1307 Past And Present Grudges[Part 1]

Take care, Erinys said. I will be waiting for you here.

Okay, William said as he lightly patted her head. Ill return as soon as I can.

Erinys nodded before giving William one last hug. A minute later, she reluctantly pulled back and stepped away.

Ill be waiting for you inside my boat, Erinys stated before pointing at the black tower in the distance. Your wife is located at the top of the Tower of Wrath. But beware, this place is the most chaotic place in the Underworld.

Everyone here in the Plains of Wrath is out to kill you, so dont trust anyone. It will be safe if you just kill anyone you see. They are all bad guys anyway.

William smiled. Dont miss me too much, okay?

Erinys snorted. Go. Make sure to keep your blood packs with you. I dont want to see you crying like a little kid when you get back because you ran out of blood packs.

Youre the small one here.

Height is irrelevant! Im a Half-ling! Have you seen a tall Half-ling?!

William smirked before waving goodbye to Erinys.

As much as he wanted the little girls company, the latter adamantly refused to accompany him across the Plains of Wrath, saying that none of the Ferryman were allowed to step on it without permission from above.

The Half-Elf didnt know whether Erinys was telling the truth or not, but he decided to trust her.

Watching his back grow smaller, and smaller in the distance. Erinys placed her right hand over her chest.

In truth, she could accompany William just fine. However, she didnt want to experience the discomfort she felt in l.u.s.ts Abode, when the Half-Elf was being intimate with his wives.

She was still confused about her feelings towards the black-haired teenager, who had drunk her blood several times during their trip down the River of h.e.l.l.

Erinys didnt even know if William treated her as a lady, instead of a little girl due to her small physique.

She didnt see him blus.h.i.+ng when the two of them slept naked together, which made her feel that he didnt find her attractive, and only used her as his blood supply and a hug pillow that he could cuddle at night.

Who am I kidding? Erinys sighed. Im the one that forced that setting to him every night.

It was indeed her who liked to cuddle with William, and the one responsible for telling him to not wear anything when they sleep together, because she liked the warmth of his skin against hers.

Is this what it means to become an adult? Erinys thought as she rested her left hand over her chest. I didnt know that Id feel this hurt to see someone leave me.

Erinys sighed for the second time as Williams image disappeared from her view.

Come back soon Will, Erinys muttered. Im lonely

As William embarked on his journey in the Plains of Wrath, a great battle was taking place in the sky above the Ainsworth Empire.

After their loss against the Half-Elfs subordinates, the Pope became lowkey for nearly a month before launching an all out offensive against Williams Empire.

Although there was suspicion that there was a spy among their ranks, the Pope once again gathered the five Pseudo-G.o.ds and took them to the special domain that belonged to the Holy Order of Light.

After that, the Pseudo-G.o.ds erected several barriers, and signed individual contracts with the Pope that none of them would leak their plans no matter what.

Because of this, they had managed to catch Williams forces by surprise, taking the battlefield to the capital city of the Ainsworth Empire.

Dammit! Dont you care about who we have as our hostages?! Loxos cursed out loud as she guided the ranged attacks of her allies towards their enemies.

The Pseudo-G.o.ds didnt respond and simply attacked their respective targets, according to the plan that the Pope had drafted beforehand.

The sound of the whistling wind reached Loxos ears, forcing her to dodge to the side as Belles arrow flew past her.

A moment later, a portal opened two meters in front of her, revealing one of the Pseudo-G.o.ds that specialized in close ranged combat.

Got you, girlie! the Pseudo-G.o.d said as he delivered a powerful punch to Loxos stomach, making the latters body bend like a shrimp.

Loxos pained gasp lasted for only a second before the Pseudo-G.o.d grabbed her body and pulled her back inside the portal, which closed as soon as she was captured by the enemy.

No! Loxos! Opis shouted. Dammit!

Hekaerge gritted her teeth before glaring in the direction where the young nymph was taken.

As someone that held the Divinity over distance, she was able to see where the enemy had taken her sister.

