Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 475: The Gift Of Fate

In the study, Charlie began to talk from the moment she and the others arrived at Finlier City, and then moved to Dawn Castle. Including the battle between her, Redbeard, and Zeglis, as well as the entire plan that Zeglis had laid down, all of these details were given out in detail. However, Charlie had modified a few of the details. For example, Ceglis had escaped from the encirclement only after seeing that he could not do anything. Instead of abandoning them and running away the moment she saw Allen surrounding her, as she said now.

Although the results were the same, Daniel was slightly unhappy with the subtle sequence.

Charlie noticed what was happening and continued to use words to aggravate the displeasure in Daniel's heart. In the end, Daniel even had an illusion. If Ceglis hadn't fled cowardly, there would probably have been another outcome.

"I knew this mutant wasn't reliable!" Daniel snorted and said, "Since he ruined my business, I must repay him."

"Go notify Barre and have him release an announcement. I want to force this mutant out!"

The old butler obeyed, leaving only Daniel and Charlie in the study. After the old butler left, Daniel realized that today's Charlie was different. Previously, he had a night of revelry with this woman, and the wild nature that Charlie revealed from her bones was enough to provoke any man. The pleasure of conquering her was better than the pleasure of having fun. This reminded Daniel of that crazy night when Charlie had almost squeezed him out. In the end, he had to rely on his own strength to barely conquer this woman.

Now Charlie's lips were pale and her body was wounded, making her look a little weak. It was a mixture of her natural savagery, but it made her feel like she was not being cared for. Instead, he wanted to violate her and listen to her pleading for forgiveness. Daniel's eyes gradually grew more and more, and the temperature in the study room also rose a little. The viscount walked over and gently lifted Charlie's chin.

Sensing the burning temperature in his palm, Charlie forced a smile and said, "My lord, who are you?"

Daniel took a deep breath and said, "What perfume did you use? It tastes good."

Daniel had already smelled a faint fragrance from the moment Charlie came in. It didn't seem to be a synthetic fragrance, but rather a natural scent emanating from her body. This faint fragrance was like a mountain climbing tiger, constantly spreading over his body, pestering him. And now, this fragrance was even more obvious.

"I don't smell any perfume. My lord, my injuries aren't healed yet. I'm afraid I can't serve you." Charlie shrank back into the sofa. This weakening action was like a switch, opening the door in Daniel's heart.

Then the raging flames rose, and Daniel's breathing became heavier. "It doesn't matter, then let me serve you."

"No, no, no, no. How can that be? I..." Charlie's words flashed and she bit her lips lightly, but her eyes still revealed that deadly wildness.

Daniel snorted and picked her up before placing her on the desk. Then, he walked to the study and closed the door. Then, he walked back and ordered, "Lie down!"

Charlie could only close her eyes and lay on the table. Her flat body, the undulating peaks on her body, her flat belly, and the triangle formed by her legs all carried an indescribable attraction. Daniel let out a low roar like a wild beast and roughly tore off Charlie's coat. Then, a pair of majestic peaks jumped into his eyes. The two red spots on the peaks were like sparks, causing the viscount's chest to burst into flames.

Daniel stretched out his hands and clenched them tightly. Charlie immediately let out a mixed groan of pain. At this moment, the viscount injected her with a gunshot wound on her shoulder, which made Charlie look like an injured female leopard. The wild and wild her was now at a time of weakness, and the sharp contrast between the two made Daniel unable to do anything on his own. He spat out a mouthful of rough air and bent down to taste the touching scent of the mountain range.

Charlie's body trembled slightly. She grabbed Daniel's head with both hands, as if she wanted to push him away, but also as if she wanted to press him even tighter against herself. This made Daniel even crazier. He left the dangerous cliff, slid down the flat hinterland, and buried himself in the mysterious forest. Finally, she raised her head and supported Charlie's waist. Like a heavy cannon, she fiercely smashed into the woman's body.

