"Lord Nix, A angel with a few soldiers has arrived at our clan house,"
Helina said as Nix was about to walk out of the clan house.
{It seems you cannot train today. Tch, you are unfortunate.}
"Yeah"
He sighed and turned towards Helina.
"I'll et em'."
He replied and went straight to the second floor where his office was located.
As he passed by the waiting hall, he felt a pair of eyes locked on him. He slightly turned and found an Angel sitting there with a face devoid of any emotion.
It was Yeril who he last saw in the destroyed city, Lerinare.
She was sitting along with a few soldiers. The number of the n was lower than when he last t them. Even though he warned them about sothing that was about to befall, they didn't accept it.
It was Yeril's blunder for not believing in his words. Mayhap her n must've been overwheld by the sky ogres or it would have been so other calamity.
Her golden pupils followed the path Nix passed. The soldiers looked at his office room in a baffled manner. None revealed Nix's na when they enquired about eting him in the reception, other than addressing him as the Transgressor lord.
So, it was indeed a shock for both Yeril and her mbers. Even though the town folk ntioned his na they thought it was a re coincidence and they were also surprised about how he had already arrived before them.
He took his seat and placed his legs on the chair with a cigarette in his mouth and smoked for a few minutes.
Finally, he called out the maid and asked her to let Yeril into his office.
"Nice to et you, Lord of Transgressors."
She gave a slight bow and said with a little smirk courteously.
He pressed the smoke on the ashtray, rose from his seat, kissed her hand courteously, and offered her a seat.
"Welco, Ms.Yeril"
Since it was an official eting he decided to handle it in a professional manner without inserting his rage against her.
"I believe we are fated to cross paths."
She said,
This was rely a roundabout way to start a conversation. Angels believe themselves superior to other beings and they possess a pride beyond any other racial beings. So it was her basically embarrassed to start talking with him since the last ti she arrogantly spouted that "Hope our paths don't cross."
"I will get straight to the point. I don't want you to go in a roundabout way."
He said and looked at her eyes and continued.
"You are here to enquire about Rebecca or take her back to Ranrak. I will say this once. I not letting her go and I absorbed sublimity if you ca to procure that."
"As expected of soone who reached this place at a monstrous speed. I understand what you're saying. But, this will bring abomination to you and your town."
She said politely looking at him with her half-opened eyelids.
"Should I take this as a Threat?"
He said placing his legs on the table and hands behind his head in a cold manner.
"I'm sorry Lord of Transgressors, please hear what I am about to say."
"Yes? You may continue..."
He said arrogantly.
It was not easy for him to just forget her even though she was a re pawn.
"After we left you near the mountain, I was given a divine trial. Firstly the Goddess of wisdom has banished . To soothe your anger..."
A Divine trial is where gods test their Emissaries, The angels. They vary by different tasks but, in the end, it is always about increasing their followers. In fact, they'll try to brainwash people and try to spread their Ralugerism to increase their authority over humanity.
Raluger is nothing but Regular in reverse. Ralugerism is a religion that follows the Gods of Integrity. Ralurism possesses a large fraction of humanity following it just like Corruptism.The more temples and churches they build the more divinity the gods gain. It was the sa for corrupted gods.
"Soothe my rage? Do you think I'll just forget everything?..." He said after hitting the wooden desk with imnse force while gritting his teeth.
Her calm deanor didn't change yet, her eyes were welled up with tears.
"Please show rcy and understand my situation. I was rely an emissary of the gods..."
{Calm...Handle everything calmly.}
Astaroth said standing next to him.
"Don't interfere in everything. I respect you, but you wouldn't know what I went through..."
{Hah, do as you wish!}
Astaroth pouted and went back inside the dagger.
"I understand you are just a pawn. Leave before I kill you and tell you that I'll co for Ranrak King's head."He said coldly.
"Lord of Transgressor, As I said I am banished from the Ether world and other cities. I cannot stay in Outlaw dominant cities or Dracton. I am restricted from entering Regulars cities or the Royal dynasties. Unlike your situation, I am in a harder situation. You are soone that accepts both factions. I seek permission to stay in your town."
"Hmm, Before that. I guess your trail is sothing like building a temple inside the town. Gain more followers in this town?"
Her pupils dilated as he predicted it.
"Yes... But, it is not exactly what you said."
She replied hesitantly, unable to explain or answer him.
"I have no choice but to banish you out. After all, you did the sa to ." He said looking at Angel's eyes which were mixed with emotions, feeling ecstatic.
"But..."
"I don't have anything to talk about with you." He said and picked the book on the table and laid his eyes on it.
"Please listen to ..."
She said, grabbing his hands with pleading eyes.
