章節 72: Chapter 72: Visiting India
India, Mumbai...
In the Velocity club, where everyone is having a good time, some dancing with the opposite gender and some trying to impress the pretty bartenders, most people—Mainly girls were looking in a certain direction.
"He is so handsome... I think he is a celebrity."
"Oh, look at those broad shoulders! I wish my boyfriend had a frame like that."
"I think I have seen him somewhere..."
"Should I try my luck tonight? Kyaa~ I can imagine "
"Shh.. you just came so shut up.. the last girl who approached him got so harshly rejected that she literally started crying, can't you see how no one dares to approach him?"
Hushed voices fell on the young man's ears but he didn't pay attention to them, he was immersed in his own thoughts.
Azaroth ran a hand through his fiery red hair as he stared pensively into the depths of his drink.
'Turn off the poison neutralization factor for another hour..' He gave a mental command/
|One of the aspects of the Hyper Regeneration- Poison neutralization is turned off for one more hour!|
|Note- It will get activated if the Host faces any serious threat to his life!|
Two pop-ups appeared in the floating screen in front of him but he was unbothered to even look at them.
It had been two days since his meeting with Rose.
Azaroth took a long sip of his drink, the smooth burn of the alcohol doing little to ease the turmoil in his mind.
"Should I do it... should I not...?" He muttered.
Azaroth's brow furrowed as he replayed the meeting in his mind.
The bartender approached, offering a refill, but Azaroth took the whole bottle.
After the meeting that day, he went to his villa and then to his underground facility.
The experiment with Yoora seemed to be working as her body did not turn into liquid or explode after injecting the serum.
That was the good part at least.
But she is now gone in a vegetative state and Azaroth is in India for the purpose regarding Yoora as well as to meet an old friend.
Siddharth Bachchan: The strongest hunter in India and one of the five National Level Hunters, ranking 5th in the world. (Due to Christopher being alive)
As the vessel of a Ruler and a National Level Hunter, he is pretty strong and the Guild master of the Asura Guild.
In the original story, Siddharth was described by 'Liu Zhigang' (China's top and world ranking-3rd due to Christopher being still alive)as someone with a strong savior complex, which led him to use his powers to protect people even when they never asked for it. He was also incredibly ambitious.
Powers-
Durable armored body like any other fragment of the brilliant light.
Ruler's Authority
Spiritual Body Manifestation
He is the least mentioned character in the story and Azaroth's friend...
How?
'Ah, we studied in the same school in the US before he awakened one day and his government approached him to come back to his home country.'
Ok, everyone is having a lot of doubts as to what is happening right now, right?
....
Time goes back 19 hours...
Azaroth had just come after his meeting with someone. He was looking a bit off.
"Umm, Mr. Azaroth, you all right?" Doctor Kim asked.
The were currently Inside a large room with high tech gadgets and a lot of monitors.
"Ah! Yes,it'ss nothing. What are her vitals are like?" He asked Miss Kim pointing towards the naked Yoora inside a human sized cilindrical glass tube filled with green liquid.
"She is doing fine. I'm quite shocked actually, this girl doesn't looked like something special but she is not yet dead after injecting the serum even after 5 hours is worth noting." Miss Kim reported.
"And how are her cells reacting to the serum?"
Miss Kim grabbed her tablet and showed Azaroth a screen, "You see, when I took her blood sample and added the serum this is what happened.."
Inside the screen, there was a magnified footage where Yoora's cells were being affected by the serum like constantly fighting it and trying to erase the virus but the virous got regenerated everytime.
"This batch of Sirum is an uprgade we were able to make from that young girl's blood samlpe that nearly managed to adapt before exploading but even after mixing the effects of mana stones from A-rank monsters, it is still lacking."
Azaroth was patiently listening, soon Miss Kim changed the screen to a news article.
"I think it needs a more powerful sourse cristal then these Mana stones" She said and Azaroth quirked a brow.
The news was 5 days old and the article said:
India's Asura Guild obtained a purple mana crystal from inside the A-rank gate.
Mr. Sidharth in the interview said that he is going to make a katana from this new stone and it is not for auction.
