Will of chaos

I was in the Adventurer’s Guild master’s office, he was in front of me with his face that has Lion features filled with frustration.

But at this point I couldn’t care less, any level of respect or trust I had in him is gone, I don’t care about his motives, he was using my teammates, my FAMILY as bait without them knowing.

Before I leave this place, I want to know why he was doing this.

I’m much weaker than him, I know I can’t hide anything from him since with that difference in power he can read my emotions in my Aura, that means she knows I’m repressing my anger and murderous intent.

He doesn’t know enough about me or the rest of my mates to understand the repercussions of what he’s done if certain fathers of my engagements knew what he’d done, but what little he does know is enough for him to know that he’s angered a Demigod, a future Santa, and a Champion.

He also knows that his strength would not be the best way to resolve the situation, just the quickest way to commit suicide when they came after him.

“You little bastard, can’t you understand that this is a Guild quest?” (Dargon)

“I don’t care about the Guild, I know it can read my Aura very well even with me doing my best to hide it.” (I)

I look into his eyes, in that moment if I had the strength I would have stormed into this Guild like a bulldozer destroying everything in my path and tossing this stupid feline for Lilith to play with until she broke just for daring to do this to my mates.

“Since I can’t hide what I’m feeling from you, then let me be clear, today I’m threatening you with borrowed strength, but if I were strong enough this town wouldn’t even exist anymore.” (I)

“Say what you want, even if you had the power, you wouldn’t do that, I know you believe what you say, but you’re kidding yourself, I watched you during the fights, you were also the one who offered your help as soon as you arrived in town.” (Dargon)

“You should know that when it involves my mates, I can lose control…” (I)

I’ve lost control when I thought Kira was in danger in the past, and when I thought Layla was dead I did something very reckless fighting that Siren like that, unfortunately, I’m very sensitive about what happens to my teammates.

“You know about me, I saw your surprised face when we met, plus I know that the Church of Light knows about my family and they sure let that information leak to other people.” (I)

“Then you also know that even if I couldn’t fulfill what I want today, in the future I would be capable of much worse.” (I)

“Your companions were never in danger, they are being watched by our best Adventurers and the Church of Light is being watched very closely.” (Dargon)

“Do you think I would risk the lives of people who have fought since the first day here!?” (Dargon)

“I don’t care what combo you think or your damn motives, you can say all the reasons in the world I won’t care.” (I)

“The only thing that matters to me is what you did, so tell me why.” (I)

I can see the frustration turning to anger on his face, I can feel his Aura bubbling with anger now, having someone like me act so arrogantly in front of him must be unnerving.

“Before I say anything, I want a promise that you won’t do anything against this city or me now or in the future.” (Dargon)

“All you’ll get is a verbal promise that as long as you don’t provoke me again, I won’t do anything to this town.” (I)

Sigh

“I hate it when a mission gets complicated…” (Dargon)

He puts his hands over his eyes as he sighs, I can see his Aura fading from my senses once more as his face becomes calmer.

“You saw the Aerial Dungeon gate, all Adventurers did.” (Dargon)

A sheet of paper with the design of the Dungeon gate for that day is pulled into the Guildmaster’s hand from the table.

“That same Dungeon with the same monsters attacked other cities across the continent, all these attacks had one thing in common.” (Dargon)

“The Dungeons left without being destroyed, moreover these attacks mostly took place in the same period of time, that means it couldn’t be the same Dungeon every time.” (Dargon)

“But the monsters, appearance and the way things happened clearly show for any idiot to see that they are related.” (Dargon)

“Not all cities were able to withstand this type of attack.” (Dargon)

“There were entire cities destroyed, many died, many Adventurers fought here and elsewhere, it means that the Adventurer’s Guild across the continent lost many people, many Adventurers.” (Dargon)

“The Guild would never sit idly by after taking such a heavy hit for no apparent reason, so we started investigating and discovered several unconsciousnesses.” (Dargon)

I had heard that other cities were attacked in the same way, but I didn’t imagine the scale, certainly this is strange, but I don’t understand him talking about this when he wanted to know about the investigation of the Church of Light.

“(I wonder…)” (I)

“To begin with, it was clear that the main unconsciousness was the Dungeon itself, but other than that there were problems with communications.” (Dargon)

“The energy in the surroundings has been thrown into chaos making long range communications very difficult and in most cases impossible.” (Dargon)

“I was lucky there was a town close by, which made communication easy enough to call for backup.” (Dargon)

“We were also lucky to be close to many Fairies who protected the city’s refugees.” (Dargon)

“Later a city discovered a ritual magic circle that caused the Persian of communications, after that others found something similar, including here.” (Dargon)

“Then we noticed something strange, in all the attacked cities, they were strategic cities like Fortress Cities or places with a large amount of strong people, like the cities near many Dungeons where Adventurers gather, as is the case here.” (Dargon)

“In one of the cities something suspicious was also noticed, they found one of the rituals still going on, they were the first to notice because they had someone with a unique skill that allowed them to perceive what was happening and follow it to the source.” (Dargon)

“There was one among them who was a Priest of the Church of Light, an ordinary Priest, but that was enough for us to look again at everything we knew.” (Dargon)

“It was then that we noticed that every city attacked many Demons or Demis along with other races, this is the kind of thing that goes against the most extreme tenets of the Church of Light.” (Dargon)

“It also allowed us to pull old history.” (Dargon)

“A few thousand years ago within a Separate Space a certain Dungeon was found by an Adventurer, he entered with his group, but when they realized that they were incompatible with the Dungeon’s type, they came with the Adventurer’s Guild closer to report about the dungeon.” (Dargon)

“So you know about this Dungeon?” (I)

“At that time people from the Church of Light together with their Hero went to the Dungeon, it took weeks for the Hero to reappear and the Dungeon disappeared, we thought it was destroyed.” (Dargon)

“Are you saying this is the same Dungeon?” (I)

“All we know about this Dungeon from the past is a drawing and some notes left by the Adventurers.” (Dargon)

“They said that Dungeoneering was Air-type, they also said that the main types of monsters were Harpies.” (Dargon)

He takes out a new piece of paper with a design on it, the design was of a large flying ring made up of several golden rings with wings.

By describing the notes left and looking at this drawing, it was easy to tell where all this came from.

“We knew almost nothing about this Dungeon at the time, so when it disappeared and the Hero at the time announced that he had destroyed the Dungeon, we had to believe it.” (Dargon)

“Then why aren’t they acting?” (I)

“We can’t act without evidence, all we have are assumptions if there’s no real evidence.” (Dargon)

“If we act without proof, then we face the weight of the various nations would fall on us.” (Dargon)

“So you wanted to use me and my companions as bait to force a movement from the Church of Light!?” (I)

“The idea didn’t come from me.” (Dargon)

“But it proved to be very effective, people from the Igreja da Luz tried a lot to follow their companions, with that we noticed the number of people beside them.” (Dargon)

“That was all I wanted to know, now I’m off.” (I)

“…” (Dargon)

I get up and leave, I was still furious but I wasn’t stupid to try something against someone I’m not able to fight yet, at least I got some stuff out of him, that’s enough for a while.

I leave the Adventurer’s Guild without being stopped again by either the Guildmaster or the staff. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Upon arriving at the mansion, everyone was already gathered in the small improvised mansion to discuss where we would go after leaving here.
