8|Spell Testing Gone Wrong (Part Two)
Our MC had gotten himself into quite the pickle. He stood in the laboratory like one out of a Frankenstein movie. Weird-looking creatures of different shapes, colours, and sizes were kept inside capsules."Well, this does not concern me."He turned his head towards the exit.
"Whatever fucked up thing this person is doing is not my problem. This is probably another main character event."He was supposed to be the hero within the darkness; the very thin line he refused to cross was a main character event.
Allow me to explain, he was an extra, and the normal logic in stories is that background characters were not supposed to be found during a main character event. If such a paradox like that were to happen, then he probably would be a main character himself.
And he prefers to remain insignificant and unmemorable; that way he can tread in darkness however he likes. But then he remembered, "Ahhh, am Dark now not Zen! I see, I see."He tapped his leg softly against the ground.
That's our MC for you. Now that he knows he is currently not Zen, then he
might as well take this very rare opportunity to spread the influence and name of Dark Veil farther. Well, I am pretty sure that light from earlier already attracted plenty of attention.
"Lord Dark-sama was right as usual."Velora dropped from above the crater into the lab."Well, it's like he's ever wrong."Nyxa came in after her."Your lordship, you should have waited for Theta."
She fell from above, spreading her hands in an attempt to hug Dark, but he shifted before she could get a hold of him."Hckkkk."She landed on her face."Your lordship is so mean."Little specks of tears fell from her eyes.
"Hahahaha, a barbarian like you couldn't even dream of hugging Lord Dark-sama."Aspilon crouched against a net of strings, thrusting herself forward."I mean just look, you can't even stick a proper landing."
She landed softly and scoffed, flicking her pigtails."Theta doesn't talk to degenerates who use spells to create their boobs."She grinned.
"Humph?!"She stood up and dusted her body."Theta-chan, care to repeat that again?"Aspilon coiled a net of strings around her fingers.
"Just as I suspected. An abandoned town close to the Great Wall would be a perfect place to carry out experiments on fiends."Velora scanned the room."I was right? I just told them I was going hunting on the outskirts of Skon,"Dark thought.A few hours ago, before Dark left his domain, Velora showed a map of possible locations where the Umbra Black could be carrying out their experiments.
He was barely listening, so he pointed to a random location on the outskirts. After he told them that he was going hunting at the outskirts, little did he know that the location he pointed to was the ghost town where he was currently going.
Velora and the other Veils were completely shocked that he deduced the location in such a short amount of time."As expected of Lord Dark."Nyxa shook her head. So they gathered the Dark Veil members and headed out immediately after him.
The earlier explosion also caught their attention, which helped them to pinpoint his location faster."That's the signal, let's move out."Velora commanded, and the rest of the Dark Veil members followed her lead.
"Wait! Wait! Fiends weren't present in the game."Fiends were creatures created from the blood of Amargadon, the evil God who rained chaos and destruction upon the world. While he was being sealed by the great hero, he split his arm, and from it came a stream of red, mucky blood.
Soon after he was sealed, his blood corrupted the land of Aylone where he was sealed. The climate changed, becoming uninhabitable for all living organisms except the fiends that were birthed from his blood—evil creatures who only sought after destruction.
The great hero sacrificed his life to create the Great Wall of Aylone, which separated Aylone from the rest of the world.
Fissures appear from time to time; that's when some fiends manage to escape into the outside world.
Numerous Dark Veil members surrounded the crater, each of them awaiting his orders. The eight Veils knelt down before him."Lord Dark, your orders?"Velora asked, eyes burning with devotion.
"This is such a hassle,"he thought."Scavenge the area, kill any enemy on sight."Dark said with a deepened voice along with his signature aura wave.
"We are Dark Veil."He placed a hand in his pocket."We tread in the darkness."Half of the members replied."We hunt the darkness."The other half answered. They stormed into the lab. Different spells flew around. Dark looked at the scene and sighed. "Well, there's nothing for me to do here."He turned towards a strange-looking door."I guess I will check that out."He shrugged towards the door.
Creak….
He pushed the door open; a long dimly lit hall lay behind it."Creepy."He rolled his eyes inwardly. After a brief walk, he reached the end of the hall. A hole was freshly carved into the wall. Molten earth dripped onto the ground. From the hole, he could see the sky clearly.
A middle-aged man with a few strands of hair on his head, which he probably lost due to stress, wearing a white lab coat, stood atop a large white bird."That's Deria."His brows knit together."After all that talk, she lost."He clenched his fist."Not only did she lose, but she also exposed the location of the lab."
Goosebumps spread across his arm."Lady Ruin is sure to have my head."He picked up a jar."But at least I collected enough samples."He exhaled deeply."This should at least save my skin."A purple light flashed from the hole he carved earlier."Huh?—"An arrow blew off his left hand."Faster, faster Jerald."He slammed his fist onto the bird.
"Tch, I missed…"Dark rubbed his temples."But it's not over yet, the marker stuck perfectly."He grinned.
