Village Head's Debauchery - Chapter 1094: Confronting The Terrifying Foes

“True, I can sense something familiar in them,” the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn replied, agreeing with her words.

In an instant, Seth was lifted from the ground as if held by an invisible force. He was dragged forward, arriving before them. Seth tried to open his mouth to speak but found he couldn’t move his lips. Even his voice was sealed, preventing him from screaming.

“Such pure Vylkr energy! It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn said.

He sensed the bracelet on their wrists, though it was vastly different from what the gods’ chosen wore. Combined with the pure Vylkr energy they exuded and the fact they had been sent by their sovereign to investigate this territory-following the deaths of the previous Vylkr spawns killed by a god-he began to doubt their identity.

“Introduce yourselves,” the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn added.

Suddenly, the overwhelming pressure surrounding Orion and Zogar dissipated. They stood to their feet and looked upward. Orion’s gaze fixed on Seth, suspended in the air before he nodded and stepped forward.

“It’s an honour to be in your presence, emissaries of Lord Naka,” Orion said, bowing toward the two Vylkr spawns.

“How do you know that name? If you don’t want this to be your last breath, speak truthfully,” the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn demanded, his voice booming.

The slender dragon Vylkr spawn frowned deeply, scrutinizing the mortals before her more closely.

Orion nodded swiftly in response. From the report he had received from Aegis of the Arctic Deity during the previous Vylkr spawns’ arrival, he knew they were unaware of the territory’s history or the identities of its inhabitants.

So, Orion understood they hadn’t been informed about their true identities and were primarily interested in the god who had killed the prior Vylkr spawns investigating the Vylkr artefact. His task now was to rectify that oversight and show the utmost respect to Naka, hoping this would ensure smoother future discussions.

If things went wrong, they would have no choice but to abandon everything and return to Paradise. Orion hoped that Ilse would rescue them on time.

“I am Orion, the Supreme Leader of the now destroyed Paradise; Naka once cared for my ancestors, and we, in return, worshipped his name for generations. But some time in the past, he vanished, leaving us to survive on our own. Because of him, we learned to harness Vylkr energy, so after learning about your identities, we decided to honour your presence as his return,” Orion said.

“When the previous emissaries arrived during the first Vylkr artefact magical formation, we suspected another arrival after the second artefact emerged. So, we waited. Thankfully, you’ve come, confirming our assumption. Emissaries of Naka, we desire only peace and understanding. We would be grateful for any information about Lord Naka and his current location.”

“But we were informed that the last Vylkr spawns who came here were killed by the god of this territory. How can we be sure that you’re telling the truth?” The slender dragon Vylkr spawn asked, her slit eyes narrowed on Orion.

Although the mortal’s words moved her, especially considering that her companion remained silent and contemplative, they did not show visible expressions. They were aware of their creator’s various experiments and his tendency to abandon failures.

Nonetheless, they were still weakened from their encounter with the Divine Corps and needed time to recover. So, they were vigilant to avoid any potential attack by the suspected god.

“Oh! You are mistaken. The god who attacked the previous Emissaries of Naka was not the ruler of this territory. He was simply attracted to the Vylkr artefact, which resulted in a battle between outsiders. The battle was so horrific that we lost our home,” Orion said, channelling his lightning to make tears stream from his eyes. His voice cracked as he stretched his hand towards the direction of the Vylkr alloy mine.

Hearing the mortal’s words, the slender dragon Vylkr spawn turned to look at the immense crater before her and surveyed the territory’s state. Although faint, they could sense various rifts in space and lingering divine energy, indicating a significant battle had occurred here. The heavy presence of Vylkr energy made the mortal’s words believable to them.

“If your words are true, then you should have no problem allowing me to see through your memories to verify,” the dark brown feathered phoenix Vylkr spawn said.

Orion opened his mouth to speak, but a mysterious force seized him. Like Seth, he was immediately lifted into the air and suspended before the Vylkr spawns.

Internally, Orion’s mind raced as he tried to find a solution to his current predicament. Unsure of the Vylkr spawn’s power, he could only hope that the Divine Technique that Aerialia had taught to protect his mind was effective.

Zogar moved to act, intending to pursue Orion and Seth. He realized their plan would fail if the Vylkr spawns probed the Village Chief’s memories. However, an invisible force pressed upon him, slamming him to the ground with a resounding “BOOM!” Cracks spread outward like spiderwebs as Zogar discovered he couldn’t lift a finger or move.

“The only reason I spared your lives is that you appear more interesting. If you move again, I will not hesitate to kill you,” the slender dragon Vylkr spawn said.

Zogar clenched his teeth, locking eyes with Orion. Despite expecting a significant difference in strength between himself and the Vylkr spawns, feeling it firsthand sent chills down his spine. He wasn’t even given the chance to launch an attack.

Meanwhile, Orion suddenly experienced a sharp pain in his mind. After a few minutes, the pain subsided, but then a familiar and dreadful scream erupted below him.

Orion glanced around and quickly realized that the scream had originated from Zogar. He also understood that Zogar and Seth were undergoing memory searches by the Vylkr spawns.

“You claim to be telling the truth, yet you are all practising a Divine Technique capable of protecting your minds from outside interference. Why would you learn such a technique if not to hide your secrets from prying eyes? Regardless, it’s still not enough to keep me away. I simply have to rip your mind open piece by piece and glimpse through everything as I wish. You should have taken my benevolence when you had the chance…” The dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn replied, but he was suddenly interrupted. “Wait, I’ll tell you everything you need to know.”

He bent his body to look downwards.

The person who had spoken was none other than Zogar.

Zogar gritted his teeth in anger. If any of them were to die now, it would be a massive setback for Paradise. However, Goddess Ilse must be prepared to rescue them from their current plight. As the only one capable of speaking, Zogar knew he had to say something to delay their attempt to kill them.

Zogar felt his body rise from the ground, suspended high in the air by an overbearing invisible force. He groaned painfully at the sudden movement.

“Go ahead and speak; I don’t have much time to waste,” the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn replied. If he wanted to break through the Divine Technique protecting their minds, they would lose some of their memories, potentially rendering them incapable of remembering who they previously were. Whether the lost memory would be essential was a risk he wasn’t willing to take.

Nonetheless, they hadn’t planned to release them but to take them with them. Their words were merely to help them verify the validity of their statements before they began to break through their minds to ensure they hadn’t missed any vital information. He was confident that they would get what they wanted, as no mortal would dare lie in the presence of a god, especially with their lives on the line.

Zogar gulped internally. “I can…,” he began but was interrupted as the space above them tore

open.

Zogar sighed inwardly, realizing that Goddess Ilse had finally decided to rescue them. ‘It’s

about time,’ Zogar thought.

Seth sighed in relief within his heart.

Orion was also incredibly relieved by Ilse’s dramatic arrival.

The two Vylkr spawns turned to focus on the direction of the torn space in the sky.

Sensing a familiar signature, the slender dragon lips curved into a frown. “It appears they were clever enough not to follow the false trail we left behind but to follow our original trail,” she remarked, her tone cold.

“Take them and flee. I’ll hold them off and catch up with you later,” the dark brown feathered pheonix replied, soaring towards the direction of the torn space.

“Are you sure? We are in no condition to engage in another battle,” the slender dragon Vylkr

spawn replied, her frown deepening.

“We still aren’t sure if a god is waiting in hiding to attack us. And although I doubt their strength will be sufficient, it’s best not to take the risk,” the dark brown-feathered phoenix Vylkr spawn’s voice sounded behind as he arrived before the torn space.
