Chapter 946 This Lady Will Play With You

Chapter 946 This Lady Will Play With You

Eiko kissed her Papa's reddened cheek in order to make it feel better.

Currently, the Half-Elf and his guests were having some tea on the balcony of his Guild Headquarters.

They were being served by the Maids who worked under General Garret's family, and for some reason, these maids had amused smiles on their faces.

Aur calmly drank his tea, and he was seated on the Half-Elf's right side.

Valerie sat on his left side and was even hand-feeding Lux a cookie, which the latter accepted.

Aurora watched this scene with great interest because this was the first time she had seen something like this.

Her father had more than one wife, but all of them called each other sister and got along well with each other.

But the pink-haired beauty's gaze would shift to Aur from time to time. She didn't understand why he was acting that way, but for some reason, Aurora could feel that something was amiss with the handsome Dragon Prince, who seemed to be seething from within.

"Um, I would like to introduce our guest to all of you," Lux said after he finished eating the cookie that Valerie had given him. "Her name is Aurora, and she came from Agartha.

"Aurora, this is Valerie, and this is Prince Aur from the Crystal Palace. The two side characters over there are Ali and Ari. Don't worry, they don't bite."

"Hoh~ side characters?" Ali arched an eyebrow. "I'm not getting paid enough for this."

"Don't bite?" Ari smiled mischievously before looking down at the Half-Elf's midsection. "Lux, it seems that you like to play with fire. Worry not, this lady will gladly play with you."

Lux ignored the two side characters and shifted his attention to Aurora. "I hope that you will be good friends with them."

Valerie looked at Aurora with a curious gaze, while Aur pretended not to care. Even so, if one looked closely, they would notice that he would give Aurora side glances from time to time.

"I also hope to be good friends with them," Aurora replied with a smile.

"Oh! A friend!" Valerie became excited. "You'll be one of my first friends aside from Lux. I hope we get along!"

Valerie extended her hand for a handshake, which Aurora gladly accepted.

"Do you want to explore Vesperia City?" Valerie asked. "It's the city over there."

Aurora glanced in the direction where Valerie was pointing and nodded her head in understanding.

"Can I?" Aurora asked as she looked at Lux.

"Of course," Lux replied.

Aurora smiled and nodded her head. "I want to see the city."

"Great! Let's go!" Valerie stood up and walked towards Aurora, grabbing her hand.

Truth be told, Valerie didn't have any girl friends that were around her age. Ali and Ari were her servants, and while she didn't treat them as friends, she viewed them as family.

However, Aurora was different. She had a feeling that Lux cared about her, so she wanted to know more about her as well.

"We're going as well," Ali stated. "Thank you for the snack."

"Hehehe, I'll bite you later, Lux." Ari smirked as she waved her hand at the Half-Elf before following her Mistress.

Aur placed his cup on the table and eyed the Half-Elf beside him.

"Aren't you going with them?" Aur asked.

"I'll observe from a distance," Lux replied. "I already told you that Aurora is Misfortune's Beloved. I want to better understand how her bad luck works."

When they were in the Inner Sanctum, Aurora "slipped" over nothing and leaned on the barrier holding the Golden-Eyed Naga, making it crack.

She had done the same with the barrier that held the Blood Ogre, causing it to break as well.

Truth be told, Lux was constantly anxious about Aurora's safety. The only reason why he wasn't overly anxious was due to the fact that Zane and Zeke were always with her. As long as the two Little Skeletons were with her, things would probably be fine.

"Lucky her," Aur stated.

Lux scratched his head because he didn't understand why Aur kept on saying that Aurora was lucky.

Since he didn't want to argue, he secretly followed behind the four girls, who were making their way towards the Teleportation Gate.

Aur, who had nothing to do, decided to follow as well.

Now that he had seen the lady that the Half-Elf had strived hard to save, he wanted to know just how close her relationship was with Lux.

City of Vesperia…

Similar to what happened in the City of Shambhala, Aurora looked around like a country bumpkin. Everything was simply new to her.

Aside from the Dragon Borns, there were no other races inside the city, which made the locals look at Aurora as if she were a rare creature.

The four girls hadn't walked far when suddenly, the sky suddenly went dark.

At first, they thought that a cloud was just blocking the sky, but when they looked up, they saw a swarm of black birds that were flying above their heads.

Suddenly, all of these birds defecated at the same time, dropping their payload over the four girls, who were walking close to each other.

Zane and Zeke, who was beside Aurora, immediately raised their hands and conjured an umbrella that was made up entirely of bones.

The sound of something pelting on top of it reverberated in the surroundings, as the Dragon Borns, who were also within the range of the Carpet Bombers, dodged to the side.

Ali and Ari sighed and gave the two little skeletons a thumbs up.

Zane and Zeke did the same, making the two girls giggle.

However, it was at that moment that they heard a shout coming from the other side of the street.

"Get out of the way! The pigs have gotten loose!" a fat Dragon Born shouted, informing everyone of the danger that they were in.

Over a dozen Black Pigs that were around two meters tall charged down the street, making everyone make a path for them.

Once again, Zane and Zeke stood in front of Aurora and used their bone umbrella, which was covered with bird poop, as a shield to protect the ladies from the stampede.

The sound of bone being crushed spread in the surroundings, as the Black Pigs slammed into it.

Fortunately, even though cracks appeared in the Umbrella's surface, it held and stopped the pigs from advancing any further.

As the four ladies continued to walk through the city, several "accidents" happened. Pots of flowers, which were placed near the tops of houses, fell towards the pink-haired beauty who was oblivious to what was happening.

Fortunately, Zane and Zeke were there to handle everything, preventing anything from hurting Aurora and the girls.

Aurora wasn't stupid and soon realized what was happening. Because of this, she apologized to Valerie, Ali, and Ari, and decided to cut their trip shorter than expected.

However, the series of accidents didn't stop as they walked back to the Teleportation Gate, making Lux and Aur, who were watching from a safe distance, speechless.

"Are you sure bringing her here was a good idea?" Aur asked.

"D-Don't worry," Lux replied. "As long as Zane and Zeke are with her, things will be fine."

Aur scoffed but he didn't say anything else.

From the tone of Lux's voice, he understood that the Half-Elf had no intention of getting rid of the pink-haired beauty, who was the carrier of bad luck.

In the deepest layer of the Abyss…

Within this ever-expanding space where neither demons nor devils dared to tread.

At the center of it all, a creature of unimaginable size slept, surrounded by countless angels singing a lullaby and playing a soothing tune with their instruments, preventing this primordial existence from waking up.

This being was an Outer God, the oldest of them all and also the most powerful.

It was so powerful that the demons, devils, and angels all agreed that it was best for it to remain asleep for eternity.

This creature was known by many names.

The Blind Idiot God.

Nuclear Chaos.

Daemon Sultan.

The Deep Dark

The Cold One, and many other names that had been passed down since time immemorial.

Of course, this being had a name, and those who knew simply called it…

Azathoth.

It was said that the moment it woke up… all creatures would bow to its will or be destroyed completely.

Since all the angels were busy doing their sacred duty, they didn't notice that somewhere in the Abyss, a man… or perhaps someone that used to be a man, was looking at the sleeping Outer God with a determined look on his face.

In his hand, a Golden Lion Figurine could be seen, and a faint smile hung on his lips.

"Soon," the being who used to be a man said softly.

He didn't say anything else before he, too, closed his eyes.

What he needed was an opportunity, and when that opportunity came…

All of creation would bow to his will.
