For someone in the legendary Heavenly Transformation realm, Darcel and Aniela was a bit surprised at the man outfit and overall general presence.

Instead of the overbearing exoticness Principal Zakira and Elder Leweyn naturally exuded, this man's presence was more subdued.

If Darcel and Aniela had to explain it, they would say the man resembles someone that is honest and clearly a hard worker. He had a sturdy, robust frame and was at least six feet tall.

The man's outfit consisted of a simple brown furry leather outfit.

And on the right side of his breastplate was the symbol of a golden fang, making his outfit pop out just that tiny bit.

Right when the man reached the entrance, the two other fifth Innate Core men took it upon themselves to leave.

They kept their heads down and walked right past the men, knowing full well it's best to not bother any Heavenly Kings.

Although, the mysterious hooded robe girl stayed behind.

Her eyes curiously stared at the man and specifically the golden fang symbol. A flash of realization crossed over in the girl's mind then. But before she could speak, the man began to talk.

"Ah, Fruna, Robert, Reyney, Hurey, it seems I just have impeccable timing. I was just coming back from my outing with the Ice Darke guild. And…."

The man's eyes suddenly trailed over Darcel and Aniela.

Already, the man could tell a bit of their personality from their stature. Darcel's expression was calm and neutral, though a hint of curiosity swirled in his eyes.

However, Aniela had a lovely small smile on her face as her gaze evenly matched the man's eyes.

No matter if it was a titled Heavenly King cultivator, Darcel and Aniela maintained their usual stride. Fruna stood close to them, and several clicks went off in the man's mind.

Even as he walked up to them, his attention was first taken by the duo and not by his own group members.

"It seems like you all managed to meet some people during your trip to the Misty Haze Pits?"

While he talked, the man's eyes also briefly trailed over the hooded robe girl.

This girl was also noteworthy of attention, though not as much as Darcel and Aniela. But he was curious on why she didn't go into town already and held a deep stare at him.

Robert, Reyney, and Hurey all froze up against the man's question.

All of their eyes promptly turned over to Fruna, giving her free reign to control the conversation. They don't want to be involved with that freakish duo more than they already are.

Of course, Fruna didn't have any problem with introducing Darcel and Aniela.

Her eyes quickly flashed over to the duo, and they also briefly glanced at Fruna. Darcel and Aniela smiled at her, also giving her free reign to control the entire conversation.

Understanding their request, Fruna turned back over to the man and saluted.

"Heavenly General Gorbug. The boy is Darcel, and the girl is Aniela. They are with us; in fact, we had sort of searched out for them on our own. Our soul pendants led us over to them, and they helped us get far in the Misty Haze Pits. Just now, I was about to take them over to join our group."

Contrary to what Robert, Reyney, Hurey, Fruna, and even Darcel and Aniela thought.

Heavenly General Gorbug didn't have that much of a reaction. Rather his face slowly formed into an expectant smile as if he knew this was coming.

"I see….two True Soul Core youths, huh. There may be some….discussion about them. But, since you were about to personally lead them to join us, I don't see any issue about them joining."

And then, Heavenly General Gorbug turned his attention back on Darcel and Aniela.

Looking at them dead in the eyes, he told them, "Darcel, Aniela. I am one of the Heavenly Generals of Nobe's Fang group. I'm sure you two will fit right in here."

Seeing the welcoming smile on Heavenly General Gorbug's face was inviting. But Darcel and Aniela couldn't help but find it a bit….too queer.

From the snippets they heard from Robert and Reyney, they believed something more complicated may arise about them joining.

Still, Darcel and Aniela weren't the ones to question a smiling face.

Aniela herself gave Heavenly General Gorbug a broad alluring smile that carried a luminous shine.

"It's nice to meet you, Heavenly General Gorbug! Darcel and I are a bit new here, so any help would be appreciated. And trust me, you won't regret helping us out!"

The bold and assured tone of Aniela was almost too persuasive to listen to. That kind of stride and confidence made Heavenly General Gorbug gain a hint of respect in his eyes about her.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Even as Darcel still didn't talk, his steady, confident stature only accentuated Aniela's point.

"Is that so? I guess there's only one way to truly find out then, right? Come on le-"

"Hey! They're going to join, too, right? And you all are from the Nobe's Fang group, huh. Then I'm requesting to join your group too!"

The hooded robe girl abruptly spoke up and even interrupted Heavenly General Gorbug. There was also sort of a demanding tone in her voice that wouldn't take any form of an answer besides a yes.

Promptly, Robert, Reyney, Hurey, and Fruna turned to look at the girl.

They had a slight frown, obviously not liking the girl's hot attitude. Yet none of them didn't bother to speak out against it. They already saw just how aggressive the girl could be on a dime.

Heavenly General Gorbug turned his eyes over to the girl. Instead of feeling annoyed, he was interrupted; his expression was still a calm slight smile.

"A fifth rank Innate Core eh? I like your temperament, girl. We're always welcome to newcomers; let's head back, shall we."

"Right!" Robert, Reyney, Hurey, and Fruna all voiced their agreement at the same time.

Promptly then, Heavenly General Gorbug turned around and started walking into the town.

