《Villainess and Grimoire》Chapter 104 – General Aurora Arc

Advertisement

Back in the day, the twins were blessed by chaos and evil gods.

Obscurity, grotesque, slaughter, disorder are the four main words to describe the inside of a creepy cave where blood poured from its entrance practically every day.

That liquid, nothing else passes, as it is one of the monster nests where multiple vampires are forced to fight one another to the death, to slay, to prey upon.

Day after day, death after death.

The one who won yesterday is the one who dies tomorrow.

No being is forever guaranteed to survive in such a place where the strong prey on the weak and the weak backstab at the strong.

No one takes sides, no one makes a truce.

To kill or be killed is the one and only reason for thousands of years, the faithful and only law such monsters revere.

In such a place a certain irregularity was born at the same time Aurora received the class pandemonium.

Drinking from a blacked chalice filled with blood, the god or goddess of chaos Lute. An androgynous divinity who often is seen as male or female depending on the mood smiled delightfully at his deeds.

Not only had he successfully tricked the god of evil Hathus to give power to the twins but from the leftover energy also gave birth to something elsewhere.

The system which was perfect in reality had a few flaws placed by one of his makers, in order to, further enhance that god's purpose, a goal which is neither victory nor defeat, but a pure and simple wish to bring the biggest and most marvelous pandemonium to Artana.

He had used powers to check Iris and Aurora after their deeds realizing that their existence was peculiar, in fact, the system made them quite unique.

It was to such a different and entertaining extent that Lute couldn't help his curiosity towards them, and so he attempted to peek into their souls.

When he did something unusual and intricate was perceived by such a being, a curse inside Aurora blocked him from having access to her information.

It was on that day that he decided to make use of both of them guaranteeing that both her goals would be realized, for Aurora the tome of her dreams which he stole from her old world, and for Iris, the possibility to grow stronger than other lowly beings.

'Blood... blood... blood... more of it, more I need more, dead bodies, carcasses, corpses, body parts, consume and devour.'

'Bit by bit, through the darkness, under the floor, through the small holes where none of the vampires will notice.'

'Slowly I'll consume all there is to absorb, without leaving a drop of that fabulous liquid left.'

'Then one day I'll leave this place, one day for sure...'

'What should I do when that day arrives?'

'If I become strong enough I should be able to do anything I want...'

'Power, I need the power to devour... this place? To absorb other places too?'

'I see... I shall gain everything and eat all of it, carefully, wickedly, without anyone noticing I'll grow viciously into a better version of me.'

A year goes by and the blood stopped pouring from the cave, and the seal in it was broken as a victory was decided since that was the condition to unlock it.

A dungeon whose purpose was the outcome of a single being, a grotesque side amusement to Lute.

Never again would there be more of that liquid coming out of it for the being inside had devoured everyone else becoming a Lord.

Year 5009 after the system day 70 of the flowering season during the night where Aurora consumed the goblin woman.

The rustling of deceased leaves spread through the darkened forest that had come to death as monsters passed slowly on top.

Inaudible voices crossed through the entire place through the camouflage of the night.

Through telepathy, a monster sent a message to another and this repeated endlessly till it reached their leader, this specific race could only communicate by such methods, as such, this skill was normal for them to have since birth, and generally would use it at all as they live neutrally without any need to convey thoughts.

'The human that is not a human, but a vampire type like our Lord, has won the battle against thousands of beasts through splendid tactics such as putting fire to the entire forest ruthlessly, forcing their way outs in a brainless charge.'

'Truly like the beasts they were, if only our Lord could consume all of their bodies, he'd surely grow even stronger.'

'Perhaps go as far as to transform into a king type, I'd love to serve one like that.'

'The humans call them kings and queens, princes and princesses, I think a family like that would even suit the likes of us.'

'For that, the Lord would need to get a queen and he becomes a king.'

'Such thoughts must be conveyed to him, we can make it as our race desire.'

'Even though we don't have something like desires?'

'Thanks to the Lord we do, we even have an ambition, an aspiration to live on without being stepped and farmed for the experience.'

'Well, in that case, pass on the message as your closer to the Lord, so that he may think of finding someone that could befit his inner desires if he has any.'

'I'm sure he does, after all, even today he thirsts for blood, the blood of the race he brought to extinction with the death of all the vampires.'

