"The life of the party has arrived!" Baron Samdi announced with dramatically flare.
Adrian put his guard up and hid Creepysoo behind him. He does not know how this individual just suddenly appeared before them but one thing is strange. Baron Samedhi did not step out of the green smoke like that is his boundary. Adrian used his evil eye to see what he is dealing with.
NPC: Baron Samdi (Lesser Avatar)
Title: Ioa of the Dead, Giver of Life
Description: One of the subordinates of the Twin Gods and is said to dig the graves of the deceased to send them to the afterlife. As well as being the master of the dead, Baron Samedi is also a giver of life. He can cure mortals of any disease or wound, so long as he thinks it is worthwhile. His powers are especially great when it comes to Vodou curses and black magic. Even if somebody has been afflicted by a hex that brings them to the verge of death, they will not die if the Baron refuses to dig their grave. So long as the Baron keeps them out of the ground, they are safe.
Baron Samedhi is wearing a top hat, black tail coat, dark glasses, and cotton plugs in the nostrils, as if to resemble a corpse dressed and prepared for burial. Baron Samedhi would sometimes become blurry and then his appearance would change to that of a skeleton. Adrian wanted to question Baron Samedhi but the latter is actually waiting for something.
"Well, why is there no applause? Give me cheering!" Baron Samedhi exclaimed as he snapped his hands then skeletal hands rose from the green smoke to clap for him.
"Ohhh! Who do we have here? It is none other than the Champion of the Twin Gods himself. It is a pleasure to meet you. I would shake your hand but if I did that then you would die so let's avoid that." Baron Samdi stated while making big gestures.
"Nice to meet you too, Baron Samdi. Are you really here to take Creepysoo's life away?" Adrian asked as the name of the NPC is still green meaning he is friendly.
"Oh! I was going to punish him. Where was I?...You little boy has broken our oath. Thereby, granting me dominion over your life…for a day." Baron Samdi stated in a deep voice but it turned nasally at the last phrase.
"I thought it was serious. It was only for a day. I should get going then. The demigod blacksmith is not going to find himself." Adrian stated but Creepysoo hang on his clothes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Big Brother, help me." Creepysoo begged.
Adrian did not reply instead held Creepysoo's hands and clasped them together. Adrian then showed a big smile which made Creepysoo tear up because the latter thought he was getting help. Adrian then gently shoved Creepysoo's hand towards his chest.
"Big Brother, I knew you would be there for me." Creepysoo stated while having crocodile tears but he got shocked because Adrian just bolted out of his room.
Creepysoo lokked behind him and Sirius was no longer there. He could even see faint lights that indicated that magic was invoked. The look of betrayal was priceless on Creepysoo's undead face. Adrian did not say anything but in Creepysoo's mind the former looked like he said something like "bye have a great time".
"I am sorry little bro. I wanted to help you but seeing as you do not want to be taken even for a day then it must have been torture before. Besides, it is not your first time." Adrian thought as he went to Koronn to teleport him back to the Paradox Planes.
"Ok. That is enough acting now boy. You shall be my personal chauffeur and driver for my night of partying! Let us go!" Baron Samdi stated as the green smoke carried Creepysoo's body towards the coffin that the former entered.
"No!!!" Creepysoo shouted.

Adrian reappeared back at the Paradox Planes with the help of Koronn. He wanted to do interdimensional teleportation but the elders told him that he is still too weak to do that meaning he is still low level. Adrian asked Koronn to teleport him near Pann's ranch so that he does need to search for old man Pann.
Pann is there in his ranch once again tending to his herd of Capricorns once again being all happy until he saw Adrian. Pann's smile disappeared and now the old man has a neutral expression. Adrian already got used to Pann's expressions.
"Old man Pann! I am here to ask you something." Adrian announced as he sprinted towards Pann.
"This brat really bothers me more than my babies." Pann muttered to himself then shouted, "What is it brat!? I am busy so hurry up."
"Do you know where I can find a demigod blacksmith?" Adrian asked straight away when he reached Pann's location.
"A demigod blacksmith ey. Who even gave you the idea that I know one anyway?" Pann stated with slight irritation.
"Koronn did. He told me you are a Noblesse but is currently recuperating so you are not full power." Adrian replied.
"That snob. I will teach him a lesson when he returns." Pann stated while holding up a fist.
"So anyway, what about it? Do you know one?" Adrian asked while Pann's temper has yet to explode.
"I know of one but it has been years since I last saw that old fart." Pann replied.
"It is better than nothing." Adrian replied.
"If you say so then come with me. You will need a map then." Pann stated as he gestured Adrian to follow him to his cottage.
Pann then lead Adrian inside his home and Adrian finally saw what is inside. The home is quaint and humble not something that screams I am a Noblesse. The only thing that screams Noblesse in Pann's home is the strange creatures that even Adrian could not identify. While Pann is looking, Adrian decided to start small talk because he gets giddy if it becomes too quiet.
"So Pann, what makes someone a Noblesse? Do you conquer your inner demon like what I did so that I can become a greater demon?" Adrian asked.
"Haha. You are taking the test of your inner demon too light if you think becoming a demigod like being is easy as that. Do you really think that those three brats would still be Arch Demons is they could beat their last inner demon?" Pann replied.
Adrian then thought about what Pann said. In myths, something like becoming a demigod like being is not that easy. Some had to endure countless trials before ascending to become one while the easiest way is to be born as one.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"So can you tell me how you ascended to become a Noblesse then?" Adrian asked sincerely since he really wanted to know.
"All I could tell you is that I became enlightened and accepted the power from the universe. You will not understand it now because you are still weak but you will once you become an Arch Demon." Pann replied and he finally pulled a map.
The two of them looked at the map and it detailed all of the continents. It even has details of continents that sunk years ago due to the war with the dark gods. Pann then pointed on a tall white mountain located at the northern continent.
"Here it is. This should be the dwelling of that old fart that spends most of his time crafting. He is a Jotunn that has elemental affinity to the cold. You would call him a frost giant if you see him." Pann stated and gave Adrian the map.
"A Frost giant?" Adrian asked.
"Like us, the Jotunns have different names that is dependent on their elemental affinity. Though that is what others use so that they could be easily distinguished." Pann stated to give more of an idea to Adrian.
"I see. Anyways can you be sure that the blacksmith would help me if I ask him?" Adrian asked as he does not want to be turned away before he even asked or worse get killed.
"Good luck with your adventure boyo." Pann stated as he chased Adrian out of his home refusing to answer the question because even he is not sure.
"Thanks then old man. Next time, you can serve me some refreshments. You are lousy to your guests." Adrian said as he ran away so that Pann would not catch him.

Meanwhile, Creepysoo is dragged into Baron Samdi's death realm Vodou.
"Why the long face little boy? You should be happy serving someone such as I for a day. You can brag to your friends that you are friend of the Baron. You would become famous child." Baron Samdi stated.
"Yeah right. I swear that I will have my revenge big brother! I will prank you so hard that you will keep your head down while walking." Creepysoo muttered to himself while he is wiping the wine glass that is one of many.
"Oy. You missed a spot." Baron Samdi pointed out.
"Yes, Sir." Creepysoo replied as he picked the glass again and cleaned it.
