Part 1 – The Changes in 7 months
Another 7 months passed since that picnic I went to with Risene, Alexandra and Viv. Lots and lots of things happened as she decided to party of with us even though it was extremely dangerous....dangerous in the sense that we even now always seems to be facing unparalleled danger. Well things became kinda easier since we had an assassin with us now. Yes, Risene is an assassin which can also use Holy Magic and the like. Don't think much of it since she's a Holy Assassin. Strange combination to be frank.
Now to things that are happening around us!
The Western Continent was pretty screwed up thanks to me. Order had been declining as the now 2 great Kingdoms Seisin and Mortem were struggling with public order. Why are such great Kingdoms struggling?
The answer is very simple. Lots and lots of sabotage.
While there was one great Kingdom down, the other two needed to go as well. The easiest way to make things fall apart is start from the bottom and make your way up. As such, countless wells were poisoned, food were burnt and generally the lives of the simple powerless people were being ruined.
Of course certain people didn't want me to do this such as those 3 in particular so I stopped after only some minor incidents at the edges of those Kingdoms. So I thought to myself what was the next best thing to do in this situation and the answer was bandits.
So I set loose bandits onto towns which I helped by getting rid of most of the guards and armies in some ways such as destroying weapons and armour or just generally killing them outright. After a while again those 3 told me to stop and Alexandra had several local churches to work together to protect the peace.
Those events only took a mere 2 months since then.
What about the other 5 months? Well you can say that I learnt how to move pieces without even commanding them. Since I couldn't take out the bottom like that, I just had to control the top to make life miserable for the bottom. Can you guess what I was doing for last 5 months?
The answer is very simple. Lots and lots of manipulation on my part to cause nobles to distrust each other and take what they can right now which was in turn seen by the general public as acts of greed and revolts were more common.
Naturally the nation's army stopped these small revolts quickly. But then I thought what if the army itself rebelled against the nations. And so months passed by when I made the armies attack each other thinking they were rebels and not knowing that I planned all of this and no one knew about it. My infamy took another shot up though....
And now we are all caught up to the presents.
Part 2 – Linda and Alexandra
“Yo, its been a while Eden. It looks like you were very busy recently” said a certain woman I knew.
This person who at first looked like an ordinary priest was something far from it. Her disguise was so perfect that I still don't know if she was a NPCs or player. That was also something off about her that the NPCs would think she was either a NPC like them or a player.
This person was of course Linda which I haven't seen for a while now. When I say a while though in this case its a year or so since she last disappeared.
“How's serving that God you never mentioned?” I asked ignoring the fact that she actually intruded into here without anyone knowing again.
Right now the both of us are in my room which pretty much has a bunch of maps and documents on various people. Namely this was my planning area where I devise up various scheme in order to achieve my objective.
This objective was frankly throwing the Western Continent into chaos. After that is bringing up a King for the entire Western Continent and finally the last objective is killing that King.
“My God is very happy with what you're doing to the Western Continent right now” replied Linda with a sigh as if it couldn't be helped, “I guess that's why it sent me to you in the first place. You're too interesting for a God of Chaos to ignore.”
I have a strange feeling that some certain events that occurred before was caused by that God...things that wouldn't happen normally even for me and that's saying a lot.
“Anyway I want to tell you that the Church of Lion otherwise known as the Master of Lion religious group is now completely wiped out” said Linda, “I guess after losing their leader and then attacked on both sides by the Order of the Golden Phoenix and Heavenly Trio churches was too much for a weaken new church. Plus their idol was slain as well.”
“I'm more curious on how those 3 churches rise in the first place. Don't churches normally worship a God? How can new religious groups just pop up?” I asked.
“Well that's a bit difficult to talk about since its mostly a coincidence that these new religions appear in this world. The are generally two types of Gods. The old type which lie in the immortal realm with true knowledge along with being your arch enemy naturally. Then there are the new types which were 'recently born' in the continent who also inherit true knowledge on birth. Generally the old types are human shaped while the new type are animal shaped but the definition is very board. These are the natural spawning Gods that come to existence naturally via the power of belief.”