'What a shame... he should've kept a few of the women to expand his underlings, and we'd be able to have future generations to serve.'

'What's done is done, we can only eagerly hope he wishes for it.'

Year 5009 after the system day 20 of the sun season during the night where the humans had their great victory against the goblin riders.

'This... amazing, the vampire woman Aurora has destroyed 40 thousand beasts, if only our Lord was here to consume their bodies... perhaps he'd transform into a king instead... or with that many even higher...'

'We must warn him, and start to deal with the goblins further south so the humans have a better chance at getting rid of the ones here.'

'The Lord replied.'

'What did the almighty one said?'

'We should ally ourselves to this fake human girl, she wouldn't dare to refuse our power as she's lacking in numbers if all the green things join together.'

'Should I go try to meet her then?'

'The Lord mentioned he'd come for her during the second moon season from now, under a red moon that's when his skills are strongest, just in case she attempts to kill him.'

'So for now we keep reporting what we see through the entire southern area.'

'We must, for the Lord to be able to do the best decisions. He's truly interested in the vampire girl, after the memories that were collected from us.'

'It was a good thing we have the skill to hide our presences it makes us perfect spies.'

'That is so, let us go before someone happens to step on us by mistake.'

'It is a very natural thing to do, and then those who do end up being devoured afterward, some of them are pretty delicious too.'

'That's quite true, it's a good thing the vampire woman didn't notice us, but I wonder if the Lord will be able to subdue such a scary-looking being.'

'I doubt he wouldn't be able to, after all, she needs our assistance... just she doesn't know yet.'

'Do you think she's a vampire-like the Lord?'

'She did look similar to the tales he told us about, plus she too devoured that big goblin woman. Aurora looked strong and dangerous, I'm sure if it was against us, we'd be dead.'

'Well, our race isn't the weakest the two of us that are powerless.'

'We too should start consuming and become more useful to the Lord, so that he can take us to greater heights.'

'Tell everyone else to hide and consume carefully, the Lord doesn't want us to die.'

'I'll pass on that message too.'

'She did look like a vampire, matching the Lord's appearance, both very old looking in a human aspect.'

'Tell the Lord we'll stay here watching what will happen next between the ones called humans and the goblins, surely there are more battles to go for.'

'I will, I've also warned all of us and established new connections to the ones around to focus on the green creatures.'

'Good, like this we'll help the girl without her knowing, and then one day when she meets the Lord she'll surely wish to serve him.'

'Ah... that is something worth waiting for, can't wait to see all our enemies being devoured by both, especially by the Lord with that crimson color of his.'

'Yes, truly beautiful just like blood.'

'Depending on our own war, I wonder to what point we won't ally ourselves to the humans.'

'Think the god of monsters would allow such a thing?'

'If it is to cause more chaos, perhaps he wouldn't mind?'

'That could indeed happen... I wonder what the Lord intends to do next.'

'Return to him and assist, I'm sure you have some use.'

'I shall keep looking for evolved beasts like the lord mentioned so that we can make him a king.'

'Only place left to look into is the human's territory, think they'd have any?'

'Worst case we find a powerful enough human, seeing as the lord consumes anything, it could help.'

'Consuming a human... sure, pass on that message as well, perhaps it'll bring a good influence to our master.'

'I shall make sure you consume the corpses of the following wars if you have a chance to, maybe you'll evolve into a lord too.'

'Wouldn't that be great? To assist him with lots of power, I guess every king needs a couple of lords to keep him safe.'

'Perhaps that Aurora is a lord in disguise, the way she shapeshifted... to think she'd have a skill like that...'

'We must be wary, worst case she devours the communication skill we possess being able to check on our intel.'

'That would backfire everything... devourers like the lord truly are problematic, no wonder the lord wants her in his army.'

'Doesn't mean she can do it like him, but there was something ominous to her, different than the master, perhaps he'd be interested in devouring her instead?'

'Maybe after defeating the goblins, conquering the humans, the kobolds, and the orcs.'

'What would be left after that?'

'There's plenty of other races left, too many to count certainly.'

'We must get stronger, maybe use her commanding abilities to help us in wars.'

'For a human that young...'

'For a human that old...'

In unison, the voices speak,' for one to be so fascinating.'
