Excelium II: Hunting Season

Kabanata 32

"F*ck! Get the hell out of my way!" Shaera shouted as she storm out of the throne room. The slam of the door resonated in the hallways. The maids immediately stand on the sides to avoid the enraged master. Lowering their heads as they clasp their hands together on their abdomen. They were nervous but as the goddess' servants, they must remain collected all the time. Especially when the goddess' mood is not on the better side.

Shaera gritted her teeth. Those brats..! How dare they come back empty handed?! She thought. She stopped and looked out of the castle window. There are humans outside, specifically, in the huge Capital. Walking around while there are explosive detecting devices on their wrists. To vent her anger, she wants to kill those pesky and useless humans. But damn it. She need all those souls to get what she wants.

"Damn it..!" she yelled at bigla na lamang nabasag ang salamin na nasa harapan niya. The maids were startled pero walang sumubok gumalaw. Takot na lamang na baka sila ang pagbuntungan ng galit ng babae.

But one of her butlers dared to walk to the goddess, "Lady Shaera, please calm dow---!" hindi na nito natapos ang sasabihin noong bigla na lamang hinawakan ng mahigpit ng babae ang kaniyang leeg gamit ang isang kamay. She was still looking out of the broken window. The butler is making a choking sound, making the maids close their eyes as if they're feeling the pain he is enduring. Inilapit ni Shaera ang butler sa kaniya at tumingin ng direkta sa mga mata nito.

"Where is Xhen and the others? They still haven't arrived yet?!"

Kinakabahan naman itong sinagot ng kaniyang butler, "N-No, Ma'am. Sir Xhen has just sent in a report saying that they've only found the man named Zenlhoir Hevrion. They're currently taking actions to get some of his DNA."

Shaera gritted her teeth and pushed the butler away with a single hand. The butler choked and struggled to stabilize his breathing. Shaera clicked her tongue. These servants that she created are also demons, they have the ability to think than the Hellions, the two meter tall demons who knows nothing but to kill. But they're weaker and along with their appearances, they also have human characteristics. That's not the kind of servants she wants.

She wants a perfect set of servants. Those who'll do every task perfectly. Servants who won't act on emotions alone. Servants that are powerful enough to conquer the five kingdoms. And that's why she wants to revive Hevrions. Hevrions are the perfect servants that she wants. The only problem is their kind have no sense of loyalty towards her but this time it'll be different. She has the Livia, she can revive them from the dead. They'll surely turn their back on her the moment they're awoken but this time, she has the power to force them.

"You better make sure you have what I want, Xhen. What's the use of reviving you lot if you can't do a simple task?"

She walked away as she clench her hands. When she successfully revive them, she'll use them to get the books that she wants. It is forbidden for humans to touch the book but those who has already traveled to the afterlife can. It was perfect. She smirked. That girl won't know what's coming for her. Stubborn children must be punished.

Xhen and the others are hiding behind the trees that are covered in snow as they watch the house not far from where they are standing.

Xhen squinted his eyes when he felt a familiar presence behind him, "Where were you Garo? Taking a different route without consulting me? How brave of you." Garo ignored Xhen's words and just continued staring at the house nearby as he crouch on the branch of a tree.

"He's in there?"

Cast nodded, "Yeah. Our little DNA donor is in there."

"Lady Shaera said that Hevrions are really strong but how strong? I'll be really disappointed if he isn't." Dan said as he play with his lollipop in his mouth.
