Book 2 Chapter 8: The last summoned hero

* 500 years earlier -

* Diuscrucis’s POV -

* In the gaming room of the Black castle -

“Fine……. So let’s talk about the day I met the Horseman of Legion.”(Diuscrucis)

‘Bang’ ‘Gruff macho man voice’ “And what a beautiful day it was although if I remember it correctly you were a girl.”(???)

Glancing behind me I see my now destroyed door with three people walking in. Getting up I walk over to greet my friend as well as her husband and child. The man who is most likely responsible for destroying my door is Solomon. A five foot something inches tall man with, brown eyes, short brown hair, a fake white fu manchu, scrawny build, and relatively dark skin. He is wearing skinny jeans, a green polo shirt, brown sandals and black socks that have a green trophy on them. His wife Falisha is a about 6 ft tall with long black wavy hair that goes down to her waist, c cup breasts, peach colored skin, crystal clear green eyes, and a tendency to stab people with spoons. She is wearing a long red dress with red seven inch heels to match. Despite trying to hide it I can still see the red spork she has in her self made dress pocket. Behind them is a child with pink hair that has white highlights but I can’t really see them because their parents are in front of them.

“Speak of the devil. That is some amazing timing. It’s almost like it was part of the plot or something.”(Diuscrucis)

Reaching them I take his hand and throw him across the room making sure I snapped his arm before I let go.

“That’s for my door asshole. It’s good to see you again Falisha. How are your fellow wives?”(Diuscrucis)

“Ow.”(Solomon)

‘Soft and kind voice’ ‘Softly giggles’ “Those whores are fine. I made sure they won't be bothering us for our anniversary. We just came by to ask if you are willing to watch over our child while we’re gone.”(Falisha)

“That depends. Which brat am I going to be taking care of?”(Diuscrucis)

‘Small girly voice’ “Hello Uncle Reaper. I’m really happy to see you again.”(???)

‘Deep breath’ “No. Not just no. Hell no. I’m not watching over this demon in elven clothing.”(Diuscrucis)

Stepping out from behind her mother is a little girl who should be no older than ten. She has pink hair with white highlights, cream skin, dull pink eyes, small breasts, small pointed ears that are cutely twitching, and stands at about four and a half feet tall. She is wearing brown cargo pants, a brown shirt, and brown sneakers while carrying a green and red camping bag.

“Why not man? You know she loves being around you. Just watch over her while we’re gone and we will take her away again when we get back.”(Solomon)

“Oh I know she loves me. Just like your wife loves you. She’s lucky she’s your daughter…. Hey Mary! I was just about to talk about how your parents and I met. Want to hear it?”(Diuscrucis)

“Yes please.”(Mary)

Saying that she jumped onto my chest and clung to me like I was the only thing keeping her alive. While I was prying her off I could feel death glares from three people behind me.

“Hey Solomon…. I can understand Samantha giving me the death glare. Who else is giving it to me?”(Diuscrucis)

Walking back over to me Solomon snaps his arm back into place.

‘Snap’ “Ow. Samantha, Crescendo, and it looks like your little lamia. The tray with drinks that she is holding is shaking quite a bit while she has an emotionless mask. The other two however have this weird smile that looks like they are about to rip you apart. Now before we go I want to stay for this story because I refuse to allow you to lie to my children about the past again.”(Solomon)

“I never lied to them. You just have bad luck so most of the things I have to say about you are bad.”(Diuscrucis)

‘Rolls his eyes’ “Whatever you say man.”(Solomon)

Saying that Solomon walked to a nearby round table that had several sets of cards in the drawers in the legs of the table. Sitting down he started shuffling one of the decks. Seeing him do this I sit across from him and Death takes a side seat. He then starts giving us two cards each.

