Within this large room, there were two rows of tall stone pillars on either side, similar to the audience hall in the Yellow Dragon Temple, extending forward and leading to a large door.
The floor of this room is covered with red carpet. A large crystal lamp hung above.
At a glance, this place was almost like the place of the coronation ceremony, giving the feeling that this was where the Emperor gave the order.
In this room, there were several doors that were each connected to a passageway. Ryan himself entered through one of the passageways.
At the same time, countless Rinne also appeared from the rest of the door, blocking the door that Ryan was about to turn to..
Seeing all this, Ryan stopped his steps.
At the same time, the Rinne soldiers also stopped. Seeing the target in front of them, the Rinne immediately surrounded him.
"..."
Tension began to seep and filled the entire room.
Ryan watched as Rinne surrounded him. Shortly after, he lifted his head.
In front of the troops blocking Ryan's destination door, stood a tall monster figure that was very different from the surrounding Rinne.
The two-meter-tall monster has a shape resembling a triangular horned beetle.
This beetle monster stands on two legs and has two hands like humans. Only, his head is a beetle. His body also looks very sturdy, strong, and powerful.
The strands of red crystal balls hung on the humanoid beetle monster's neck.
An extremely powerful aura flowed from the body of that humanoid beetle monster and instantly covered the troops standing around it.
There was no doubt, that humanoid beetle monster was a Crimson Lord.
Moreover, based on Ryan's observations, his combat strength was quite good, at least not weaker than Crimson Lord Friagne.
Of course, such a Crimson Lord being here was a natural thing. Bal Masque was a large and powerful organization, so they definitely had many Crimson Lords as its members.
Shortly after, in this vast room, the voice of the humanoid beetle monster sounded. "I'm the Wanderers, Ribesal!"
It was a deep and honest sounding voice. Even so, the voice of the Crimson Lord named Ribesal could shake the air throughout the room.
Ribesal then lowered his head. Although the Beetle's vision is not very clear, Ribesal can clearly see Ryan's body. He looked at Ryan with a look of contempt.
"Are you the human who was captured by Bel Peol-sama?"
Hearing this, Ryan blinked his eyes.
In Bal Masque, membership in the organization is divided into four classes, with their respective duties.
Waches, it was the class tasked with guarding the Seireiden from outside attacks.
Jaegers, that's the class responsible for detecting, stalking and tracking prey targets.
Wanderers, it is a class tasked with fighting, capturing, and killing targets.
While Herolds, is a class for Crimson Denizen non-fighters whose job is to channel information from one place to another.
On Ryan's arrest mission, Fecor, the Manager has ordered the Jaegers and Wanderers to arrest him.
The same goes for Wanderers. They have a strong fighting force. And the members of this class were usually filled by the Crimson Lord.
Because Jaegers usually do not have strong fighting abilities, they will be paired with Wanderers in completing a mission.
But for Ryan, that doesn't matter. Whether it was the Wanderers or not, as long as the opponent was the Crimson Lord, then Ryan would not hesitate to fight them seriously.
“I don't know why Bel Peol-sama is holding a human like you here. Wouldn't it be better to swallow you up directly than to catch you back?”
Ribesal said in a very impatient voice, "And also, for the sake of just catching a human like you, I who just returned from the mission must come looking for you. This is so annoying!”
Ribesal was very angry about this. His loud and heavy voice, vibrating the air around him, made the nearby Rinne tremble in fear.
Ribesal, who had just returned today, suddenly had orders to find and capture a human. It is only natural that he is very angry.
Moreover, to the Rinne and Crimson Denizen, humans were only a source of food as well as extremely weak beings.
So, after Ribesal grumbled loudly, without seeing Ryan, he waved his hand.
At the same time, the Rinne in the room immediately lined up to form several roads that connected with the entrance to this room. They lined up neatly like a group of royal soldiers who lined up to welcome the arrival of the noble group.
From these doors, one by one enter Crimson Denizen with various forms. There are those who look like humans, some are half animals, and so on. Such creatures, walking forward past Rinne's troops who had lined up neatly.
The Crimson Denizen was clearly from the Wanderers class.
However, unlike Ribesal, they did not have a strong enough aura. You could say they were not a Crimson Lord, but an ordinary Crimson Denizen.
Unfortunately, the Crimson Denizen who had just entered was also looking down on Ryan. They all stared at Ryan with contemptuous eyes, as if the human in front of them was just a small insect that was easy to step on.
They then talked to each other in a dismissive tone.
"This is the first time I've used a weak human as my opponent."
"Hey, is it true that humans are our opponents?"
"It's a joke really."
"As long as I open my mouth, that human will definitely swallow me straight away."
"Unfortunately we can't do it. Mr. Manager ordered us to capture him alive."
The sound of ridicule was heard from all directions.
However, Ryan was not at all offended or angry. He smiled with all of this.
Not caring for Ryan's strange expression, Ribesal shouted, "Hey, you guys are just in! I need one person to come forward and bring the human body to me!"
Ribesal assumed that to catch Ryan, he did not need to intervene directly. To him, a Crimson Lord like himself was not worth soiling his hands for little things like this.
As soon as Ribesal's voice fell, another voice responded to Ribesal's command. "Let me catch and teach that weak human a lesson!"
The voice came from a Crimson Denizen in the form of an Orang Utan with a body higher than Ribesal.
Arrogantly, Crimson Denizen laughed and walked slowly towards Ryan as if he had confirmed his victory.
When the Crimson Denizen of Orang Utan form arrived in front of Ryan, without hesitation he immediately swung his hand.
