Chapter 304: Eternal Dragon of Night
"She cheated; she always cheats!" Tang Feng roared, fixing his clothing as he peered towards me.
"So this is what you look like." I half-heartedly said, observing the elderly man with long silver hair flowing to his back. He appeared muscular and a little handsome, or at least he did once upon a time. "You look better as a person than the flaming thing you first showed me in the Shadow Realm. I never did thank you for what you did, did I?"
Scuffing in response, Tang Feng slowly fell from the vortex arrive inches from my face, "And you appear to have grown; you appear no longer a simple human or demon."
Nodding in response, Nyx drew closer, sniffing me, "yeah, the scent of blood you had is gone. You seem... almost like a newborn." She muttered, a little perplexed as she poked my cheek.
"What I think is strange is the fact that Tang Feng holds the last name of Tang while his son holds Tian." I suddenly said, remembering the name of the man that once struck my wife.
"Not much of a mystery. I did that because I am the last of my family line. I wanted to keep the surname, but I did not want my child to be burdened by my sin." Tang Feng coldly stated, "But enough of me, what the hell kind of mess did you involve my Granddaughter in?"
"I am sure Nyx informed you; why ask the obvious?"
Narrowing his aged eyes, a pressure slowly began to grow upon my heart. Smiling for a second, a slight groan escaped from my lips as I felt all of my blood vessels begin to freeze.
"Boy, it would seem playing king has increased that arrogance of yours." Tang Feng muttered in a hollow flare of anger, "Do not presume The Nines is the only place that can torture."
Bleeding from my eyes, I merely cracked a laugh, "Try it, Tang Feng, I truly want to see the face of Sitri when he finds out you were the one who messed with his fun or maybe what Bael himself will do when he finds out his lifeline is being tormented? Do not threaten me. While my life is trivial, the lives it carries aren't. If I die, so does your family and everyone you have ever known."
"YOU—"
"Do not be baited, Tang Feng!" Nyx shouted, slapping the back of my head, "And you! Is this how you ask for help? Get your shit together, and stop making enemies!"
Chuckling, I scratched my head, "Force of habit, I seem to have a problem with people trying to push me into a corner." I joyfully said, already achieving my goal. Simply based upon the friendly way Nyx and Tang Feng spoke with one another, I knew she did not tell him everything.
"You truly are a devil." The Celestrial King voiced, "Knowing all the buttons to push to anger someone while also delivering the message, I am not be messed with."
Sensing the hold upon me vanish, I fixed my clothing, "But of course, it's as you said. I was playing king for a while. Now, then shall we get down to business?"
"Yes, but before that... How is Yura doing?" He asked in a worried tone, "I tried to seek her out, but all my attempts were blocked."
"She is alive but has experienced some torture, but nothing that has crossed a line."
"But why? If he wanted—"
"That is my secret, dear Grandfather," I said with a wink watching the elderly man blank out for a moment. "Anyway, what will it take for you to supply me with some material to reforge this dagger."
Flicking the crimson light from the blade, Grandfather shivered, taking the dagger before I could send it back to the Ring of Bael. "Son of a bitch! Nyx, you Night Demon! You were serious about that Eternal Dragon, weren't you!"
Nodding with a grim expression, Nyx clenched my shoulder, "I was, he will not be able to use it to its full abilities till he becomes a Mid God, but its abilities now will ensure both Yura's and his survival. Especially when Aldrich is out for his life."
Paling Tang Feng backed away, "The King... He... He is after you!"
"King? So he was a king, and I would assume from one of the Twelve Planes long ago. Great, not only is he the Ruler of this Plane, but he is also a King from another."
"Former," Tang Feng whispered, "He relinquished his title when he took over this land. The Realm of Blood needed a ruler, and Aldrich was selected to do so, or so that was what I was taught."
"I see, but what is your answer, Tang Feng!" I demanded to know, the information was exceptional, but the results to my question were even more beneficial.
"I cannot, "he shamefully said to my dismay, "Do you have any idea how valuable the body of an Eternal is? Not to mention the body of the Eternal Dragon of Night is? Were it not for Asmodeus, we would have never received it. This was what was given to us when we sided with the Nines. To simply give it you would be foolish even from my Granddaughter."
"I knew it, "Mimir abruptly announced, taking everyone by surprise."But what if we could offer you something even better?"
Shooting the head a deep glance, I frowned. There were many realms to Godhood, and only those that held the Title of Eternal were at the top. What the hell could we offer to compare to that? Why would Nyx as for that?
"Goddess of Night, place your palm upon Arsene and peer deep within." He said as my eyes widened in disbelief.
"Oh shit! I am definitely getting you a fucking body!" I shouted, wanting to kiss this man.
"Could this be why I felt no blood upon him?" Nyx muttered, placing a single finger upon the center of my brow. Feeling the flow of foreign energy run through me. The Goddess shivered, backing away as she, too, bowed.
"Your Highness," She said as tears slowly began to fall. "Congrats. Truly congrats, Adrienne will truly be joyful to know a New King has been born. Truly."
"Adrienne? As in Adrienne Di Lucarvis, the woman who taught Nyx about the Darkness?"
