"20!"
Adriana furrowed her brow, her thoughts racing, 'So, Asher Eli is a go--'
As if Lilith had tapped into the stream of Adriana's thoughts... Well, to be completely transparent, Lilith had been eavesdropping on everyone's thoughts, so, indeed, she overheard Adriana's inner musings.
[No, He's certainly not a god nor a reincarnator]
Lilith emphatically shook her head thinking, 'I didn't sense any kind of distortion in his soul or any kind of divinity...'.
"18!"
[Then....]
[Recall the instance when my husband referred to 'That Thing'... that made us feel fear]
[.... Yes.... 'That galodon' right?]
Adriana hesitated, fear trickling through her veins as she vividly recalled those teeth that had etched into her mory.
[.... Yes..... But it wasn't the galodon]
[...Hmm?]
[....]
[Lilith?]
[You know who I am truly, right?]
"15!"
[.... Yes]
[Then that ti.... Why did I find myself heightening my guard for a re Mana Spirit?]
Adriana's frown deepened. On the day Eli summoned galodon, she distinctly rembered Lilith also assuming a vigilant stance, as if that monster posed a threat even to Lilith.
True, there was no way a born Mana Spirit from Mana Breathwork user could not possess a power similar to the Emperors...
The Ruler of Darkness standing on guard against a re spirit... It was an incredulous notion.
Yet,
Lilith turned vigilant..... So that ans, Another Ruler of Elent.
The Rulers of Elents are the strongest entities and only they could each other fight on equal footing....
galodon was a Water Elental spirit..... then that implies...
[The True Ruler of Sea, Jormungandr.... The World Serpent.... The Fallen God]
"10!"
Adriana gasped, her eyes widening in shock, and she visibly turned to Lilith.
Lilith didn't et Adriana's gaze, maintaining her focus on her husband who was nearing the end of the countdown.
[I harboured doubts previously.... Sigh.... I scoffed off initially thinking it was just a normal spirit that had the sa nas, but now.... Seeing a Dinsional Beast scared a re mortal.... It's laughable yet, sothing more attention is needed....
If my husband truly called the galodon, the Ancient beast.... then....
galodon was Jormungandr's servant....]
"8!"
Lilith continued,
[galodon never heeded anyone but Jormungandr, so....]
[So?]
Adriana gulped, hanging on to Lilith's every word.
[My husband embodies the spirit of Jormungandr~ My Darling~ is rocking!!!]
Lilith's tone abruptly shifted from serious contemplation to fangirling excitent.
"2!"
Adriana blinked in surprise.... 'That's not important!!'.... She yearned to delve deeper into the revelation, but,
[We'll discuss this later, Adriana]
"1!"
Eli previously fixated on Kayden, deliberately shifted his intense gaze towards the Dinsional Eater.
The Dinsional Eater involuntarily flinched at the sight of Eli's captivating ocean-blue pupils, radiating a srizing brilliance.
'Gulp'
The monstrous Dinsional Eater, with its unnaturally wide-open maw, trembled as it saw the illusion of raw razor-sharp millions of teeth..... a primal fear etched into its brain, despite its lack of cognitive reasoning.
Torn between conflicting impulses, the creature found itself caught in a strange predicant. It grappled with the desire to flee, retaliate by sinking its teeth into Eli, or simply remain frozen in place. The fear gripping its heart seed to override any coherent response.
So, all it could do was obediently stay put, not daring to make the slightest movent.
"Sit" Eli commanded with an air of calm authority.
"Hahahaah...." Kayden couldn't help but laugh at the unfolding scenario. While baffled by the unexpected turn of events, he reveled in the power dynamic playing out. Though he couldn't quite fathom why his supposed slave refrained from attacking Eli, he suspected the Vampire Queen's unseen influence.
Carter and Theo joined in the laughter, finding amusent in Eli's seemingly futile attempt to ta the unruly monster.
The four-legged monstrosity sighed audibly, surprising everyone by complying with Eli's command and sitting down. The unexpected obedience left everyone frozen in astonishnt.
"Y-You!!" Kayden stamred, utterly taken aback. An overwhelming sense of sha and anger surged within him, driving him to contemplate swift retribution against the creature that dared to disgrace him.
Yet, before he could act on his impulses, a sudden "SSSHHHHH!!" resonated from Eli's very being. A radiant blue light emanated, compelling Kayden to squint and montarily close his eyes.
"Hmm~" A seductive moan escaped Eli's lips, causing Kayden to stutter in surprise.
