Darius Supreme

Miranda followed Darius\'s commands and did just that. He made her fire up her second satellite in this period of time, and now that the last battle was at hand, Miranda rushed up a third satellite that was launched as well. 

With this coverage and computing power, there should be much she could do. Darius could not help her here because he needed to wash his hands off the metal army in the eyes of the public, while Gunner was handling Fallon very easily. 

He had already steamrolled through the majority of the northern bits, and would soon be encountering the true powerhouses, armed with countless Grandmasters near the middle and towards the south. 

That was where the real battle would be fought. Since both Miranda and Gunner were on the cusp of serious battles, Darius decided to take a break from his work and check on Luna. 

The Moon Elf was training seriously, working on the three new skills that Darius had given her. He checked on her progress in terms of stats and skills.

Darius was satisfied with her progress, but noted that her level was slowing her down. While the True Supreme System allowed for organic growth, it was still a level/exp based system, so one could only raise their levels through such. 

As for Luna\'s stats, it was tough to raise stats through mere training once you surpassed 1,000 points. Gunner\'s stats had only gone up because he was constantly drinking 100% concentrated Lunar Dew as if it was water. 

The Moon Elf noticed Darius and immediately appeared before him like a ghost, down on one knee. 

"Luna, you have done well with your training. It\'s now time for your first assignment. Go to the Kingdom of Favelia near the south, and eliminate all the nobles within.  Spare those under the age of 18, but all those above are to die." Darius spoke calmly. 

Luna responded. "I hear and obey, Master." 

She then disappeared from Darius\' sight, heading to the fifth level in order to use the portal there to make a one-way trip to Favelia. As for Darius, since he was here, he decided to check on his Apprentices as well. 

He summoned them to the first level, where they obediently gathered and sat on their mats as they gazed at their master with reverence and adoration. Darius smiled and observed them.

It had been more than 6 months since Gunner had conquered Fraterina and about 7 months since these lads had become Journeymen. In such a short period of time, they had already reached the halfway point of their stage with minimal help from Darius or Gunner, and their stats had grown beautifully. 

Not just that, but each of them had chosen to learn the Material element after they had reached the next stage knowing that their Master had been the one the discover it. They had created many spell in their various elements over this period of time, with much help from Miranda\'s increased calculating capacity. 

(Author\'s note: Remember, it took Darius so long to create spells in the Test of Mettle because he did not have Miranda to reduce the time consumption. With the current Miranda, Darius could spit out a spell every half week if he went crazy.) 

Darius was quite proud of their achievements, especially since their spells were not like those other Journeymen from Andrato which had been full of flaws. Their spells had been perfectly functional upon release and did not possess any backlash for the user. 

After lecturing them a bit, Darius decided to leave his Mage Tower and enter Safemoon. He wanted to accomplish two things today. The first was to check out how the Mage Academy of Safemoon had been faring and the second was to seek out those who could become his arms and legs of the Material element, making money for him from the entirety of Faust. 

Darius entered the Inner City and noticed that it had become much tenser and less occupied. He then remembered that the reason for this was his own order to pressure the Citizens into leaving voluntarily or dispose of them quietly, so he could rather fill it up with beings created by his hands and given Soul Nourishing Lunar Dew. 

Such fellows could be brainwashed from the ground up to be loyal to him, and it would carry down to their offspring. Why then would he bother with outsiders who had their own history, their own goals, and their own beliefs to muck up his city? 

It seemed whatever methods Jorge and co used were very effective. There were, of course, those stubborn ones who would grit their teeth and bear it, not willing to give up the benefits. 

Rather than force them, Darius opted to give them a social death. He would flood this place with his creations the moment he was done with his short break. If every one of his people, who would make up more than 90% of the place, ignored those who were stubborn or treated them coldly, who would want to stay? 

Not to mention that if they were bullied, law enforcement would not help them, but rather aggravate things. 

To be honest, Darius felt that someone who could stomach all that and stay deserved a fair chance to work under him for such tenacity was not a joke, nor was it common. 

He finally arrived before the huge Mage Academy of Safemoon, and noticed that it was quite busy. Many older parents were bringing their youths over to the gate, ready to admit them. 

Obviously, this meant that admissions were open once again, meaning that some of these kids would be taken in and nurtured to become powerful mages or warriors, while others would have to leave in dejection. 

Darius looked out of place as he casually walked through the gates, but how would these parents react if they knew that he was the Lord of Safemoon?
