Chapter 204: Hiding in the shadows and guarding it like a mere watchdog
Flora Continent
"It appears the Dawn Kingdom is going the rise again... Ah" someone muttered.
"...." Rose Dawn and her sister Luna Dawn remained silent as they observed Alexander entering the Domain Realm.
"You're late... Adriana Dracula" The same emotionless voice echoed.
"sshhhh"
"I abandoned that surname long ago... Ms. Dawn" A voice resounded throughout the area as a woman appeared with silky black hair, small sharp ears, and sharp ruby-red eyes with dark outer rings that were colourless.
Her presence was imposing, and the air seemed to grow colder.
"M-Mother!!" Zera shouted as she ran towards her, about to hug her when,
"Zera Adriana!"
Hearing an indifferent voice, Zera's body flinched as she gulped and tried to back off.
"I told you not to separate from him"
".....I-I am so---"
"Scylla!" Ignoring her daughter's plea, Adriana shouted at the blue-haired woman. Her voice held a mix of anger and disappointment.
"...." Scylla had no choice but to bow her head, knowing she was responsible for letting this happen.
"ggrrr" Adriana gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anger and frustration.
She then shifted her gaze to Mia, who had fainted in Mariel's embrace.
"Tsk, Waste! Waste! Such a waste! Every single one of you is nothing but useless!" Adriana's expression grew angrier with each passing moment. Her eyes were fixed on the live video, watching Hero and the others battling the Dungeon Walker.
A dangerous glint gleamed in her eyes as she telekinetically lifted a few people who had been hiding nearby.
"Leave, before I obliterate every last one of your News stations"
Seeing her true anger, Reports who invaded the premises was petrified and immediately apologized, before running away.
"Y-Yes, Your M-ajesty"
"Yes, P-lease Forgive us"
"I-I am sorry"
"..."
...
"Ms. Adrian--"
"SHUT UP!! Alden Evergreen!!" Adriana's voice thundered, causing dark mana to seep from her, withering plants and reducing everything to ashes.
"....Ms. Adrian--"
"Allow me to enlighten you....Nex Academia will be the first to fall into oblivion, with no trace left of its thousands of years of history" Adriana declared, cutting off Headmaster, Alden Evergreen's words.
'Gulp'
Alden gulped audibly, fully grasping the fact that a certain single woman had obliterated millions of people in just minutes.
"M-Ms. Adriana... I've had discussions with council members, but..."
"So, they refused to relinquish the 'Nex Heart,' correct?" Adriana's expression shifted, her gaze directed toward Nex.
"Yes, the Nex Heart!" Suddenly, Scylla exclaimed, her eyes widening with realization as if she had just remembered something crucial.
Others looked at her with a frown.
"So, can we save him?" Scylla asked with a hopeful smile as she gazed at Adriana.
".... Yes, with the help of the Nex Heart, we can bypass the restrictions on the portal, but..." before Adriana could finish.
"Then let's take it!" Scylla declared with a determined look.
"We can't allow that" an emotionless voice interrupted from above. But Scylla didn't pay attention to anyone else; instead, she turned to Adriana.
"What are you waiting for?" She stood before Adriana.
"I knew it, this bitch would do something like that"
"....We just have to kill that slut face"
Their words made it clear that they were deadly serious, and everyone understood, while a certain old man's cry went unnoticed by anyone.
"...." The person who had appeared to block Adriana was left completely baffled, unable to comprehend these girls.
"Eli?" Everyone now focused on the person.
"Is he really a mortal?" That was the question on everyone's mind as they saw Eli. story by m|v_l,e,m,p,y,r
As they continued to watch in astonishment, they finally understood why Alysia, the Elven Princess/Queen, complied with the monster's order. But that didn't mean others could disregard the matter; her act of kneeling before the monster was really shameful and disrespectful as the ruler of the Flora Continent.
"He is inhaling too much Mana!!" Aadya said with a grim face.
"W-What you mean, Ms. Aadya?" Mia asked.
"....Well, that place was dominant with black mana so it was dangerous to draw mana from surrounding. Others could easily draw mana from their Soul Crystal since it acts as a storage, however..." Aadya adjusted her glass before glancing at Mariel and continued,
"Soulless, A Mortal using Mana Breathwork draws mana from their surroundings only so.....Those Dark Mana started to affect his body. There will a chance his body will be corrupted and....change into Fiends, A mindless Monster"
As soon as those words came out,
Eli was pinned down by the monster and dark patches appeared around his body.
"W-What should we---" Just as Mia and others were trembling again when,
/By the power of our pact
"ROOAAARRRRRRRR"
A deafening roar echoed around the world, startling everyone.
"D-Don't tell he---"
"Hehe..hahahahah, So, he finally tamed her...ah?"
"Hahahah.....hahaha Damn, I am sure from our torture, she must have felt, Eli is her saviour and all"
Both Adriana and Scylla laughed like maniacs, leaving others baffled by the situation.
"A-Adriana, don't tell me this--" The emotionless voice was cut.
"Mythical Beast that lost in the Dark Era" Scylla said with a smug smile.
Everyone had a shocked and astonished expression.
"I-It can't be, every Mythical Beast has gone extinct and nothing lef--" That figure mumbled but,
"Yes..." Adriana nodded and looked at Eli who sitting on the throne with a devilish smile....Everyone felt a shiver run through their spines.
"Heh...It's Fate, I guess" Adriana mumbled as she felt a tingling sensation in her stomach.
And What's more, they were stunned by the Dark Mana dissolving from Eli's body....it was truly one the shocking things that everyone in this world wanted to know.
'So, someone, able to stay sane even after being corrupted by Dark Mana' Those were thoughts that echoed in their mind.
"ROOAARRRRRRR!!!!"
To my side, I Summon You An-----/
Scylla watched as the video signal was finally cut off, and she couldn't help but think,
'Well, I don't want to accept this, but damn, that woman really knew what to do... she's more dangerous than Adriana.
Lilith wasn't an ordinary woman to begin with, and her obsession with Eli seemed to grow stronger every day. She received reports from Adriana and me about Asher Eli, "HER HUSBAND" tsk, regularly. Of course, I omitted some of the "important stuff".
But when Lilith learned that he had taken "two women" as servants, including the cat monster (Woman), she considered them a threat and was hell-bent on eliminating them....However, She controlled her urges for the sake of "HER HUSBAND" .
Tsk, I don't know why she was pressing those words as if itch it on our face...Anyway, She then said something really surprising that not only shocked me but also Adriana.
Lilith, who had lived longer than any of us, recognized the cat monster as an ancient mythical beast. She didn't understand why it was alive or how it had become an Overlord of a dungeon. But when she saw the servants' pictures, her expression changed dramatically, and she ordered them to torture the cat as much as possible....as well as Prisania.
Adriana reluctantly agreed although she didn't like the idea.
We likely get an idea of what she trying to do....but, I am saying the second time, 'That woman really dangerous' just like how she allowed me to be with him after knowing how to use me for my powers 'Tsk' She was really a cunning woman I have to be careful around her'.
Then everyone saw that the red portal was starting to change into white.
