Grand Dad Is The Pervert God-Chapter 128 Dark Serpents Of The Shadow God
"Ladies and gentlemen, our next item was contributed by a noble gentleman sitting right in our midst. This item is an old artefact. The baron that contributed this said that it happens to be an old heirloom. Unfortunately, he does not see much use in it's existence, and has decided to sell it off. I'm I right!?" The Auction master turned to Baron Bolos.
Baron Bolos gave a light nod.
The Auction master nodded back in response and continued.
"They are many rumours surrounding this item, and it is even rumoured that the royal family once hunted for it. Although that was hundreds of years ago. However, it shows how valuable to this particular item is. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the Emperor's Tablet."
"HUH!!!" Many gasped as the crowd murmured lightly.
The people in this room by the grace of their heritage had been blessed with the fortunate privilege of having sound education.
Or at least as sound as could be.
One of the fundamentals of noble education was the study of history.
And this was not the diluted mess that went around as rumours or songs sang by bards.
The golden empire was a great one.
It was an empire that was encompassed by many kingdoms.
Some of them were conquered,while some others willingly submitted themselves to it's reign.
Of course, this was because of the power it's then royal family willed.
The source of that Great power was the Anchor Stones.
It is said that all 12 anchor stones sat on the Emperor's crown at all times.
It is also said that only the emperor could use it.
However, there also existed another method of usage.
It is said that it was used as a check to guide and control the power that the emperor's crown controlled.
This method of usage was said to be made up of the blood and flesh of the previous emperors.
For by only royal blood of the anointed to lead could control be found.
The item that could do this, was called the Emperor's Tablet.
During the time that the Emperor was entering its days of chaos, this particular item was said to have been stolen.
The Thief was Boar the pig. The same pirate by whose journal, Victoria was lead to the treasure of Alaska the threatened.
However, it was later dis overed that Boar was framed for this, and that it was a member of the royal family dissatisfied with the reins of power that did it.
The royal family member was apprehended, but by then, it was too late.
The Emperor's Tablet had gone missing.
Such was the loss of a great treasure.
In the time after the Golden Empire, many kingdoms broke out, once more gaining their independence from the empire's rule.
Treasures that belonged to the golden empire were sort out at every corner by different nations in secret.
While in the open, they destroyed knowledge of it's existence.
However, was there ever a noble family that did not have it's ways with preserving knowledge?
No, there wasn't. If they didn't, then they would have gone extinct by now.
Even nobles knew the importance of history.
Therefore, even though it was not spoken about in public, it did not mean that they had no knowledge of it.
All they did was hide their ever gossiping voices about it.
However, a supposedly great treasure that had been hidden for many years had been brought to light.
The Table was set on a tray and wheeled out for all to see.
This tablet looked as Ancient as they said it did.
It appeared to be ceramic at first glance. However, it was made up of royal bones.
It was rectangular in shape. It was not too long but not too short either.
It was just the right size if one wanted to carry it and escape.
On its body were ancient mystical runes on every corner.
And on its surface were indent marks. These were obviously indent marks for holding something. Most like the Anchor stones.
The Tablet itself looked to be a dead rock, but one had to admit that when eyes were laid on it, it looked as if the Tablet was making subtle calls to the soul.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Emperor's Tablet." The Auction master introduced.
The moment the Tablet appeared, Dan heard a message in his head directly from Eros, "make sure to get that tablet no matter the cost!"
Dan now had his eyes on the Tablet, but he was not the only one. They were others like Young Master Jan that had come here specifically because of this tablet.
This was going to be another battle of wealth and competence.
Dan knew his grandfather to a certain extent.
If Eros was telling him to get the Tablet with the urgency in his voice as it was, then it meant two things.
Firstly, the Tablet was very important.
Secondly, Eros was too busy to do it himself.
In Dan's experience, there were only two things that could truly occupy his grandfather'd time.
It was either he was engaging in sexual intercourse or he was engaging in a fight.
Dan knew that Eros women, Shade and Amanda were currently busy with their people.
Lady Frostbite was also by his side.
It could only mean one thing. Eros was tightly engaged in battle.
And he was right.
At the moment, Eros stood before old but unfamiliar foes.
.........
Eros had felt something was wrong and immediately left the Auction room.
As he did, he decided to dawn on an old persona.
This of course was to preserve his image and avoid trouble. After all, he was still a noble of the Almace Kingdom and was a subject under Viscount Peter.
Also, Eros prefered to protect those that were around him as best as he possible could.
Just like he and Dan had dressed the last time that Lady Frostbite was in trouble, he wire all black to face the fore.
Eros had come out at exactly the right time.
The moment he came out, the first thing he noticed was that the Viscount's guards about the manor had been knocked out or killed.
Through the earth and the shadows, he could tell that the Manor had already been surrounded.
However, this people although professional in their tactics had yet to move.
It was as if they were waiting patiently for something.
Eros did not know what it was, but he knew it was a better option to take them out now that they did not know of his presence.
Blending in the shadows was easy as pie for him.
As a god that never engaged in offensive encounters and really did not have an offensive style of his own, it was easy for him to learn and absorb from his brothers and sisters.
Eros would not consider himself to be a fast learner. Also, it was the offensive skill of another god's domain.
However, he had eons of time to learn, a d he did it well.
He blended into the shadows like he was the night himself.
There were many, but Eros was confident in his ability to drastically reduce their numbers and so he set out to work.
Merged in the shadow, he sighted a group of the invaders. They were four of them about the tree and six on the three itself. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝘮
All of whom had masks on their faces to hide their identities.
Eros placed a hand on the ground. Slowly, he muttered.
*Dark Serpents Of the Shadow god!*
*HISSSSSS!!!!*
There was a low chirus if hisses like that of a snake as the shadows morphed into black snakes that merged with the night.
Their goal were the men in and about the trees.
Eros made sure the snakes all attacked at the same time.
It was a slight and effective attack.
Since they did not see the Snakes moving through the shadows, their stealth was just right and undiscovered too.
The Shadow snakes were not made of matter and the Intruders did not feel it as it snaked about their bodies.
By the time they noticed, it was just too late.
*HISS!*
The snakes bite into their snakes while covering their mouths from shouting.
The eyes of the intruders slowly became black to the corruption of the dark venom of the Shadow snakes.
They fell to their deaths on the spot.
Once Eros was done with them, he moved over to the next set, and did the same thing.
Eros attacked smartly.
He noticed the power levels of a particular group and avoided them as best he could.
However, for those that he could hurt, he did it effectively.
It was best to end them now than have their problems during a fight.
It was at this exact moment that the Tablet was brought forth on stage.
The moment it made it's appearance under light, Eros felt the fluctuations of it's energy.
"Primordial energy!?"
