The Archangel of Death - Chapter 134
134: The plans 134: The plans Chapter 134 The preliminaries were nothing but a waste of time.
On the second day when I won once again and qualified to become one of the 25 students to advance to the next round of preliminaries, due to my overwhelming wins, it was decided that I wouldn’t take part to keep the number of participants even and simply advance to the next round.
However, I was still required to come so I wasted an entire day doing nothing.
Thirteen people passed from my group and the same number from the other four groups.
A total of sixty-five participants including the seven apostles and Alicia.
However, only eight students could advance to the quarter-finals so there was still a test that everyone had to pass to be qualified for that.
A dungeon test.
The same one where Adrian died.
But there were still two days for that.
The weekend was few so I decided to train my skills.
None of them were anywhere near a level up but the ocean is made of a lot of drops.
So even though it would take me a long time, I needed to pay them attention especially now that I was short of MP.
And the other pressing matter was this.
[Your party member Rose is now level 239] Rose was just ten levels behind from reaching the part of a breakthrough.
Her progress shouldn’t have been so fast but it seems everything weighing on her heart disappeared after sleeping with me.
oh yeah, Rose has been sleeping with me these past few days.
I don’t mind but Rose wakes up with a fresh mood, a beautiful smile throughout the day, and an unmatched fervor when it comes to training.
Of course, all of this affects her training as well.
Her level increased by two just in the past three days.
That was a monstrous increase that I didn’t even expect from Alex, my brightest pupil till now.
Well, whatever, she won’t grow more when I will forbid her to.
I will just have to keep an eye on it.
unlike me, who needs to level up and all that, the people of this world could find enlightenment for no fu*king reason at all and although it makes me mad, there’s nothing I can do about it but envy.
“That’s it!
I yelled and Laura and Alicia stopped.
It was clear who was winning because even though Laura was strong in terms of physical stats now, she wasn’t as experienced as Alicia.
Not to mention the immense mana pool of Alicia.
Haa… I wonder what would become of her when I would feed her this.
[Spiritual essence of the world tree] [Grade: Unknown] [Description: A magical essence that was harvested from the world’s tree that is also said to be the biggest and oldest spirit that managed to remain outside of the spiritual world] [Additional information: Cannot be used by a human.
Upon consumption, there would be instant death.
Can only be consumed by an elf] [Effects upon consumption: All stats +1000 for thirty minutes] Haa… How good would it have been if I could consume it?
I would become stronger than the so-called gods of this world.
But, I didn’t procure it for me but for Alicia.
She needs it more than anything else.
And since this thing has nothing to do with mana, I have come across it many times before.
After all, the world tree doesn’t just exist here but in many realities.
Of course, it was still a b*tch of the spirit king but the fact that it was strong was not wrong.
[And since you come across it before, you know what to do with it] ‘Of course.
I will make Alicia the strongest being in the universe.
In this universe of course.’ What I would do is simply change the effect of this thing from temporary to permanent.
Of course, doing so would have consequences as well mainly in the form of efficiency being lowered.
Instead of 1000, it might not even increase 200 of all stats but even if it did only that much, Alicia, who wasn’t bound by the level system would have no trouble becoming a guardian-ranked being.
“You two are making good progress.
I won’t admit that your progress is great but I am still satisfied with it so there is no need to exert yourself anymore.” I said as both of them stopped and paid attention to me.
“So, now, we will begin a special training that will involve all three of you.” Adrian smiled and the girls became terrified, even Rose with her newfound fervor, because they knew what that ominous smile meant.
“Oh come on~ it isn’t so scary that you look so terrified.” Wei Jun said with an easy-going demeanor before he pulled a hammer from the inventory.
It didn’t look like an ordinary hammer in the least.
“The instructions are simple.
Dodge.
And if you can’t, clench.” I said while hitting my palm with the hammer lightly.
“Adrian, honey, you’re not serious, are you?” Laura asked, terrified or afraid of what was to come.
I simply smiled as I said, “Dodge.” And then, I jumped at them like a hungry man jumps at a hot woman.
===== “There, there, everything is alright,” I said while massaging Laura’s arms.
“Don’t talk to me.” Laura angrily said.
She had been the one to be hit most by me because her movements had been the most simplest among all three of them.
it was very easy to predict where she would end up and my hammer was waiting for her there.
The worst part of the training was that I gave them no potions to heal but let their bodies heal naturally.
Mana would heal them faster than a human body would so they weren’t in any danger.
The pain though, was a different story.
“Oh come on~ You know it is for your own benefit,” I replied, trying to coddle her as much as I could.
“Then why did you hit me the most?” She asked as she pushed her feet forward for a massage next.
Even though she was angry, she still used it to her benefit as much as she could.
I began to massage her feet and calves as I replied, “Because you were the most on my mind.” “Don’t lie to me.” She said in a low voice but the blush on her face betrayed the anger in her words.
“I simply smiled and continued massaging her until she wasn’t sore anymore.
