Chapter 203: Suddenly A Wild Bunny Appeared

"You're from that forest."

I kept full eyes on my surroundings. Nothing was amiss and the dragons were still up in the air doing nothing, almost as if waiting for someone of thing.

"Ah, you do remember." His voice seemed a little more jubilant.

"Would you mind explaining all this to me? I can't seem to understand what's going on."

I lowered my sword. It wasn't because I trusted him. But I wanted him to let his guard down and tell me. Judging by his appearance he could very well have been the mastermind. And he was too nonchalant. Meaning I didn't have any way to harm him- at least that's what he probably thought.

"You appear dumb but actually are pretty smart, aren't you?"

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" I grinned. Things weren't getting anywhere. "How do you know about me? And how did you know about Namcha and Trerortra?"

"Good question. First comes introductions I suppose. I am Ashirnae, the god of the underworld. I go by many more names. But I'm sure you've heard of the one Jamsau, right?" His voice deepened.  "That was given to me by Trerortra himself."

He didn't seem like those monsters and he looked fairly humanoid. But then again I never saw his face, so I couldn't tell. But strangely I got the feeling, this guy wasn't dead like the rest.

"I see. Makes sense. So what are you doing here? Making the gods kill each other wasn't enough?" I grinded my teeth but controlled my feelings.

Ashirnae- the God of the underworld was said to be the root of all evil by most of the people I've come across. I wasn't dumb enough to act on folklore, but both the old man and Sisrael had said the same. Meaning, this guy was bad news and I knew it. 

However they also told me things about how men screwed up, so I couldn't do anything rash- at least not while there were literal dragons flying around.

"You know me so well. It was entertaining but Trerortra was too powerful. He almost killed me too." He playfully chose his words. He was enjoying this. But it almost felt like he was hiding something.

I controlled my irritation and rage. The one who screwed the whole wide world was in front of me and I had to watch and pretend to be not angry. 

What a joke!

But I needed answers. "So? Why are you here now?" 

"A little slow on the uptake? I suppose that much is expected. You are a mortal after all. For fun of course. Everything is for entertainment. The underworld is too boring you know."

Wasn't the underworld a place where evil people got punished? So punishing people wasn't fun anymore? I didn't know much about the underworld, but he was right, it sure didn't sound like a fun place. 

"So your idea of entertainment is to bring an army of dragons and a God to this puny town and parading?" 

How was this dude different from the demon emperor then?

"Ha ha h a ha. Of course not. My idea of fun is simple. They destroy the town while you try to stop them." He laughed. My eyes roared with disgust. "And I'd like to see how you fare against a god without interference as well. He wants to know too. Besides, I have to know if you possess it or not: and I also have high hopes for you."

"You're not making any sense. How is this entertainment? How's killing innocent beings entertainment?" My mind snapped but I still managed to hold my anger even if just a little. 

"Innocent? Are you referring to those vermin as innocent? Are you aware of all the atrocities you mortals commit?" If he didn't have a hood his eyes probably would have displayed nothing but madness. He wasn't something I could reason with. "You humans are the worst of all the creations. I gave you desire, I gave you love, I gave you magic and you all forgot about me and worshipped the other 'better' gods," he roared, composed himself, and cleared his throat. "Excuse me. It seems spending a few thousand years doing nothing really eats you up." He was mad.

I took deep breaths. For some reason, I was already out of breath. "Tell me, why'd you help me back then?"

"Entertainment-"

"Sorry but I'm not buying it." It was a bluff. I wanted to see his true intentions.

He chuckled. "You are really too good. Maybe I should give you more credit. Alas! The time for me to depart has come. Oh and I wouldn't rely too much on that shiny rock. I put him to sleep and no matter how much regenerative strength he has even he won't be able to come back to alive for at least a few days." He chuckled uncontrollably. "And don't keep Xerphas waiting so long. He's a little impatient you see."

"What are you aiming to do?" I had to ask. He was the only full-fledged god alive that I knew of and yet he was destroying the very world he was supposed to protect.

"To create a world where gods wouldn't- no a world where only fun exists. A world where there are no more monsters. Something like: your world perhaps." He laughed ominously. "Don't let me down now." 

A world without gods? Is that what he tried to say? But why would he-

"Wait!" Reality sunk back in and I tried to chase after him but the dragon woke up and flicked me back.

Damn it, not now!

With a loud roar, the Dragon woke up and the Jam-whatever guy disappeared. 

I drank a potion and focused my mana again. The moment he left the dragons in the sky started to move. 

I could see fires from here. Things weren't looking good.

Oh boy.

The big long dragon- the god, wasn't moving. But the other ones were basically laying waste to the city. 

Oh boy, oh boy. 

I'd made an error in my judgment. And now I had to rectify it. But the dragon stood in my way. 

Guess, I should just stick to forests. At least that way, people won't be hurt.

My mind was kind of going funny over the whole thing. 

Suddenly a wild bunny appeared.
