Darius Supreme

Ger Minal looked at Luna with confusion. The almighty Lord of Safemoon wanted that thing? Then clearly any fool could tell it was a supreme treasure, but what was it to them - the goblins - if they couldn't use it?

This museum gave out a reward to anyone who could identify the use of any of the treasures that could be verified, and it was quite a rich reward. However, what use was such a reward to likely the richest man in the world?

Asking for the use of the treasure was also at the limit of stupidity and might earn him the enmity of the Lord of Safemoon. The smart thing to do would be to go through with this transaction and earn the favor of Safemoon.

No wait!

Ger Minal's eyes flashed.

Safemoon were currently on a conquering spree and their meaty claws had extended down to the southern area of Fallon. Currently, empires like theirs were even panicking and scrambling to find countermeasures.

Normally they would invite the Gods of Elysium to help, but they had been bombed into hiding. Then, the next option were the Demons, but not even the most desperate fuck would invite them here.

There was a difference between inviting wolves into your house and inviting the evilest abyssal entity.

As such, their kingdom would soon be conquered by Safemoon and this item could be claimed by force. However, it was clear the Lord of Safemoon was not willing to wait so long and wanted to acquire it now before any variables occurred.

Since being conquered was inevitable for their kingdom, then why not…

Ger Minal lowered his head and pondered for a while as Luna remained silent and composed. In her mind, it didn't matter if the answer was yes or no. If it was yes, she would pay the bill she was supposed to pay and if no, she would simply take it by force.

Ger Minal raised his head after a while and smiled. "Miss Luna, I would like to trade the Red Gem with you, but on one condition."

Luna's eyes narrowed slightly but she did not show any negative responses. "What would that condition be?"

"I would like to be appointed Governor of the Goblin Empire after it becomes a province under the hands of Safemoon." Ger Minal asked with sweat forming on his brow.

Luna was silent for a while and then glanced at Ger Minal deeply. Her disdain for him disappeared slightly as she respected his intelligence and foresight, but she still contacted Darius first.

Darius chuckled and informed her that with her status, she could easily make decisions like this without checking in first. While Luna was grateful for the responsibility and trust, it also weighed down on her and caused her to feel pressured.

Luna glanced at the expectant Ger Minal and nodded. Ger Minal released an audible sigh of relief and then stood up, bowing to Luna subserviently.

"Lady Luna, allow this servant to personally retrieve the Red Gem for you then." Ger Minal offered respectfully.

Luna was amused. The fellow had already adopted the posture that he should have in the future, which said a lot of things. All in all, Luna had to admit that she was left with a positive feeling overall and would count this as one of her better experiences while performing the task Darius gave her.

...….

Meanwhile, far away on a nearby coast of the Continent of Kiel.

A hand blasted through the surface of the water and grabbed the nearby shore. After securing purchase, it then gripped the shore tightly before another came to join, then pulling up a person from the sea.

A wave of lush red hair swirled in the air, splashing droplets about. Apart from the sound of clunking metal, the only thing one could see were sharp amber eyes filled with confusion and determination to live.

Deia pulled herself onto the shore of Kiel with a shaky grip. Her body was soaked with water and her usually pristine armor was a bit blackened at certain places.

Deia panted as she lay there for a while. She then slowly began removing parts of her armor, only leaving her breastplate and the lower part of her greaves which formed some type of boots.

Her arms and thighs were partially exposed, displaying her lovely caramel skin that had intoxicated Darius in their previous life.

Deia looked around and muttered to herself. "Where am I?"

The last thing she remembered was sensing death coming for her. She had seen her Goddess and all the other deities rush up to form a dome over the City of Light, but that dome was easily shattered by the sheer explosive power and the shockwave blew apart the city below.

Deia did not know or understand how she survived. She was more than certain that she should have died as at the last second, the gods abandoned all the believers on the continent and took only the demi-gods to their Divine Kingdoms to evade the fallout.

Deia was not a demi-god, just a paladin of her Goddess's church, so she was naturally left behind.

Deia felt a pain in her chest as she thought of how she was abandoned. She had believed in her Goddess wholeheartedly despite something at the back of her soul muttering to her that everything was a lie and that she was with the wrong person while also being at the wrong place.

As time passed, and especially after she happened to see Darius at that cafe, that voice had become louder and louder until it was almost screeching in her head.

However, it was silent now.

After all, the current Deia did not need a reminder.

Now that her Goddess had abandoned her, she was free to do what she wanted. Unfortunately, she had lost all her power as part of the fallout, so she was basically no different from a weak Amateur.

Deia picked up her still wet sword at was at her waist and began to trudge forward, wondering where fate would take her.
