Sign In To The Body Of Chaos At The Start-Chapter 55: Nether-Dream Abyssal Emperor!
Chapter 55: Nether-Dream Abyssal Emperor!
"Principal Flandre, Rosalyn Neverwinter and Achilles have both been killed in the Dream Illusion Killing Technique!"
The random teacher who had suddenly barged into the Office managed to squeak out those words under the terrifying aura of Blaze.
"WHAT!!" Blaze roared out in both anger and disbelief, and Sylvia jumped up in shock alongside her. Damon remained seated, managing to keep his cool. After all, it would be of no benefit to anyone if he needlessly lost his composure during the current situation.
Damon looked at the teacher in question, spotting a rather tall but beautiful fairy race lady. Damon didn’t recognize her as a teacher for any of his current subjects, which meant that the Fairy lady was presumably a teacher for Upperclassmen, who had already completed at least one ( 1 ) year at the Academy.
"Calm down and explain what happened to us carefully Professor Katarina!" Blaze’s facial expression turned grave and serious as she spoke to the Fairy Race professor, who Damon now knew was named Katarina.
Professor Katarina took a few seconds to fully calm herself down before looking directly to Blaze and beginning to speak,
"Principal Blaze, the bodies of Achilles, the Son of the Giant Race’s Grand Elder and Rosalyn Neverwinter, the Daughter of the Fairy Princess were found just recently. After investigation, they were killed using the Dream Illusion Killing Technique. We’ve secretly taken their bodies into the Academy Health Chamber, but their deaths have already been leaked. Both Achilles’ and Rosalyn’s parents have arrived." Katarina’s words echoed within the Principal’s Office, and a complete silence enveloped the environment.
"Thank you Katarina, we’ll be at the Academy Health Chamber in a moment." Blaze said and waved her hand, signaling Katarina to leave the Office, which she promptly did, leaving only Damon, Sylvia and Blaze in the room.
The trio looked at each-other in silence, each trapped in their own personal thoughts. Damon had only arrived at the Academy extremely recently, and they hadn’t even have time to fully explain the situation to him, yet two ( 2 ) more students had died.
Worse yet, not only did the students have very influential families and connections, but they had died within the Academy, meaning that the Academy had failed their duties of sufficiently protecting them.
And now with Damon and Sonna recently arriving at the Academy, it would be hard for them not to be prime suspects.
"It seems like we underestimated their ruthlessness and speed of action. Worse yet, this was extremely premeditated. The parents of the victims have arrived before I, the Principal, was even made aware the students had died. I’m afraid this was all orchestrated in a manner to make it neigh impossible for Damon and Sonna to defend themselves. The planner obviously wants Demons to completely lose all their influence." Blaze said.
A grim expression was on her face. People had managed to ruthlessly kill 2 prominent students in her school without her knowledge, and set up a scheme that threatened an entire race’s stability, all without her being able to catch a sniff of them, it was embarrassing to her pride, not only as a Dragon, but as a person, and Principal of Austonia Academy.
"Not only do they want the Demons to lose their influence, they obviously want Damon and Sonna dead. Especially by inviting the parents, if sufficient proof isn’t found, the parents will have probable cause to accuse both of them and send them to a probationary jail until further notice. There, it will be easy to have them killed, cutting off future Demon powerhouses." Sylvia chimed in with her view of the situation.
All the while, Damon himself stayed mostly quiet. Trying to think of who would want the Demons to lose their influence was impossible. Almost every race aside from the Elves would be massive suspects, and even if he narrowed it down, it wouldn’t stop the major potential crisis presented in front of him currently.
"Lets go and inspect the bodies, and meet the parents along the way. It won’t hurt to see if we missed anything with the way these students die." Damon said, to which Blaze and Sylvia nodded.
Together, the trio went to the Academy Health Chamber!
____________________________________________________
The Academy Health Chamber was located in a different building to the Main Academy activities. Damon walked into the building alongside Blaze and Sylvia, spotting a variety of people worriedly standing around awaiting their arrival.
The building looked like a Higher-Technology Hospital, painted in all white. The workers of the Health Chamber were dressed in all white Magical Clothing. As soon as the trio arrived, all eyes immediately went to them.
Damon quietly followed Sylvia and Blaze, many people watching him while displaying a variety of emotions, some were angry, some were calm, some displayed a mocking expression, but Damon paid them no heed.
Not long after, the trio had arrived in front of a room. According to Sylvia, this room was where the bodies of Rosalyn and Achilles were located.
Outside the room, the entire hallway was completely clear aside from 2 persons, a man and a woman, who he presumed to be the parents of the 2 victims he had heard about.
The man was obviously a Giant, a ferocious aura stained with killing intent emitting from his body. No doubt cultivated through extensive battle and killing his enemies. Although he restrained most of his aura, it was still tyrannical and fear inducing, and Damon could tell that the Giant was a DemiGod!
He wasn’t in his Giant Form, but was still at around 7’5 in height. His body was muscular, a variety of deep battle scars on his arms particularly and he stared at Damon and the others with a venomous, deadly look, no doubt recognizing them, especially Damon.