He inhaled a seductive sll....
Eagerly, Kayden opened his eyes, anticipating the owner of the alluring voice, 'Damn, I wanted to see the face of the wom--'
His thoughts ca to an abrupt halt as he laid eyes on Eli, who appeared fresh and unscathed as if nothing had happened. To make matters more bewildering, it seed like Eli was utilizing his...
"Don't use your damn charm!!" Kayden shouted, realizing he had nearly succumbed to Eli's enchantnt. Everyone was well aware that Eli possessed the ability to captivate others through mysterious arts acquired from the Vampire Queen.
"Hmm~?" Eli tilted his head innocently.
"!!!" The faces of everyone present turned bright red, a collective reaction to Eli's combination of cuteness and sexiness.
"Hehe..." Eli giggled, revelling in the aftermath.
"W-What?" Kayden's face flushed intensely, struggling with a mix of embarrassnt and conflicting thoughts. 'Why am I even thinking of these ideas?!'
Lilith's lips twitched as she observed the spectacle, noticing the blush on many won's faces. She snapped her fingers, dispersing tiny pink particles that brought everyone back to their senses.
Eli, sensing the shift, glanced at a higher platform before offering a small smile.
The collective realization dawned on everyone about the perilous nature of Eli's charm, especially among the male populace who found themselves yearning for the embrace of any woman..... as long as she was a woman.
'I-I need my wife/lover/sister/mother/ now!!' They thought. (No!! naughty things, just a feel and embrace of the opposite sex, that's all....) They wanted to make sure their personality had not been infected.
Kayden, fueled by a mixture of frustration and humiliation, harboured a burning desire to exact revenge on Eli and punish the slave who had blatantly ignored his orders.
/Hol--/
Before Kayden could complete his incantations, Eli delicately placed a finger on his lips, hushing any further utterance.
"Shhh!"
The abrupt silence sent a shiver down Kayden's spine, freezing him in place with an uneasy anticipation.
Ignoring the perturbed hero, Eli shifted his focus to the enigmatic 'Cute Puppy'.
His fingertips gently traced the tendrils of black mist seeping from the creature's fur, revealing no discernible reaction or indication of resistance.
The Dinsional Eater, almost resigned to its fate, stood motionless, a silent witness to the impending events.
"Chuckk!!"
"Ba-Dump, Ba-Dump"
Without a hint of hesitation, Eli reached into the monster's ethereal form, extracting its heart. To the bewildernt of onlookers, the creature showed no sign of astonishnt or dread. Instead, it gazed at Eli with an enigmatic smile? before gracefully dispersing into myriad particles.
As the particles slowly dissipated, Eli's eyes lingered on the fading remnants. A sense of amusent flickered in his gaze, prompting him to contemplate the possibility that this formidable monster had, in an unexpected twist, accepted its fate without a struggle.
To be honest, Eli found himself perplexed by his own serenity in the face of the Dinsional Eater's arrival.
He had anticipated a turbulent encounter, expecting to lose a few limbs at the very least. Regardless of how he assessed the situation, the monster lood over him with undeniable superiority..... Yet, as the creature drew near, Eli experienced an unexpected sensation..... Pain. Yes, genuine pain and suffering emanated from the monster.
It was as if the creature sought its own demise, despite its outwardly aggressive stance dictated by its master's orders. Strangely, the mont it approached Eli, its deanour shifted from one of aggression to one of fear..... Eli, on the other hand, could only perceive unrelenting.... Pain radiates from its eyes.
Eli was baffled by his inexplicable ability to comprehend the emotions of a monster. The enigma of this newfound understanding perplexed him....
'What the fuck is happening to ?' Eli scread when felt those feelings.... He was kind of scared as he started to change sothing he never knew.
He tried to torture this thing to understand what was happening but sothing told him it was 'Wrong'.
Though he wanted to fight this creature, seeing its suffering... Eli couldn't. He was not sure why felt sympathetic to a Monster but.... he had softened up a little for the past few days, so shrugged it off.
There was always a chance for him to fight many more in the future as long as Kayden was alive that was...
So, just as it wished Eli killed it without making it suffer any more.
As Eli laid eyes upon the creature's heart, an unexpected surge of fury coursed through his veins..... The source of his anger eluded him, yet the heart seed to be a focal point for this intense emotion.
An unsettling desire crept over him.... an insatiable hunger for the heart. The need to devour it consud his thoughts, echoing through his mind like a relentless nightmare.
'Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat....!!' His consciousness beca a chant of voracity, the words reverberating with an eerie intensity.
