Will of chaos

Pov Arash (True Dragon Black Emperor):

The Dungeon Break happened hours before it should have happened, from the separate space where I was looking I could understand everything without anyone noticing me.

“The amount of miasma is abnormal, and the people of this city were clearly not prepared.” (I)

When a Dungeon is about to break apart, it shows signs like irregular Monster Waves and increased miasma leakage.

If such things had happened people would have prepared for it, which they didn’t as far as I can tell.

I look at the crystallized monsters that little freak is using to collect this miasma.

“She’ll get indigestion from so much food.” (I)

The crystallized monsters are still soaking up the miasma, it seems the Adventurers have stayed away, that’s a good thing for them, these statues are crystallized nightmares, attacking this would cause an explosion while the culprit would be hunted down by one of that little freak’s nightmares.

I look at my daughter, she keeps looking around calmly, but her restlessness is impossible to hide from my eyes, I know she recognized me when I attacked that monster.

“I could…” (I)

“(Don’t even try to go down there…)” (Caitlyn)

“Damn it! Why don’t you go take care of your food or go to sleep, leave me alone.” (I)

Pov Shadow Lord:

“Hahahahahahaha… hahahahaha…” (I)

As I watched the Adventurers leave the city with most of the population I started to laugh.

Those fools think they’ve won, nobody realized the real reason.

I look at the images of the various Shadow Familiars who watched the events of the Cursed Dungeon Break from afar.

“They just delayed my plans, but it was still a success… hahahahahahaha…” (I)

I close my eyes to use the curse on my slave who is standing by the seal.

“(How much of the 8? seal was opened?)” (I)

“(The seal has only weakened, it hasn’t broken or opened yet, master.)” (Shadow Slave)

“(Use the arrangements I left to perform the Soul Desecration Ritual, then attack the seal, it should be enough to break it now.)” (I)

“(How many sacrifices should I use?)” (Shadow Slave)

I think for a few seconds as I do a quick calculation.

“(270 should be enough, but for sure use twice as much, it will cost more resources, but we shouldn’t skimp when we are so close.)” (I)

“(Yes my master.)” (Shadow Slave)

When I close my connection through the curse I placed on him, I turn my gaze to the destroyed city.

Sigh

“Unfortunately a Titan of Nature won’t appear, I was prepared to lure him to a place where many weapons made with Flux Coral are, it would help to loosen or even break another seal.” (I)

Pov Zenos:

I spread my wings to get a view with my own eyes of what’s going on in the city, flying higher so the trees don’t obstruct my view.

From above I see the black mist encompassing the entire city and surroundings until it is stopped by a green barrier, I use my Aura on my eyes and verify that this barrier is being fed with the energy of the surrounding Nature.

I also noticed something unusual, the fog is not touching the barrier, it is staying inches away from the barrier.

“Is this an effect of the barrier or Nature’s energy?” (I)

Just by seeing the large amount of miasma, he knew that a normal person who stayed inside would die almost instantly.

“What do we do now?” (Nix)

“We’re going to the next city, let’s go back with Adelina to her city before going to the next city.” (I) 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝑒𝘵

“…” (Nix)

“Don’t look at me, I’m not the only one who wants to go there.” (I)

Sigh

“You just want to have fun…” (Nix)

This city full of Dungeons was set to be our first stop to serve as training for us as some were getting used to their new bodies like me.

But the next city is known as a commercial city that only has 2 Dungeons, this city was built and planned to attract people, it has restaurants of all kinds, it has various types of establishments like Brothels with wonderful men and women, it has casinos, it has beaches, it has hotels with various amenities that you can’t find elsewhere, it has 1 combat arena where duels take place and it has a theater, the only one I’ve heard of in this world so far at least.

In other words, it’s a resort town where even the two dungeons are a tourist attraction, one of the dungeons is a place for plant type monsters, that means every floor of the dungeon is lush with each floor being a new forest.

The second Dungeons is a place of gems, that means that on every floor there are different gems, this city also has many accessories and jewelry stores.

“Let’s talk to Adelina.” (I)

“Take care of her, master.” (Nix)

Pov Adelina:

5 hours after Dungeon Break.

I was looking at the city that was now visible after more than half of the miasma disappeared, from the information about crystal monster statues around the city that the Adventurers talked about earlier, also about the ability of these statues to absorb miasma, I can imagine the calamity that is located in this city.

“I hope you’re having fun.” (I)

“How did you notice me?” (Caitlyn)

“I didn’t notice but I felt something was watching me, call it instincts if you must Miss Caitlyn.” (I)

There is no way not to recognize this face, at least this time there are no screams of agony in the surroundings like that day.

“Where is he?” (Caitlyn)

“Your brother is no longer in town.” (I)

“Bye then.” (Caitlyn)

“…” (I)

She didn’t even bother to talk to me, she just disappeared in front of me.

Sigh

“Coming and going as you please…” (I)

“At least thanks for the help, all that miasma was a big problem.” (I)

The Living Nightmare, few are those who recognize her when they look at her, it would be hard for anyone to associate a little girl with a destroyer of nations.

There’s no way to fight someone who knows your worst fears, who knows your biggest secrets, and who doesn’t know forgiveness.

In the past I lived in a city whose main trade was slaves, I was one of many slaves who passed through there, a fool saw a girl sleeping under a tree in the forest and took her.

I was at the Slave Auction when I heard someone growling in her ear to force her to wake up, seeing such an innocent and delicate looking girl have her face get serious as she looked around was strange.

But the strangest thing was when she started to laugh or should I say laugh, her childish laugh was slowly not only heard by my ears and was being heard in my mind as her childish voice turned into something macabre.

That day I was on a stage being sold as a combat slave, I saw myself alone in a dark place with a mirror in front of me that showed my reflection, I saw my whole life in that reflection, and when I realized I was back on stage waking up in the floor.

In the surroundings, many were screaming in agony, pain, and endless fear, when I went to the streets it was the same, the whole city was the same with the screams of horror on all sides.

I remember the black mist building up over time and a person who was screaming getting up with his eyes completely red as if possessed, then he kneels down as the body crystallizes, I clearly remember noticing the black mist being sucked into the crystal statue.

“Anyone who angers one of the Living Calamities will know hell in life.” (I)
