Novel Bin Chapter 305: Agreement
Chapter 305: Agreement
Adrienne? As in Adrienne Di Lucarvis, the woman who taught Nyx about the Darkness?"
"You know that witch?" Tang Feng bitterly asked before waving me off."But what is this about Nyx?"
"Look for yourself; I believe an agreement is in order." Said Nyx beckoning towards the Celestrial King.
Intrigued, another set of foreign energy entered my body. Captivated Tang Feng backed away, bowing in a similar bearing to Nyx, "So you are Tenebrae\'s chosen."
"You seem to hold her in reverence as well?" I could not help ask, knowing Tang Feng was not bowing towards me but rather Tenebrae.
"you would be a fool not to. Tenebrae\'s influence stretches outside the twelve planes like the abyss into the minds and hearts of everyone. Light may exist, but it can only because of her will. Her mystery is endless, just as the Darkness."
Sending a glance to Mimir, the head responded, "then I am sure we can come to an agreement, especially when this Yura is to marry Arsene. Don\'t you agree?"
"For the heart and bones of an eternal, I would request Arsene become our next head. I am willing to give him full control." Tang Feng cunningly said, hoping to tie me down.
"But are you not a part of Nox?" Mimir stated, with a half-smile, "While I am sure your word is king, those below a king can hold great power. Especially those that stand on his side. Dethroning your son for Arsene will not go over well."
"True, but that is not my concern. That is my offer, the power of the Celestrial Palace and all its conflict or nothing."
"Is me being a Prince of Noctem truly that important?" I questioned, studying the expression of Nyx and Tang Feng.
"It is lad, not much is known about the rulers of each domain, but it was widely known that Noctem only had a prince, never a king. It was kind of strange, but all feared him. You simply holding that title could mean you are capable of standing higher than anyone thought possible." Said Mimir solemnly.
"and this is all you would ask of me?" I inquired, ready to make a contract.
"My son, you leave him alive."
Scuffing, my mood quickly plummeted, "Three years within the seventh Layer of Hell."
"No hells, but you may place him within our Domain of Flames for seven cycles. By then, his name, family, and friends should have forgotten him. He would be lost to time."
Staring intensely into Tang Feng\'s eyes, I smiled; whoever said one needed to be in hell to experience the torment of hell? I am sure the power of the Nines are flexible enough. If not, there are many ways to torture a man.
"No, I want to—"
"That is the deal, Arsene, take it, or I walk!" The Booming voice of the Celestrial king echoed furiously. Not daring to smile on the outside, I simply remained silent.
"Fine, it\'s a deal," I said as a contract formed by Darkness appeared within my palms. Dropping a single drop of blood upon the binding contract, I handed it to Tang Feng. Who, in turn, read through everything. It had taken almost three hours for him to finish as he dropped his blood upon the contract. Still revealing nothing, the contract vanished as I spoke, "Do you know someone who is proficient in the Dao of time that you trust?"
"Why ask now?" Tang Feng coldly asked.
"Cuz I am now the new king of the Celestrial Palace, or did you forget."
Rolling his eyes, Tang Feng smirked, "I didn\'t, but I would recommend you use those within this realm. This weapon you\'re forging is powerful, Arsene. I will help in the process, but you also need to prepare yourself. the moment you fuse with this spear, a great disturbance will ripple through the Bed of Chaos."
" A ripple? Guessing that will be a problem."
"Yes, and no. No one will know it\'s you, but they will be aware that someone just fused with a weapon fit for an eternal. These are weapons that only High gods use Arsene; they hold no classification like other Artifacts. It will be unbreakable and capable of absorbing runes. Its power will grow alongside its masters but be warned it holds the heart of a dragon. Your soul may very well be—"
"I am a soul bender, so unless it destroys my body, soul damage does nothing to me. Benefits from not being able to flee in soul form like others do." I grimly stated, ready for what may happen.
"Nothing is ever perfect, do not take your condition as your saving grace. You are still a mortal at this moment." said Tang Feng placing his palms upon my shoulder, "I will go and gather the ingredients. I will summon you when everything is set."
"Good, but what of the Titan-God of time? I need someone to help me forge this weapon." The silent Hephaestus said, appearing somewhat infatuated with the dagger in the hands of Tang Feng.
"Oh, that! I will speak to him, and I am sure if push comes to shove, I will ask Adrienne to help. Her comprehension in the Dao of Time is perfect. I am sure she will be able to help." Said Nyx, smiling vibrantly as she wrapped her arms around me. "Who knew you would be a Prince! ANd such a cute one!!! Does Hades know!"
"Oh, I forgot, you should go see him. Hades got injured. He is fine but has a little soul damage." I said, watching as Nyx vanished without so much as a word. Arching my lips, I smirked.
"Seems like someone maybe getting some tonight... lucky bastard."
Shaking my head, a dark mist slowly began to consume my body as I looked towards the God of Fire, "I would assume the payment would simply be the honor of forging this spear, correct? But how about I add another incentive. If you build me a spear, I will heal your face and body. It may take a while, but I do have the powers of the Nines on my side. "I said, fading into the shadow realm.
Looking around at the Darkness, my heart grew at peace as I thought of my castle in Midgard. I had never been to Tartus, so teleporting there was not possible, but now with the help of the Shadow Realm, I would be able to teleport back and forth. Although why that madwoman had to use that energy is strange. Is there something I don\'t know?
"No matter, it is Time for War!"
