Chapter 247: The Demon Schemes



Chapter 247: The Demon Schemes

—–

A beautiful and voluptuous, red-skinned demoness walked through the passage of an underground dungeon, dark and cold, the beautiful woman brought some heat to such a gloomy place with her beautiful appearance and her actually quite high body heat, which came due to her demon subspecies, a Fire Demon who could naturally wield fire and was extremely gifted on its uses.

She walked through the long corridors, smiling maliciously, recalling the events that had transpired in the last weeks and how close she was to reach her most anticipated goal.

Since she was a little girl in the Demon Kingdom of Aher that she had dreamed of great things for a very long, however, born in poverty and as an orphan gave her a harsh life from the very beginning.

Through a path of sweat and blood, she survived through her life however she could, a life filled with treachery, deception, assassinations, and schemes.

Throughout her life, she always dreamed of raising higher into society, to be able to one day step over anyone.

However, in a world such as Terra, she needed to be strong.

It was in one night where she stole the artifacts of an old mage that she discovered a strange entity dwelling within a crystal ball, an entity with an ancient power that she had never seen before.

This entity guided her through her life and gave her the opportunities to rise higher into this hierarchy, to reach new heights, and to find what she desired, while also fulfilling her promise to revive it.

After many years, they had accomplished many things together, and now, they were close to the climax.

The demoness entered a large chamber, where an enormous, scaled creature greeted her sight, his bloodshot red eyes glanced at her with utmost hate, as his razor-sharp fangs were being held tightly by powerful seals to not open.

The beast groaned the moment it set his eyes on her.

“Youuuu…!”

The creature was large, around ten meters long, it had the appearance of a python, with black-colored metallic scales that resembled whole shields due to their sheer size. The creature had four small legs and large, goat-like horns growing out of each side of its head, alongside a large crimson jewel in the middle of its crimson eyes.

The beast seemed completely restrained in the chamber, as seals made of ancient magic with enormous power were keeping it in place while slowly weakening it by draining his power.

The beast was in fact a dragon, an ancient Elder Dragon of the same that Aaronarra was looking for, the last survivors of the Ancient Dragon Race that once existed before the mortals were created by the Gods.

Dragons were naturally gifted with intelligence and great powers and were the first creation of the gods, which were made in lesser amounts but could grow incredibly strong as they grew older.

Dragons were able to reproduce, but their mating cycles would come every few hundred years, making them a race that multiplied incredibly slowly.

Due to these factors, they were not able to fight against the giant armies of mortals that discovered them in the long past and were slowly hunted down as resources for the greedy cultivators of the ancient Terra.

Now, only but few remained within this world, one of them was Aaronarra, an Earth Dragon, and then… this one, a Dark Dragon.

The Dragon’s bloodshot eyes glanced at the beautiful and mischievous demoness with boiling rage, the rage that would make any person tremble in fear and probably piss themselves.

The pressure of this dragon seemed outstanding, emanating the power of a Rank 5 Peak Stage Magus, or perhaps even higher.

However, even with such strength, it was not able to fight back due to these seals put into the creature a few hundred years ago by a Rank 6 Magus of the past, a “Hero” who sealed this “evil” Dark Dragon and used him as an “endless” source of mana for the artifacts that his descendants constructed above this chamber, draining the dragon’s mana, and slowly weakening over the generations.

Now, the demoness had found him alongside her “lord”, and they saw him as perfect for whatever wicked plans they had in mind.

Based on the dragon’s rage, he already knew her for some time…

“Fufu, you are as energetic as ever, aren’t you, Ardarth?” asked the demoness while smiling maliciously, as she gently began to pet the dragon’s snout.

“One of these days I am going to tear you apart, you bastard! I am going to tear this whole town apart! I will destroy this world! I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU, YOU BASTARDS! YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME! I AM NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL EVERYTHING YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT IS BURN TO ASHES!” roared the Dragon, unleashing his fury in words unleashed through Telepathy, which the woman had ahead a thousand times already, simply ignoring him.

“Fufu, do you think you will ever go away, Ardarth? Soon enough, my lord shall wake up. The very one that put you here. Soon enough, your task will finally be fulfilled. You should be rejoicing yourself, foolish lizard,” laughed the woman.

“GRRR…! I WON’T LET YOUUUU…! I will… Find a way….” Roared the dragon.

“Sure thing…” laughed the demoness, walking around the dragon and opening a door, reaching a different area of the underground as she walked inside a small room.

There, she found a brilliant, green-colored jewel resting over a pedestal.

This was one of the artifacts Frank has been looking for this whole time.

“Ah, such splendor… The Jewel of Eternal Life…” said the demoness, moving towards it as a sudden voice stopped her.

“Don’t touch it with your filthy hands! It is a precious artifact crafted by the ancient Gods that created this world. It is the ingredient for my rebirth, do not be foolish, girl. If you taint it with your hands, something could go wrong!”

The purple-colored crystal ball she had been holding with her arms suddenly began to release a purple-colored smoke from within, as an ethereal presence within spoke to her… the eerie and powerful soul of an Ancient Magus.

“M-My apologies my lord…” she said timidly, being reprimanded by her lord was something she feared the most, although she was incredibly devoted to this entity.

“Hmph… Seeing how much it took to finally find it after so long… We must treasure and protect it at all cost… However, without the Tree of Rebirth…” muttered the entity within the crystal ball, as the demoness immediately answered him.

“My lord, the Tree of Rebirth has… bee spotted within the depths of the Dungeon of this town once but…” she muttered.

“So you still can’t find it! Even those organizations filled with trash can’t do a single thing!” sighed the entity.

“But my lord, the dungeon… has over 100 floors and the monsters grow stronger as they descend, it is not like other dungeons, as the chambers and floors interchange in between… It is puzzling to even reach floor 50…” said the demoness.

“Well, keep pushing! You are almost there anyways, with the Teleportation devices I left you, it should be possible to slowly reach the damn last floor! Stop slacking off!” said the entity.

“Y-Yes…! A-And…”

“What?”

“About those Magus that came a few days ago…”

“Oh, those… Keep an eye on them. I have sensed that the Rank 5 one has strange powers I have not seen for a long time since the Ancient Era. Reinforce the runes around here. He seems to have the power to talk with Dead Spirits, we can’t let them get closer anymore.”

“Yes, my lord…”
