Unusual world 43 Strange Turn of Events Part 2

His rise was as glorious as a shooting star he stole the amulet of aurora an Item that holds knowledge personal inscribed by a fallen god, managed to transcend the limits of his power and kill a rank 4 cataclysm when he was only rank 3 a feet never before recorded in history, ripped out the oracles right eye which he now wears around his neck, the expanded the area in which we inhabit, and obtained the shattered scepter of Anubis.

"There are things for which a person could admire and fear The King of Beggars, transcend his limits and killing a rank 4 would have been enough to scare a person making them fully consider you a threat including me. The difference between ranks is not simply a lower rank mage could usually never beat a higher rank one especially when the battle is between a rank 3 and 4 the difference between the two is massive. Since such a person even bothered to send an envoy to a lowly rank 3 magi it could only be for one thing."

Nisus took a second to think then he straightened his back regaining his composure " you may guide the messenger in".

The secretary bowed again then left the room returning soon with a hooded rat the size of a human.

Nisus wasn't shaken by the envoy's appearance he already knew that the King of Beggars constantly subjugated the ratmen. The ratmen are a cynical race that is ruled only by the strongest in their group.

How the King of Beggars managed to make a race of self serving giant rats that have no qualms with killing another one of there own simple for not moving out of the way fast enough is unknown to everyone.

Why he did it that's an easy question the ratmen have an innate ability at birth to manipulate poison and spread disease in addition to there high birth rate. They are the last kind of enemy a nation's army would want to fight because they would end up sick from a sudden plague as they are drowned by a sea of rats.

The ratman approached Nisus while the secretary left the room the ratman's arms hanged out of his cloak in front of him having his sharp claws in full view. His whiskers twitched constantly as he sniffed around the room the raman stopped inspecting the room when he arrived in front of Nisus.

"Greetings lord Nisus Bel my name is skern one of The King of Beggars messengers I am here to collect half of the souls that you obtained a few weeks ago on behalf of The King of Beggars. Hand them over to me quickly right now so I may be on my way". The ratman squeaked ever now and again as he spoke bluntly.

Nisus wasn't insulted by the ratman's lack of etiquette the whole ratmen race is known for how impolite they are "Skern while I am pleased to know I have something that can interest someone as great as the King of Beggars the thing he wants is not mine to give away. If he wishes to obtain some of the souls in my possession he will have to speak with the chairman of the Eclipse Association". Nisus stayed as polite as possible to the ratman even though it was at rank 3 like him he knew he could easily kill him if he needed to. The only reason he stayed polite was out of fear of accidentally insulting the person he represents.

The ratman snickered as it squeaked "Your chairman has already agreed to loan out half of the souls in your possession so hand them over". Skern extended his paw waiting to receive the souls Nisus had.

Nisus raised his eyebrow after what the ratman said "the chairman already agreed, but I haven't received any reply from him confirming this"

"That's because The King of Beggars and your chairman finished making the deal 5 minutes ago.

When the ratman finished speaking Nisus felt a rise of energy behind him it was coming from the crystal ball on his desk meant for long range communication. Nisus approached it then he placed his hand on it. He only had his hand on the ball for a few seconds, but it was enough to have a full conversation with his chairman.

Nisus turned around to look at the ratman "Alright I will get you half the souls now return to the lobby I'll be there in a few minutes". The ratman didn't make a fuss about being asked to wait in the lobby he just sneezed shook himself a little then left.

Velar turned to Nisus wanting to question him "what did the King of Beggars offer to make the chairman give up half of the souls we have".

"I don't know, but apparently were only letting him barrow half so we will get them back whenever the King of Beggars is finished with what he has to do. It's not just use who is doing this the King of Beggars has apparently approached everyone who has these special souls in there possession".

"what do you think he could want them all for such these souls while special shouldn't interest a rank 6 that much?"

Nisus closed his eyes as he began to think "I heard a rumor that he was trying to advance so maybe he believes the key to his advancement is hidden with these souls".

Velar was a bit speechless he had no idea what it took to advance to rank 7 the same for ranks 5 and 6 since the amount of rank 7s walking around could be counted on a person's hand it gave a clear indication of the mountain the King of Beggars was trying to scale.

While Velar was standing there in thought Nisus had already teleported to the Eclipse Association's vault and brought back what he needed. Only Nisus and Velar have the ability to teleport around the Eclipse Association's tower because they hold the highest authority anyone else that tries would be automatically attached by the mage tower.

Nisus than went to the lobby where the ratman was waiting while holding a rainbow orb that kept changing color. It contained half the souls Velar and his squad had collected but of the souls that contained a plane coordinate just as his chairman instructed. He hanged the orb to the ratman who inspected it and left without saying anything.

When the ratman left Nisus sighed " this is exactly what gave me that headache all the powerhouses in the world are moving in the background and I don't even have the rite to know until its to late".
