Chapter 214 - VI Oaldir, the Unlucky Devil (1/2)
When the battlefield was done, everyone was covered by white light before they all vanished. Elijah saw himself standing in hill with Iris, no. He had returned to his original form. Then he turned to look at himself and saw he was back to his body too.
”What is happening?” Elijah pressed his hands against his head. It was too sudden for him.
”The seal, only the rulers and generals can break it. Look at your hand.” Elijah didn't understand, but he looked at his hand and saw a small black badge with the word ”Ruler” on it. Heracle extended his own hand and showed another black badge with the word ”Commander”.
”See, this is something that happened once before. It seems the objective is to capture other's badges.”
”Huh?” One thousand kilometers away, Oaldir raised an eyebrow. ”I can feel a presence. One thousand kilometers away!”
Oaldir, A low-rank devil in charge of spreading the devil path through the mortal worlds felt something. It has been some time ago since he discovered the tomb of a ancient demon and recovered what looked like a Demonic core. He was elated to realize the demon was not just any ordinary one, but one of the demon gods of time. His position in the devil territory risen immensely after his merge with the core.
He could not help but remember the time he had to give demon artifacts to others in order to corrupt them. The last time was when found a telented seed with a marvelous tristy for power and blood, it was sad that his plans were destroyed by a young specter. When he heard it from others he nearly went crazy, he searched for the specter but the man was gone. Shortly after the planet he was from also vanished and all the powerful people there was throw away, his devil seedlings included.
Holding his white badge with the word ”commander” he remembered what his Lord said. ”If you find any badges while participating in the time war be sure to give me the commander badges even if you need to reveal yourself.”
As part of the demon territory, he could not go against the lord's orders. Over countless years when he was still a little low-rank devil, he had a inborn connection to life energies he could use by achieving the One-With-the-World state. In this state, he could see how strong the person he was facing was or if there is something or somebody hiding in the distance. His badge also started trembling as it felt the presence of an enemy badge in the proximity.
”Haha. This is my luck day. Oaldir stared at a direction, his eyes gleaming. ”Perhaps I will be able to do finish my lord's task without the need to participate in the final battle.”
His body, now in his original form merged with wind as his vanished.
On the immense battlefield, Elijah and Heracles were walking shoulder-to-shoulder, chatting and laughing as they monitored the surroundings with their sense. Given their power, there was no one they had to fear. Those who made trouble would just be seeking death.
Suddenly Elijah's gaze sharpened by a couple of times. His eyes pierced the air like a sword before he laughed without any worries. ”Someone is coming over.”
