Chapter 376: Hints to find Keys
"What\'s in it for you? You won\'t ever speak to us much less help us... What is it you\'re up to?" Iguanas\'s Sentinel asked with a deep frown, representing the collective doubt.
Lilith\'s grin widened as if expecting this question. "Hmmm... I am just aiding my people who work tirelessly to protect the world," she said, though everyone sensed there was more to it than met the eye.
"Do you expect us to believe that woman?" Iguanas\'s Sentinel was blunt in their scepticism.
"Hmm... Thank goodness. I prefer honesty," Lilith replied with a sly smile, seemingly relieved they weren\'t easily swayed, "Anyhow, All I ask is that you never mention me to my husband... if, by chance, he pays you a visit," she added with a knowing glint in her eyes as she inwardly, \'and Something tells me he is going to visit them personally....\'.
"That\'s all?" Dawn\'s Sentinel raised an eyebrow, sensing there was a hidden agenda.
"Yeap, that\'s all," Lilith confirmed with a nonchalant nod, her smile never faltering.
"So, you really are married... ah," Chola\'s Sentinel muttered in realization, understanding the context of Lilith\'s request.
"Yes... Hehehe..." Lilith giggled playfully, flashing her golden ring as a symbol of her Love, "I am a happily married woman!" she declared with genuine joy.
\'Clap, Clap\'
Everyone applauded, offering their congratulations and silently contemplating why she felt so different than before.
"So, is he the one that you have been searching for?" Dawn\'s Sentinel asked, curiosity evident in her tone.
"Nah... That person I am searching for is your Kingdom\'s Hero..." Lilith replied casually, her gaze drifting to her ring as she spoke fondly of her search, she found a diamond in a pile of rocks!
"What? Then why--" Before Dawn\'s Sentinel could finish her sentence, Lilith interrupted, her tone firm, "I chose the person whom I like, and Your Kingdom\'s Hero is totally shittier than your Kingdom\'s King Lucian!!... Your Kingdom is really messed up!!" Her words cut through the air with a directness that left Dawn\'s Sentinel momentarily speechless.
Dawn\'s Sentinel couldn\'t respond to the heart-piercing words.
"Hahahaah...." Chola\'s Sentinel burst into laughter, the tension momentarily broken by Lilith\'s blunt honesty.
"Anyhow, let me be clear.... If he somehow comes for you guys, don\'t divulge anything about me to him," Lilith warned, her expression serious and eyes piercing.
The group nodded in agreement, acknowledging that what Lilith had provided was more than fair given the circumstances. They understood the value of her gift and saw no issue in complying with her request.
"And Lilith... I want to ask you something," Chola\'s Sentinel said, her voice tinged with a mix of concern and determination.
"Go on," Lilith responded casually, her demeanour giving off an air of nonchalance.
"I need to make this clear: if your husband dares to lay a finger on my beloved daughters again... I won\'t hesitate to Kill him," Chola\'s Sentinel declared, her eyes flashing with fierce resolve.
Lilith simply shrugged a hint of amusement in her eyes. "Go on, I don\'t mind..." she replied, her tone surprisingly indifferent to the threat.
Her response left everyone in the room stunned. They exchanged silent glances, wondering about the complexities of Lilith\'s relationship and her true feelings \'Does she not love him or anything?\' they thought in unison.
Then, with an abrupt change in tone and a hint of madness in her voice, Lilith added with crazy expression, "As long as you don\'t want your daughters to be skinned alive and broken apart in front of you..."
"LILITH!!" Chola\'s Sentinel shouted in anger.
"Calm down!" Dawn\'s Sentinel intervened, saying, "I don\'t think he\'s bad. If you meet him, you\'ll find him funny. I have met him, he is just a child who likes to play around" as she looked at Chola\'s Sentinel and tried to calm her emotions.
\'Snort,\' Chola\'s Sentinel scoffed before shifting her gaze to another empty seat, her expression a mix of frustration and intrigue.
"That bitch is still hiding in the water" Lilith muttered, her eyes lingering on the empty chair as well.
"Sigh, It\'s been years since she\'s made herself scarce. It\'s like she\'s deliberately avoiding us," Dawn\'s Sentinel remarked with a hint of resignation.
