Will of chaos

Pov Athena:

“(He wasn’t in the port city, he wasn’t in the underground city and he wasn’t in the cities around it, how does someone disappear like that?)” (I)

“Ma’am, I have received word of his whereabouts.” (Darius)

Darius rushes through my bedroom door, we’re in a small town in disguised as Demons.

“What did you find?” (I)

“A Vampire merchant was passing by to buy wares in this city before continuing his journey, I heard him talking about a Vampire with dark skin, red hair, and eyes of different colors with a youthful appearance who lost a lot of money in a casino in the City of Blood.” (Darius)

With that description, there’s no mistake, but I’m worried that the place where he is is exactly the place I’d least want to go.

“Damn, what are we going to do now…” (I)

“What should we do? Go to the City of Blood?” (Darius)

“We can’t go there, Viviane the ruler there has incredible powers of perception that she shares with all her bloodlines, for that reason no one dares to spy on that place.” (I)

“All we can do is hang around waiting for him to leave town.” (I)

“But what if he doesn’t come out?” (Darius)

“Everything indicates that he is traveling around the continent aimlessly, all the places he has been going do not form a path that shows any clear objective, for this reason, we were not able to anticipate as we do not know where he will go next.” (I)

“Worst case we’ll have to use the Priests to find him.” (I)

“Go warn the others, let’s leave now.” (I)

“Yea.” (Darius)

———–

After Darius left I activated the sound barrier item, then I pull the crystal from my necklace that I always keep hidden inside my clothes.

“How much time do we have?” (I)

“(Don’t worry too much, I might be weak but I’m fine, I was lucky to keep my conscience.)”

“I’m more concerned with the false Hero’s soul.” (I)

“(Okay, I rescued the soul before the idiot that Heretic God who betrayed me could destroy it, but it still needs a body.)”

“It will have to wait, if we free this soul now then the God of Light will take it, it would be very sad that even in death it would still be just a tool.” (I)

“(Anything is better than essence extinction, I can help for a few months, but it can’t last more than 1 year.)”

“Soon we’ll find him, just keep that soul safe.” (I)

He hides very well, I wonder why he came to this continent or why travels so randomly, none of this makes sense, what will be his objective?

Pov Lara:

Staying on this continent is horrible, I thought I wouldn’t feel that again since we left the Morror Continent, but I didn’t imagine I would have to return so soon.

“Madam, did you send for us?”

“Yes, the day when the two full moons will happen is near, besides the ritual is almost ready.” (I)

“The time has come for you to go get her.” (I) .

“I hear and obey the High Priestess.”

“Have you been following in her footsteps?” (I)

“Yes, my pack has been following her since she arrived on the mainland right now she is in the forbidden land of the undead.”

“Because she’s there, that place is very dangerous for a Ki user, especially someone who doesn’t have adequate elemental affinities to fight Undead.” (I)

“After they left the City of Blood, my youngest son went to speak with Queen Viviane, it seems they are on a mission to rescue the Blood Demons.”

“Something happened to the Blood Demons, I knew their previous Queen, I challenged her to combat many years ago in my youth.” (I)

“The only information I have was from Queen Viviane, it seems that the hundreds of Blood Demons still present on this continent were taken by someone with still ulterior motives.”

Anyone who captures a Blood Demon alive probably plans some kind of sacrificial ritual, but I’m worried about where they are.

“Wait for them to get out of there, our God has made that place a no-go area for us just like many other religions have done the same.” (I)

“Then I will personally meet them and await their departure from the forbidden lands.”

I turn to the 4 meter tall, two-tailed gray Wolf that brought me to this continent a few months ago, I look at him running through the air until he’s out of sight.

“I hope I can meet you soon, my dear daughter…” (I)

Pov of an idiot:

I’m entering the Black Empire dungeon, I’m sure he’s here, as soon as I free him I’ll get the location of that item I’m going to use to marry the Queen.

“(I will have the most beautiful woman by my side on the throne that only I deserve.)” (I)

“(When I am the ruler of the Black Empire I will declare myself the emperor, enough of the memory of a founder who is no longer here, it’s time to leave these old ways in the past.)” (I)

I spent half my fortune hiring the people who brought me here and eliminated the Empire Troopers guarding this place, I went to a lot of trouble killing my brother and parents to inherit this fortune so it has to be worth the money.

I pass through the network of underground tunnels where the guards’ bodies are still warm and the scent of their blood has permeated this enclosed space.

“(Disgusting smell, someone like me shouldn’t be in such a lowly place…)” (I)

Soon I arrive at the cells where the mercenaries I’ve hired are killing the prisoners as I don’t want witnesses to my presence here.

When I arrive at a cell where a single Demon without honor whose two horns were cut off as proof of his humiliation, he is completely chained and with a gag, the insolent one dared to look me in the eyes, I slap his face to show who is in charge here before ordering the gag removed from his mouth.

“I’m here for the mind control item you hid, I order you to tell me where it is or I won’t treat you as kindly as the Empire has done.” (I)

“Hahahahahahahaha…”

“Finally a fool appeared, I waited longer than I thought…”

“The smell of blood, how wonderful…”

“< Blood Curse: Forced Control >”

The blood of those outside the cell begins to float like Serpents reaching for me and all my men.

“Free me idiot, besides I don’t want to hear your annoying voice anymore.”

When the Blood Serpent hit me I felt a great pain in my whole body while a red snake shaped mark was engraved on my wrist, then I felt my body move against my will, and I started to release this inferior being, touching the chains was tearing my flesh, there must have been some kind of protective curse in its chains, but I couldn’t stop or scream.

When I finished letting go he was already covered in blood and my vision was darkening but even so, the bastard still held me by the neck to kill me.

“Finally free, the time has come to find the bastard who left me here for 835 years, the time has come for my revenge on you, Ellen.”

“But before revenge, it’s time for a little snack…”

The last thing I saw was his mouth warping as it grew grotesquely to eat my head.
