Chapter 138: Staff of greed

"Hey, glad to see you're doing well Jake, I've heard so many good compliments about you from the others"

Jake was with some of the few followers he had, apparently he heard them badmouthed me and couldn't stand it, so he went to do a little convincing, stirring up some rumors.

-I guess, he really wasn't a former commander for nothing, huh? Just how strong is Richard the grand commander then?-

-I can give you somewhat of an accurate evaluation if you want- Dabria replied -They are my followers after all-

His armor is now black, and decorated with symbols for butterflies. He looks old, but you can tell from his presence alone, a regular blue cored mage might not be a match.

"Who is that beside you?" he asked

"Ah this is Stella West, the number 1 of the executives, I have to pair up with her since I'm kinda new"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Jake Walker" he bowed and introduced himself

"Likewise" Stella replied "So do you plan on meet the misfits of our organization now?"

"Yep, that's exactly what I plan to do. Jake, my first order to you and the others, is to prepare this dingy room of ours into a somewhat more comfortable place for the ones I'm about to bring back, I can't bring you along since with my sword's ability, you'll also fall asleep in the process"

"As you wish" he replied

-Let's divide up these guys, we'll take one each, if it's too dangerous, we'll go to each other for back up, we'll go for the easy ones first, words are definitely not gonna convince these guys, so beat them up good, but don't kill them-

"How was him with his first task?" Zach asked

"Scarily good, Dream world, the ability of that sword of his is dangerous" Stella replied

"Nothing in this world is flawless, as strong as it is, it definitely has a weakness"

"It does, if the opponent is too strong, he would need to kill them in that dream world several times to weaken them, but he doesn't kill them, he weakens them up to the point where they are helpless against him. Damon is also a talented dragon, most of the most troublesome ones wouldn't stand a chance against him in a 1 on 1 fight. Diana, the phoenix, her flames surpasses Oz's when he was at her level"

"I see, they really are good, what about the wolf and the cat?"

"Ace and Siege, Ace the cat is the second best at using spatial magic amongst the group, most of his opponents didn't even stand a chance before parts of their body got erased from existence, he would then heal them afterwards with fire magic. The wolf is very ferocious, like Perseus, he is able to completely hide his presence in a fight or completely overwhelms them with it, even you aren't able to completely hide your aura"

"Well then, he still have the black core misfits left them according to the reports"

"Father, I'm curious about one thing, I've noticed that you and him have no magic core despite being able to use magic, why unlike the rest of us, you have magic running wild around your body?"

"Please don't worry about it, if anything it makes us stronger than average since the moment we were born, apart from us 2, there should be only one more person in this world that have the same condition. Since everything is proceeding smoothly, I'll tell you the mission that I'm about to give him, I want you to find my staff, the staff of greed, Mammon's desires"

-Now we're moving on to the dangerous ones, after this is our trip to my accursed grandparents and after that is a mission that we have to do-

"There you are" I greeted Stella who just arrived

"Well it seems like you still have some energy despite fighting all day" she commented

"Yeah well, I better get it done quick, otherwise I'll fall asleep, and if I rest and do it some other day, it's give them time to prepare themselves, so I better catch them by surprise"

We then walked through the seekers headquarters and head down through this cave and arrive at a cavern. There was the 3 corrupted we were looking for. One was a blue dragon in his dragon form, no bigger than Damon, black core, blue scales, and blue eyes, a lightning dragon named Perun.

There was also a girl in that cave, 160 cm tall, tanned, dark green eyes, pitch black hair, an oread, a type of nymph that usually lives in the mountains, unlike Cordelia, a nereid, a nymph of the sea. Her name is Terra, a black core and she held a staff in her hands.

The last one is a wind spirit, his skin is pale white, his hair is light blue and he has light blue eyes, his name is Bora Tempest. Also a black core, in a fight, the darker his skin color and hair becomes, the stronger he gets.

The 3 are all extremely loyal, but hard to control, they would perform their tasks perfectly if they were ordered to.

"I'll just watch, they might be weak compared to me, but even using my number 1 spot to threaten them, they rather be independent" Stella commented

"Well just because your daddy is the boss and you're strong, it doesn't give us enough reasons to serve under you" Bora retorted before turning to me "Just leave, we heard what you did, that's why us 3 gathered here, you might have a chance to take one of us down, but without that girly's help over there, you won't be able to take us 3 at the same time, even with the help of your bonds"

"Can't you be any less obvious with your intent, tch" Terra rolled her eyes "Look, executives, we given you our loyalty, we just rather be independent if you don't mind"

"Yeah, I'd rather join in under the other 12 than join in under the newcomer who's still in the purple core" Perun sneered "I don't know what they saw in you, I guess anyone can become one of the executives these days"

"I like these guys already, ah Stella, you might want to back away, seems like these guys might need a bit of teaching"

"Well good luck, that is 3 black core you're dealing with" she then put a bit of distance and spectate us from afar.

"Looks like he wants to fight, great" Bora chuckled

"Well you're right you know, we probably won't win if we fight as we regularly do, so we'll go a bit all out for this one"

-I'm looking forward to this- Ace smiled

I then took out Dream eater and used a skill that I saved up

"Void of eternal nightmare"
