Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes
Chapter 185: Invitation

Chapter 185: Invitation

Nearly three hundred thousand angel corpses had been burned and destroyed.

This had given Atlas the time he needed. Within just one week, every check had been made, and when it was confirmed that there were no angel corpses left on the Epsilon Continent, Atlas began making the necessary preparations.

The first thing he did was summon Iso, who was under Cassandra’s command, and also summon Emma Crocs, who had already sworn allegiance to Atlas, along with the rest of the mage guild, all the way from the capital of the Epsilon Empire.

His first major task would be to organise a ’ball.’ His duty was to summon not only the nobles of the Epsilon Empire, but also the royal families of the Akairon Kingdom, the Bijoux High Elf Kingdom, the Nirdorth Dwarf Kingdom, and many other important regions and their rulers.

In short, Atlas would declare himself the First Duke of the Fourth Duchy of the Epsilon Empire and someone whom all Sages held in high esteem, and he would briefly reveal the truth about angels and demons.

The preparations must have been complete.

Atlas had written each invitation by hand. After writing nearly two hundred invitations, he placed each one in an envelope tailored to different cultures, continents, and regional characteristics, and even sent jewels carved from the Blood Diamond, one of the diamond types he had obtained from the Life Stone dungeon, along with the invitations.

Even just one of these jewels was valuable enough to buy a huge castle. In short, Atlas was trying to act like a very generous person willing to share everything, and he wanted everyone to send him a statement confirming that they had accepted the invitation.

Meanwhile, Cassandra, the woman known as the most beautiful and elegant Sage among all the Sages, had taken on the task of organising the ball.

In short, Cassandra was the one who selected every table, jewel, plant, and even the curtains to be hung and the glassware to be used in the ballroom.

Everything had to be perfect, in every sense of the word.

Emma and the remaining magic knights had managed to reach Shadowfall Palace within a week, and assignments had been made.

Four of the magic knights had been assigned to observe the main streets in different parts of the city, and contrary to expectations, they would only stay for a few months, yet they would receive four hundred gold pieces in just one week.

This was an incredible amount of money for ordinary people. Considering that these four knights were only six-ringed magicians, they would receive more than ten times their own value as payment. And all within a week. For a period of several months.

After Atlas finished the invitations, he sent each one out, and the responses began to come in one by one.

The first response, of course, came from the nobles of the Epsilon Empire.

Many nobles, including the Imperial Family, would attend. Among them were notable figures such as Bhagholir Herria, Duke of the Dwarf Duchy; Miholir Restie, Duke of the Elf Duchy; and Akali Fembe, Duchess of the Human Duchy.

The next response came directly from the High Elf Queen Thalia Bijoux, who had conveyed to Atlas that the entire royal family would attend the ball.

Following this, Leo Akairon and Crown Prince William Akarion of the Kingdom of Akairon sent a proclamation to Shadowfall Palace via the meeting sphere, stating that they would be attending.

Of the members of the Bloom Imperial Family, the main empire of the Western Continent, only Aster Bloom would be attending the ball. The sole reason for this was that Camellya Bloom was still under her family’s supervision and continuing her education as the future Empress.

The king of the Great Dwarf Kingdom of Nirdorth had openly expressed his gratitude for the invitation and accepted it, stating that he would arrive on the second day of the ball.

Vampire Duke Sullivan had specifically stated that he would come with a High-Vampire envoy sent to Shadowfall Palace and had clearly indicated that he would bring his daughters Lucia, Lisa, and Lyra with him.

Finally, there was news from Eva. Atlas had prepared the most special invitation for his sister. Eva, of course, would follow Aether. After all, Eva was still under Aether’s protection.

With a few nobles of varying ranks, everything was in order. Now it was time for Cassandra to showcase her skills.

Atlas finally went to bed after a long day of work and lay down, resting his head on the pillow.

He closed his eyes and was about to take a little rest when he suddenly heard a knock on the window. When he opened his eyes to see what was happening, he saw his copy standing on the balcony.

"Amon," Atlas said suddenly, and without hesitation, he got up and opened the balcony door. As soon as Amon entered, he transformed back into his cat form and jumped into Atlas’ arms.

When Atlas caught Amon, he noticed a note tied around his neck and smiled, saying, "Good job, Amon."

When he took the note and opened it, he frowned and muttered, "Bastards!"

[Dear Atlas Shorekeeper,

My name is Lynx, and I am the leader of the information guild in Orion, the capital of the Epsilon Empire. We noticed your Summons when they entered the capital and were able to understand the problem to some extent. After a brief investigation, we managed to find out where the girl you were looking for was. Through this investigation, we learned that the devil-worshippers on the continent are still active, and despite being on the verge of extinction and suffering a blow due to the capture of one of their leaders, they continue to target young girls in particular.

We hope you will come to the information guild soon.

Lynx.]

After reading the note, Atlas was truly filled with rage. Despite everything, the fact that those who worshipped demons were still able to continue their activities did nothing but drive Atlas mad.
