Chapter 579 Cap 577: Darkness Moves In The Black Empire(Chapter Preview)

Pov of a butler:

Today was another day like any other, I was serving my master who is a Duke of the Black Empire.

Today I went with him to a house I didn't know, this trip was last minute, he came here after receiving a message and when we entered we went straight to a room whose door was covered with complex magic circles.

There were three more people inside the room talking heatedly, it was a bald white-skinned man with three horns on his head, I recognized him as an important general who a few years ago was promoted as the leader of the Royal Guard.

The second was a very handsome Vampire with long blond hair, he had white skin and a horn on one side of his head, I recognized him as the finance minister of the Black Empire.

The last person was a black-skinned woman, with two horns on the sides of her head and curly brown hair, her fiery red eyes are a symbol of her identity known to all as the Imperial Mage who commands everything related to magic in the Black Empire, she is known as the Incarnation of Demonic Flames.

As we entered the three of them looked at my master and then towards me, when the door closed behind me I felt the master look at me differently for 1 second.

Then the four of them started talking about shocking topics, things that made my hands start to shake with nervousness.

Their meeting lasted a few hours before it ended, at the end the 4 looked at me, my master had a strange look as he approached me and put his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry to put you in this situation, thank you for serving me since the death of my old family friend." (Master)

"Sir Duke, I... master..." (I)

"Unfortunately no one can know what you heard here today, I'm too close to my goal to take any risks, goodbye." (master)

"< Puppet Master: Break >" (master)

I felt that I had no more control over my body and I started moving all my limbs at strange angles as my bones broke, in less than 5 seconds my vision was darkening and I heard the master's last words.

"When I am the Emperor, it will all be worth it..." (master)

Without listening to everything my mind falls into oblivion.

Pov Horn 1:

I was hiding in this place for 1 whole year in preparation for this moment, I was hiding inside the shadow of a monster statue.

This place is heavily guarded, getting in here took years, and then couldn't get out, but it was worth it for the information I gathered.

After all four traitors have left the room I step out of the shadow where I've been staying for so long and into the shadow of the twisted butler on the floor.

After an hour someone comes in and takes the body out of this house in the middle of nowhere, they throw the body into a fire pit where other bodies are but I had already moved into the shadow of the person who carried the body out.

I waited until that person went to sleep before stepping out of their shadow, by then I was far from that place when I return to my physical form after a long time.

Sigh

"How nice to breathe again, how nice to be able to move again." (I)

I go straight to a street stall and buy enough food to feed ten people, after eating it all I mingle with the people of a caravan heading back to the Imperial Capital.

"(Then he started acting up because my mom was finally gone, plus it looks like they lost contact with two subordinate groups.)" (I)

"(Looks like someone knows what they're doing, a young looking Vampire from the descriptions, this should serve as a distraction until I report this.)" (I)

Pov Zenos:

For two days I waited in that place together with Wolf Wolog, but that damn Wolf just lay there without saying anything, he completely ignored me.

I tried to talk to him several times, but he didn't seem to want to talk to me, he only opened his eyes when I made some food at the campfire.

The two days were incredibly boring for me, what I did to spend this time productively was to meditate on new types of spells and the different ways to use them.

When I look away and see a dark ray coming towards us I'm happy, that's because it was Ragnar coming back when he stopped in front of me a pale Diana was behind him.

I help Diana down, her eyes were rolling and she had no balance at all, I had to support her for a few seconds while she recovered.

"You were punctual as I expected." (I)

"You knew how long I could cross that distance, you must have calculated how long it would take before giving the order to go, right?" (Ragnar)

"I had a rough estimate, I wouldn't ask for anything I thought was impossible to do." (I)

After talking to Ragnar I focus on Diana, grab a bottle of water, and throw it in her face until I see her looking at me.

"Are you okay?" (I)

"Master... I'm fine..." (Diana)

"Pleased to meet the future Wolf God Champion Fenrir, I am Wolog the guide who agreed to escort you to the place of divine appointment." (Wolog)

"Friend or enemy...?" (Diana)

"It seems to be an ally, just as I said it seems to have come here for you." (I)

"Who sent you here?" (Diana)

"It was High Priestess Lara." (Wolog)

"My mother is here?" (Diana)

I give Diana time to recover before I leave, Diana and I went on top of Ragnar as we followed the Gray Wolf Wolog to the designated spot.

Along the way at a more comfortable speed, I was able to chat with Diana about how things were after I left, it seems like everything was going according to plan.

The place we were going to seems to be a sacred place on this continent called Moon Valley.

Our journey to this place took several days, but we still arrived early from what Wolog said.

During the whole trip, he didn't talk to me, he only talked to Diana and Ragnar while I was ignoring me, but he never said the reason for this different treatment.

When we arrived at Moon Valley we were greeted by various types of Wolves and many Beastmen from the Wolf Tribe, there was a crowd looking at Diana with respect.
