Chapter 12:
The Tale Of An Overlord
Chapter fourteen
Swoosh.
Adrian phased away.
"Is my story that interesting?" He questioned Old Lue who watched from a hill.
"Is that not what you wanted?" She asked.
"I don't want my story to be written for me, is all."
Boom
Energy burst from Adrian, pushing Lue of the hill.
"You sent them, didn't you?" Adrian stepped over the cliff, walking calmly to where Lue flew.
"The fact that I am warry of you does not mean, you can defeat me, only that you might." Her wings flapped as she spoke, neither anger nor rage in her voice.
"We will only tell once we fight." Adrian smiled.
"I did not send them." Lue said. " Besides, I thought you had a calmer head."
"You are right, I can tell you fear something, and that thing isn't me but a memory I bring back." Adrian's demeanor changed once more.
"I will tell you this, help me conquer the world, and I will help you."
"I am stronger than you, why should I?"
"You can tell that Valhalla is as strong as you right? If I wanted to be stronger all I have to do is fight and adapt."
"What exactly is your power, and what drives you?" Lue asked leading Adrian to raise a brow.
"Would you tell that to someone whose stance against you is unclear?" Adrian asked. He might not say it, but if Lue attacked him before he could summon, he would be dead for sure. His power was adaptation, and as his fight with the magic school's Dean showed him, if you hit with so much power that he couldn't adapt in time, he would lose.
"I am one of the nature lords, me being the matriarch of the fairy race branch here, I have been granted the power of synchronization and symphony with nature. I also possess the power of Command the highest form of the fairy innate whisper of the mistress." Was Lue's power.
"And you are certain I won't take advantage of what you just told me and attack you."
"I sensed your presence the first time I stepped into this county, but I am sure you were too weak at that point to realize it. So, one thing is for sure, you were not a monster from the start, then two, the power to summon rainbows due to fluctuations in emotions was just due to the abundance of magical energy within you. Three, you have the minimal records of interaction, it took me a lot to dig up information on you which means little interests you. You wanting to conquer the world is probably something that you feel would be interesting, you wouldn't play foul." Lue said.
"That's a really deep analysis of me." Adrian smiled. "Will you join me then?"
"If it was before, surely, but now a more established force has proposed same, one whose interests align with mine to the tooth."
"It is Vaciem, isn't it?" Adrian's gaze turned cold.
"You have hated him from the start, why?"
"Should I explain all my feelings to you now?"
"I should have known."
"Don't act like you know everything about me just because of the little you know." Adrian's aura shot up.
"Really young man? I didn't know disrespecting someone you like's grandmother has become the norm." Lue smiled. Adrian's aura plummeted. He looked at Lue quietly for a long while.
"I don't like people who want to control me, but you are different, you want to know me and I commend that. I am Adrian Wilbert son of Hillan Wilbert, I possess the power of magical adaption, and I have near infinite mana pool, I am half immortal but can die in battle. I want to rule the world because I don't want to be ruled." Adrian declared.
Rain fell.
Yet not a drop touched Adrian.
"The world will be at my fingertips, anyone one who goes against me shall be destroyed, there are no righteous neither are there devils. All that matters is power."
"What makes you think you are worthy to rule this world?" Lue asked.
"What makes anyone worthy?" Adrian phased away.
Lue's eyes bulged open " Please don't be another him." She shivered, remembering a nightmare.
….
"Why do you do this?" Lue asked staring at the male gyn before her. A crown adorned his head, and his regal robes had been stained by blood.
"The gyn were the powerhouse before you appeared, if not for that Monstrous Dragon we would have been wiped out. Now we have the power and we shall rule the worlds. Let those idiotic humans come, the Apes and all other original races. They shall be wiped out."
An ashen aura rose from the gyn and colored the sky.
The smell of burnt flesh and blood filled the air.
