Chapter 835: Joined At The Hips



"We thank Her Excellency for her praise, but we weren't the ones who held back the Invaders from World's End," the Queen of the Drows said in a respectful tone. "It was these Humans and their comrades who faced off against the Monster Invasion. When we arrived, the battle was already over."

"I see..." Lady Hecate nodded. "Even so, well done. Regardless of the result, all of you still reacted quickly to defend our world from the Invaders. Your intention itself is commendable."

Hecate then shifted her gaze to Godfrey, who was also facing her and kneeling like a knight.

"Son of Vlad, I didn't think that we would see each other again," Lady Hecate said.

"I had the same thought, Your Excellency," Godfrey replied with a smile. "But these Humans defeated me in battle, and according to our contract, I was to escort them here to World's End to see you."

"Train more, son of Vlad," Lady Hecate stated. "Dark times are up ahead. You need to ensure that you will not lose again so easily."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Understood, Your Excellency." Godfrey bowed respectfully.

The Progenitor of Magic then shifted her gaze to the young lady, who was currently trapped in a block of ice.

Her gaze pierced through Nicole's heart, which had been frozen in ice.

"It seems that today is a day for the reunions of friends, both new and old," Lady Hecate commented the moment she saw the Fallen Angel of Ice and Hail inside Nicole's heart.

A moment later, she once again shifted her gaze to the Half-Elf, who had come to see her after hundreds of years.

"I don't know if you came at the right or the wrong time, but since you are already here, does that mean that HE is that person?" Lady Hecate asked.

"Yes," Hecate replied. "He is Ethan Gremory."

The Progenitor of Magic narrowed her eyes as she gazed at the unconscious young man, unraveling the secrets that he possessed.

A few seconds later, the corner of her lips rose into a faint smile as if she saw something very amusing.

'I see. So he is Ashmedai's prized follower,' Lady Hecate thought. 'Interesting.'

"The Blood God managed to breach Hecate's turf and sent his minions to cross to Midgard," Ashmedai commented. "How was the damage?"

"They didn't manage to gain a proper foothold," Vlad replied. "According to the Watcher, Ethan and his group dealt with them."

"Oh?" Ashmedai slowly propped himself up from the ground and dusted himself off. "It seems that my people saved the day."

"They did, but at a price," Vlad said. "According to the Watcher, Ethan has lost consciousness, and his comrades were greatly exhausted after the battle. They have now been taken inside of Hecate's Domain. Who knows what will happen inside it? Aren't you worried?"

"No," Ashmedai replied in a heartbeat.

"Are you sure?" Vlad arched an eyebrow. "Hecate can see through a person's soul and a portion of their Fate. Aren't you worried that she will discover Ethan's secret?"

"Oh, she will." Ashmedai smirked. "But, I'm not worried."

"... Just where is that confidence of yours coming from?"

"Unlike me, Hecate is a very emotional person. She might always look aloof, but she is way more merciful than you and me combined."

Vlad pondered a bit before nodding his head.

"If you think he is in danger, you wouldn't have allowed him to meet her in the first place," Vlad said.

"Exactly," Ashmedai replied. "However, there is still an eency weency chance that she will change her mind. She is very curious by nature, so she might want to dissect Ethan a bit."

"Isn't that a problem?" Vlad asked.

"It is," Ashmedai answered. "But it is also fun this way. Isn't it exciting? Will Hecate honor her word for a promise she made hundreds of years ago, or will she ignore it and tinker with an interesting specimen that will not be easy to come by again."

"I pity your people," Vlad commented. "I'm sure they have no idea how insane their Patron

is."

Ashmedai laughed out loud because he found Vlad's words very true.

But it was already too late for the Valentin Family to do anything because they had long been joined at the hips with Ashmedai.
