Chapter 2142: Can We Talk?

“You wish to talk but I am not in the liberty of talking to you.” Adrian stated as he summoned the blue, green, and red dragons to attack Eldritch.

“Losers should always listen to the winners.” Eldritch stated as he casted a spell that created a barrier around him and destroyed the summoned dragons.

“Did you think that you actually won when we clashed before? I thought that you would have realized back then but it seems that you built yourself up with pride that you do not see the situation.” Adrian stated which made Eldritch furrow his eyebrows as the latter thought that he did kill Adrian back then.

“Speak! I only remember you dying from my transformation.” Eldritch stated.

“Oh! I did die. You are right about that, but I did not lose.” Adrian stated.

“There was no karma reduction when I killed you back then.” Eldritch stated.

“Ding… ding…ding! You managed to arrive at the correct answer. I revived back then which you did not know that I had such a skill since no one seen it before. When I revive, the karma deduction does not get credited to the one that killed me because I never truly died. If you managed to kill me after my first revival, then that would be another thing.

Still, I am busy Champion of the Dark Gods. I have no time to play your little games for today and no interest on hearing what you want to say. That nasty god behind you is looking at me like it wants to kill me anyway. So, goodbye!” Adrian stated as he created two portals that collided towards Eldritch.

The god behind Eldritch alarmed him of what was about to happen and made the latter use a powerful spatial disruption spell that destroyed any forms of spatial movement. This also destroyed the third portal that Adrian created that led to Neo Alfheim. This clearly made Adrian very angry as his aura no longer looks like he is joking about. He released his entire Asmodian aura that actually shocked Eldritch for a second.

“Do you not want to know how that pesky fairy managed to revive? I am here because some of the other followers of the dark gods have strayed from my control. I do not want that and the god behind me tells me that you can help me in identifying where they are. If you help me then I can help you with your black fairy problem.” Eldritch stated.

“So, it was the followers of the dark gods that helped in her revival. Why should I trust you when you can also be deceiving me?” Adrian stated.

“One reason… I am not trying to kill you.” Eldritch stated with his confidence that he could take on Adrian at a fight and arrive on top.

“No trying to kill me? You launched an attack at me earlier when I was trying to get away from here.” Adrian stated.

“That was non-lethal and barely qualified as a spell. If I really wanted to kill you then I would have bombarded, you with spells.” Eldritch stated as he believed that he is still superior compared to Adrian.

“Uhuh. I might as well hear you out as you were easily killed by Tai. You know, the oni masked player. If he could easily kill you then I am able to do that as well, so you do not scare me one bit.” Adrian stated with confidence and that angered Eldritch a bit.

Eldritch has yet to repay Tai for the humiliation that he suffered against him. He did try and derail the activities that Tai did in the eastern continent. He planted some followers of the dark gods there as a way to destroy all the plans that Tai’s secret group was doing. Also, the operations that Tai’s group in the eastern continent also interested him as they were trying to resurrect gods.

“I can assure you that I can easily destroy you right now. Do not test my patience.” Eldritch stated.

“I can also assure you that I have run out of patience. Kanlaon, give our unwanted visitor a little whack on the head.” Adrian stated as Kanlaon suddenly swung his tail towards Eldritch. The power of the tail destroyed Eldritch’ barrier and knocked him back by one foot. Eldritch is a bit shocked by this as his barrier was incredibly powerful but a mere soulbound was able to destroy it with a tail swing. He did not want to admit it, but it seems that the player in front of him is as powerful as him. freewebnvel.com

“She was given a Tainted Heart.” Eldritch stated as he was already wasting too much time, and he needed to pursue the stragglers from their group.

“What is that?” Adrian asked as he was now interested.

“It is a heart of a dark god called the Empress of Hearts. It gives continuous stream of mana or even miasma depending on what it was filled with. The Black Fairy was given that item in exchange for something that the corrupted dryad had. All you need to do is destroy that heart and you should be able to easily defeat that black fairy. A heart from the Empress of Hearts is weak to direct physical attacks” Eldritch stated as he was indeed running out of time.

“Toss it then.” Adrian stated.

“Toss what?” Eldritch asked.

“Toss the thing that can help me track the ones you are following. The fact that they managed to evade means that they are good at hiding. One more thing that you are not good at.” Adrian stated as he managed to strike a nerve.

Eldritch did not argue even though he knew that Adrian was taunting him. He just alluded Adrian’s rambling to the fact that the latter lost in their fight. He still clearly believes that he was the ultimate winner of their showdown. Adrian believed that it was a tie or undecided as The never really wanted to fight Eldritch back then.

Eldritch tossed a glowing mana crystal that seemed to be covered in some dark and eerie flesh. Adrian immediately activated Memory of the World to see what it will show him. It showed him two cloaked individuals running off to a place hidden by a bog. These two cloaked individuals are then swallowed by the bog and disappeared.

“Here are the coordinates. Have fun.” Adrian stated as he wrote the coordinates in the paper and tossed it towards Eldritch.

“I already been to this location before.” Eldritch stated.

“Have you been under it?” Adrian stated as a hint before vanishing as he is already late.

“He left just like that when he already got what he wanted.” Eldritch stated as he heard something akin to a static noise in the background.

“What do you mean recruit him? That guy is basically our nemesis since he is the Champion of the Twin Gods.” Eldritch stated as static noise could be heard again.

“Possibility? What kind of possibility is that? That guy will never join us, and I do not like losers hanging around me. His type of people is what I hate the most.” Eldritch stated as the being that was communicating with him no longer spoke.

He now held the coordinates and the real area that he needs to check. He did not think to check under the bog as he believed that it would be all dirt, but it seems there is a hidden area there. To think that the Dark God that suggested to do this strategy turned out to be correct.

“No wonder they say that demons truly grasp this world. Anyways, I should punish those traitors for taking something that should be mine. I should have told him that the heart does not necessarily have to be attached to the black fairy, but he was such a headache to deal with.” Eldritch stated as he vanished from his location with a puff of black smoke. Eldritch was not the only one that withheld information as Adrian did not tell Eldritch that there were lots of mana eaters below the bog. He did not say anything about it as he was only asked to tell where they were hiding and not show any concern to Eldritch. He did not want to help but it seems that Eldritch’ information was indeed genuine as he saw two hooded figures talking to the Corrupted Dryad Dorn.

“Based on what the fairies have told me, a Grafts cannot absorb power on its own and needs the aid of another fae. Which means that this heart that Eldritch was talking about could possible be with that corrupted elder dryad. He probably knew of this but did not say anything because I gave him attitude. Hope that you do not get what you want though.” Adrian thought as he arrived at Neo Alfheim and was greeted by a powerful wave of miasma with the source being the Black Fairy Mavros.