I see, so the ones that know of me being the Destroyer are these types of Gods....though I am the enemy of all Gods so that doesn't really make any sense to me....
“Along with the natural Gods, there are also artificial Gods which are pretty hated by the natural Gods. These artificial Gods are weaker than the natural Gods but in a way are more in number as well. By doing some sort of ritual, objects or in most cases, some animals are able to be powered by faith and such and gain divinity. As such this is how new artificial Gods are made. But the thing is when the said artificial Gods are destroyed then the religion disappears as well unlike what happens to some natural Gods.”
“?”
“When an artificial God dies, the divinity disappears with it so its generally a good idea to not let whatever it is to be destroyed in the first place. However in the very rare case that a natural God dies no matter what way including if you kill them, there is a good chance that the divinity will form into a new God. This however is mostly exclusive to the new type Gods now since the old type are nearly impossible to kill since they lie in the immortal realm.”
I see....so more Gods will spawn either way so its not that important if one or two dies once in a while.
“However there is also an existence called Heretical Gods which broke the contract of Gods which even new type Gods are bound to not even in extreme cases. Namely they are using their Divine power to directly interfere with the world. This happens when old type Gods descend into the world.”
“Hmm? In that case, what about the new type Gods then? Wouldn't they interfere with the world in the same way?” I asked.
“Who knows. Perhaps its because to re-enter this world the old type Gods have to directly interfere with the world in the first place so they will break the contract. Perhaps the New type Gods have a way to not to interfere with the world. Either way you will meet more new type Gods than old types Gods no matter what you do.”
“True but shouldn't meeting Gods be more rare than anything else?”
Linda smiled and said, “For you, its more common since you naturally attract them with your power. Plus you have that sword that emits Divine aura as well.”
Linda looked at my Divine Sword. Now that I think about it, didn't the description say that it was a sword god? Does that mean its an artificial god or something? I think I might be thinking about this too much....
“Gods that want to increase their power quickly would want to seek you but they are afraid of you more than their greed for power. Either way there will be some reckless Gods that will do what it takes to steal the power from that sword. But....I doubt anything will happen since Gods are mostly cowardly by nature”
As we were talking Alexandra entered the room and saw Linda. I believe this should be the first time they met.
“Yoooou!” shouted Alexandra drawing her sword. Linda did the same and drew her dagger.
Eh? They know each other.
“Take this!” Alexandra swung full force at Linda in this room.
Wait, don't! I don't want my room to be ruin!
However in contray to my expectations, Linda swiftly moved in and attacked Alexandra who reacted in time and jumped out of the room. I sighed in relief that all the paperwork I had to do were safe.
However it seems Alexandra had ill intent for Linda for some reason.
“You two know each other?” I asked trying to make sure they don't destroy this part of the base....I mean attack each other for no reason.
“Of course!” shouted Alexandra in rage, “This bitch is part of the Evil Denomination of Churches!”
I see and what exactly is that?
“Only technically I am. I don't exactly follow what they want unless it benefits me” explained Linda kinda ignoring Alexandra while she's at it.
“What the hell did you do to piss off Alexandra to that extent. Even my pranks caused her to hate me for only a while” I asked now next to Alexandra restraining her from the back.
“Let go! Let me kill her!”
Linda smiled and said the following, “I might have ruin months of hard work by assassinating key figure that may or may not include the leaders and higher ups of both Order of the Golden Phoenix and Heavenly Trio churches.”
“There was going to be a peaceful solution...and you ruined it!”
Actually this works in my favour since I needed them to die in the first place.
“Was this what you were trying to tell me?” I asked again.
“Yep. Consider it a gift from my God to you are being entertaining.” with those words and a smile Linda vanished, or at least she tried to.
Alexandra moved in and smashed part of the wall and Linda reappeared again.
“This one uses a combination of invisibility and presence concealment to get about. She can even get in here but....I have this little thing that allows me to detect you.” Alexandra took out a compass which pointed to Linda.
