B2 Chapter 17: Coming To The Defense Of Miseryland

In the Morning Everyone wakes up and Walks downstairs Groggy. Camille who was serving Breakfast to her patrons Pours them all a Large glass of Lemonade and hands them some warm Croissant’s. Ryan then gives her 5 gold for this generous complimentary Breakfast. Then they all walk into the bathhouse across the Street. A Lady informs them that the Fire mage in-charge of heating the water for their bath is going to be back in 30 minutes and Ryan lets her know he can do it himself. She smiles at him and lets them all into a room for their bath.

Ryan then spends 10 minutes heating up the water, then as they get into the bath Greena comes walking into the bath and strips down naked in front of everyone.

This being the first time she has gotten naked in front of Kannell and Joseph, she feels a little shy but takes a deep breath and dips her head under the water and relaxes.

“So how was your night sleeping under the stars?” Ryan asks her.

“Oh, it was alright” She replied as she floated in the water on her back.

As she floated Joseph and Kannell got to look at the Scars on her body then they look away and figure out why shes been so shy.

“So, The Gatorboar’s already came back to the cart this morning and I hooked them up for you Ryan. They also laid some eggs and I donated them to the Inn keeper. She was pretty happy since her bacon supply was running low. She said she was going to Reward you guys when you got up” Greena said in a Dark Depressed tone.

“Oh, that explains the breakfast, and also her not wanting to take my 5-gold tip I gave her” Ryan said while washing his arms and neck.

“Why do you sound upset?” Kannell said seeming concerned.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Ryan phone please” Greena said while putting her feet on the floor of the bath and standing up.

Ryan then turns around and grabs it out of his pants. He then throws her his phone and she goes through his songs and puts on the song “What Lies Ahead” By SEMBLANT on a mild volume and sits on the ledge and leans her head back with the phone on the top wall behind her head. She then remembers a conversation she had with Arcadia last night along with the Walk they took out of the city.

“So whats the plan today?” Kannell asks as he hears the soft volume of the music being played.

“Travel 5 hours west to Miseryland, deliver these oranges then await further directions. I want to grab more Spells for my Class, and I remember talking to your dad about If I wanted more training, I needed to see somone in Miseryland for my next stage” He told her.

“Oh ya, you need to talk to Dark Master Oz. My dad told me about that. He’s a little on the weird side but he will teach you the Dark Arts of the Blackfire magic spectrum” Kannell said as she gets up out of the water and dries off.

“Well I can’t wait” Ryan said as he turns over to Zephyr and scrubs her back for her. This makes her smile and she gives him a Love filled kiss on his cheek. He then helps her then get out of the bath.

Today her balance was better, and she wasn’t limping around as bad. Greena then grabs a washrag and cleans herself really quick. She then gets up out of the water and meets everyone outside.

Ryan double checks the cart and connections and they get moving out of the gate.

When they start rolling down the road, Zephyr Lays down across the bench and places her head in Ryan’s lap and looks up at him and purrs at him. Ryan thinks this is cute and plays with her blue hair she did not comb.

They roll down the road for 3 hours and then stop to use the bathroom. There were no lakes to cool off the Animals, so they just parked under the shade and let them loose. They go scavenging for wild Vegetables, and they start digging up some wild onions bulbs.

When Ryan and Joseph were done watering their Tree’s, they hop back on the Cart and watch the Animals graze.

“So dumb question, yesterday in that PvP zone you were bomb proof. Whats is the deal with that?” Ryan asked him.

“I don’t know. Magic doesn’t phase me.” He replies.

“Is it because of your Wyonuim Armor?” Ryan askes.

“No, even before I got this kit from Zester, I was always resistant to magic” he replies to Ryan.

“Its True. I always wanted to blast his ass when he would fuck up when we were dating, and it just tickles him” Kannell randomly shouts from behind them. She was brushing her hair which was getting messed up by this Humidity.

Ryan then scans Noodles stats

Vitality:20 Strength:54 Intel:82 Agility:10 Spirit:19 Spell power 0 Precision:0 Armor Rating: 350 Mobility:70 Luck 34 Skill/Spell Improvement: N/A

He looks at his phone and Studies his intel stat.

He then opens up the app on his phone that Goes over the Stat Definitions.

He studies these and looks at Spirt and Intel. Something doesn’t seem right.

“Your stats don’t add up dude” Ryan tells him while looking at his phone while Kannell leans over his shoulder to look at his phone.

“Spirit reduces your Magic Damage taken, but its relatively low. Your Intel is High, but it appears these two stats are Cross-Glitching each other because your building a Stat that’s not meant for your Class” Ryan tells him as he points to the Stat Definitions on his phone to Kannell

“Umm what is a Glitch?” Noodle asks him.

Ryan was starting to get annoyed he’s in a world where his modern vocabulary is non-existent here.

“You’re a Glitch my Friend” Ryan said while sarcastically patting him on his shoulder.

“Ha I knew it!” Kannell said while cheerful shout

“You’re So stupid your fucking up the stats! No wonder why you’re so magic resistant!” Kannell said while laughing from behind him.

Ryan then walks out of the cart and Calls the Gatorboar’s to him. He then Attaches them to the Cart. They then carry on for 2 more hours. With a mile left to go Ryan had the song “Sick and Tired”- Iann Dior blasting. His mother was in her Respawn room all alone Spying on him and hears the song blasting and gets mildly annoyed while she watches Ryan hand Greena the Reins and dances and jams out to the song with his Girlfriend Zephyr. Everyone else in the back Seat were jamming out too as the Great city of Miseryland was approaching In the Horizon.

