Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Disciple

With the skill that allows her to be aware of everything within a fifty meter radius with her at the center, which also allows her to see someone's ability, mana capacity, power, latent potential, ways of fighting, and weaknesses.

Combined with the skill that allows her to store any non living thing in a pocket dimension that no one would be able to know about.

The young half elf half human who was shunned by her kin became the youngest renowned assassin and information broker at the age of 9 and climb up the ranking in the Land of Damnation at the age of 12.

...

Loraine did not struggle to try and break free from the crystalized blood as she already knew who was in front of her.

While she already know he is in a weakened state, fighting someone who is leagues' above her would be too much in a disadvantageous place like the room of a Goddess.

"Long time no see, brat"

Payne said as he chuckled.

"You know her?"

"Yes I do, your grace. I once saved a little girl's life while exploring the world. A brat who was treated as an outcast by society so I taught her how to make a living so that she can survive on her own"

So, basically, Loraine is his student, huh.

But surely there is more than what it sounds like base on why Loraine is not saying anything.

'Do you know anything about this, Red?'

-Unfortunately, no master. My memories will always get erased once I am contracted to another. The only memories I retain are the times I spent with my previous masters.

'That's okay. I'm sorry if I brought up a sensitive matter'

-I do not mind at all, master!

Mel walked forward and squatted down to look at Loraine's face.

"Are you willing to work for me?"

"Why would a Goddess be so interested at someone like me. I am only a-"

Before finishing her excuse, Mel used her skill to generate acid.

Poom, poom.

Droplets of acid started to melt the crystalized blood.

"I am impress to see that you have the courage to lie to a Goddess. How many lives do you have for you to act at such a way, I wonder?"

"What do you want, your holiness?" Loraine asked while bitterly biting her lips.

"Just as I said earlier, I want you to work under me"

"You want me to betray the Goddess of War?"

"Yes. You will benefit more if you are here with me. After all..."

Knock, knock.

"Ah! Just in time!"

The door opened. Darius entered the room.

Upon seeing the man, Loraine trembled in fear as if she was about to faint at any moment.

"He is my newly appointed saint. Although, with your skill you're probably seeing that he is the apostle of the God of Dragons"

"How did you..."

"By the way," With no time to let Loraine process the information that flooded her, Mel said as she points her finger towards Payne "This guy over here is my apostle candidate"

With her skill that also gives her the ability to tell whether someone is lying or not, she deemed that what Mel said was the truth.

"Darius, why don't you tell her what you did just now"

"Understood, your grace" He said with a bright smile.

Darius sat down in front of Loraine and narrated what he did from what Mel ordered him to do.

As he excitedly told Loraine how he burned down three castles and a whole city that was being use to cultivate all sorts of illegal drugs, Payne brought a newly heated tea for Mel.

"That city is one of you country's source of income along with illegal commissions. Not to mention, the first king, Logan Asturias, won't be of much help since he went to Aelius from the spring festival while Murphy, the second king, is somewhere else by the orders of the Goddess you serve"

Hope in Loraine's eyes vanish, devasted with the information that her skill deemed to be true. It crushed the remaining hope she had that the Land of Damnation, the place she sees as her motherland where she can be free, will win by slowly causing mayhem across Lagnos.

"Reality sure is unfair, don't you think so?"

In spite, the cool headedness was toss aside as she yelled, "THE GODDESS OF WAR WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!!!"

She glared at me as she cry.

In return, Mel laughed with a smile that crushed her anger. Her mad expression disappeared as fast as how her hope vanished.

"You really think that Goddess of yours will get mad on behalf of you just because you gave her and her toys some information? Ha! Of course not"

Loraine's skill deemed Mel's words to be true.

"She is a war maniac! She doesn't care about your lives! She just want to see blood splatter across the battlefield!!!"

Loraine's skill deemed Mel's words to be true.

"How do you think the former country of Asturias fell? Of course, it was because she encourage the arrogant king to wage war with Aelius 500 hundred years ago! Which brought the downfall of her very own kingdom"

Loraine's skill deemed Mel's words to be true.

"Believe me, that woman never saw anyone's life as important. You are just pawns for her. Actors on a stage. To entertain her lust for blood"

Loraine's skill deemed Mel's words to be true.

"It is pathetic that you thought that she would avenge you"

Loraine's will and mentality shattered completely. She lost consciousness with her lifeless eyes still open.

"Payne"

The vampire knelt down and bowed as low as he can to hide the ecstatic smile his face has.

"Yes, your grace?"

"Bring her to Lavella. She already knows what to do with her. And since you are my apostle candidate, show me what you can do. Make sure that by the time she wakes up, she will be loyal only to me"

"Understood your grace"

Payne left the room with Loraine on her back.

"Now..."

Mel jumped to her bed.

"Darius~ Amon~ What are you waiting for? Come here!"

Darius who was sitting down on the floor and Amon who was reading a book by the window the whole time smiled and delightedly said, "Understood your grace"
