Child of Destiny-Novel

...

While the battle between Shin's group and the undead army was taking place, the news of the battle immediately spread throughout the Beast Glaze Kingdom before being a huge hit online once again.

But this time, the players were no longer surprised about the news since they seemed to be already used to Shin and his gang appearing online.

But at the same time, these players also became excited about the news since they were thinking that Arthur and Leonard were really planning to create their own team. And now that they were creating yet another commotion on another kingdom, they seemed to confirm the rumors running around the community.

Moreover, there were also new faces among the group. And even if it was not confirmed yet, the players who saw them were thinking that they were the other members of the team that the Dragon God and War God were planning to create.

What's more, the new faces were also players who had a solid reputation of their own. Some of them might be new players who recently became famous in their respective kingdoms but they were still talented enough to attract the attention of the powerful guilds.

Then there was Charlotte who had the godlike title of Elemental Goddess. And the fact that she was among the group shocked quite a lot of players. It was not new for her to work with other experts, but since there was currently a rumor surrounding Siegfried and Simba, it was not strange for the players to misunderstand her joining their team.

To present some evidence, there was even a video attached to the post which showed the current state of the battle. And when the players saw that, they became even more sure about the rumors.

– "Dragon God Siegfried and War God Simba are really building an elite team" – was the thought that was running inside everyone's head at this point in time.

Meanwhile, the news about Shin and the group fighting the undead army also reached the ears of their enemies.

"Elder Zaza, our forces have indeed been intercepted by our enemies. What are we going to do next? Are we going to entrap them with everything now?" said a Twilight as he kneeled behind the Elder.

Hearing that, Elder Zaza suddenly raised one of his eyebrows before wearing a huge grin. "Is that so? Then everything that that kid has said came true."

"But it is not the right time yet. We can't reveal our real intention yet until we figure out where the Maiden of the Church of Light is hiding," he instructed while waving his hand.

Twilight suddenly clenched his hands when he heard that before asking. "But this is the perfect opportunity to strike now. We can even capture those guys and present them to the Great Leader. I'm sure-…"

He was still in the middle of talking when he suddenly felt a heavy pressure that was trying to suffocate him. Then he heard the cold voice of the Elder, seemingly threatening him.

"Are you questioning my decision?"

And when the Twilight heard those words, he immediately panicked and started pleading. "No! I will never dare to question your decision, Elder! Please, forgive me. I will make sure that this is not going to happen ever again."

"Heh! I will spare you for now since you still have a job here. But I can't guarantee that you will still be safe once we get back in our base," said Elder Zaza smirkingly.

Then another voice suddenly interrupted the two. "I think that should be enough, Elder. We still have to proceed on the next part of our plan."

"You are already back? How is the preparation going? Did you already finish everything?" asked the elder as he turned his attention towards the newcomer.

It was a player who was wearing the same type of cloak as the elder. And based on the special features that he had, it was pretty clear that his race was closely related to Demon Race instead of the Undead Race, especially with those long black horns sticking out on his forehead.

But due to the pale complexion of his skin and the dead-like eyes that he had, other people might think that he was an undead instead of a demon.

He was also holding a metal fan with steel blades on its tip, indicating that it was a special weapon. And hiding underneath his cloak was a full-body light armor that was meant for combat assassins and swordsmen

p On top of these, his black hair and crimson pupils were also complementing his overall appearance which was making him look like an evil and scheming person.

"Sir Beelzebub, it-…" the Twilight was about to greet the new guy but he immediately interrupted before he could even complete his words.

"There is no need for the greeting. Just do what you are told to do and don't make any mistakes," said the guy named Beelzebub while gesturing to Twilight to leave.

"Yes, Sir!"ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

And when the Twilight disappeared, Beelzebub turned his head towards the elder once again before saying. "Let me remind you again, Elder Zaza. We are only doing this for cooperation, so don't go running around and telling people that I am a messenger of your Cult."

"If not for our leader commissioning me for this matter, then I will not associate myself with the likes of you," he added while squinting his eyes.

On the other hand, Elder Zaza suddenly laughed before sneering. "That is rich coming from you. Aren't you just a hybrid of an Undead and a Demon? You are not even pureblood, unlike the others."

'Tsk! This d*mn NPC,' cursed Beelzebub internally before saying. "You should order your people now and tell them to get ready. This part of the plan is the most important one, so you better make it clear to them not to mess up just like the last time."

"Or else, I might personally discipline them later," he added smirkingly.

Hearing that, the elder suddenly frowned his brows before saying. "I will handle my people, so don't you dare touch any of them."

Then a heavy pressure suddenly came out of nowhere before trying to crush Beelzebub. But regardless of the strong pressure pressing on him, the latter seemed to be unaffected by it and just stood on his spot calmly.

Then he took off the cloak that he was wearing and threw it to the side before saying. "Anyways, this is where our contract ends. Whether you are going to succeed or not is our problem anymore."

After that, he turned around and started walking towards the darker parts of the room while adding. "But let me remind you, the Beast Glade Kingdom is yours while we are taking the treasure within the Chief's Palace."

A moment later, Beelzebub finally disappeared within the shadows and left Elder Zaza behind. The elder stared at the spot where the former disappeared before smirking. "Heh! What a cocky little demon. He better watches his back the next time we meet."

...

On the other hand, Beelzebub suddenly appeared in an alley within the capital city of the Beast Glade Kingdom.

He looked left and right to make sure that no one saw him before walking in a certain direction. And when he arrived at his destination, a group of hooded players was already waiting for him in that place.

When the group saw him, they quickly kneeled in front of him and greeted him. "Welcome back, Sir!"

"Tsk! What are we? Do you think that we are some sort of gangster or something? Stop greeting me like that," said Beelzebub while wearing a deep frown.

Then he swept his gaze at everyone before asking. "Is everyone already here?"

"Yes, Sir! We are only waiting for you to give your orders," said the player who was in the forefront of the group.

"Then let's get moving already. This place is about to get lively," said Beelzebub as he pulled out a scroll from his inventory.

But while he was in the middle activating it, the guy in front of him immediately asked. "Are you sure about this, Sir? Those guys from the Corrupted Cult are-…"

Unfortunately, Beelzebub didn't let him finish what he wanted to say and immediately smirked. "Why would I care about those guys? I already laid a perfect plan for them. So, if they still fail after all of that, then it is their incompetence and not ours."

"Fortunately, they are not going to affect us even if they indeed failed. At the very least, they can be a distraction that will keep everybody else busy while we are doing our own job. Isn't it a good thing?" he added sneeringly.

After that, he swept his gaze on his subordinates once again before saying. "Don't treat me like the other 'Troupe Members'. I will do everything I can just to finish my task. Even if it means using 'Sweepers' like you."

Then he crushed the scroll that he was holding while continuing. "I am not called the 'Greed Devil' for nothing. So, anything that I want should be mine! Everything should be going according to how I desire it to be!"
