《Dusk God》Chapter 19 - Crazed Days
Advertisement
Prince Harman part of the royal family, but as he doesn't have a lot of support compared to his brothers he always seems to be picked on.
Even his bodyguards who are thought to protect him act for different people making his daily life a struggle.
But as to not appeared weak to his brothers he always stayed silent.
There is a total of four people who cared enough not to cause trouble for him, his brothers and his mother.
I talked to him a lot about his daily life and how he ended in this mess.
I'm not one to force information from someone unless it is very common knowledge I should have or someone is targetting me.
But this is a new place and I have some interest in how the items around here are used.
For example, some people use Teashed Grass to make low-grade potions, but if it was me I would make it into a nice chilled Tea.
This is the difference between others.
As the Prince and I are talking to each other we begin to move towards the World Tree.
"Oh, Dracula please don't mention the World Tree as we move forward. The World Tree is a highly protected secret that my royal family has been guarding. If someone finds out the World Tree is on this continent and it is real then we can cause a large amount of trouble for me." Harman speaks in a begging tone.
"Don't worry Harman, I won't discuss it..... So how much trouble are you in for telling me?" The World Tree is a very guarded, a holy tree and he told the location of it to me, a complete outsider.
He looks at me and realizes that he broke one of his family biggest rules.

"I shouldn't be in too much trouble, but I doubt I'll get away with a light punishment," He sighs.
As we are walking (or just the Dracula as Harman can't) I figured that we can take a tour around the continent after all I don't come here every day. It could be like a vacation as I've been busy with the sugar deals I finally can relax.
"So Harman, since we're in the demon continent tell me some touring spots."
"Sir Dracula, I don't want to be in this form for such a long time. Can you please help me get my body first then I'll take you around the continent."
"Yes yes." I nodded.
Making our way down the uncrowded road. Walking and having a nice conversation with Harman I found that he is a man of action, and as such he feels that with his body not there, weirded out.
POV King
'I don't usually have any fun unless it is when a guest arrives. Today I'm having one of the other kings over, an old friend of mine and one of the most powerful people alive.'
"Hello, King Tithir how are you?" I always hate to see Tithir mostly because he is so beautiful that he always makes my maids bashful and unbecoming.
"Marwick stop with the formalities we need to talk real quick so I can go." His tone is very aggressive but smooth.
"Whats the problem, old friend?" I say, 'I've known him for over several hundred years and this is the first time he has been so serious.'
"There is something on this planet that is making the world tree afraid." He says and holds his shaking hand.
"What do you think is making the world tree afraid? Is it someone new to our planet or is it an invasion?"

"All I know is that I can't sense anything, but the world tree is trying to cut itself away from us and hide, that alone is scary as I can't even hope to damage it as the worlds strongest person alive. So, what is this threat?" Hiding his head in his arms he begins to hyperventilate.
"Is this our end?" I say in a whisper and bring out my best wine, "Do you mind helping me with this before you go?" By saying this they both gained an acholic addiction
'The most powerful thing on Camas, but he's acting like this. Hopefully, he gets his act together so we may face this unitedly.'
Suddenly the Tithir stopped and whispered.
"It's started."
Looking out the window the Hydra King immediately shuttles out into his true form. A total of Eight Heads holding a white jade crown on each and wide wings out his back.
With a burst of air, he zooms out.
"Fuck," both Kings say.
Marwick rapidly follows after the man to quickly find that he was unable to catch up.
Three Days Later
POV Dracula
We have been walking to the world tree, we could have gotten there faster but I wanted to lead more of a scenic tour.
Walking together me and the Hydra have learned more about each other and have become closer. Not to the point that we are friends but at least we can release some boredom.
When we finally made it the prince was confused, the hidden gate was not under the illusion spell and was out in the open.
The spell was meant to stay active 24/7 and to always have a stream of power from the world tree to hide, so it is in the open was something that even the prince was startled by.
Making our way into the cave I notice two things. Firstly, there is no one guarding and secondly, there are no bodies either.
"Something is happening." The Prince says.
"Yeah, there is someone by the world tree he seems to be extracting something from it, most likely the trying to kill the tree," I say calmly.
'Strange someone else is here now, does this planet have something important enough to try to grab the fruit? Although we say fruit it's not something that simply obtained one must either be above level 5000 or have a special item. I wonder.'
Looking at the humanoid person that seems to invade the cave, while of course hiding both me and the boy. I make the system scan him and find something interesting.
