Will of chaos

After the Dungeon ran away, that’s right, the Aerial Dungeon ran away, things were very easy for some reason, in my view, the Dungeon master decided to leave so as not to lose more Souls, some of these monsters could even talk showing that they were created using Very good ranked souls.

After the Dungeon left I relieved Nicole of her duties, I know she doesn’t like to do those things and there’s no need for her to do that now since someone else can do it.

Guildmaster Dargon was very insistent on hiring Nicole as an employee of the Guild, but instead of talking to her, he came to me realizing that I was the one who decided about it.

But he didn’t realize that the reason Nicole listens to me is exactly because I protect her from these things, her job is with me.

Me, Silvia, and Sakura created a house on a land where there was only rubble, a three-story house more like a simple mansion using marble stones that I picked up from the city’s rubble and wood that grew to mold to what we wanted, even without help Leonardo’s work was beautiful.

This house might only be temporary for us, but I made sure I had the Trade Guild’s permission to build it along with permission to sell it when I left town.

Actually, the Mages Guild, Commerce Guild, and Adventurers Guild were working together to rebuild the city, but all the money for this was being funded by the government at no cost to the Guilds themselves logically since they are not charities.

We were also asked to help rebuild the city when they saw our small mansion, I released it to anyone who wants to help do whatever they want.

Meanwhile, I used this makeshift house to go back to the Dungeon where I called Nira for a meeting.

“How is everyone?” (Nira)

“Okay, Nicole is taking advantage of her time away from her lab to make plans for her future projects.” (I)

“But I called you to find out about the volunteer list.” (I)

“Here it is.” (Nira)

Nira hands me a storage crystal, I take the small cube and fit it in a reading crystal I have with me, then I start to look through the volunteer files, there were many names, but most were crossed out.

Among the prominent names were the Ghoul I met in the city of Valen in the past, the Shark woman from the Sirens who joined us on the way to this continent, the Blood Demon Queen we rescued in the Dark Continent, and Sophia and Alice.

“We are still analyzing some names, those highlighted are the most suitable if you start…” (Nira)

“If possible I would like my Master to be at the top of the list.” (Margareth)

“Margareth!?” (I)

“I can understand your concerns, but your best option would still be your sister.” (Margareth)

“…” (I)

I had already thought about my sister, but I considered leaving her later because I’m too busy right now, I’m afraid helping her now will make me unconscious for days again. 𝘦𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑜𝑟𝘨

At least now I have confirmation of performing an Awakening Ceremony with normal people without being knocked unconscious, but someone who is a Demigoddess will clearly not be normal.

“(At the end of the day she is still my Blood Sister, putting other people in front of her is not right.)” (I)

Sigh

“Fine, I’ll do that, but just later, I have to do some preparations.” (I)

“But master…” (Nira)

“I know, but family first.” (I)

“If the master has already decided, I will make the necessary preparations.” (Nira)

“Thank you for that, I plan on tonight.” (I)

“Then I think we better hurry.” (Nira)

Pov Nix:

While the master was inside the Dungeon, we were informed to keep the gate closed and only open it when he leaves.

“Are you going there?” (Ragnar)

“Yes, I have to accompany Layla, you don’t want to let her go alone.” (I)

“Take Silvia with you, she is wiser than she looks due to her long life, after all, we don’t know what they want.” (Ragnar)

“Probably nothing major.” (I)

Right after the master entered the Dungeon a person came to see us, he was a Fairy Priest, he wanted to bring us a message to go to the Fairy temple outside the city.

One thing we found out thanks to Nicole working closely with Guildmaster Dargon during the city evacuation on our first day in this city, was that the evacuees were sent to this Fairy Temple.

The reason we don’t get direct help from the Fairies is that they don’t interfere with the affairs of the world as long as they don’t involve the Fairies or nature, the same goes for the Spirits.

Conflicts are transitory for beings that can live for thousands of years, moreover, nature is in a constant and endless process of creation, destruction, transformation, and creation again.

These Fairies wanting to see Layla is probably because of her Blessing or because of her ability to use all the elements.

But I don’t worry about that, the Fairies and Spirits have been allied with the master for a long time, he even has the Blessings of the Gods of these two races and still has a trinity with nature, something that the Fairies made us able to feel through us.

“I don’t know why they do, but it can’t be anything bad, you understand that too.” (I)

“Yes, but you must be careful, especially when leaving town, you know the Church of Light is watching us.” (Ragnar)

I look out the window of the house, and I see nothing but the rubble of the city and people trying to clean up all this destruction before it starts to rebuild, but I know someone is watching us, maybe more than one according to what the master said.

“I know, but they can’t see or hear us here.” (I)

Vanessa helped us by temporarily sanctifying this house, it will only last a few days, but during that time this mansion has the protection of the Blood Goddess and cannot be invaded in any way, shape, or form.

Vanessa doesn’t like to call herself a Santa, perhaps because she’s not officially one yet, but it’s indisputable that she has already surpassed the High Priests.

“Let’s be taken by the Priest from before, the people of the Church of Light will avoid a confrontation with the Fairies as much as possible.” (I)

“I’m more worried about the reason for this invitation, I’m afraid it will be more work for us.” (I)

“If it’s something we’re needed, then it won’t be a battle.” (Ragnar)

“Which would be more troublesome.” (I)

“It’s no use thinking about it, I’ll only know when we get there.” (I)

I’ll have to wait until late afternoon for what that Priest said.

Pov Klaus (Moon Butcher):

“I tell you, I tell you anything you want to know, just let her go.”

“Then tell me more about this Lord of Shadows.” (I)

“Anything but that, you don’t understand what’s going to…”

“Ahhhhhh!!!!” (woman)

“You bastard, what did you do, I speak, I said I speak.”

“Just answer my questions, don’t waste my time or your daughter’s time.” (I)

“No one knows who or exactly what kind of creature the Lord of Shadows is, he is a creature made of shadows, but he needs a living body to inhabit and use his power.”

“What is he planning?” (I)

“I don’t know, I swear by the Gods I don’t know, I’m just an intermediary for them, one of many.”

“Do you know where to find him?” (I)

“Right here Mister Moon Butcher… hahahaha…” (Shadow Lord)

I was interrogating a Noble of the Black Empire, a Demon full of greed who does everything for money, my investigation led me to one of his clients and then to him, it was this Man who passed on half of the weapons containing Flux Coral scattered throughout the northern part from the mainland.

I destroyed his eyes and contained his Aura and senses using Spirit Runes, I was also using a voice change Rune to model his daughter’s voice, which is possibly the only thing he loves more than money.

But then suddenly the shadow envelops his body which begins to bleed as a smiling face with red eyes emerges from these shadows speaking to me in a voice that does not belong to my prisoner.

“So you are the Lord of Shadows?” (I)

“Yes and please spare me this pathetic attempt to track me, this man has never known anything worthwhile, and trying to track me with these Runes will be futile too.” (Lord of Shadows)

“(So he knew I was baiting him.)” (I)

“What do you plan on doing causing all this mess? You can’t keep hiding forever.” (I)

“You don’t scare me, Butcher of the Moon, so save your speech, besides I won’t have to hide anymore soon.” (Lord of Shadows)

The shadow disappears leaving a twisted, bleeding body on the ground, I stand up looking at my shadow.

“Didn’t get anything?” (I)

“Nothing, he knew about me, in fact, he tried to track you down by throwing a curse at your shadow as he spoke, but when he saw me resisting he left.” (Naraka)

“But I managed to contain a trace of his power that he tried to use on you.” (Naraka)

“So there’s still something we can do.” (I)
