206 God's pet
Today, two additional chapters were supposed to be released, but due to so minor issues, they will be postponed until 16.11. I apologize.

"What? The Queen can't make it to the eting?" Adam said in surprise upon hearing the guard's words.
"Yes, sir. She asked you to co again in two days. So problems arose, so Her Majesty had to postpone the eting."
"I understand..."
Adam sighed irritably when he heard the ssage from the guards. The eting was canceled without notifying him in advance, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Since the day tragedy struck Queen Elizabeth's castle, resulting in the death of many people and creating a frenzy that hindered normal life in the castle, there were no announcents. The families of the deceased remained silent as if their anger from a few days ago was just an illusion.
However, it couldn't be said that this incident didn't have an impact on life in the capital. Avalonia's capital changed, and from ti to ti, there were reports of people going mad and attacking everyone in sight. Their only goal was to unleash the accumulated anger, which, under the influence of the Higher Energy of Evil, had slipped out.
Higher Energy... its influence was like that of a nuclear bomb. It had an effect similar to radiation, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it exceeded its in-danger nine or even ten tis. That was the situation.
And there was no chance this incident would be ignored. When he visited the Vampire Queen, who drank his blood, Adam learned so news.
"Do you an they're going to condemn Veronica for using Higher Energy, am I right?" Adam asked, standing up from the sofa. His face was pale, and he looked overall tired, but with each passing second, his demon skin regained a more natural color – demon regeneration was doing its job.
"Hahaha... yeah, can you believe it? I'm amazed at that fool's brains! Couldn't she have handled the situation more cunningly?" Liara laughed loudly, seductively licking her lips, stained with Adam's blood. She chuckled and looked at him, tilting her head – her eyes burned with madness, and her hair moved on its own. "So, boy, you should be prepared for tough tis. I'm sure your mommy is not in the most pleasant situation."
"..."
The man did not respond to her words, which were mocking. He just sighed and looked out the window, supporting his chin with his hand, while Liara played with his hair, rubbing her body against him from ti to ti.
The use of Higher Energy was originally prohibited, as it could lead the world to catastrophe, so violating this rule was severely punished. However, Adam strongly doubted that anything would happen to Veronica because she was one of the strongest beings in this world, and losing her... essentially, they would be defenseless.
Although the status of the most powerful being was still debatable, Liara herself was practically comparable in strength to Veronica and surpassed her in so monts. This gave Adam a not-so-pleasant premonition.
Veronica had many enemies – she was a woman who could make even the dead flesh and blood and then spit blood from her cruel words. She was sarcastic, unfriendly, and unpredictable. Essentially, an uncontrollable force that they would like to get rid of at any convenient mont. And such a situation perfectly fits the criteria.
It was too bad for Adam. Whether he liked it or not, he had a connection with Veronica, so with a thorough investigation, he could be affected by the consequences. But he couldn't turn away from her because, in this way, no matter how obsessed she was with him, he would simply lose her trust."
"And it's not like I find her unattractive," he thought, sighing as he bid farewell to the Vampire Queen and stepped out of the space.
Whoosh...
A strong wind blew, and several leaves fell on his head from above. Glancing around, he sighed irritably, realizing that once again he had been thrown into a random place, turning the escape into a full-fledged quest.
His current location was a forest, surrounded by nothing but trees, with no sign of a human city. Moreover, he felt no presence, making it unclear where he had ended up. The portal serving as the entrance and exit to the Blood Empire changed its location every hour, resembling a lottery.
"Hmm... at least I'm not too far from Sedyon. About two thousand kiloters or sothing like that. Besides, the surroundings look familiar enough," he thought, tilting his head and analyzing his environnt using magic. After a few seconds...
With a raised eyebrow, Adam looked at the treetops, where more than twenty elves in armor stared at him. Their average level was E , with the strongest being C-. So, he didn't fear them and was only slightly surprised that his assumption turned out to be correct.
