Ch. 781The Portrait
Raguel and Arthur Lionheart uncovered that the Gray Legion had stolen a portrait carrying a faint trace of Yuliel’s aura, and feared it might be used to affect the battle above the Star Sea. Annatania received Raguel’s report, but Yuliel reassured her that he was unharmed and had Noarongz under control.
- Arthur Lionheart agreed with Raguel that infiltrators had helped spark the knight orders’ rebellion and authorized a search for what the Gray Legion had taken.
- Raguel released Buyin Suoerde from prison to lead familiar knights in searching the Heavenly Continent at the A24 Defense Line.
- Three days later, Buyin Suoerde reported that a portrait of Yuliel, painted during the ancient Abyss expedition and bearing a trace of his aura, was missing.
- Raguel sent an urgent report to Queen of Heaven Annatania, who feared the Gray Legion might use the portrait to influence Yuliel’s battle.
- Yuliel told Annatania that he was unharmed, had Noarongz under control, and expected victory when the Astral Realm and the Original Universe fully merged.
