Chapter 8 : Yuri-chan goes on an adventure!
It's now the eight month since I started the game.
Finally! After three months of slaving at it, it's finally finished !
My beautiful castle !
I always wanted to own a castle, but that would have meant marrying the prince that goes with it!
It's so blue and shiny!
The walls surrounding it are 15 ( about 50 ft) meters high and 10 ( about 32 ft) meters thick. They were the easiest to make because I could just create giant slabs of ice on the spot to make it. The smooth basalt that constitutes the middle of the wall was costly as hell I had to fork out about 500 gold to buy the raw material, and another 100 to convince Brokkr to move his arse and smelt it back together so that I can use it !
The reason is simple, I don't trust the other pantheons not to come and mess up my castle anymore. Bunch of envious jerks, all of them!
Seriously, that crazy elf woman summoned a meteor on it !
I actually had to thank my brother for saving my poor castle!
In front of everyone (she had the gall to air it live as she did)!
Unforgivable !
So of course, I went Queen mode and taught the degenerated goblin her place.
Which happened to be under my heel.
I beat her up real good at her house, curse-froze both her arms and legs, generally raged ( a.k.a: distracted people as Cheshire made off with her treasury and anything valuable not riveted to her walls through the backdoor) and took one of her divine blessings.
See how you like it when you're on the receiving side, Bitch!
On the good side, now I'm a goddess of nature, too.
After that, nobody else came.
Oh, yeah, I've given up on not using my title. Too troublesome otherwise.
Things have been tense with the elves for a while, but since they started it, they had to suck it.
I was really, really angry, and Odin doesn't let me forget about it.
Seriously, I've put four months of hard work and thousands of gold (mostly not mine, thanks Shayera) into it!
**Ahem**
So, walls, done, I've even decorated with more ice to make it prettier. Glowing rune patterns ran along the outer surface. Razor sharp.
I've built a white marble and silverwood castle city inside of it, using my temper tantrum earned gold, so that people could heat inside of their houses. They're the average, two story medieval house. Since it was supposed to be showcased and the elves made it a matter of Honor, the other guys and some of the Ardent and Midlander gods ( in the latter's case, only pacifists trying to escape the madhouse) lent a hand and took care of the more troublesome things, like magic power lines or sanitation.
That nice Athena girl helped with architecture for a while, until she started speaking about 'Tasu-kun' and was chased away by Brother.
The castle in itself is made of Ice though
Its tallest tower is also the central one, a round tower of the french romantic style of a staggering 50 m (164 ft) that's the 'divine tower' that is god only and holds my chambers and treasury, and as such is so protected it's not even funny.
Circling it are 6 smaller towers of about 20 ( 65ft) to 30 m (98 ft), for stuff I haven't decided yet. Each of those towers are curved inwards , and join the central tower to help support it. They are all of equal circumference, and their roof was made of blue to violet colored ice.
There was a small Ice garden surrounding it, before another, smaller, set of walls similar to the first one surrounded the proper castle. The insides were Renaissance inspired, except that, instead of gold, she used silver.
But not any kind of silver, oh no...
As an ultimate form of insult for the Nature (Not anymore) and Earth goddess Shayera, I traded the rest of the stolen gold for silver, and used that and the ill-gotten green to blue to violet gemstones to decorate her interior, and made it known as 'sneak peeks', the giant mana diamond that the archmage imbued with all her divine power was currently used as a candelabra in the throne room, at the base of the main tower.
A bit before I was finished, I received a notification that the player that played Shayera had ragequit the game and had been replaced.
Heh.
You don't mess with a goddess of death and war in her own territory and get away with it!
Now I'm freeeee! I got brother dearest to take care of the public opening, he's good with that, so , in my glorious disguise and the title off ( it hides my other ID), I'm currently traipsing the country, leveling up with Cheshire who's lvl 140 now. I'm level 80, marquis(e), and currently looking for a new place to live in, because 'Givreglace castle' is going to get crowded, and by now you've probably realized I hate people.
So, yeah, I'm alone with catboy and kitty cat, well, mount-cat now, and we're currently kicking a few frost giants' butts.
Muhahaha ! Die insects!
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Those four months of nothing but letting others walk on me might or might not have caused some stress that needed to be spent, and Heimdall just so happened to have sighted a group of monsters that needed extermination.
Those frost giants were in the way, soo...
Hehe, in the legends, they all loooove Freyja, let's see if Yuri-sama can train them out of that habit.
" Ah, there's somebody here already."
Noted Cheshire, pointing at the shore. A black portal emitting purple energy was present, forcing the region in a strange dusk.
Eh ?
I can't contact the GM or GS anymore ?
Umu, that looks like a virus.
There are people coming out, dark skinned, with horns and hooved feet.
Aaaah, demon invasion.
And long before the authorized time too.
And they saw us.
They look pretty high leveled.
Running away is probably impossible for me, it's a demon lord field. Cheshire has passed the level 100 threshold though, so his agility is much higher than mine.
"Cheshire, run."
"Eh ?"
"One of those guys is probably a hacker, and that purple field makes is so we're constantly in combat, so we can only log out in death. Once you're out, Scream that 'Yuri is making out with Hideyoshi'. He'll come running. Tell him to get the others, I can only buy so much more time before having to move."
The cat didn't bat an eye and started running.
The movement seems to have attracted their movements, which means they have somebody with a zone detection spell also in it.
Aaah, annoying..
[Freezing]
[Blizzard]
The temperature drops, the ground freezes , heavy snow starts to fall and runes fly everywhere.
Hopefully, that'll dissuade them from coming after me in melee.
I dodge a spell, then another one. Hm, this one trained his power more than his accuracy. The blizzard is horrible to aim, so I should expect area or homing spells coming out soon.
The other guys are not moving, good for me, I can go on the offensive. If I manage to place enough Ice spires around, it will be my win.
[Ice Spire]
Ice comes from beneath the guy and impales him.
"You know, if you're not serious, don't blame me if you die..."
The other people are finally agitated and shower me with spells and projectiles.
[Ice spire] Intercepts another hit, before falling to the ground near me, and I start moving around.
"You Bitch, [Soul ripping demon god's shot]"
Gee, so that's a demonic 'hidden GS' ? He only barely beats the Midlanders'...
" L.A.M.E. What age are you, 12 ? At that age, my little brother would've found a better name."
There was a purple circle around that woman, and it started expanding horizontally. Not good by any means, but if I can't outrun this, I can still get above it.
As the spell was reaching for me I was hoisted up by another [Ice Spire].
As expected, the spell tears into it and makes it fall. That human in black with them is still casting, that's worrying. My Ice spire fell across the other and I landed less graciously than more next to it.
The sky suddenly turns red, and arcs of energy fly around the maybe-not human.
Yep, time to run.
I cast [Ice metor] and [Ice bubble] simultaneously. The red shot eclipses the sun for a moment, before launching towards me at high speed. The meteor crashes into the spire, which created a lever effect that catapults my bubble high in the sky, away from them and towards the inside of the continent.
Problem, the red shot changes direction and comes at me.
I put the rest of my mana inside of several layers of frost bubbles and brace myself for the shock.
Oh god, my ears.
Eeeeh, I see above the sky...
Pretty...
Ah, I'm falling again.
You're leaving the continent. Divinity suspended.
Respawn point too far. Changing respawn point.
Respawn point too far. Changing respawn point.
Respawn point too far. Changing respawn point.
Respawn point too far. Changing respawn point.
I see some terrain , not far from the sea. It gets closer, really, really fast.
Looks like I'm gonna crash.
Aaah, that sure is troublesome ~