On the contrary, the lady next to him looked much more calm, a serene, elegant temperament to her every movement as she looked at Damon. Her eyes held large distraught and loss, yet were also filled to the brim with determination, no doubt wanting to find out who killed her daughter.
She is a stunningly beautiful woman, her body plump in all the right places and slim in others. Her clothes with rainbow coloured, and beautiful flashy wings were glittering on her back. Despite her elegant and serene aura, Damon could tell that she too was at least at the DemiGod Realm.
"Hello Princess Columbia Neverwinter and Grand Elder Pangu, we’re so very sorry for your loss and are determined to find out the source of these killings. Hopefully we can cooperate." Blaze stepped forward and stretched out her hand, her voice filled with sincerity.
Princess Columbia didn’t respond, deciding to just nod and wait to enter the room and see her dead daughter’s body, however, Grand Elder Pangu was less calm.
"Hmphh! It’s been hundreds if not thousands of years. Even your predecessors haven’t found a shred of evidence to how this Dream Illusion Killing Technique works and how to track it, yet you remain sending empty promises. Besides, why is the #1 suspect in my Son’s killing with you." Pangu responded, his ferocious eyes locked onto Damon.
Blaze cleared her throat and responded," While it’s true there haven’t been recent breakthroughs in tracking the killers. We can’t just stop investigating. As for why Damon Rivelea is here, Lady Sapphire requested he be involved in the investigation to figure out who is framing the Demons, I hope you understand."
Pangu didn’t respond, simply looking away. Blaze walked forward and opened the door and all 5 of them entered the room. Their eyes were immediately drawn to the 2 bodies currently on the bed.
Damon inspected them and understood the weirdness to the situation. The bodies of the victims were unlike most corpses. They were still in pristine condition. However, he could see that the Souls of the victims were completely devoured, similar to the way Demons used dreams to kill persons and devour their souls.
Damon had to sigh. If he didn’t know for sure that the Demons weren’t the killers, he would’ve probably thought that Demons conducted these killings as well. It could be said to be a perfect case, too similar to the way Demons used dreams to kill others.
Pangu and Princess Columbia both came to the bodies of their respective children, using their DemiGod Realm prowess to inspect and search for clues. But similar to every victim before them, there was no clues to be found. It was a pretty open and shut case on the surface.
"Freya, Ezreal did you 2 find anything." Damon asked his World Spirits using his Spiritual Sense.
"I’m afraid not master. According to all my knowledge, the only conclusion I could come to was that a Demon killed these two." Ezreal responded to Damon’s inquiry, and Freya agreed with his conclusion.
However, Damon could be sure that a Demon didn’t kill Rosalyn or Achilles. The reason was that he had used his <Eyes Of Oblivion>. He had trained these eyes extensively over the years, and using its abilities, he could tell that Rosalyn and Achilles didn’t die to the Demon’s Racial Ability to invade dreams.
"Can I inspect them closer?" Damon asked. Blaze hesitated, but decided to agree, allowing him to move closer.
Damon took her up on her approval, moving closer to the bodies of Rosalyn and Achilles. He raised his hand and Aether began overflowing from his palm, immediately encapsulating their bodies. Aether flowed through their bodies as Damon used it to inspect their bodies.
"Hhmm, it’s as I predicted." After around 2 minutes of inspection, Damon suddenly said, his eyebrows furrowed with confusion and worry.
"What is it?" Blaze asked. Pangu and Princess Columbia also perked their ears, eager to see what Damon had found.
"They had been killed using the power of an Abyssal Monster! To be precise, it’s the Nether-Dream Abyssal Emperor!" Damon suddenly said.
"What species is that. I’ve never even heard of that species of Abyssal Monster." Sylvia said, voicing the concerns of everyone else present in the room.
"My mother had only found out about this type of Abyssal Monster 2 years ago. Most Nether-Dream Abyssal Emperor’s don’t leave the Abyss, so we’re unable to research them. My mother got lucky finding out about them. This type of Abyssal Monster uses dreams to devour the souls of enemies to strengthen themselves. However, judging from the aura on the bodies of Rosalyn and Achilles, it was an Artifact imbued with the power of the Monster that was used in the killings." Damon said, and a silence descended on the room.
Pangu and Columbia in particular were shocked, they didn’t expect there to be such a secret to the deaths of their children. Damon allowed the information to simmer for a while before continuing to speak.
"However, I can’t track where the Artifact is. They’ll have to use it again before I can track it. Once we track down who owns the artifact, then we can gather information on why they’re colluding with the Abyss and end this pathetic scheme." Damon’s words were laced with utter disgust as he thought about the killers.
"So how do we get them to use the Artifact again. I must find out who KILLED MY SON!" Pangu said, his voice shaking the entire building as his anger ignited flames of revenge in his eyes.
Damon simply smirked and responded, his eyes glowing with a venomous glare of conspiracy, "That’s simple,
Just lure the Fish with the Bait!"
