Will of chaos

While Nix and Layla are outside heading towards the capital, I gather with the others inside the mansion, discovering that Nix took advantage of these hours we had to wait in the city to kick everyone out of the Dungeon while creating three more floors.

Nix also expanded the mansion's floor twice, which was moved to the 7th floor.

Now the floor of the mansion must be the same size as the Forest of Blood where I was born.

Everyone was surprised by this, I didn't even know anything since I needed to rest for a long time, but I had already given permission for Nix to make these modifications in the Dungeon when he had the opportunity.

But this created a problem that we had to explore the three new floors until we reached the mansion floor, when we got there I was surprised with all that space, there was even a mountain now.

On the way to the mansion I talked to Kira who said about the blood she collected from enemies, it was only at that moment that I realized I had forgotten to think about it, I almost missed an excellent opportunity to gain more skills and bloodlines.

I thanked Kira and the others who helped to collect the blood, I was drinking that blood for the hours of walking it took to reach the camp.

Vanessa spent all this time talking to Lilian, it felt like she was explaining the Dungeon to her.

Vanessa talked to me earlier about wanting Lilian to join our group as her subordinate, and I didn't see a problem with that so I allowed it.

When we were all at the mansion Freya and Caryna started preparing food for everyone, after hours of walking everyone was hungry except for me who drank so much blood on the way that it had turned into a ball.

After everyone ate was when we could start the meeting on what to do when arriving in the capital of the Makari Kingdom.

"To be honest, I find it impossible to avoid a confrontation, I also find it difficult not to involve the people of the city."  (I)

"From the information, we have the King is someone very strong, we don't have anyone capable of fighting him."  (Érica)

"We can't forget that besides the King, there will be other strong enemies in the capital."  (Sapphire)

"But before thinking about the King and his subordinates we have to stop the summoning of the Dragon of Destruction which will probably be even stronger than King Makari."  (I)

"The problem is, the magic circle in the center of town will already be active when we get there, so Vanessa won't be able to cancel the spell."  (Irina)

"I have a solution for that."  (Rakan)

"During this day that we were trapped in the city by the barrier, I spent all my time trying to find a way to stop this summoning."  (Rakan)

"I have found that once the summoning starts it cannot be stopped, in other words, we cannot allow magic circles in the streets and sewers to activate."  (Rakan)

"But by the time we get there, it will be activated for days."  (Ivan)

"No, it will be different."  (Rakan)

"In the city where we were, they didn't activate all the magic circles, what they did was activate only the control magic circle to gather enough energy to activate all the magic circle circles quickly, only after the magic circle on the street is activated that will be able to collect energy from the population, but for that, they need to activate the sewer magic circle at the same time to have a place to send this large amount of energy."  (Rakan)

"In the last city they built up energy in the crystal to quickly activate magic circles in the streets, so I suppose they'll do the same this time too."  (Rakan)

"So you're saying we have to stop them before activating the full-scale spells?"  (I)

"Yea."  (Rakan)

"But how are we going to do that?"  (I)

"Destroying the magic circle's connections with the magic circles in the streets and sewers."  (Rakan)

"If we do that they won't be able to activate the magic circles as they wouldn't be able to transmit the mana to them."  (Rakan)

"Do you know where those connections are?"  (Diana)

"Yes, on the way to the mansion I was talking to Leonardo who confirmed that the locations I described to him are the same for all 4 cities."  (Rakan)

"There are 8 connections to the magic circle in the streets and 2 connections to the magic circle in the sewer."  (Rakan)

"How are we going to destroy those connections?"  (I)

"With an explosion, the connection is made using magic crystals, magic circles to control the flow of energy and black stone, we have to destroy everything."  (Rakan)

"So we have to do it at the same time, otherwise they'll realize what we're doing."  (I)

"Exactly, to do that we'll have to ask Érica to use magic crystals to record her magic."  (Rakan)

"Érica's cursed fire will completely destroy the connection points, that's why this purple fire totally consumes mana."  (Rakan)

"I can also put a time activation spell on the magic crystals, so we can make sure there are no problems and we can destroy everything at the same time."  (Rakan)

"Can we activate the barrier yet? This will be useful to stop the enemies from fleeing."  (I)

"It won't be possible, with the connection points destroyed they won't be able to activate the barrier around the city."  (Rakan)

So we won't be able to prevent the enemies from fleeing, so we'll have to attack them at the same time as we destroy the connection points to prevent them from fleeing, but that will involve the townspeople in the confusion as well.

"What should I do..." (I)

I spent a few minutes weighing it in when an idea comes to mind, the thing I saw in an anime in my old world.

