Chapitre 65: It's a horse, sir. (II)
My head was spinning in rapidly, making the logic of Earth come crashing down in seconds.
"As Elves, we are not your friendly tree-hugging, animal-loving, kind beings. That was my ancestor's time. We were forced to change into who we are now. I barely believe they are such Elves still living to this day."
"I never said that," I said, not sure what else to say. I never heard this side of history before, and it interests me.
"Our kind are warriors, and we live mingled with the humans. We are not guardians but are observers to see how the world will fluctuate from human interaction, but it seems that the fate of this planet has been going down a darker path. No matter, our job is to control and destroy the excessive amount of human populations so Earth may continue to prosper."
I never heard of a dark elf like Adriel before. Then it hit me, they were like Phil. A message appeared in my head. It has been a while since I saw such a message for a long time.
Adriel Dawnbringer
Demon Lord of Earth.
Nickname: Angel of Death
He is not Satan, Samuel, or Lucifer. He is not a fallen Angel but a Demon Lord that watches over Earth. He is one of the few Demon Lords in the world of Earth. Demon Lord lifespan ranges from 1,500 years to 5,000 years on Earth. Their job is to watch over the human population and control the exponential birth rate of Earth.
You have two options:
1. Help cure the Demon Lord's sister ailing body. The chance of survival is high, and the opportunity of interacting with the Demon Lord in the future is more elevated. Possible death in the future.
2. Do not help and die in less than one second.
3. Kill the Demon Lord and die along with him from a fatal wound.
I gulped. God of Light, how can you do this to me. I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach. Why is it that I must meet the Demon Lord of this world too? I couldn't help the horrible fate that was placed before me. Once again, I was thrown with options in my life. Out of two of them, the option for my future all ended up in death for sure, while the first option gave me some breathing space.
How come even now on Earth, my death flag just raised up by another one. This time it was, even more, a greater threat than Phil himself. I mean seriously? What is with this wretched luck on Demon Lords? Does this mean that if I somehow go to another world that is neither Earth nor Torren, I'll meet up eventually with another Demon Lord? Really? I couldn't help but wanted to cry at this wretched Demon Lord encounter.
"I am positive that your blood can help my sister. I can tell you have a potent amount of magic inside you."
"But why can't you use your blood?"
"Weren't you listening. She has first blood."
"Yes, I did, but that does not answer why not yours?"
"Because my blood is tainted by dark magic. I can not share my blood with someone as a Holy Maiden."
A Holy Maiden, and she was the sister of the Demon Lord? This was mind-boggling.
"Ah.…that would make sense."
"The last known unicorn blood had disappeared a thousand years ago. Magical creatures in this world are dwindling every year, especially the Holy Creatures. They are honestly more dark creatures appearing around the world." Adriel let out a sigh, one could tell that something was very wrong with the way he said.
"That could be a problem."
"It is. Keeping the Dark Creatures under control is a lot more difficult. Humans have been hunting down the sacred creatures since the beginning of time. It makes me furious that they are no more." Adriel slammed his fist onto the table, making him very angry. It took awhile for him to settle down; eventually, he did. He got up and motioned her to follow. They made their way outside, where a car opened up for them to enter.
It was a very long limousine, which I couldn't help but look at with awe. The amount of luxury this car had would make anyone jealous. Eventually, the car arrived at their destination.
���Let's go." Adriel got out, and I followed right behind him. I couldn't help but stifle in a gasp. Wow. Nothing about his home screamed natural, but a blend between nature and metal. A giant white mansion that was possibly worth billions of dollars.
"You guys live quite a lifestyle."
"You like? This is just a sub-branch in Japan. We have more around the world, it keeps the human from snooping around. Camouflaging with the locals is the best strategy to live in this world. The old coots thinking about living in the forest are all idiots."
The concept of Earth Elves were shattering every second Adriel was speaking. It was just too mind-boggling to see them so different than what I had pictured in mind. Phil pales in comparison to these Elves on Earth. There was high tech.
"Come on, we don't get all day."
We continued to move forward through the large winding hallway and finally came to a large door. The door was pushed open by two elves in black suits. They had the stereotypical pointed ears, but their energy felt oppressive. Where were the fantastical elves that people fantasized about? Yea, they all look amazing, handsome, and pretty, but they are not the type that I would want to be around.
I honestly felt like my life was being threatened every second. This heavy air was so oppressive that it made it harder to breathe.
"Sophia." Adriel power walked towards Sophia, who was on the bed sleeping.
I couldn't help but stare at the beautiful young girl. Compared to Adriel, she was like the sun that would make any man stare with awe. Her blond hair matched with Adriel, but the most beautiful part of her was her eyes. The moment she woke up, the greyish blue eyes stare back at Adriel with a smile.
"Brother." Her voice whispered with happiness. She weakly got up and hugged him.
"Don't push yourself, Sophia," Adriel called out with concern.
"I'll be a fine brother. You don't have to be overprotective." She giggled.
"You must lean on your brother more, Sophia." Adriel gently pats her head and stroke it. "You can not allow yourself to push yourself too hard."
Sophia sighed. Then she shook her head. Pushing him aside, she turned towards me. "Is that who I think it is?"
Adriel turned around. "Yes, a dragon Sophia. There hasn't been a dragon for over five thousand years. The truthsayer spoke the truth. You will be saved, Sophia."
"I'm sorry for my rude brother." Sophia smacked Adriel. Adriel backed away, frowning at his sister. "I guess he ferried you away from your home. What is your name?"
"My name is Berry Drakel," I spoke.
"I'm glad to meet you, Berry. My name is Sophia. Thank you for coming out of your way to come here."
I walked over to her and couldn't help but feel at ease. The more and more I looked at her, I couldn't help but be at peace. Her whole aura was like a pool of light energy that cleansed the entire room. Even Adriel's dark energy was being stiffed by hers. She was like a divine light in this dark world.
Adriel clapped his hands. Four Elven doctors came in with medical equipment. They surrounded me and pushed me down onto the chair. I struggled, scowling at Adriel and the medics for roughly handling me.
"Brother, please don't be rude to our guest." Sophia pouted, trying to get up to stop him. She fell, causing Adriel to rush over in concern.
"Sophia."
"I am fine, brother." Sophia smacked her brother's hand. "Just don't be rude to our guest."
Adriel nodded and turned his head towards the doctor. They understood without him saying a word. They backed up, giving me space.
This time, only one doctor came up towards me. My right arm was exposed as the doctor stuck a needle in my arm. The process between Sophia and I was underway.
"She has a high amount of magical power, sir. It's possible to cure her." The doctors stated excitedly.
"Well, then get on with it."
"Yes, sir."
Both Sophia and I were hooked up to each other. The needle pierced through my skin without unconsciously scaling up. Instead, I felt a slow drain of energy being transferred over towards Sophia.
As time went on, the little bit of energy that I had was rapidly disappearing before me and into Sophia like an empty void. Alarmed, I pulled back, trying to pull the needle out of me. The doctor wanted to stop me, but each one was punched backward.
