Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: The ball disaster

A beautiful young lady wearing a black laced mask enters a huge ballroom while holding onto her date arm with a gentle smile on both of their faces. The young lady's dress looked like a gothic Egyptian doll, her light brown skin glowed from years of being taken good care of.

She had many red butterflies on her dress and her hair was tied up into a high ponytail and curled. The man had his hair curled similarly to the girl, his chocolate color skin tone matched the beautiful curly black locks he would usually have put away into a man bun.

He wore a dark blue suit and a tailcoat with a few blue flowers covering his coat. He had distinctive orange color eyes that gave you a harmless impression once you stare into his orange pools.

His curly black locks of hair reached his shoulders, this was an unusual hairstyle in the country. Many pairs of eyes watched their every move carefully as the two who walked with grace approached a golden hair male that has greenish-purple eyes.

The foreign noble raised his hand till midway to his stomach with a ninety-degree bow paying his respects to this land nobility. The blue hair young lady curtsy with her head lower, the blonde-haired archduke smile was like that of a ghost.

"Duke Ambers and Lady Smallwood I welcome you both to my ball," the Arch Duke said in a polite tone before dismissing them both for the next group of individuals. Duke Ambers and Dyllis walked off to the side to converse with nobles.

The wendigo shaman stayed and chat with the nobles in a bubbly tone after an hour of getting to know them she excuse herself to go to the lady's room. A ghost of a smile graces her plump dark red lips.

'Training with Tobca has paid off, I wish I had been able to attend this ball with her though' the shaman chuckled lightly in amusement, she wonders around the halls. That was till she had bumped into the archduke solid chest.

She looked up and faked her surprise "I am sorry archduke for walking into you" she gave him her best apologetic look she could muster and curtsy. The archduke furrow his sword eyebrows at her "All is forgiven my lady. May I ask why you are wondering my estate?" he toss her a questioning look.

"I am looking for the ladies' room but so far I haven't spotted any servants to guide me to one" she replied with a secretive smile of hers, the archduke looked at her with puzzlement lacing his beautiful greenish-purple orbs.

"I can lead you to one of the guest's bathrooms my lady" he offer out his arm and the shaman gladly took his arm in her own 'Wendigo fever' she cast the magic over him, it didn't take effect immediately.

He proceeds to escort her to the bathroom before leaving her be to go do her business, she spent around ten minutes before heading back to the ballroom where chaos erupted. The archduke became malnourished and more animalistic, he tore apart his guests.

The shaman ran towards duke Amber "Lord Amber we should escape before that deranged archduke gets his claws on us!" Dyllis tugged Duke amber towards her and picked him up and ran out of the estate while holding the foreign duke like a sack of potatoes.

Luckily she had made it to the foreign duke before the archduke of this in the kingdom had killed him, can't have a full-out war starting.

Once she had made it far away enough from the archduke manor the shaman place down Duke Ambers "My lord you may want to hop into your carriage and head to the next city or town to escape the virus" she told the kind duke who has been nothing but a gentleman to her some friendly advice.

He smiled at her and left the city with the fear for his own life, Dyllis stretched her limbs and sluggishly walked back into the archduke estate. To be honest, Dyllis was glad he didn't ask much about the "Virus" that has been going around driving people mad.

Well, that was the kingdom cover story, they have yet to find out the main source of the "Virus" and that has only made the shaman work a bit easier. The kingdom didn't dare send their knight over to the infected towns afraid that their forces will get infected as well.

The infected towns are non-other than the towns the wendigo shaman had taken over in her pursuit of balancing out the energy of goods and evils. The very few citizens that have to escape were taken immediately into rooms to help prevent the virus.

Dyllis has been playing with her magic and found out she can condense wendigo fever into a dark mana ball and implant them into people's bodies and then activate her skill where ever the individual was.

She didn't do that to Duke amber as her goal was only to take over the country she has been living in for the past two years. And if her goal wasn't complete by taking over this kingdom she would start evading other countries as bodies of the fallen would feed her army of wendigos.

Dyllis walked into the estate and received a notification "Host has successfully turned an archduke into her subordinate. Rewards are as follows 2,500 system points, Pill of the Shaman. Opening her eyes wider than saucers she expressed her shock "So many system points…" her body shook from excitement.

"System what does Pill of the shaman do?" Dyllis the wendigo shaman asked with curiosity, the system replied shortly after.

Pill of the Shaman: This pill will be given to the host successor, the one who gets the pill doesn't have to be blood-related. This pill will give the successor all of the powers that the host had before their timer is up.

"So my hunch is right if the system is giving me this pill now it means I will cease to exist soon" Dyllis looked up at the cloudy sky with tear-filled eyes.