I left her room and headed to mine.
All three girls were now resting and for the next two days, this would be our training.
===== “Did you meet him?” A voice from a round crystal ball asked.
“Yes, I did.” Sarah Georgette replied.
“And your analysis?” The voice asked.
“All the rumors are wrong.
He wasn’t lascivious at all.
He observed me properly before engaging in a conversation.
He made sure to keep his words in check and even though each of his words gave the impression that he was the same person from the rumors, he wasn’t at all.
he was pretending and he was good at it.” Sarah replied, giving her own analysis of Adrian from her conversations during the preliminaries.
“And do you think he is dangerous?” The voice asked.
“Yes.
Very.
So much so that he should be the one we should worry about most.
The plan is going according to your instructions.
The distortion would occur as you have planned.” Sarah replied.
“He needs to die anyway.
That damned human is bothering us about it vehemently.” The voice on the other end was annoyed when she mentioned this.
“You do not need to worry, my queen.
Even if his rank is high, he cannot fight a monster of A- rank unprepared.” Sarah replied, sending her queen’s annoyance before she asked, “And, my queen, how do you feel now if I dare to ask?” “I feel marvelous, my sweetness.
I have never felt so full of vigor in the last thousands of years.
Now you just have to come back and take my place so that I can die without any worry.” The queen on the other side said.
“Please don’t say that, my queen.
May the gods grant you a thousand years more.” Sarah hurriedly replied, she couldn’t bear the thought of her idol’s death.
“That’s sweet, my child but you should know, everyone has a time.
And let us not worry about this anymore.
Focus on your own job so you can hurriedly finish it and return.” The queen smiled and said.
“Yes, my queen.” Sarah didn’t dare to pursue a topic her queen had ended and simply replied, ending the connection of the crystal ball to the other side.
===== Alistair was having a bad day.
Being forbidden to see his fiancée wasn’t enough, he also had to run errands even though he was the next demon king.
Of course, he knew that in the grand scheme of things, his displeasure meant nothing but even he couldn’t forego the fact that he was annoyed.
As he entered the study his father usually resided, he exhaled and inhaled so to conceal his annoyance as he went in deeper to find his father busy with work.
“Kuhum.” He coughed to get his father’s attention.
“Oh, I see you have returned.” His father, the king of all demons, Astaroth raised his head and welcomed his son.
Of course, it was more like a business welcome than a familial welcome.
“Yes, I have,” Alistair replied.
“And I assume you bring news?” Astaroth said while he turned his attention back to the work.
“I do.
The plan of the dungeon distortion is in motion and it will soon be carried out.
We don’t know what the outcome will be but we are optimistic about the result.
As this is a test, and on a lot smaller scale, the consumption is small but it is still enough to create a dent in our finances.
I can only wonder what would happen on a larger scale.” Alastair reported while giving his own viewpoint.
“We are not the only ones contributing.
The other species have contributed as well so the finances won’t be that much of a problem.” Astaroth replied.
Alastair nodded but there was still something on his mind that he wanted to say.
“Father,” He began to get Astaroth’s attention and once he had it, he continued, “I think we would have to change the target of the distortion.” Astaroth was intrigued because he knew his son wouldn’t just give such a suggestion for no reason.
“Why do you say that?” Astaroth asked.
“Before returning here, I met the sir apostle.
He informed me that he has enough power to open the lock before he meets his demise.” Alastair reported.
Hearing this, Astaroth stopped, he stopped everything and asked with wide eyes, “By lock do you mean you have found the prison?” “Yes, father.
We have.” Alastair nodded in assent.
But seeing that his son wasn’t as joyous as him, Astaroth asked, “Then what seems to be the problem?” “About that, the prison has been found, and although it is found, it is in human territory,” Alastair replied.
Astaroth understood the underlying meaning, “By human territory you mean…” “Yes, Father,” Alastair completed his father’s sentence, “It is in the dungeon of diamonds.” ===== Dungeon of diamonds.
If I recall correctly, that incident is about to happen, right?
Soon after the first year.
The one in which Sirius died.
It was a great issue but with my help, I will make sure he doesn’t die.
After all, he was needed for my rule in Bellator City.
The only problem that stood in my way was this, “How the hell do I gain the entrance to the dungeon of diamonds?” [Why would you need to go?] ‘You do understand that it is the grove of level 450 and above monsters, right?’ [Even so, you won’t gain any experience from them] [Your body can’t handle it yet] ‘Oh, that problem has already been resolved.’ [How?] ‘Oh come on now, you seriously think I’m going to tell you that?’ [Yes] ‘Yeah, I’m itching to.’ The answer to that was simple.
If I couldn’t handle it, I would simply transfer it to someone else.
[In other words, a sacrifice] ‘When you put it like that, it sounds bad.’ [That would explain why you’re here] ‘Yep.’ Where was I, you ask?
Well, that would be the prison of Bellator City.
Where else would I find sacrifices who were already destined to die?
