Will of chaos

1091 Cap 1089: A special kind of gardener



After whatever the Goddess Kalistos did to stabilize the environment that was already in a critical situation, the presence disappeared and I saw the floating person fall from where he was in the hole in the middle of the World Tree before being grabbed by someone and disappearing. 

The next thing I saw was Stella appearing near where Natasha was while lying on the floor between them was Ivan with half the bones in his body covered in cracks which only got worse as his body shape was changing, bones were changing places and shapes, the Spectral Body was withering down to an indistinguishable layer of energy around his bones. 

The two just dictated stops looking at him as I approached Natasha raised her hand to prevent me from approaching any further, I looked at her wanting an answer but she didn't even look in my direction as she just looked at Ivan as her body changed. 

Only when the changes stopped with all the bones in place and the shape of the bones similar to what I remember did Natasha bite her own wrist before letting her blood that glowed bright red full of vitality fall onto Ivan's bones. 

I didn't understand what she was doing, vitality has no effect on the Undead, at most, it serves as food, but it doesn't heal their already dead bodies, that's why healing potions don't work on them. 

I had my doubts about what she was doing, but I also knew that she was both the expert at breaking someone's body and an expert at healing someone's body. 

Just as I thought I saw the blood behave in a strange way, it didn't flow through the bones until it fell to the ground, as soon as it touched Ivan's bones it started to flow over the bones to the damaged parts of his bones, that's when I saw the blood seeped into the cracks that glowed red and dark blue as the cracks got smaller and smaller. 

It took me a while to understand what was happening, I couldn't feel the Aura very well due to my exhaustion and my Authority was still not able to be used, it was like a muscle taken to the extreme that is now in the process of recovery. 

But even without using my Authority I could assume that healing Ivan's dead body was possible due to Natasha's Authority, it was the only thing I could think of, so I decided to believe it for now. 

I knew that Ivan was in a bad state, but he shouldn't be in danger, so I decided to look for the others one more time, that's when I noticed that two of my sisters weren't here. 

Besides them, my daughter Nicole, my son Irius and Alice aren't around, I can't see them around and I don't remember seeing them during the fight, but I remember Sakura showing them to me when we saw the fight across the forest with it helps to share the senses like plants. 

I tried asking the others but no one saw anything, I wanted to talk to Natasha who would at least know something about our other sisters, but she was still busy taking care of Ivan, I had to wait for her to finish what she was doing before doing this question. 

Not having much else to do, I just used my lines with some difficulty to create a hammock to lay down on some nearby trees, it was much more difficult than it should have been so my condition could be worse than I knew. 

While I was lying in the hammock, my family members were all very close to me, Hinata was lying on top of me in small form, Sakura left it next to me, Orion in puppy form also lay on the other side while Ragnar, who was without his Horn and without one ear was sitting on the branch of one of the trees where I tied the hammock. 

We were all in bad shape, the battle lasted a long time and I learned some time ago that some injuries are not seen by simply looking at the body from the outside, this becomes increasingly the case as one's strength increases, or more physical injuries become increasingly lighter. 

While trying to recover, I looked up and saw many figures doing something in the sky, I didn't know what it was, but I felt many extremely strong Auras passing through my body several times from different people, it was always coming from the direction of the sky. 

It looked like the people flying back and forth endlessly in the sky were doing something, I suspect it must be Fairy Kings and Spirit Kings trying to fix this environmental disaster, even though the presence of that Evil God is no longer here, the damage he caused the ambience was still present, this was an unpleasant place to be, but I couldn't leave. 

When I was in full health it was already bad, the presence of that Evil God was like pollution, even though now I don't have that pollution anymore, I feel like I'm walking amidst a destroyed city, the feeling of devastation around me, all my senses feel the stagnant and heavy air, the feeling of heat and cold at the same time, dampness and oppression all these contradictions at the same time. 

I see the Fairies and Spirits doing something, possibly trying to get the environment back to full normalcy once more. 

"You're doing the right thing, rest while you can." (Elizabeth) 

"Elizabeth, where have you been? Where is Caitlyn?" (I) 

"Were we hunting opportunists or did you think this Evil God and his abominations were the only enemies?" (Elizabeth) 

"..." (I) 

"Were there more enemies?" (Ragnar) 

"Was it the Church of Light again?" (Orion) 

"No, she spoke of opportunists, that means they had something to gain from this mess..." (I) 

"Okay, so can you think of at least 2 examples?" (Elizabeth) 

"..." (I) 

Her smile doesn't seem like a question she can choose not to answer, she's doing another of her "answer correct or suffer another section of Infernal training?" tests, I don't know which is scarier, a life or death struggle, or a long torture with the excuse of training where I'm taken to death's door more times than I'd like. 

