"Why are you hesitating? Do it… kill me, mortal."
"What the hell happened to you?! Why are you a woman all of a sudden?!"
"Hm?" The Red Primordial looked at her body, noticing her naked appearance, "Ah, this is my true form."
"Your true form…?"
"Yes." She stood up from the ground, uncovering her chest, "The Fox form that you saw was me utilizing my full power. Whenever I am in battle, I take on that transformation to either scare my opponents to death from my overwhelming presence or to fight at full potential to take my opponents down."
Crimson lowered his moonblade from the air, resting it on his shoulder, "Man…" He scratched his chin, looking to the side, "Maybe if you were in that fox form, it would be easy to kill you, but as of right now… I'm having trouble."
"What do you mean by that?" Asked the primordial.
"I mean… I'm having trouble striking you down with those big tits bouncing around the place!!" Crimson pointed at her chest, blushing from the sight, "Put those melons away, goddamnit!!"
"Ah!" She looked down at her breasts, cupping them in both hands and jiggling them up and down, "Are these your weaknesses? Truly?"
"Stop playing with them—give me a break!" Crimson looked away, covering his eyes, "Sure I may want an imperial army of girls, but I still show respect!"
"Then… how about I join you, Crimson Argonaut."
"Wait… what?"
"Yes, how about I join your army? You defeated me in battle—my purpose no longer remains. I was to defeat my enemies to prove why I'm one of the strongest creations of Terra, but I failed. You defeated me and took away my purpose. I am no longer the strongest, thus… I have no meaning in life."
Crimson looked at her with a worried expression, responding, "Hey, try not to talk down on yourself. You're strong, you could've easily beaten me if you weren't so damn cocky about that Primeval Red thing."
"I could?"
"Hell yeah, you could've. If anything, it's your personality that made you lose! Your strength is enough to beat me on its own, but your personality stood in the way and stripped you of that chance."
"I see." She lowered her head, wiggling her Fox ears, "Then… can you teach me how to be a better person?"
"…" Crimson grew silent, storing away the moonblade and crossing his arms, "Hmm…" He closed his eyes, tapping his foot on the ground, "Teach you, huh?" He continued tapping his foot, peeking through his eyelids to stare at her breasts, "Teach…you…huh?"
"Yes, teach me! With your help, I can grow! It's you who figured out my weakness, therefore, it's only logical that I learn from someone like you!"
"Alright, I'll teach you, only if you answer my question."
"Yes, ask me anything!"
"You're one of the four primordial's. Each primordial exists on a different continent. You exist here, on the South Continent, while the others exist on the other three. Your purpose is to eliminate all threats that could destroy Terra, so tell me, what will happen if you stray away from that path?"
The Red Primordial widened their eyes, coming to the realization of Crimson's question.
Their tail curled inwards, and their ears hung low.
She responded with, "I don't know. Whatever happens from now on is up to fate… and Lady Terra's will."
"I see." Crimson nodded his head, "It's only logical to assume that Terra will hate you for straying away from your purpose, so she's bound to attack you one way or another."
"Indeed, you're right, I have to be careful."
"Yeah, but I can protect you." Said the smirking Crimson, "And teach you how to be strong!"
The Fox woman lifted her brows, baffled by his words, "Why do you trust me so much exactly? I tried to kill you a moment ago."
Crimson would hit his chest, winking, "It's because you have potential, and you wanna continue living. Despite taking your loss, you wish to find a purpose in life—so I'll be that purpose, and guide you."
The Red Primordial blushed… covering her ears with both hands.
"Oh… I see. No one has ever said that to me before."
"Well, I'm one of a kind."
"Hehe, yes, you're, Lord Crimson."
"Who are you calling lord?" An unfamiliar voice would speak from behind them, catching their attention.
"Who the hell?!" Crimson turned around, seeing three other individuals.
One of them appeared to be a humanoid dragon with yellow scales and a dragonoid head, "I am The Yellow Primordial, Amber." Their voice was feminine, as was their looks.
"And I'm The Green Primordial, Jade." The other had the appearance of a humanoid cat. Their ears were feline, and their tail was shaded in black and green stripes. Their nails appeared long and razor-sharp, as were their fangs.
"I am The Blue Primordial, Indigo." The last one looked the same as The Red Primordial, but instead of nine tails, he only had one that was shaded in blue and white stripes. They had a crescent symbol also implanted on their forehead, along with the other primordials next to them.
