Tale of a Hedonistic wizard Chapter 192: We will meet again

Ileana continued speaking as she told him about his mother, "Actually, the one ant to stand by your mother's side was her friend, Julius, a man of great potential. His essence held the incredible power of chaos, a hidden secret even from Augusta herself. He was supposed to be with your mother.

But this power, known only to a select few, piqued Angus's ruthless desire. He sched to take Julius's place, with the ambition of absorbing his formidable abilities.

I highly doubt that this plot might have been orchestrated by the elusive Olympus gods, though their true knowledge of the incarnation remains uncertain. They knew about the power of chaos residing on the mortal plane.

They didn't bat an eye, as it was at a miniscule level. But although they didn't enitrely involve themselves, they invoked Angus' interest, who was the descendant of Zeus himself.

Angus acted swiftly, eliminating Julius before he could grow strong enough to protect his power. He was determined to possess this unparalleled gift for himself, even at the cost of another's life.

Augusta, unaware of the true nature of her friend's death, was eventually courted by Angus, who harbored a hidden agenda.

However, after your birth, Augusta uncovered the existence of your trendous power, which she yearned to shield from any prying eyes. Even I didn't expect you to possess such great magical abilities. Arcane magic from primordial tis: if such nas were thrown into the world, then the world would engulf in chaos and wars would be waged.

The arcane arts you possess have an imasurable value.

So, she had to conceal all these arts inside of you, she didn't want anyone to see what a trendous talent you are. The Lord was actually pleased with your talents and potential.

At that ti, she had given you to your aunt so that you could live your life peacefully far from this corrupt world.

To achieve this, she ticulously inscribed an intricate runic seal, a protective enchantnt to conceal your imnse potential. Over the years, this seal has been compressing your potential and eventually giving rise to another aspect of yourself, manifesting as the Crimson Jaegar, your alter ego.

Jaegar, that Crimson Jaegar is you, and you are him. You must co to terms with his presence, accept it, and ultimately unite with it to beco whole."

Jaegar's breath beca more rapid, and he was unable to focus. For the first ti, he had been feeling too many emotions. He had learned so much about his mother.

Jaegar's curiosity stirred as he questioned Ileana, "You ntioned the necessity for both chaos powers, but my mother is no longer among the living. Is her incarnation also reborn, like I am?"

She didn't speak for a mont, and Jaegar's anticipation grew with each passing second.

In response, Ileana turned to him, a knowing smile gracing her lips, and calmly stated, "No, there's no need for that."

Jaegar, his emotions in turmoil, dropped to the flat, rocky surface and stood before Ileana, his gaze intense with hope and disbelief. He pressed her for answers, "What do you an? How can you be so sure she's still alive?"

Ileana, radiating an air of serene confidence, maintained her enigmatic smile and replied, "I am a deity, Jaegar. I possess knowledge of all that transpires on the mortal plane. The fate of you two, I am privy to it all."

Jaegar was utterly shell shocked by this revelation. His voice trembled as he asked, "You're telling that my mother is still alive, well, and out there sowhere?"

Ileana nodded, affirming the truth, and continued, "However, I must emphasize that she is in a realm far removed from your current plane of existence. The journey to reach her is an arduous one beyond your imdiate capabilities."

Jaegar took a few deep breaths, attempting to collect his thoughts. The idea of his mother being alive was a shock he had never anticipated, and he struggled to process it. After a mont, he composed himself and inquired, "What must I do to reach her?"

Ileana maintained her enigmatic smile as she responded, "You need to rge with the being inside you first. When the ti is right, I will guide you to her."

"You need to grow stronger, more stronger than you are now."

Jaegar felt a mix of helplessness and frustration, realizing that he was still far from achieving this monuntal reunion.

But another thought crossed his mind, a na that held answers: Angus, his father, and the key to uncovering the whereabouts of his long-lost mother.

Sensing Jaegar's thoughts, Ileana cautioned, "Before confronting your father, you must undergo training to beco stronger. He is a formidable adversary, and it's likely that he has the support of the gods.

Choose your actions wisely, and, for now, keep the knowledge of your mother's existence to yourself. This eting, too, shall remain a secret between us."

With a serious expression, Ileana imparted her wisdom to Jaegar. The weight of the newfound knowledge pressed down on him, making his head swim with conflicting emotions. The revelation of his mother's survival had opened a chasm of uncertainty and longing in his heart, one he was still struggling to comprehend.

Ileana continued with determination, "Now, sit here. I will help you rge with him, as your previous attempts have failed."

Jaegar complied, taking a seat as instructed, he was engrossed in his own thoughts to question her.

Ileana raised her hand, and the golden haze surrounding her flowed towards the crimson figure, drawing it down and rging it with Jaegar.

The process was not without pain; Jaegar's body bore the brunt of the rging as cracks ford across his skin, and he groaned in agony.

Ileana, however, remained focused and continued to channel her energy into the rging process.

Ileana gently placed her hand on his back, guiding and stabilizing the newfound power within him. For a mont, a phantom of a crimson figure writhed within Jaegar, struggling to find its place, but it soon subsided. As the crimson entity integrated itself with Jaegar, the cracks on his body began to spread, gradually healing.

Jaegar's eyes snapped open, revealing a wondrous glint within them. It was as if he had been reborn, reborn with newfound strength and clarity.

Jaegar's eyes were now a srising sight, his iris a deep crimson, with pupils resembling burning golden flas. The entire sclera glowed with a light golden hue, a striking transformation that left him both in awe and amazent.

This profound change had occurred far more rapidly than he could have anticipated, thanks to Ileana's guidance.

Feeling the power surging within him, he stood up, his gaze filled with gratitude as he turned to Ileana. "Thank you," he said, sincerely expressing his appreciation for her assistance.

Ileana offered a warm smile in response. "There's no need for that. You are after all the one who would be my lord one day. You are His incarnation." Her words carried a sense of reverence and acknowledgnt of his destiny.

'...her lord.' A thought struck his mind, but he imdiately threw back his head. His gaze was drawn to the perfect globes resting on her chest.

Then, quickly drawing back to her eyes, ntioning the word 'lord', he thought about the Chaos god.

However, Jaegar couldn't help but ask another burning question. "You ntioned that He is pleased with . Does that imply he is alive too?" His voice held a trace of hope, longing to know more about the god.

Ileana sighed gently before answering, "Unfortunately, no. He's no longer alive, but a part of His soul was preserved with the help of the Goddess of Chaos and Himself, but very little remains." Her response carried a tinge of lancholy as she spoke of the god's dwindling presence.

As their conversation reached its conclusion, Ileana spoke, "Now that my purpose here is fulfilled, I shall take my leave."

Jaegar couldn't help but voice his desire to et her again. "What if I want to et you again?"

Ileana chuckled and assured him, "I will be in touch, Jaegar Ambrose."

When she was about to leave, she said to him in a lodious tone, "The reason I ca here was on the orders of my lord. And he expects you to be focused on the things at hand and stop being a womanizer."

Then, before vanishing into the ether, Ileana bestowed Jaegar with a radiant smile that left an indelible mark on his heart, a smile that seed to hold countless secrets, promises, and the reassurance that their paths would cross again in the intricate tapestry of fate.

With that, her form took on a golden hue, and she dissipated into the air, leaving Jaegar in the company of his newly rged self and the newfound knowledge that would forever change his path.

Jaegar stood there, he could feel his power radiating throughout his body; his muscles flexed with raw power, and every fibre of his being roared with arcane energy.
