Chapter 223: Ready for War? (1/2)
”So it has begun,” I spoke with malice as the skies seem to be raining over Midgard in an endless stream of starlight.
Touching my chest, I could feel the mark of Bahoment begin to burn as his words rang within my mind, ”My Little Apostle, I may have killed a core member of the Court of Nox and used the name of Vaevictis to accelerate the Abyssal War. Do not disappoint. I wish to see blood.”
”Oh!” I said in shock and confusion.
”Azeroth will be meeting with Lilith soon, be there when she receives his seal. You are not powerful enough to understand much right now, but your mind will retain it. Either way, my boy, I wish you luck with the Abyssal War... You will need it. ” He said in a hollow tone as the mark went cold.
Clenching my teeth, I turned to Ezra, ”Go to the Nines and bring back those proficient with Formations and Engineering; they do not need to be strong, just proficient. That bastard Bahomet just fucked us.”
”Yes,” She said, waving her hand as a familiar gate appeared. Staring at the Gate of Brimstone, I could feel my skin tingle in excitement and fear as she stepped in, vanishing from my sight.
”Arsene, finish this auction; we can discuss the rest later,” Lilith said in a dark tone akin to a demon of wrath.
Nodding my head, I turned my attention back to the confused looks of those around, ”My apologies, it would seem we have to cut this auction off a little early than I hoped.”
Seeing many holding strange relics, I did not put much thought in as they simply nodded with a malicious gleam.
”Three billion, and a Divine Sword.” Someone from the Aesir Clan roared.
”Five billion with the blood of a golden dragon.”
”5.5 billion with a...”
...
...
....
Hearing the endless numbers, my heart remained cold as they continued to my annoyance. Releasing a breath, I passed my hands through my hair as Eric arose.
”Five Billion, and a drop of Primordial essence from the World Tree.”
”SOLD” I yelled, having no idea what the hell that was. While what he asked for was smaller than the current bid, I figured it was sufficient; either way, a billion was more than enough. I only needed a few million to get control over Hallr. The rest was just icing on the cake.
”Ridiculous, it's merely a drop!!” Someone from the Vanirs bellowed in rage, glaring at me with malice.
Watching as Eric arose, I smile as a few members of his posse began carrying a few large crates as they placed it at my feet. With a deep smile, Eric spoke. ”Five billion in each would you like to count?”
”Nope, I trust you... Especially when you wanna impress Ezra.” I curtly said as he blushed a bit.
”Surely you jest, but I may have taken a fancy to her.” he weakly said as I laughed.
Smirking, I eyed the young man, ”Is this the reason you were so lucrative?”
”No, I reived a direct message from the High King,” Eric whispered, sending a shiver down most. ”He is also inviting you to visit the capital when you have the chance.”
Handing me a vial filled with an emerald color liquid, I felt my blood shiver in greed. Narrowing my gaze, I nodded, handing Eric a single ring holding two hundred spiral rings. ”Send your intent into the ring, and it will work.”
