Chapter 3 - Immortality Is All I Ask ... (2/2)

”Well, I suppose I could tell him. After all, he does have much potential.” Modus thought to himself.

Beneath his mask, Modus smirked as he snapped his fingers. A woman appeared kneeling between the two of them. He had summoned Adelda. ”Sir, I am here, what is it that you command?”

”Will, this is Adelda, she is my –assistant of sorts. Adelda, stand and look at the young man behind you. He is the user known as Peerless Dao Master, Will.”

She rose quickly and turned her head to the side to glance at Will, behind her. She was curious to see the one who was so different that he caught Lord Modus' attention. He was also the reason why Adelda was promoted, thus she felt somewhat indebted and grateful to the one responsible. However, when she turned to look at Will, those feelings dissipated as her mind raced with questions.

Adelda was disappointed with what she saw, an expression of raging lust on his face. Her impression was more than unimpressed; she felt some disgust towards Will. Overall, to Adelda, the impression was very negative. She had researched into who he was, but he didn't appear to be anything special or significant at all. Yet, because of Modus' interest in the young man standing behind her, she assumed that she had missed something and that there had to be something that drew the attention of her master. Modus was known for not being interested in anything normal.

To Will, Adelda was the perfect woman. She appeared to be in her early twenties, short, tanned and had a cute, rounded face. She had an hourglass figure with a small waist and large breasts. Her voice was soft and sweet as if it were a lullaby. Girls like her did exist on Earth, but they were lacking what Will was most attracted to, wide hips and large buttocks. The woman standing before him fit his checklist of what he wanted in a woman. He was captured by the way her buttocks bounced back and forth as she kneeled before Modus. Usually, the women Will encountered on earth that had these traits portrayed themselves as prostitutes. Adelda seemed to be different to Will, he couldn't quite understand why, but somehow he knew that she was different in a good way.

Adelda turned around to see Will with an expression of dazed lust after her. She snorted in disgust at his bold and blatant vulgarity. Will knew that she was out of his reach, but he didn't care. She was still overwhelmingly attractive to him, so why can't he admire what he sees?

Modus, who was observing the interaction, was amused at the situation. He then communicated with Adelda using a form of telepathy.

”Adelda, I have a mission for you.”

”Yes, Sir!”

”I want you to protect Will as he advances. But, you must do so from the shadows. He must not be aware of your presence. This means that you will dedicate your life to him for the time being. If he should die, so will you. Understood?”

”Yes, I understand. I will treat him more precious than my own life.”

Adelda was dedicated to Modus and would follow anything he said, even if it were to commit suicide. Though she didn't like the assignment, out of reverence and respect for Modus, she would give her life to the mission.

”Excellent and you did good appearing in your original form.”

Modus clapped his hands in delight and moved closer to Will. He put his hands on Will's shoulders and whispered into his ears.

”If you accomplish my goals that I have set before you, I can give you that woman's body to do with as you please!”

Will was awestruck. What did he just hear? This could not be true, it must be a joke to toy with Will's mind and emotions.

”C –Can you really do that?” said Will in a nervous, but hopeful trembling voice.

”Of course, she belongs to me. She would do anything I asked; even kill herself willingly should I simply ask it.”

Will raised his eyebrow in suspicion. Surely this is a joke. He looked at Adelda with questioning eyes.

”If you were to complete what has been asked of you, many women, including myself would give themselves to you.”

Adelda said this with an expressionless face, but she was repulsed by the idea. She would never give herself to a simple mortal. As part of her duties to Modus, however, she was obligated by devotion to him to do whatever he should wish –even if it meant giving herself over to the idiotic and pathetic example of a human man.

Will, on the other hand, was ecstatic. He would get to marry the enticing specimen standing in front of him.

”So you will marry me if I do whatever Modus tells me to do?”

”No, if you complete the tasks Lord Modus has set before you, I and many other women –”

”I don't want other women! I want you and only you! I want to marry you, not just have a sex slave. I want a wife.”

Stunned, Adelda stood as all went silent. She didn't expect an answer such as this from someone with that lustful look that she saw across his face. To add to this, he only wanted her, not any other women. Because Adelda was an immortal being and had lived a long time, she could tell from experience that Will was not lying to her. He was rather serious. Though, could not help but laugh. He was acting mature and serious, but his 'manhood' was still 'standing at attention' from the time he first set eyes on her.

”If you complete the tasks set before you, I will give you my body and my heart. But, I doubt you have a chance.”

”Excuse me Sir Modus,” said Adelda as she bowed and disappeared.

As soon as she left, Will fell to the ground trembling, ”Perfection does exist!”

”Right, time for me to go,” said Modus, ”I will send you messages now and then explaining the tasks.”

After he said this, he began to fade away, but Will tried to stop him by interjecting.

”Aren't you going to give me a rough idea about what I should do first?”

”Alright, start grinding. You need to improve yourself and your skills. The first task is simple. Ascend. I need you to become an immortal.”

As he finished saying this, Modus had completely faded away, leaving Will standing on his own.
