Chapter 296 chain quest issued

?"God Apollo, what happened to me? Why did my rank suddenly drop?" Leon asked staring at the golden light in front of him in his dream-like state.

"I did everything as you asked, trained hard as you said, then why did it happen? You said all my veins and previous injuries were healed, so it can't be because of that, right? Then answer me, please."

Hearing his pleading tone, a sigh reverberated in his mind space. And just like a stone falling into the calm river, it created ripples in Leon's mind. But it didn't trouble him, seeing this action calmed him.

It meant that his God hadn't given up on him, and left him all by himself.

"Please God Apollo, answer me." He asked again, this time in a much calmer voice.

[Someone probably used your blood to awaken a treasure, or activate a soul binding.]

"What????" Leon shouted in an unbelievable tone. "That's impossible. You can't use someone's blood for binding like that without their consent?"

[You're right. It's not possible. But that's the only explanation I can find.]

"What_ who did it? When? Why?" Leon felt anger as never before, feeling extreme disbelief over this explanation. He tried to sense his body for any changes or connections, but something which even Apollo couldn't track due to system's barrier, what could a puny protagonist of his beginning stage can do - nothing.

"Can I atleast get my rank back." He asked the different question. Seeing the result for his two years of hard work going to waste like this was breaking his heart, as he felt enormous hatred rising for whoever was responsible.

[Whoever it is, they're probably shielded with some other god's support or used some secret methods, which I can't trace for now. As for your rank and foundation, they'll be healed over time with my blessing.]

"But _"

[Train harder Leon. Or this is what your future will always be. Always being the plaything of the powerful ones. Tugging along the stribgs they pull, just like a puppet. So train hard and surpass them. That's the only thing that matters. ]

Apollo left the final motivation and went silent. Leon just stared at the disappearing golden light and clenched his fists. 'Whoever you are, I will surpass you. And I will make you pay for everything.'

Apollo stared at Leon's determined expression, as he started channeling his mana and blessings, trying to heal himself, and nodded his head.

There was one thing he didn't say to Leon, that there is another way besides any God's interference, where anyone, even normal unawakened mortals, can be responsible for what happened to him.

The uncontracted binding is also possible in case that treasure or soul had already chosen him as the master beforehand, and the blood mark was just the final formality left to awaken it.

But Apollo didn't want to say it to Leon.

Because this meant someone used his blood to snatch his treasure, that he didn't even know about.

And he was right. That's what Rio did.

As being the protagonist's gold finger, the grandpa ring had a condition for awakening so no one else besides the protagonist can use it. That was, that only someone surpassing the luck of Francius could awaken him.

Over the years when Francius was sealed and sleeping inside the ring, many people found the ring and did all kinds of tests to see what was special about this ring, but none successed.

After all, the only such lucky person can be people chosen and groomed by destiny, that is protagonist.

'Who was it?' Apollo said in his heart as he spread his divine sense over thousands of miles around Leon's current position. Yet found no trace of any abnormality.

He could feel Leon's luck was decreasing at a steady pace for a while now, yet even after trying several methods he couldn't find anything.

'Did anyone know about him being my avatar?' Apollo couldn't help but doubt cause there was no other reason why anyone would try so hard to mess with Leon anymore.

"Looks like I need to rethink some things." Apollo said and glanced in the direction of a goddess far away.

"She hasn't chosen an avatar yet. Otherwise her skills could help me see the visions of the future." He said and started thinking about ways to tempt her. Due to their history he didn't want to go to her himself and ask for help. He was also sure she wouldn't help him.

"Even though the curse dampened her powers, the faith she harnesses from those mortals is still higher than mine. Cassandra, just what're you waiting for?" Apollo thought with a sigh, not at all aware that killing Cassandra's fated avatar was the first thing our mc did after waking up here.

Unaware of the problems caused to this duo of chosen characters, Rio's entire focus was on the projection of the auction house where the fight was getting even more serious every moment. Google seaʀᴄh ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

Looking at the hooded figures rising from the midst of the audience and killing everyone in their path, slaughtering every guest and guards alike without any hesitation - Rio flinched his eyes.

Rebecca and Saisha were surrounded from every side, so were Alfred and Vanessa. Their mana was almost getting depleted but there was no sign of help from anyone.

People from the Nishkal family and world association were fighting against Evil's Scion. While the priests from Dike's church were no help as someone poisoned them all beforehand.

No doubt, it was Dreyfus Finch, the spy from Evil's Scion that Rio saw and wanted to recruit earlier.

Edward, who was near Dreyfus, was also poisoned and on the verge of death.

He never thought Evil's Scion would make a move so soon, as in the their first introduction was after the event when Dreyfus massacred a whole town for a blood sacrifice months later.

Rio watched his whole plan getting crumbled in pieces just like what happened two years ago and he couldn't help but hate himself for it.

The only difference between now and then, was that two years ago it was due to followers of Apollo and now it was the followers of Ditail.

[I told you host, plans change. You can't predict and control everything.]

[That is just a basework host. When it says any force has 100 people and xxx is their leader. It only shows the focus of that leader, but in reality, now, any one of those 100 people could also mess up everything. And you would never see it coming.]

[You should've stopped this attack earlier. And now it's too late.]

''This attack wasn't just a whim system. You know damn well why I did it." Rio said after hearing the lecture, he was already angry and annoyed, and system's words weren't helping.

[...]

"If I can't put the name of Eclipse on the map of floating islands, then when those groups of villains finally gather for their Injustice League type of meeting, I won't be there.

And if I'm not there to stop these bastards, then half of all important characters in academy routes will be killed off. Maybe even more."

[There's time for that event host. We could've figured out another way. Infiltrate some organization, buy someone, kill someone and take their place - there are dozens of methods, but you just chose the easiest one.]

"..."

'Fuck you, Evil's scion. And fuck your Ditail.' Rio bashed his hand on the table, breaking it in two.

Seeing the frustration of its host, the system sighed and decided to help.

[Chain Quest issued]

[Title - Solve your shit and clean your mess.]

[Description - (1) Save the named characters your actions put in danger. (0/13)]

[ - (2) Kill the members of Evil's Scion. The followers of Ditail.]

[ - (3) As a villain, how can a little setback stop you from reaching your goal. Finish what you wanted to do.]

[Quest reward - Depending on your performance.]

'What the fuck is this now?' Rio asked, confused after looking at the sudden quest.

[A little motivation to get you hooked.] System said and smiled [Come on, I know you already wanted to jump in. Now I even gave you a little incentive.]

[Go there already.] System said seriously , and Rio smiled in return. 'Fine, but just cause you said so.'

[Yupp, definitely not for her.] Hearing his haughty answer, system joked again and got cursed in response.

'This bitch is just itching for a beating.' Rio thought about his evil playful system and contacted Riley. "Riley, we left someone alive there, right?"

"Of course that's how I'm getting you the feed." Riley's voice came from the other side as she changed the image in front of him, and showed three people who were just acting unconscious in the pile of dead bodies. "What's your plan, boss?" she asked, already aware of the things happening there. .

"Nothing. Just get ready to collect some hd footage. We're shooting a promotional video for ourselves." As his words finished he cut the call and his form started changing into that of Shiva.

"The world will know the name of Eclipse today. And I'll write it with their blood."
