Strongest Grimoire Of The Gods

Chapter 157: Judgement



Hundreds of people stood outside of a large marquee in what seemed like a townsquare.

There were adobe-like stone structures surrounding the tent, much of the architecture still heavily damaged from the battle with Black.

Despite this, the people of the Zasean city looked to be in a trance of preoccupation with the marquee before them.

"Right now? You're saying all of them are in there right now?"

"I haven't actually seen them in real life before..."

"Tyr Evolion... thats the name of him... right? The one who saved us..."

Murmurs sparked like calm embers surrounding the entrance of the marquee.

Inside; Tyr, Noa, Malon, and Hanzo all stood before a small table, behind which sat a man who didn't look a second over 35 years old.

To the sides of the marquee stood many Zasean soldiers with spears in hand and heads facing the ceiling, rough expressions donning their faces. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e'm-p| y r

"What you have done for us... we can not thank you more, Tyr." The man said with a tone of genuine gratitude.

His eyes glanced over at the rest of the Hunter group, "Hanzo, Malon, Noa... I extend this thanks to all of you."

For a moment, there was silence. The three simply stared at the man before them with bold smiles on their faces.

And then, Tyr spoke: "He says he wants to thank all of you as well."

A resounding "Ohh" sounded from the trio.

Noa chuckled, "Of course, it was the least we could do."

Tyr translated everything his group said to the new Lrax.

Hanzo spoke: "We appreciate the kind words."

Malon finished, wiping the bottom of his nose with a finger as his smile refused to leave his face, "No problem... no need to thank us... hehe."

That was a bit weird to translate for Tyr, but he still did it, despite how awkward he sounded...

In the end, all five in the center of the tent had a good laugh.

"My apologies... I should speak in a language all of you can hopefully understand." The Lrax exclaimed in the mostly universal language of Subworld language that everyone could understand, slightly guilty.

"Now..." Tyr spoke, "I believe its time for us to go. I also thank you for your hospitality... but we need to move on now."

The Lrax exhaled deeply as he heard this, "Before that... there is one last thing I would like to say. This is not from me, but rather, it is an order by a higher court."

Tyr and the other three exchanged short, slightly confused glances with each other.

The Lrax continued: "This is a decree from not only the Ovalantis Supreme Magistrate... but the Ainsveld Supreme Tribunal, consisting of all empires within the continent..."

The tone in the room shifted slightly as these words were spoken.

Tyr's expression became more serious as he remained silent and allowed the Lrax to continue.

"Before that, however... I need to know one thing first. Your Hunter Squad name, what is it? It doesn't seem to exist in the records." The Lrax paused for a short moment, looking over at Hanzo.

"Unless... is it still Ultimatum? Your old squad name, right?"

"No." Hanzo simply stated, his gaze unwavering and calm.

'Hmm...' The Lrax mused to himself, 'He is lucky... it seems he has already moved on from them, and no longer has any ulterior feelings even when asked about them to make him lower his head slightly. Good for him, that he found people he could get comfortable with again...'

After that, the Lrax eyes remained on Hanzo.

However, Hanzo faced Tyr instead. So did Noa, and Malon.

Although it was undecided, everyone already subconsciously knew for some reason that Tyr was the leader of this group, and also the one who should have the right to choose the name.

Noa thought to herself, 'Tyr is the one that keeps this team together and stronger like glue. He is the leader...'

Malon had similar thoughts, 'Tyr... what will you say?'

Hanzo smiled slightly: "Go on, captain. This has been your decision from the very beginning."

He paused, Tyr staring at him with a slightly confused look on his face.

"You remember, right?" Hanzo smirked, "You said back then when Ultimatum was disbanded... that you had a name already in mind."

Tyr paused before speaking: "Oh that? Hmm... that was a lie. I just wanted to get back to you." He chuckled.

"Huh!?" Hanzo exclaimed, slightly irritated at hearing that.

"But now that I think about it... there doesn't need to be much thinking when it comes to a name for this squad. Hunter group or not, I think we should be called this from now on..." As Tyr said this, all eyes in the room faced him, and all ears perked up with anticipation.

'A name based on truth... and justice. Things that set one free... and things that give anyone solace and satisfaction.' Tyr thought to himself for a final time before announcing the group name:

"Judgement... that will be our name."

The eyes of all those staring at Tyr widened slightly with surprise and awe as they heard those words.

Slight smiles appeared on the faces of all of Tyr's teammates, while the Lrax seemed to be taken aback with confusion at that daunting name.

'J-judgement? I have no clue what the meaning behind it is...' He looked over at the other three, 'They seem to be clued in... tsk. I don't want to seem like a fool here who is the only one to not understand it.'

"Judgement? I see... a fearsome name indeed. Care to tell us why? Im sure not everyone from your team understands it fully--" The Lrax was cut short.

"No... we do." Hanzo said, "We don't need an explanation. That is the perfect name in my book."

The Lrax looked over at Malon and Noa, who nodded in agreeance.

'Tsk!' The Lrax exclaimed inwardly before putting on a fake smile.

"I see... anyways, its a very fitting name. I congratulate you all on officially founding your Hunter Squad. Now... it is time for me to reveal why I needed that information."

Everyone looked at the Lrax again before the man spoke:

"Your squad, more specifically, the one that Tyr Evolion is a part of, is invited to the Royal Capital of Ovalantis. The reason for this calling is...

an event hosted at your honor, Judgement." The Lrax faced all of the members of the newly formed Hunter squad as he spoke: "A grand gesture of gratitude that the continent would like to show you for your recent acts of eliminating a very prominent problem within this land."

This news fell onto the shoulders of the members of Judgement like a mountain. They were taken aback in shock and confusion.

The Lrax finished his statement: "You all are invited to a banquet thrown in your name... and it is tomorrow."