Hmm.....seems like a useful device for tracking someone down though I already have skills that do that for me. Well it will work for someone who has a horrible direction sense like Alexandra though.
“Hey Eden, let me escape and I'll do you a favour” said Linda poking the edge of the sword with her finger casually.
That would be a good thing for me.....
Then the sword came to my neck. Teary eyed Alexandra said in a threatening voice, “Don't you dare help her. If you do I'll kill you.”
Suddenly my life was being threatened even though I had nothing to do with this. I sighed at the fact that I was being dragged into this whether I want to or not.
“What about you two just fight? If Linda wins she can come and go whenever she wants. If Alexandra wins then....whatever she wants” I said not caring that probably one of them is going to die either way.
The two looked at me with evil smiles on their face obviously thinking of what evil things they can do to each other and said at the same time:
““Yes!””
Part 3 – The Duel between Light and Illusions
We were now in a open field. Naturally the duel couldn't be done inside the base since it would more likely be destroyed before the duel ended. As such they will be fighting here where they would only do moderate levels of damage to the environment instead.
In this duel....no fight, I was referee even though there was literally no rules for this fight.
“You can do anything as long as it doesn't involve me.....start!”
In contray to my beliefs again, it was Linda who took the first move with her stepping forward with weird footsteps that kinda make it hard for someone to know she's going to move next. However Alexandra did not hesitate at all when she did it jump cut at Linda.
What is a jump cut?
Well a jump cut is a move where you jump and fly in the air for a second before cutting at something while landing. It was a very powerful move and flashy to the extreme but was equally as difficult and risky to use.
“Chaotic Footsteps!”
However before Alexandra could execute the move, Linda moved in two....no three different directions at once. I'm presuming that it is the skill she used since its impossible to do alone.
Cutting through empty air, Alexandra was faced with three Lindas one of which was real while the others were fakes. All 3 of them charged straight at Alexandra with daggers in hand intending to finish this quickly.
However once again Alexandra did something surprising to me. She smoothly cut around her gracefully attacking all three of them at once. This level of fineness was to me, impossible to do while I once believe that Alexandra was only brute strength and nothing more.
The fight continued with Alexandra using that style of fighting against Linda.
[p=center]xXx[/p]
It was working. My attacks are definitely hitting her right now. Unlike last time she won't get the better of me now!
“Crusader Sprint!”
Agility boosted for 10 seconds
Calling upon greater speed I cut into the air several times severing the escape path of Linda by each strike. She was still using that skill that allows her to make illusions of her body when ever she moves in a certain direction.
Thanks to this it feels like I was doing a 1 vs 3 fight instead. But I faced worse situations before especially with and against Eden. I was not using magic as well, I didn't have the leisure to do that against this kind of opponent. If I do then she would have the time to slip away and I would have to chase her blindly.
Eventually I had her cornered. Now was the time to finish her off.
“Sword Wave!”
BANG
Using power to blow her away, I unleashed this move that was frankly the most useful skill I had. However then I felt a chill come down my spine.
“What the...”
Instincts told me to get away and so I did, retreating for a few metres before the dust from the blast to clear away.
Linda was still alive.
But no unwounded, one of her arms were broken and blood was stained all over the place with cuts of all kinda. However what was most disturbing was her face, her smile that showed a broken person.
“My my, you've gotten stronger. I guess I can finally go all out this time” Linda said though it was in a mocking voice.
The world seemed to twist and my vision blurred a bit.
Linda disappeared but in her place was...
“Eden....?”
Why was Eden facing me now? What happened to Linda?
[p=center]xXx[/p]
“Oi, what did you do to her?” I asked Linda who seemed to be in a fine mood.
Linda who was still wounded used Holy Light to slowly heal herself as she explained things to me.
“Oh Eden, I just made Alexandra there go into a dream.”
“A dream?”
“Yes, I have the power to control dreams. Well illusions are my speciality but dreams are another matter. This way I can see her go full force against 'me' as well.”
I don't like the sound of that though doing this will allow the environment around here and possibility me to be spared from her destructive powers for now.