Fruna quickly walked up to Heavenly General Gorbug while the other three men stayed just a few feet to her side.

And at the back was Darcel, Aniela, and the hooded robe girl.

Aniela boldly stared right at the hooded robe girl and opened up her mouth. "Hehehe~, you just don't mince any words or hold back your actions! You know….I'm already having a great first impression of you."

Aniela was never the one to hold back her words, and she genuinely gave out her honest thought.

When telling her that, she, Darcel, and the hooded robe girl began following behind Heavenly General Gorbug's group. However, their attentions were on each other.

"It was very bold, I must say. Against those rowdy silver armor men, you look like you were prepping to take all three at once." Darcel chimed in after Aniela.

He gave the hooded robe girl a charming smile as his eyes wandered across the buildings inside the town.

Truly being inside and outside the town are two entirely different experiences. Everything inside the town was vast, spouting numerous kinds of shops, Sects, or other types of organizations.

Endless amounts of people roam the streets, all of them walking with purpose.

But a critical difference between the people in this town compared to Necrotic City was the fact that a lot more people were bundled up together.

There weren't many singular cultivators walking about, and there weren't many low-level cultivators.

Darcel certainly did felt the temperature inside the town walls significantly warm-up compared to outside.

But still, the lowest level walking around as far Darcel could sense was early True Soul Core warriors.

Darcel couldn't wonder his eyes for long around the town since the hooded robe girl didn't miss a beat when replying to him.

"Hmph! It all comes naturally to me. But if we're on first impressions, you two certainly don't hold back as well! You two were quite flashy, even got those silver eyes sores sweating."

Darcel could see a hint of a smirk forming on the girl's beautiful cherry red lips as she talked. Several intriguing ideas popped into his mind then, but Darcel pushed down those thoughts for a little bit later.

"You could say that also only comes naturally to us. By the way, what's your name?" Darcel asked, and Aniela's attention was also inquisitive by this subject.

And for the briefest of moments, the hooded robe girl paused.

Darcel managed to pick up the brief pause, but the girl soon started walking again, right as it occurred.

"It's Yasami….and you know what? Even if this is literally our first meeting, it's refreshing to finally have some fearless youths to talk to."

An inquiring expression dawned on Aniela's face upon hearing the girl.

But her face quickly split back into a smile after thinking for a couple of seconds. "Fearless, huh? Yes….yes! That's a great title all of us can identify with! That's some nice thinking, Yasami!"

Admittedly, seeing how bright and open Aniela was had taken her a back for a moment. But soon then, a more genuine smile formed on Yasami's lips as she could more confirm that this pair of duo certainly is interesting.

While the youths were merrily chatting away, up head Fruna and Heavenly General Gorbug are talking with each other.

Heavenly General Gorbug had an analytical expression as he asked, "Truly? Those kids' power and control over their souls go up to that degree?"

As Darcel asked her before, Fruna was putting in a real good word for him and Aniela to make their joining process even more smoother.

A huge smile graced Fruna's lips as she answered Heavenly General Gorbug.

"Indeed. It's more than you can actually expect, really. And take this as you will, but without them, we wouldn't have been able to make it a mile in the Misty Haze Pits." When Fruna spoke the last part, her voice lowered down to more of a whisper.

And Heavenly General Gorbug's eyes slightly widen hearing this. He already had sensed a vague trace of their alluring soul powers before. And now, his curiosity shot through the roof.

The only ones who had kept the talking to a minimum were Robert, Reyney, and Hurey.

While they marched on back to their organization, these three felt an odd, ominous feeling. And most certainly, they all traced this feeling back to Darcel and Aniela.

….

Under Heavenly General Gorbug's guide, it took a few minutes before they all finally arrived at the Nobe's Fang group.

Immediately Darcel, Aniela, and Yasami's attention was taken by how vast their place was.

For Darcel and Aniela, they only heard talks about other Sects or Academies during their stay inside Zakira Academy. Even the books they read only included Sects, Academies, Mage's places, or shops.

They honestly can't say they know much about how Mercenaries band work.

But the building the Nobe's Fang group stayed in clearly showed Darcel and Aniela they weren't just a mere band of rogue cultivators.

The Nobe's Fang group actually had several vast and larger interconnected buildings. Each building held a beautiful crystal blue coat of paint, and there were bright gold markings of a fang painted on some parts of the building.

Although as they walked up to the building, none of them saw any people coming out or in the entrance.

Still, the great luxuriously of the Nobe's Fang group couldn't be denied.

"Well, well, would you look at this? It's quite a pretty building, don't you guys think?" Yasami mainly directed her question at Darcel and Aniela.

During their few minutes walk here, they all had swimmingly chatted along and were enjoying each other's company.

Darcel turned his eyes over to Gorbug and began to say, "Indeed it is. Heavenly General Gorbug is this…."

"Yes, it is. Welcome to Nobe's Fang group." Heavenly General Gorbug answered Darcel calmly.

Already by just being outside the place, Darcel, Aniela and Yasami felt their curiosity quickly grow about this band of Mercenary. They could tell they would be in for an exciting time.
