Chapter 171: The Holy King

Chapter 171: The Holy King

After Rosavellt and Alucard left to prepare the familiars as floid commanded, Floid told Dragonnel to be ready at a moment's notice for them to leave the castle. Immediately Floid receives a report from either Alucard or Rosavellt that they found a mana fluctuation, they would leave at once.

Dragonnel nodded and he also exited the throne room and finally left Floid alone. Once Floid was left alone, he immediately received a notification from his system about the mission.

[Host has failed the bonus Quest [Find the hero and retrieve her magic core]]

[All rewards have been forfieted]

[The location of Asgorath shall remain hidden]

Floid squeezed his hand into an angry fist as he saw this! This was the first time that he would be failing a quest and it made him feel very angry! But he couldn't dwell on this for too long! It was good that it was only a bonus Quest that Floid failed instead of the main quest! The main quest was to find Asgorath after finding the hero's core.New novel chapters are published on

Fkpod knew that he just missed a major chance to get a head start on his main quest but that doesn't matter to him. There are always going to brother ways to find Asgorath and Floid wasn't a fool that doesn't make plans for the slight chance that things don't work out the way he hopes they would. Floid already had other ways to find Asgaroth and he would use those other ways now that the mission failed. Floid knew that things would have been easier if he passed the mission, but he didn't pass it so there was no need to dwell on it.

Right now, Floid just has to wait for Alucard or Rosa to come back with any news regarding the mana fluctuating in the atmosphere. I'll be right there when Elias is trying to take the dragon and I'll fucking tear him apart for trying to take Givalich from me.

Elias walked through the hall of the church as he made his way toward the room where Dray was lying down. Once he got to the door, he stopped at the entrance and looked down at Dray. There were two nuns in the room and they were constantly using a wet rag to dab Dray with cold water to try and bring down his body temperature.

Every since Dray came back with the dragon Mana, Elias has been getting everything ready for the ritual that they would use to find Givalich. the ritual would take a few more minutes to be completed and Elias just hoped that Dray doesn't die before they finish the preparations. With the way things are going, this idiot might allow himself to die before we get what we need. Elias frowned in annoyance as he watched the pained expression on Dray's face. Maybe I should call an ice magic user to help bring his body temperature down?

"Hnngghh!!"

Dray released a pained grunt as his chest burned with an angry red color! The dragon mana inside his body was slowly killing him and everyone knew it! The pain was only getting worse over time! The nuns sitting beside him immediately rushed to help him cool his chest by putting some cold water on it! It reduced the red coloration a little but the pain was still there and Dray grit his teeth in anger as he opened his eyes a little to see Elias standing over him.

Dray snarled at Elias.

"Get... this shit out of me! You said you would get it out of me!"

Elias didn't even look like he gave a fuck about Dray. His expressionless face only made Dray angrier!

"We need the mana to be inside someone to find the dragon. We're already working on finding Givalich so it shouldn't take too long. Bare with it for a few more hours,"

How the hell am I meant to bare with this, you bastard!!? It's killing me! Dray wanted to shout this at Elias but he couldn't even shout because he suddenly got another intense pain in his chest and he shouted! Elias frowned in irritation and he told one of the nurses there to gag Dray with a cloth, the woman obeyed and put a cloth between Dray's teeth to prevent him from shouting again.

But just like Elias taught Dray a long time ago, you really can't trust anyone's word in this world. At the end of it all, the only constants in this world are betrayal and death. Everything else changes, but these two things will never disappear.

Elias gave the king a nod.

"Of course, I remember. I was the one that made the promise to you and I intend to honor it. You don't need to remind me of it all the time,"

The king smiled and he looked so young at that moment that Elias was suddenly reminded of his own son. But Elias quickly threw that image out of his head. His son died ages ago and there was no point in remembering him now.

"That's good. I just wanted to make sure that we were still on the same page. You are aware of how things would end up if you were to betray us, right? The Lord forgives most transgressions, but he does not forgive the ignorance of duty and responsibilities. You wouldn't want to go against the lord, would you, Elias?"

Elias scoffed silently. It was because of things like this that Elias was sure that Arthur was a child. Arthur spoke about the lord so much and his entire soul was dedicated to pleasing the lord. I wonder what sort of training he received for him to be so loyal to this church. It almost reminds me of a child soldier. Elias knows that no one in this church could control the king, but there was no need to control the king when he was so dedicated to the church already. Elias was sure that they have been feeding him with doctrines and passages from their bible for years to build him to this point. Like a frog inside a well that doesn't know anything about the real world.

Elias shook his head at Arthur's question.

"Of course not. I wouldn't dare to go against your Lord."

"Good. Do you still have the fragment I gave to you?"

"Yes. And I wish to thank you again for offering to help me with the task,"

The king waved the thanks away. He was only doing his duty as was expected of him. Elias was going to be giving them Givalich so Arthur decided that it was the church's duty to aid Elias in any way possible.

"Just activate it at the moment when you need me the most. Remember you can only use it once and there will be no other chances. My powers work under a very strict set of rules,"

Elias nodded and then he gave a small bow before he turned to leave but Arthur spoke again before Elias could go too far.

"And one more thing, Elias. That boy, Dray, what do you intend to do with him?"

Elias turned slightly to give the king a curious look. Why does he care what happens to the boy?

"Once he finishes this task I have no use for him anymore. As far as I know, there is a high possibility that he will die in the next few days because of the dragon's mana. Why are you asking about him?"

Arthur hummed in mild disappointment and he just smiled sadly.

"It's nothing. I feel that he would have made an excellent priest. The young ones are usually the most zealous priests, and since he had experienced loss and grief, his faith would be even stronger. But that does not matter anymore, it seems the Lord has other plans for the boy. You may leave,"

Elias was still a little curious about the king's sudden interest in Dray, but he just ignored it once he was excused and he left the room.
