Chapter 303 Eating the heart of darkness
10 minutes ago
As Rio turned his appearance back to Shiva, his figure disappeared in a spatial gate and appeared above the barrier covering the auction venue.
Noticing the crowd of reporters and awakeners circling around in a hurry, it was clear that someone had already noticed the abnormality here and spread the news.
'The academy doesn't care about any attacks happening outside their premises.' Shiva calculated 'So the only ones who can make a move now are either those from the adventurer guild, Nishkal family or the Sentinels.' He thought and started making some plans.
'How much time do I have?' He asked his system.
[This barrier, as any other set by Evil's Scion has several failsafes in place. If anyone tried to bulldoze it or forcefully chose to break it or enter in, they'd end up triggering the line of nether explosive cards and rune traps set up inside. Which could cause quite a commotion.]
[And since this venue is just where the crowd and populace is highly gathered. If the blasts happened, anyone within a mile can say goodbye to their mana for at least a few days if the SS rank awakeners or S rank healers don't make a move.]
'Skip the explanation and just give me the time.' Shiva said, hearing the lengthy lines which he was already aware of.
[10 minutes. 15 at best, if they're lazy and take it lightly.]
'Okay, send me in.' Shiva said and his ever so obedient system happily took away his points and teleported him directly inside the auction venue without breaking the barrier.
No one noticed his presence, not even the gods watching this play with their perfect eyes. Obviously the system was very happy to help in return for rich points.
Shiva's figure appeared directly over the room where he could see Leon fighting with Aldrch and beating the crap out of him.
To be honest he wanted to record Leon killing or crippling Aldrich so he can use that to pull Aldrich's grandpa out. And manipulate him so he can later try to kill Leon in anger, and in result bring some of the Apollo's bigger secret cards out in light, but the lady luck still favored the heavenly child it seems, as Aldrich's guards appeared out of nowhere and saved him in time.
Shaking his head, Shiva ignored both of them and rushed at the prince and his entourage who were busy fighting with the traitor of temples Dreyfus Finch, the spy of Evil's Scion.
Their fight wasn't looking too good in a favor for the prince and his gang, as the limit rank villain was very decisive in his killings. He had already poisoned the other priests and was killing them without any hesitation for their past connection.
"Block him as I get Edward out." Alfred said to his minions, some were his classmates attending the auction too, while some were his guards. They all nodded their heads and divided into two groups, one covered Alfred while the other went to intercept the villain.
Alfred moved towards Edward, who was covered in an aura of flame that kept oozing out of him. Keeping him safe from the killer.
It was probably a life saving artifact acting as a shield, and knowing Edward's background, Dreyfus didn't waste his time on trying to break it. Fearing it might end up triggering some other hidden cards of the Sinclair's heir out.
After all, all the elite families were rich as fuck, since where the nobles had to spend their money to guard and guide their own territories, elites only needed to focus on making money and stand upon business.
This is why Dreyfus ignored the heir and let poison take its course, after all if Edward died from poison then it's good. And if he didn't then Dreyfus can just avoid any sneak attack and think about killing him later on.
"Your blood will be the sacrifice for my cause." Dreyfus said as he ripped out the heart from one of the young mage students of darkness element.
Holding it over his face, Dreyfus crushed it with his hand and let the blood fall all over his face.
He closed his eyes as he tried to savor this warm feeling and when the blood finally stopped dripping over his face, he could just lick his lips and try to remember the warm feeling.
He used a flame spell to cook the heart and then started eating it whole next without hesitation.
He was a cannibalistic psycopath through and through, and mages of darkness were his favorite delicacy.
"That hits the spot." he said, wiping the smirk off his face, along with all the blood and cruelty.
A black line formed over his face for a second but then disappeared as if merged into his skin. His mana and control of his element had increased a little again.
"Anyone else who's got dark magic. Don't be scared, I'm already full _" He started speaking looking at the students who were starting to surround him. Seeing that no one came forward to say anything funny, he further added. "So, I'll save you for later."
As his words finished he dashed at the student who looked like a porter or a healer covered in defensive artifacts, supporting his other friends from the back.
But sadly his life got cut short as he failed to save himself.
One by one, Dreyfus was killing the students, though not eating their hearts anymore, but still just as cruel. He literally chopped off one guy's hand and then slapped his face with it.
Talk about style.
Dreyfus was busy on his massacre, enjoying the smell of fear and shaking bodies of his enemies as the signs of death engulfed their senses before light of life disappeared from their sockets, when Shiva appeared to stop him all of a sudden.
Dreyfus looked at the black haired man holding his hand and started smirking instead of getting angry over this interruption. Cause he could feel the oozing mana of darkness from him, and __ that for him was a delicacy.
"Hehehe looks like a dessert." He said while licking his lips to stop his drooling expression.
But before he could even make a move, Shiva gave a command to his system, and that_ was it.
With a swoosh sound left behind, Dreyfus's figure disappeared from that place.
"Where am I?" Dreyfus said as he looked around in darkness, trying to see where he was. "Did he teleport me out, but the spatial patterns were locked..."
As he was worrying over his position he heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him. Warily he raised his hands to bring out his spells and artifacts to fight, but found that he couldn't feel any mana on him. Looking down carefully he noticed various patterns of formations and runes formed all over the walls of the room he was in.
"Finally there's someone I can beat too." A voice came to dreyfus's ears, as he saw a man walking inside.
"I'm gonna enjoy breaking you." Dante said looking at the look of fear on this new prisoner of Eclipse.
For the past month he's been getting tortured and trained under those two psychos Nirdayi and Cersei nonstop, now finally he has someone on whom he can take his anger out too.
"You've got a bad luck bitch. You're toast." He said with a sadistic smirk gracing his bearded face, as he clenched his fist and gave a solid punch to Dreyfus's face that knocked two of his teeth out in one hit.
