Chapter 501: Getting Help from Overlords

"If you really are here to kill the Wolf of Disaster then you should give up. It would take an army to kill that fiend. With the demon wolves protecting their alpha, you will have a much more difficult time." Ashana stated as she cancelled the magic circle below Adrian's feet.

"Aw…I was trying to analyze that magic circle." Adrian unconsciously muttered which Ashana heard.

"Do you really think that you could decipher the ancient language of the foxes? You might be overestimating yourself demon Equinox." Ashana stated as she summoned a fan and unfurled it to hide half her face.

"I guess I will just hide the fact that I am about halfway in translating the magic runes that they used. It is still based on the first language that the demons use in casting magic. The characters just evolved overtime." Adrian thought as he bowed to Ashana to say goodbye.

Adrian is about to go off and leave but Ashana stopped him. One of her tails became longer and blocked the door. Adrian did not sense any killing intent, so he turned around to see what the fox princess wants.

"I thought I was free to go. Do you need something from me?" Adrian asked.

"If you are really going to kill the Wolf of Disaster then I might get the warriors of our clan to help you." Ashana stated and a system notification popped up for Adrian.

Adrian got shocked when he received the quest because Ashana had no will to fight Fenris. He immediately thought of the reason why she wants to fight the so-called Wolf of Disaster. She must need something that is on the territory of the Wolf of Disaster.

"I thought that it is a fool's errand to fight the Wolf of Disaster. What do you really need? You will not help me without a reason since this concerns the life of your clan members." Adrian stated as he knew that the request is too good to be true.

It is true that his chances of winning might increase with the help of the remaining overlords but that did not mean absolute success. He also considered the fact that the overlords might refuse him as some might be scared.

"If you accept my request then I will tell you the reason." Ashana stated as she waited for Adrian's answer.

"If you are playing like that then I agree." Adrian stated.

[You have agreed to take on the 'Gain the Help of the Three Remaining Overlords' quest.]

[You cannot cancel the quest and you will fail if you do not complete the mission within the specified time constraint.]

"Thank you for accepting." Ashana stated as she bowed. She then covered the inside of the building with magic that made sure that sound waves will not leak out.

"I need an herb that is growing in the north side of this world, but the Wolf of Disaster is guarding that area." Ashana stated.

"If you want an herb then why not ask those that come to the main world? I am sure that the herb you are looking for is also growing in that location." Adrian stated as he knew that the main world supports all the herbs growing in Pandemonium.

"Do you think I did not try that? I already gave the orders but there has been no news. The herb that I need is called the Wilde Flower which only grows in this world. Particularly, it is located in the north of this world." Ashana stated truthfully as Adrian already agreed to the quest.

"If this herb is rare then the Wolf of Disaster would surely eat it already. Some monsters get stronger by devouring powerful herbs after all." Adrian stated as he knew that some monsters need herbs to evolve although rare.

Eating an herb does not equate to a monster evolving as nature is a big variable. A monster with the fire attribute could evolve like Kanlaon if it ate a frost attribute herb but it could also kill them. It does necessarily equate to evolution.

"The wolf of disaster will not consume that herb yet." Ashana stated in a firm tone.

"What makes you so sure?" Adrian asked.

"That is because that herb will fully mature in ten days. The Wolf of Disaster is not stupid to devour it when the Wilde Flower has yet to bloom. It only blooms once every one hundred years after all. It has been feeding on it to recover the injury it sustained from the First Selvaggian King." Ashana stated seriously.

"Hence, the one-week time limit for recruiting the three overlords." Adrian uttered.

"Yes. I need that herb to heal someone important and if we succeed then the fox clan will be indebted to you." Ashana stated as she gave a graceful bow.

"Can I ask if your clan is in good will with the Ox Clan?" Adrian asked.

"We are not hostile with them, and they are usually very peaceful, but they are second to the Rhino Clan when it comes to defense. They do have better attack power than the Rhino Clan. I also heard that a descendant of their hero has returned which is why they are becoming powerful now." Ashana stated.

"If that is the case then can I ask a favor with you?" Adrian stated as he told his plan to Ashana. Her eyes grew wide from learning of Adrian's plan. He also contacted Kabrakan about the plan he came up with to increase their chances of winning. Kabrakan immediately agreed and told Adrian that he will make it happen.

=====

Adrian is now on the way to the west part of The Wilde called the Unforgiving Swamp. Ashana gave Adrian a map so that he could travel without being attacked by wild monsters. The map indicated the safe routes that Adrian needed to take to reach the residence of the West Overlord.

Ashana told Adrian about the details of the remaining three overlords. The overlord of the west is actually called the Grand Toad. It is a ginormous toad that is said to be able to spit out mud and create a muddy area wherever it goes. 

The Grand Toad is very powerful when it is fighting in a muddy area. Ashana did tell Adrian that he is also called the wise old toad for being the longest living overlord. The Grand Toad will definitely welcome Adrian as long as he does not kill any of his underlings in the Unforgiving Swamp.

The overlord of the east is a mighty bird that lives in the steep cliffs located in the east. The cliffs are called the Danger Ridge. It is always under the influence of string winds that only the strongest of avian monsters could fly in such an environment.

The overlord of the east is the Storm Vulture that is said to be vicious but loyal once you gain its trust. The Aeromorphs are considered part of its family as they pledged their loyalty to the overlord of the east. Basically, if Adrian manages to get the help of the overlord of the east then the Aeromorphs will also give their aide.

The last overlord who is the overlord of the south is the most mysterious of the overlords. It is said that the overlord of the south has yet to show itself as it does not like to meddle in the affairs of The Wilde. The only time that it meddled was the time the Wolf of Disaster ravaged its territory.

The overlord of the south is said to create earthquakes with just a step of its foot. The Selvaggian race have forgotten its form as it did not show itself for the past hundred years. It is also extremely territorial as you will be greeted with hostile killing intent upon stepping foot on its territory without being invited.

The overlord of the south is currently living in the place called Mystic Waterfalls. It seems to like the vibrant nature that the south part of this world has which is why it took its residence there. It is also one of the areas that the Selvaggian race dare to not enter.

They do not want to incur the wrath of the overlord of the south since it is said to be powerful when it is angry. This is the reason why the territory of the overlord of the south is called the untouched land.

"I just hope that the one I picked is really the easiest." Adrian muttered to himself.
