Chapter 96: A new fragment

Chapter 96: A new fragment

The sky became clear after 2 days of rain and the dim twin moon appeared in the sky full of twinkling stars. The dim moonlight glimmered on the balcony.

"Master, why is the jewellery shop owner sitting above our balcony with invisibility?"

The dark guardian flinched to hear his words and decided to come out of his shadow. Unlike his normal shopkeeper appearance, he looked like someone else that had a long tail like a devil and two horns on his head. The sharp claws of his fingers were so polished that they reflected the warm light of the burner.

He was a demon with four wings on his back.

But none of them was surprised to see his different form. His devilish appearance didn't make them scared or frustrated. Instead, they offered a plate full of tasty meat to him.

"You guys, aren't you scared of me?"

Adonis gobbled up two hotdogs so his master could give him more and said, "You look like a kawkoi from my hometown."

"Wait, how do you know about kawkoi? They went extinct nine hundred years ago. Wait, why are you talking so casually with me? Do you know who I am?"

Viktor looked at his sharp pointy tail and said, "Will you change your peculiar form, please? There are eyes around us. It will be a matter of time before they spot you and take you into custody."

"Oh... sorry."

He transformed into his old shopkeeper appearance and took a seat to talk with him. He wasn't sure about his identity but his body language and the way he casually talked seemed to be safe.

"You erased some moments from my memory right?"

"Yes, because you rejected my offer. And I don't trust you."

The shopkeeper felt a little uncomfortable in that situation. So he asked, "Can you at least tell me what information you erased from my memory? I promise I won't tell anyone."

"Why are you acting like a child? I just told you that you rejected my offer and I can't have anyone who's from outside walking around with my information."

"I don't have anyone to talk about any secrets though?"

Viktor knew he had nobody to talk to but still, he wasn't sure after seeing his 3 different futures.

On one path, he decided to stay silent and live his life after hearing about his real identity.

The second path he chooses leads to the dragon guardian where he teamed up with him. Both of them choose the option to hand over Viktor to heaven's guardian to go back to the Guardian realm.

And the last one with a 20% probability where he chooses to follow Viktor.

So, he wasn't sure whether he should tell him again or not.

"Aren't you going to tell me?" The dark guardian asked.

"I don't trust you."

Welis became impatient because of his words.

"Tsk!! Come on! Why aren't you trusting me? It's not like I'm going to take advantage of it?"

Viktor saw the U-turn of his prophecy after Welis said that he won't take advantage of him. The future changed in only one way.

He will team up with the dragon guardian no matter what Viktor's answers were. So, Viktor was left with one choice. He put his plate besides the burner and said, "Adonis, capture him."

Both of them vanished in a millisecond after Viktor ordered to capture him. Without moving a single leaf, Adonis dashed towards him where he was heading to. Even though he was the guardian of the dark, he was no match for Adonis' speed.

After Viktor sealed his destruction curse, Adonis thought that he was unable to use the power. But when Viktor told him the seal wasn't something that stops his power, he became aware of his actual power. It was a seal that controls his power, not stops it.

He became stronger than he was before because of the control seal.

"How are you keeping with my speed? Are you a guardian!!!"

But Adonis didn't answer his question. He was so excited that he had a huge smile on his face. He was running as if he was hunting his prey.

"Ugh! Come on!! Why are you chasing me? Do you really work for that weakling master of yours? You're far stronger than he is!! Why don't you just stop and work with me? I will treat you better than he does!!" n.-OvelB1n

The expression of Adonis' changed. Instead of running on the roof, he used floating magic that his master taught and started to fly at him. Welis was dumbfounded.

"You can fly???"

He started to fly as well to run away as fast as he could but Adonis' strength was on a different level.

Adonis is a descendant of the guardian of lush who was married to a demon lord that lived more than thousands of years ago. Her guardian fragment was divided into so many pieces that it nearly became extinct. But when Adonis was born, the lost guardian fragment woke up again and took the form of a different type of power. But his body wasn't enough to handle the pressure so the fragment wasn't able to take a proper form. It became a failed fragment that can't control its true strength.

So, he became the demon of destruction that has the strength of a guardian but with terrible luck.

But after Viktor created a special seal for his fragment, he was able to control his strength freely as he wished and decided to follow his master forever.

"Hey! Are you still going to follow me? I'm getting tired of it! And what did I even do to you!!"

"You insulted my master a few minutes ago and I am just following my master's order."

"Leave me alone!!!"

"Just stop moving so that I can catch you and present you to my master. I'm hungry."

Adonis looked around and saw that he had already left Navaka after flying for 10 minutes. So he cast binding magic to catch him and put him straight into his empty dimension pocket. It was his mobile prison.

"Hum. My work is done here. My body also feels great after working out for a long time. I wonder if my master has saved some hotdogs for me..."

He immediately teleported to Viktor's balcony and saw a pile of food Viktor made. It was his treat after catching the criminal.

Viktor put out the burner with water and asked, "Did you catch him?"

"Yes, master. He can't leave my domination prison even if he's a heaven guardian. He's struck inside of it."

"So what are we waiting for? Eat this up and open the door. I want to have a conversation with him."

Adonis opened the door to his dimension room and saw there was nobody. But Viktor's eyes were fixed on the dead empty body of Elena. She had a black book above his head.

Oh my heaven...!

"Master, I am absolutely sure that I caught him. And nobody can exit this place."

"No, he's inside. He wasn't able to exit this place, but he entered somewhere."

Viktor walked closer to Elena and grabbed her hair to ask, "Oi, I know you're in there. So talk before I smack the eyes out of you."

"Wait! Wait! Let go of my hair! It hurts!! Aaaaa!!"

"Ptff!!! Hahahahahah!! Oh my goodness!!! Oh my lord!!!"

Viktor burst into laughter to hear his feminine voice. He was sucked into the empty soul body after Adonis put him in prison.

"Hey, man stop laughing!! Can't you see I'm suffering from enormous pain all over my body? And why can't I use my guardian fragment? Tell me what is happening to my body!"

"You used escaping magic through the closest way, right?"

"How did you know about that magic?"

"Adonis had an empty soul body in his prison room. So when you used the magic, your magic detected the body as an exit and took you inside of it. Since it was an empty body, it craved for a soul and you walked right into it. So, the body absorbed you like water and voila. Congratulations on becoming a lady.. kekekeeeke!!!"

"Master, I feel his fragment is still floating inside the room."

"Oh, yes. His fragment couldn't get out because it was inside a dimension room.

Viktor raised both of his hands and created a path for the floating fragment into his body. It immediately detected the path and quickly merged into his fragment soul. He could feel the connection to every shadow near and afar. His body didn't change but he saw the change of his core fragment after collecting another fragment. A new section of records was opened in his library.

He became more powerful than before.

"What did you do to my fragment? Tell me!"

"I took it since your body rejected it as its worthy owner. Moreover, you should think about your new body. It's a human body that will probably live for 40 years."

Welis fainted after he heard it was a mortal human's body and he will only live for 40 years.
