The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 161: A new member

The dust of the cup quickly formed into a human-shaped structure. The fragment which was so close to Viktor's grasp went inside the cloud of dust.

It was taking Mors' form after almost 2 years.

Since Mors' mother was a beautiful goddess, he was also on pair with her. After his body took its real form, a dark cross mark formed on his chest. It was the symbol of death that he inherited from his mother but he kept it secret with magic. But there was no reason for him to hide it anymore since he wasn't with Elesis.

He looked like a middle-aged man with a fine muscular body. His pale skin and purple eyes was making him look like a character out of some anime.

He was the demi-god of death, Mors Grimrose.

After his body took its full form, his weight nearly collapsed the whole building. So Viktor had to drag him out of there by collars.

He was dumbfounded.

Mors then said, "It was my first time being carried by someone like that. Nobody can actually lift my weight. Even my mother was sick of it. I guess you're not some weakling punk."

Viktor laughed a little and said, "Is this how you say thanks to your saviour?" Viktor let go of his shirt and took a seat on a boulder near the mountains. He again said, "Sorry for the late introduction. I'm Viktor E. North, also known as Elerous Siris."

Mors flinched a bit and then looked at his face after cleaning the dust from his trouser.

"You don't look like Elesis. There are some similarities but your eyes are surely different from his. Also your fragment."

He then looked above Viktor's head and saw an unclear number. It wasn't fixed whether he was going to die or not. Moreover, he wasn't even 1000 years old so that left him very confused.

So he asked, "Are you sure you're Elerous? You're not even 1000 years old. The Elerous I know should be more than a million years old."

"Oh, that's because I died and reincarnated with all my fragments. Well, we can talk about that later. I know who you are so you don't need to be on your guard now. I won't kill you."

Mors then said, "How are you so sure about that?"

"If I were to kill you, I'd devour your fragment when I saw it taking your form. Oh, I forgot, that's not a fragment. That's the core of a god, isn't it?"

"How much do you know?"

"Hmm, almost everything about you? I know you're not from the guardian realm and you're a born demigod. Not a guardian. And your mother has locked your power so that you can't go overboard. You're just like other weakling guardians now."

"Are you insulting me?"

"No, I'm just throwing the facts. Let's make a deal then. I will lift your seal. In exchange, help me kill my brother so we can leave this mortal world and control the upper realm."

Mors was astonished to hear that a godly seal can be lifted by a guardian. He had spent more than millions of years searching for a way to lift his seal. But no matter how much he searched for it, he couldn't find a clue. Moreover, Elesis wasn't a reliable person to ask. So he kept his mouth sealed and acted like a guardian in front of everyone.

So he asked, "How do you know that I have a seal on my core?"

"I read your mother's records when you were born. You were so heavy that she nearly broke her arm while carrying you-_-."

"-_-. I see. Of course, you know. You're the guardian of living records."

"Wrong, I was born a demigod just like you. Anyway, I'll help you lift your seal. So? What are your thoughts?"

He then shook his head in frustration and said, "Can't help it. Since we need each other, how about giving it our best? I'll show you my real powers once my seal is lifted."

Both of them laughed and Viktor said, "It's great to find a friend with the same taste as mine. Call me Viktor."

"Well then, call me Mors, buddy."

….

At the same time in Alex's house.

Adonis finished knocking out everyone in the house with his advanced magic and started to walk towards Alex's room. The house was in a blackout because of the sudden attack of Adonis.

But since all the assassins were knocked out, there was no use for the blackout. Moreover, Adonis can see clearly even if there's no source of light. So he walked straight into the secret room where Alex was hiding.

It was so dark that even the ghosts would lose their way in or out.

Adonis then reached the secret room and knocked on the door. "Mr Alex, let's have a friendly chat."

But Alex didn't reply at all. He was hiding in another unbreakable vault to protect himself. He knew he messed with the wrong opponent so he decided to hide until the backup arrived.

Adonis didn't receive a good answer so he just sliced the thick tungsten door like butter. He then kicked the door and entered the room.

The room was filled with rows of gold bars. It was his secret treasury that only he had access to. So Adonis said, "If you don't mind, I will take all of them as payment to annoy our visit."

He opened his dimension door and ordered two clones to pick up everything from the room. Even the ancient gold God figures from Africa.

After one hour of hard work, the whole room became completely empty and only the huge vault was renamed. Alex was hiding inside, thinking that nobody could break it open. But sadly, his confidence shattered when he saw Adonis tearing apart the door like clay with his bare hands.

"Mr Alex, why aren't you answering my calls? I want to have a friendly chat with you."

"Eeek!! Don't touch me!! Go away!!! Don't you dare to harm me!!! Eekk!!!!"

"You're so dramatic, Mr Alex. My master will be very disappointed if he hears that you didn't cooperate." Adonis looked into his eyes with his bright orange eyes and again said, "Don't worry. It won't hurt at all. Just go to sleep so I can take care of everything."

….

Back in the guest room.

Mors and Viktor came inside the room through the window. The rain was still falling and there was a sudden blackout. So Mors thought all the mortals don't have access to light at night.

So he asked, "Does this world don't have any lightbulbs? Can't you at least use light magic to brighten the room?"

The moment his feet touched the floor, he felt the aura of death. The room was filled with mortal blood so he again asked, "Are you a cannibal?"

"What? No, they were trying to kill me so I just killed them. Don't mind the blood."

"Is this your house?" Mors asked.

"No, my house isn't far away from this place. It's actually in another country. We will leave this place tomorrow since the work is done."

"Looks like you're very busy."

"No, I'm very free. It's just my mind that works as humans so it looks like I'm hella busy with work." At that moment, all the lights in the house turned on and Adonis rushed in. He then said, "Master!! You're back. Eh?"

"Oh, You're already finished. Take a seat over here with us. Adonis, this is the demigod of death, Mors Grimrose. Mors, this is also the demigod of destruction, Adonis North. He's my knight, brother and also my companion."

Mors was astonished to see his beauty. Also when he saw that he didn't have a death mark above his head just like Viktor, he said, "No wonder why you're not going to die. You're just too beautiful to get rid of."

Adonis pouted his lips and said, "Why are you playing cards with my master on his bed with dirty feet?"

"Oh? Oh… I apologise. My buddy here just taught me this mortal world game. It's very fun to play. Do you want to join?"

Adonis then said, "Unlike another freeloader like you, I am a busy person who works like a machine to feed all of your stomachs. I don't have time to play cards with you by throwing away my lab work."

Viktor happily said, "Wow! You guys get along very well."

Mors then said, "No, our Adonis buddy is right. I know how it feels to take care of shut-ins who sleep and play games week after week. I've endured that hell for so long that I want to kill myself."

Viktor then saw Adonis covering his face with both of his hands. He started to tremble so Viktor asked, "Adonis? Are you okay?"

He then raised his head and said, "Mors Grimrose, isn't it?"

"Yes?"

"Do you like a whole glass of wine after an all-nighter?"

After hearing his question, all the cards from his hands fell on the bed. He stared at Adonis's face while Viktor started to loot his cards since the time was ripe. He then said, "You're…you're also the master of the house…at last. I found someone who is enduring the same. Give me a handshake, my brother from another mother!!"

Adonis came closer to him and held his hands in full force. Their handshake force was so rough that all the cards that Viktor matched flew away from his hand.

'-_-. Why did I even bother to cheat-_-.'

Viktor looked at them and saw them lost in their gossip. He was left alone with his lost cards and one of his earrings missing from his right ear.
