Rye walked through the dimly lit hallway made of granite. Each step of his made seemingly pulled him through hundreds of metres.
After a few seconds, Rye arrived before a wooden door which he opened quickly and walked out.
He arrived at a passage which was one kilometre long and 20 metres high.
Powerful weapons and adornments were on the walls and dark flags hung down from every column.
In the middle was a gigantic round table with some chairs surrounding it.
Rye walked through another door and appeared in a place filled with magical equipment.
There was also a table on it along with many chairs on which various individual sets were.
Waking forward through an indifferent gaze, he took his seat.
"Good Evening Sir."
The two individuals wearing shady clothes stood up
Rye spared them a glance and spoke.
"As you might already know we were able to form a point at the narrow junction of Kinley and Arkham. The demons have done their work and now it is our time to finish the task."
"We don't know when the place will be attacked. So, before the other side made a move, according to the treaty, it was time for us to make a move."
"We need to spread miasma sneakily and secretly as we do and destroy their land. The more we destroy their land, the greater benefit our God will receive."
Rye after explaining the contents of their mission raised his hand towards the place filled with magical equipment.
A small wooden box hovered towards it.
He placed it in the middle of the table under everyone's astonished gaze.
Those who looked at the tiny box could feel a strong power exuding from it which is enough to give them chills.
"What is this Sir?"
Moss asked while wiping her sweat.
"This is the seed of darkness. A seed made by compressing and purifying the dark mana and miasma."
"We don't need to spread miasma by storing them in a suitable container anymore. Just plant it on the ground and within a few hours, it will show the effect."
"What's the difference between the two methods?" Rachel asked.
"Seeing miasma just corrupts the pure mana of this world and it has a limit. Think of it as a vessel filled with foul gas. When opened and spread, it may fill an entire room, a mansion but it can't fill an entire city and has its limit."
"But it's not the case with this," Rye spoke with a smirk.
Rye's works drew the attention of both women.
"Seed of darkness not only corrupts pure mana but it also converts it into darkness mana. What is miasma? It's nothing but dark mana which we spread its limit but with this, we could spread miasma over a wide area. Though it also had its limit, it is still more than enough for now."
"Listen carefully!" Rye spoke with a stern tone.
"We can put it in the ground or some corpse. But due to its nature, it could turn the corpse into undead and if any living creature touched it, his soul would be contaminated and he would turn into a mutation between a creature of darkness and light."
"Now onto the main point," Rye spoke after noticing everyone's curious gaze.
"This thing is very precious and we don't have much here. Divide yourself into two teams."
"One would be dispatched to Kinley and one would be to Arkham. Send the stronger one to Kinley since they are already preparing for the counterattack."
"You can also catch some guys who wanted to adopt our God," Rye spoke with a crooked smile.
"Now I also want one of you to deliver these pills to the people. It was handed to us by them and we need to oversee things personally." Rye spoke and discussed some other things.
Two boxes appeared and two women held them with widened eyes.
The women took the box and walked over to the door and passed through the door, they disappeared from Rye's gaze.
Seeing their figure disappearing, Rye waved his hand and muttered"Have a good hunt."
"Thank you?"
SHING!
The two individuals wearing shady cloth underwent a world-shaking transformation.
Their shady clothes were replaced by dark shining armour covered with various runes giving one an uncomfortable feeling of eeriness.
Darkness started to engulf them and soon their figure fully appeared.
SHING!
Their image flashed and they appeared in the hall filled with many individuals.
All of them had pointy ears and dark tan skills.
Moss and Rachel appeared out of the darkness.
"We greet the heiress of the Azure clan and the Dark Clan."
"We have been given the mission to spread the power of Our God and let them witness the true strength of Our God," Moss shouted
Silence.
The entire hall descended into silence but soon loud overwhelming cheers erupted that echoed throughout the place.
Soon darkness started to appear around them and all of them vanished from the eye.
Soon, many elves appeared out of the underground passage and with a loud blast all of them shot forward.
Their speed was quite fast and since dark elves boasted great skills in hiding and assassins, they made sure to cover the tracks from outside.
.......
The sun was shining brightly on the outside but for some, their vision seemed to be covered by endless darkness.
Inside a cave made by the overlap of huge boulders extending to form an elevated ridge, several people lay unconscious.
The wind seemed to be stagnant and the scent inside the cave was nauseating, putrid and steaky or it was something like leather being tanned over a flame.
The scent was emitted from the pile of men laying there unconscious.
A deathly silence prevailed in the narrow space.
The bodies were stacked in place and none of the bodies moved an inch.
The scene was akin to a group of people who were half brunt and stuffed into a place to die.
The thick nauseating scent was carried outside and naturally many beasts caught the whiff of the delicious meat.
And many even approached the place to take a look but none of them moved inside or stepped into a certain radius of the place.
The reason?
Because their senses alarmed them of a threat they stepped inside.
Moreover, before them laid the corpses of strong beasts rotting in the open.
There was the oppression of an apex-level predator standing on the peak. The predator seemed to have marked its territory which no beast dared to cross.
Still, certain brave beasts tried to jump over the corpse but as they stepped near the opening, something invisible hit them and they slumped to the ground with a large thud causing the other beast to run away in fear.
At the corner of the cave, a man rested against the wall while holding a woman in his arms so tightly that it looked like the man feared that the woman in his arms would disappear if he let her.
Out of everyone there, only he was the conscious one.
Inside the partially dark place, he raised his head and his gaze emanated a chill filled with ruthlessness to the point he shed tears of blood while gritting his teeth in rage.
