Ascension: Demon Monarch System

97 Entering the Lessers
'----'

'The sky darkened and then once again returned with the luminance brought about by the day's radiant sun. Standing under this ubiquitous heat

youths gathered in the courtyard of the Kaisers in preparation for their departures. One by one they approached. However

as they gathered

there was no sign of Apollo.'

'Furrowing his brow

Kayn looked into the distance

"I have told that lad we are departing today and not to get too caught up in cultivation. If he delays any longer

there is a chance of us missing the deadline and that is unacceptable."'

'Turning towards the Grand Elder

Aaron coughed

"I'll go fetch him. Don't fret Grand Elder. I'll return shortly with him."'

'In return

Grand Elder Kayn nodded

"Very well. Lucky for him

we don't have to leave at this exact moment. Fetch him before the bell tolls." After stating his piece

he turned towards the 8 other youths beside him. Excluding Lily and Aaron

there were 7 other youths who were priorly unknown.'
