I.. Am God?-Chapter 201 Succumb
Andre just shook his head in annoyance and sent a sliver of his energy to the highest point of the place. As soon as that sliver of energy touched the peak, Andre's eyes glowed as images of several places appeared in his mind.
"37.2431 degrees North, 115.7930 degrees West. 25.0000 degrees North, 71.0000 degrees West. 11.5504 degrees North, 92.2335 degrees East…" He suddenly said different coordinates of different places as the others listened to him.
"I want all of you to immediately restrain and pressure those places. No one must go out nor go in. Every branch of this organisation must be contained." He commanded the ten.
"Yes, Lord!" The ten nodded and bowed before turning to leave. But, even before they could warp to those places, they suddenly slumped down to the ground, which bewildered Andre. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
"Well, well, well. I was wondering why you sent a sliver of your consciousness into the pillar, you were tracking the branches." Suddenly, an amused voice sounded from the highest tower inside. "Do you really think I would let you do what you want?" The voice added.
"Here he is." Solomon snickered as he continued to watch what was happening.
Andre narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at where the voice was coming from. "What are you looking at?" Andre abruptly turned around and saw a white haired and bearded man, looking like the old man from the monopoly game minus the hat and having a longer hair, looking at him with a smiling face.
His hair was tied in a low ponytail with a golden tie, while it shined like jewelry even though it could be considered a simple ornament. On his right eye was a golden monocle connected by a similarly golden chain that was clipped onto his chest pocket.
His smile made him look like an innocent man whose kindness is unmatchable, but everyone who knows him would definitely see that smile as bone-chilling.
When the fifteen saw him, their eyes suddenly sparkled, with hope coming back to them.
Looking at the smiling butler-like man, Andre suddenly felt the deep recesses of his body shake as he thought of how this person just suddenly appeared behind him without even being felt by him. Someone who can do that to him with his level of power now is in a calibre way beyond that of the other fifteen combined.
"Who are you?" Andre probed the man. The man's lips twitched and he let out a disappointed sigh, "How rude. You haven't even introduced yourself to me first, and you are already asking for mine? That's certainly disrespectful." He commented.
"Has your billions of years of living not even taught you basic manners? What a shame." He added.
"You already know me, why do I still need to introduce myself?" Andre spat.
"Well, your manners really aren't present, so I'll just be the one to adjust." The man sighed once again and waved his gentleman's cane behind him, "I am Kaleid von Dimicreius, servant of Solomon, Butler of His House. I represent his rule over the realms and I am the Steward of Illuminati and Keeper of his treasures."
While he was introducing himself, he waved his staff and freed his subordinates from Andre's pressure, enabling them to leave quickly. Knowing that no one must be involved in this fight other than the two of them, Andre also waved his hands and sent the fainted people under him to a much safer place.
"Now that I have introduced myself, it's time for you to suffer the consequences of challenging my master's rule." Suddenly, Kaleid vanished and reappeared once more behind Andre.
,m Andre acted out quickly and turned his body while directing his palms towards the butler and casting several spells. Weakening, fatigue, curse, ruin, anything that he can utilize. He was already going all out because he knows for himself that this person isn't a joke.
"How funny." Kaleid chuckled and astonishingly, the spells that Andre casted were just absorbed by Kaleid without even affecting him.
"What.. was that?" Andre gasped internally. Sensing it, Kaleid smiled smugly, "Those magic has no effect on me because I am a Demon!" He then once again disappeared and started to assault Andre nonstop.
Appearing in different places and being pummeled by Kaleid with his cane, Andre was beaten numerology times. Predicting that he would appear behind him once again, Andre immediately casted seals behind him, but he was shocked when Kaleid appeared above him, laughing, "Who are you attacking behind you? A ghost?" Kaleid then proceeded to hit Andre with the tip of his staff like how a cue would hit a billiard ball.
Andre was shot down, slamming into the ground, causing dusts and debris to fly to the air. Seeing that he was already at a disadvantage, Andre was forced to use the other magics that he had learned from the library that he wanted to reserve at the end fight.
He opened his arms wide, channeling the knowledge of the runes and scriptures in his mind. Behind him, several magic circles materialized and circled his back, forming a huge red magic array.
Seeing that, Kaleid's smile changed into a kind of upset expression, "How dishonorable of you to use Demon Slaying Magic on me. I wasn't even using my demon magic to go against you. Because of that, let's stop here."
He reappeared on the ground, facing forward, and slammed his staff down. Gradually, the black cane transformed into a more sinister staff made from bones and blood from different creatures.
His suit also shed its noble facade and turned into a sanguine red cape similar to what vampires wear. His form also changed into a younger image of himself, a hellishly handsome man that would make women and even men to fall in love with him at first sight.
"Succumb to the world of your endless dreams." Kaleid uttered as he slowly waved his hands.
Seeing him cast his spell, Andre immediately felt an imminent danger. He jumped far back, just for Kaleid to appear behind him in a flash and bind him with imperceptible binds, alarming him greatly.
"Your foolishness knows no bounds. Cease your resistance and give in." Kaleid whispered behind his ear.
After he said that, Andre felt that all his energy was suddenly sucked out of him as he suddenly faltered, his mind aching with intense pain. He saw his surroundings change, looking something like a kaleidoscope of infinite patterns and colors.
Not being able to take it anymore, Andre fainted in fatigue.
He felt as if the burden in his body and mind slowly lifted, as if everything that happened was just a dream. The pains of the past, burdens of the present, and the problems of the future seemed nonexistent.
Minutes later, he felt his body ache a little. He slowly opened his eyes but was immediately blinded by the sunlight that was being casted on him from the small slit on the white curtain.
He looked around, and he concluded that he was inside a room. A wardrobe stood on their left side together with a small cabinet with a vase filled with orchids together with a picture frame whose picture wasn't that visible to him because of the glare from the sunlight.
He also heard the lovely chirping of the birds from the outside with the relaxing sounds of leaves ruffling with the cold breeze of morning.
'Where am I?" He thought to himself as he tried to sit up. But he suddenly was perplexed as he felt that something was seemingly holding him down. He suddenly panicked, thinking that it was a chain that rendered him down by Kaleid. When he looked down, though, it was proven otherwise.
It was an arm, hugging his body tightly. He was nonplussed, so he looked to see who owned the arm that was hugging him. Andre felt his body freeze and his muscles tighten as soon as he saw the face of the person hugging him.
A peaceful-looking woman whose beauty cannot be described by him slept soundly at his side, enjoying his presence as a faint smile adorned her face. She was wearing a white nightgown while a white blanket was covering her lower body. He unconsciously extended his hand to touch her face, causing her to faintly flinch.
Her curly eyelashes suddenly fluttered as she slowly opened her innocent-looking eyes and looked at Andre who was looking at her with emotions of love, sadness and longing. "Good morning, Hubby. What made you wake up early?" She greeted with a raspy but pleasant voice, indicating that she was just waking up.
"N-Nari.." Tears ran down his cheeks as he listened to her heavenly voice. Oh how long he had longed to once again be near her. He longed to touch her and be with her for years yet he cannot do so. Seeing his dream right in front of him, he couldn't help but cry.