Among them were the five sentinels representing Dawn, Theos, Chola, Fallen, and Iguanus, along with a representative from the Flora Continent, leaving only the lone seat from Atlantis\'s Sentinel... Six members for Six Ruling Parties!
"I heard your husband was able to summon a creature from ancient times?" Chola\'s Sentinel inquired with genuine curiosity, hoping to glean some insight into the recent events.
"Hehehe... My husband is truly exceptional, don\'t you agree?" Lilith\'s voice carried a tone of admiration as she spoke of her husband\'s prowess, a smile of pride playing on her lips. This proves that her husband was holding the spirit of an ancient god inside him!
She wondered when these maggots going to shit their pants when they saw her husband\'s true powers, \'heh heh....\' she giggled inside.
"..." The other sentinels exchanged uneasy glances, as they felt Lilith was hiding something.
"Anyhow, I must take my leave," Lilith announced abruptly, her departure as mysterious as her arrival.
After she left,
"What is she planning now?" The question hung in the air, unanswered and unsettling, as the sentinels dispersed, leaving behind an empty space that seemed to hold echoes of uncertainty and apprehension.
"ssshhh"
a whisper echoed in the void as the space itself seemed to warp and vanish, as though retreating into the folds of a mysterious realm, leaving nothing behind!
Coming the Terra World,
"-Huff-Huff-Hufff-" A golden-haired boy raced desperately, pursued by a monstrous four-legged creature whose roars echoed through the dense wilderness.
"Fuck!" His cry cut through the air as he narrowly avoided the creature\'s grasping claws, his heart pounding with adrenaline-fueled fear.
Spotting a swirling portal nearby, a glimmer of hope ignited within him. With a determined grin, he sprinted towards the shimmering gateway, desperation lending wings to his feet.
Moments before the monstrous beast could ensnare him, he dove into the portal, vanishing into its mysterious depths.
Upon emerging on the other side, the golden-haired boy collapsed, gasping for air as he lay sprawled on the unfamiliar ground. His gaze shifted skyward,
"BOOMM!!" A deafening explosion rocked the heavens, casting a brilliant cascade of golden and blue light across the firmament.
"What in the hell is going on?" His voice rang out in bewilderment, his eyes narrowing as he observed the bright blue light!
Though the tumult above the Nex Academy intrigued him, he soon redirected his focus, clutching a small golden sword in his hand with a determined gleam in his eyes.
"I am coming for you, Asher Eli," The golden-haired boy or... Alexander declared with a sly grin on his face.
Far away from him,
"Young Master, what is happening there?" Theodare, with his yellow hair stark against the backdrop of destruction.
The black-haired boy, Amir Osvaldo\'s gaze, however, was fixed not on the overwhelming brilliance but on the impenetrable panel before him, its cryptic message demanding urgent action.
[Urgent Mission: Kill Asher Eli.
Time limit: As soon as possible or before the Opening of the First Dungeon!
Reward: Hints to find Keys to unlock the Sealed Doors
Failure: Deletion of Villainous System]
\'System, why the sudden change in plan?\' Amir queried internally, seeking clarity.
[Ding]
[Due to the appearance of irregularity in the world that changed the course of nature and time]
\'So, he is the priority Over everything?\' Amir asked again.
[Ding]
[Yes, Please do the urgent mission at any cost!!]
"I see...." Amir nodded in grim resolve, turning to Theodare, "Finish this village; we have other problems to take care of."
Though Theodare harboured questions, he complied, his actions leaving a trail of devastation and despair in the small village. The people\'s screams and pleas for mercy were drowned in the chaos they wrought.
"Be grateful, Mortals!! My lord has shown you mercy!!" Theodare\'s voice boomed with a menacing echo, instilling fear in those who witnessed their wrath.
"PUFFFFF!!!!!"
A roaring inferno erupted, consuming the village in its fiery embrace as screams gave way to silence, swallowed by the relentless blaze. Theodare swiftly gathered the soul crystals of the fallen, presenting them to Amir with solemn reverence.
"Young Master"
Amir accepted the soul crystals without a word, swallowing each one as his eyes flickered with souring energy from the eating the soul crystals.
