Chapter 533: Towards The Wilde North

Two howls from large beasts resonated with the darkening skies. A solar eclipse happened as soon as the howls started as if the two celestial bodies are hiding away from the howls. Every living being in The Wilde heard the dreadful howls of the two beasts.

King Leonidas, who heard the howls, is certain that it came from the two Child of Disasters. It seems that he knew that it is now time for a full-scale war against demon wolf kind. Adrian, who is now sitting on the ground, is listening to the testimonies of the dead demon wolves.

The demon wolves seem to be regretting their actions as they are not returning to the cycle of life that is regulated by each world. It seems that the God of Death in The Wilde is absent or feigning ignorance of the dead demon wolves.

If the demon wolves do not ascend, only two things could happen. One is they become an undead that roams this land but that could not happen unless they encounter miasma. The last would be their soul would gradually lose their memories and identities and then vanish without a trace. They will no longer reincarnate as they will never ascend.

"I see. No wonder that you guys are too much in number. I am just thankful that the one I am facing is not a dark god but empowered by one." Adrian muttered as the others could see that he is talking to invisible beings.

"Is the Champion of the Twin Gods fine? He seems to be talking to someone that we cannot see. Is it a side effect of using that unique form of his?" King Leonidas asked Kabrakan as the oxen hero is a close friend of Adrian.

"He is not the Champion of the Twin Gods now but the Shepherd of Lost Souls. He is talking to the souls of the departed. It seems that they wanted to pour their hearts…dead hearts to him." Kabrakan replied as he helped the others pick up the loot.

"It seems that he is not only the Champion of the Twin Gods but also an important being that regulates the souls of the dead. Still, it is funny to think that an immortal being is something like a guardian of the dead. Besides that, it seems that the Ox Hero did not tell me that he is also friends with four important individuals." King Leonidas stated which made Kabrakan sweat.

The four important individuals that he is referring to is Creepysoo, Lycan, Solstice, and Levin Cloud. King Leonidas knows of the first three due to the meetings with the other Asmodian races. They are very important people when it comes to the welfare of their races.

For Levin Cloud, he felt something different from him. Even though King Leonidas is a king, he felt this sense of deep respect for Levin Cloud as if it is ingrained in him. It is not just him though as the other beastkins wanted to at least touch him as if he is a living saint.

King Leonidas only felt this way when he met an important figure that is in the religion of the twin gods. He could more or less deduce that the leshy in front of him is actually the Envoy of the Twin Gods. Levin Cloud is radiating two different energies that make any of the Asmodian race feel calm and exhilaration.

When Adrian is done with the sudden confessions of the dead demon wolves, he activated the special perk of his title. He summoned the door to Limbo where the demon wolves could be judged. He could not contact the God of Death associated with this world which is why he opted for the longer method.

"Is your séance done?" Levin Cloud asked and everyone suddenly gathered.

"It is not a séance. It just took too long because the demon wolves had a lot to tell me. It seems that the Wolf of Disaster has been planning on invading the other territories. The Wolf of Disaster only sent its eldest child to the south because it was confident that its child could deeply wound or possibly kill the southern overlord.

It seems that it still has the fear that the southern overlord might become stronger than it which is why it sent demon wolves. The thing that the Wolf of Disaster did not expect is me being there and helping the southern overlord kill his eldest child." Adrian stated.

"Is there anything else that the demon wolves have told you, Champion Equinox?" King Leonidas stated as he joined the conversation.

"They did say that the Wolf of Disaster devoured something that is not of this world. It seems that an apostle of a dark god went to it for help, but it ended up being devoured to nourish its weak body. The demon wolves did not know why the apostle wanted to seek help from the Wolf of Disaster as it immediately got devoured the moment it was about to speak.

They also added that the Wolf of Disaster seems to be waiting for the Wilde Flower to bloom. It seems that it wants to recover its peak strength by devouring that herb. Also, the north is now barren as the will of this world no longer gives it the blessing of life. Their population became too big that the only choice for them is to invade south." Adrian added.

"Do you think that the Wolf of Disaster might have been poisoned in the head by this dark god apostle? It has been said that the dark gods are famous for these types of manipulations." King Leonidas stated.

"I thought so too but I asked the demon wolf souls if strange deformities have formed on the body of their leader. Their answer is always the same and it is no." Adrian commented.

"We do not have the advantage of a surprise attack anymore since they already knew that we must have survived. I will rally troops to march to the north. The messengers from the east and wet also returned from their duty. The giant wolves that they attacked are actually not the real Child of Disasters, but clones made of some distorted mass." King Leonidas reported.

"The demon wolves did say that the Wolf of Disaster could recreate one of the abilities of the individuals it devours. That might be a skill of that dark god apostle. The one thing I fear is the battle against the Wolf of Disaster. 

The demon wolves told me that the Wolf of Disaster always devoured a young wolf if it is born with a rare ability. The reason that no other wolf could challenge its supremacy is the fact that it devoured special wolves. The other terrifying thing that I heard is that the twin wolves that is its children also inherited that ability." Adrian stated which made the atmosphere heavy.

"We must not lose hope! The fox clan will follow you to kill that Wolf of Disaster. We never break a promise once we have made it." Ashana, the fox princess, stated as the other fox clan members rallied before her.

"Since the ox hero is participating, we the Ox Clan will also participate. The demon wolves used to trash our clan around before. It is about time that the Wolf of Disaster taste the might of our horns!" The Ox Clan head stated as the others cheered as well.

"I will also rally my army that can fight. If we end the Wolf of Disaster, then peace will finally be attainable for The Wilde!" King Leonidas cheered.

"Do not forget about me! I shall serve the Blind Demon God with all my strength. I will offer my life to the Blind Demon God!" The Sacred Snake stated as she vowed to Adrian.

"Who is the Blind Demon God?" Levin Cloud asked Kabrakan in a quiet whisper and the latter pointed to Adrian. The other suddenly chucked upon hearing the weird title and fanatic that Adrian obtained.

"Thank you for volunteering. I will not disappoint you. The eastern and western overlord will also join us as I will summon them when we reach the north. They have entrusted me with their summoning tokens, and I plan to return that trust." Adrian stated as the others cheered with great vigor as they all marched to the north.

Those that marched north did not know that they are unprepared as the north not only became barren and desolate, but the climate changed as well. It is not only the harsh weather that awaited them in the north as the Wolf of Disaster that is using the blood of the grim reaper that it managed to tear off.

The Wolf of Disaster sprayed the blood of a godlike being to The Wilde Flower as it attempted to turn the flower into something dreadful and powerful. The scream of the will of the world could be heard as the blood of this world's grim reaper is poured on the Wilde Flower.