("These guys… they're on another level, I can't win, not by myself.") Crimson took a step back, stretching his arm to the side, "Hey… stay by me, red."
"Oh? Is that the name you gave her? Red? How cute." A voice was heard next to Crimson, it was the Blue Primordial.
He was too fast, nobody could perceive him.
"Shit!" Crimson braced for an attack but was too late.
His face was filled with dread the moment he could feel claw marks all over his body. From his front, back, sides, and even head. He tried resisting all the attacks at once, but fell to his knees, coughing up blood, "Couhhh!!" He puked most of the blood out, falling flat on his face, "Damnit…"
"How could you lose to such a pest, Carmine?" Indigo approached the red primordial, grasping her wrist, "Now we must meet with Mother Terra and relay this information to her. You're in a lot of trouble!"
"No, stop it!" Carmine, The Red Primordial, tugged away, balling up her fists, "Heal him right now!"
"What? Have you gone mad?!" Cried Indigo.
"Showing feelings for a Mortal, how disappointing, Carmine." Said the Yellow Primordial, Amber.
"Even after I tried killing him, he was willing to spare me and teach me. No other humanoid would've ever done such a thing! They would've struck me down without a second thought!"
"Nyaaaah~!" The Green Primordial, Jade, stretched her arms above her head, yawning, "Carmine is really delusional isn't she?"
"I am not! I mean it! He was willing to spare me!"
"Are you mad, sister? You're willing to trust a mortal scum such as he?!" Shouted indigo
"Hey… jackass… watch your mouth…" Crimson held his stomach, looking up at Indigo, "That "scum" you just mentioned… can beat your ass if he was at full power."
"You… simpleton." Indigo lifted his foot, stomping Crimson's head into the ground.
"Gah!!"
"Watch the way you speak to me, mortal. You and your kind are nothing but pains in our backside; dealing with your antics, and greedy behavior. Every single day, we Primordial's must ensure the safety of the continent we reside on from you foolish souls."
"Ensure… the safety of continents? I thought your only purpose was to eliminate threats to Terra." Asked the pummeled Crimson.
"Yes, that is one of our reasons for existing. However, did you not question why you were brought into Carmine's biome the moment you teleported into the South Continent?" Asked indigo.
"…?" Crimson went quiet, waiting for the answer.
"It's simple. Powerful players who show malicious intent are bound to enter a Primordial's domain, and it's our job to kill those who emanate such malice, like you and your friend, Minegishi."
"So… that's why?!" Crimson suddenly remembered.
The whole reason they were angry was because of Lucienne.
Crimson and Minegishi showed malicious intent to stop Lucienne from destroying most of the South Continent… but it doesn't make sense.
Why wasn't Lucienne also brought into a primordial domain?
She was the one mainly showing anger and feelings to cause a rampage.
But she was probably kidding the whole time… and only wanted them to follow her into Lucifer's castle.
"Damnit!" Shouted Crimson, hitting the ground, "Lucienne… you asshat!"
"Hm? Lucienne?" Asked Indigo.
"It's none of your business… but I guess it makes sense. Though, answer me this one question, if you guys kill powerful players who show malicious intent, then how the hell do wars start?"
Jade, Indigo, and Amber suddenly frowned at his question.
"It's because of those damn Great Kings…" Said Amber, balling her fists.
"They have the power to seal us away, and prevent us from doing our job…" Responded Jade.
"That's why wars usually start, because of them. They're misfits, not meant for this world." Proclaimed Indigo.
"I see, so that's why it's dangerous for two powerful players to cause destruction to the planet, it makes a lot of sense." Said Crimson, "Tsk… I guess that means I'm screwed, huh?"
"No, don't kill him, brother!" Carmine tugged on Indigo's hand, pulling him off.
"Carmine, stop showing sentiment for this mortal! It's our job to kill powerful players who could potentially destroy most of Terra's body! This boy, Crimson, could have plans to lay waste to the entire South Continent! If he does that, then Mother Terra will permanently destroy you for failing to do your job and protecting the planet."
"So that's it. Terra kills angry powerful players because of the risk of annihilation? Hahaha—I should add this to the history books."
They all turned around, facing the ominous voice.
"Are you… Lucifer?" Asked Indigo.
"Yeah, I am, but as of right now, I'm feeling like Satan. So which one of you should I kill first?"
"We have to leave." Said the Green Primordial.
"…Damnit!" Amber, Jade, and Indigo would huddle up together, "Don't think this is over!" They proceeded to vanish from the South Continent.
