The Villain's Story
284 [284] Descent of the Marquis!
Alan entered Samantha's room and saw a Blonde-Haired girl he was familiar with. Her hand glowed a holy light and this light seemed to be healing His Sister.
Alan paused for a moment as he gazed at that light. That energy...was not Mana. It was Aura.
"...Aura?"
He muttered as he stared at Emma's hands.
Emma Foxglove seemed to be in complete focus as she continued to heal Samantha. Alan didnt disturb her. He saw his grandmother Amanda Peccator as well as her sleeping on the couch.
There were dark circles underneath her eyes.
'...How? No wait it makes sense.'
Demi-humans and other Beastly species were infamous for having low compatibility with mana just like orcs, So they used the energy present within their body to compensate for that. That power was known as Aura. Something Alan desperately wanted to achieve.
But he failed to do it.
[Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras says that Aura is unique.]
[Supreme Dragon of Ice Lanesha agrees.]
Alan silently stood and gazed at the energy, mesmerized by it.
Alexander Possessed a Silver Aura, an aura which resembled the wind and the moon.
Lucas and the Sword Saint both possessed Aura which was Green, Likely representing life. They had both awakened their auras when they were near death so that probably had an effect on them. But Alexander's aura...he didnt have a clue.
Ahh...he wanted Aura too.
[Supreme Dragon of Suleras says that will be hard.]
[Supreme Dragon Of Lanesha says your wish is hard to fulfill.]
'Huh? What? Why?'
Just then, Emma had stopped using the Unique Aura, and beads of sweat trickled down her brow, She went to grab a glass of water and then she saw Alan.
Surprised, her ears and tail perked up.
"You wanted to meet me?"
Said Alan. he was curious as to why she wanted to meet him. He had somewhat of an idea in mind.
"...How long were you there for Sir?"
'Sir?'
It was the first time someone called him that. It felt good somehow.
"For a while, I saw that unique power of yours."
Emma, sounded...perplexed? Or rather hesitant. One could say she was afraid.
Alan waited for her to speak.
"Please accept me and my brother as part of your guild..."
Alan raised his eyebrows at her words.
"I have a good healing ability...I can heal Your little sister Samantha in exchange for letting me into Twilight...and my brother. But..."
"But...?"
"But you would have to force him to enter...He lives a dangerous life... I want you to use your strength to discipline him...Please."
She seemed Desperate. Alan stood in front of Samantha's bed as he gazed at her. Indeed, Her complexion had gotten better. It was...ok when he was using The full power of the bloodline of the Pheonix...but it had gotten even better after Emma healed her. She was regrowing her lush beautiful hair...and the weakness had disappeared.
[Supreme dragon of Chaos Suleras says that it would be beneficial for you to accept her offer.]
[Supreme dragon of Ice Lanesha agrees. She says that the ability is marvelous. She advises you to accept the offer. She says that Samantha 'may' regain consciousness if that ability is used to heal her along with the power of a Pheonix.]
'..!'
And that was enough for Alan to accept the proposal. Just hearing that his Sister may regain consciousness was enough.
"I accept, we were in need of a healer anyway...And I just have to bring your brother?"
"...Yes...He is stubborn so he May be ha-"
"Don't worry about it. Can you please continue healing my sister with everything?"
"Ah Yes!"
"Good, then From now on, You and your brother are officially part of Predator."
Emma bowed down to show her appreciation. Alan could hear her sniffling. Tears were coming out.
Maybe from this day onwards...the life of the two would change. For better.
Alan was about to leave the room to do his duty when Emma called out to him.
"But...How will you find my brother? I can gi-"
"I have my ways."
Alan couldn't tell her that he had spied on her and her brother. He knew what the brother of hers looked like. And besides, she was a demihuman, her brother was the same. He probably had to look like her, with the tail and ears and everything.
Alan left the room, leaving Emma puzzled.
******
[A while later.]
"Did you find anything?"
Alan asked Kazikato. Kazikato shook his head as he threw a crate of chaos stones on the floor. Alan felt disturbed just by being in their presence...which was odd considering his Strongest Affinity was Chaos.
The chaos stones were relatively small in size, and didnt seem to be that strong.
They had raided three warehouses but found empty vats. The monster had been here...but they had been transported somewhere else. He did wonder why the vats were still thought.
"Should we go back?"
Asked Kazikato.
"Did you get 'him'?"
Alan was talking about Emma's brother, He had told Kazikato about him and sent him to get him.
"Yeah."
Answered Kazikato, as he reached into his shadow and pulled out an unconscious Edward Foxglove.
Alan stared at Edward Silently.
"He didnt cooperate."
Said Kazikato.
"..."
"Oh well... Let's just go back. I think the beast guilds have taken them back to their headquarters."
"Should we raid their headquarters boss?"
"No, Let's just go back."
Alan and Kazikato walked outside the warehouse, Kazikato carried Edward on his shoulder.
And then...an Earthquake was felt. Both of the dragons felt the shockwave of ominous energy and then the quest Prompt appeared in front of them.
[Stop the descent of the Marquiss!]
[Quest Difficulty: S]
[Quest reward: Titles and items based on contribution.]
[Quest Failure penalty: A Marquiss of Chaos will descend upon Earth, Quest Difficulty will rise to SSS-.]
[Description: A Marquiss of darkness and Chaos of the 88th layer of the Abyss has tricked the Beast Alliance and has made them his slaves. He plans to descend upon Earth using unholy, demonic means in order to wreak havoc. He plans to ascend to the Duke rank with all the sacrifices procured through this incident. Stop the descent of the Demonic Marquis! Or else Chaos will befall Earth!]
[This is a forced quest to all Nondemonic awakened in Aror. You cannot deny this quest.]
[Good luck. You will need it.]
And then, the entire city descends into chaos. Alan saw the barrier which isolated the city, along with all the other demonic phenomena.
He tried to open a portal to the outside world...But the portal failed to open.
"Grandma says it a spatial Isolation...We cant teleport out of here if we are weaker than the caster."
Relayed Kazikato. Alan's expression turned serious.
"Let's hurry back."
