A Destained Young Master Villain



Both Warden and Noah entered a tall, large structure that exhibited an ancient feeling but had futuristic features that made this building look out of this world. The building looked weirdly domineeringly out of this world.

As they entered, there were two guards at the entrance. One was a Great Mage, and the other was a Great Swordmaster.

With Warden and Noah approaching the Doom Lord's residence, both of the guards recognized Warden.

"Welcome back, Sir Warden. We have been informed of your arrival by the Lord, and he told us he will be waiting for you both underground."

Both of them entered the building and used an elevator to get underground. They then arrived in a spacious underground white room. The room was about four hundred square meters.

Sensing their arrival, Doom turned his head around. His appearance was the same as the holographic display back in the Guild Hunter Association, with his whole face covered by a mask. There's also no opening in the mask, as a Heavenly Swordsmaster, he could sense everything without needing to see.

No one knew why he wore such a mask, and the people of the Doom Order just speculated that he might be blind.

"Greetings, my lord, I am back with Noah Crellon here." Warden announced.

Doom nodded and proceeded to walk towards Noah. "Noah Crellon, you said you desire power, yes? Are you willing to do anything in order to obtain absolute strength?"

"..." Noah did not comment; he was thinking about how they were planning to give him strength.

Looking at his silence Doom thought that Noah was a bit skeptical, so he added, "You must know, many people want to get this opportunity but never have the chance to do so."

"You will become a very valuable member of our order, so I am willing to help you get stronger."

Noah then finally spoke and stated, "Ok, you all better not be tricking me; otherwise, I'll have all of you killed by my father."

"My father has my life stone anyway; if my life is ever in danger, that stone will shine bright, and if I die, that stone will shatter. Once that stone is shattered, it will emit an image of what happened and what caused my death."

"So you all better not be playing with me!" Finishing off his sentence in an arrogant tone. He did not come here without a plan; it would be stupid to not have one. If he just came and believed what Warden told him, that would make him r*tarded.

"Ai, do not worry, Noah Crellon. I am truly willing to help you. In exchange, you must work for us wholeheartedly." Doom responded.

"Ok."

With that, Doom led him to a small room, and in that room was a fist size mana stone.

"What's that?" Noah asked.

"It is a tier one mana stone of a Whalaspogus, we were able to acquire this mana stone at a great price."

Whalaspogus is a Tier one beast that resides in the ocean and sometimes moves to land during the winter. A very intelligent creature, combined with its prowess, is able to rival a Peak Magister or a Peak Royal Swordmaster.

"Tiered one beast?!" Shocked by what Noah heard, he examined the mana stone in front of him carefully. "So what do you plan on doing by showing me this?"

"This will be integrated into your body, which will make your strength reach new heights like never before. You would also gain the abilities of the Tier one beast."

"After this mana stone is integrated with someone, it will also increase the speed at which one gathers aura or mana."

"What?! Are you serious?" Noah felt suspicious, as this was too good to be true. He had also never heard of a person integrating themselves with a mana stone before, and he had only heard of people absorbing the mana instead of directly integrating it into their bodies.

In the end, he believed that it should be possible since he remembered the technology the Doom Order used outside the island that was able to camouflage the entire island and create an illusion.

"Is there no side effect?" Noah questioned because something like this should come with a price.

"Hmm... the only side effects are..." Doom thought for a moment; "Actually, there is nothing other than getting nausea if you exhaust your aura or mana."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Doom reassured.

'Well, there are other side effects, such as your appearance being altered as you gradually transform into a beast. But you don't need to know that, Kekekekee'

'By the time you noticed, you'd be useless by then. You will just be used as a chess piece by me to help me achieve my goal.' Doom said internally.

Doom might act friendly on the outside; however, he always had a feeling of disgust against nobles.

Noah entered a chamber, and the tiered one mana stone was put into a device that was connected to the chamber that Noah entered in.

"Warden, how'd you even get this kid to join our order?" Doom asked while looking at Noah, who was inside the chamber and had fallen asleep.

"Actually, I have informants all around the continent; at first, I was thinking of recruiting that Zenryx Raverdieu, as I've heard about some things about him, but I gave up on the idea."

"So my next target turned to this Noah kid. He is a spoiled brat and does not know how the world works yet, so he is ignorant. With the informants I have in the academy, I found out his situation and took the chance to contact him, and he agreed to my proposal."

"Ah!" Doom finally understood, "By the way, about that Tiered one Wendigo. Where did that beast come from? Were you also responsible for its appearance during the beast outbreak?"

While Doom was not looking, Warden's eyes turned red for a moment before he said, "Ah, yes, my lord. I lured it into the middle region of the Twilight Zone. And soon it wrecked havoc and killed one of the professors."

"Hmm, weird, usually Tiered one beasts don't show themselves easily. But I guess with all the beasts rushing out of the Twilight Zone, it attracted its attention." Doom analyzed it with his finger on his chin.
