Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298 - The Title of an Infernal Lord

In the vastness of the Novus Galaxy, at a particularly obscure location in the Letalis Expanse, there was a small asteroid floating in space. This asteroid was only a couple of miles in diameter, and would normally be orbiting around a star. Yet at this moment, it seemed to be stationed in space as it simply floated.

The cause of this was the only two beings situated upon this rock who were extremely focused on a board game in front of them. In this void of space, a being with a humanoid appearance, but having multiple horns erupting out of its head in the form of a crown was scrunching his face in annoyance.

The being sitting opposite him was clad in a dark robe and a uniquely shimmering pointed hat, this one actually being a human and holding a wizened old jovial expression as he was winning the game that was being played.

"Haha, you’ll have to relinquish two worlds after you lose this game!"

The voice of the aged human in a pointed hat boomed out in the vastness of space as he taunted the being in front of him, who looked up in annoyance as the crown formed from his own horns shimmered.

"Hmph, the loss of two worlds is nothing to worry about. Why don’t we-"

The crowned being came to a stop unexpectedly as he placed his hand on his chest briefly, before a wide smile erupted from his face as all the annoyance from the loss he just took went away. The old man in a pointed hat observed this as he spoke with a questioning tone.

"What exactly made you so happy, Voldred?"

The crowned being stood up as he patted his clothes with a smile, the board he was just playing on disappearing as he replied.

"It seems like fate is really due for a correction in the near future. I’ve received two signals in the past days of a possible qualifier taking the last remaining seat. It seems that the ally that will break this stalemate will join us sooner than expected!"

"What?!"

Rumbling erupted on the stationary asteroid as the old man in a conical hat stood up abruptly, his gaze becoming stern as his old body palpitated with power.

"The eight of you aren’t enough that an extra one has to be thrown into the midst?"

The old man spoke in a semi threatening voice as the one called Voldred laughed and shrugged off a reply.

"The one to take this seat will be the last. Why even act like that? You should be very clear by now about the reason for our existence."

"Hmph."

The game ended abruptly as the two beings stood up and looked at each other closely, Voldred speaking out again.