“Of course she doesn't realise it isn't a dream though she will fight whoever she sees in there. Do you want to watch as well?” she asked.
A small orb made of mana appeared with an image on it.
“...”
I walked near Linda who pretty much finished healing and watched the oncoming battle between Alexandra and...
“Me?”
“Of course. I made this dream a bit special with Alexandra facing the person she wish to suppress no matter what?”
“I don't get it.”
“Simply means she believes she's weaker than you.”
I frowned at this statement. If that was the case then why do I avoid angering her all the time. Plus I something do favours for her as well in order to get to her good side like Viv.
“Though it seems a bit cruel, I made it so you're twice as strong as you are in there compared to the current you.”
“...”
Yeah....she's going to lose I think. I looked as the battle started.
[p=center]xXx[/p]
Why was Eden facing me? That was something I didn’t know but I didn't even have time to think about that.
“Magic Barrage”
Countless pieces of magic balls formed and were shot out randomly towards me. The blasts caused dust to spread and lower my vision while magic balls continued to bombard me.
I used my sword as a shield to block most of the ones coming directly to me and shouted, “Holy Aura!”
Holy Aura is now active
White Aura covered my entire body as I picked up my sword once again to face Eden now. However I felt a presence to my right and immediately swing my sword to intercept the blow.
Clang
It was Eden. She....no apparently it was a he again now....anyway he was next to me now even though a few seconds ago he was all the way over there. How much did his agility increase in order for him to do that?!
After the first clash Eden retreated immediately and formed magic after magic against me taking the time to wear me down.
“Lightning Spear”
A bright light which was the lightning appeared in his hand as he threw it at me. Due to me wearing metal armour it would hurt more than usual if I got hit by it. I swiftly rolled to the right to dodge it while chanting a spell.
“Crushing Light into dust, Light of Onetia!”
I created and sent 6 balls of light at Eden at high speeds. Of course he barely dodges it but he also sent back a fireball in return which I sliced into two with my holy aura enchanted sword before aiming to push this into a close combat battle again.
“Crusader Sprint!”
Agility boosted for 10 seconds
I ran to Eden using my speed that increased by nearly 6 folds and my quick reflexes and good judgement to dodge the incoming spells.
Seriously what kind of training did he do in order to become like that? Normally he would just spam large scale spells against me and he didn't even get fully serious yet.
“Sword Wave!”
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
Blasting through the last line of spells he had, I managed to push this into a close combat fight with me having the greatest advantage I could have against Eden. He didn't even activate those annoying buffs yet.
However he did something very unexpected.
“Heaven and Earth Separation.”
With those words the sword in his hand glowed and let out a destructive power towards me. Even in my state, if were to get hit by that then I would be instantly killed. As such I activated the next skill to escape.
“Knight's Retreat!”
Knight's Retreat is now active
- Doubles chance of evading attacks
- Increase agility when escaping
This was the sort of skill I didn't like especially. However I believed it to be useful for me to use one day and and learnt it. I'm glad I did.
My body moved to the side of Eden at extreme speeds to the point that I even believed that he didn't notice me move at all. However a sword came and I blocked and was then blown away.
Bang!
I flew for a split second into the forest where it cushioned my trip through the sky.
Thud
You took 31975 damage
“Battle Recovery...”
Faint Holy light covered my body as it healed at a steady pace. At this rate, I would be fine in a few seconds but those seconds will give Eden enough time for all sorts of things.
Because of that I switched swords to the prototype in which a certain member of the Guild of Shadows created for me. It was a split broadsword which was hollow straight in the middle giving it a much lower weight and power behind it.
But this one was customised and reinforced so it was as heavy as my normal sword so it didn't feel that different to use though I suppose I can't block magic attacks directly now with this sword.
By the time I got out of the forest there were countless spells waiting for me and Eden was in as I believe serious mode now with his tattoo glowing brightly to show that his buffs were now active. I believe those skills the Dragonic buff series casually. It was frankly the same thing as his previous first and second seal release state.
