CHAPTER 14: EVE

A few moments ago, before Drago's clash with the platinum ape...

*ROOOOAAAARRRR*

Raising his head in the direction of the roar, "mm seems like Drago and Apollo should be getting some company, tho I doubt it'd take any effort from them to kill the beast.." White muttered to himself, "now what do I do with this..." he scratched his head in confusion as he looked at what looked like a building made from earth and plants.. though aesthetically exotic, it had its own charm, but the issue here is, who built such a structure, and are they friendly...

"Stay back, don't move around too much, you know the area isn't safe" he spoke back to the survivors behind, counting over 300 people being carried on the backs of what looked like earth golems over 10 meters tall and equally as wide...

Moving closer to the structure, he was stopped by an unfeeling and cold voice, "don't move one more step, or I'll attack"..

Noticing the feminine tone of the voice, he decided to not antagonize them, raising his hands to signify peace he said "I don't know who it is but I do hope you can come out let's talk"..

A few moments of silence later, the roof of the structure opened, and a branch sprouted out before blooming open to reveal a stunningly beautiful woman, she was covered? in what looked like green leaves, tho covering only her bountiful chest and lower regions, showing an awful lot of skin.. her exquisite face giving off a mature charm and allure, her green hair flowing down like a waterfall, covering the entirety of her back and reaching her butt, her cold eyes also a green color like her hair complementing her beauty even further..

Overall she was a beauty even dumb beast would appreciate, and Our brother White is no dumb beast but an active male...

"You're staring" she said in a cold voice..

*cough cough*.. coughing to hide his embarrassment, " I apologize for my behavior, my name is White" stretching forth his hands, he introduced himself.. staring at him with a strange expression, the lady asked "White?".. "I can understand why you'd look at me that way, considering my name and my looks, trust me I'm not all too clear about it either" he said with a bitter smile..

"I do not trust you" she uttered coldly...

"fine, it's to be expected.. but you do know that it isn't safe around here right? I've been gathering survivors around the area and this is the only area remaining before I rejoin my brothers, so I was wondering if you'd want to come with us"

Looking at the 300 or so survivors behind him, being carried by golems, she asked with raised brows "You're an earth mage?"

"I'm an elemental, not a mage", he said with visible annoyance in his voice

"oh forgive me, I meant no offense" the lady apologized, tho cold, the sincerety could be heard in her voice...

"Small matter, so what do you say" he waved of the matter before asking,

But before she could reply,

*BOOM* *CLANG* *BOOM* *CLANG*

thunderous sounds of metals colliding and explosions sounded from far off in the sky, followed by a shockwave that was spreading for kilometers on end and looked like it was about to arrive at their location, seeing this, White raised his staff {WIND WALL}..

following his command, a gigantic sphere of wind, surrounded the entire area, it only dispersed after the shockwaves passed.. "this feeling" White frowned "Why's Drago playing around with that ant".. he muttered to himself, tho this did not go unnoticed by the person he was talking to..

Hearing what white said, the lady's expression broke for a brief moment, before returning to it's indifference, tho from her eyes it could be seen that any thought of refusal was swept away.. 'if that's considered playing, then I don't want to meet something they'd take serious' she muttered to herself..

Turning towards the woman White asked again, "so what do you say".. "I'll go with you, but you'll have to bring along the people I helped earlier" she replied pointing towards the hundred or so people she rescued..

"Not a problem, that was my intention from the beginning" He nodded whilst waving his staff {Earth golems} and more golems were created to accommodate the new members of the party..

"I'm Eve by the way" the woman, Eve, introduced herself.. "Nice to meet you Eve" White replied with a radiant smile...

"So what do we have here"

Hearing the voice behind them, Drago and Apollo shifted their gazes from the three sisters who had undergone some startling transformation..

"mm, White? why are you late?, we were supposed to meet up an hour ago, to go search other areas" Drago interrogated with visible annoyance..

"Hey chill, there were more people that needed help than I expected, not every race is a fighting race and you know that" White answered..

Looking at the 400+ people behind White, Drago's face twisted into a scowl, sweeping them with his disgusted gaze, "useless, useless, useless, useless"...

"damn, White, you saved a bunch of useless burdens, you should've done a purge like we did, at least that way you'd have less burdens and more useful people" Drago growled..

"What do you mean by purge Drago?" White asked whilst frowning deeply, to which Drago ignored entirely, returning his gaze back to the three sisters. Seeing as his questions were left unanswered he turned towards Apollo who shrugged whilst pointing towards the cowering survivors..

"Why do they look like they've seen something horrifying?" White asked, "Look around you, you'd be scared shitless if you weren't you too" Apollo rolled his eyes...

Looking around, White nodded his head, then he asked again "why are there so little people, were the rest dead before you got here?".. "No, I had Apollo kill off all the burdens before anything else" Drago replied still focusing on the three sisters that were squirming a little, beginning to get uncomfortable from his impassive gaze that gave nothing of what he was thinking...

"YOU WHATTTT!???" White snapped.

Turning his head around calmly, Drago replied, his expression still indifferent, "I had Apollo kill off all the burdens before helping the more useful ones with stronger bloodlines"..

"WHY!? I TOLD YOU TO SAVE THEM NOT KILL THEM!!! NOT EVERYONE IS A FREAK OF NATURE LIKE US" White shouted in unbridled anger, he couldn't understand why Drago would waste resources like this, yes, he was considered them to be resources, not living beings...

"Disgusting!" Eve, who had been silent all this while, spat through gritted teeth, this simple statement snapping White out of his angry state since he could feel a foreboding coming, and sure enough..

{{ARCH-DRAGON'S MIGHT}}

*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*

*BOOOM*

Following the rumbling in the sky, Eve shot down from the sky like a comet, lying down pitifully in a deep crater, her bones mangled, blood pouring out from all her pores, she looked to be on the verge of death, her cold and indifferent eyes showing deep horror and fear that stemmed from the very depths of her being...

"And who is this worm to speak with such a tone in my midst", his apathetic and indifferent voice sounded in the sky like the voice of an emperor, looking down coldly on his insubordinate subordinate..

*SWOOSH*

Standing between Drago and the dying eve, White intervened "Drago stop"..

"You dare order me around?" Drago asked still with indifference in his voice, like if his brother gave him an unsatisfactory answer he'd kill him immediately...

Feeling sad at how much indifference his own brother was speaking to him with, despite understanding that when this switch clicks, he becomes someone else entirely, White continued "I dare not order you around, you're my brother, I wouldn't dare order around family, I'm pleading for her, she didn't know how to speak so spare her for my sake", his bones creaking from the pressure, White was horrified inwardly when he thought about the fact that his brother was already holding back alot and it was still this difficult to endure, the very thought of when he releases his aura completely scared him to no end.. saying a silent prayer for who would push him till that point, he looked up to Drago with pleading eyes...

As the tension in air got more taught, like Drago was about to snap and end the daring eve,

"Humph.. bad man"..

A cold indifferent voice, brimming with charm and allure sounded out.

And like a dream or an illusion, the aura Drago was releasing vanished entirely, as the attention of the three brothers turned towards the source of the voice....
