I look unto him shocked by the revelation, I was baffled at the thought, "Lilu the Lord of Nightmares", "The anointed One", and "The Great Messenger", these phrases were the phrases I kept hearing over and over again.
Yes, it was inevitable, truly inevitable, I know I hail from a higher species of intern dimensional origin, and one even great than even this one, and yet it would appear that the hands of destiny, a perpetual moving machine that is fate beckons me for something greater.
My thought was all over the place, as I enter a depth of heavy and deep thinking, wondering how to act from here on out.
Meanwhile, the old men look at me, awaiting my reply to his story, my eyes fall on him shortly after as I commented.
"Desedoma?!"
"Yes my lord, how may I help you?"
He commented immediately, gazing at me with eyes filled with dedication.
"You say the Gospel can foretell the future right?"
"Hmm. Yes and No, honestly Not really, it's more like a guide to reach the desired result of the user, till now I followed every order to a 'T' never wavering of how inhumane some of the instructions might be."
"A desired result ha, well good enough give it to me?!"
"..."
Upon ordering him, Desedoma look at me, I couldn't read him at all, I can't tell if he was angry, or if he was mad, but he complied nevertheless, as he use his telekinesis to guide and made the book fly my way.
Right after it came into my vicinity, I grab it and began to open it to unravel the mysteries of its pages.
However!
"Ha. What is this?...
I ask confused by the sight before me, to which Desedoma raised his head and comments.
"After multiple research with Lilu Gospel, it appears only I can use it, to me I see blood-filled words written on the skin like pages of that fleshy book, but to others, all they see is a white book with a hardcover and normal pages with no content on it."
When I heard this I gaze at Desedoma and said.
"Is that so?"
"Yes my lord, I think it would be better if you saw it for yourself. I didn't want to disobey your orders, so I comply."
"Smart move I guess, either way though, here hold this," I commented as I tossed the white book back to Desedoma which he catch mid-air with the use of his telekinesis.
From there he places the book back into a safe, behind the portrait of him in his younger days. He then gazes upon me once more and comments as such.
"So what now my lord, would you like more information?"
I think for a while, and began to wonder what my next move should be, it was clear going outside for the time being was a big no seeing I'm being targeted by that Scarlet pervert.
Then and again, I was also feeling hungry.
'This is bad, I need to eat something soon, however, this old man is a walking encyclopedia, I could eat him right now, however, he still has so many uses, hmm... Maybe I should test his loyalty.'
With this in mind, I gaze over to Desedoma, as I said to him.
"By the way, Desedoma do you have anything to eat?"
"I presume the flesh of another?"
"Oh, so you were also aware of that as well, yes unlike you my diet consists of the raw flesh of the living, do you have anything I can devour, seeing that you are already aware of my unique taste."
"Of course, I have been cultivating only the greatest meat for you my lord, shall I take you to the dungeon beneath the manner, there you would meet a variety of delicacies waiting for you."
I smile at this, so far this old man was proving to be competent and useful, so I gaze at him and said.
"Well then please lead the way... It's been a while since I took a bite of anything, and after I have my fill we shall continue our conversation on the topic of variants and rankings, I could use the help after all."
"With pleasure my lord."
With those words said, Desedoma began to move his wheelchair via the use of his telekinesis, pushing himself across the room, even watching him now I could tell this power via the use of (T.O.N) was his most use, seeing he uses it for everyday life, who could blame though telekinesis was useful as hell.
We of course exited his office as he began to lead the way down the hall, and like I previously said before this place was large, the halls were all adorned by meager decorations such as a vase here and there, with some portraits, and other decorations.
The accursed light of the Scarlet moon shines vividly through the windows, and of course, the feeling of being watched never ends, this invasion of privacy would not do, so I look at Desedoma and said.
"Desedoma if I'm going to stay here please have Rose put up curtains ahead of time, to block out that accursed thing you guys call the moon."
"Most certainly my lord, however, you seem to be bothered by the Scarlet moon, could it be that you can sense the presence of the Scarlet Wonder?"
Desedoma asks me in amazement to which respond.
"Yeah, something like that... I do want to know thought why am I being targeted by this thing?"
I asked Desedoma in annoyance, after all, nobody likes being watched, for one I am not a fan of a voyeur.
"It's your intentions my lord, the Scarlet wonder is a complex Draconic beast created by the person who made this place to imprison the dark Goddess once revered as the mother of a thousand Youngs, it can detect the intentions of those who want to free dark Goddess and it will stop at nothing to obliterate, or cast out those who desire to free her from her seal."
"I see, so this thing was man-made after all?"
"Yes my lord, to be honest, this entire place is a vaccine zone, it was created 1,893 years ago, by the Good Dr. Mephisto, to seal and potentially kill the great mother."
"Why so, why go through all this trouble to make such a complex creature to seal a single woman?" I asked baffled by the thought of Mephisto's actions.
'If this place could make even Khaos impress, then without a doubt Mephisto is no simple man.'
I said to myself baffled at the creation of this place, however, I needed more answers, I need to know for what reason the great-mother had to be sealed, so I ask Desedoma to explain further.
"Tell me why this Mephisto character, goes to such great lengths to seal the great mother?"
The answer I got from him baffled me as he said.
"The mother of thousands of young, The mother of darkness, The sore of life, The star of plague, The Goddess of the Black Woods, The Lachubripohen Nigurathas, all of these are the monikers of the woman you are after, she is a very dangerous individual."
"Admittingly. I have seen what catastrophe she can bring to this world, even after her sealing she almost causes the extinction of the Dragonkin, even the person who seals her has claimed she almost ended the world on several different occasions in the ancient past, so much so, there was a time when the world unite as one to stop her, however, she could never die no matter how hard they try."
Desedoma spoke in a casual tone, as he could recall a distant past when the Stygian plagues destroy the people of the village.
However, he was soon knocked out of his thought when his lord said such.
"So she is that powerful, I see, I'm guessing Mephisto seal her because she was causing too much chaos in the world, understandable however I need to reach her regardless of such power either way my mate is in trouble, I don't care if she brought upon the world end, however, I also need her cooperation to have my children, I only need a couple thousand to move on to phase two of the invasion, if she fails to cooperate well, I will just build myself a wife using her initial body parts."
Desedoma didn't reply if anything he just listing carefully, maybe there could be other ways he could help his lord even further.
However, as time goes on he did comment to me as such.
"By the way my lord, I do have something important to give you."
With those words said I look at Desedoma as a weird black box with flesh tendrils that were encrypted with ancient writing suddenly emerge from his cloak.
Just looking at it could feel a dark power similar to the Scarlet wonder gaze coming from it, of course, I look at Desedoma and question.
"What is this demonic atrocity Desedoma?"
The answer he gave me filled me with joy, and shock at the same time.
"This my lord is an ancient artifact forged from one of the ribs of Mephisto it's called the Nubagratha key, there exists a total of ten, and each key is necessary as it's the only way to free the great mother from her seal."
Upon hearing this, I smile with sudden glass as I grab it without even thinking twice my eye were glued to the key as I said to Desedoma.
"Where can I find the rest?"
