Will of chaos

Getting to our target was not difficult, to get to where he was without alerting all the guards and soldiers in the castle the easiest way was through the shadows, getting so many people into the shadows would be a little difficult, but it could still be managed.

The only way to find me would be someone stronger than me or with very high level detection skills.

The most problem would actually be getting through the barrier, but then I remember what Byakko once said when we were still in Valen, Spirits, and Fairies can absorb mana directly from the magic circle, but it’s a slow process that could be noticed.

Luckily we don’t need to break the barrier, we just need a small gap for the shadow we’re in to be able to enter.

When we started to come out of the shadows I had already noticed that there were only two people in the room, a man lying in bed suffering and another man wearing comet armor where I feel a lot of Mana flowing.

As I watched this armored man’s reactions I let the others leave one by one while Layla and Orion left along with me, but Nix remained in the shadows waiting in case a surprise attack was needed.

I could see Lilith looking at the man on the bed so I was sure he was our target, but even without Lilith looking at him I already knew who it was, that’s why I can feel the Seal of Doom on him.

The man in armor who was silent until now tries to attack us but it seems the man in the bed knows it would be useless, the man in armor himself knows he would only be seeking death but even so the determination in his eyes was incredible.

I was getting ready to stop the armored man when I noticed Ragnar making a move against him, so I left the armored man to him and walked over to the man in the bed who had opened his eye.

He looked like a young man between 20 and 30 years old, half of his face was burnt and he was missing an eye, from his appearance I can tell he was a Demon before he became a Vampire.

I look at this man’s pale face and his body shaking with pain, I realize that just talking is being difficult for him, his appearance matches the information that Lilian told us.

“No… I didn’t expect… to end… like this…” (Alexandre)

“You know why we came.” (I)

“…” (Lilith)

Cough Cough Cough

Lilith approaches and sticks the tip of her tail which was a blade of bone in the chest of Alexander who was on the bed, but that didn’t kill him, he just coughed up blood before his body stopped shaking.

“Thank you for stopping the pain…” (Alexander)

“It would be difficult to talk otherwise, and besides, the end of your sentence is near.” (Lilith)

Sigh

“The moment I received the information that someone with the robe bearing the Blood Goddess symbol already knew that this could happen.” (Alexander)

“I can’t be blamed for trying to stay alive, my mistake was underestimating your strength…” (Alexander)

“Sometimes the path we choose to avoid something can lead us straight to it, we didn’t know about you before the attack, but now that we know…” (I)

Sigh

“So you didn’t come here for me?” (Alexander)

“I didn’t come to this continent for you.” (I)

“But you would have no escape anyway, sooner or later someone would come to you.” (Vanessa)

Alexander looked exhausted, his eyes were cloudy and unwilling, and even he must have realized that it was useless to run away.

When Vanessa spoke he looked away from her.

“If it weren’t for that curse you wouldn’t have been able to fight me.” (Alexander)

“It would only make you die an even more brutal and public death, which would be something to consider…” (Layla)

“Layla!” (I)

“I’m just commenting…” (Layla)

“Don’t be arrogant, in the face of the Goddess’s judgment no criminal is able to escape.” (Vanessa)

“You sealed your fate at the time of your crimes.” (Vanessa)

“Crimes? What crimes have I committed?” (Alexander)

“All I ever did was think about the best for this Kingdom, do you think I’m wrong to do everything in my power to protect thousands of lives?” (Alexander)

“Spare your explanations, nothing you say will change the end of this.” (I)

Sigh

“…” (Alexander)

The former King Alexander looks at me and the anger that was starting to show on his face disappears, he looks at Vanessa who has a damning look, and then turns to the man in armor who is not able to move his eyes while Ragnar he still has his hand on one of his shoulders.

After that, he looks out the window as if there is garlic he expected to see.

“I wanted to see the Sunrise one last time, feel the warmth of the light on my body, these light protection items haven’t allowed me that in years…” (Alexander)

“Tomorrow is a hope, never a promise.” (I)

“That’s a phrase I heard a long time ago, but its truth as sad as it is made me never forget it.” (I)

“You won’t be past today, but I allow your last words to someone who will truly remember them.” (I)

“…” (Alexander)

“Sisor…” (Alexander)

My words when quoting a phrase I heard in a game in my old world seem to have had an impact on him, his eyes completely lost their luster, but even so, he looked at the man in armor.

“Don’t be sad Sisor, we knew this could happen one day, you warned me in the past, but I got carried away by despair and didn’t listen to the person who was by my side at all times.” (Alexander)

“I’m glad you’re here to take care of this Kingdom and our family, I haven’t been able to draw a line between right and wrong for a long time.” (Alexander)

“You saw me before I became King, you saw me sit on the throne for the first time, you ruled by my side through the wars and stood by my side longer than anyone else, I’m glad it’s you here in the end.” (Alexander)

“Here, give this to my other son…” (Alexander)

He takes a letter from his storage item and throws it toward the man in armor, Ragnar takes the letter and puts it in the hand of the man in the armor he found to close his hand to keep the letter from falling. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚

“I’m ready…” (Alexander)

“When he dies, what will happen to the Vampire Slaves?” (I)

“You will accompany him in death, I hope you find peace in the arms of the Goddess.” (Vanessa)

“But you who committed such an atrocity will receive your punishment directly from the Goddess.” (Vanessa)
