Will of chaos

861 Cap 859: Two plans in action

Pov of a Cultist:

I traveled to retrieve the cursed weapon I need to break one of the seals, if I remember correctly it was sealed in a temple to the Goddess of Life.

I remember where I last saw it, but after thousands of years, I'm not sure if that city still exists or if anyone discovered the seal of the Justice God Hero Weapon.

When I get close to the place I remember I notice that the surrounding terrain is very similar, one of the mountains to the north seems to have been cut off, but other than that the landscape hasn't changed much.

I change back to my human form as I land on top of one of the city buildings below.

"As I suspected, it's not the same town." (I)

The buildings are different, the statue in the center of the city is no longer there, and the temples are no longer on the west side of the city but on the north side, it also seems that the population of the city is almost completely human.

"I can feel faint traces, it looks like the seal has weakened after so many years, but at least I know it's still here." (I)

I was getting ready to go to the place where I was feeling the faint traces of the weapon, I could only feel it because I've seen the sword in the past.

When I was close to doing something I notice something strange approaching across the sky in the distance, I move away from the city to identify first what is coming.

"What is it doing here?" (I)

What I see approaching the city was a large golden ring with 6 pairs of wings, I know this Dungeon very well and the woman it belongs to.

The Dungeon stopped above the city after a few tens of minutes Waves of Monsters started to come out of the Dungeon to attack the city.

"I didn't feel anyone very strong in the city, so I don't think it will be long before everything is destroyed." (I)

Just as I suspected, the Soldiers and Adventurers around the city weren't able to withstand such a sudden air strike, it's taking too long to kill the monsters, which means that as long as the Waves of Monsters continue, the monsters will be piling up.

In a few hours, I see the hard Battle turn into a defensive struggle while the city is in shambles.

"I must warn the Lord of Shadows." (I)

"< May my Shadow be a channel to hear your commands. >" (I)

I recited the incantation activating the curse on my shadow, in a few seconds my shadow rises from the ground forming a shadowy image of me with red eyes and a smile on my face.

"Why do you communicate with me." (Lord of Shadows)

"I'm in the middle of recovering an important weapon, I've reached the city where the weapon is located, but an Air Dungeon has moved here and is producing Waves of Monsters destroying the city." (I)

"So it's happening there too? Would it be a Dungeon with the entrance similar to a big golden ring with wings?" (Lord of Shadows)

"Yes, this Dungeon is called Heavenly Wind Dungeon, most of the monsters are Harpies because the Dungeon Master is also a Harpy." (I)

"You know her?" (Lord of Shadows)

"Someone nasty who will do anything for rare treasures, this ring is just one part of the real Dungeon gate, which is made with dozens of these big rings with wings." (I)

"Don't you know why she does that?" (Lord of Shadows)

"No my lord." (I)

"Okay, that doesn't interfere with our plans, in fact, it might even help us." (Lord of Shadows)

He's right, large-scale clashes like this are great for people who bought the weapons with Flux Coral to continuously fight, which in turn weakens Nature's energy by then attacking the seals.

"If you called me about this Dungeon, then I say don't interfere, take what you need and come back." (Lord of Shadows)

"Yes, my Sir." (I)

The shadow closes its eyes as it returns to normal and the Shadow Lord's presence disappears, I rise from my kneeling position, then enter the city while hiding my presence.

Once again I try to feel the faint traces of the cursed weapon, but with so many powers flying across the city from the Waves of Monsters, it made it harder for me to feel what I was looking for.

I walked halfway across the city before I could notice the faint trace of power again, then look at the direction it's coming from, it seems to be some nobleman's mansion, probably the ruler of this city.

I enter the gardens and wave my right claw at the ground opening a large ditch, soon soldiers of all kinds surround me, but I wave my other hand tearing these nuisances to pieces.

I looked at the large ditch that revealed an ancient buried building, I floated down and with a heavy foot stomp a hole where I passed.

Inside were a few things, but nothing important to me, I just look at the sword with the shiny purple blade and golden hilt.

"I remember when that blade was silver as the moon." (I)

I grab the hilt of the sword expecting a reaction from the Sword Spirit, but to my surprise nothing happens, there is no resistance, all it has is a powerful cursed energy trying to invade my body, but then it was stopped by the curse I already carry.

"It was easier than expected, it seems to be weaker, perhaps the curse has destroyed the spirit of the sword and with it some of its power." (I)

"But it might still do what I need it to." (I)

I spread my wings and fly through the hole in the ceiling of the room straight into the sky where I turn in the direction back to the seal.

Pov Andreia (Executioner of Light):

I was kneeling in front of the High Priest giving a progress report on our plans.

"The attacks seem to be going as planned, some Dungeons had to withdraw earlier in exactly the cities we expected to have problems, but nothing affects our plans." (I)

"How is the Hero doing?" (High Priest)

"We put him in one of the cities that would be attacked, it looks like he did well, his talent is amazing, but it doesn't seem to be like in the past." (I)

"You did your job well, now go back to keep that dirty Harpy under control, we can still use her in the future." (High Priest)

"Baldr's glory." (I)

I stand up with a final bow before leaving, it's time to give the promised reward to this Dungeon Master, as long as she can be easily manipulated with her greed we can still use her.