“So how did you meet?”(Mary)

‘Nerves laughter’ “...Well….”(Three Gamblers)

______________________________________________________________________________

* Several thousand years earlier -

* On the docks at the Lake of Denial -

* Diuscrucis’s - POV -

‘Young lovely sounding female voice’ “I can’t believe you made me buy this. Are you a gambling man or just a pervert?”(Diuscrucis)

“You made a bet and lost. Repeatedly. So now you have to do everything I say for the rest of the day. Now continue playing dress up for me so I can find good beach clothes for Karma.”(Death)

“Fine. Whatever you say old man. Just help me bring this crap on the boat. I’m not your pack mule.”(Diuscrucis)

“I am helping.”(Death)

“You took a foldable chair and your fishing rod. That’s it.”(Diuscrucis)

“And that’s two less things you have to move. Besides, who do you think bought this boat?”(Death)

“I did! I even have the receipt to prove it!”(Diuscrucis)

‘Leans back into his chair’ “Isn’t it you that says don’t mind the small details? Also change into this red bikini. That black one is no good on you.”(Death)

Whispers first sentence’ “Mother fucking gready asslicker of a zombie whore. Fine.”(Diuscrucis)

Taking the red bikini from Death I go into the yacht’s changing room. Once inside this white room I strip and change into the new bikini. Once it’s on I pose in front of the mirror.

“I have to admit. Death has excellent quality choice but his design choice is just terrible.”(Diuscrucis)

Looking at the bathroom mirror I see myself standing at six feet seven inches tall with shoulder long green and pink hair that looks like I laser chromed it. My skin is a light shade of pink with my eyes being a gentle maroon. My breasts are only D cups but this bikini makes them look bigger. Grabbing a pair of cream shorts I walk back to the main deck.

“This better or do I need to change again?”(Diuscrucis)

“...You look good. Keep it. I’ll get another for Karma when we get back.”(Death)

“Finally!.”(Diuscrucis)

Hearing the good news I immediately put on my pants and move to get the last of the equipment when I notice that all of it is gone.

“Yo Death. Where’s our shit?”(Diuscrucis)

“I already moved it onto the boat.”(Death)

“How?! I was gone for less than thirty seconds!”(Diuscrucis)

Relaxing even more into his chair, Death says nothing and just stares at me from the corner of his eye sockets.

“... Forget I asked.”(Diuscrucis)

‘Pathetic sounding masculine voice’ “Are you about to leave? Please Take me with you!”(???)

Looking towards the dock, I see a five foot eight inch tall man with, brown eyes, short brown hair, a lean build, and relatively dark skin. He is in polka dot boxers and white sneakers. Using my newly regained skill to scan him. I can’t help but be shocked.

Status

Name: Solomon Hyodo

Age: 30

Profession: Hero

Level: 7

Why is a hero here?! I don’t remember summoning the last group….

‘kicks a ladder over the edge of the yacht’ “Climb aboard you damned pervert.”(Diuscrucis)

“Oh thank you mighty and beautiful maiden!”(Solomon)

‘Eye twitches a little’ “Call me that again and I’ll use you as fish bait.”(Diuscrucis)

Climbing on the boat, he gives me several deep bows while apologising to me. While he was doing that I reeled in the ladder and went to the wheel so I could take us to sea. When he was done begging for my forgiveness, he looked around and stared at Death who somehow manage to switch his foldable armchair with a long blue tanning chair while holding some mirrors.

‘Nervous laugh’ “My fair lady. Can you please tell me why you have a pimped out skeleton in swim trunk resting on a lounge chair?”(Solomon)

“I’m working on my tan. I have to look my best for the date I’m having in a few days.”(Death)

‘Jumps in fright’ “Holy! It talks?!”(Solomon)

“Oh shut the fuck up old man! Your bones are black! You can’t get a tan!”(Diuscrucis)

“Oh really? 3,000 credits on me getting a tan by the time we get back.”(Death)

“Your on!”(Diuscrucis)

Seeing us talk to each other, Solomon grabs a chair and takes a seat next to Death.

‘Looking back at me’ “So what’s your name my fair lady?”(Solomon)

“Her name is Dusi.”(Death)

“Stop fucking calling me that!”(Diuscrucis)

“Dusi a lovely name for a lovely woman.”(Solomon)

‘Voice takes a temporary demonic pitch’ “I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU!!!!”(Dusi)

“I wonder why she hates her own name so much.”(Solomon)

“Dusi is just embarrassed you are seeing her like this.”(Death)

“AAAaaAAAAaaAAAaaaaHHHHhhhh!!!!”(Dusi) ‘Boom’ ‘Splash’

Enraged I break part of the wooden wheel and hurl it at Death. His response was a loud laugh and leaning his head just enough for my attack to miss, It flies passed him into the water. Upon impact there was a huge explosion that rocked the boat and drenched all of us in water.

