Will of chaos

Pov Dargon:

I was signing the last pay report for the Adventurers who participated in the battle, but I still had to sign damage reports, potion usage reports, and the reports on engagement with the other Guilds during this crisis.

"You're a few hours early, did something happen?" (I)

I tear my eyes from the paperwork and look straight ahead to where Lyefh is sitting, I only feel him why he allowed this, this ability I hired him to watch over the Church of Light.

"He's gone." (Lyefh)

"..." (I)

It took me less than 5 seconds to understand what those few words mean, so I remained silent for a few more seconds before I started asking questions.

"What direction did he go?" (I)

"I don't know, but I suspect there was help from the Fairies, a few hours ago one of his Lesser Familiars went towards the forest, and one of my subordinates followed to the border of the Fairies' territory." (Lyefh)

It seems he acted faster than he expected, to escape without being followed must have been through high-level space magic, so it might have been one or more Space Element Fairies helping out.

"(He was fast, much faster than he expected.)" (I)

"Any movements from the Church of Light?" (I)

"No moves, but without the kid here, they won't be easy to keep teasing." (Lyefh)

"Alright, you did a good job, I'll prepare the promised payment." (I)

I really put everything to waste this time, I thought that with the boy leaving town I could force the Church of Light to act, but he was able to leave without anyone knowing, putting an end to my last plan.

"You little bastard..." (I)

Pov Zenos:

We were all enveloped in a bubble of bluish energy, so I feel the distortion of space, I looked at Freya and Silvia, it seems that they also felt it as well as Layla.

The sphere of energy we are inside was transparent before, but in a short time, it becomes opaque, preventing vision.

When we regain our vision after a few seconds we are already in front of a very strange mansion that left me amazed.

The mansion was made of a mixture of rocks and bones of all types and sizes, it was strange and at the same time elegant somehow, but I never thought I would see such a building in real life, it looks like a super villain's mansion somehow Superhero HQ.

"You finally arrived, I already have everything organized." (Margareth)

Soon Margareth appears descending from the sky with wings made of blood, my sister who was beside me goes to find her.

"Did you do what I asked?" (Natasha)

"Yes ma'am, they have already been informed." (Margareth)

"Good work as always." (Natasha)

"You're already here, so I'm going, it was nice to meet you." (Farrari)

The Space Element Fairy disappears as if swallowed by space itself, then I look at my sister who starts talking.

"Welcome to Colosseum City, also known as the city of forts." (Natasha)

"In this city, your value is earned with what you do, don't expect the perks of normal cities." (Natasha)

"Explain to them, Margareth." (Natasha)

"Wouldn't it be better to show them the manor first, mistress?" (Margareth)

"They can see that later, better know what to expect while they're here." (Natasha)

"As you wish..." (Margareth)

"Wait, I thought we were going to the Castle of Dragons?" (I)

"It would be better to wait in this city, don't worry little brother, I sent Margareth ahead to take care of everything." (Natasha)

"..." (Margareth)

"(I don't like the smile on her face, plus Margareth seems to be avoiding my gaze for some reason.)" (I)

It looks like my sister is up to something, but I guess I have to trust her right now, I'll wait and see.

"As you can see from this mansion, the architecture of the whole city is like this, in this place it is not allowed to use normal materials for anything." (Margareth)

"Whether it's the materials for an outfit, armor, weapon or even the construction of houses and buildings, everything must be made using monster parts and only monster parts." (Margareth)

"Wait! You mean this mansion..." (Érica)

"100% made from monsters defeated by my master during the founding of this city long ago." (Margareth)

"So these rocks are from Golems?" (Diana)

"Yes, as I said before, all the house and furniture in this town come from monsters, the wood comes from plant-type monsters, stone and metal comes from a variety of Golems, and even the food comes from monsters." (Margareth)

I look again at the mansion, I can feel a dominant and wild presence of the mansion, but I thought it was some monster trapped somewhere, but from what Margareth is saying it seems that what I feel comes from the mansion itself.

"That doesn't make sense, that would be a huge waste of high-end materials, and the consumption of those resources would be unimaginable." (Ivan)

"Trade must be crazy." (Érica)

"I guess they still don't understand… hahahaha…" (Natasha)

"I think there was some misunderstanding, I said that this mansion was built with the parts of monsters my master defeated, that goes for everyone in the city." (Margareth)

"I get it, everyone in town has houses with monster parts, what's the problem?" (Ibuki)

I look at my smiling sister and at Margareth who seems to be having fun being vague on purpose, then I think about what she's said so far and I notice something hidden in her vague words, something absurd.

"You don't mean that the homeowner has to hunt for the materials to build his house, right?" (I)

"That would be absurd, as well as making no sense…" (Kira)

"As expected of lord Zenos, you are correct." (Margareth)

"You can hire the builders, but you must bring the materials yourself, it cannot be bought, and you cannot hire someone to do it for you." (Margareth)

"Can have family members, party members, Summons and Familiars to help, but the person himself must play an active role in the battle." (Natasha)

"What if someone wants to buy a ready-made house, already built?" (I)

"Impossible, the house can be inherited by a descendant or next of kin, but at the time of sale the construction will be destroyed for the new owner of the land to start his own construction." (Margareth)

"Of course when destroying the house the materials belong to the previous owner of the land and not the person who bought the land." (Margareth)

"..." (I)

"..." (all)

This place was absurd, this way of doing things was completely insane.
