Evolution: Conqueror - Chapter 115

Amogrid(Palace of Eternal slumber)

Ayaseh’s POV,

“It’s so nice of you to join us Milensaroniz”,Goltan says with sheepish grin, The Dwarf was obviously excited about the woman of his dreams joining his side but at the same time anxious that I would cause a scene. Can’t blame him though, this woman is infuriating but I will be as magnanimous as I have always been.

“What made you change your mind?!”I asked with a raised eyebrow, after all her joining our Alliance at this time was quite fishy.

Milen wasn’t shocked by my question, in fact, she relaxed further into her chair and looked at me. She was originally a member of the Sea-folk before becoming a God, so she had pale blue skin and glowing yellow irises that looked like gems, red hair that flowed down her body’s curves like a water fall.

She had her usual smile on her face as she said words that left me confused for a second, “I didn’t realize I missed you this much before, well not until I saw you today again at least…”

Silence filled the Hall and I noticed everyone looking at each other’s faces and questioning if they were dreaming, I shared the same feeling as well.

“don’t mind my words but I am serious, the sea has been so boring, no one to…” And then she began to blab about who did this or that and how Ragol brought Mileesi to conjure an orb within the sea…

“Why us” I finally asked.

Milen looks around and noticed everyone else wanted to know the answer to this question as well, “your alliance is the only one I’m familiar with, I know and have a certain level of trust with each of you, yes even you…on the other, Ragol makes me sick when I see him, totally disgusting, especially with those worms wrapped around his left arm and the neutral guys are filled with the old ones, besides Ragol, Petos is so annoying, he keeps stealing…” And she began going on and on, Totally derailing from the original discussion.

But honestly we stopped listening when she mentioned Ragol having worms on his left arm.

Horjen looked at me with a solemn expression and I’m pretty sure I was mirroring her expression as well, this only meant one of two possibilities.

‘Ragol was either tempted by the world eater or was using and trying to understand it’s powers.’

“Someone’s here” Carx says to me and I simply nod my head, everyone immediately shut down their discussions as they were curious about who would come see us.

As soon as they were settled, I allowed the other party to enter the palace.

“Helios?” I stated casually in greeting but he didn’t respond, he had an ugly expression with a tinge of anger.

The Dark elf looked at everyone in the room and says somewhat sarcastically, “With all due respect, oh great mother of the night, I have been tasked with getting answers from you”.

“…” Taking my silence as agreement, he continued, “we would like to know your thoughts on the death of Mayo’s, the master of the veil”.

“it was stated that, two of your members were seen leaving the area…”

I quickly cut him off the moment I understood what this was about, “so you are saying that my alliance is once again suspected without any tangible evidence?”.

“If you put it like that it would seem…”Helios tried to explain but was cut off by Horjen.

“We had no hand on Mayos’s death”.

“…” Helios fell silent and decided to leave the topic for now, He then said “It’s almost time for the battle to begin and as you are aware, we all agreed on us Gods not Interfering with the outcome of the game…”.

“For peace to reign amongst the Gods, we’ll leave everything to whatever happens in the mortal realm”.

“Does this affect the other six planes?”the usually distracted Neah asked suddenly, this was a question everyone was curious about.

hearing it, Helios became solemn “No…we need to remember how we lost Gerit plane eight hundred years ago”.

His words made everyone silent but I had to say or rather ask this question, “Has Ragol agreed to these terms?”.

“Of course, he was the first one to bring up the suggestion” Helios spoke in outrage, perhaps feeling like we were doubting him and the other neutral Gods.

“…” Silence…

I’m sure everyone was thinking what I was thinking as well but this was not the time to discuss it.

“Very well, we shall continue with the idea of using the main plane, Luegad, as the battleground for this…Game” I declared in a Curt manner and Helios looked at me strangely, perhaps surprised by my decisive action.

He approached the table before adjusting his green robe to sit amongst us, he looked at us one by one before saying to me, “I know rumor has it that, you have taken a champion and for some reason, you decided to pick an illegitimate child of the Fairchild family… she has already started making moves even though the game has not begun, did you order her to take such actions?”.

Now I was really confused, I wanted to speak but I chose otherwise… isn’t this what I wanted, give Torug more time to develop… Last I checked, he has already surpassed Ragol’s little champion and might be targeted for secret assassinations, this is for the best…

So I chose to remain silent and luckily this guys have been with me long enough to know what I was doing, Milen doesn’t know who my champion is either or she could accidentally blab about it somewhere, too bad we need her power, “…”

“I see…if it so, then we can give Ragol permission…” Helios sighed while standing up…

“Permission to do what?!!”I asked quickly but the stupid elven God ported away just as fast.

A deep frown was etched on my face but what was important was that the abyss were becoming restless because of my flunctuating emotions, I need to calm down…

“Aaaah!!Ragol!”I roared, thinking about all the possibility and wondering, ‘just what nonsense has he gone to feed the old Gods… After all, they were the ones with the final decision on the neutral side.

‘Hmph! old Gods? are you even worthy?’ I thought with gritted teeth, “I’ll go see those old fools…”

Horjen adds from the side, “I’m coming with you!”

The others then sighed in relief and I could only say, “Fine… it’s not I was going to cause trouble”.

Perhaps taking my words lightly , Horjen wore a confused expression, “I don’t know why I have a hard time believing that”.

Torug’s POV,

“Blackmoon lake” I muttered under my breath as I looked at lake before me.

“Still… just still” I sighed and began thinking about the description of the creature in the lake, it was an important part of the books storyline mid Novel.

“A creature that evolved and swallowed one of the world’s three moons” I looked up at the sky and watched the the three moons getting closer by each passing day, when they all align, the moon will turn purple and that’s is the so called purple moon, magic becomes more active and gives one an exp boost.

Although in actuality, it was not exactly the Moon that was swallowed but the treasure in the lake.

‘Just what is the mystery of Blackmoon lake’ After much thought, I decided that I would use one sigil slot on this creature…

“My Chief, the Goblins ‘slaves’ has set off for Hise, they’ll arrive in three days”. Moz’s voice came from behind me.

“Very well… you can join Urim and train the new raiders”

“ok.!”

“Kharag Greyeye, you dare touch and covet what’s mine…then I believe you deserve a nice present”.
