Impending cultists approaching 2 [6]

The long table was filled with appetizing food that could make even a person on diet drool in hunger, with Abraham's wild appearance everybody was chatting brightly as they enjoyed themselves, they spoke freely and openly almost as if they forgot that they were leaders and that one mistake of words can start a war.

"Eula, this place isn't so bad right?... I don't know why a world like this is in a gate but I aint complaining" Abraham asked his wife with pieces of meat stuck on his mouth

"there's meat in your cheeks... Is there a time where you not act like a baby" She replied wiping off the meat like a mother cleaning her child

"oh come on, they know that we are from a different world, don't you think that it's a great excuse for me to eat this wonderful meal with no dining etiquette?" Abraham said without much care

"eat like a pig you mean.. now stay still and let me wipe it off before I make you"

Although the other leaders in the table were busy talking about other things, they couldn't help but pay attention to their boldness.

"(this.. America.. Their leader is very bold, I wonder what kind of kingdom it is?) Abraham, did you take care of my diplomats?" the emperor of Gracia asked with no harm in his words

"of course, I guess you also did the same?"

"yes, they enjoyed themselves... Oh and let us thank my court mage for this wide scale language spell, if it weren't for him we would all be confused and lost, let's make a toast for him"

All of them made a toast but Abraham including his wife Eula couldn't help but think about something so wrong about what was going on, as hunters, especially S ranks like themselves, they had a high understanding on how mana works and operates. To be able to manipulate mana in such a way must mean that their magic is stupidly advanced and yet the entire mansion seemed to be low tech, they saw no electricity nor anything related to translation, let alone being able to directly change what the foreign people say into perfect English, just thinking about it made both of their brains numb.

(how does this work?) Eula asked herself in awe of this magic

She ate her meal like a fine lady unlike her husband who went to town with all the food he saw, she didn't bother talking to anyone other than her husband but she did listen to every conversation quietly like a professional stalker. She heard things ranging from arrange marriages to simple light talk among the kings and queens sitting in the table, for now there was nothing important until.

(hm? I just detected a presence just now, where did it go?) Eula turned around looking at empty space

Not only Eula but Abraham did detect it as well but it seems like the others didn't as they did not seem to have any qualities of a hunter but atleast some of the people below detected it too as some of the princes and princesses had qualities of a hunter, so they were able to see Mana unlike normal people.

There was a mild disturbance among the room but the majority of the people inside were not able to detect it like the minority in the room who had the abilities of a hunter so it slowly died out as the people disregarded it quickly.

"I need to go check on something" the FBH S rank said as he leaped from his sofa

"no no! Stay here and relax, enjoy the wine and food! This is where the guards and knights get their time to relax, so you should too" Parzival said in a persistent manner

Parzival didn't have a tall figure, he didn't have a broad shoulder or an imposing figure and yet he had the title as the leader of the Royal knights. He seemed lightweight and his hands were always careful and gentle and his way of speech was soothing to even the most stubborn person, with white hair, droopy yellow eyes, a gentle smile, he didn't seem to be threatening to anyone however, As a trained bodyguard the FBH agent can spot even the most slight details unseen by ordinary people.

(he's always positioning himself so that he can attack me first, the way he sits makes it obvious that he's on full alert... He always glues his hand on his sword sheath.. Not to mention that he is very well at S rank level-

As he intensely stared at Parzival, Parzival only replied with a calm smile to his actions which made the FBH guy turn his eyes away without a second thought.

(I swear his gaze is so fucking sharp.. I'm getting drunk I'm not good with alcohol, I need to see the president... I feel something bad about that presence I detected just now, I'm sure both the President and his wife detected it too, I used to work with Eula during an S rank gate opening.. I can bet that she's on full alert by now, did this Parzival guy detected it too? Probably not, this room is filled with S rank level people, our own presences must've blocked that mysterious presence that appeared and disappeared, I'm the only one beside the door where I could see the mana outside the room clearly"

The FBH guy hesitated as he did not want to disturb the people who were having a peaceful party, just the thought of him going up the 2nd floor and getting all the gazes of powerful people gave him the chills of embarrassment, despite that thought he positioned himself like a sprinter preparing to run, in this way he could reach them in a split second.

(I don't want to disturb them... This is the best I could do) he thought with his legs ready to explode into action at any second

"calm your ass, enjoy the meal.. this shit is fire as hell" the other FBH guy said as he held some kebabs

"no I'm good, I'm just ganna stay alert for the time being- hey what's that!"

In the center of the room there was a bright light emerging, it grew brighter and brighter with no end to it. Chaos erupted in the room as they only yelled out slurs as it seemed that they cannot do anything about it.

(teleportation magic! How come I could not detect this?!!) Parzival thought with a tightened face

In that moment the bright light stopped as they found themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere.

***

Back in the room where the President and the first Lady was located, the peaceful balance among the people was starting to collapse into chaos as they found out that every guard and knights that was supposed to protect their masters dissappeared in their relaxing area.

As the crowd was in chaos, a person suddenly emerged from thin air as red sparks flew off around him as if he stepped out of a portal. He wore a dark robe that covered his full body and he seemed to have no weapons until he took off his robes which revealed a symbol that striked fear into everyone inside the room.

"I can't believe it you dumb fucks, you really put all your bodyguards on break time into 1 room! This is great! All of you cunts are basically defenseless now! There's practically no one in this room powerful enough to beat me! Holy shit I'm lucky as fuck!" the uninvited guest spoke out with insanity in his tone

(who is he? Thankfully i lowered my presence before he appeared and thank God my husband did the same) Eula thought as she backed off with the rest of the people around her

(well... He seems like a madman and his overall presence is leaking out uncontrollably, he's an S rank at least but... Is he a threat?) Eula carefully thought

(screw the higher ups! They're dumb for not taking this golden opportunity and with this ancient technology I went in here without getting detected... So many influencers here, Kings... Queens... princes, princesses and! The Emperor as well! Will they give me a promotion?! No they'll give me one of the top seats if I slaughter everyone here!) the madman thought with his mad expressions almost conveying what he was thinking

"yep, he's a threat" Eula mumbled as she prapared herself mentally and physically

She was getting old and she couldn't deny the fact that her deteriorating body can't use her full powers without consequences unlike her younger days however she was still around her 40s which is still close to her prime in her 20s so going all out was still very much possible for her.

Even among S ranks there was still ranks among them, for Eula...

(my doctor said I shouldn't try anything but this will only take a split second)

"die!" the madman shouted at the crowd as he prepared two fireballs in each arms to blow up every living creature in the room

Abraham who was more focused on protecting the people behind him, His wife had the opposite idea as she dissappeared without a trace.

The madman who was about to unleash hell upon every innocent lives that was present suddenly felt two soft hands touching his head, one in his chin and the other on top of his head. It made him hesitate a little bit as the hands he felt were incredibly soft and delicate like that of a proper lady but all went to shit as he realized the pressure behind him was at least 20 times more potent and dense than his own mana, even the aura alone gave him the feeling of drowning but not for long as he was about to meet his creator.
