Chapter 355: Heading Off To Emperor Cockoff's Castle

....

If summed up in one word, the Twenty First Floor was like a 'Paradox'a paradox that existed as something unique but also not unique.

It was a hard concept to grasp, and the way that such a place was formed was an even more convoluted topic, but regardless of all the oddities of the Twenty First Floor, it was still home to trillions of monsters!

Trillions of monsters that barely anyone in Asterion even knew existed...

And yet they did.

Furthermore, not only did they 'exist', but they thrived and developed like a highly advanced civilization.

There were spaceships and weird-looking land vehicles traveling all across the hundreds of millions of miles that made up the Twenty-First Floor. And in those vehicles, monsterkin of every variety went about their days, heading in a plethora of different directions.

The Twenty First Floor truly would be a safe haven for all races alike!

As long as you weren't a human, that was

"Aaah! Pl-Please spare me!"

"I don't want to die! My home was completely destroyed! Was that not enough for you monsters!?"

"My Daughter! P-Please give me back, my daughter She's all I have!"

Cries and screams echoed throughout the lands of a certain populated section on the Twenty-First Floor as humans were being transported in carriages through gates that connected to the Twentieth Floor.

Millions of humans were coming in through the gates, all in varying states, but all of them had one thing in common: And that was the despair and anguish etched across their muddied and bloodied faces.

"..." "..." "..."

And outside such a large movement of human 'goods', a few cloaked figures were watching with neutral looks on their faces.

The cloaked figures varied in size, and the smallest of them suddenly stepped forward, as her soft and meek voice was heard:

However, after her questions were done and over with, there was someone else who decided to chide in.

|Azmond! Does this mean we have to wait to go to that sweets shop we saw the other day!?| Boundless exclaimed while on top of Azmond's back.

*Squish Squish*

Those two soft and squishy pillows never stopped rubbing up against Azmond, but he had already acquired a tolerance for them after so long, so he simply responded, "Yep, that means you have to wait."

Boundless's expression puffed up before she said, |Y-You big baka! I won't give you any 'special treatment' at the next hotel we go to! Humph!|

"..." Azmond heard what she said as he thought over his options before he eventually gave in and announced, "Change of plan, everyone. We're going to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory before we head out to Cockoff's castle."

Boundless's eyes brightened up at such an announcement, as she melted even further into his back and said, |Thank you, Azmond! I Love you so so so much~!|

Her face snuggled up on his, as she was beyond elated over hearing such good news!

Everyone watched Azmond get so easily coerced by the brown-haired ghost lady, as they weren't even surprised anymore.

The only people that seemed to be capable of completely moving him when and wherever they felt like were Boundless, Emu, and Calista.

As for the rest of them, they had to work for a choice on the matter.

But regardless of the woes of the rest of the group, Emu felt like adding something in as well, so it wiggled out of katana form and landed on the ground.

"Mhmu! Mhmu!" Emu chirped while bobbing in front of Azmond.

"What is it, little buddy?"

"Mhmu! Mhmu!" 'Eat!!'

"...You want some chocolate too?"

"Mhmu! Mhmu!" Emu confirmed with shining eyes.

'It looks like we really are going to that chocolate factory before we go and 'visit' Cockoff's castle,' Azmond thought with a wry smile.