“I may not be able to hurt you Death but know that I will make you pay for this.”(Diuscrucis)

“I will love to see you try.”(Death)

“It seems you two have some kind of frenemy relationship… Well pardon my rudeness. My name is Solomon. It is a pleasure to meet you miss Dusi and mr…..”(Solomon)

That was all he was able to say before I ripped his head off, spine included, and drop kicked it into the lake. As his body was shooting blood out of his corpse like a fountain, I get back to the wheel and continue to sail.

“You know I’ve been wondering something for a while now.”(Death)

“What?”(Diuscrucis)

“Why is it that when you switch genders you seem to have drastic mood swings?”(Death)

“...That is a really good question. I have no idea. It wasn’t like that originally....”(Diuscrucis)

“Huh. Interesting.”(Death)

A few hours later I took an extra chair from storage and sit across from Death. Taking out my fishing rod I smile and start to relax.

“So what are we fishing for?”(Diuscrucis)

“Gold Fish.”(Death)

“With or without the lasers”(Diuscrucis)

“Both. They sell for a great price.”(Death)

“Ahhhhhh! ‘Heavy breathing’ Holy crap! I’m alive! How?!”(Solomon)

“Damn you are one weak willed pansy.”(Diuscrucis)

“....”(Solomon)

“You’re in the Underworld dumbass. It’s hard to stay dead down here. ‘Plop’ Oh sweet I caught one!”(Diuscrucis)

Pulling on my rod, I grab my golden fish and toss it into my shadow for safe keeping.

‘Look of shock’ “Wait. Did you just catch a shiny magikarp? (Solomon)

“The fuck is a magikarp!? I caught a Gold Fish.”(Diuscrucis)

“A red fish with white or gold fins, big googly eyes, large dumb looking lips, and the most pathetic attack in pocket monster’s history. The shiny version is super rare and solid gold.”(Solomon)

Turning towards him I get ready to ask him many questions about what he just said but then I saw Death fishing at an incredible speed. He was putting on the bait to his hook and after it was in the water for a few seconds, he would reel it out with a fish. Tossing the fish into a small black disk that was just floating next to him I smirk and continue fishing.

“If that’s how you want to play. Let’s play. ‘Pew’ Fuck!”(Diuscrucis)

Scanning the mostly clear water for fish I hurl my hook into them and reel them in. As I do this I feel a small magical spike to my left and lean back as a small beam of red light flew past my head. As it passes in front of my face, another beam comes out of the water and breaks my fishing rod.

“What was that?”(Solomon)

“The big fish. Thousand credits on you getting killed by a stray shot.”(Death)

“Your on.”(Diuscrucis)

With the bet set I grab my backup rod and we both got up from our seats. On the count of three we started collecting fish by the dozens while being shot at.

“Can someone please tell me what’s going on?”(Solomon)

“We’re fishing! What the fuck does it look like we’re doing?!”(Discrucis)

“Majestically swirling your hooks in the air while break dancing.”(Solomon)

“It’s more fun that way.”(Death)

“So what’s your story. It’s rare to see perverts begging to get on a departing ship in nothing but their underwear.”(Diuscrucis)

‘Shy laugh’ “I was running away from my wife.”(Solomon)

“Why?”(Diuscrucis)

“Because she is flipping crazy! I don’t know what happened to her. She was so kind and caring when we first met.”(Solomon)

“How long have you known her?”(Diuscrucis)

“Four days.”(Solomon)

“....”(Death & Diuscrucis)

After hearing him say that, both of us just keep fishing in total silence for a few minutes. As we did I could almost feel Lulu’s spirit take one of her wings and rest it on her face while muttering something about this man being an idiot.

