Chapter 571: Pain In The Fog
“…Tell me, betrothed, is she your pleasure toy?” Mistress Nightfall gave a particular smirk. Eunid was speechless, however, before he could answer, she continued.

“If she is, when you done with her, you can feed her to the core beasts. I don’t mind you touching other women, but I can’t allow them breathe the same air.” she stepped closer towards Nora, who Old fang had no choice but to allow stand on her own, else it would be considered disrespectful to the Nightfall mistress.

Even with the gapping hole in her chest, rules were rules, and the Night mistress was not one even the patriarch of the Family would want to offend.

She took another step, the sky, seemingly getting darker.

Eunid was obviously worried about this. However, the nightfall mistress gave a smirk, “I’ll allow you go this time around. Just because you were willing to give your rat life for my talking pumpkin. But don’t you dare sneak into his bead at night, and if you do, cut your neck in the morning.”

After saying this, she gave a dramatic ‘hmph’ before turning and walking away, unto her magic carpet that flew towards Pangubox side.

As the magicians took their leave, Pangubox turned to the Night mistress. “You knew about the cursed rune, didn’t you? You sensed it and that was why you rushed here immediately.”

She nodded, “I only smelt a trace of its awful smell. Nothing too much. Besides, even if we were not there, that old Inlaw of mine could have taken care of it.”

“yes, but at a very great cost.” Pangubox added as they flew away.

Through the pain on her chest, Nora watched the Magicians fly away, “what did I do!?” she asked through gritted teeth.

Old fang sighed as he carried her once more, “Don’t worry about her, she is betrothed to Eunid by a magic bond, and thus is very wary whenever any woman is around him.” On saying this, he turned to her, “it would seem like your training developed a lot of fruits. Your body had developed a kind of immunity towards the scorpion sting. And your body can now heal itself. At this rate, even your dantain will one day be able to hell itself from the scar it was given.”

They walked away.

Eunid on the other hand, looked at his father one more time, and then mulligan nodded at him, and he back before catching up with Old fang walking beside him.

Mulligan watched as they walked away. “Was that the slave he bought for five thousand gold?” he asked, and an elder walked over and bowed in respect, “I believe it is, my lord.”

Mulligan nodded, “such foresight. Now, the decisions he makes even look foolish to us. He even managed to bag such a treasure.”

The Elder bowed again. “My lord should I send something her way?”

“No! No rewards for her. She is Eunid’s property. he should do with her as he sees fit.” On saying this, he turned and walked away.

Meanwhile, some one else was lamenting his failure in anger. It was none other than Alfred.

From the moment he entered his chambers, he smashed items, cups, tables, all of them in anger.

The dwarf was with him, and he kept quiet, knowing that Alfred was angry and that anger was all going to fall on him if he said a word.

However, he was not as invisible as he had hoped he was. As Alfred grabbed him by the neck, smashing him to the center table.

the dwarf coughed up some blood.

“I spent a fortune to have you create that rune, and that was it!?” Alfred bellowed in anger.

“No…no my lord. I did work on it well, and even included the curses as you had purchased them from the magician black market. And it should have worked. If only the magicians hadn’t come today, that mark should have engulfed the entire arena, consuming Eunid and Mulligan toge…” he had not finished his words, before he was thrown against a wall.

He coughed up some more blood as he hurried to bow before Alfred, “forgive me! forgive me my lord! i will do better. In fact, I already have. i already have…”

As he spoke, he brought out a particular letter, and just in time too, because Alfred was about to smash a boulder he had fetched from the earth on his head.

However, looking at the letter, he paused. “What is that?”

The bleeding dwarf, coughed up some blood with his a tooth as he spoke up through the pain. “its from the Chasity family. I believe that it will be of great importance to you.”

Alfred took the letter and then after opening it, he frowned at the contents. “That Chasity spoilt BRAT! what does this have to do with him?”

“Exactly my lord. You see the Chasity family is highly valued, and while Sprite who is a vegetable is the celebrant as its her coming of age ceremony, all eyes will be on Apollo. He will be the star of the event.”

Alfred frowned, “and so what? Are you reminding me of position with yet another brat?” He threatened again with the boulder.

“No! My lord, I dare not do such foul against your name. all i am saying is that this is a one in a life time opportunity. You see my sources tell me that Apollo has a sweet spot for Eunid.”

“Of this I am aware dwarf. They all do! All the bastards of almost all families except that Iris of the temperance family all like him.”

“No my lord. I do not mean a sweet spot. I mean a spot SWEETER than others. More like what you did to those female core beasts of the zodiac tribes in the mountains for a whole month.”

Alfred’s eyes suddenly brightened up. And then he frowned a little, “but he is a man.” Then again, the moment he said those words, he held back his tongue. After all, those of power really had weird taste. He, having a taste for awakened core beasts was not one to talk, but still it was very peculiar to know such a secret. After all, the Chasity family were just as their name implied.

Such immorality was absolutely forbidden. And even more so to the one that was heir to the Family.

“How did you come about such news?” Alfred frowned.

The Dwarf chuckled a little, “I have an old drinking buddy in the Chasity family land, and I make sure to keep his drunken words tight to my heart.”

Alfred nodded, “good, good!” However, he suddenly frowned. After all, he could not outrightly blackmail Apollo. More over, this was an heir to a very powerful family. Also, there was no evidence. As such, it made Alfred wonder why such a suggestion was brought up in the first place.

“My lord. Even If you wanted to, Apollo will not want an audience with you. But we can use this even to prepare for the main event. after all, after his sister’s coming of age ceremony, is his own. Unlike other times when their birthdays are celebrated together because of their closeness, it has to be celebrated away from each other because of the patriarch’s willingness to step down from the sit for his son to take over, while he joins the ancestral guardians of the family.

We can use this opportunity to bait him on the first one, and seal the deal on the second one.”

“What do you have in mind dwarf?” Alfred asked.

The dwarf, through his bloody and wounded mouth, gave a fair smirk, “I believe that we only need to set the stage. All we have to do is…”

………..

Meanwhile, In the fog of unbounded demise, battle for life was taking place. They had entered this place at least eighty people strong, but right now, they were only about twenty and the waves just kept on coming.

The worse part was that since they were taking this test as a group, the Fog of unbounded demise judged them as such, hundreds of thousands of Bloodlust had come their way. By now, those that used swords had their hands glued to their weapons as a result of the never ending flow of blood.

Even their strongest was feeling very terrible at the moment. Blood bathed their bodies entirely red. So red that they looked like it was the color of their skin.

Right now, they formed a closed circle as they fought. Those that had given up along the way and tried to leave the circle in an attempt to leave this place all ended up dead without exception.

However, those that died even had it easy. It was those that were unfortunately captured by the blood lust that had it worst. After all, their clothes were peeled off like paper as the Bloodlust mounted them for the sake of lustful pleasure. And those that fought had no choice but to watch.
