Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 889 Chilling Consequences

?Suddenly, like a flame running on its last fuel source, Orion’s strength gradually depleted. The immense struggle had severely weakened his body, devastating him to the extent that he couldn’t even feel his limbs or maintain his current posture.

Orion bit his tongue and his lips, attempting to shock his body back into consciousness. However, he couldn’t feel any pain. Like rubber breaking apart without any elasticity after being stretched, Orion began to lose consciousness.

Soon, his body began to feel light, the Vylkr energy still coursing through him, and he gradually floated towards the surface.

…….

“Mother, do you think he’ll make it?” Aurora asked, her voice trembling slightly as she kept her eyes fixed on the Divine Lake Essence, waiting for signs of Orion’s return or any indication that he had successfully created his two Vylkr containers and advanced to the next stage.

“If you’re so worried, why didn’t you stop him from trying to create two Vylkr containers? If you had expressed your concerns and reasons to him, I’m sure he would have listened,” Aerialia responded, focusing intently on her daughter.

Aurora shook her head. “Since he came here directly from his manor, he must have informed some of my sisters about his advancement. However, the fact that he was still determined to create two Vylkr containers means they also left the decision to him. So, there’s no reason for me not to do the same and be any different,” she explained.

She momentarily turned her gaze towards Aerialia before continuing, “Besides, Mother, if you had advised him against such a reckless attempt, he would have listened. Yet, you remained silent.”

Hearing Aurora’s response, Aerialia exhaled deeply. “If this were a matter of the ‘hierarchy of powers’ that I am familiar with, I wouldn’t have allowed him to make any reckless attempts. The rules in that region are already fixed, and attempting to break them without a reliable outcome would be foolishness. However, the Vylkr energy is a force capable of shattering the rules and order of the world, including those of the gods.”

“With his star potential, I can envision him surpassing even demigods and divine apostles in the future… So, this is something on which I cannot entirely give my input. If he believes he can, then I believe he will. And if you’re still afraid that he will fail, believe in me, your mother, the goddess of the hunting moon who believes in him. He will succeed; he always has and always will,” she responded, tightening her hands into fists.

Aerialia turned her head towards Aurora after receiving no response for several seconds. However, she saw tears streaming down Aurora’s cheeks, her mouth wide open as she stared forward.

Fear instantly consumed Aerialia’s entire ethereal being as she followed Aurora’s line of sight forward.

Before their eyes, inky strands of Vylkr energy scattered on an area of the surface of the Divine Essence Lake close to their position. They could also see the body of a man with cracked, bloodied skin, glowing with an inky black hue, his entire body blazing with an immense surge of Vylkr energy that served as fuel for the remnants of Vylkr energy around him to burn with intensity.

The young man, however, had his eyes closed, displaying no reaction as his unconscious body floated on top of the Divine Essence Lake.

“ORRIOOONN!!” Aurora screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice resounding across the Garden as she dove into the Divine Essence Lake, swimming towards Orion’s direction.

At that moment, Aerialia immediately snapped out of her daze and soared after her. She caught up to her and immediately took possession of her body, dragging her back toward the shore of the lake.

At that moment, a swarm of Pixie guards and gardeners immediately emerged, filling the surroundings when they heard Aurora’s distraught screams. However, as they understood what was going on, they stood rooted in the air, astounded and shocked at Orion’s strange, bloodied body ablaze with a wave of immense Vylkr energy emerging from him, floating on the surface of the Divine Essence Lake, and the bizarre scene of Aurora fighting with herself.

“LET ME GO––” Aurora screamed at the top of her lungs, tears drenching her cheeks. “Please… mother, let me go,” she added, crying as she gradually calmed down.

It was at this moment that Aerialia immediately released possession of her body. Just when she was about to get up from the ground and race towards Orion again, Aerialia instantly blocked her.

“STOP IT”!! Aerialia ordered, her voice rigid as she stared at Aurora. Shocked by her strict tone, Aurora flinched backwards under her gaze.

“Mo…” Aurora attempted to speak. However, Aerialia immediately interrupted, “He’s not dead yet. If he was, I wouldn’t be here with you right now. So, stay put while I check on his condition. Your body might resist some of the Vylkr energy, but too much will kill you. Wait here until I return.”

Hearing Aerialia’s response, Aurora slowly nodded in understanding. If Orion was alive, then risking her life unnecessarily would be foolish.

Aerialia exhaled deeply, thankful Aurora hadn’t stubbornly insisted on joining her. Without saying another word, Aerialia took off and immediately headed toward Orion’s direction.

As she looked down at his unconscious, pitiful condition, anxiety filled her. Her mind raced with thoughts on how to bring him back to consciousness.

“ORIONNN!!” Aerialia screamed, her voice echoing towards him. She hoped it would be enough to rouse Orion from his slumber. However, it was futile. He remained unresponsive, showing no signs of movement.

Frustrated, Aerialia gritted her teeth in anger. She decided to retreat to the small Crimson Greatsword mark. It was the only safe place where she could contact Orion without being overwhelmed by the immense Vylkr energy.

Immediately, she appeared in an incomprehensible, dark abyss. Below her stretched a smooth, crimson radiant plane resembling liquid blood. She took a deep breath and screamed outwards, “ORIONN!! CAN YOU HEAR ME?” She hoped her voice would penetrate the mark and reach Orion’s consciousness.