This intense collision caused Charlie to let out a scream, and the corners of her eyes held a few glimmers of water. Daniel couldn't help but roar and sprint forward. He was breathing heavily, and the fragrance in the air was getting denser and denser, continuously pouring into the viscount's body. This fragrance was like a catalyst, causing the fire in Daniel's heart to burn even more violently.

Everything became so wonderful that Daniel had never been so happy before. Especially after a few minutes, Charlie began to cry for mercy. Her fingernails dug out a few faint bloodstains on his body. This made Daniel deeply enjoy the pleasure of conquering.

However, he did not notice that a faint smile flickered in the crack in Charlie's eyes that she occasionally opened. She didn't notice that the faint fragrance emanating from Charlie's body quickly dissipated. In the end, the fragrance completely disappeared.

Finally, the volcano erupted.

Only then did Daniel leave the moving body on the table. He seemed to be so excited that he even felt a little dizzy. After being extremely happy, his body felt even more empty. He smiled and was surprised that he was so crazy. However, looking at the immobile Charlie, the viscount was deeply satisfied.

He patted Charlie's face and said, "You're not bad. Don't worry, I'll give you enough money."

After getting dressed, Daniel walked out of the study and instructed the butler to call the maid to take Charlie down to rest. The viscount walked towards his bedroom, preparing to take a bath to get rid of his filth. However, Fang took two steps and suddenly felt his legs go soft. He was very surprised. With a thought, he circulated his Origin Energy and the feeling of weakness disappeared. At this time, the viscount hadn't discovered that he had permanently lost a trace of Origin Energy.

Baggins' aphrodisiac had the effect of separating the origin energy from the viscount's body, in addition to making Daniel have a strong desire. This effect is continuous and lasts for three months. The amount of separation each time was so small that it was difficult to detect it. When he and Charlie fused together, when the fragrance reached a certain level, it began to work.

In the next month, Daniel's Origin Energy would continue to decline. According to Baggins' calculations, with Daniel's current level, the result would be a drop of one level. Losing an entire level of Origin Energy was no different from a huge blow to him.

At night, the wilderness is dangerous. Sophisticated hunters knew that hunting at night was risking their lives, although there would be some rare wild beasts at night, and they could sell for a good price. However, no one would go hunting at night except hunters who were short of money. After all, even though gold coins were good, they still needed to have a Fate Flower.

The night of the Heavenly Star had no fate with darkness. Apart from the enormous crescent moon hanging high up in the night sky, it would throw silver moonlight towards the earth. In the forest and wilderness, there are also many glowing plants and animals. Like a firefly mushroom, they look ugly in the daytime. The knot-shaped umbrella was so disgusting that even wild beasts were reluctant to eat it. However, at night, the knot-shaped umbrella would glow from the inside out.

When a large number of fireflies and mushrooms gather together, you will find that the forest is like a shining carpet. Countless fireflies resplendent like stars, attracting the attention of nocturnal animals.

A multi-eyed berserk rat, the size of a puppy, arched out of a dirt bag. It had a violent temper. He had several eyeballs, large and small, and had excellent night vision. Because the eyeballs were distributed over almost half of his head, there were almost no blind spots to attack. It was also attracted by the light emitted by the firefly mushroom. The berserk rat came to a cluster of mushrooms and its abdomen wriggled for a while before splitting open, forming a large mouth.

The berserk rat plowed through the mushroom bushes like a farming bull, and with its big mouth open, it ate a large amount of mushrooms. The head of the berserk rat was actually a camouflage organ. In fact, its brain was hidden in that round body. This was a camouflage used by the berserk rat to deceive the hunter. It was precisely this kind of disguise that allowed it to survive in the dangerous wilderness forest.

At this moment, just as the berserk rat finished nibbling on a bush of mushrooms, a rotten wolf emerged from behind an ancient tree with a crisscrossed beard. The rotten wolf was a scavenger, but it was also a natural enemy of the berserk rat. The rotten wolf always had a foul stench on its body. That was because many parts of this terrifying beast's body were corroded, and pus would even drip from its movements. However, the Rotten Wolf only festered on its exterior. Underneath its corroded skin, there was a layer of intact skin. That was the true skin of the Rotten Wolf.

