Nightin followed Orochi as they entered teleportation arrays which overlapped each other, all of them were in different locations as they slowly made their way up to the hidden base of the Evil Force in one of the Overlord realms created by the Evil Overlord single handedly.
It was evident that many precautions were taken in just the forming of the Overlord realms alone, just to get to the Overlord realms required them to traverse through tens of realms and hundreds of teleportation array.
It was a tedious process, but Orochi was able to teleport to the next teleportation array every time, resulting in the time they take to arrive getting shorten greatly.
Along the way, Nightin finally plucked up the courage to ask Orochi "Evil Lord Orochi, just what is it that you expect of me?"
Orochi merely brushed off his question with a smile as he asked the one behind Nightin "What do you think?"
Infernal who was fiddling about with his spear was surprised by this abrupt question, but he still placed his spear aside and processed the question in his mind.
Nightin in the meantime turned towards Infernal, expecting the desired answer from him who had once challenged him, his knowledge of the Evil Force should be enough for him to come up with an answer.
After a few moments had passed, Infernal finally came up with his conclusion and replied "This is only my own deductions, but aside from the surprising fact that both you and the Evil Overlord share the same ambition for the entire cultivation universe, it's because you were also once a victim of the cruelty he faced."
"Two different experiences and while his was much worse, but you being able to comprehend the Samsara law which revolves around cycles of reincarnation, coupling the law of Life and Death which represents the two sided humanity, I think that's what caught the Evil Lord attention."
The sound of clapping could be heard as Orochi once again smiled and said "Not bad, it isn't simple to come up with such deductions. As expected from someone who has followed Casper since young."
Hearing the name Casper, Nightin's body froze as his name leaked out from his mouth mixed in with the killing intent which he has suppressed within him over the twenty years.
"You know of Casper's great name?" Orochi asked amusingly as they entered the last teleportation array and arrived at their destination.
The whole realm itself was of a purplish black colour mainly and yet the beauty of nature the bustling streets around here makes people wonder if they're in hell or heaven.
That was the view of the world which Orochi had shown Nightin while they were in the teleportation tunnel as he filled in a few more details about their world.
In the Evil realm, killing is strictly prohibited and one's fate for murdering someone, would be to have their souls extracted as nourishment for the victim's family, if that person was always alone for as far back as they can trace, the soul would be kept in an container for future usage in desperate times.
It may seem way too cruel of an punishment, but it was a must to uphold the strict disciple and law to prevent anyone from falling prey to unwanted losses, it would cause grieve for many and would result in anger which leads to more trouble and a countinuous chain.
When they descended upon the Evil realm, what awaited them was the entrance of a castle as two guards clad in red armor stood there, their facial features were being blocked off by a helmet with only their eyes visible.
They had a sword sheathed at the side and they were standing in a strict posture, their hands were kept to the side as they stood upright and faced the front.
They weren't releasing any pressure towards Nightin, but he understood that it's only because of Orochi who was beside him.
"The Blooded guards pays respect to Evil Lord Orochi!" The two guards half kneeled towards him as they cupped their hands, respect was reflected in their eyes which identifies them as humans.
"Rise." Orochi had kept the elegant side of himself, the current him was giving off a intimidating aura and he was... Cold.
His face didn't show any expressions and the aura he was giving off right now, it made him feel so distant to Nightin, maybe this was the disguise he used to protect himself from those below him, if he were to act as a gentleman who likes to fool around, how would he be in command of those under him.
The two guards got up on their feet and one of them asked politely "Evil Lord Orochi, may I know the reason for your sudden uninvited visit?"
"It's nothing much, just pass a message to the Evil Overlord and inform him that I have brought along someone who he might be interested in."
The guard paused for a moment as he looked at Nightin and asked "Why will the Evil Overlord be interested in such a young man? His looks may be good but they definitely aren't the best out there and since..."
"As a subject." Orochi replied coldly as the harshness in his tone made the guard keep shut and do as instructed.
While one of the guards was away to deliver the message, laughter sounded off from behind them as a woman with wavy blue hair appeared from behind them.
Her eye was of the oceanic blue as she commented "Wow wow wow, who would have expected Orochi who likes to fool around to bring back such a young lad this time."
Ignoring Orochi who was signalling her to not fool around in front of a guard, she asked Nightin in an amusing manner "Hey brat, why don't you follow me instead?"
Nightin looked at her and said coldly "I'm not interested in that offer of yours." His Life and Death sword appeared from behind him ad they flew around his back.
"Did some stinky brat just scold me? Even father wouldn't do that to me! Orochi, I expect an apology from him!"
"That's enough Gwen, you shouldn't be craving for such a young boy, you're way beyond his ears." Orochi teases as he took out a dice and rolled it onto the ground.
The dice rolled on the ground as a force field spread open, cutting off the guard from them as the jade snake coiling around Orochi hand opened its eyes for the first time.
Sorry if the chapters don't come that frequently anymore as I'll be having lessons from today onwards, hope y'all will understand.
