Will of chaos

I was in the Floating Ship's training room when Freya appeared saying that another Floating Ship was standing next to us and they are a Trade Ship.

I followed Freya out while the others stayed in the room, Diana wanted to come with me but I thought it best to see who these people were first.

I was still a little sweaty and in my training clothes, but I didn't care as I was led outside by Freya.

As soon as I arrived on the deck of the ship, I noticed that there was another ship less than half the size of ours standing next to us.

This Ship was completely made of metal with green paint, there was also a symbol of an open chest with a parchment and pen inside, it must be their symbol, I guessed.

"This is Mr. Leonsio and his daughter Isabela." (Freya)

"Nice to meet you, I'm Zenos, I'm the leader of this Ship." (I)

"Nice to meet you, I'm Leonsio, head of the company Negócios de Ouro." (Leonian)

"This lovely young woman is my daughter Isabela, greet the lord Zenos my daughter." (Leonian)

"Nice... nice to meet you..." (Isabela)

The man was a Beastman from the Rabbit Tribe, he wore glasses and a cloak that looked like it was made with high quality fabric.

The girl he presented as his daughter was also of the same race and had very similar features, really appearing to be father and daughter.

She seemed to be shy hiding behind her Leonsio, and also looked to be less than 6 years old by the looks of it, I couldn't help but close my eyes for a few seconds to control my emotions seeing these two.

"Are you all right?" (Freya)

"Yes, I'm just a little tired from training." (I)

"I apologize for showing up in this state, I was training when I was told we had visitors." (I)

"I must apologize, we suddenly appeared near you." (Leonian)

"(Master, we are in the midst of preparing for battle, we shouldn't have people here now.)" (Nix)

"(There are still a few hours left for everything to be ready, Klaus was going along with his daughter to investigate the city, so we have time.)" (I)

"I would like to know why Mr. Leonsio approached us?" (I)

"That's easy, your Ship is magnificent, but it doesn't bear the symbol of any Kingdom, Empire or Guild." (Leonian)

"As a merchant I felt my curiosity aroused, not to mention that it could be a new source of business." (Leonian)

"What kind of business do you do?" (I)

"I own a large Alchemy trading company, we sell all kinds of Alchemy potions and materials." (Leonian)

"You have a fine Floating Ship." (I)

"This Ship is excellent, it can be considered my second greatest pride after my daughter." (Leonian)

I try to keep a neutral face while talking to this "Trader", I look away from them for a few seconds while looking at their Ship, there were people there wearing armor, combat cloaks, and bows.

"These are Adventurers I hired to protect us during the journey." (Leonian)

"I thought I'd make a better impression coming alone." (Leonian)

"You know I like people who know how to demonstrate their sincerity, maybe we can make a deal." (I)

"Excellent Mr. Zenos, I like direct and assertive people like you." (Leonian)

"Come on let's go somewhere where we can talk privately just the 4 of us." (I) 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

"< Sacred Light Territory >" (I)

"< Lightning Piercing >" (I)

When the Businessman approaches with his shy daughter to go somewhere else, I make two moves at the same time, I create a Territory using my Authority along with my Affinity for the element of Light and my Holy Power.

I also used a thunder element skill attack with the short crystal sword I have on my tail, piercing the body of the little girl who tried to dodge it and would have succeeded if it wasn't for the Territory I created restricting her, meanwhile, I sinned the man named Leonsio by the neck as it floated.

"Did you think you could fool me?" (I)

"You bastard..." (Leonsio)

"Be quiet before I break your neck, I'm talking to your boss." (I)

"How did you find out?" (Isabela)

Little Isabela had a purple liquid with a horrible smell coming out of the wound, it didn't look like blood, I don't think this body should even have blood inside anymore.

"Disguising yourself as a child is useless with those eyes." (I)

"Looks like you have pretty sharp eyes." (Isabela)

From the moment I looked into its eyes I knew this thing wasn't a child, its eyes were empty and it didn't have any kind of emotion, but it's still very expressive with its body, expressive in excess.

Also, I hadn't smelled blood on her, as a Vampire I got used to smelling blood still inside people's bodies as long as I was close enough, but I didn't smell anything from this child.

But even without telling you all that, I refuse to believe that there is a father who would take his young daughter inside a strange, unmarked Floating Ship, with several types of races and an unknown Vampire.

All this without bringing their escorts, this made no sense from the start.

"Now tell me, how many innocents are inside that Ship Mister Shadow?" (I)

"The ship is empty, it was just a way to get closer." (Lord of Shadows)

The child's body darkens when his shadow begins to climb up his leg until it takes over his entire body.

"What do you want with me?" (I)

"I want you to stop interfering, it seems like you're always in the worst possible places." (Lord of Shadows)

"I have a unique luck, what can I do." (I)

"Ahhh!!!" (I)

"Did you really think I wouldn't notice? I'm immune to curses." (Lord of Shadows)

While we were talking to him my tail was still inside his body, I was trying to cast a curse on him, but I failed.

"Next time it won't just be a warning." (Lord of Shadows)

With that, the child's body turns to dust, and the man who pretended to be a merchant was dead, I felt some kind of curse activate before his neck broke, when I looked at the Ship the supposed Adventurers were on the ground with the crooked lesbian.

"He cleared the trail." (I)

I was furious when I saw a child's body being manipulated by that creature, but I needed more time to find out more, this bastard is exactly as Klaus described it.
