Will of chaos

Pov Queen Melissa:

“What do you want as a reward for helping now? Please help!” (I)

I had no other option but to ask for help, I know I can’t handle this situation the way it is right now, so I have to try to ask this mysterious man for help as I’m the only one in a position to help right now.

“(I just hope I’m right and you’re someone strong.)” (I)

“We don’t have much time, so I’ll be straight, I want Nicolas the Magic Engineer.”

“…” (I)

I look at my shadow, I can feel him watching me, so I try to keep a neutral expression, but I didn’t expect him to know about Nicolas, no one should know he’s with the Black Empire or on this continent.

“We have many Magic Engineers in the Empire, but I haven’t heard of any Nicolas, but I can look for him if you wish.” (I)

“(I won’t let him take Nicolas, that madman shouldn’t be out in the world…)” (I)

“Good luck with your colossal Kimera monster…”

His response was so quick and without hesitation that it interrupted my thoughts.

“Wait, don’t you want something else? Anything?” (I)

“…”

“I can give you a peerage.” (I)

“Can I give 1000 crystal coins or maybe you want some rare item? Maybe you want both?” (I)

I look at the seal I created about to break, and an extremely violent Aura started to leak, for some reason, this Aura resembles Gregory’s but is much more powerful, brutal, and Evil.

“(What an absurd amount of malice.)” (I)

“Just say what you want!?” (I)

I don’t know if I’ll be able to beat this thing even if it was in good condition, this Aura clearly shows that it’s on the limit to surpass the Lower Catastrophe Grade if that happens the monster may even die, but it will take days, meanwhile, during that time it can destroy the entire Black Empire.

“…”

“(You damn bastard…)” (I)

“(He doesn’t even respond.)” (I)

Nicolas might be a madman, but at least you can still talk to him and he’s not evil, not worth thinking about above the Empire.

“FINE! I’ll hand Nicolas to you!” (I)

“A pleasure to deal with someone as reasonable as you, Queen Melissa.”

“(Fair my ass, I’ll punch your face until I break all your teeth, you damn bastard!)” (I)

“Just warning you, I hope you keep your promise, I don’t like people who break their agreements.”

His tone of voice was clearly dangerous, this was a direct threat saying what it means to deny the deal afterwards, but that was never an issue, my pride with us ruler of the Black Empire will not allow breaking a deal for the good of the Black Empire.

“I do not break my agreements, I swear it on behalf of the Black Empire I rule.” (I)

“If so, then you have my respect.”

“What will you do?” (I)

“I already did it.”

As he spoke, a ray of light extremely fast traveled from the walls of the city to where the seal was, this ray of light had several colors, but red was predominant.

I felt a chill when I saw that because I realized I wouldn’t be able to withstand such an attack.

I could feel magic power, Ki, spiritual energy, the energy of various elements, and a powerful Aura.

The beam of light hits the seal and pushes it up above the clouds where I feel the seal break which causes me to suffer several internal injuries.

Soon I see a flash above the clouds followed by the spreading clouds and a powerful gust of wind almost throws me back even from this distance. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨

I hold on to the bell column while this damn bell brushes against my ear because of this strong wind.

After the wind has passed I pull a powerful healing potion to recover, after drinking it I feel better but I’m still very weak, unfortunately, it’s still useless to drink a potion to recover my energy.

“That attack was too strong, who was that bastard in the end?” (I)

“You’re kind of rude to someone who was begging for help a few seconds ago.”

“(He’s still listening.)” (I)

“Just wanted to say I’m going to wait 3 days, after that I want you to deliver Nicolas on that bell, so see you in 3 days.”

“…” (I)

“Are you still there?” (I)

“(That damn bastard…)” (I)

Pov Zenos:

I was watching things from afar along with others after evacuating the children and elderly, to my surprise most of the adults also managed to save themselves.

I saw Darius with two others running around helping to evacuate injured people and facing some enemies hiding in the crowd, Kimera’s Auras are easy to spot so I think it’s ok.

After seeing all of Queen Melissa’s useless battle against that huge creature, they were impressive attacks, but none of them were able to kill the creature, besides that monster healed very fast.

If I had been in Queen Melissa’s shoes, then it would have taken me a while to think of a way to defeat this thing, time I clearly wouldn’t have easily.

I contact her through our shadows after seeing her sealing the monster, that’s because I felt this monster’s Aura and the concentration of energy building up in it.

Lilian who was with me was looking strangely at me, meanwhile, Layla is laughing as she listens to my conversation with Queen Melissa.

She wanted to pretend she doesn’t know who Nicolas is, but the Elf Queen Luthien had already told me about it, thanks to her I know that he is in the possession of the ruler of the Black Empire, and that’s why I agreed to come here.

After convincing her to accept the deal, I asked Freya to fire the special arrow I had created with everyone’s help.

This arrow was created from my blood containing all my Ki, Mana, and spiritual energy.

After that this blood was crystallized in the form of an arrow with some magic circles and runes to increase the arrow’s power, furthermore, I put my Aura at full strength on the arrow.

Vanessa used her holy magic along with her Aura to give the arrow’s Purifying effect, thanks to the holy power that Vanessa is putting into the arrow I already know we’re going to defeat a monster being ripped to pieces.

But this was the first time I made an attack of this scale with everyone’s help, the power really was.

I was going to help anyway, but it didn’t hurt to try to win something up, I was never going to let that happen in a place important to Lilian.

So she kept quiet while I talked to Queen Melissa.
