Chapter 60: The Holiest One! 2
Draco wasn't Reckless, not in the slightest!
He never approached something he knew had too many downsides compared to its upsides, and out of the many MANY Traits he devoured, Recklessness wasn't one of them, and that was because he already had the Harmony Trait first.
On this day, Probably the 8th after his transmigration, Draco killed the most he had ever, directly or indirectly, and the traits he had gained were so many he didn't even look at them anymore, but he would definitely ask her to put them in categories or something to make it easier for him.
The traits were filtered, the Traits he had already canceled out their opposing traits, and when two opposite Traits meet each other during Devouring they cancel each other out once again, and thus he progressively gains fewer and fewer personality traits, As for the Racial traits? there are many more to be gained.
one thing was for sure, he wasn't reckless and that was exactly what allowed him to live for so long, he didn't know it yet, but 8 days was an achievement for someone who rose in power as fast as him.
In any case, Draco made sure not to touch the Instructors, the king's children, or the 4th years.
but he would never say any food was an easy way to infiltrate the Imperial Lineage without being caught or in danger, and Marco was the perfect target, the poor prodigy had his pre-planned future forcefully cut off and changed off tracks because of one Transmigrator wanting to have fun.
And so, a question arises, what was Draco planning to do with the puppets who survived or will survive? Like Max, The Boss, and most definitely Marco??
this wasn't a question, All of them would die, and then be summoned back, but what would happen to them later on? Draco liked Max, he would let him act as a one-man army later on, The Boss, would form another Do or Die Faction, this time led by him to commit all kinds of atrocities, but Marco?
Marco had a future Draco didn't want to mess with too much, so his relationship with the daughter of the Anomaly wouldn't be interfered with, his graduation and anything he was planning on doing, Draco wasn't planning on changing.
Marco would possibly be the only summoned being or even clone of Draco to not be ruled upon, he would act independently, but all of this would come after what will happen soon.
We've all seen cases where the Bishop is actually corrupted and he uses the entire church to benefit only himself, and we've also seen cases where such important individuals act as if they're corrupted but they're in fact doing their best for humanity.
Marco was the perfect balance, he was known by all as the kindest one, as the promised one, the fated one, the prophesied one, he was known by everyone as someone who will only move and do something if it would benefit everyone and if there's no other answer other than that, he was known as The Holiest One.
Everybody trusted him, everybody followed his words without a second thought, and... Everybody was bewitched by him.
Fortunately, he was never the type to harm others just because, but is he now?
What would happen if he pointed at someone and said that he should die? What would happen if he looked at someone and told them he hated their guts? What would happen if he even got close to a girl other than his lover?
Draco wanted to know, and so he did, Marco and his team were marching towards another C-Rank Tribe when he put his hand on his chin.
His Lover who was close to him looked at him worried and said: 'What happened? You're acting weird today."
"Do you know that team of 13? with the blind captain." he looked at her and said.
"Yeah, what about them? Did they do something to you? Should I kill them?"
"Haha, no need for that, I was just thinking about something I've heard multiple times, I was told that he committed many atrocities and I've been wondering how I could speak him out of it."
"Marco, I've told you many times that this type has to die, there's no way someone who committed as many atrocities would ever hear you out!" she said slightly angry.
"It's fine, my love, I cannot bring myself to kill someone when he could still change his ways." He looked at her warmly and said.
"Hmph." She blushed and turned away, but, her mind had other plans.
Looking at a place far away, she made a sign with her eyes and some leaves rustled in a tree before everything went silent.
'If you do not want to dirty your hands then let me do it in your place.' she thought.
After a successful raid where they had just finished killing the Tribe Leader Marco was cleaning his hands while looking slightly annoyed, most people wouldn't notice, but his teammates and crazy fans will notice the slightest rustle of his hair.
One of the guys from his crew came closer to him and asked.
"Marco, I'm sorry but I already killed that guy." He said.
"... You shouldn't have, Pedro, you really shouldn't have, he had done nothing wrong." Marco looked at him slightly before he shook his head and sighed.
" I apologize one more time but I cannot stand someone acting haughty in front of you and trying to sully your image." Pedro said.
All the poor guy did was "Try" to make fun of Marco, Marco being the kind guy he is didn't say anything and even stopped his teammates from trying, unfortunately, he was surrounded by a bunch of sensitive people when it came to him.
-----End-----
The next chap will be the last, then we'll see how many kills we've got and how strong Draco is before we move on to the next part.
