Modern World Warlock-Chapter 205: Mythic Relics

As the meeting with the vampires and the Jade Dragons continued, they came up with a plan to allow Lilith to get kidnapped and sent to the cartel's territory.

"We should also fake Megan's death…" Camille commented.

The Zeta Team of scientists was able to create body doubles using the same materials that were used for ballistic dummies.

By making one that resembled Megan, they could make it look like she was brutally killed and have the vampires take a picture of it as proof.

"Are you sure you are okay with that? I don't mind breaking relations with those weirdos…" Asphodel casually commented.

Camille and Dante gave the vampires a brief summary of the past few months and explained that everything that happened with the Blood Dragons was influenced by the cartel.

"We've been their target for years, and they keep resorting to all these cowardly shit… I think it's time for us to end this rivalry soon," Camille said.

After exchanging information and devising a plan to retaliate to the Onyx Cartel, the alliance between the vampires and the Jade Dragons was official.

Dante asked Asphodel if she had given her clan a name, but the woman denied it.

"After I evolved into a Mother, I had this strange feeling that I was the leader of the Blood Moon Clan—I don't want to call it that," Asphodel replied with a severe tone.

The warlock understood and left the matter aside, noting that the name of the clan wasn't important anyway.

"Okay, I've been patiently waiting for someone to ask, but it seems like the responsibility lies with me…" Zac interjected.

"What the hell were those weapons that you two used during your encounter!?" the redhead asked, referring to Dante and Asphodel.

The warlock didn't seem interested in telling, but the vampire Mother beamed with excitement and pride, explaining that they were called "Mythic Relics."

Lilith laughed aloud after hearing that Dante used his relic, confusing everyone around her, as they didn't understand what was so amusing about it.

Asphodel explained that Mythic Relics were weapons bound to an individual's soul, and they were given to them by different entities.

"An entity? Like a god?" Zac inquired.

"Not exactly…" she replied.

The vampire Mother elaborated and said that in the world of Terra, entities were the only beings that people couldn't summon or talk to by any means.

On the other hand, the gods from the Pantheon of Four were known for showing themselves before the masses.

If a person ever went through an ordeal that an entity considered worthy, they would bless those individuals with their relic, allowing them to summon it and use it at any time.

Moreover, each Mythic Relic was unique, so two individuals could never summon the same weapon.

Zac pondered why Dante never used it, especially during his fight with Astaroth, where he believed it could have come in handy, making the warlock sigh with exasperation.

"It just brings bad memories…" Dante replied.

During the time that the warlock traveled through hell to look for his beloved, Beatrice, he had killed countless demons to no avail, as in the end, he couldn't reach her before her death.

Only after he found Beatrice's lifeless body did the entity known as "Hades" decide to bless Dante with his relic. However, in Dante's eyes, it was a mere consolation prize, as he couldn't care less about a weapon.

The warlock believed that it was some sort of sick joke from the entity, who was mocking him by giving him a powerful weapon after failing to save his beloved.

Still, while Dante used his relic to kill Satan and tons of other demons, he hated how it was given to him.

"The reason I didn't use it with Astaroth was because I didn't need it… I would've ended up destroying more of the town if I had done that," Dante explained.

"I see… My bad, dude—I was just curious," Zac said to his friend with an apologetic tone.

"No problem. It's not like I was hiding it or anything… I just don't really think about it that much," the warlock commented.

With curiosity still plastered all over Zac's face, he asked Asphodel how she had gotten her Mythic Relic, and the vampire pridefully replied that she received it after eradicating her own clan and city.

Shortly after the destruction of the city of Lumen and the death of the vampire Father, Nicodemus, Asphodel received Kali's blessing, which allowed her to summon her relic.

'Huh, I can see why the two of them look at their weapons differently… To Asphodel, it was a prize for persevering, while for Dante, it was a prize for losing…' Zac thought.

After most of their inquiries had been answered, the meeting turned into more of a social gathering, and Dante noticed how Irina was talking to Megan with a much gentler tone instead of hurling insults at everyone.

The warlock could sense a hint of admiration coming from Irina's umbra when talking to Megan, and he thought it was pretty amusing as Megan seemed to be some sort of woman magnet.

Asphodel, Dante, and Camille sat on a table near the garden to watch the kids playing, and the Mother inquired about the cathedral they had found when fighting Astaroth.

Camille showed her the pictures they had taken of the destroyed church, making the vampire wince with disgust.

'Well, I expected that kind of reaction…' Camille thought.

The vampire Mother told the pair that they had found a similar place in the north of Novaria, and she considered destroying it too, but decided against it as she wanted to study the area.

"It's not a cathedral as big as this… It's a small chapel dedicated to Goddess Mystara," Asphodel commented.

She had found the chapel a little over twenty years in the past, but she had never seen anyone coming in or out of the building, so she deduced it had been abandoned. Nevertheless, she was secretly keeping an eye on it.
