Crimson Overlord

”It is because of his blood.” Aatox’s declaration was like a clap of thunder in the middle of a storm.

That sentence kept replaying over and over in his mind, even after they appeared in another location above that city. They were in the sky overlooking the scenery below them, and after observing the city’s people, Aatox asked Elliam.

”El, do you know why I brought you here?”

And Elliam did not want to play the guessing game; he immediately shook his head.

”I do not, but I’m sure you’ll tell. So what is the reason for you bringing me here?”

”You are no fun, well it’s also why I like you.” Aatox declared, slapping Elliam hard on the shoulder.

”I brought here to show you that I’m ready to use all these people below to achieve my goals.”

Elliam’s eyes widened at those cruel world; he wanted to say something, but when he remembered that monster, how scary Orpheus was back then, and how how they could not take him down even with all their strengths, he could not find the words to condemn what Aatox’s said. They must do everything, make every sacrifice possible to eradicate one for all that abomination they created, no, they helped to create.

Seeing Elliam silent, not condemning him as he would previously, Aatox smiled, and with the flick of his fingers, they returned to their previous location.

”So, I was talking. Those Snow wolves reacted because I’ve got Orpheus’s blood on me. They were in a frenzied state, attacking me despite our differences. Of course, I might have been injured back then, but they couldn’t be a threat to me as I slaughtered them.”

Elliam sat there, not saying anything as he kept listening to Aatox’s story.

”However, kept one alive, their alpha. I had to test something, so I dropped Orpheus’s blood, I managed to squeeze out a tiny bit of his blood which I dropped onto the injured beast, and he became frenzy and died shortly, his body turned into ash.”

Elliam was shocked by this revelation, but he felt like the best part had yet to come.

”When I did that, I observed with a minute change what was happening inside the beast’s body; his blood was fighting Orpheus’s blood, the latter trying to devour it while the wolf’s blood was trying to destroy the former and the final result, they were both annihilated. So, I’ve got an epiphany; I could use this type of special wolf to deal with him; maybe they will be the key to killing him. So, I started researching what do I need to do to make a stronger weapon? Those wolves would not do the job as they are, so I must create a new life using the Snow wolves as the base, thus was the 1st beastsman after countless trials; a Snow wolf with a human appearance was created just for the sake of hiding this special weapon, I created other beastsmen. It is how they were born.”

Kratos had always believed that Elliam knew how the beastsmen were created, but in reality, Elliam had no idea how they came to be. The only thing he helped to create was the half-dragons, Belial being one of them.

It could be said that today was the first time hearing how the beastsmen were created and he was shocked. Elliam could not help but acknowledge this man’s dedication to eradicating Orpheus.

Now that he remembered it, Aatox had this side to him; he loved to fiddle with things, to create things through various experiments; even before they came here, he had a secret laboratory back in Elysium; however, he didn’t let his family learn about this side of him as there is no way the proud dragon race would tolerate something like this. They are the race born to rule, to be overwhelmed, and do chores like experimenting; science is not something they should do. Only the race, such as the Elemental race or the High human, have the time and the energy for that.

Aatox was the one that suggested creating their own race when they discovered this world; unfortunately, he could not create the dragon race, but he helped others to create their races, a lesser version of the new world. Like Aatox, Elliam could not create his own race either.

While Elliam was lost in thought, thinking about the past, Aatox, who had finished recounting the past, first drank a glass of wine before declaring.

”Elliam, I need your help for the next experiment. I have almost finished creating the perfect weapon to kill him or at least to deal him the damage he could never expect to be possible.”

To this declaration, Elliam sighed as he had expected this kind of request, knowing Aatox there was no way he would bring him here and tell him everything if he didn’t have a request in mind.

”Go on, I’m listening.” He said to Aatox’s surprise. He thought he would have refused, and he would have no choice but to convince him, but on the contrary, Elliam accepted right away, which was a pleasant surprise, to say at least.

”Good, I used Snow’s blood to create this new beastsman. I chose her because she is special; her bloodline is the purest since the creation of any snow wolf beastsmen. While I have many expectations for her, I must have a backup plan, and it’s exactly what I’m doing. Once completed, this thing will be perfect. I won’t name it yet; I’ll wait until completion to name it. Those vampires will shake in their boots just by seeing it. I need your help to make that my creation can use many attributes.”

”That is some grand ambition you have there. Well, I’ll help you. We must act quickly since he is already here.”

Aatox’s expression darkened when Elliam mentioned Orpheus’s presence. It was why they must quickly act. There is his big brother who appeared as w