At least he didn't activate Magic King Drive yet was the only redeeming thing about the current situation I could think of. Holy Aura was not enough for this situations.
Fireballs, Ice bolts, Lightning Spears and so on were present in the sky waiting for Eden to give the command to fire at me.
Guess I have to use the Warrior of Light in this situation.
The moment Eden 'saw' me he fired everything at once at me. Ah.....death was coming but not really thanks to this.
“Light Warrior!”
A giant arm appeared in front me. A pure white arm of a giant warrior appeared to protect me. A rib cage then appeared around me as well and a warrior from waist up appeared.
Warrior of Light is active for: 14 seconds
It was at best a half manifestation so it only cost 3000 mana per use.
The way this skill works is that whenever I manifestate it, it will cost mana. So now I'm down 3000 mana for just defending myself. If I attack right now using this however it wouldn't cost a thing. But if I wait, after a while I would need to pay another cost to sustain it just like manifesting it again.
The higher the skill level, the longer the time period in which I have to pay the cost to use it. Even though it's still in the beginner levels, it could be sustained for around 10-20 seconds at most. Plus my mana was a bit over 10 000 so at most I could only use it in this state 3 times. Actually since I used other skills already, I can only use it two times max right now including now.
[I to awaken am the Tyrant whom stole the throne of God]
Eden's hair turned to a silver white colour,
This is bad!
Smashing forward I summoned the Light Warrior's sword and slashed downwards at Eden.
BOOM!
However there was a clear barrier in which perfectly blocked my attack. It was a mana shield but it shouldn't be strong enough to block my attack. Did Eden supply it with more power with mana?
[I devour the wisdom and rip apart the Knowledge]
This is really bad, I spent 3 seconds on that attack alone and Eden is already charging up for an attack. I continued to smash the mana shield but it wouldn't break but on the other hand it seemed Eden is strain since each hit took lots of mana from him every time.
[I will become the Magic King that rules over all Creation]
He was already half way there in completing the chant. While I never tried this while using the Light Warrior I might as well now.
[And I will show you true Despair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
“SWORD WAVE!”
Using the Light Warrior's sword, I gathered mana into it and let out a giant explosion from the sword to Eden.
BOOOOOOOOM!
A second passed when I didn't know what was the result.
[Magic King Drive!!!!!!!!]
However that voice alone said everything. I failed.
Warrior of Light deactivating
The Light Warrior with its time up in the world disappeared and a giant force pushed me back from its activation alone.
“Dragon Transformation” said Eden emotionlessly as his body turned half dragon.
His eyes glowed a golden colour with hints of blood red in them. His silver hair glowed in the day and his tattoos glowed an even brighter colour than before. Not to mention his aura was spilling out rapidly as well.
Months ago, Eden learnt how to control his aura properly but it seems in this state even with that training, it could not push back the massive amount of aura that was coming out of his body. Also it wasn't like Eden was the only one who got stronger during that time period.
Who do you think test run the Hyperbolic Time Running Course?
Thanks to that my agility is now at least on par with my strength stat alone.....so I kinda understand the hell Eden went through.
I checked my current state quickly. My health was at around 40 000 from the damage I took, mana was on a low 2000 range but Holy Aura was still active and my stamina was at around half. I can still pull through here.
“Magic barrage.”
Eden said those words again and activated the same spell which pushed me back completely.
“Eh?”
This time however it was on the level of ridiculous to an extreme extent. The entire sky was covered with projectile spells of all sorts all aiming for my life. Even with my Holy Aura, I would die if I get hit too much. But on the plus side, Eden has to concentrate on sustaining this spell so isn't as focused on his body compared to before.
“Crusader Sprint!”
Agility will be boosted for 10 seconds
10 seconds is all I need.
And the magic barrage began as I started charging towards Eden.
Using the new sword in my hands, I split it into two so I was dual wielding it and using each sword to whack away any magic attack that was coming my way. The swords being half the weight of my original sword, allowed me to cut down the magic attack faster than I would before.
“Sword waves!”
