Will of chaos

My situation was not good, but I was calm because of the life-saving bracelet I have on my wrist, in addition to the expression of frustration on the face of this Envoy of the Adventurer’s Guild, I know that he will not attack me.

“Put that spear down and we can still talk, otherwise you know what can happen.” (I)

“One way or another this will not go unpunished.” (Diana)

Diana spoke in a low voice, but with the strength that everyone here has, there is no one who has not heard her words.

“Hodin! Put that weapon down at once, you’re not dumb enough not to realize how much more harm than good you’re doing.” (Mage?)

The Wizard looks around and I can tell by the change in the Adventurer’s gaze that he has noticed something and looks at the same places the Wizard looked before which are High Priestess Yara, Diana in direwolf form, and the two Dragons.

“Damn Edmundo, don’t say I didn’t warn you before, Vampires are not to be trusted.” (Adventurous?)

They tried to hide their mind talk, but this Adventurer named Hodin sucks at hiding things, he seems to be too direct a person.

I can see the Wizard who seems to call himself Edmund put a hand over his face in frustration for his unreliable partner.

“Could you warn the others not to attack us Mister Zenos?” (Edmund)

“How do you know about me?” (I)

“The Church of Light has spread many posters about you, as a scholar I like to stay on top of important news, and a new Demigod is very important.” (Edmund)

“Demigod…” (Hodin)

The Adventurer named Hodin tightens his grip on his spear as his eyes change from anger to caution, and he begins to observe his surroundings better.

“Everyone calm down.” (I)

“Master, we should…” (Kira)

“Listen, my Father, we must calm down.” (Vanessa)

After everyone has calmed down I just call the magician to talk.

“Since you’re here, I’ll leave these people with you and go.” (I)

“I apologize for my teammate acting like this, so if possible could you help us?” (Edmund)

“No, I don’t trust you and much less that Adventurer.” (I)

“I know what you want to do, talking to the girls won’t help, we’re leaving now.” (I)

“I know you want to help, otherwise these people could still be inside the city, so think again, I need to get the others here and without the help of more space element mages it will take 4 hours of ritual minimum.” (Edmund)

“Then I risk getting killed after all of you are here.” (I)

“No Guild has accepted the constant requests to hunt you down, so don’t worry, not all Adventurers are going to be like Hodin, he has a personal hatred of Vampires.” (Edmund)

I spent a few minutes talking with Edmundo, as we were all in a hurry, he told me directly about the special mission the Guild created when he heard about the events in this city.

It seems that this Mage was sent to start construction of a temporary portal due to having the magic element of space, the Adventurer who pointed a spear at me was sent to do reconnaissance of the city’s situation before the others arrived.

It seems that the two came here using a high cost teleportation spell, the teleportation gate will manage to stay open for 30 minutes allowing Adventurers and supplies to be brought here quickly.

I listened to all this and thought about this situation while asking some questions which he answered, according to what Nix said, everything he says is true.

I consider everything before answering.

———-

Now I was gathered together with the rest of the people in my group telling them my decision.

“Are you sure we can stay?” (Ivan)

“I still want to beat up that idiot, but I agree to help this city.” (Diana)

“I tried to curse that Adventurer, but it didn’t work, so I suggest leaving before he decides to attack us.” (Lilith)

“Let me go, I want to punch…” (Layla)

“Come on, behave yourself.” (I)

In the end, everyone accepted, half of them wanted to kill that Adventurer while the other half just wanted to break every bone in his body into pieces, but they didn’t want to abandon a city being destroyed right in front of them.

“This is a special Guild quest, so there is no need to register to participate, me and some of you have registration with the Adventurer’s Guild so we will be protected as members of the Adventurer group in this special quest.” (I)

“It means that the Church of Light and others can’t do anything to you here, plus the Guild will ensure safe passage.” (Diana)

“You’re not going to make me wait now, are you?” (Loki)

“She’s been training, her magic is weird, but it works well in combat somehow.” (Hela)

“The answer to that is imagination.” (Loki) ｂｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

“You can fight but Silvia still can’t, her Aura was unstable earlier, what happened?” (I)

“I still haven’t gotten used to my Dragon body, it’s different from my normal Humanoid body.” (Silvia)

This was the first time I saw Silvia in her Dragon body, unlike Nix’s Eastern Dragon type, Silvia’s Dragon body was a slightly more Humanoid Dragon body with Dragon legs that bend backwards and 2 pairs of wings multicolored scales that look like tree bark with a Dragon’s head that has nothing scary about it.

If I had to describe Silvia’s Dragon appearance it would be graceful and beautiful, while Nix possesses the dangerous beauty of the night, Silvia possesses the radiant and glorious beauty of the day.

Pov Silvia:

I was going to talk to the space element mage who was already making preparations for her magic.

“I wanted to talk to you, but you can continue your work, after all, we are still in an urgent situation.” (I)

“Thank you for understand.” (Edmund)

“I know you realized who we are, so I hope you control your friend, my Father likes to reveal our secrets and I know he didn’t notice everything you noticed.” (I)

“Hodin was so focused on seeing Zenos as a threat that he missed the touch of Blessings.” (Edmund)

When he speaks his expression is serious, I don’t think even my new Father understands how much his Aura reveals about him and the impact that this large number of Blessings leaves on his Aura.

“The truth is that if something happened to him, blood would flow not only on this plain but on the entire continent, so think about it carefully while you pray to Baldr.” (I)

The Mage stands still as he looks at me, but instead of anger, he has a smile.

“My faith in the Gods isn’t that great, I’m not a Priest, so don’t worry.” (Edmund)

“I hope these are your true thoughts, nature may seem welcoming and kind, but there is nothing crueler than nature.” (I)

I reveal my Aura only to him, I know he won’t discover the truth about me, but it will make him realize that I am not a simple Dragon, the depth of my Aura stems from millennia of existence and unlimited wisdom that all World Trees share.

“…” (Edmund)

I watch him put away the symbol of his faith and erase the part of the magic circle that would warn the Church of Light.

“Was I that obvious?” (Edmund)

“You are still too young to be able to hide anything from me, child.” (I)

I turn away knowing he won’t try to trick us with half truths again, just like he said, he’s not part of the Church of Light, he’s just one of countless worshipers of his religion.

Unlike Priests, he won’t risk getting himself into a situation he doesn’t understand against so many unknown forces without having a big picture view of the situation, which is impossible for him.