"Demon! How dare you trespass into our sacred lands!" the strongest elf from the group exclaid, jumping right in front of him, and pointing the edge of his sword at Adam with a brave expression. "My mission is to guard the Sacred Forest of Elves, and your presence here defiles the fertile land!"
"..."
Adam didn't know how to react to such a haughty statent from the long-eared guy, but he didn't give any reaction to his provocation. The man just smirked, turned around, and followed the ntal map in his head, leading him to the city of Sedyon.
However, the elf's attitude towards him displeased the elf, making him instantly angry, and he attacked Adam with all his might. His sword glead with bright white light as, in a fraction of a second, he covered a distance of five ters and prepared to make a vertical slash toward the demon's head. But...
"WHAT?!"
Suddenly, a strong shockwave of dark and mystical energy hit him, flowing like flas and quickly spreading over the elf's body as if it were fire.
"AAAA! I'm burning, burning! Help!"
His cry fully awakened the stunned elves, who began attacking Adam en masse, but suddenly discovered that the area around them had changed significantly. There were no familiar trees left, only complete darkness and a suffocating feeling, as if soone had grabbed them by the throat and slowly, with increasing sadism, choked them.
Thus, the elves fell to the ground, tornted by illusions, while the fire had already engulfed the body of their leader. After a few minutes, the loud cries ceased, and all that remained of the beautiful elf was a charred corpse. That was the outco of the battle with the demon – always beware of unexpected moves.
Looking at this scene where no one survived, Adam just snorted and burned their bodies to ashes, then headed ho.
Sowhere in the distance, in the capital of Elfheim, a beautiful elf maiden observed the situation. Undoubtedly, she was slender and beautiful, her long golden hair freely flowing in the wind, while her green eyes, like eralds, sparkled in the bright sunlight. The surrounding world reflected in her pupils as if it were a mirror without a single smudge.
Dressed in a simple white dress, she wore a beautiful crown made of gold with erald inserts that complented her eyes.
"I didn't expect to see him again. Iliantra buzzed in my ear that he beca an influential person and we should be friends... Well, it's hard to believe," she muttered, chuckling and clasping her hands behind her back. She narrowed her eyes, which suddenly changed their color to a darker shade, and her aura burst outward. Plants around her went through the cycle of life and death, repeating it every twenty seconds.
Her facial expression changed every minute – she was angry, then happy, then sad, then indifferent.
This was Amaria, the Queen of Elves.
"Quite upsetting. They say he built a city that gained fa throughout Avalonia. And there's not a lazy person who hasn't heard about his company. Even a pity that I let him go so easily," she sighed, sitting on the grass. She chuckled and murmured, "Who would have thought that Veronica's little puppy would have such potential? And here I thought he was useless, so I kept him around, hoping to get so valuable material from Veronica. Oh, dear Adam, how I miss those tis when you fed with a spoon."
Her behavior significantly differed from what Adam rembered. If before, Amaria seed gentle and kind, so much so that imagining her killing would be difficult, now her aura resembled sothing like Veronica's. Moreover, talking about her strength...
According to the system's assessnt, she reached SS !
"Oh, yes... They want to condemn Veronica for using Higher Energy, right?" Amaria muttered, sighing. She smirked and looked genuinely sad, "Well, how can this be... does she deserve it? She was just defending her dear one, nothing more!"
And while she talked to herself, a portal began to form behind her, gradually increasing in size, reaching a height of two ters and a width of a hundred centiters. Glancing over her shoulder, Amaria grinned and looked at the person erging from it. Her appearance couldn't be recognized, but Amaria seed to recognize her imdiately.
"Good day, little god's pet."
***
Amarantha left a letter for Adam and entered the portal that appeared behind her more than five minutes ago. She sighed and shook her head. Recent news about Veronica had reached her, and she was imdiately summoned to a eting where they were supposed to decide this matter and determine how to punish her.
"What a hassle... Damn Veronica, won't she ever have a peaceful day."
