Chapter 237: Someone from the Aetherworld

Chapter 229

"So, you're the second overseer?" Asked Axel, looking at the woman with vigilance. She didn't look like a Krackhead at all.

She had blonde hair, and grey eyes, making her look similar to Daphne. And she was wearing a dress that seemed to have been woven out of a giant leaf.

Overall, she looked more like a tree spirit rather than a cult follower.

"I mean, you're on the side I'm killing, right?" He asked, just to be sure, before he started going on the offensive.

Zeta stood up, slowly rising into the air.

"Yes I am. And I take it, you are the infamous Crown Prince everyone has been talking about?" she asked, studying him back.

Axel sighed in his heart. He really was hoping for things to end quickly here so that he could be on his way back. But of course, his luck simply won't have it.

'I mean, second overseer? Here?!'

"You are mistaken, lady. I am not the crown prince. I am just a random passerby who just happened to stop by to admire the nature," he said, looking around.

Zeta just shook her head.

"You know, you can't imagine my surprise when I sensed you, of all people, approaching this place. And with the Royal Trident too. I suppose Aslot really is dead then?"

"Well, I do hope so."

Zeta just looked at him in wonder.

"How old are you again?"

"Thirt—Oh, I should be around 14 now."

Axel was about to say 13, but then realized 6 months had gone by while he was recovering. The realization brought another wave of lamentation to him. He wanted to spend these months chilling at Hogwarts.

Zeta sighed. "Aslot was suppose to be an important figure for out Aetherian expansion. Aside from him, you've also killed three other overseers. I don't suppose you have any idea how big of a loss you've caused us? Teritus has been planning this for decades! And we almost succeeded had you not come and ruined everything."

Axel looked at the woman incredulously. He was really triggered by the victim outlook of this woman.

"Excuse me? I was living peacefully at Hogwarts, minding my own business. And you all were on your way to conquering Atlantis. It was you guys who suddenly had the brilliant idea of trying to fuck with me. And you sent two Overseers to boot! 'Bring the boy alive.' Those were your orders , right? Well, here I am now. Do whatever you can!"

Zeta just stood there for a moment, looking stunned. "So, you wouldn't have come to Atlantis had those two not bothered you?"

"Well, no. Not really. My real target is in another world."

Zeta sighed, as if she couldn't believe it. "I'm really sorry that we disturbed your life. But this situation might still be salvageable. You've already had your payback and we no longer have any enmity. So, if you just return the Royal Relic, we'll escort you back to home. And I will personally guarantee that no one from the Kraken will ever bother you."

Axel snorted. "No thanks. I think I'll keep it. And I really liked the Kingdom. So I think I'll keep that too."

"Young man, are you sure? The consequences of your actions can be extremely severe."

The innocent demeanor was slowly fading from Zeta's face. Light magic began revolving around her, looking quite dangerous. "Just listen to me and go away. Or there will be consequences."

"No, YOU listen to me. You guys have already inflicted whatever pains you could have possibly put me through. Ever eaten a [Soul Extinguisher]? I have. And let me tell you, that fucking hurts. So, you guys have already fucked around all you possibly could. Now, it's time to find out just what I do in return. And let me tell you, I haven't even started yet."

Axel. Was. Pissed.

Recalling the Soul Extinguisher still sends shivers right down to his soul, and he has also lost 6 months of his life. His suffering aside, he could only imagine what Daphne Martina and Akiko had thought about his disappearance.

Well, SOMEONE must pay for this. And even after killing Aslot, Axel feels light years away from satisfaction.

Water gathered around him, creating an ominous atmosphere as his eyes glowed blue. "Now, let me give you a chance. You're already on the wrong side. So either die on your own, or let me walk you through it."

This woman was already with Kraken, the Second Overseer at that. Meaning, her goal is to destroy Atlantis, and the other worlds after this. No matter what, Axel is not planning to let her get away.

Light magic began oozing out of Zeta as hair lifted up in the air, revealing her pointed ears. "You should be less confident about fighting an Aetherian Royal in her own territory."

Before the fight even started, the Trident began shaking. "M-My prince, I don't think we should fight."

'Fuck!'

Now everything was making sense!

Atlantis has lasted for so long. There have been wars in the past too, but the Entity's influence has never been as strong as it is now.

Now they know the reason.

This bitch is using her powers to weaken the seal here far before the time of the regular check up, giving the Entity much more room for preparation. Due to that, there was a sudden Rebellion in the Kingdom, in which the King got injured and the queen died. From then on, things have been escalating more and more.

To put it simply, if the whole Atlantis is burning right now, it's this woman who lit the match.

Zeta seemed to like the look of realization on Axel's face as she smiled. "So, now that you know who you're actually facing, it's about time you get defeated."

At once, the roots attacking Axel quadrupled in number. Much more problematic than that, their speed increased to an abnormal degree.

?!

Axel was caught off-guard, having to let a few roots pass through him.

What he didn't expect was for the roots to absorb almost of him, causing to almost die. It was like have a thousands of leeches stuck to your body.

"What the—?!"

[Water Travel]

Axel escaped high into the air, regenerating quickly. He moved again because a light beam passed right where he was. Another one followed him right after.

Zeta was a bit frustrated. "How are you evading them? You should not even be able to see them!" She exclaimed, continuing her attacks.

Axel just grinned. "I suppose your bloodline is just so-so."

Of course he couldn't see the attacks. But he could anticipate when and where she was going to shoot. All he had to do was to evade before she attacked.

"Okay, bitch. My turn."

While evading the laser, Axel flew in, closing the distance. The three blades of Trident elongated, attacking Zeta like three independent knives.

But Zeta, who seems like she'd be blown away with a bit of wind, suddenly showed surprising agility, evading all the blades, her leaf-dress fluttering.

Not on that, a sword of light appeared in her hand, which slashed with speed that even cut the space.

'Super fast reflexes and super physique too?!'

Axel was disliking this bloodline more and more by the minute. Too late to evade, he had to let pass through his body, taking some damage.

"Surprised?" Zeta smirked, continuing her swings.

But all of the following strikes were dodged by Axel. "Yes I was. You have surprisingly small breasts."

Zeta's face fell. At the same time, a fist landed squarely on it, flinging her into the ground. "Couldn't react to that, couldya?"