Finally, we got you, the Pope pulled Loxos hair, who was sprawled on the deck of the flying s.h.i.+p after she was captured by the Pseudo-G.o.d under the Palace of Light.

Her hands, and feet were bound by golden manacles, preventing her from using her power. Right now, she was not different from an ordinary girl, which could be found all over Hestia.

You like to curse right? the Pope sneered as she pulled her hair harder. Lets see how you talk big this time.

You old hag, you wont get away with this! Loxos shouted. William will save me!

The Pope smirked as she pulled Loxos face close to hers. Thats what were counting on. Weve long wanted to catch that b.a.s.t.a.r.d and make him understand who he is dealing with.

Belle, who was standing at the helm of the s.h.i.+p, gave Loxos a side-long glance.

Another one of his women, Belle thought as she narrowed his eyes. Her name wasnt on the list last time. It seems that he has really forgotten his promise.

The black-haired beauty then nocked another arrow on her bow as she aimed it at Triton, who was fighting against a Pseudo-G.o.d whose strength matched his. Her role was to support the other Pseudo-G.o.ds as they followed their strategy to weaken Williams forces.

Capturing Loxos, whom they deemed as the greatest threat in the battlefield, was only one of their strategies in order to gain the upper hand in the battle against foes that outnumbered them.

However, before she could even fire her arrow, something caught her attention, prompting her to jump back from where she stood. A moment later, a silver spear embedded itself into the helm of the s.h.i.+p, exactly where she was standing just a second ago.

After missing its target, the spear disengaged itself from the deck of the flying s.h.i.+p and flew towards the sky.

The Pope as well as the other Pseudo-G.o.ds were alarmed because they hadnt noticed that an enemy had managed to get so close to them without them detecting their presence. This was simply unbelievable, and even Belle, who specialized in scouting long distances, didnt notice the enemys attack until the very last second.

You, Belle muttered as she gazed at a familiar face.

Yes. It is me.

A confident voice coming from someone that Belle had met in the past reached everyones ears.

This is troubling, one of the Pseudo-G.o.ds frowned as he looked up at the young lady who was riding on top of a wolf with lightning streaks in its fur.

The Pope snorted before letting go of Loxos hair. She then pointed her finger at the newcomer who was standing fearlessly above their flying s.h.i.+p.

Who are you? the Pope asked. Why are you getting in our way?

The beautiful lady with long blonde hair that fluttered in the breeze, glanced down at the Pope with her clear blue eyes that were similar to the sky around her.

She was wearing a feathered helmet, and light-plated armor, which held a design that the Pope had not seen in the past.

Who am I? the blonde-beauty asked back. You dont know who I am?

The beautiful valkyrie pointed the tip of his spear towards Belle, ignoring the Pope completely. A smile adorned her beautiful face, and an air of confidence could be felt around her. It was as if she didnt care if the one she was fighting against were beings stronger than her.

Since you dont know who I am, allow me to introduce myself, the Valkyrie said, ignoring the two Pseudo-G.o.ds that had risen up in the air to confront her.

I am the Prince of Darkness First Wife, Wendy announced, making the battles around her momentarily stop as everyone looked at her enchanting figure.

Even Loxos, who laid helplessly on the ground, forced herself to turn her head to look at the lady who claimed to be Wiliams first wife.

Wendy ignored the gazes aimed in her direction, and stared down on the black-haired beauty, who was gazing back at her with a determined look on her face.

They had met once on Earth, and both of them knew that there would come a time when they would settle their score with each other.

The Prince of Darkness First Wife? The Pope muttered as a dawn of understanding came upon her.

Yes. His First Wife, Wendy gave Belle a sweet smile, making the latter arch an eyebrow at her.

Belle had been saved by Wendy during the battle in K-City. Back then, the black-haired beauty was even captivated by how amazing the Valkyrie was when she drove off the monsters that were trying to attack the people around her.

Now, that same person had reappeared in front of her. Only this time, she was pointing the tip of her weapon in her direction, as if challenging her into a duel in the name of the man they both loved.

I am Wendy Von Ainsworth, Wendy declared. And I have come to teach you trespa.s.sers a lesson you will never forget.
