Chapter 102: Chapter 102
[Aegis, your time is almost up. How much longer can you hold up this Seal. With your remaining time, shouldn’t you be spending it with your loved ones instead. Go and spend time with your wife and kids, brothers and sisters. You must have someone right?] sounded an eerie voice inside a crimson cage with black metallic poles.
The poles were super massive, long than sky scrapers and thicker than mountains. On these poles were singular letters carved on them and exuded ancientness from the distant past.
Sitting in front of these poles was an old man with white hair and beard and on his forehead was a mark similar to the words written on the pillars.
"Hahaha, Silas, have you and your friends forgotten what you did to my family before you were put in here. You guys slaughtered my family and used their souls as commodity to trade with the devils. You used my family to buy Taboo Knowledge then transformed yourselves into powerful Dark Mages.
I travelled far and wide for a way to deal with all of you and found the Inheritance of the Sealing Clan. This place is the Inheritance Site. I lured you all here then sealed you. My point is that I have no one to go to, as long as you lot remain alive, I won’t kick the bucket." said the old man in a rigid tone.
[Hahaha, now I remember. To this day, I still don’t know why your family was valued so high by the Devils. But Aegis, you don’t have long to live, soon, probably in a few thousand years, you’ll die from old age and we’ll finally be able to escape, hahaha!]
"Oh Silas, how does it feel to be the one still Awake, all your friends have entered Eternal Slumber and you’re now all alone. And you’re right, my lifespan is about to end but before I won’t perish before you enter Eternal Slumber!" Aegis then took out fifty green coloured bugs that were a finger long.
[What are those? Are you going to now going to eat bugs, hahaha! Aegis, you’re the worst Seal Clan Inheritor, hahaha!] laughed Silas.
Aegis ignored him as the bugs started to bite him then shrivelled up and died. The wrinkles around Aegis’s face faded away and his hair turned grey and was no longer pure white.
[Lifespan...?! Those bugs are giving you lifespan?! That’s not fair! Aegis, this is not fair! This is not fair! What has become of the RULES, all Life Prolonging treasures are supposed to be effective only once! Who’s breaking the RULES?! WHO’S BREAKING THE RULES?!
[Aegis, fuck you! Fuck you you cheating son of a whore! Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, FUCK YOU!]
"I feel...younger, HAHAHA! AHAHAHA!"
’Aegis, I won’t let you Seal me here forever. It seems it’s time to harvest the seeds I planted many years ago. I hope you don’t disappoint me!’
Somewhere in a dark place, a place where the Sun doesn’t shine and the moonlight doesn’t reach, ten figures were seated cross legged around what seemed to be an altar. On this altar, there was a corpse of a creature around 1.5 meters long and its wings were laced with ash like powder. This creature closely resembled a moth, even down to the tongue, everything was the same.
The ten figures were women wearing black dresses now tatters, their faces were dirty but their scent was that of flowers and pleasant to take a whiff of. Their bodies were covered in tattoos and only their faces remained unblemished. They wore black lip gloss and eyebrow pencil, and all ten women were stunning beauty that one could rarely see.
Their eyes were blank though as they chanted the same words over and over again.
[Awaken Lord Orphis. Awaken Lord Orphis. Awaken Lord Orphis. Awaken Lord Orphis.]
[It’s time,all of you, offer Everything to Lord Orphis and free yourselves from this misery!] sounded a voice from the darkness and the women took out daggers made from clay and slit their throats with them. Their bodies didn’t fall back but forward, lying on the altar.
[I offer Everything to Lord Orphis.]
[I offer Everything to Lord Orphis.]
[I offer Everything to Lord Orphis.]
[I offer Everything to Lord Orphis...]
All of them said the said words before their lives ended. Carved around the altar were Runes which all lit up and started to absorb the blood of the women.
[Now, for the final ingredient...] sounded the voice as twenty green bugs landed on top of the moth carcass and started to inject lifespan into it. Above the moth, something much darker appeared, it didn’t have a form and was like a ball of smoke that disappeared into the moth’s corpse. By this time, all the Runes had lit up and the bugs turned to dust.
The light from the Runes was then absorbed into the moth’s corpse, then dimmed and disappeared. The moth corpse twitched but didn’t awaken, whilst dead, it transformed into the figure of a beautiful teenage girl who was seventeen or eighteen years of age. Only then did the moth girl slowly open her eyes which were golden and dreamy.
The darkness around her coalesced to form a black gown that adorned her perfect body without the slightest flaw. A figure then appeared and knelt in front of the woman with a fanatic expression.
[Amelia greets Miss Orphis, welcome to the Nirlrem World.] said the kneeling woman who was a mature beauty.
"Amelia...you follow your name quite well. It’s been tens of millions of years since we last spoke but didn’t disappoint me and for that, you’re my Follower for the remainder of the time I’ll spend here. And if you continue to impress and serve me well, you shall continue to be my Follower even when I return to the Dream Domain."
[It’s my greatest honour to serve you Miss Orphis.] said Amelia, her gaze though low, was still filled with fanatism. Check latest chapters at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱
"What of the 72 Nightmares Generals I sent to the Living Domain?"
[They discarded their identities as Nightmare Generals and also their mission. They are now of the Demon Race and reside in the Death Domain, in Hell to be exact.]
"I see. I shall deal with them in due time. For now, I want to enjoy my time in this world. Twenty thousand years is a short amount of time but I’ll try to make the most of it. Amelia, I want more of these RULE BREAKERS."
[I’ll keep an eye out for them, My Lady.]
"This body is too weak, tell me, how do I strengthen it while also having fun in the process?"
[There are academies that are going to recruit students and apprentices at the end of this month.]
"Which one is closest and which one is furthest from us."
[The closest is the Retalior Royal Academy and the furthest is the Royal Url Academy. It will take approximately three thousand years to reach it when travelling at a slow pace and 30 years when travelling at a fast pace. If I use my power, we can reach it in ten days.]
"No need. Let’s just enroll in the Retalior Royal Academy."
[As you wish, My Lady.]
