Chapter 24: Not a Hero or Villain
"I am stepping outside after a month ahh....this feels so great, being with boys 24/7 is sure as hell.
Rock said that we will receive the quest details on the phone and we can choose whatever we want" Asher Eli searched his phone for any useful weapon shops near him, 'All I have to do is search near me not after, so I will be fine' with thought he walked.
"OHH!, What a coincidence?" a melodious voice came behind him and Eli turned to look at the two petite girls; one wearing a black full Maxi and the other one wearing Black Hanfu with a veil.
'No matter I look at this, it is definitely not a coincidence and...just how many different types of dresses are available' Eli thought while looking at two young girls walking toward him.
"Yeah, What a coincidence, right Adria?" Eli replied with a smile.
Adria's eyes twitched as she stood in front of him and said. "Yes, It's been a while, isn't it?" as she hold her hand for a shake.
Eli gladly shook her hand and said, "Yes, It is".
['See, he is still fine even though he touched my hand'] Adria sent a mental message to Lily.
['No, you are still wearing the gloves and what's with being informal? Come on, tell me what happen'] Lily replied while surprised as well as amused.
['Tsk']
"So, You lost again, Eli?" Adria asked Eli without hiding her happy face.
Eli's eyes twitched and said firmly, "No, I am not" and thought, 'Why she is happy about it?' and changed the subject,
"So, what are you doing here, Adria?"
"Well, I am here with a friend to sightseeing this place" Adria said as she pointed to Lily.
"Is that so?" Eli weirdly looked at Adria and finally looked at Lily and thought, 'Her friends are all a little weird, wearing masks...or maybe I should wear a mask also' Eli pondered.
Adria tried to hide her laugh and Lily looked at Eli with a blank expression as she scanned him from top to bottom.
['He is not that much Handsome though'] Lily
['We are not here for that and could you please focus on our task?'] Adria
"Then I will take my leave" Eli didn't want to disturb her like the last time so tried to leave them but,
"You are leaving us alone?" Adria shocked.
"Huh? You are sightseeing with your friend, right?" Eli puzzled.
"Sigh, If you act like that, then you will forever be single...oops" Adria act innocently as she thought about his very believable story.
Veins popped on Eli's forehead and sighed, "Just get to the point, What do you want?"
"Nothing much, We just wanted to speak with you" Adria also had enough teasing and went straight into the matter.
"We?" asked as Eli looked at Lily who just nodded.
"Fine then, let's go to the cafe" Eli invited them.
"Do you know the route?" Adria asked worriedly and this time she was really worried, you know...
*****
Inside the small cafe,
Eli looked at Lily and Adria while sipping the coffee and like that Adria and Lily also did the sipping their green tea. In order to avoid any drama, Adria put a spell around them so that no one could notice unless they are Emperor Rank cultivators.
"..."
"..."
"..."
'Is this a staring competition? Why are they looking at me like that?' Eli thought and finally spoke,
"My name is Eli, What is your name, Miss?" Eli politely introduced himself but Lily didn't answer instead Adria did,
"Her name is Lily"
"..."
Eli looked at Adria few seconds then returned to sipping his coffee and waited for them to tell him what they wanted from him.
"Eli, These questions may be irrelevant but answer honestly, Okay?" Adria spoke seriously.
Looking at her serious face, Eli really wanted to laugh, 'Her serious doesn't suit her well' but controlled himself and said "If that is what you want, then I will be honest"
Adria's lips twitched but just nodded and started asking questions,
"What do you think about Fallens?"
"Nothing" Eli said without hesitation.
"Ok, What about Floras?"
"Nothing" again Eli said without hesitation.
"ahh..then what about dragons?"
"Don't know"
Adria and Lily looked at each other, they clearly didn't hear any thoughts and it literally mean he said what he felt.
"Sigh, then what about humans?"
"Noth..." Eli now hesitated and thought for a second and said what he felt,
"sigh, From the previous questions to this question, I can only guess what are you getting at
'Deep breath'
I am not the hero who saves everyone while losing something important to me and I am not the villain who will kill anyone to get what I need while being hated by everyone.
So what I am saying is..."
"You don't care anything even if a child burned in front of you, Right?" Adria finished the sentence.
"...Yes, More or Less" Eli said solemnly, 'Yes, that is what I am'.
Adria started at Eli while Lily looked at Eli's lifeless eyes and for the first time Lily spoke indifferently, "Why?"
That's all she said but that words...no that voice literally put him in his darkest movement, his eyes were totally blacked and froze him; His whole started to turn black.
"WHAT THE..?" Adria didn't expect this.
"Why did you speak?
Even the Emperors should have to use Mana to block your Dark mana...but against a soulless" Adria looked at Lily with irritation and shock.
"I just want to test him, that's all" Lily still looking at Eli whose half-body turned black.
"What the fuck do you mean to test him? Why didn't you test those two fuckers?" Adria was furious.
Lily didn't mind Adria's words, just kept looking at Eli who was now almost black.
Adria tried to use her mana to block the Dark Mana flow but it didn't work. Frustrated, Adria just hoped he will be fine while biting her lips.
After a few seconds, Eli's whole body turned black like charcoal.
"sighs, I guess he is not...." Lily mumbled something.
Adria looked at Eli's body and turned to look at Lily who was mumbling something and asked, "Now what, My King?"
Lily then turned to look at Adria who had a bitter expression on her face, 'I guess, she is really interested in him' and turned to look at Eli.
"Hmm, He may able to return back if you change his race into yours" Lily said while tapping the table.
"Even so, He will nothing but a new person completely Newborn Fallen and he may not remember me or anything else" Adria said with an annoyed face.
"So what? You are interested in him, right? Why don't you mold him to your liking?" Lily said carefreely.
"What fuck is that mea..." Before Adria could finish, something surprised both of them.
'sshhhh'
