BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154 - Impossible Task
Everyone was surprised, the only who had a relaxed face was Perseus. Funny enough, the most nervous of all of them was no other than Leviathan himself.
"He… is the king of the Jubila forest… The dragon Leviathan… right?" Asked Alfonso.
He turned to Aina and Cerberus.
"He is right?" Asked once again Alfonso.
Is was quite understandable why he was so… skeptical, on his mind, a DRAGON was a thing for legends, of course, he had already met the "gods"… but!
One thing was meeting a god that looked like a human and one completely different was meeting A Dragon.
However…
"To me, he looks like a frightened cat…" Though Alfonso.
Cerberus facepalmed.
"Unfortunately, he is…" Said Cerberus.
"Old man! At least, had some dignity! God!" Shouted Aina.
"What old man!? We are almost the same age, you! young lover!" Said Leviathan.
"WHAT!? Said that again motherfucker, I will fight you to death!" Said Aina.
"Well… its true" Though the rest of the Amazons.
"Enough, say your business, Dragon, I have little time to waste" Said Perseus.
When Perseus talked everyone keep quiet, Levithan was trembling, however, he managed to gather some courage, he walked towards Perseus in a slow…
SLOWWWW… Pace.
However, every time he took a step, he always looked at Alfonso back, like asking for help.
"Sigh…"
Alfonso couldn\'t watch this anymore.
It was like he was bullying this poor old man!
He wasn\'t that old though!
"Your business is with me right?" Said Alfonso.
Leviathan looked at Alfonso like he was look at his savior.
"RIGHT! That\'s right, surely, this young lord is filled with wisdom! As you say, this little one had something to ask this young lord… no …. This young king!" Said the ass kissing dragon.
Even Alfonso felt ashamed by this man…
"Really? Young king? Even sellers will blush in front of you!" Though Alfonso.
"Well, what do you want?" Asked Alfonso.
"Hehe, its nothing too serious… its just something insignificant to such to the almighty young hero, even your father was trash in front of my lord… no! my god-"
"STOP, STOP! JUST SAY IT ALREADY!" Shouted Alfonso.
The almighty dragon looked at Perseus with a frightening look, he turned back to Alfonso and say.
"Just…a…little…bit…of…blood" Murmured Leviathan.
"What?" Said Alfonso.
"A…bit…of…blood" Said Leviathan.
In that instant, before anyone could say anything, Perseus had already grabbed the collar of Leviathan.
"Die" Said Perseus.
"Wait! Please wait!" Said the frightened Leviathan.
"What do you mean by blood?" Asked Alfonso.
"Well… you see… when I was watching your fight before, I saw that you used… a specific kind of power… the power of life… you know… the one in your left leg, I, I just want some blood of your left leg… just a tiny bit will do!" Said Leviathan.
"Why do you want it?" Asked Alfonso.
"Simple, because he is dying" Answer Perseus.
"Dying?" Asked Alfonso.
"You can\'t feel it because you are too weak, however, his soul power is infected by the pestilence of death, he has a couple of years more at beast" Said Perseus.
Leviathan had a grave expression.
"I have been searching a lot about the power of life, in my research, I tried every method I know, the best method I found was to feed myself with life energy from the living, that\'s why, I woke up once a year and go to through the jungle and hunt life energy" Said Leviathan.
"That\'s why the horde existed!" Alfonso realized.
"However, a few months ago, my son, Drako, learned about my condition, and saw a chance, that\'s why everything happened" Said Levithan.
"I don\'t understand, why didn\'t you come to us, Amazons, we could have though you Oversoul, which is the epitome of energy, natural soul power!" Said Aina.
"You are wrong, Oversoul isn\'t just natural soul power… I think that you also know what true lies when someone use Oversoul right?" Said Leviathan while looking at Alfonso.
Alfonso looked at Aina and nodded.
"Oversoul is a contract between one and the goddess of earth, when the pact is formed, your soul becomes one with nature, naturally, that means that, when time comes to die, you will return to nature, your soul would never be able to reincarnate and you will wander the earth as particles of soul power that are only waiting for someone to absorb them and, after that, your existence will disappear from this reality… forever" Said Alfonso with sadness.
After gaining the power from Gaia, he somehow figures out things out, especially because his contract with Gaia was a little different from the Amazons, he wouldn\'t tell them that though.
"You mean that… when we die… we will become food from someone else?" Asked Ainai.
"I am afraid…" Said Alfonso.
Aina stood there, motionless. The other Amazons weren\'t better.
"That\'s why, I want your blood, there is something on your left leg, something that only gods have… I can sense that your leg, has the same condition as me, however, there something in your leg that is giving such incredible live soul power, that is keeping the process of death in halt" Said Leviathan.
Alfonso remember the seed that Demeter put on his leg that day a few months ago.
"You are not fooling anyone with your words, Dragon, if you want to regain all your vitality, you will need at least ten liters of blood, your only answer would be to kill him and drink his blood from his decaying body" Said Perseus.
