陶醉的妻子

This of course made Isadora confused. But she then grinned thinly because she knew what could change Svaros\' behavior to this stage. He had taken quite a beating from the Dragonborn; Isadora knew about it.

But it still took a few hard punches, not just one, to make Svaros realize that he couldn\'t fight the Dragonborn. Now that meant he was still pretty stubborn. Even though Isadora herself felt enough after losing to the Dragonborn just once.

"(You\'ve changed a little,)" Isadora said accompanied by a grin full of sarcasm.

"(Don\'t push me,)" Svaros replied in a voice that almost sounded like a growl.

Isadora let out a chuckle. "(Let\'s get back to the business, then,)" Isadora said. "(We can\'t rule that world if we don\'t combine forces. Now the Dragonborn and his helpers have finished installing some kind of artifact to block the effects of Magic awakening and our influence.)"

Svaros frowned. "(So that\'s what they do in those places.)"

"(Yes. He also had an Elf accompanying him back then and I suspect he still has another colleague.)"

Svaros just kept silent and listened. He actually doesn\'t like listening to other gods talk, especially when it\'s related to carrying out his desires. However, now he realized that he needed their help.

"(With those artifacts we can\'t expand our influence and add more minions. I also have to withdraw all my existing minions in that world to restore my Magic energy after my fight with the Dragonborn.)"

A grin appeared on Svaros\'s lips. Isadora seemed to have suffered a crushing defeat like him and that made Svaros feel better.

Isadora immediately noticed the grin. She said in an irritated tone. "(You\'re smiling? Don\'t you remember how the Dragonborn absolutely wreck you many times?)"

After hearing that the smile on Svaros\' face vanished. The cold rage within his eyes intensified.

Isadora waved her hand in the air as if to dismiss the matter. If they continued at this rate they would just be fighting again and it was pretty insignificant for the current situation.

"(Never mind. Let\'s just focus on what we are doing now. I have already conveyed what I know, so now it\'s your turn,)" Isadora said.

There was a sound like two stones rubbing against each other in Svaros\' throat. It was the sound of his growling trying to swallow his anger. For Svaros it was quite an undertaking.

"(I\'ve possessed a human child,)" Svaros said.

Isadora eyed him. "(How much?)"

"(Enough to take out half of my power if I will.)"

Svaros\' answer surprised Isadora; because that meant Svaros just continued to focus a large amount of his influence on the boy before the artifacts activated and limited their power.

But that\'s also a good thing. Isadora grinned and then said. "(We can use it as our secret weapon.)"

Svaros nodded. They continued the conversation to make plans together in Svaros\'s throne room accompanied by several heated arguments. Meanwhile, out there, Ozynk is executing his plan which is going much smoother than what the two of them did.

President Julius decided to return to the presidential palace today because he felt that the situation had improved a lot. So General Lennard could only comply with his request. He don\'t forget to bring all of his personal bodyguards too.

After becoming a unit together as presidential bodyguards, the ten of them started to get to know each other better. Erend, Adrien, and Billy never thought they would get to this point.

They assumed that the ten soldiers would behave like people who had been influenced by the creatures from the madness-filled Chaos Realm. But it turns out they are just normal humans.

Erend knew the reason. That\'s because the creatures that possessed President Julius\'s body decided to retreat so they had to cancel their intention to extend their influence to the ten soldiers.

Erend, Adrien, and Billy had talked a lot with them and felt that they were fine people.

They were previously members of the special forces and were the best of the best in their unit.

"So what happened in that world? Did you guys see any hot Elves?" one of them, a man with a bald head and a grin that was always visible on his face named John, asked.

"Well, they\'re all good looking," Billy replied. "However, most of them are very dangerous. You can\'t let your guard down around them."

"But you guys survived there, didn\'t you? How did you guys do that?" Another soldier named Josh asked his question.

Billy turned to Adrien and Erend for help answering that question.

"Not all of them are bad," Adrien said. "There are some of them that help us solve a lot of problems."

Josh and John nodded in understanding. But the other soldiers were still not satisfied.

"So they just like humans?" Another soldier named Alfie said with a chuckle.

Adrien, Erend, and Billy exchanged glances for a few moments. Then Adrien said to agree with Alfie\'s words.

"Yes. They are not that much different from us humans."

The group walked through the damaged and messy street due to debris and debris. The truck that lifted the ten soldiers was behind a black SUV where Julius was.

Julius was now alone in the back seat with his eyes closed. There was only himself and a driver who was concentrating on driving so that this car would not hit the debris from the collapsed building.

In his calm position, Julius only seemed to be sleeping in his chair. However, the creature inside Julius\'s body is now doing something.

There wasn\'t enough Magic energy here so Ozynk couldn\'t track down the people he wanted to find as fast as he wanted. But in the end, he still found them.

A long sigh of relief escaped Julius\' mouth. He opened his eyes after he finished doing that and smiled faintly.

\'You will be my first target.\'

An hour later they arrived at the presidential palace after circling to find the most appropriate path to pass.

President Julius behaved as if he had returned to himself and started doing his tasks. Meanwhile, Adrien, Erend, and Billy along with seven other soldiers acted as his personal bodyguards.

Only Erend knows otherwise. Unfortunately, he hasn\'t had the chance to say that to Adrien and Billy yet. Erend also has to keep his demeanor so he doesn\'t look suspicious or the creature that resides inside Julius\' body will further hide its whereabouts.

All that day Erend saw that President Julius was just doing his usual activities as if it were him. He didn\'t know whether it was because the influence of the creature was getting less, or because the creature was too good at disguises so the president didn\'t look suspicious at all.

\'Anyway, I can\'t let my guard down.\'

And so, Erend continued what he was doing as he should. He also kept looking to tell what he heard from Conrad to Adrien and Billy.

~~~

Conrad could only stay in his room inside the military base now because he didn\'t know what else he could do other than that. He no longer has his Magic and he doesn\'t even have family he can visit.

Thomas came after he finished with something. But he did not come empty-handed. There is a laptop in his hand. Thomas drew closer to Conrad and pulled up a chair.

"What did you bring this time?" Conrad asked.

"I accidentally discovered some strange things happening in two places in the world," Thomas answered straight to the point.

"Take a look at this."

Thomas opened the laptop and showed Conrad what he had found. Conrad, who didn\'t feel that there was anything more important for him to do, decided to take the time to look at the laptop.

On the laptop were photos of two places that appeared to have just been hit by an explosion and suffered quite a bit of damage. Conrad narrowed his eyes.

"What is this?" Conrad asked.

"I don\'t know. These places are very remote and far from civilization. There shouldn\'t be anything in those places that can create this kind of destruction," Thomas replied.

Conrad zooming out that picture. Thomas was right, that place is very remote. But that\'s what makes it all even more strange. What was even stranger was that, there was one of those places where there were lots of animal corpses lying around in horrible conditions.

"Why are you showing this to me?" Conrad asked.

Thomas shrugged. "Well, I thought you\'d figure something out. This is all very strange and considering everything that\'s been going on lately, this might have something to do with it."

"Wait." Conrad seemed to remember something. "This places..."

Conrad zoomed in again and saw a circular rock formation from above. His eyes widened, and he came to a realization.

"Is this... Adaeram?"
