Chapter 1053 Finishing the Queen’s Quest
As Michael stealthily approached the immortals, he decided to take a different route, dropping down from an elevated place rather than using the stairs. He closed his eyes, expanding his senses throughout the cave, and confirmed that there was no other way out for the immortals but through him. With them trapped, his sole task was to eliminate them all.
Walking towards the immortals, he felt the heavy energy radiating from the dark crystal. Surprisingly, the crystal tried to ensnare him in a trance, but being the god of darkness, Michael was able to resist its influence and break the connection.
"I wonder what they were thinking," Ayag mused from atop Michael's shoulder. The immortals were all looking up, their eyes rolled back behind their eye sockets.
"Kill them all and sever the connection with my crystal," the queen's voice echoed in Michael's head again.
"Stop doing that," Michael whispered through gritted teeth, frustrated with the intrusion.
"What did we do?" asked Ayag, confused by Michael's reaction.
"I can hear the queen's voice inside my head," Michael whispered, circling around the entranced immortals.
"Why aren't we hearing her?" Sarba inquired.
"Why would you want that, you moron?" Ayag scolded her brother, lowering her voice. Meanwhile, Michael moved his hands in front of the immortals to see if they reacted to his presence. As expected, they remained completely entranced by the crystal in the middle.
"Kill them," the queen's voice echoed once more, and Michael couldn't help but let out a slightly annoyed response, "Okay, okay."
With his two dark swords in hand, Michael moved with lightning speed, a blur of motion as he swiftly decapitated each of the immortals. Their heads rolled off their bodies, blood spattering on the ground, creating a gruesome scene. Despite the brutal attack, their bodies remained firmly rooted to the ground, unaffected by their severed heads. Ignoring this oddity, Michael continued his path towards the dark crystal.
As he approached the crystal, he noticed a dark smoke shrouding it. Upon slaying the immortals, Michael witnessed wisps of white smoke being absorbed from their lifeless bodies into the crystal. The system's notifications continued to ring inside his head, rewarding him for his lethal actions with experience points and badass points.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing an Immortal. The reward is 2,000,000 Experience points and 5000 Badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 8000 Badass points]
The crystal seemed to pulsate with energy, and Michael could feel a surge of power emanating from it. He knew that this crystal contained a piece of the queen's soul, and it was crucial to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. The queen's voice in his head had made it clear that she wanted him to retrieve the crystal, and Michael had no intention of disobeying her.
Despite their decapitated state, the bodies of the immortals remained rooted to the ground. Michael paid no mind to this strange phenomenon and proceeded toward the dark crystal. The crystal was enveloped in a cloud of dark smoke, and as Michael took the lives of the immortals, he noticed wisps of white smoke being absorbed into the crystal.
"The crystal is devouring their souls," Sarba observed, noting the eerie white smoke floating into the dark artifact.
"This crystal contains a piece of the queen's soul. What did you expect?" Michael chuckled as he reached out to grasp the crystal. A sudden electric sensation ran down his spine, and he found himself in a disorienting vision. In the vision, he stood alone before a massive army, with the surroundings plunged into darkness, and a volcanic mountain spewing lava streams on the horizon. It took a moment for Michael to shake off the vision and return to reality.
"Bring it to the demon's grave," Yet again, Michael heard the queen's voice in his head.
"The demon's grave, got it," Michael replied to the queen's voice in his head.
As he turned to leave, Sarba raised a valid question, "What about these bodies? Shouldn't we destroy them?"
"Nah, it will give the immortals something to worry about," Michael said with a devilish grin. With the world believing the Dark Lord to be dead, the council of immortals would be baffled and terrified, decided to let them speculate and stew in fear over the mysterious deaths.
trying to figure out who had slain their brethren. Destroying the bodies with dark flames might raise suspicion, as the use of such powerful primordial flame could leave traces behind. Michael decided to let them speculate and stew in fear over the mysterious deaths.
After acquiring the crystal, Michael swiftly utilized his runic teleportation to reach the safe house provided by Nithroel. In an instant, he found himself in a spacious hall, illuminated by a magnificent chandelier. At the center of the hall, Elidyr was engrossed in engraving glowing runes on a teleportation portal. Thanks to Elidyr's ingenuity, Michael had been able to transport the teleporter from his dark castle to Nithroel's safe house when the Skyhall army captured his stronghold.
