The Villain's Story

Chapter 601: [601] What did I get?

 n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Alan stepped out of the portal and sat down on his bed, he was back in his dorm room, and was staring aimlessly at the wall.

'I can't tell you everything...'

Once again, Lanesha had avoided the questions. Perhaps she really didn't know, or she didn't

tell him due to being bound by some stupid laws. How hard could it truly be?

Nevertheless, He didn't become too angry. He...somehow accepted it.

"One week..."

He remembered her words.

'But... II know someone who can. Come to the coordinates I gave you back then, bring Kazikato and Sabrina, and your team with you...and then you will embark on a journey to find him, and gain the qualifications of becoming the armor's wielder.'

In fact, he remembered their entire conversation.

'A journey? I'm supposed to go on it to fulfill the requirements? And why should I bring Sabrina and Kazikato?'

'It is because...they are necessary, and it will be helpful to them.'

It was infuriating, to have your attention be drawn back to something else when you nearly lost your mind trying to solve what came before. He had more questions...

Kazikato? He could understand, He was technically Alan's brother now, being grandson of Ariel, just like him now, and son of Shi, The former supreme of Death. He did wonder what their positions were, though...

Lanesha was the youngest out of all of Ariel's children, whilst Shi was the oldest... That wouldn't give Kazikato a sense of superiority, both literally and figuratively...right?

'What am I even thinking about...'

Superiority...? He was dotted on by Ariel herself. Of course, he would be superior...

Nevertheless, He could still understand why she told him to bring that lazy bum along... But why Sabrina?

What use did she have? What role? Why would she be necessary, and why would it be useful for her? Was it perhaps strengthening her by fighting an army of dreadful monsters?

The moment Lanesha mentioned the journey, he knew it would be a perilous one. Exceptionally dangerous.

But even then... A part of him could still understand, she was one of the best mages on planet Earth, as long as she had her crystal with her. She knew more spells than Alan and Kazikato combined, more efficient ways to use them, how to utilize them well, and her knowledge about almost anything...surpassed his own.

By a big, big gap as well. So then, why did she want him to bring Predator as well? Team obviously meant them, the group he established.

Maxwell, the oldest one in the group and the one he knew best, was no fighter. He was indispensable...but no fighter! He was mainly the brains of the group, the one who took care of all the members needs and logistics. Alan would even call him their babysitter.

Alice remained cooped up in the lab her father made for her, studying various things about alchemy. He had heard she had some major success, but knew she still wished to stay there more, studying and learning.

Edward and Emma were still new. To be honest, he forgot about them. He took in Emma because she showed great potential as a medic, and the weird feeling he got from her, but she was too weak. She needed time to grow. He took Edward in because of Emma, as well. He could be a good tank, but would they really need one?

They had two dragons after all, What use did they have for a tank?

Alan alone could fill the role of a tank greatly, Hell, he knew he could do everyone's role in the party except for Maxwell's. Not only could he fight exceptionally well, he could also heal with the help of the Phoenix bloodline. What use did they have for an alchemist if he could simply take care of their wounds, all by himself, without potions? The bloodline of the Phoenix was more potent than any potion Alice could make.

Alexander, could be of some help, though.

The spatial coordinates Lanesha had given him were of the home world of the frost dragons, It could be the safest place in the Universe for him, or the most dangerous one. There had to be some other monstrosities there, as well.

[Supreme dragon of Frost, Lanesha feels insulted. She says Lanekia is full of life, and is a thriving world! It will be completely safe.]

'Stop reading my thoughts...'

Well, it did help somewhat, it told him that Lanekia, The world of the Frost Dragons, wouldn't be as perilous as he had thought... But it awakened his mind to something else.

It was really simple... If Lanekia was not dangerous, Wherever this journey would take him to to complete the requirements for the armor was sure to be teeming with treasure.

Alan waited for a bit, He wanted to see Lanesha's thoughts on this. Grimacing at the lack of a notification, he knew it was right.

Her silence was the ominous confirmation!

"Goddammit... You first summon me on that useless quest, god knows what it did to me, and now this..."

He wasn't a stranger to danger. He was, actually, prepared to take risks to get that armor long, long before. He knew getting it won't be as easy as taking candy from a baby, or in this case a gift from his Lanesha. His mother...?

This didn't distract him from the fact that 'he' was ready for a dangerous journey filled with life-threatening dangers. 'He' was!

Not Sabrina, Not Kazikato, Not Predator! He could trust Alexander and Kazikato to keep their lives... But he didn't trust Predator. His team was simply too weak! He didn't want Sabrina to

get hurt as well!

'Just why on Earth would mother want them to come as well?'

"Huh."

He didn't really feel awkward or weird calling Lanesha his mother, Well, she was his guardian dragon and could be considered a motherly figure in his life... With how much she helped him

and gave him gifts.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost, Lanesha is happy you called her mother. She advises you that you cannot solve everything alone, and it will be a valuable experience for them as well.] "... Alright... I'll get them all over here, in a week."

He had no choice but to agree, He knew she was right. Trying to solve everything alone would

be troublesome.

But before trying to explain things to everyone, and gather them up, He had something else

to do... And that was finally knowing what he got for consuming that harrowing drop of Ichor.
