Chapter 1065 Between A Rock And A Hard Place.
She wouldn't believe him even if she put aside his recent fights with Primogenitors. She chose the direction that she thought was safe. She chose a boundary of her territory that is completely sealed and hardened earth. There was no tunnel in that area so no one should be there.
Ghouls could be anywhere outside her territory. But they are most likely to be around other vampires. All of the Vampires were in the pathways that led to her territory. So it should be unlikely that Ghouls would be within the walls. She was right. There were no ghouls there. But she was nabbed as soon as she left her territory.
She left her territory a very far distance away from where Ragnarok was attacking. So he had to have shifted his position closer to hers. Clearly, their meeting wasn't by chance. If only she knew that there were no Ghouls around her territory and that the single Ghoul attached to her right now was brought to her territory from a very far location, then she would know how deeply orchestrated their current meeting is.
Even so, Ragnarok will deny any accusations that he planned to force her out and nab her. He will deny it no matter the evidence.
He pleaded with her. "Our meeting was by chance? It is by fate so why don't we enjoy it until the sun comes up?"
He is begging as if he isn't planning to kill her. Danah wanted to curse him for his shamelessness.
"Marlinto was wrong about you not having etiquette. You sure know how to behave like two-faced nobles."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRagnarok shrugged. "Marlinto was wrong about a lot of things."
"So we are just going to talk until you try to kill me?"
Ragnarok nodded. He is okay with just talking. He doesn't think she will oblige him but he is not willing to make the first move. Not after what happened in his previous fight with a Primogenitor. He can be leisurely about this fight since he is not the desperate one.
Danah sighed. "The demon god already expected that you will try to take advantage of the situation. But things were already too late when this ghoul showed up."
Ragnarok chuckled. "Trust me. I know that."
He knows how well the demon god has planned for him to take advantage of the Chaos. Danah is not the first Primogenitor that he has attacked since he released the ghouls. She is in fact the third one.
The first one escaped from him while he ran away from the second one for his dear life. But he has learned his lesson and perfected his plan. That's why the first thing he did was to lock her in a domain so that she wouldn't escape and why there is a ghoul attached to her right now.
"Seems I am going to die," Danah admitted.
He nodded in agreement. "I am certain of it. My plan should work this time. That Ghoul should do something in the presence of the demon god. I just need to wait for daytime to weaken you. Then I can kill you."
Danah looked at the ghoul in her hand and couldn't help but feel bitter in her cold dead heart.
She said to him, "I would rather die quickly than let you consume me."
"I wouldn't advise that," Ragnarok said to her as he stepped back. "Let's be reasonable here. It is better to die to me than to test fate."
He tried to persuade her against what she is about to do. He would very much like her to just accept her death. But she didn't listen to him. What she was afraid of has finally happened. But she isn't going to run away from her inevitable death. She will face her fears and hope that she will survive.
She wants to test fate. So she did the same thing as the second Primogenitor. It won't save her but it will give her a chance for survival. It is her best option now that she is between a rock and a hard place. So she let the demon god descend to her body.
One of her eyes is completely red with black concentric circles within it. The other two are white with red pupils and iris. They are her normal eyes. But both of her normal eyes became completely red with black concentric circles within them when she opened herself to her Supreme.
Her body was supposed to morph into the image of the demon god. She was supposed to enlarge into a red moon that possessed tentacles. She was supposed to be able to send him running for his life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was prepared to run for his life. Unfortunately for her, the demon god refused to descend. So those changes didn't occur.
Ragnarok asked carefully, "Did my plan work?"
Both of Danah's eyes returned to being white with red irises.
She stumbled at first. Then she said to him in frustration, "Fuck you."
He clapped merrily. "That's a good sign. You are not happy so my plan must have worked."
The first Primogenitor was very fast. He was too fast for him to get close to and engulf with his domain. So the first Primogenitor escaped. As for the second one, she made the demon god descend into her. Doing so comes with very heavy consequences. Her will was eroded in exchange for the demon god to descend.
Ancestral Vampires are like vessels to the demon god. But demon gods are chaotic and their sins are virulent. Any vessel that they descend into gets overwritten over time.
The longer the descent, the more their will and identity are eroded. It is a slow death. No Primogenitor would be willing to allow the demon god to descend through them in a normal situation. But this situation is far from normal.
Danah had no choice and the demon god had declared that Ragnarok has to be eliminated at all cost whatsoever.
