Chapter 1100: Blake's Short Temper
-----
(Blake's POV)
Once I finally absorbed the Netherworld Fog into my Umbral Crimson Shadows and created a new dimension within it to store my Abyssal Vampiric Undead Familiars, I moved out, appearing within the battlefield.
I was fully prepared to finish off whatever was ready, only to find out that mostly everything was finally defeated, aside from the few thousands of foes inside of Evergrace, which Erika, Erdrich, and Elizabeth were taking care of.
And... well, there was Bestellen there. The bastard was happily sitting over his own ass, lazily yawning as he commanded Ruby to fight while he did absolutely nothing!
So this is how he behaves when I'm not around?! Who does he think he is? Back in the battle against Mammon, he barely did enough despite his strength!
And now he's lazing around... Maybe I should have just eaten his soul instead? Completely! Or perhaps I could eat his ego and personality and leave him as a mindless beast that will finally obey my commands.
"That lizard sure thinks he's great, lazing around there like nothing!" Eleanora was furious. "Master, will you punish that lazy beast?"
"I should, right?" I nodded, rubbing my chin.
"P-Papa, don't be mean! Remember that Bestellen is very old so he's like a grandpa..." said Saphira.
She was a very nice girl, having compassion for a scumbag like Bestellen.
He quickly noticed my furious aura as I was right in front of him.
Eleanora and Saphira were by my left and right.
Eleanora wanted me to kill him, Saphira wanted him to forgive him.
Yet... well, I inclined more towards Eleanora for the time being.
"Bestellen... You useless, lazy piece of...!"
I started berating him, preparing myself to beat him to death.
"Eh?! W-Wait a second! I just fought and defeated a big guy! Heeey!"
"Okay, I'll do it! Tch!" he complained. "Not like I have any other option, dammit! Did I really lose about that brat?! How could this be possible! Me the great Bestellen, cleaning bugs now?!"
He called the "bugs" but they were all lizardmen and draconic beasts capable of destroying whole cities with their numbers.
Yet his claws, stomps, and fire burned and crushed them like bugs, indeed.
Those that tried to escape at long last met a swift end, as Garnef and the rest of the undead and my familiars slaughtered them for us.
"Well, anyways..."
I sighed in relief, as I saw the last few hundred foes die, and then everything finally went calm.
"Wit this, Evergrace is conquered," I sighed in relief. "There are three more cities to go. But before that, we'll stop here and rest until tomorrow. I need to go to the Tower over there myself, so you can stay here in the meantime."
"The Tower...?" wondered Erika, looking into the distance. "Right! The Trial Tower! You've been max level for a while, right?"
"Yeah," I nodded. "The coordinates told me that that's the Tower I must go into. It's a single trial per Level Cap, but still, I don't know what truly awaits me beyond that tower's gates."
"At the very least you can eat a bit and rest? It's very early," said Elizabeth. "We finished this quite quickly... Ah, let me quickly cleanse all the souls, so we can truly say we're done."
"Yeah, can you purify these too?" I asked Elizabeth, letting go of thousands of souls from my shadows. "They're from all the undead that bastard had saved."
I pointed at Garnef Abyssal Vampiric Undead form, as he began sweating by the intense glare of Elizabeth.
"I guess he already died... He'll be a good asset for you, so I'll let him be," she sighed. "For now... Let's purify these souls and let them go to the afterlife in peace."
Elizabeth smiled, waving her hands as her holy powers were unleashed, seas of blinding, holy spiritual light encompassed the entire city.
The cluster of souls I had released quickly began separating into thousands of tiny souls, taking the shape of people, they looked relieved, finally happy.
"You went through a lot... I'm sorry I couldn't come to help you when you were alive," I sighed. "But please, rest assured, what remains of your kind is well protected, and we will free your country, rest in peace."
My speech made many of the souls' nod with tranquility, disappearing amidst the clouds above the sky, this afterlife, whatever it is, must be a really nice place.
I hope they can finally rest.