As for the decaying wolf skin on the outer layer, it was also a disguise and a weapon. The reason for that was because the pus left behind by the decomposition of the skin was deadly toxic to many creatures.

The rotten wolf bit the rat's disguised head in one bite, but it cleverly stomped the rat's body to death with its front claws. With a swing of its head, it pulled the rat's disguised head off its body. Large amounts of blood sprayed out from the Rotten Wolf's body, but at most, the Berserk Rat was injured, but it did not die. The Rotten Wolf spat out the rat's head, then continuously shook its head, spraying the poisonous water on the Berserk Rat's body.

Soon, the poisonous water corroded the fur off the rat's body, and the rotten wolf bit it down. The fangs pierced deeply into the berserk rat's body and directly into its brain. As a result, the big mouth under the rat opened uncontrollably and let out bursts of cries.

The roar was low and loud. In less than a minute, the berserk rat had been bitten to death by the rotten wolf. As the wolf was about to leave, it turned around and saw a man sitting under the tree. From the moment it approached to the moment it attacked the berserk rat, it didn't notice the existence of this person at all. It was as if he was a shadow under a tree, as if he didn't have any sense of existence.

The Rotten Wolf felt a huge threat from him. This threat even made it throw away the rat corpse, lowered its center of gravity, and let out a threatening cry with clenched teeth.

"Go away, puppy." The man said in a strange tone.

The Rotten Wolf was obviously not so obedient. He forcefully kicked his hind legs and pounced towards the man. The rotten wolf swept past a patch of mushrooms and was about to bite the man. His body suddenly became motionless. Under his body, several shadow blades pierced through him and lifted him up. The Rotten Wolf struggled desperately, but its intense movements only made the wolf bleed faster, flowing down the shadow blade to the ground and landing on the firefly mushrooms.

The wolf blood was getting more and more, while the rotten wolf was getting weaker. A moment later, it finally lost its aura and lowered its head. The shadow blade that supported it suddenly retracted. With a thud, the wolf corpse fell onto the mushroom bush. The aura of the blood attracted more attention. Various colors of fluorescence appeared in the depths of the forest. The man shook his head and stood up from the ground. He turned around and left.

Not long after, wild beasts that emitted a dangerous aura appeared near the wolf corpse. They were obviously attracted by the smell of blood, but they ignored the murderer who killed the rotten wolf.

Far away from the woodland that had become a "dining table", he found another relatively quiet forest to rest in. Ceglis took off his hat and let out a muffled groan. It was only three hours before dawn. After dawn, he would head north until he returned to his starship's hiding place.

Originally, he had arrived on this planet because he had intercepted the signal sent by Lucy at that time, intending to kidnap the Empress of Adahua Planet in exchange for a large ransom. That was why Ceglis had appeared on this planet. Unexpectedly, after finding the location near the Wilderness Highlands based on the source of the signal, Ceglis sensed Alan's presence. This was due to the resonance between the two inscriptions on the Blood Burning Road, and Ceglis clearly knew more about the Blood Burning Road and the Destroyer Throne.

After all, he had lived longer than Allen, and he had collected more or less information about Eboynes during his interstellar journeys. This was an evolutionary journey. Whoever could reach the end of the bloody path and sit on that throne would become the supreme existence. Evolution, however, comes at a price, as Ellen deduced. Of the seven seals that appeared on the bloody path, only one was able to imprint them on the fire screen of the throne.

This was a bloody path of slaughter. To reach the end, not only would he have to kill all the owners of the other six seals. Accompanied by a large number of victims involved in the war. However, once the bloody path opened, no one was willing to stop. Because stopping means that you will become the stepping stone for other carving masters.

Ceglis didn't want to turn into a dried-up bone on the bloodline, so he was very excited when he discovered Alan's existence. One had to know that there was a resonance between the owner of the inscription, but there was a range. Even if they were powerful enough, they wouldn't be able to sense the location of other competitors even if they weren't on the same planet. Therefore, to be able to meet Alan on this planet at the edge of the universe was a blessing of fate for Ceglis!