"(Come on, think Zenos, think... there were thousands of people participating in the battle, but they are all trusted by the Elves, not to mention that everyone knew of Lorraine's presence as well as many Spirit Kings and Fairy Queens, anyone who thinks to take advantage of this situation where even a powerful Evil God was involved would be crazy or powerful enough to try...)" (I) 

"Powerful enough to try..." (I) 

At this moment I am surprised by the thought that crossed my mind and I stand up with a serious expression on my face while ignoring the muscle pain I feel in my entire body, I look directly into Elizabeth's eyes who was smiling but still had a serious twinkle in the eye. 

"Other Evil Gods or their direct servants, how many were there?" (I) 

"Okay, it looks like there's still a brain inside that head that keeps having such irresponsible thoughts." (Elizabeth) 

"You just need to know that there were more than even I expected and it wasn't just those two types of enemies." (Elizabeth) 

"There are always going to be people who are greedy, dumb, or crazy enough to see this kind of situation and see an opportunity, do you know why I'm saying this to you?" (Elizabeth) 

"So I don't think the enemy I'm seeing will be the only enemy next time." (I) 

"That's not what I wanted to hear, but it's also good thinking." (Elizabeth) 

"The correct answer would be, you be the enemy in the dark, let others act in front and draw attention, anyone who draws too much attention is at risk." (Elizabeth) 

"I think this is something difficult for me..." (I) 

I've never tried to get attention, in fact, it's always been the opposite, but for some reason, I always end up in the back of attention and half the time with someone behind me. 

"(Let's just see the next catastrophe that will befall me...)" (I) 

"Zenos, we should..." (Alice) 

"Better not talk about it now, isn't the work over yet?" (Elizabeth) 

"Talk about what? What do you mean it's not over yet?" (I) 

Alice who appeared from somewhere seemed to want to say something to me, but she exchanged glances with Elizabeth, but even so, she turned to start talking. 

"I apologize ma'am Elizabeth, but my only loyalty is with the Zenos, not with you and him..." (Alice) 

"..." (I) 

"You have a good Santa, little brother." (Elizabeth) 

"I hope your reason for doing this is a good one because I just got pissed off." (I) 

"Some things you can sort out later, you still have gardening work to do." (Elizabeth) 

"You know that I can block your entrance to the Dungeon, right?" (I) 

"Don't try to threaten me, if I want to enter the Dungeon there is very little you can do to me and you don't want me to get angry..." (Elizabeth) 

Sigh 

I was already irritated by the long battle where my companions were wounded, Ivan had half of his body half destroyed, I still haven't found all my companions who entered the forest with me, my whole body is aching and my mind is a little heavy, all this already was making me irritable enough not to mention the environment which is more than just unpleasant to be in for someone with my senses for nature's energies, now I have to watch Elizabeth knock Alice unconscious for wanting to inform me of something she thought was important. 

I was very angry and since I can't control my Aura well now, I'm sure everyone around me can feel my fury. 

"Calm down." (Elizabeth) 

She tells me to calm down as she crushes my still weak Aura with hers, of course, that doesn't make me calmer, but it doesn't change the fact that there's little I can do while still in a weakened state. 

"You look like Caitlyn from a few millennia ago, I just knocked her unconscious, you can talk to your Santa later about whatever you like, but do you still have work to do, or have you forgotten why you had to come?" (Elizabeth) 

"..." (I) 

I look away from Elizabeth to shift my line of sight to the World Tree but look back at Elizabeth. 

"I haven't forgotten, but I'm not in a position to do anything yet." (I) 

I could say that I won't do anything else, but the one who would be most affected would not be Elizabeth, but the entire continent, I'm not a child to throw a tantrum because of my irritation, even more with something so serious. 

"But I won't forget what you did and most of all why you didn't even try to apologize." (I) 

I get up still in pain and take the unconscious Alice out of Elizabeth's arms while looking straight into her eyes, I can see the amusement in her eyes, I've probably just passed another one of her tests, but this time I won't be silent about this. 

"I appreciate you remaining mature about this situation and I'm here to help with your recovery." (Lorraine) 

Lorraine appears out of nowhere or maybe she had been here for a while without revealing her presence, I would have no way of knowing with my current strength, she puts her hand on my chest and I feel some energy flows from nature in the surroundings passing through my body, it was very pleasant to feel this harmonious energy passing through my body. 

"You should recover in less than half the time with this, it will also heal some of the damage you've taken, as you said yourself, you'll need to be at your best to help the World Tree and I appreciate the help." (Lorraine) 

"I was just testing your courage and determination in the face of situations like this, I'm sorry if I bothered you, Lorraine." (Elizabeth) 

"(A gardening job, is Elizabeth trying to tease me by calling me a gardener?)" (I) 

I look back at the World Tree, if I were a gardener then I would be the most special gardener in the world.