"I tried to search more before you came but there isn't more information regarding it and the fact that Mr. Sidharth has gone inside a red A-rank gate right now" Miss Kim continued and Azaroth understood.
"Stone not for sale huh?" Azaroth said and zoomed at the artical, looking at the stone's picture.
"If we can offer something more valuable than the stone, I believe they will be willing to trade it with us. I'll try to contact them as soon as the Guild Master emerges from the gate," Miss Kim suggested.
"There's no need for that; Yoora is asleep and Eun-Su and Mike will be here to help you. I think I'll go to India myself, meet an old friend, and maybe even visit the Taj Mahal," Azaroth chuckled.
...
After disembarking from the private jet, Azaroth was quickly ushered into a sleek, black luxury SUV from the airport runway so as to not cause an uproar with the crowd.
"Good Evening, Sir." The driver asked, somewhat nervous. The Guild assistant Soniya had told him the background of Azaroth and the fact that he is the old friend of Master Sidharth made his back sweat a bit.
"Mhm" Azaroth nodded, "You look tense, don't worry, I'm not someone who bullies others" He noticed the nervousness of the driver and realised that he was behaving in a different way than his 'usual' persona.
He gave the driver some reassuring words and then started looking out of the window.
The streets were lively and huge buildings of Mumbai were on each side. The vehicle swiftly navigated the bustling streets, heading towards a towering structure that dominated the cityscape—The Asura Guild.
As the SUV pulled up to the Asura Guild headquarters, Azaroth's eyes widened in awe. The building was an architectural marvel, shaped like a massive lotus flower and covered in a shimmering, reflective material that seemed to shift and dance in the sunlight.
"Hmm, these Indians sure have an eye for art."
Stepping out of the car, Azaroth was led through the lavish entrance and into a grand hall, where a young woman in glasses approached him.
"Ah hello, Mr. Morningstar! We're sorry to make you wait, sir," she said, bowing deeply. "Our Guild Master is currently clearing a dungeon gate, but I believe he'll be here within the next two hours. Please, make yourself comfortable."
"Hello to you too miss Soniya" Azaroth's goggles transformed into dark liquid that traveled under his collar and gave a charming smile that could bewitch any maiden.
"Ah, Sir.. you know my name.."
"Oh here" Azaroth pointed toward her big juicy left boob where a name tag was attached to her cloth.
"Ah!" She blushed in embarrassment and quickly led him to the lavish VIP waiting room.
He followed the woman into a spacious room, where a team of attentive maids had laid out an exquisite luncheon. The aromas wafting from the dishes made his mouth water, and he realized just how hungry he was as his mind was so busy from the past days that he had hardly eaten anything and just relayed on his regeneration factor.
The woman with big boobs and glasses hovered nearby, occasionally offering him refills or inquiring about his comfort.
One hour passed, then two, and still, there was no sign of the elusive Guild Master.
Then more minutes ticked by, stretching into more hours as Azaroth waited patiently chit chatting with Soniya about her life and job as the Guild's assistant.
He had already been shown around the impressive headquarters by the young woman but the longer he sat there, the more Soniya's and others restlessness began to grow.
Azaroth was the S-ranker who had higher mana density than Christopher Reeds, was a mage class but still could fight, had set a new record on A-rank dungeon clearance, was still infamous as a problem maker, and was the friend of their Guild Master.
The pressure was huge.
Azaroth could see the attendants and Soniya growing increasingly uneasy, their faces paling with each passing moment. It was clear they were worried about angering him with this unexplained delay.
"Don't worry miss Soniya, I think I should go for a walk or something, and don't worry, I know sometimes the Gate clearing takes time."
Sidharth had gone inside the red A-rank gate to actually train the new batch of promising hunters. And because of the fact that you can't contact with someone inside the gate, they can't even tell him to come quickly.
"Oh, yes, if you want to go somewhere, you can take the same driver, Sir. I'll inform you as soon as Master Bachchan arrives!"
...
And that brings us back to here, inside the bar where Azaroth is enjoying a drink while thinking of his meeting with Rose.
'Ah, it feels good to behave like an emo sometimes~'
