The fairy, taking a moment to collect her thoughts, addressed the lieutenant''s role and the apparentck ofmunication about Ty''s whereabouts. "Yes, actually, but uh, if you''re his mentor, shouldn''t they tell you where or when they move him? Seems a little rude not to do so?"


    Lt Daemon nodded in agreement, his expression turning slightly grim. "Yeah, that makes sense. But, by ''they,'' I mean the King''s game master, General Omina, and a few others. So, they have full control over them, as if they were livestock."


    The fairy''s mood seemed to dampen at the realization, her head dropping a bit. "I see…"


    "But beyond that, don''t worry about it. It''s not the first time she has done this, so I''ve quite be ustomed to having to track down my candidate, if you will. But what else did he need you to do?" Lt Daemon inquired, shifting the conversation back to the tasks at hand.


    "Oh, well, he had a secret message for JJ and wanted me to find someone really, really strong that wears a blue shirt and pass him a message," the fairy exined, detailing the other parts of her mission entrusted by Ty.


    "Oh, a secret message, how secret are we talking about?" Lt Daemon''s curiosity was piqued, his eyes fixed on the fairy for a response.


    Feeling the weight of his gaze, the fairy scrambled for an answer that might appease him without revealing too much. "He-He wants to say some lovey-dovey stuff, it''s really not worth going into detail," she stammered, hoping the vague answer would suffice.


    Lt Daemon''s expression turned skeptical. "Really now? I didn''t expect that from him. I thought he would just use her to get what he wants, like I nned for him."


    Panic briefly flickered through the fairy''s mind as she realized her cover might not be as solid as she hoped. "Y-Yes! That''s what he meant," she eximed, a bit too loudly. "I didn''t get it at first, but I think he was trying to say it nicely because he mentioned it would help with funding!"


    Lt Daemon''s features softened into a smirk, seemingly convinced by her frantic exnation. "Good, that demon boy is good for nning after all. And what did he want with the strongest blue shirt?"


    The fairy, relieved that her improvised story held up, continued cautiously, "Well, it was a bit secretive, but okay. He told me to tell the strongest that there is a traitor among him and to trust the red-eyed Demon!" Her message delivered, she hoped her words would carry the weight and urgency that Ty intended.


    The lieutenant''s eyes widened at the mention of Ty''s strategy. "And why would he try such a ploy like this?"


    Wrestling with theplexity of the answer, the fairy responded, "W-well, he thinks that the fact I''m a fairy means I''m not very well-known. In his words, ''I all did was sleep during big moments, so people still don''t know me, and I can y it off that I''m some deity.''"


    Lt Daemon, deep in thought, ced a finger under his chin. "This could work, but if you''re looking for the strongest, you won''t find him here. He''s about 5 miles west of the water, training in the woodlines. Everyone here thinks training this close is a waste of energy anyways."


    Curiosity piqued, the fairy inquired further, "Oh, and who is that?"


    "That would be Jui-Lao. Though he is considered the strongest going in from this area, rumors say Bulrock, who is just arriving, is the strongest. But rumors are rumors," exined Lt Daemon, shedding light on the hierarchy and the rumors swirling around the contenders.


    "I would start by giving this message to Jui-Lao regardless, because his influence carries more than rumors," he advised, considering the strategy at y.


    "Just make sure you don''t give yourself away, or he might squash you. Also, a few people know you''re some... ''fairy'' creature or thing and you''ve traveled with the Demon Boy. So, do try to make your visit fast,"


    "Sounds like a n!" Clenching her tiny fist, she zoomed off toward the open field as Lt Daemon tried to call out to her, "Wait… I didn''t mention JJ…"


    As she flew down the coastline of the ocean, she thought to herself, "How should I make an entrance? I feel like I should do something really cool." "Hmm," she stated aloud as she flew straight forward for 15 minutes untiling across a vast expanse of trees and a mile-wide radius of circles where ity barren with dead grass and stumps of trees.


    "Woah," as she flew, she noticed the guy she encountered back during the ''show off your stuff'' and stated aloud, "Perfect, there he is," as she noticed he was punching a tree endlessly, and from afar she saw a red liquid dripping from his hands.


    "Oh wow, he''s really working hard," she observed, marveling at his intensity as she drew closer, dimming her light. She watched him sweat profusely and pant heavily, his fists relentlessly meeting the tree.


    With a snap of her fingers, the fairy soared high into the sky, stirring the wind around her. Jui paused his assault on the tree, ncing over his shoulder, then sighed and prepared to strike again—until a soft voice caught his attention.


    "Lowly Mortal, bow your head!"


    Confused, Jui looked up to spot a spiral-like creature silhouetted against the sun. "Uh, who—who are you?" he asked, his confusion evident.


    "I—I am the great Titanis Fairy, assistant to the Titan Goddess, and I have been instructed to bring you a message, you who have been decided to be the strongest!" she proimed, trying to muster as much authority as she could.


    To emphasize her divine connection, sheunched water from her hands, creating a perfect arc between them, hoping to convince Jui of her legitimacy and the importance of her message.


    You look a little familiar I think are you –


    The fairy cut him off and shouted, "Bow your head least you want your entire family Linegae to suffer!"