"""NNNOOOO!!!"""
Kayden, Carter, and several rcenaries and traders scread in agony as if their families died in front of them.
"W-What?"
"T-That's all!"
"I-I thought there were the strongest monsters!!"
"Is that monster really a Dinsional Eater??"
"Where is the epic fight I was waiting for?"
The audience chattered among themselves as they couldn't even believe it. They eagerly waited after Kayden's prideful announcent and hyped everyone..... yet it died without any resistance, so even started to doubt whether it was truly a dinsional eater or sothing else.
.... Even though Kayden gave a huge build-up.
Ignoring their heartfelt cries, Eli fixated on the black heart. His breath hardened, and his throat went dry. One thing was certain.... it would be delicious to consu that heart.
Despite the tantalizing allure, Eli exerted control over his newfound urges, 'No soul crystal....' he noted an important thing he initially wanted after seeing the monster, tossing the heart towards Adriana.
Their eyes t before a silent nod of understanding passed between them.
Kayden finally snapped out of his fearful stupor, contemplating summoning another Dinsional Eater. However, he hesitated, considering the substantial mana loss and the ti required to ta such a creature.
Eli then returned his focus to Kayden, he didn't want that Hero to speak any more shit so instead..... Eli was going to speak so shit before deciding to finish it with so revenge,
Eli lightly tapped the ground with his foot, and imdiately,
"Cough!"
Kayden convulsed, coughing up blood as he witnessed his domain crumbling.
"Hehehe..." Lilith giggled, a sense of pride washing over her.
Mana Breathing
'Deep Inhale'
"Hero, you called a backstabbing, selfish man, right?" Eli stood before Kayden, who struggled to recover from the backlash caused by the breakdown of his domain.
"Y-Yeah-Cough- What's wrong with that?" Kayden retorted with an arrogant deanour, refusing to let Asher Eli diminish his stature.
"Then, are you a Hero?" Eli queried, crouching down.
Examining the pitiable state of Kayden, Eli displayed a face of pity..... intentionally provoking Kayden further.
"Y-Yes, I am a HERO!! -Cough-"
"For whom?"
"Who? Of course, for my people!!" Kayden declared with pride.
"Your people?"
"Yes"
"..." Eli stood up, surveying the arena where a faction of people harboured a collective desire to end his life.
"So, he is the hero?" Eli inquired.
"....Y-Yes," soone in the crowd responded, eliciting energetic shouts from the rest.
"Yes, he's our hero!"
"He's willing to do anything for his nation. Of course, he's the hero, who else could be?"
"Kayden is the Hero of Theos Kingdom!!"
"Hmm" Eli nodded thoughtfully and turned his gaze back to Kayden, who appeared nearly recovered from the backslash.
"Then who am I?" Eli questioned, wearing a puzzled expression.
"H-Huh?"
"O-Of course, you're the villain!!"
"You backstabber!!"
"You ugly bastard!"
"You psychopath!"
"You defiled our Saintess!!"
....
..
The crowd hurled nurous derogatory terms at Eli.
Listening to the accusations, Eli nodded with an impassive expression before posing a single question to them,
"Why?"
"H-Huh?" The crowd was taken aback as Eli's voice adopted an emotionless tone.
"Did I hurt your family?"
"..."
"Did I hurt your loved ones?"
"..."
"Did I betray any of you?"
"..."
"Did I really rape a woman against her will?"
"...T-Th--'
"Did you guys witness assaulting a saintess?"
"..."
"No... Nothing, right?"
Eli concluded his questions, t with silence from the audience. Eli's smile widened, while scepticism spread across the faces of the onlookers.
"You know, when a parent constantly treats their child as if they're worthless...
Telling them they aren't the best, that they can't do a single thing....
Those words can truly impact a child's mind. It's as if they start believing that's who they are"
A hushed silence fell over the crowd as Eli's words settled in.
Eli continued,
"And this is how society operates. When individuals are labelled as 'That Kind,' regardless of their innocence, the weight of those expectations can corrupt their minds, shaping their behaviour to conform to society's perceptions"
'Gulp'
A collective gulp resonated through the crowd as they sensed the gravity of Eli's words.
"So, let show you what it ans to be a---"
"DIE, YOU BASTARD!!" Kayden bellowed, attempting to thrust his sword into Eli's back.
"AAAARRRRRRHHHHHH!!!"
Eli caught Kayden's throat with indifferent eyes, "I have yet to settle my old balance...!"
