Chapter 55: The prelude of death

...

"Hey Aspen, what is this...?"

Alyem, that was looking inside my bag where I stored few important things for traveling so that no one suspected that I had an inventory, had his back turned to me so I wasn't really able to know what kind of expression he was doing right now, neither could I see the object he was talking about, so when something inside that bag surprised him and he asked me about it, I felt a chill run down my back.

Please be just a porn magazine or something like that!

Wait, I left those back at home under my bed... So that is not what he found inside my bag... 

I moved to see what was Alyem exactly talking about... and then...

"...?"

It was my Alchemist Guild card. (A/N: You have been scammed guys xD)

"What is this? Some kind of identification from the Human country?"

"It's just my Alchemist Guild card, it identifies me as a member from their organization and gives me complete access to the facilities they offer for me to create potion of any type. It also works as a license for selling potions to anyone... See that letter at the corner of the card? That is my rank at potion making."

"[Rank: 1]?" 

"Yeah, it kind of implies that I have priority over other alchemist of lower ranks when it comes to offering my services at potion making. The ranks go from 1 to 10, with 1 being for the most experimented and knowledgeable of alchemists, and 10 being for the beginner alchemists that enter the organization... "

"Huh... It's kind of different from our country. We use the ranks F, E, D, C, B, A, and S to quantify the ability and experience a person has in different jobs. Of course, it's not like there's a rank system for every kind of job at the kingdom, there's no S rank doorkeeper, nor S rank Innkeeper"

"Ranks by using letters instead of numbers, huh? Is there any job called adventurer?"

"Of course not, who the heck could pay someone for going on adventures when you can do it by yourself? It's like paying someone for eating your food...!"

"Hmm... Indeed"

I wonder why were they called adventurers in those novels I read in my previous world... Wasn't there a more accurate name for their profession?

"So, was there anything suspicious inside my room?"

"No, but there's surprisingly too few things in this room... Don't you need anything else besides the basic luggage for traveling? You know, like books for reading on your free time?"

"I can go to the library for that"

"No, I mean...don't you have anything else to do when you're free apart from sleeping like you always do...?"

"No"

"..."

"..."

"Whatever, I guess every person is different, huh?" Alyem sighed in exhaustion after seeing that I couldn't understand his reasoning...

I mean, was there anything better than sleeping?

In a different place...

...

A great torrent of blood moved in circles above of what seemed to be a giant mountain of corpses. Next to it, there were many people with blue tunics using their magic together to bend the blood inside all the corpses.

"Hahaha... At this rate, The great Cthulhu will finally come back in just a few weeks from now! All we need to do is gather enough mana and the great day will come eventually... Luckily, this few weeks we have been finally able to reunite the last corpses we needed for the ritual to start. Who could have thought that killing children could be so efficient compared to killing normal people? Hahahaha..."

"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe... I have been so happy these days... I even allowed that filthy bitch in my basement to rest a bit from the torture I give her every day. She actually dared to talk bad about me and the great Cthulhu when she found out about our cult... all this while calling herself my wife... what a disgusting woman, truly..."

"I can't even imagine the faces of all those disgusting goblins once they find themselves being mutilated and severed apart by the great Cthulhu when he comes back...Hahaha... hahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Crazy laughs filled the whole room for a while as the people performing the ritual talked between themselves... or that was until all of them noticed the sound of steps approaching the room slowly.

"L-LEADER?!"

""We greet your highness!""

"Hmm~ I see that everything is going perfectly well, huh~? What a perfect day this is~!"

"Lord, how did the matter at the dungeon go?! Did that woman finally agreed to work with us?!"

"Hohoho~ Indeed, it actually took a while, but after some torture she finally ended up breaking down and accepted to create the body of our great God~ Now everything is in place for our God to return to us and bestow us with Salvation."

"Everything is perfect my Lord! At this rate in just a few weeks the world will finally know true Salvation, hiehiehehiehehiehehe, True Salvation TrueSalvationTrueSalvationTrueSalvationTrueSalvationTrueSalvationTru SalvationTrueSalvationTrueSalvationTrue SalvationTrueSalvationTrueSalvationTrueSalvationTrueSalvationTrueSalvationTrueSalvation..."

"Indeed~ However, there's a matter that worries me... and although it may be just my overly cautious personality, I can't help but worry about that alchemist... Aspen, was it?... as far as the reports showed, he has an extraordinary ability to build giant structures in just a matter of minutes, he can control the nature around him as if it was part of his own body, and he even has superior physical abilities compared to a normal human... I fear that he might be a descendant of a dryad, the race that imprisoned our Lord in the moon after the great war took place thousands of years ago..."

"But sir, at that moment our Lord faced the power of hundreds of Dryads at the same time, and even after that he managed to kill almost every one of them except for  one that managed to survive, and even then that Dryad disappeared after a long time ago. Even if that man is  a descendant of a dryad and a human, he won't be able to even scratch our lord with his petty powers!"

"Indeed, however, just to be sure I'll take care of him before the ritual is completed~ I don't want anyone messing with the ritual process at this point after all... Where is he right now?" 

"Sorry my Lord, after the war with the goblins the Alchemist moved out of the city and we lost track of him... However, our spies discovered that he still comes back one time every month to check on the matters of the city, and buy supplies to sustain himself at his life at the forest..."

"Then I'll wait for him... and then I will show him why am I the greatest apostle of our great Lord Cthulhu... A mere Dryad descendant won't be able to even scratch me... Or else I could be disgracing our great God after all..." A black aura started appearing around the man, absorbing almost all the light in the surroundings, and suppressing all the people surrounding the great mountain of corpses.

"Oops~ Sorry about that, it sees like I forgot to restrain myself a bit, hihihihi~"