Gathering mana in both swords I sent out two waves of destruction to Eden which he blocked using his aura. However this split second of defence was enough to disturb his spell and caused the magic barrage to disappear.
I quickly slashed him twice using both swords as I passed by him with large cuts appearing on his body. Eden grabbed his sword but I quickly cut at his hand to stop him and continued to cut and cut until he was finished.
When Eden died the world broke.
“Eh? What the...”
The sky cracked opened like glass breaking and.....I opened my eyes to find myself on the ground apparently asleep.
Part 4 – A Favour
“Oi...what is the meaning of this Linda?”
I was seriously pissed off right now.
“You doubled my stats and somehow the fake me managed to lose. Plus that wasn't how I fight at all!”
“Eh? What do you mean? You are a power house of magic.” Linda stuck out her tongue as Alexandra returned back to the real world.
“Wait why is Eden here and....you.” With her great sword in her hand she pointed it at Linda.
Linda smiled wickedly at Alexandra and said, “You did quite well for facing a powered up version of Eden.”
Alexandra confused was about to asked 'what?' but I spoke first.
“Powered up? All you did was increase the stat by 100% and you even lose even with that!” I placed her head between my fists and twisted them into her head.
“Seriously who the hell use massive amounts of magic attacks at once? I mean against normal foes, it is fine since they'll probably get hit and die but against Alexandra who can CUT down these magic attacks, its absolutely useless!” I started complaining even more to Linda.
“Also why the hell was most of my magic attacks projectile types?! What about the long range AOE attacks or even basic spread attack?!”
I wished to complain some more to Linda who pretty much used a completely style of fighting which was considered by both me and llyfr to be inefficient. Plus I didn't even get to the part where she didn't even use proper physical skills or even go into Dragon form during the battle.
But then I sensed killing intent coming towards me.
Smash
I let go of Linda who promptly disappeared the moment the attack came down at us.
Oh...Alexandra was seriously pissed right now.
“Well then, you can take care of her. Laters~”
With that Linda disappeared from sight and probably out of the area by now.
“....Hey...calm down....” I said backing off from this awakening monster in front of me. Her Holy Aura seemed sharper than usual as well....
“Were you into this plan....?” asked Alexandra with eyes void of all emotions.
I shook my head in fear hoping for the best. However Alexandra still progressed towards me as fear paralysed my body. This was bad, really bad!
Pat
?
What was that....? Why did she pat my head?
“I'm too tired today....going back....you better find Linda later for me....” Alexandra walked away sluggishly away from me.
“...”
That was strange....usually she had more energy than even a hyperactive child.
“It seems she's a bit tired from all the stuff she had to deal with” commented a person who should have really disappeared a while back. But I ignored that fact for now.
“Enough to drain all the energy out of her?”
“Well its more like a couple of things that ended up stacking on top of each other until she had so much work to do that she couldn't act like herself. Well half the fault lies with me.”
“I see so you should apologise to her then.”
“The other half of the fault lies with you.”
“Eh?”
Linda sighed and said, “Her job is to make sure the churches are all fine but since the churches of this continent are so closely connected to the well being of Kingdoms she ended up having to take care of entire Kingdoms in which you have mostly destroyed.”
“...”
“Recently she had been going out more often and had sags under her eyes right?”
“...”
“And also the glittering of her blonde hair lost their shine a while ago and her eyes are slowly becoming dead.”
“...”
“Also her work will increase even more with you causing more trouble whether she knows and likes it or not.”
“Okay, I'll go apologise first. You better help her out as well.”
That conversation was the cause of me being pushed months of paper work and threatening in order to restore some order in the chaotic world I had created. Months later, it seemed that Alexandra was a bit more cheerful than before and was restored to her former self but on the other hand I was forced to endure so much work that I lacked sleep, my hair lost its shine and I could barely concentrate to the point even using magic was difficult.
On another note Linda assassinated the two Kings and their Kingdoms fell apart. The final stage was starting....a new King will rise!
Part 5 – Upcoming Darkness
A certain man was being followed, no tracked at an alarming rate. It has been a few days since this first happened and it just continued to be worse. This person in question was known to others via his leader as Thinny. One of the assassins of the guide of shadows.
