Chapter 315: I will dance with you, Alexander!

The Fallen Goddess' Marriage Ring.

Elias Deathwill used this item to teleport between continents. This treasure also allowed him to invade other realms, whose existence and levels matched Elias Deathwill, if not topped him.

In the end, he was a lone human with powerful skills. His loyal dogs could barely be his lackeys, strong enough only on mere low-level continents.

"What's happening?" Elias Deathwill muttered as he felt a familiar energy billowing into something out of his reach.

He took out a sword, not from his inventory but a soul.

The sword looked majestic. Its blade was like a perpetual night at its finest, shining with bright colors. The hilt was also eye-catching. The seven words from the unknown alphabet inlaid the gorgeously designed handle.

The treasure gave off a feeling as if something was off. It was as if the sword wasn't completed yet, and only words embedded on it were the real deal.

Those signs shone blindingly.

But in the next second, the sword that seemed like the god's weapon erupted with immense hotness. One of seven signs lit up in red color.

Other colors paled before dimming utterly before the wrath.

"Ah!" Elias Deathwill fell onto his knees, his weak and unexpected state troubling his loyal dogs, who had carefully watched over him and their safe spot.

He held the sword tightly, not letting this item go despite those unfamiliar symptoms taking over him. He gazed at the darkness coiling around the blade with narrowed eyes, scrutinizing the anger within it.

"It's yours… And… The Fallen Goddess' Wrath," Elias Deathwill grinned, his eyes dilated as he realized what had happened, "You've stepped into the treasury and somehow woke up her memories.

Alexander! I just wanted to kill you at the end, sparing you from suffering the wrath's backlash! But if you want so badly to wield this power, I will dance with you!

Come here!" Elias Deathwill screamed like a madman, his loud voice only stopped by tight walls around him!

He slid his thumb across the hilt, stopping on a peculiar sign. In a divine language, this was one of the taboo words, the sloth.

"Time to reunite mother and daughter," Elias Deathwill sneered, speaking as if he wasn't connected to the ladies that had flashed in his mind.

His finger lowered to another word, the envy.

Two signs shone, connecting their peculiar energies.

A woman in a clearly unstable state screamed to oblivion in a place above him, in a peak, he couldn't step in yet. She stopped, though, her mind flashing with memories of her daughter, so fond that her wounded mental soothed, her heart beating calmly.

And in a different continent, a white-haired woman lost consciousness, for her heart tightened with immense pain.

A pain coming from her mother's heart.

"Stella!"

She was fortunately not alone.

"Master!" Erin screamed as she stared at her beloved standing in the storm of darkness akin to a tornado.

She sensed profound wrath within her master's eyes. And that was pretty much all Erin inferred, for she lacked social experience.

She was a creation meant to learn the swordsmanship of the whole world. A soul whose purpose was more than just being a library of knowledge. A body whose purpose was not to feel any emotions.

Yet, her master had given her happiness, attention, and warmth. Elias Deathwill wouldn't have allowed her to develop these feelings and emotions if it weren't for Alex. He would've turned her into a mindless toy.

For his grand plan, Erin needed more than just knowledge, though. Thus, she was a lady who knew decorum and some information beforehand, just enough to serve the young successor.

"What… have I done wrong?" Erin asked, on the verge of crying.

Her charm was her inexperience and zeal for hard work and learning the world. Yet none of this could help her solve Alex's plight.

Erin was strong, though. She had enough strength to protect the treasury. Hence, she would've been able to kill Alex if it weren't for her heart.

In her current state, Erin's heart ached so much that she couldn't even bring out her strength to protect herself.

She could only stare into Alex's eyes before the darkness swallowed him entirely.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Showcases holding items, ranging from level one hundred to level two hundred, started popping like balloons. Their shattered pieces flew up, mixing with the black tornado coming out from Alex.

Erin gazed at the show with incredulous eyes, "Master has destroyed all prerequisites through this unknown power?"

The treasury system held back Alex from picking all items he wanted. But now, the unknown power grasping Alex's heart started freeing some of those items.

Some items fell, lying on the ground without a master. Some items rolled around, pushed by the invincible darkness energy.

Erin picked them up through her authority as the treasury's spirit. She then glanced in her beloved's direction.

She couldn't see him but a black tornado. Some black streaks stretched around the treasury, but this place was so vast that even such power couldn't open all showcases, freeing items for Alex's use.

At the same time, Alex howled like a beast.

"Master is in pain…" Erin bit her lips, gazing at the darkness with fear. She didn't want to die before experiencing all world wonders with her master.

But a life without Alex was equal to death.

Erin ran forward with all her might, "This energy influences Master's mind. Even if he dies and respawns somewhere else, his mind will be still affected. I can't let this keep going on any longer!"

But as Erin went through the darkness streaks, she quickly noticed something odd, "It doesn't hurt me?"

Perhaps, the darkness didn't have any offensive power. But as the showcases burst due to the destructive force, Erin no longer thought like that.

Instead, she believed her master didn't want to hurt her.

And while it was a sweet thought, the reality was different.

The Darkness… couldn't hurt Erin. She would learn about it in the future, perhaps from the person who had given her a life.

"Master! I'm here with you! There's no need for you to be angry anymore! Please, recall fond memories of me by your side! Weren't you happy when our research progressed? I will continue all for you!

I… I love Master! I want Master to keep turning me into a human, a good and happy girl like your wives!"

And as Erin held Alex with all her strength, pressing her soft body onto him, a reaction that no one had ever expected started happening.
