MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Vampire God

Chapter 145 The Mysterious Turtle (2)

" Reincarnation is a lie " Rhea said, not buying the old turtle's story but the old turtle only smiled and continued.

" The clash we had when we were both tier 5 was one sided, I was toyed with and humiliated, I could not even see Odin's heels much less land a proper attack.

That was the lowest point of my life.

The only reason I lived was because Odin in his immense pride did not even think I was worthy enough to be classified as a threat for him anymore and hence he spared my life.

It's the flaw of the chosen ones, every single one of them thinks they are some sort of bigshots who are untouchable, unkillable and undefeatable.

So did Odin, and boy o boy did he pay for his arrogance". The turtle said as finally a satisfied smile began to form on his face as if the story was finally about to take a turn for the better.

" With my defeat died all my arrogance, all my desire for revenge as the prince of the turtles died in that battle and the person who emerged was just a coward.

It was around this time that I finally started seeing Odin for the cheater that he really was and hence I started looking into the history books on how to defeat the cheaters.

It's a funny thing but if you study history carefully 9/10 times the demise of arrogant untouchable heroes is because of fraud and trickery.

Something like a backstab or a cowardly ambush.

Never ever has there been a hero who was defeated in battle fair and square by another noble villain, it was always a coward who defeated one.

Hence for the sake of my revenge, I decided to become a coward, the most despicable one, the most patient one and lie in wait for my opportunity.

For one thousand years I waited, for one thousand years I planned and one day the opportunity finally came knocking on my doorstep ". The turtle said as he locked eyes with Max and smiled.

" After those thousand years, I was a god then, one of the last ones who became a god before the universal queen took control over the tier 6 promotion and it was during this time that law and order started to be restored in the universe with alliances being made everyday.

At this point in history, Odin who was also a tier 6 god albeit at the very peak, had began carving his empire with his most loyal subordinates the ' Valkyrie ' and their commander and his first daughter ' Hella '

And it was this time that I finally had my first win ". The turtle said as Rhea opened her eyes wide in shock remembering the most brutal massacre in the history of the Norse empire.

" Y-you, you're Kremeth The Immortal? " Rhea asked her voice shaking as she remembered the bloody lessons of history

" It's been a long time since someone called me by that name, but no I'm no longer that person, he died a long time ago, I'm just a cowardly turtle now " Kremeth said as the red dragon instinctively moved away from him, contemplating her stay within his chambers once more.

" Why is the mighty dragon visibly scared of a turtle? " Max asked, his voice sounding hoarse from his throat drying up long ago at the mention of reincarnators.

The turtle smiled as he said " You can narrate this part, let's see how the history books remember me ".

Rhea raised her head proudly as she let some of her aura leak, but it was quickly suppressed by the turtle who never even broke his smile.

Rhea sighed, she realised if push came to shove she was fighting a really troublesome opponent and since the turtle had not displayed any hostility she decided to play his game as she retracted her aura and began narrating the story as she remembered it.

" It's the story of this very dungeon … " she said as she looked at Max

" The dungeon you see now is a out 1/1000 th part of what it used to be, but the other 999 parts were destroyed in that great battle and this is all that remains " Rhea said as she awaited the turtles confirmation before continuing forward

" Well it's a little untrue, it was about 600 times as big, the story you've heard is a little exaggerated" Kremeth said as he gestured for Rhea to continue.

" Hmmm, this place was a dragon stronghold since ancient times and the then dragon queen was pregnant with her child here when Odin invaded the dungeon with his full army much to the horror of the dragonkind through a previously unknown entrance.

The history books said that he was tricked into marching his army in here by Kremeth the wicked, but I'm not sure if that's entirely true ". Rhea said as she looked at Kremeth with suspicious eyes

" It's untrue, I had only manipulated the event behind the scenes so that Odin's pride was hurt when a drunk courtier challenged him that he did not have the balls to retrieve the dragon queens egg as his pet, but it was his own arrogance and gaudiness that forced him to take that challenge seriously and March his whole army in ". Kremeth said as he flashed his old yellow turtle teeth, it seemed like he was really enjoying the story now.

" I see " Rhea said intrigued as she shrugged her dragon shoulders and continued with the story just taking Kremeths words as interesting blabber, as she knew better than to trust it for the truth.

*********

( Meanwhile Asmodeus )

Asmodeus climbed the hill leading to Nancy's cave with extreme speed, he could smell victory at hand with the huge battle raging behind him amongst the dragon's.

" Hahaha, this mission will be a success…. " He said as he climbed to the small clearing outside the cave only to be horrified when he saw a dozen men with red armbands standing in front of the cave with weapons drawn.

" Who the fuck are you guys? " Asmodeus said sounding annoyed, however, a Red Hand group leader only kicked his face hard with his foot causing Asmodeus to fall down the hill he had just climbed as he said " We're the red-hand mercenary group, the bastard father's of you dark faction lot ".