"What will I gain, if I let you stay here? Rember I'll refrain you from overcoming your trial. You'll have two choices. One is to die in the wild or live here doing so diocre job that'll let you lead a half-ass life."
"I accept..."
She smiled at him and looked at him with her eyes that were welled up with tears. A slimr of hope was visible in her eyes.
It was certainly his second ti observing an Angel showing emotion in her face. Last was when he abducted the angel of Ferandel that protected Havenkat.
He smiled evilly and began talking, placing his hand on her shoulder as he drew his face closer towards her face making eye contact.
"Good but, you know what?"
"?"
She just blankly stared at him.
"Leave this town now."
He said coldly with a nacing smile, one which contained nothing but happiness and malice. After all, he suffered a lot. Why wouldn't he feel happy playing with her feelings? It was not an act of proper revenge but it gave him a strange ecstasy.
"But..."
She broke down and began crying falling on the floor and scread at the top of her lungs.
"You! Why are you turning your anger towards ?"
He didn't pay heed to anyone that entered his office room.
Gunther, Cinzia, and Remo all the three of them rushed to his office in a startle and found him clutching the angel by her neck.
Few of her soldiers also walked towards the office.
"Gunther, Cinzia Kill those soldiers. And leave one of them to tell the tale."
Imdiately both of them followed his order and slaughtered down the remaining soldiers.
"Are you in a place to question now? Your bitch-ass is abandoned by the very gods you served. You still have the nerve to ask to let you build followers for the sa gods who abandoned you? Are they crazy? Perhaps you are crazy? Don't they know I am the sa guy they banished? Why would they send you to play in my hands? Huh?"
He bombarded her with questions, looking into her with his cold eyes, and dropped her down.
"You'll stay here and we'll visit a temple tomorrow. I have had enough of those gods ga."
He said and pushed her towards Remo.
"Show her a room and place Tarok as her security."
"Sure boss"
He said and left with her.
The following evening he went to the eting hall where several of the mbers were assembled.
"I have only one thing to say."
He said standing before his mbers.
"Yes, I bombarded Lerinare. Firstly I apologize for not elaborating on the plan."
He said, staring at his mbers and continued.
"Secondly, I'd like to thank you all. And to those who think I am a tyrant. I'd like to say a simple thing. I did what I did. I am not going to give bullshit excuses. I am responsible for what I did. Was there any strong clan that had the power to defeat Zerast? To top it all off. I have destroyed the commander and all the five deputy commanders. I also killed Feroz khan of hell hounds."
As he ntioned 'Hell hounds and Feroz khan', the mbers began to murmur.
"Indeed, I have killed Feroz khan. The infamous immortal old man. Thanks to our Clan's alchemist Mr.Vikil. Our clan succeeded in this."
He broke the murmurings and looked at Vikil who had a dispirited expression on his face as he looked at Nix.
Nix believed he was quite disappointed in him. Since he did not discuss why he exploited his invention. Well, he didn't have a choice other than using Vikil to create such a weapon. The timing he had was also low for him to explain why he needed neon explosives in such quantities.
He used Daisy to copy his formula to create those Neon explosives. She earned the title of Prodigy of Alchemy which was suitable for her fast alchemy skill although she was lacking she copied his formula and finished it before they Reached Lerinare while traveling in the sky.
"The eting ends here. If anyone wants to speak. Co forward."
Nix said and waited for so hands to rise. But, none did.
"Alright, I guess we are clear from assumptions."
He said and walked out of the eting hall and went straight towards the alchemy laboratory.
"Hello, Mr. Vikil!"
"Mr.Nix... Why didn't you explain what you are going to do with my formula."
"I had my circumstances. I apologize for not intimating and copying your formula."
"I want my na to be known. Everyone is speaking about the explosive Daisy prepared. But I am the inventor..."
This explains why he was angry. Vikil was actually angered by the fact that Daisy took his work instead of him and gained the na. This was exactly what he was longing for. 'Recognition' instead of hate he received in his past. He was in ecstasy since people were surprised by his invention and spoke as a hot topic. It was rather new for him.
He felt superior. This was just the beginning of his god complex.
So scientists are mad. This is a given,considering Vikil who was a complete madlad in his past. So, it is not surprising for him to feel happy for his invention getting so recognition. Even though it was a weapon of destruction.
"Indeed you are the inventor. This is why I specifically thanked you in the eting hall."
As Nix stated that he rembered that he really did ntion his na particularly and smiled at Nix.
"Yes... Thank you, Mr.Nix. Sorry for throwing a tantrum like a child. This is my first ti getting this much recognition for my work."
"No problem."
Nix said and walked out of the lab.
{You did well. You've cleared up the ss in your clan.}
Astaroth comnted with a smile.
"Sure, thanks to you too."