“What made you think you knew her well enough to get married.”(Diuscrucis)

“She saved my life and took care of me the entire time I knew her. All she asked in return was for me to be her husband so I agreed.”(Idiot)

“...’Sigh’ What caused her to change?”(Diuscrucis)

“I tried to leave her house without her permission.”(Solomon)

“Oh……. She’s going to rip you apart.”(Diuscrucis)

“Please! I will do anything you ask! Just help me! I can’t……..”(Solomon)

“Save your breath kid. We got company and knowing Dusi’s luck, It’s going to be your wife.”(Death)

“Gods Damn It Death!!”(Diuscrucis)

Moments later I felt a huge surge of magic surround the ship and pull us into the now blood red water. Moments later, we are hurled back to the surface and the water color turns back to normal. Looking around I see that we are inside of a ship storage unit but the other three ships in here are on fire and sinking into the shallow water. The room is mud brown, with two entrances, a cat walk and several platforms for workers and fisherman to handle the boats. The room is easily large enough to fit a cruise ship but the room is mostly empty. Looking at the single catwalk that is about fifty feet above our current location, I see someone take a swan dive towards us before doing three flips and landing gracefully on the deck of the ship. Without a sound the individual stood up and I got a good look at her before she threw a bottle of holy water at my face. She is 6 ft tall with long black wavy hair that goes down to her waist, c cup breasts, peach colored skin, has crystal clear green eyes, and is sporting a traditional miko outfit.

‘Shatter’ ‘Splash’ ‘Voom’ ‘Ting’ ‘In a flat monotone voice’ “The fuck.”(Diuscrucis)

“Why would you leave me darling? I love you. Is it because of this slut!?! How dare you try to seduce my husband you whore! When I’m done with her let’s go back home ok? ‘High pitched ding’ Your turn bitch.”(???)

Wiping my eyes so I can properly see, I noticed some drastic changes. The first is that a large cylinder made of apple sized white balls is surrounding us. It goes from the bottom of the water to the roof of the building. Each ball has a large H, L, or M on it and one H ball is glowing red. Surrounding her is a pentagram with a pink creature on it. She has one white ball circling around her. Pulling up her status with [Dragon’s Eye], I couldn’t help but feel like she looked remarkably young for her age.

Status

Name: Falisha (Hidden)

Age: 93

Profession: Summoner(Master rank)

Level: 637

“Death. What’s going on?”(Diuscrucis)

“It looks like this woman is a summoner and she just challenged you to a game of Blood Sign.”(Death)

“How do you play?”(Diuscrucis)

“Just think of it as one extremely complicated game of rock paper scissors.”(Death)

“How do I win.”(Diuscrucis)

“Like this.”(Death)

Saying that Death stretch out his arm and a decagon with a large skull in the middle appeared on the floor. He then tossed a credit at a L ball and waited while a white ball started to fly around him.

“Stand aside skeleton. My fight is with that woman with two souls. Not you.”(Falisha) ‘High pitch ding’

“No. I win.”(Death) ‘Bang’ ‘Splat’ ‘Slow sounding shattering of glass’

Saying that he kicked the ball floating around him and it flew faster than I could perceive. By the time I realised he kicked it, his foot was already going back down to the floor. The ball on the other hand went through her head and through another ball which made a thirty fool hole in the cylinder. It then slowly started to break away into nothingness while the woman’s body fell to the ground. Solomon saw this and fainted.

“...Do you need me for anything else today?”(Diuscrucis)

“Nope. Your free to go. Just give me all the fish you caught.”(Death)

“Sure thing. Just give me four thousand credits for winning both bets.”(Diuscrucis)

“Ha! Keep the fish. It will cover how much I owe you.”(Death)

Saying that, Death disappeared in a puff of white smoke. This left me with an unconscious man-child and a headless corpse. Seeing a chance to finally change back I take off my bra and pull a white shirt from my shadow. Putting it on, I look towards the corpse and see the head rapidly growing back. When it did the woman looked at me in complete and total rage.

“Take him and leave. I got better things to do than to look after him.”(Diuscrucis)

Hearing that she walks over to Solomon and picks him up in a princess carry. As she starts to walk away into a swirling red portal, she glances back at me with a look of gratitude and said one word before she left.

“Thanks.”(Falisha)

* Several thousand years later -

“And that is how I met your mother.”(Diuscrucis)

“So cool!”(Mary)

“Ok! There are several things wrong with that story!”(Solomon)

“Like what?”(Diuscrucis)

“Well first off, I was not that bad at flirting.”(Solomon)

“Your right. I’m sorry for getting that wrong. Mary, it seems I gave your father too much credit. He was actually a lot worse.”(Diuscrucis)

“No I wasn’t! Let me tell you what happened.”(Solomon)

“Please do. I would love to hear how you died and came begging to me to save you.”(Diuscrucis)