"Can we assume that all enemies will be in the secret room where the magic control circle is?"  (I)

"No, they will be in the castle possibly with the king, the secret room is where the Kimera soldiers will possibly stay, the castle is much safer."  (Rakan)

"I spent 7 years improving the castle's magical defenses, the King invested a lot of materials in it, at the time I didn't know why, but now I understand why."  (Rakan)

"Also, the castle is outside the magic circle of the street."  (Rakan)

So now I know that the enemies will be gathered in only two places, it also seems that the kimera soldiers were not on the surface but in the secret room of the magic control circle.

"Do any of you know what effects fear can have?"  (I)

"..." (all)

Everyone looked at me strangely as I changed the subject so suddenly, but Irius was the first to answer my question.

"Depending on the intensity it can cause fainting, momentary paralysis or hysteria, I've also heard very extreme cases of death."  (Irius)

"Would that make people leave town?"  (I)

"If the source of that fear was within the city, then yes."  (Ivan)

"But you're not planning on using your Aura on the entire city again, are you?"  (Ivan)

"That would be a very bad idea, your Aura would cause the death of every normal person who came into contact with it for the first time."  (Sophia)

"I'm going to use my Aura, but not in the way you're thinking, in the next few days I'll have to train this, but I'll need your help, Sophia."  (I)

"I'm always willing to help you, master."  (Sophia)

"As for the connection points, I'll want two pairs to do this so as not to draw attention."  (I)

"The first pair will be Elsaris and Layla, you two will be able to work together for this, you both have good hiding, tracking, and sensing skills."  (I)

"The second pair will be Lilian and Nix, I hope I don't disappoint you Lilian."  (I)

"This is the first time I'm trusting you, Nix will be watching you closely, I hope the two of you work together."  (I)

"I chose these four because they have better skills for a stealth mission like this, the others will be preparing for a coordinated attack against the enemies."  (I)

"Lyra, I want you to make a large amount of neurotic poison, make this poison become a mist capable of filling a room the size of secret rooms with magic control circles."  (I)

"I'll do it easily, there won't be any problems on my side."  (Elsaris)

"You don't need to worry, I will demonstrate that I can fulfill the mission that was given to me, I will show that your trust in me was not wrong."  (Lilian)

"For this amount of poison I may need the master's help and Jade, your poison is the most effective for me to work with."  (Lyra)

We spent the rest of the night discussing the details of the plan.

Pov Goddess Selene:

Zenos is doing things spectacularly, as usual, he is smart not only to rely on strength to solve his problems, thanks to this he was able to save two cities.

He couldn't save the third, but I suppose it would be difficult for anyone at his current level of strength to do anything in that situation, but it also allowed me to help fulfill the wish of two of my believers.

Vanessa wanted a Vampire who had very specific skills and experience as her right-hand man, moreover, I wanted someone who had a strong faith in me, the best choice at the moment was Lilian who came closer than Vanessa wanted, any other choice would be a long way off from Vanessa and Zenos, this would also fulfill Lilian's long-time wish to serve me.

I've been liking Zenos' actions more and more, he decided not to fight for himself to give his subordinates another layer of protection, moreover in the end he took the initiative to pray for the innocent people who died.

He doesn't even realize how incredible this was, asking Vanessa who is already almost a saint to do this ritual that offered all her blood as an offering to me, also allowed me to judge the souls of fools who deny their origins.

But I realized only now the most incredible thing, in the ruined city the next night, all the bodies fell apart, both the bodies of the enemies and the dry bodies of the innocents were sucked into the square along with the blood that was all over the city, moreover, the mana that was too concentrated in the city was also sucked into the square.

All this formed a tornado in the center of the square where it was liquefied into blood, in the center of the tornado a drop of blood containing a chaotic Aura rises up, this drop of blood has slight golden energy in it as it crystallizes.

Soon the remains of the bodies and energy that was liquefied gathered in this crystal, at that moment the remnants of Zenos' Aura that were still around the city are concentrated in this crystal and a blood-red cocoon appears floating in that square, I send my blessings to this creature if forming inside the cocoon to help birth.

Too bad there is no one to see this creature being born, the energy inside the cocoon glows in the rhythm of a heartbeat, this lasts until the moment when the two moons are higher in the sky, then the cocoon explodes in light, the creature is born looking up at the starry sky with its different colored eyes before turning into a red blur heading towards the capital of the Makari Kingdom.

"I didn't expect him to create this kind of creature by accident, you are always surprising me Zenos."  (I)
