The Conquerors Path
chapter-703

The story took the same dark turn that it did for the first memory that had played for Austin, Angelina watching with reddened eyes as the demon woman died saving the life of 'Austin'. The image of the man holding the dying woman in his arms, his face with bloodied tears matching with the scene she saw before. With a weak smile, the woman spoke.

"Cough!....looks like we couldn't make the last dream come true...."

As the dying woman murmured this, her life started to be lost, the power in her body being dried as the man's tears grew heavier, her words being resonated among the several dead monsters.

"I love you.....perhaps we might meet in a different life, one without wars...."

As she murmured the end of her words, her life finally left her body, leaving the man howling in pain and despair. From then on, the scenes flashed, the man in question being a vengeful ghost, his mind teetering on the brink of collapse and death as he kept wandering through the labyrinth, its challenges for death being a welcome yet he couldn't die, for his death would mean the end of the woman's memories with him.

Angelina's head suddenly started to throb harder and harder, her eyes turning redder and redder as she kept gazing at the scene, several emotions that she can't place a hand on covering over her body, taking over her mind as she watched the man conquer the last of the labyrinth. His life fading away with it as he murmured looking to the ceiling, the memories of the woman filling his mind.

"I hope in the next life we can meet"

And then a resounding blast echoed deep within Angelina's mind, the scene in front of her getting heavier as a single stone from the ceiling of the last labyrinth fell onto the man's head, its resounding light blurring her eyes for a moment as whispers started to fill Angelina's ears.

"I shall grant the wish of the first love, for let it be said within the fates of the entire world there lay a forgotten love. Take my blessings and let it be promised that when the demon reborn travels the dream of her chosen past, all the hidden history that is lost will be gifted, and let it be said that this is the promise from a labyrinth of fate...."

With that, divine might surrounded the whole labyrinth as it disappeared, while the feelings and emotions were left behind deep within Angelina's mind. Right now it was crumbling faster and faster, her body turning illusionary as Angelina in a daze completely disappeared from the dreamscape, leaving behind a lot of destroyed dreams.

Though the moment she disappeared, Austin appeared right at the center, a light smile grazing his face as Austin murmured.

"Well, that's....that"

....

Austin POV:

'She will definitely be having a great headache once everything clears, not to mention the emotional toil on her.'

After waking up, Angelina will definitely be under mental pressure, but it would all clear up soon. The only thing left is for Angelina to piece all the pieces together. I have already left the needed hints within all the adventures that Angelina will look through.

The ideology of fate would fall under the powers of the Goddess of Fate. It's true about the labyrinths existing in the pasts; it is said that such labyrinths were formed from the disrupted power of corruption all around, the fight of the energy against the Gods' divine might forming such reality spaces. Thus there came to exist several labyrinths all across back at that time.

People would be easily or accidentally swallowed up by them, then having to risk their life to escape. Though at the end of clearing it, fighting against the labyrinth, the corruption stored in there would start to slowly fade away, thus the Gods left great pieces of treasures at the end of such labyrinths.

With the hint that I have given her, along with the scenes I showed in the 'memory', it wouldn't take Angelina long to understand that perhaps that labyrinth would have belonged to the Goddess Of Fate, and the whole situation would then be wrapped around nicely.

'But the mental damage is still done. Well, not like the girls surrounding me are all normal.'

I mused at that thought, it would take some time, but after this, the path is already set. Slowly Angelina will fall, fall into such a level that she wouldn't be able to stop living without thinking about me.

'With this the first step for Angelina is done.'

Now all I have to do is to watch the rest fall into place.

'Guess it's time to get some real sleep.'

.....

"Did someone die?"

Nini asked with her gaze narrowed up as she looked between Carmel, Nix, and Melvin, the whole situation there being dark and gloomy, with Carmel seeming in control as the aura of 'don't talk to me' seemed to be oozing out, not to mention that sharp coldness spreading over. It would seem that the ploy I made yesterday had done its work.

"It's nothing, let's just get this over with."

I replied as I took the lead on the horse, with Nini in the lead and I behind her with Carmel. The travel began again as we crossed the valley, Nini herself having a big whopping smile from all her mouths, she was literally glowing from all the fucking I did to her, the devoted woman now seemingly set free as we kept moving forth.

The last hit I did the night before having already done its work, the relationship between Carmel, Nix, and Melvin is already cracked down humongously, nothing is going to change that. Though there is still the problem of Carmel and Carmelia still thinking that there are some foul actions at play, the sudden change still being something hard for the girls to accept as normal.

'But that's slowly going to change.'

And thus with quick movements, our entourage soon reached upon a moderate village spread all around, powerful auras being spread from around, with strong-looking women standing guard at the entrance. The village size being huge with every large hut spread around, several demons of the Zoxia tribe could be seen within the tribe.

Their demon-like features clearly seen with their blackish skins with several lines running around their bodies, the unique thing here being the fact that the men looked weak and fragile, while the women looked to be powerful and well-bodied. Heck, the whole place reeked of the matriarchal power they held.

"Is that the tribe?"

Carmel asked, sticking just to me, fully avoiding her best friends, who seemed to think they are in the right. Of course, the two must have tried to talk and see things through, but with the negative emotions boosted with the two boys, no matter how well Carmel explains the scenario all they would see is Carmel already becoming mine and the two being left with just their dicks in their hands.

'Not much longer...'

"Yes, that's the tribe, unique aren't they?"

I spoke to which Carmel nodded her head, her eyes looking through the place, the place itself having a certain tribal beauty to it. Though the moment we came closer towards it the whole place lit up with vigilance, the women pointing their spears at me, as their aura of Origin level 5 blasted forth from them. Seeing this, I moved my horse forward, the disguise coming off.

And the moment the guards saw me, their eyes seemed to narrow, seemingly taking time to understand me, though soon enough their eyes widened as they shouted out.

"Warrior Austin!"

Small smiles filling their faces as they waved their hands at me, seeing so I got down from my horse walking up to them with a smile, waving my hands as I spoke to them.

"Hey sister Lira and sister Toti!"

My words made their smiles widen as the two of them walked up to me and took their turns giving me a hug, pushing me roughly against their breasts, the two of them being slightly taller than me as they ruffled my hair.

"You have grown up to be a splendid young man!"

Lira shouted as she patted my shoulder, the force staying on my body as I replied back.

"Well the two of you look as strong as always."

My reply earning a snicker as they turned their eyes to the ones behind me, their expressions turning serious as they spoke.

"So tell us? Why did you bring outsiders here?"

The edge in their tone being undeniable and turning around I could see Carmel biting her lips a bit, to which looking at the two guards I spoke.

"I want to see the matriarch, I wish to challenge the hidden cave to get permission to draw the cure of fallen, an important person has slept into the fallen."

At my words, their expression shifted a lot, to which in the end with a sigh Toti spoke, her spear hitting against the ground as she did.

"Wait here, I will go and talk to the matriarch."

With that, Toti headed in, while Lira started to make some small talk with me, while eyeing the ones on the horses behind me. Though by now a small amount of crowd had formed outside, while the ones that recognized me already started to run up to me.

Several of the men started to speak and shift around me, while my looks and aura being international attractive got the attention of the mainly younger women as they started to circle around me, playing the lines of seduction to get me into their arms.

"My.....Austin you look much more handsome now."

One woman said as she tried to rub my arms.

"Are you alone, cause you got my interest!"

"Are you a 45-degree angle? Because you're a cutie!"

"I hope you know breath-to-breath resuscitation, cause you just took my breath away!"

'Man.....can they get any cheesier?'
