Will of chaos

Pov Klaus (Moon Butcher):

I was reading my subordinates’ reports on my reading crystal, when I finished I smashed the crystal into dust.

“They’re smart, they’re selling items made from Flux Coral and spreading them across the continent.” (I)

“But they must be stopped, these weapons are disrupting Nature’s natural flow of energy.” (Naraka) 𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐨𝗿𝗴

I look down at the blue-bladed dagger in my hand, I don’t notice anything much with that weapon myself, but my Hired Spirit seems to understand better than I do.

“We did well to work together with the Temple of Justice, at least we stopped supplying more Flux Coral and got leads to keep hunting these bastards.” (I)

“What are you going to do now? And don’t say you’re going to look for your daughter!” (Naraka)

“I would love to find her, but I need to keep the continent as safe as possible for her sake.” (I)

“We lost our target when he committed suicide, but we have a lead on where he’s been before.” (I)

“To the capital of the Arorus Empire.” (I)

A few days and a teleport later.

I’ve been in this Kingdom for a few days now, I came directly to the capital and it was easy to find out what’s been happening.

After some investigation it was easy to figure out how an arrogant idiot came to be the ruler, actually, it was too easy.

In addition, the changes he has made in this empire reveal a lot about the person himself, reveal his selfishness, sense of superiority, and stupidity.

Anyone would see how much his actions as ruler would bring this entire empire down in a short time, but I think that was the point.

“This ruler is just a puppet, apparently there is no evidence to convict him of the deaths of those in his path to becoming the ruler, but someone so stupid would not be capable of such a plan.” (I)

“Do you think the organization we’re investigating is doing all this to poke this asshole in charge?” (Naraka)

“Perhaps it could be someone else simply using him, this whole situation becoming known to the people, and yet there being no evidence against him shows a certain level of intelligence that he clearly lacks.” (I)

“But the reason doesn’t matter, we confirm that this idiot doesn’t have what we’re looking for, from the information I’ve gathered it’s most likely in the hands of the rebels.” (I)

“I already found them, do you want to capture them now?” (Naraka)

“Where are you going?” (I)

“Towards the castle, beyond that, I don’t know anything else.” (Naraka)

“Capture them.” (I)

Naraka sent his shadow clones to scour this capital, he would be able to find the Flux Coral if he was nearby, so I sent him to look for it.

In a few seconds, two men, one Human and the other a Beastman from the Cat tribe appear from my shadow with limbs trapped by totally black Serpents.

“Here’s the item.” (Naraka)

Naraka gets down from my arm and enters the Human’s Clothes, then comes out carrying a blue metal cube with many magic circles and Runes on all sides of the cube.

“I’ll take it to be evaluated when we get back.” (I)

“What do we do with these two?” (Naraka)

“Kill them and dispose of the bodies.” (I)

Soon two large completely black Serpents come out of my shadow and swallow the two men.

“Why didn’t you ask them any questions?” (Naraka)

“It would be pointless to ask anything, they were just another group of buyers for our targets, they won’t know anything and I don’t want to hear anyone else talking about having a good reason to do something.” (I)

“Where to now?” (Naraka)

“Let’s get out of this place, there’s still one more place we can go.” (I)

Pov Zenos:

I spent a few hours talking with Silvia, she is very kind and gentle as she talks, her voice is childlike but her way of speaking is very mature.

She said that she spent most of her time since she was born talking to Nix and Sakura.

From what she said, Nix is ??helping her with her refinement to master her new Dragon abilities, it also sounds like Silvia is very happy to spend time with Sakura who has a strong connection with plants.

Silvia also tells me that Barok and his other people are delighted to have more Dragons joining their ranks, and Karina seems to be talking to her to fulfill her duty as Dragon High Priestess.

“I’m glad you enjoyed your new life.” (I)

“All thanks to you, I thought that was the end of me.”

(Silvia)

“You’re a lot weaker now, are you okay with that?” (I)

“I’m weaker, besides this body isn’t as resistant as my previous body, but on the other hand I’m free to go where I want without staying forever in the same place.” (Silvia)

“Have you managed to adjust to your new body yet?” (I)

“A little.” (Silvia)

I only stopped talking to Silvia when night fell, then someone else came to talk to me, that was Loki, it looks like this Evil God finally decided to wake up.

I talked to him after dinner, and he claims he is no longer a God, he doesn’t possess Divine Power and not even Holy Power, in his own words, she has become mortal.

She said that now she wants to live the freedom of mortals, it seems she has been up to a lot while she was in my room.

Pov of a cultist:

I was inside a stone room with a magic circle drawn with blood, I let my own blood fall on the magic circle while active with my mana.

Soon a shadow covered the entire wall and two red eyes emerged from that shadow, the two eyes covered the entire wall, as soon as they appeared they looked directly at me, then a dark energy came out of that shadow and entered my body.

I feel a surge of power coursing through my body as the disease subsides, and I feel my body becoming more and more like that of a well-trained person.

After so many years of servitude I finally gain the power I always wanted, finally, my beloved master recognized my efforts.

“I thank you for your blessings, my master.” (I)

“Now go, finish the quest more power will be granted to you.”
