The Conquerors Path
chapter-376-30041322

Austin POV:

'Finally some peace'

I thought as I held the fainted Sabrina in my hands, since she had signed the contract I could from now onwards begin my inner plans for the Elven Empire, and this would also further my goal for Sabrina, after all, I do need certain situations where she would 'accidentally' find more about me, though even, in that case, I have to be careful.

If she even gets a sniff of foul play then conquering her would almost be impossible, that's the main reason that I will be taking some time for Sabrina, I already have two or three plans in motion for her, just one has to succeed and I'd be set,

"Quite the power there"

The AI spoke, making me look at it, my eyes narrowed at the eye that was trying to pierce deep into me, I snorted at it,

"Stop the act, you ain't that good at it"

I spoke, placing Sabrina in a comfortable bed I took out, after making sure that she was all tucked in I took a mask and placed it on her face, it releasing a sleeping gas that would be keeping in her a nice deep sleep as long as I need,

"You figured it out?"

The AI spoke but this time its voice was completely emotionless, with no anger, no sadness, nothing.....

"As I said you ain't good at all"

My voice sounded out as I stretched a bit of my body, it wasn't hard to pierce everything together, I was able to understand that this floating piece of eyeball was trying to manipulate the two of us, none of the emotions it showed till now was genuine, in fact, I am 99% sure that this thing isn't even capable of having any sort of emotions,

"I thought I did well. I did after all spend a significant amount of time watching and trying to learn these so-called reactions of others"

The AI spoke in an emotionless voice benefiting of it, I looked deeply at it, trying my best to find out its deepest desire,

"How much of everything you said is the truth?"

"Pretty much all of it"

The AI said, making my eyes squint,

"Let me guess the inhabitants of the city weren't good people even from the beginning"

The eyeball fluctuated up and down, seemingly nodding its eye,

"Its true, the power over blood gives huge ego and arrogance plus an unmatched bloodlust, the blood elves could be said as the evil side of the Elven lineage"

'Just as I thought'

I could now feel the eerie aura surrounding the entire place better, having the blessing of Razellia, makes it such that I am more in tune with the species that caused destruction and chaos, along with Orpheus's blessing I have a very powerful sense of telling when a certain person or species is inclined towards pure destruction, though this doesn't necessarily mean that the people I sense are truly evil.

The information I brought from the system only told me about the inner workings, the traps, the ways to walk, and a very brief history about the blood elves living inside but it did give me a very good idea that the whole of the Blood Elves was feared, I first chalked it up to their strength, though now the truth is clear as day,

"Now cut the crap and get to the topic"

I said, the destructive mana around me getting higher, and along with it my feelings for Razellia, skyrocketed, I imagined holding her, kissing her, and more, causing my connection to strengthen heavily, giving me higher access to the element, while doing so I also felt the subtle connection between me and Razellia growing stronger.

I could feel the never-ending yearning within Razellia, she was just waiting for her punishment time to finish so that she could come and meet me,

'Damn, her desires are overloading me'

A craze filled with lust, desire, and love filled my mind, not wanting to piss her off, I supplied the same feelings back to the trapped Goddess waiting for the day she could break free so that she could rape me. For now, I am keeping her on a leash by making it such that her plan of using her powers to bring me in is working,

"The truth is before Abelardo stored the world within a spatial lock travel, he made a prophecy"

"A prophecy?"

'Yeah, I don't like where this is going'

"Yes, a prophecy, Abelardo made a word that two beings, one of eleven origins and another of human, shall arrive at this place and bring about an end to their suffering"

'Yup, I hate prophecies'

Since I had signed the contract, I have to end their pain but I need some answers, I need some light to make sure that my moves in the future wouldn't cause harm to me ro the people I love,

"You are the manager of the whole city, right?"

I asked, to which the eyeball shook up and down as an indication of a nod,

"Then why did no one step to stop the madness of this city? I am sure beings capable of handling this problem should have existed in that Era"

"A wise question, the answer to that is that a special circumstance surrounded the city that no one at the time could lend a hand"

The AI responded, hence I continued,

"Then, why didn't the Alberdo end the city?"

"Sentiments and the fact that if he did he would be placing them in a higher pain, he wouldn't be able to give true peace to his people"

'The main ability from my weapon, the power of purification, is that what all this is about?'

The answer was more than enough to make me sigh, somehow the situation reminded me of what happened at the beginning of the Academy, the time when I was led to purify the chaos affected people of the sea and Xavier.

Somehow back then I had ended up with the key to that locked place after finishing up the quest of learning to cook and here again I am, standing in front of another city, being another savior,

'I am suddenly starting to feel like a waste disposal system'

My mind started to plan several scenarios in my mind, this world ain't running on logic, I can take the fact that some heavenly deviation exists that predicted that I would arrive here but them who orchestrated it?

Did the God of Game just send me here to get beauties and out of spite?

Or

Is everything the system telling me false?

As much as I wanted to I knew that my survival would drop exponentially once I lose the system it's my lifeline, yet the question was bugging me to no end, though the silver lining in all of this is the fact that I am inching closer towards the truth and I am sure if I keep going forward, taking my own path I would one day reach all the answer I need.

Taking a deep breath to calm my heart I asked another question,

"Why didn't Sabrina pick up all the hints?"

If I could see it, so could she, I am sure of that at least, I knew the reason in my mind, it was in the information that the system had given me,

"This is the super resting place of Alberdo, all elves entering here would be led by emotions unless their power surpasses him"

This answer made me smile, yes this is the main reason that I had led Sabrina here, in this place her most prized possession of intelligence would be weak, and her emotions would drive her to do anything to bring peace to the ancient elves, else how could someone as smart and ruthless like her fall for sentiments and end up signing such a losing contract?

"Are all your questions answered?"

"Yeah"

I said as I walked in front of the humongous gate, ear-splitting creaking sounds being heard as the gate started to open, my connection to Orpheus was established, thus making my entire body fill with life, while my power reached unprecedented heights, if anyone tried to control my blood they would be in for a surprise.

My bow flashed in my hand as it soon twisted and turned into a harp, a smoothing blue light filling it, growling sounds filled my vision as I gazed at the city of carnage, ancient monsters staring back at me with vile intent,

"Let's go!"
