BXBX NOVEL Chapter 369 - New Ally
In a large structure in the underworld, a large horned figure sat within his office with an angry expression as he called his superior.
"Brother, that daughter of yours is helpless. I sent her to complete a simple mission of bringing back a soul and she still is yet to return after all this time. We are already running low on workers with so many deaths occurring on all the plains and intersections, and yet she can waste so much time" complained the figure.
"Relax, she is still young and is probably just exploring that human mortal realm. It is quite interesting and the way they live is quite fun to observe. I am sure she will return soon and just scold her when she does, since you are her uncle and boss. She had the potential to surpass us all and take the Horned Death God Clan to the level that it was once was at before it began declining, so try your best to nurture her. For now, I am extremely busy and I will leave her in your care" answered the man before ending the call.
"Damn it, that bastard is just as annoying to deal with as his daughter. Let\'s just hope she isn\'t in danger as, although she is still young and developing, she is the hope of our clan" said the figure to himself.
After spending over an hour talking to the Death Wraith, Adam knew that she needed to go after everything that she had told him about her uncle being her boss and her father being the leader of a Death God Clan.
She also mentioned that the clan was declining and losing power, but they all saw her as the hope since she had the original Soul Weapon of the ancestor of the Horned Death God Clan.
It was known as the Death God Horns and had rare and infinite capabilities, potential and power from what the legends stated, but her horns weren\'t even fully grown yet and she was unable to unleash a single drop of its power.
Seeing how much she was speaking, Adam also spoke about himself and was very honest about most things and mentioned a lot of his life apart from anything to do with the dungeon, showing her that he also went through many struggles.
One thing she mentioned that caught Adam off guard, was that they were looking for whatever Soul Creature or Soul Cultivator it was that was destroying all the evil and wandering souls, along with all the other soul creatures that didn\'t belong in the land of the living.
She noticed that and realised that it must have been him who was doing it, but instead of being angry about it, she seemed grateful.
"You have been a big help to the underworld and there are 64 of these Mortal Realms on the positive side of the universe along with the other side and all the intersections and plains. There is so much the underworld has to oversee and take care of, making it hard for us to cope" she said before instantly regretting it.
She was becoming too comfortable with a mere mortal human and revealing too much, but looking at his expression that had stayed relatively calm the entire time, she was shocked.
"Don\'t worry, I know about the universe and the Immortal Plains. I know more than most and we are friends, so if I tell you something secret, I am sure you won\'t divulge it to others, and the same applies with whatever you tell me" reassured her Adam.
She was quite clumsy, naive and innocent, but she was kind, revealed a lot to Adam and had great potential, making her the perfect ally for Adam and he was sure that he could trust someone with such a character.
Her character reminded him slightly of that of Chase and after he said that they were friends, she was baffled.
"Friends. We are friends. I have never had a friend before" she said.
She knew and understood what the word meant, since Death Wraiths were taught all the languages of the world so that they were able to communicate with any creature and could always gather information for the Death Corps.
However, it was a concept that was quite foreign to those in the underworld who would live most of their lives serving the Death Corps, looking up to their superiors and being allied with their peers.
"Yes, otherwise why would I talk to you for this long and trust you with some of my secrets. Friends help and trust each other and can rely on each other in times of need"
"Then, from here on out we are friends," she said with a smile on her face.
If Adam wasn\'t the first human that she came across, it would be very easy to manipulate and use such an innocent and naive Death Wraith, but that went against Adam\'s character.
"It is clear that you need to go, but since we are now friends, I will give you some advice," said Adam, genuinely wanting to help her and make a capable ally, who had great future potential, just like him.
"We have been talking this entire time very casually and you are very relaxed, but I have to be serious now and you might think I sound like your uncle, who is hard on you, but you need to hear this" stated Adam with a stern expression.
"You divulged information about the underworld and your life to a random human, who could use that information or use you, because you are very naive. If I had bad intentions, you would have caused great danger and risk to yourself and the underworld. Along with that, you complain too much and are too immature"
"Joking, relaxing and having fun with friends is fine. However, when it\'s time to be serious and get things done, you must be ready and right now, you are wasting your potential"
Adam\'s words were stern and hard to swallow, but coming from a new person that was outside of her family and she also regarded as a friend, it resonated with her much more.
