Will of chaos

I leave the house and run back to the crater site, less than 30 minutes have passed since a city was there.

But now all that exists here is this emptiness, there is nothing left, bodies, blood, houses, or traces that a city was once here.

“I… I couldn’t do anything…” (I)

I’m standing on the edge of the crater, and my emotions are burning so hard my chest hurts from the force of my heart, I think I should cry with sadness for the death of the people of this town, but all I can feel is anger, an rage so strong that if I had the power I would go after that Dragon to make him pay for all this in the most brutal way I can imagine.

“I was very confident with my strength, plus I thought I was very smart, when did I become so arrogant?” (I)

I looked at my hands, I know some of these people’s blood is on my hands, Shiro came to this city because of me, he launched this attack on the city because of me.

He acted strangely since I saw him talking to Margareth, the way he spoke seemed to have double meanings and he was very wary of Margareth’s presence.

“He gave a lot of signs, I noticed all this, but I didn’t do anything.” (I)

Deep down, there wasn’t much to do, I couldn’t escape an attack of this scale, and I couldn’t save the people of this city, but even so, the naive idea that I could have done something doesn’t leave my head.

“I could have taken people to the dungeon by force, at least some people would have been saved.” (I)

It would be impossible, I had no way of knowing about it, and I wouldn’t be able to do anything since I didn’t know about this attack, I never imagined things would escalate so fast.

“Dad, I know what you want to do, but it won’t help, we should get out of here.” (Vanessa)

“But we should at least…” (I)

“This time is different from what happened in that city of the Makari Kingdom, there is nothing left of the bodies, and their souls will no longer be here.” (Vanessa)

“The element of light has the natural ability to purify, especially if you are a True Dragon using this element.” (Vanessa)

“A funeral ceremony won’t do anything like that.” (Vanessa)

“…” (I)

“It has no bodies or blood to cleanse and it has no Souls to save.” (Vanessa)

Vanessa steps out of my shadow with Layla on her shoulder, the two of them passed through the Fairy gate to get to me without going through the Dungeon gate.

As Vanessa talked to me I kept looking at this crater, I was trying to understand why this had to happen.

“We must get out of here before the others show up, this will draw the attention of strong people who will want answers.” (Margareth)

“If you use their blood or try to sanctify the land, they’ll think it’s the Blood Temple’s fault.” (Margareth)

“They might also try to use the blood left behind to track you.” (Margareth)

I’m being asked to leave here without doing anything for the dead, people who had this ending just because I was close.

I understand what they’re saying, but I’m so frustrated, I haven’t felt so helpless since I woke up in that red pool in the Forest of Blood and found out I was a Leech.

“Master we have to get out of here NOW!” (Freya)

“Huh!?” (I)

I look back in surprise to hear Freya raise her voice, she always keeps a calm tone in all situations, I look at her and notice a face full of fear looking up somewhere above so I follow her gaze to know what is leaving her like this.

“DAMN IT!!!” (I)

Due to my anger taking over my mind, I didn’t notice how the natural energies were behaving, I normally don’t pay active attention to these things any more than I pay attention to a lingering breeze.

But the energies were not out of control, they were concentrating in a circular flow above the crater, I take a better look and realize that within the circle the energies are falling into disharmony at an accelerated rate, much more than what happened in the port city of the Kingdom Vartry.

“RUN!!!!” (I)

I extend tentacles of blood to everyone and spread my Dragon Wings while activating every possible speed boost as I fly away carrying them all away.

I only stopped when I felt something break, so I look back, I was far away, but I had a lot of skills that helped me to see what was happening from a distance, I realized that an energy sphere had formed within the circular energy flow, then everything explodes in a hurricane of energy as the energy flow cracks and breaks.

The energy hurricane did not destroy the surroundings, quite the contrary, I noticed that the trees and plants in the surroundings are more full of life, and the energy in the surroundings was completely harmonious.

But the hurricane or at least what I thought was a hurricane of energy condenses in the form of a bird made of a storm, the bird turns in various directions as if looking for something, including the direction I am in, and when that happened I felt scared, so much afraid my body went rigid in place.

Soon the bird that must have been miles long looked in the other direction and disappeared, I only knew that it had followed the direction it last looked because of the trail of clouds cut in a straight line that was left.

“A Titan of Nature.” (Margareth)

“Was that a Nature Titan?” (Freya)

“Yes, the destruction this time was very big, it caused a lot of damage, that Titan of Nature will chase Shiro until one of the two is destroyed.” (Margareth)

“Is he going to die?” (Nix)

“Probably not, he must have gone to a place he deems safe, but even then he will be mortally wounded, these things cannot be destroyed until the natural energy their bodies are made of is completely spent.” (Margareth)

“We should get out of here, if the disappearance of the city doesn’t draw anyone’s attention, then the appearance of a Nature Titan will draw a lot of attention.” (Nix)

“I’ll take care of it.” (I)

“Nix devour.” (I)

I make Nix Devour everyone else by sending them into the Dungeon, then I drop to the ground and start running towards a place I still remember from what little information I can remember from the map.𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
