Black Quantiarch: The Progenitor's Odyssey

Chapter 143: The Abyssal Shadow-Vail Hall [10]


"Who my disciple is?" Evelynn raised her brows.

"To tell you the truth currently he is not anyone important because he is still incomplete. However he is someone you call A Progenitor!~ " She smiled.

"..."

"Yes!~ A real Progenitor that you accepted to assassinate! Shadow-Vail. Unintentional or not! ~ "

Dian just looked at Evelynn — dumbfounded! His mind in shambles! His heart skipping beats erratically.

He was unable to believe what he just heard- No! More like his mind refused to believe in this absurdity.

'A Progenitor.. An actual Progenitor.. I accepted to assassinate a Progenitor.. just for a mere Divine Grade natural resource.. I.. I doomed myself.. ' He shuddered.

"Now!~ it's your turn to answer my questions! Dian. Tell me who was it that issued this kill order on my disciple!~ "

Dian looked at Evelynn!

Trying his very best to answer her but the words just refused to come out of his mouth considering he did not have the satisfactory answer that she was seeking.

Nevertheless Dian took a deep breath and steeled his mind and decided to just go with it. He was already in deep shit where even his life was a big question mark for him! What more could happen..

"I do not know the identity of the person who issued the kill order on your disci- on the progenitor! As it was an anonymous request! My Lady."

"And even though we did not have enough time to investigate that person and learn more about him but I.. I think.. I'll be able to recognize him if I meet him again."

Evelynn furrowed her brows.

"So let me get this straight you're saying! You don't know the identity of the individual who issued this kill order however you can recognize him if you meet him again."

"Do you think this is some kind of joke!~ Are you playing with me by saying a statement that is more like you trying to save your skin. Looks like I've been too lenient on you people! So now you're taking me as a joke!~ "

Evelynn smiled viciously.

"You have one chance shadow!~ Explain to me how you can recognize the anonymous figue who issued this kill order! Otherwise death will be the last thing you would need to worry about!~ "

Dian gulped and his soul shrank in trepidation upon feeling that minuscule amount of aura the Ruinous Calamity released.

It was monstrous and horrifying.

Just that minuscule strand of her aura carried the weight of thousand mountains suppressing his soul.

Dian felt terrified by such a notion.

"Y-Yes! My Lady.. I'm indeed telling the truth." He stuttered in fear!

There was not a single trace of the confidence and assertiveness in his voice that was the direct reflection of his pride.

In fact his pride and arrogance has completely shattered. He sounded nothing like the leader that everyone else knew him to be.

Considering Dian finally understood why The Vampire before him was hailed as A Disaster! A Calamity on feeling that single strand of her aura.

He realized just how big of a gulf was there between his strength and hers. Therefore he explained like the weak bastard he was..

"I can really recognize that individual if I meet him again! My Lady. Because even though that person used a strange artifact to conceal his aura, mask his figure and obscure the signature of his magical energy but whatever this artifact was it was unable to conceal the reflection of his shadow from my senses."

"Therefore I-I can indeed recognize him through his shadow and that is also how I know that.. that Divine is also only in the first level of the Divine Phase! My Lady."

Evelynn blinked.

Looks like this shadow was telling the truth.

The fluctuations of his energy was stable the whole time he explained himself so there was no doubt that he was speaking truthfully.

"A Level 1 Divine! Huh? How many third phase existences are there in Elytheria who are also in there first level of the phase." Evelynn spoke aloud.

"I don't think there are more than twenty-seven such existences in Elytheria! My Lady. And that is only if you count the few Divine's from the other world's that are in Elytheria." Dian answered without missing a beat.

Evelynn narrowed her eyes at him in scrutiny.

It was really beyond her what this person who had the nigh perfect characteristics of successfully becoming someone's secretary was doing here in the assassination profession.

She was really feeling enticed to take him under her wing.

'He could become my first subordinate and being a Divine on top of his formal attitude. This spirit certainly fits the criteria to become my subordinate.'

Evelynn supposed that she could transform this assassination organization into some information gathering organization.

As Evelynn was also pretty clear about the fact that there were very high chances of Elytheria becoming a war zone in the upcoming future.

The Divine's in the other world's wouldn't stay silent when the information regarding Black's identity reaches them.

They would surely do everything within there power either to eliminate or befriend The Progenitor.

She was hundred percent certain about this! A good example for this was how the Divine's in her own home world behaved.

Therefore in such a chaotic future a strong information network that is thoroughly loyal to her was a must and would be very beneficial in identifying who will be there friend and foe.

As she certainly cannot afford to have the progenitor be killed by the very people he trusted! She trusted.

Considering if that happened than it would absolutely spell certain doom for both her and Elytheria.

"Um. My Lady I know that there is no forgiveness for the sin that I've committed and for that I'm perfectly willing to offer my life without any resistance.. just.. Uh.. "

Dian gritted his teeth and still continued despite knowing that he wasn't in any position to be demanding thing and that there was no point in him resisting or not.

"All I ask.. in return form you is.. but a one pardon, just a single act of forgiveness, for you to be merciful and please.. please spare my two siblings and do not take there lives too! My... My Lady."

Evelynn looked at him! She could see the desperation in his eyes and the helplessness in his voice.

Her lips curled into a manipulative smile! After listening to his words and feeling the emotions within them!

There was no doubt that he would make a very good subordinate.

Evelynn finally made up her mind with a inward nod of approval and at last decided to take this Shadow-Vail Spirit under her wing.

Furthermore to ensure his absolute loyalty to her! She decided to play a little game with him..

"Alright!~ " Evelynn nodded. "I'll spare your two siblings life and would take your life in exchange.. in fact I wouldn't even kill you.. "

When Dian heard Evelynn's first sentence his heart was so overcome with joy that he could not even describe how good he felt for successfully saving his two siblings in exchange for his life.

However when he heard her next sentence he immediately became dumbfounded! Not understanding what the calamity was trying to do..

"But.. "

His breath hitched. 'What but bitc- No! No! No!.' He shuddered. Of course he wanted to live but why was this calamity edging him like this.

He nearly had his whole life flash before his very eyes from her single 'but'.
