose to ignore it.

" Thank you, Your Highness. " Ava gracefully thanked Sukehime for her praise while she mentally said [ If your actions affect Trisha in any way, I will personally kill you. No matter the cost. ]

The Team could feel the iciness in Ava"s thoughts, they believed her that she would not hesitate to kill them if their action affects Trisha.

Justin gulped his saliva and took a step, he did not understand if she was warning him or Leon. Anyway he had to follow Ava"s orders as the families elder ordered both the twins to follow and protect Ava. The Arrogance in Leon"s eyes also dimmed a little bit hearing Ava"s threat but soon he was back to arrogant self, if it was just his family alone then Mellon family was not something he could afford to mess with, but now that he was successful in the sword emperors a.s.sessment he and his family no had the back of a sword emperor. Now In the entire city even the city lord will have to think twice before dealing with him.

Hearing Leon"s arrogant statement James and Ava were also full of anger, but they chose to bury their anger as right now they were in scenario and they could not afford to act with their heart right now they had to be smart.

Leon was right Complaining to city government will only be waste of time, O"Hara Mercenary group was Just a mercenary group it could not compare Barnard family, as Mellon family Ava"s dad did not what anything to do with family that"s why he abandoned the family and joined the O"Hara Mercenary group. And the rest of the team were a bunch of n.o.bodies. Leon"s background was comparatively more ma.s.sive than the entire team so the team could forget getting justice from the city government.

As for dealing with Leon in the Terror world was even worse of a plan. Killing Leonin the scenario would only harm the team but do no good to them. It"s not that Leon is important to clear the scenario but currently Leon"s status in the scenario was greater than the rest of the team.

Currently the whole time was under the mercy of the Three big brother"s Sukehime, Masako and Hito. If not for them they all would have become insect food long ago. And adding to that They all have already joined the banner of Masako as her followers.so if they want to kill or harm Leon they would have to answer Masako and Sukehime.

Even if they ignore Masako and Sukehime and still try to harm or kill Leon, Hito will protect Leon, because Leon is his first disciple and heir of the Tachi Sword legacy School. Leon not only was the follower of Masako but also the disciple of Hito and the 6th generation Heir of the Tachi Sword legacy. So, if the team even shows a little bit of harming or killing intention towards Leon then, they will have to face the Big three. Making it even more impossible to kill or even harm Leon in the Terror world.

James and the team were in a position even if they knew who the traitor was they could not do anything, adding to that Leon"s smug face made them resent themselves for being weak, they swore to remember this enmity and playback hundred fold.