“Who are you?!” he cried into the darkness.
It was strange. As an trained assassin, Thinny should have seen this person no matter how dark it was as long as there was a hint of light and tonight was a full moon as well.
“...”
There was silent and a person appeared from the darkness to Thinny. It was a person dressed in back clothes....no it was something that dressed itself in a human form, that was the feeling Thinny had being in front of this thing.
“What...are you?” asked Thinny drawing his weapon and more than prepared to escaped. This creature was powerful, so powerful that Thinny could not even know the limits of its strength. It was as if millions of creatures were smashed into the small body of a human.
[He had become a bit too boring for my taste]
The creature spoke but its mouth did not move. But the sound resounded into Thinny's ear as if it was next to him. Sweat covered his body in fear as the creature approached him.
[So I will have you speed his restoration to the being that he was to be]
“What are you talking about?!” Thinny took the chance to attack and in a single moment, burst towards the creature and stabbed its forehead. But it had no effect.
[The Destroyer, my fellow kin born as the opposite force to the Gods. When the Gods first used their Divine power on countless worlds, we were born and ever since they stopped all those eons ago, we slowly but truly perished from the world. But....]
A smile that wasn't human at all appear on the creature's face.
[A new one was born, Divine power was finally used by the Gods and as such it gave enough to give birth to a new Destroyer]
Black substance that was neither solid or liquid wrapped around Thinny's body and tightened and bind him to the creature in a nasty way.
[The moments when 'they' came to this world guided by the Holy Seer, the Gods themselves unconsciously used their power to allow 'them' to sustain themselves in this world!]
Excitement was heard in the creature's voice. It was truly creepy at least. Thinny thought about what the creature said. As a person who studied ancient runes and history, Thinny knew a bit of what the creature said.
The beings the creature were talking about were the foreigners who have come from the another world. If what was said was true then the other creature it was talking about was most likely Eden....Destroyer....Thinny heard of them in ancient history and vaguely.
Creatures that existed before the contract of Gods where Gods roamed the lands freely. It was said that it all began when Hero King of the Gods betrayed them and was cursed by the Gods. As a result, the 'race' called the Destroyers were born having impulses to hate Gods and a certain creation of theirs.
How they were born was unknown. How they lived was unknown. Almost everything about them was unknown, their strengths and weaknesses as well.
[Do you desire power?]
“...”
[I can feel that you do but you try to deny it so much. Here, let me enlighten you for a while]
A snake appeared from the creature's mouth and slithered its way into Thinny's mouth.
“Guh!”
Power infused Thinny's body as something became part of him. Thinny felt difference, stronger and good.
[Now I believe the new one has been collecting mana fragments for a while now though it has been a while since he collected one. He has 5 of them right now, collect them and you will be able to gain even more power!]
“Who.....are you?” asked Thinny now with a different reason.
[I am the beast that was born to slay gods. The beast that had been engraved with the number 666. A being that was slain by the first and forgotten in time...until the new one awakened me from my sleep from nothingness. It has been a while since I have awaken but still....more time is needed to recover my full power]
With those words, the creature disappeared in the darkness where Thinny could not track it. But it still left him some words of advise.
[Strike after the peak of destruction. Remember, you are now my servant and you will help me truly awaken him as a Destroyer]
Thinny was left alone....confused....but yet certain of what he needed to do.
He needed comrades for that time where the leader was most weak and vulnerable. But by then he would not be simply a servant to anyone or anything.

Author's Notes:
- Word Count: 6300~
- A chapter which doesn't do much besides shows the relationship between Alexandra and Linda and what is to come soon....
- On another note, I'm not even a page in the next chapter -_- Strange....when I actually had things to do, writing was very easy and now that I don't....writing seems to be harder than normal
- In my honest opinion, this chapter was a bit dull and had little to do with the main plot at all. Its just something that's in the middle of the more important stuff that will happen next chapter. I can assure you that the next chapter will be definitely more interesting.
