Chapter 879 - Let Show You My Hospitality
The beautiful lady, Amalthea, seed to look in William's direction for quite so ti, before she shifted her gaze back to the handso man in front of her.
"I'm going ahead first." Amalthea patted the handso man's shoulder with a smile.. "Don't miss too much."
The handso man sighed, "You're asking for the impossible."
Amalthea smiled mischievously as her body started to float.
"Rember this, Dias," Amalthea said softly. "You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. As to what you wish to do in the future, know that I will always be on your side."
The beautiful lady then transford into a golden beam of light and shot towards the Heavens.
The handso man watched this scene with tears streaming down his face. A few monts later, several stars appeared in the sky forming the constellation that would be later known as the zodiac sign Capricorn.
William, who had watched everything unfold, felt an ache in his heart. Although this was the first ti that he had seen the beautiful lady with long, light blue hair, he felt that he had seen her before.
He believed that she was soone very dear to him, soone who had been with him for a very long ti.
As William stared at the bright stars that were shining in the sky, he could feel that soone was looking at him.
Shifting his gaze to the handso man who was standing just a few ters away from him, the Half-Elf realized that the man whose na was, Dias, was looking at him intently. Tear-stains could be seen on his face, and yet, that didn't tarnish his good looks, which made him look more… Human.
"Friend who doesn't belong in this era, why are you crying?" Dias asked.
"Crying? I'm not cryi–," William wasn't able to finish his words because he had subconsciously raised his hands to touch his face.
He could feel sothing wet on his fingers and that was when he realized that he had cried without knowing that he cried.
Dias smiled, as he wiped the tears in his own eyes as he tried his best to look composed and dignified in front of the stranger whom he was seeing for the first ti.
"Very few people are able to reach this place," Dias stated. "I can see that you are a mortal, albeit not an ordinary one. So, tell , friend, did you co from the past, or perhaps the future?"
Dias gave William a critical gaze as he pondered why such a person had arrived in one of the most secluded places in the world.
The Half-Elf shook his head because he didn't know the answer to this question. After appearing in the Deadlands, his concept of past, present, and future, had completely changed.
The man in front of him was wearing elegant clothes that wouldn't look out of place in the world of Hestia, so he couldn't tell which tiline he was in.
Seeing his discomfort, Dias chuckled as he walked up to William with a smile.
The Handso man was taller than William, and his body was also more refined than his own.
Dias radiated a powerful presence that William was very familiar with. The Half-Elf had no doubt in his mind that the person that was in front of him was a God, and a very powerful one at that.
"C-Can you tell who that beautiful lady is?" William inquired. He really wanted to know the identity of the beautiful lady who had made his heart ache, just by looking at her.
Dias imdiately frowned after hearing William's question. The two-ter tall handso man grabbed the red-headed teenager by the scruff of his neck and raised him easily with one hand.
"Boy, I know that Amalthea is beautiful and no mortal is capable of taking their eyes off her," Dias said in a voice with a trace of anger, "but she's off limits. It will be best if you forget about her. Do I make myself clear?"
Lightning crackled around the man's body and thunder bood in the heavens. Clearly, Dias didn't like people who were trying to get any information regarding Amalthea.
Knowing that he might get into trouble if he continued the discussion, William nodded, which prompted Dias to release him.
"Sorry," Dias apologized after regaining his calm. "My emotions got the better of ."
"It's fine," William replied. "I was being rude by asking for information about her out of the blue. Let introduce myself first. My na is William Von Ainsworth. Just call William."
Dias nodded in acknowledgent. "Just call Dias. Tell , friend. What is your purpose for coming here? Do you need sothing from ?"
William blinked once then twice before finally rembering how he had appeared in this strange place. He then told Dias the truth, in the hope that the handso man would be able to help him unlock the final Job Class of his Prince of Thunder Job Class.
"I ca here through the Hall of Thunder," William answered. "I reached a bottleneck, and I need help in order to make a breakthrough. I am hoping that you can help ."
Dias rubbed his chin as he eyed William from head to toe. "You said you ca from the Hall of Thunder, correct?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
Without giving any warning, Dias pressed his palm over William's chest and shot a powerful lightning bolt at point blank range.
The Half-Elf flew several ters away until he slamd into the wall of the mountain next to the one that they were standing on.
Smoke rose up from William's chest, as he propped himself from the ground. The Half-Elf then looked at his burned robe in shock because even the Heavenly Thunder that he had faced in the Seventh Sanctum wasn't able to destroy it while his Prince of Thunder Job Class was equipped.
Unknown to William, Dias was more shocked than him because he didn't expect that his strike was only strong enough to burn the Half-Elf's clothes. Although he didn't attack with the intention to kill, the lightning bolt he unleashed was still enough to give serious injuries to soone that was hit by it.
The reason he had attacked William was because he thought the boy was lying. Only those that had the power to wield the Power of Thunder and Lightning could enter the Hall of Thunder.
Right now, the only one who could enter that sacred place in this world, was none other than himself.
Angered by Dias' sudden attack, William also fired a lightning bolt in the God's direction.
The handso man didn't move and allowed the lightning bolt to hit him.
Although William expected it, he still felt pissed when the lightning bolt dispersed before it even hit Dias' body.
"I see, so you hold considerable power as well." Dias nodded. "I now believe your claim that you have co from the Hall of Thunder."
William wanted to slap Dias so badly. Gods were known to be able to tell if soone was lying or not. So, he didn't believe that Dias didn't know that he was telling the truth.
Seeing his face filled with injustice, the handso man raised an eyebrow.
'Strange. I can't tell if he's lying or not,' Dias thought. 'Also, I can't read his thoughts. This is the first ti that this has happened. I'm really curious about this mortal's identity now.'
After William changed his robes, he didn't dare move closer to the unpredictable God who seed to be suffering from mood swings.
"Since this is a special occasion, why don't you co with , William?" Dias asked. "I will take you to a place to enjoy good food, wine, and won. What do you say?"
"Sorry, but I'll pass," William answered. 'Hmp! Do you think I'm stupid? Why would I go with a crazy god like you?'
Dias appeared beside William and pressed his hand over the Half-Elf's shoulder. "But I insist. Co, let show you my hospitality."
Before William could voice his rejection, Dias had already grabbed his waist and turned into a lightning bolt, streaking across the night sky.
The red-headed teenager was powerless because the God held him in a vice-grip, preventing him from breaking free.
In the end, he decided to give up and just go with the flow.
Perhaps after spending so ti with this moody, yet handso, man, he would find a way to break through his bottleneck and unlock the final form of his Prince of Thunder Job Class.
