Chapter 914 I Am Not His Babysitter
“So you went to Agartha to help this girl who bears the curse of Misfortune’s Beloved?” Aur asked.
“Yes,” Lux replied. “Her name is Aurora, and she is a very pitiful girl.”
“Aurora?” Aur narrowed his eyes. “Is she beautiful?”
“She is,” Lux swiftly replied, although he was a bit taken aback, not expecting the Dragon Prince to ask him such a question.
“I see,” Aur’s tone suddenly turned cold. “Lucky her.”
“No. She’s very unlucky. Didn’t I just tell you that she is Misfortune’s Beloved?”
“What a lucky girl she is.”
“…Are you even listening to me?”
Aur ignored Lux’s question and simply sipped his tea. When he finished his cup, he glanced at the Half-Elf and asked him another question.
“So you rescued this girl named Aurora from the Pantheon of Exile?”
Lux shook his head. “Something happened before I could do so, so I was forced to abandon my mission.”
“Does this something have to do with the Black Hole that appeared in the Gate of the Apocalypse?”
“Yes. You see, my two fiances were victims of that incident, and I decided to return as fast as I can in order to help rescue them from the Abyss.”
A resounding crack reverberated inside the room as several cracks appeared in Aur’s tea cup.
Fortunately, it didn’t break, and the Dragon Prince calmly returned it on top of the table before looking at the Half-Elf in disbelief.
“Fiances?” Aur asked. “You are betrothed to two women?”
Lux nodded. “Didn’t you know?”
“I didn’t,” Aur replied.
A few seconds later, Lux suddenly felt that the temperature of the room was getting lower, which made him wonder if Aur’s room had a hidden air conditioner somewhere.
However, since Aur asked him to share his stories, he decided to tell him about his adventures in the Abyss.
The more he told the Dragon Prince what happened, the colder the room got.
“That Queen is so ruthless. She XXX me, intending to absorb my powers and make my rank regress.” Lux shook his head helplessly. “She almost got her way. Fortunately, the situation was reversed and I XXX’ed her until she called me Daddy.”
“… I see,” Aur replied and the table was suddenly covered by a layer of ice. “Then what happened next?”
“Um, in the end, we negotiated with her since we really don’t have a way to fight against a Demigod,” Lux answered in a serious tone. “If we failed the negotiation, then I might have become one of her playthings, and one of my fiances would have turned into a Succubus. It was really a very dangerous gamble.”
“So you managed to win the gamble and struck a deal with her. I don’t know if I should praise you or kil— congratulate you for reaching a compromise with a Demigod. What happened next?”
“We XXX some more until I could no longer do it. Aren’t I amazing?”
“… Scum.”
Aur suddenly stood up and unleashed a Dragon Breath at Lux turning him into a crystal statue.
He then left the room in a bad mood and closed the door with a bang.
A few seconds later, Lux broke free from the Crystal that covered his body and looked at the destroyed door with confusion.
He then picked up his tea cup and drank all of its contents before placing it back on the table.
“Was that too stimulating for him?” Lux scratched his head. “Maybe Dragons don’t mature early.”

Inside the Throne Room of the Crystal Palace…
“Your request is rejected,” Lady Augustina said in a calm tone. “Lux is under my asylum, and as long as he is within my territory, you may touch him, but you must be able to bear the consequences.”
“And what if he is outside of your territory, Your Excellency?” the High King of Lunaria asked. “Does your protection extend outside of your borders?”
“No,” Lady Augustina replied.
“Does that mean that if we try to capture him outside of your domain, you won’t get in our way?” the Oracle inquired.
“That is correct,” Lady Augustina answered.
The Oracle nodded. “Then we have an understanding, Your Excellency. As the representative of the Divine Army of Light, we will not attack the Lux Von Kaizer inside your Domain. However, if we spot him outside, we will not hesitate to make our move. I hope that you can abide by this agreement.”
“I am not his babysitter,” Lady Augustina commented. “As long as you do not make any moves within my territory, you can do anything you want.”
The Oracle and the High King of Lunaria exchanged glances and nodded at the same time.
“Thank you for the clarification, Your Excellency,” the Oracle said. “We will no longer waste your time. Thank you for gracing us with your presence.”
The Oracle and the High King bowed their heads respectfully before leaving the throne room with steady steps.
Piccoro, who was standing beside Lady Augustina, scoffed when the two Saints were finally out of sight.
“These Humans are so annoying. Can’t they just take a hint and not bother us again?”
Lady Augustina smiled before glancing at the arrogant Dragon Born beside her.
“Diplomacy and politics are what prevents war from happening, Piccoro,” Lady Augustina commented. “But sometimes, those who have the power only wish to expand their Domains or get better treatment from others. As much as I don’t want to admit this, the Divine Army of Light also plays a crucial role in the world.”
Piccoro snorted. “Are you talking about their Apostle Project? That blasphemous experiment to turn ordinary mortals into High-Rankers and Saints? They are going against the natural order of things, and the only excuse they can give is that it is for the greater good? Such rubbish!”
“Perhaps,” Lady Augustina nodded. “But Piccoro, you also felt it, didn’t you? You can smell its stench again, right?”
The arrogant Dragon Born quieted down and simply crossed his arms over his chest.
Lady Augustina leaned on her throne and sighed. “Everyday, I can smell the stench of the Abyss, and it is getting stronger. The last time this happened was over a hundred years ago, and you already know what transpired during that time.”
“The Abyssal Invasion,” Piccoro commented. “Is this why you and that Fake King have turned a blind eye to the Divine Army’s blasphemous experiments?”
Lady Augustina closed her eyes. A few minutes of silence passed before she opened them again, and the words she said next made Piccoro shut his mouth.
“We lost many Supremes and Demigods in the previous war,” Lady Augustina said softly. “And yet, the power of the Abyss continues to grow. You’ve already been there and witnessed their power. Even if that Succubus Queen does not join the next war, she mentioned that the other Abyssal Lords would certainly make their move.
“Piccoro, I’m afraid that if another war breaks out, all the races of this world will be unable to push them back unlike what we had done over a hundred years ago.”
Piccoro no longer said anything and simply looked at the ceiling.
After talking to the Succubus Queen during their stay in the Abyss, the Dragon Born discovered that the current number of Layers in the Abyss was 666.
However, Queen Rhiannon insisted that in another hundred years, another layer will appear, for that was the nature of the Abyss.
Always expanding without end.
According to her, there were hundreds of battle-ready Demigods who were only waiting for an opportunity to cross over to their world.
This didn’t include the thousands of Calamity-Ranked Monsters that lived within the deepest levels of the Abyss.
This was why Lady Augustina and the current Dragon King didn’t hesitate to help close the Abyssal Gate that appeared within the territory of the Divine Army of Light.
Their world wasn’t ready yet for another invasion, and those who stood at the Apex of Elysium believed that if another war were to break out…
It would be their end.
