Chapter 176: Ties That Never Break

Chapter 176: Ties That Never Break

Elias stood outside a closed door and he couldn't stop himself from pacing restlessly as he waited for the door to be opened by the nuns inside! Elias has been waiting for the nuns to carry out the ritual that they would use to find Givalich for more than four hours now and he didn't know if he could wait any longer! What was taking them so long!? At this rate, Dray might die before they manage to complete the ritual and that would put them all the way back to the beginning and ruin all the effort that Elias put into this plan! They need to find Givalich before the dragon Mana burns its way through Dray!

Ka-cha!

The sound of the door opening made Elias perk up in surprise and his eyes lit up in anticipation when he saw a nun coming out of the room! The nun had an amazing figure and she was sweating intensely as she ran a handkerchief across her forehead. She had blonde hair and silver eyes that made her look very exotic. She had a sash around her waist with the symbol of a pawn on it to show her position in the church. Her name was Ruby and she was one of the pawns under the rook, Ria. Elias looked towards the room again to see where Ria was and he walked forward once he saw Ria coming out of the room.

Ris now wore a white bandage over her eyes and she was also sweating intensely. She saw that Elias was standing next to Ruby and Elias immediately noticed how Ria frowned in annoyance. Ria immediately turned to Ruby and told her to leave them be. She told Ruby to find time to rest and gather her energy before the mass in the evening. Ruby nodded and bowed to the two of them before she turned to leave.

Elias rolled his eyes at Ria. Even now, she still didn't like it when Elias was around any other beautiful woman. Elias was not even interested in that woman but Ria still sent her away.

Once she was gone, Elias gave Ria an expectant look. He didn't care about her jealousy, he would rather know how the ritual went.

"Did you manage to find where Givalich was? There isn't enough time for another ritual if you failed this one,"

Ria smiled as she stepped closer to Elias and turned her face up to him while pressing her chest into his own. She was sweating, and her nun outfit stuck to her chest and tightened her breast area, making it more pronounced than usual. Elias couldn't stop his eyes from going down to stare at it for a moment and then looking back at her. What rhe hell does she think she is doing?

Once Elias looked down at her breast, Ria smiled in a giddy way while trying to get even closer to him. They were already standing chest to chest so she just ended up squishing her breasts into Elias seductively.

"Oh, Eli, I'm a woman of the lord now, you know. Your carnal desires for me should be kept to yourself or else the lord will cast you down. With the way you're looking at me, I fear I won't be able to stop you if you decide to take me right here and now,"

Elias narrowed his eyes at her once he heard her call him Eli again. He already told her to stop calling him that but she never listens to him. He didn't have the time for this. Ria has always been like this from the very moment he met her! She seemed serious and professional when she was in front of others, but once they were alone she starts acting like some sort of succubus!

"Thank you. I'll leave tomorrow to find the location,"

Elias turned around and was about to leave but Ria quickly reached out to grab him. Her hands were slick from the sweat on them but she still managed to hold tight to him with both hands.

"U-Uhm, I'm going to take a bath in my room. Do you... Do you want to join me? You look tired,"

Should a woman of the lord be acting so forward with a man? This was the thought that Elias had as he turned around to stare at his wife with curiosity. She was blushing a little as she faced him and Elias could now fully see how her amazing figure was pronounced by the sweat on her skin. The sweat was making her outfit cling to her curves and Elias allowed his eyes to roam over her body. He felt that fire in his lower body again as he was reminded of how things used to be and he decided that he didn't have anything to lose by spending one night with her.

Elias nodded and the smile that Ria gave him was almost blinding! She pulled him along slowly as the both of them went towards her room.

....

Dragonnel walked across the front yard for the castle for the thirtieth time as he waited for his lord to call on him. Ever since Floid told Dragonnel to be ready to leave the castle at a moment's notice, Dragonnek already prepared everything and he was ready to fly towards whatever location the lord tells him immediately!

This mission was more personal for Dragonnel than it was for anyone else. Dragonnel knows that the demon lord was only going through all this trouble because he wanted another dragon under his command! It was a good reason and Dragonnel would never deny his lord the chance to have a second dragon, but for Dragonnel, this was more personal because Givalich was one of his family members.

Givalich and Dragonnek had the same mother when they were little and they grow up in the same nest and fed on the same meat as babies. They were basically siblings! The only reason why they got separated was because of the dragon slayer that took Givalich away and gave her to the humans! Dragonnel didn't know if Givalich chose to be sealed by the dragon slayer or not, but he knew that she would have never chosen to become a slave to the humans like this. Givalich would have gone crazy if she learned her power was being used as fuel for summoning heroes for the humans. Dragonnel didn't want to believe that Givalich just left the nest without a good reason! She didn't even tell him goodbye.

After Dragonnel learned that a Dragon Slayer was responsible for sealing Givalich, Dragonnel started to despise the dragon slayers and he left the continent of Volcanica and flew here to try and find Givalich. he caused a lot of destruction in the demon world for a long time before he met the former demon lord. The former demon lord told Dragonnel that he would only have a chance to find Givalich if he makes a contract with him. Dragonnel was immediately against it because he didn't like making contracts with demons and he tried to fight the demon lord. Dragonnel already heard about the demons and all the dragon slayers constantly said that demons were the worst set of people to make contracts with! Dragonnel once heard that every dragon that ever made a contract with a demon was killed and used as meat by the demons. That wasn't a very consoling thought. Dragonnel fought hard against the demon lord, but even still, the demon lord was just too strong. It felt like the demon lord was getting stronger as the fight was happening and after some time, Dragonnel realized that the demon lord was just playing with him! The demon lord was steadily increasing his power by a little after every minute and there was never a chance for Dragonnel to win! The former demon lord easily beat Dragonnel and he forced Dragonnel into a contract by taking his magic core and consuming it.

Dragonnel was resentful for a long time and he wanted to break the contract as soon as possible, but he didn't want that anymore. In fact, Dragonnel loved being a demon so much that he forgot all about Givalich as time went on! After searching for a very long time, Dragonnel could only assume that he wouldn't find Givalich anymore and he slowly gave up. Everything in the demon world was far better than Volcanica and Dragonnel didn't understand why everyone hated the demons so much!

It wasn't until Floid asked about Givalich that Dragonnel remembered her and he was shocked when Floid decided to find her! Dragonnel already gave up a long time ago and he thought there would never be a chance to find her again, but now, it really seems possible!
