Chapter 330 322: Two Months' Time
?
A coronation ceremony was proposed, but I didn't like the sound of that.
"We sure made a good run through the vacation, huh?" Said Luka. "I was working the entire time, I didn't like it one bit."
"You got a medal," I said. "Fair trade."
"Tsk."
One last time, we found ourselves in the head capital of the Apollon county. The Fonias twins were still on their own thing under the eye of the king, but Hoya had promised me of their safety so I wasn't worried.
Hall Apollon.
It was an interesting name.
My initial plan was to take away the Hall name entirely. But thinking again, I didn't mind the Hall family that much. Getting rid of one family from my lineage was enough for now.
Luka, Albert and I were sitting in the office, the three fairies were playing around on the table, while the rest of the gang to their own thing before we left.
It was then that the door was knocked on.
"Come in."
The door swung open and stepped inside glasses.
"Lord Dark Moon, were you looking for me?"
"I was," I nodded.
"Hm? What's up?" Asked Albert.
Sighing, I tapped my desk and spoke out.
There were a lot of things to do.
"Luka you're from the confederacy, right?"
"Yup. Noa and Adelia too."
"That you're heroes of a different country now you're to be put on a high pedestal by the confederacy. They are soft natured, so that should be enough. Albert Pinot Rizzler has covered the far west for us. With Schwarz in my hands and the Empire in strong ties with us, and lastly the Academy City that kinda rules over the whole of the Kingdom of Sages."
What we had was.
"A grip over half of this continent. Now what remains is the east."
If I was to unite the world, then just the continent wasn't going to be enough. I also had to get to hell and heaven and then Alfheim.
"Tell me Albert, what's next in the story?"
Albert crossed his arms and Luka spoke up instead.
"We're going to have the yearly tournament in the academy city… followed by a field study for a month."
I looked at glasses.
"About two months, prepare things here and move into the East. We're slowly going to take over that place as well."
Glasses grinned.
"This is the most the Dark Moon has ever flourished, my lord. We already have a member from the east, so it should be easier."
A member?
"We call him the Secondth Whip. He's not here now, but he'll love to serve you!"
Ah fuck, another man who wanted to kill me huh?
Whatever.
"Make sure you find as much about the history of that place as you can. Ancient tomes, books, slabs, anything and everything that can be called ancient, I want information on."
Glasses nodded.
"Understood, I'll get to it right away."
Glasses bowed and walked out.
In exactly two months, we were going to begin sinking into the main dish.
The other two in the room grinned and slapped their hands together.
"Exciting," said Luka.
"You're planning for more, right? I want in on everything."
"Of course, I won't be able to handle any of this without you guys."
Others had become my strength.
They both grinned, especially Luka. We had come a long way from what we were like in the beginning.
"You know, Eugene Hall," said Luka. "I brushed your words off as a joke a while back, but if I ever need to now."
He raised his right hand in front of me.
"I'll get rid of a finger to match with you."
Though his phrasing was awkward, his intentions were conveyed.
He was more than willing to cut off a finger to help me.
"Hah brat. Save it for someone else. You'll need ten years to match me."
It was then, the door opened up.
"Young Master," Keith was on the other side. "They are calling for you there."
He tilted his head as he spoke.
It seemed Bathym had called.
"You two, let's get ready to go back to the academy."
I shuffled out of the desk and jumped down the window instead of going through with them. A few more jumps and I was again at the other side of the city.
The small clearing in the forest that was blocked off was strangely dark.
Dark?
"What the heck, did someone go in?"
I had placed the Shadow Ender on guard here. I quickly hopped over the fence and dived inside, the shadows swallowing me all around.
In a rush, I went further ahead and there sat a little girl.
Around her were small shadows hopping and jumping around.
"Oh?" The girl said as she saw me. "OHHH!!! It's big brooo!"
"Nina?"
"Yessir! Fifteen year old Nina reporting for duty!"
The shadow ender around her kept sticking its tongue out and rubbing its head around her feet as she walked over.
"I am surprised you recognized her."
"No one else calls me big bro so obnoxiously." Sighing I turned toward Nina and patted her head. "Skipping class again?"
"Nope! I got out early. When did you come back? I didn't know! You're a count now, right? So will you like, behead me or something?"
"Of course not, you're the last person I will behead."
The shadow ender was strangely close to her.
"Say Nina, can you do me a favor for the next few months?"
"What what?"
"Come here and play with this pup every now and then, and make sure no one goes deeper into the forest."
"Hm, well sure. I'll take some payment though."
"Why not, blackmail the mayor using my name." I ruffled her hair one last time and walked away. "See ya."
"Already? Rude much!?"
I kept waving my hands until she was out of earshot. The shadows around me slowly started to fade away and I was out into the land of the demons.
Standing right at the front, was Demon Lord Bathym.
