Will of chaos

While I was talking to Nix about worries about what’s about to happen, but Nix started to vent her worries and frustrations.

With that, the other two Priests must have already managed to finish their ritual.

Pov Hela:

I agreed to help Henrique with the ritual because I found it all very interesting, in the last two days I managed to learn a lot from Henrique about Spectral-type undead about which I know very little.

This ritual was also very interesting, it seemed to serve to amplify an Aura with dark attributes associated with death, then activate the effect of an item that Henry brought.

What was at the center of this ritual was a green skull covered in blue Runes, the moment he showed me that skull I felt the miasma in the surroundings stir and the death energy in the surroundings slowly being absorbed by this skull.

“What item is this?” (I)

“This is an item called the Sinner’s Skull.” (Henrique)

“This was the skull of a person who killed only for pleasure, a person who chose to be surrounded by death until the day he died.” (Henrique)

“So a criminal?” (I) .𝗰𝗼𝗺

“The worst kind, killing for a purpose can be understood regardless of whether it’s a good or bad cause, but killing for no reason other than fun and on an ongoing basis is unforgivable.” (Henrique)

“This type of criminal will suffer for centuries as a tool to purge the suffering of others in their deaths.” (Henrique)

I understand what he means, the energy of death comes from the opposite of life, this energy is very similar to miasma, this energy imprisons people after their death as it spreads.

The negative emotions that people feel at the time of their death affect this energy, whether it is higher or lower, normally this energy fades away when after some time of the person’s death, but in a place with so many deaths on the same day like this energy has accumulated to become a prison of souls.

“When we start you will see and hear the voices of Souls trapped in this place, try to ignore that and stay focused on the ritual.” (Henrique)

“It’s all right.” (I)

Pov Freya:

I was in the sky accompanied by Priestess Yara, I was using wind magic to fly while Priestess Yara had energy wings on her back.

She and I assemble a complex Isadora ritual artifact from the pure elements of Earth, water, wood, and wind.

“This is very complex, the Lady Priestess is very smart.” (I)

“Don’t worry about this simple thing, I want you to focus on synchronizing with me, an Elder Elf like you will make this task much simpler.” (Yara)

“I still don’t know how lives discovered my race?” (I)

“You’re not the first of your kind I’ve ever seen, with your help I’ll be able to do everything I thought of on the way here.” (Yara)

“I know the plan also needs someone to rebuild the place that will soon disappear, but how can I help?” (I)

“I only study attack spells, I know almost nothing about rituals, besides, even with your explanation from before, I don’t think I’m able to reshape such a large area.” (I)

“I’m sure you can, just follow my words when the time comes.” (Yara)

“This ritual circle will amplify your power over nature, after which you will be able to manipulate everything at once, everything must be done quickly before disaster strikes when all this place below us disappears.” (I)

With everything resolved I heard one more quick execution before I felt a powerful Aura pass through me like a powerful wave going everywhere, it did nothing against me, but I felt a presence similar to Hela’s.

“Looks like they’ve already started.” (I)

“Let’s start too, as soon as the moment arrives we have to be quick.” (Yara)

Pov Duke Gregory Roux:

I was in a meeting with several nobles of the Empire, I was using this small meeting to talk to many of my collaborators, it took me a long time to get them all on my side little by little.

But at that moment I realized something and left the mansion for a walk in the garden.

,m “I already told you not to show up with so many different people gathered in the same place, each of them are influential Nobles.” (I)

“We’ve lost contact with those people who were convinced to kidnap the Blood Demons.” (number 0)

“That’s nothing new considering where they hid, just wait for that fool to get the God Fragment, when he’s consumed and turned into a monster we can lure him to a better place to kill.” (I)

“In the last few months, I have noticed something different in the land of the Ruins of Death.” (number 0)

“The number of Undead has decreased a lot, besides that I noticed someone moving deeper in that place.” (number 0)

“Send more people, I have to get my hands on that God Fragment.” (I)

“I’ve sent people out often, I’ve even tried to use the surrounding Realms to investigate with their spies, but no one left after entering.” (number 0)

“Those followers of that foolish Elf wouldn’t be strong enough for that, I believe someone else found out about the God Fragment and wants to steal it.” (number 0)

“If we can’t get in, then let’s wait for them to leave, watch the surroundings from all sides, I want to know who’s getting in the way of my plans.” (I)

“Also take experiments number 276 and 1025, we have little data on them in battle and can be very useful considering the terrain.” (I)

“Remember to keep me informed, also don’t let others find out about the God Fragment.” (I)

“I will follow your orders.” (number 0)

After number 0 left I started to think about how unlucky I’ve been, so many of my plans have failed after all these years.

“If I find the bastard spoiling my plans I’ll kill everyone in his family.” (I)

I go back to the meeting, I can’t stay outside long enough not to raise suspicions about me.

When I got back I started talking to other nobles, but I was distracted with many things on my mind, so I say goodbye before leaving.

Pov Margareth:

I was watching from afar, I saw someone in the sky and I saw a green glow below.

“I would love to show you this, ma’am, your brother is doing something else crazy.” (I)
