Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 249: Creature of Chaos and War

Chapter 249: Creature of Chaos and War

Feeling my intense stare, the pale goddess emerald eyes sparkled into life as they opened up towards me. Watching them widen in surprise, her body shook as a familiar Darkness permeated her body in a misty air.

"Nyx, I found him!" The strange woman voiced, her tone sweet like nectar as she stared.

Letting out a gentle air, this strange woman arose with a vibrant smile. Watching her ashen hair flow over her back, she slowly drew closer. With a curious gleam, her gaze traced over my body, trying to look for something.

"Do we know each other?" I asked, feeling a little awkward. Shaking her head, the pale goddess suddenly bowed.

"Forgive my rudeness; I am Melino?, Daughter of Hades, King of the Underworld." She quickly said, with a hint of anticipation, "Father and Nyx, goddess of Night, has commanded that I look for the recent child of Tenebrae."

Scrunching my brow Melino? raised her head, staring deep into my soul with soul captivating eyes. Shaking off the uncomfortable feeling within my heart, I released a fake smile.

"I am sorry I think there is a misunderstanding." I said, backing away, "I have never met this so call Hades, much less someone by the name of Nyx."

Touching her chin Melino? tilted her head, "Strange... but I know I am right. Am I hallucinating again? hmmm,"

"Again?" I questioned. That is definitely a big red flag.

Shaking my head, I turned to Eluf, merely smiling with anticipation, "Abaddon, it would seem like-"

"No, his name is Are..."

Covering Melino?'s mouth, I glared at the woman, whispering into her ear using the darkness as a way for only us to hear, "Shut it... We will speak in private. I have enemies, and if you are my ally, we are both dead. Even if you are a god."

Pushing my palm away, the Pale Goddess snorted, wiping her mouth, "Hmph, whatever. We will speak tonight. Nyx wishes a word with you."

Watching as a mist of darkness began to cover her, my eyes open wide in shock as she...teleported using the darkness. Gasping aloud, my heart began to quake at the thought of teleportation using the darkness.

"Abaddon?" Eluf called out as the warrior to his side smirked.

"What? have you fallen for her?" He asked in a condescending tone.

Arching my lips, I could not help but chuckle, "If her father is who I think it is. I don't think that is a good idea. It would be like having the Goddess of Helheim upon my neck.

"Surely you jest," Eluf said.

"Nope, Ar... I mean, Abaddon is not at all wrong. Hades is quite protective of his kin, although he has killed a few over the years for going against his will."

Narrowing my gaze, I stared at the little loli upon the ancient tree. Looking at the emerald child twirling her small feet through the air, everyone around me fell to their knees. Yet to my surprise, none of them spoke, only shaking in their boots.

"Leave us. I wish to speak to 'Abaddon,' the Little loli announced, leaping off the massive tree.

Gliding towards me like a leaf, my lips curled up as I caught her small body, "You remind me of Truck-Kun. You two would not happen to be related." I asked, watching as she smirked.

"Truck-kun? You are related to her? That explains a lot," The strange child said as I saw her emerald brow twitch in shock. "I have heard of a few monsters in my time. Are you one of her soldiers? Out of all I have met, all of them are monsters who ascended or died due to unfair chances."

With a profound light flickering through my eyes, I placed the small child down, watching as she skipped around me as every one of the villagers quickly left without a word.

"So, Arsene, have you figured out who I am?" She asked in a childlike tone licking her lips as her emerald hair that hung over the floor began to flow with the cool breeze.

She knew my name and my fake name, yet she has not killed me. She is not with the Court of Nox and this natural a... The Tree. She was upon the World Tree.

"Yggdrasil?"

"Ding Ding Ding," She yelled with childlike innocent as she walked back towards the world tree.

"This is merely a lesser root, yet it allows me to see everything physically," Yggdrasil uttered with a deep smile as she took a seat by the base of her root.

Moving closer, I sat in the lotus position in front of her staring as she looked up into the air, "Noctem of Destruction, how Baphomet acquired such an Arte from Tenebrae is beyond me. Tell me, Arsene, what do you think of that Arte?"

"I-I cannot explain it, Mo... Tenebrae spoke to me, saying it was not her darkness but rather mine. It's odd, don't you think? If my very soul was altered by her darkness, how could it be mine?" I asked as Yggdrasil smiled.

"Could be a gift, or maybe you comprehended something that severed her will form it. There are many theories, but one thing is certain that Arte and those flames are destroying my realm." Yggdrasil coldly said, losing her innocence. "My deal with Lilith and Ezra was for my realms not to be destroyed, and you, Arsene, are walking upon a path of death."

"Oh, is this a warning?" I uttered, smiling as Yggdrasil stared at me with a mocking gleam. "Do you think the Court of Nox will abide by the rules you lay down? I am actually surprised they have not already destroyed your realm."

"Ignorance truly is bliss." She curtly said, "Arsene, I am a member of the Court of Nox. "

Opening my mouth wide, Yggdrasil sneered, "Why do you think I allowed them to appear within my land? Why do you think an army of soldiers was randomly there. Did you not think it was all strange?"

"I did, but why?" I coldly asked, a little confused. "Why not kill me?"

Shaking her head Yggdrasil sneered towards the heavens, "Because I have no interest. The Court of Nox has many divisions, and the path they are currently on me, along with a few others, are against. We refuse to take part, so we help every now and then, but there is a give and take out of this."

"So you let Lilith operate here, but in return, you give the Nox my position every now and again to keep the peace."

"You can say it like that. While I do not need the Court of Nox, the current protector is on his last leg, and a new War is on its way. I have already spoken with the former Celestrial King, and we have decided upon you to be our champion."

Releasing a deep laugh, I spat, "The Court of Nox will die, and as for anything else, why should I care? Me a champion? Yggdrasil. I am a demon. I could migrate to the hells or go to the Abyss. Why the hell should I care about anything."

With a smile that didn't reach her eyes, Yggdrasil giggled. "Because Arsene, you live for Chaos and War, you are a Devil. It's in your nature. No matter what you do, I will bet my life that you will join."
