Will of chaos

Pov Nicolas:

“I wanted to say no to this drawing, but you may have given me an excellent idea.” (I)

“I knew that at some point I would be able to convince…” (Leonardo)

“I needed more space for energy storage, but I would have to change a lot of the structure for that, if I put in breasts, I can use them as extra space without making big changes.” (I)

“So we should…” (Leonardo)

“It doesn’t have to be very big, the magic cores I created with Lyra’s help are compact, I just needed more space to store mana, but maybe I could use the other one for extra processing use.” (I)

“I don’t think he’s listening to you.” (Rakan)

“We’ll be back later?” (Leonardo)

“Perhaps I could take advantage of these modifications to coat the magic cores with Orichalcum scales, that way I could put many different types of defense, I can also use the curse idea that Erica suggested.” (I)

“I’m leaving, he has entered his own mind, he must not even realize that we are in front of him now.” (Rakan)

“I can use curses as links between the items and the body, so I can prevent other people from stealing my body like in the past.” (I)

I was imagining the various changes I can make to my body, I have to say that the only drawback of not having a real brain was the decrease in my creativity, that’s why the main processing core was done especially with the crystallization and synthesis of brain of many different races of people before making the synthesis with magic crystals of various elements, with the crystallized blood of Zenos and the core of a powerful Golem.

My body will have a total of 5 Cores and 2 magic crystals, this counting the additions I just thought of, they will have multiple functions, if I use the same binding curse on the whole set, maybe that will prevent others from taking possession of my body or parts of my body as in the past, it will also prevent others from trying to separate my Soul from my new body.

“Zenos’s Awakening Ceremony might be better, but maybe this Curse could be improved or replaced with something better during this Awakening Ceremony.” (I)

“I think another 1 or maybe 2 weeks should be enough to finish these modifications, it will depend on the speed Anton finishes manufacturing the Orichalcum scales and the time Ragnar will take to put the defense spells on these scales.” (I)

When I finished making mental notes about the various changes to my body and future plans that I will have to discuss with my collaborators, I realized that I was sitting alone in the room, my visitors gone.

“Where did they go?” (I)

“The people in this Dungeon are very rude for leaving unannounced like that.” (I)

Pov Elsaris:

I was in a secret room in the basement, the only other person in the room besides me is a Vampire with short black hair, white skin, full of muscles, and a cut scar on his right eye.

“You know, I really just wanted to see you.” (I)

“You can’t blame me for distrusting you.” (Austin)

“I didn’t expect anything else from you, I always respected your caution.” (I)

“Respected nothing, you were always a big inconvenience, your response to every situation was always violence.” (Austin)

“What can I do if violence always seems like the easiest solution.” (I)

Austin was the one who trained me when I started working for the Black Market centuries ago, he taught me almost everything I know.

He can be a cunning bastard, even his warrior appearance fools people into underestimating his intelligence, I learned that the hard way.

“I heard about your sister, congratulations on reaching your goal.” (Austin)

“At the time I remember you were studying about Dragons, but you never let me in your study room and you never told me anything about Dragons.” (I)

“You knew about the Awakening Ceremony, didn’t you?” (I)

“Yes, this is something very few creatures are able to do, there are few records about it, but at my age, it can be considered common knowledge for a scholar.” (Austin)

“Did you know this could save my sister?” (I)

“There was a 74% chance that it would be possible to save your sister this way, I considered it.” (Austin)

I clench my hand into a fist so tightly my hand bleeds from my claws.

“Stop this childish rage and murderous intent, if I had spoken the solution to save your sister back then, you would be dead now.” (Austin)

“…” (I)

“When it comes to your sister, you’re not capable of thinking rationally, which in the case of someone as violent as you makes everything worse, would be the same as sending you to your death.” (Austin)

“The only ones capable of performing an Awakening Ceremony are powerful Spirits, Fairies, and True Dragons, all of that without considering the Gods.” (Austin)

“You would have brought yourself to death by seeking out any one of them.” (Austin)

I try to think back to what I was like back then, which he says isn’t too far off from what I really could have done, but still, I can’t forget that I could have freed my sister centuries before.

“You as well as all new Vampires have the same problem, everyone thinks the same way as other races.” (Austin)

“We are immortal, we can be killed, but we will never age or die naturally, so we have to take our time and consider all possibilities.” (Austin)

“I knew that in time you would gain the wisdom that comes with age, I knew that one day you would find some way to help your sister, it was just a matter of time.” (Austin)

“You achieving this before the age of 1000 and the way you did it was a surprise to me, even more so with the Father you chose to follow.” (Austin)

“You know about Zenos…” (I)

“Any Vampire my age or older will know about him, the youngest and most mysterious son of the Blood Goddess.” (Austin)

“Don’t look at me like that, I won’t do anything to him, no Vampire with any intelligence would do anything to someone of the Goddess bloodline.” (Austin)

“As much as everyone wants to argue or deny it, we are favored by her power, even when we are against her, nothing happens to reach us, that’s because we are harmless in her eyes, but the moment she sees that we are a threat to her children, then death may be the least of our problems.” (Austin)

Pov Zenos: ．

For some reason I was in front of a spooky mansion surrounded by mist, there seemed to be countless red eyes within the mist looking at me while I felt the killing intent of thousands of people around me even though I was alone.

I was confused not knowing where I was or how I got here, I didn’t understand anything that was going on, which only made me more confused.

“Wait!” (I)

I tried to remember the last thing I was doing before showing up here, that’s when I realized I was going to sleep after returning from the Dungeon with Ibuki, at that moment I realized where I was, as real as it seems.

“I’m dreaming?” (I)
