Chapter 261: Vanir Clan

"Melinoë, are you ok?" I bitterly asked towards the drooling girl staring off into space? How the hell I became a nanny to a god is beyond me.

Pushing a long strand of silky ashen hair from her brow, Melinoë turned towards me, staring at me in confusion, "Arsene? That is your name, right?'

"I definitely need to get you those pills I had when I was young. Have you seen a doctor about this fucked up mess?"

"It's a Mortal Doa Arsene," Said Melinoë wiping the drool from her chin, "Mortal Dao's are broken, and its effects are the same. Without perfect control, one will go insane or become bent to their own Dao. There is no cure. And unless there is a pill filled with a powerful Heavenly Dao or Mortal Dao, forget trying to help."

I swear if it's not a crazy devil, it's this crazy bitch. Why me? Did someone ask the heavens to fuck me over? No, it has to be the Nines. Someone is fucking with me. Is this why shit like this always happens to me?

"Get up; we are leaving. I need to go to the Vanirs. They will be helping me build an Army. I told them, you are a god, so just do as you please. Enjoy whatever they have; it will probably be on my tab anyway."

"You know I can pay for myself!" melinoë cold spat.

"Oh, then please do." I coldly return, "it's about time one of you do."

"Are you being sexist?"

"I am whatever I want to be! Take it how you wish I don't care." I carelessly stated.

"Someone's in a bad mood! Come tell Aunty Melinoë what happened." Jeered the Goddess of Madness

Flickering away, I sighed, sitting in the lotus position upon a random house when I felt space being to flicker. Watching the Tan Devil appear before capturing the stars with her beauty, I arose.

"Are you ready?"

"I am master... And Zan wants to apologize for..."

"Don't. I should have expected something from you and your kind. This is on me," I weakly said, recalling the searing images of those bodies embedded into my soul.

Rising to my feet, the emerald eyes of Melinoë, Entered my sights. Stretching my arms out, Zanris and Melinoë took them without hesitation.

"Not going to say goodbye to that woman and Eluf?" Melinoë suddenly asked?

"My journey has not ended; I will be back. But business before pleasure." I stated with a bitter smile teleporting everyone to Silvia.

Bending through space, my feet suddenly felt the icy fields of the large plain before me. However, no matter how I looked, I could not see any sign of the Vanir Sect.

"It's quite marvelous, don't you think?" Melinoë whispered to me, pointing her finger up past the clouds. Dropping my jaw in awe, a silver gate entered my vision.

"It's magnificent, is it not Mr. Snow!" A rugged voice called out from behind me.

Turning to the dwarf, memories of what transpired suddenly flickered through my soul, "It has been a while, Grandmeir. How have you been!"

"I would like to say it is good to see you as well, but that would be a lie," Grandmeir bluntly stated without a change in expression, "But congrats on your breakthrough based on your aura. It's quite recent."

"Come now, Grandmeir, you can say that with a little more expression and not as a formality." Said Silvia as she walked up.

"A man who leaves his troops is no student of mine. He left; there is nothing more to say about this."

Shugging without a care, I pointed to the gates, "How do we get to the top?" I lightly asked, staring towards the large gate within the skies.

"We wait!" Stated Grandmeir

"I don't wait!" I returned, spreading my wings high into the air.

Widening his eyes at my magnificent wings, a cold intent began to consume the air, "Arsene, this is not how..."

"Grandmeir, I had an awful day, and it's only the morning. Save it for someone who cares." I coldly said, taking to the skies with Melinoë and Zanris.

Turning towards the Dwarf, Melinoë eyed his small stature with intrigue, "That man, he seems different. There was no hate in him, only disappointment. "

"He actually is a good person. It's just my time and energy cannot be wasted following the rules. I am in a war, and that man only sees me as a student. He is kind-hearted and strict, and it leaves me with few options. I would hate to have him killed. Let's hope it doesn't come to that."

Pursing her lips, Zanris hesitated to speak, eyeing me with trepidation.

"Ummm, master, c..."

"Just spit it out, Zan. I am not mad... Ok, I am, but I will not take it out on you, ok." I lightly said towards her pitiful expression. Although for the life of me, she definitely doesn't deserve forgiveness.

"Master, why not turn him? You have Melinoë, me, and many other people that could easily turn him. Why don't you?" She asked, cutting to the heart of the matter.

"It's because it is not necessary. I have many within his realm in Hallr... I guess it's not called that anymore, huh. But it still stands, Grandmeir shows no real aspects I like..."

"it seems you are hesitant, Melinoë suddenly said, arching her lips, "It almost seems you want him to not suffer under your hands. Has that man gotten to your cold heart? How surprising."

Snickering, I peered down towards the moody dwarf. "No, I don't think that's it, but we will see." I hummed, turning my gaze towards the large gate guarded by two Dao Seed masters.

"HALT, YOU ARE AT THE GATE OF VALOR! ENTRANCE TO THE VANIR'S" One of the guards shouted in haste and power.

"you can stop yelling; we are right here!" I replied back, picking my ears in annoyance.

"Arsene Snow, you are to wait with the others!" The other guard suddenly commented to my surprise.

Snorting in disdain, I lifted my head high, "Me, wait? I don't wait. Let me in, or I walk!" I shouted for all to hear, pushing Soulforce into my throat.

"Oh? You think we care if you leave?" An effeminate voice from the void suddenly claimed. " Leave boy, but who will take you?"

Releasing a deep laugh, not feeling the least bit trapped, "So is the Vanir Clan saying I am no longer welcome? Fine than Melinoë, Zanris, let us go!"

"Huh? that's it your not going to fight to enter?" Melinoë quickly asked, pulling my sleeve.

"Nope, it's there lost." I arrogantly stated without giving a single fuck." But I am sure whoever is spouting horse shit will hear it from the capital."

Pushing qi into the rune of teleportation space began to bend as a desperate voice echoed out, "WAIT!!! STOP!"