She watches Zephyr Dance and shake her head while her messy blue hair gently whips across Ryan’s face. He then playful bites a mouth full of hair and grabs her and kisses on the lips and this sends his mother into another fit of rage.

Meanwhile Arcadia was also Spying on Ryan, Zephyr and Greena. She was jamming to this awesome song too. She looks around her empty room and decides to look at her score. She had just enough points from Ryan and Zephyr killing Hugo for her to escape this game world for 10 minutes. She then trades this score for a Mini vacation. She teleports to the main Pantheon room of the Gods and walks over to Alexandria and Gerard. They were watching earth and taking down notes on the Corona Virus they released upon earth. This Virus was supposed to reduce the earth’s population, since this server was overpopulated but has backfired on all the gods. Everyone has just locked themselves in their houses.

Hecate then chats With Alexandria and tells them what she knows about Yulee Disappearing from the game. She tells them how shes been pretty much locked out of the game because of her Early game mistake between the two others. But has unlocked the ability to come down to the game world and explore for a little bit during the day and has unlimited roam at night. She tells her what she heard from an old Demon friend of hers about where Yulee MIGHT be. She thanks her for sending in Ryan since he’s helping her rack up points and followers. She then gives Alexandria a hug and Teleports back to her Respawn room. When she gets back to her room the song was ending and she notices the team being let into the City. She then Grabs her Konosuba Volume 4 book and starts Reading it.

“Hmm why does Aqua Seem so relatable to me?” She asks herself while she thinks really hard.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Meanwhile Ryan Drives the Cart to an Unloading bay and Tons of helpers come out and everyone starts unloading these crates of Oranges. Kannell also helps unload with her magic. While they get unloaded Ryan meets King Joe who comes out with a cheerful attitude and welcomes him to the town. He takes the Bill of Laden and tips him and his team 300 gold each.

Ryan then asks him where his Dark-Master Oz was at. He tells him where to meet him and Ryan walks with Zephyr by his side a half mile down the Road matching Zephyrs slow speed. They chat and Ryan puts on the Song “Sick and Tired” again. They walk and jam out to it on party mode. When Ryan finds the building, he walks inside and sees a whole bunch of Dark magic mages sitting around playing Cards.

“Hello, I’m Looking for Dark Master Oz” Ryan tells them. They all point upstairs, and Ryan and Zephyr go up them while Ryan keeps an eye on Zephyrs Coordination. They climb to the top and Ryan Sees a Man who looks like Ozzy Osbourne. He was wearing a All black and Had Dark Round Glasses. He was talking To Citra who was in her Human form and they were making a Potion in a big cauldron.

When She sees Ryan And Zephyr, she smiles at both of them and starts pouring this concoction into 30 vials.

Without even looking behind him This dark Warlock looking mage raises his hand up and says: “Let me guess you’re here for Training” He says then turns around and looks at Ryan. He walks up to him and places his hands on his forehead. He reads Ryan and Smiles.

“Yep. I thought so” he said as he adjusts his glasses

“Queen Lake Told Me You were coming and paid for your Training in advance Ryan. So, you want to become a Blackfire Battle mage Eh?” He says to Ryan as he pulls off a book from his shelf and turns it to a random page.

“Your Crazy for wanting to walk down this path, But I’m not going to judge you my Friend. Were all a little Crazy here in Eyefore he said as he slaps Citra’s ass. She turns around and smiles at him. She then keeps transferring this solution into Vials.

“So here is the deal I’m going to teach you a few dark art spells kid” He said as he places his hand on Ryan’s forehead

Suddenly he closes his eyes and teaches Ryan [Void Blast] and [Drain Health].

Ryan falls over in pain and feels a Heavy feeling in his heart. He then has this mysterious Metallic Taste in his mouth and spits out some dark matter out of his mouth.

“What is this! Why do I feel so weird?” Ryan asks him while coughing up Jet black saliva.

“Your body is preparing itself for Dark magic kid. Fire Magic has nothing on the Dark magic Spectrum. You’ll be fine in about 5 minutes” He said as he lends Ryan a hand and picks him up off the ground.

“I taught you Void blast and Drain Health. Void Blast is a Shadow bolt that will Reduce your Targets Spirit for a little bit and Drain Health is a Spell you can use to steal health from somone and Self Heal” He said while looking out the window. He then walks up to it and shakes his head in disappointment as he sees a Massive group of soldiers running down the streets in a hurry.

“Oh no Here we bloody go again.” He said while placing his hand on his face in disappointment.

Suddenly the whole town has an emergency alarm go off.

“I’m your Class master son, follow me. That Damn Anarchy group is back!” He said as he slaps Citra ass again. Ryan picks Zephyr up on his shoulders and Runs her down the Stairs and then he walks outside the City walls with all the able body fighters and city guards. Kannell Greena and Noodle all meet up by their class masters and they all prepare for a massive Invasion that was coming their way.

“Son, I was told you have a magical Trinket that plays music Play something for me. I need a Pre-battle power up before this battle from a Bard” He tells Ryan.

“Yes Sir?!” Ryan said in a proud, yet confused tone. Ryan who can’t Believe hes going to fight by one of his heros then Puts the song “I Don’t Want To Stop” By Ozzy Osbourne On God Mode and Enables the Buff to this Song. This Buff Grants 5% boost across all Stats for Everyone on Ryan’s Team. God Mode Amps this Effect Thrice over so every gets 15% boost on all Stats. This mode also Blasts the Song at God Fearing Levels throughout the Town.

“You Did Good Son I like this” Dark Master Oz said as he walks up to the front of the Wall of Defenders. He then sees the incoming Crowd of 1200 Soldiers Charging up to the City in a Close Formation. Suddenly Ryan gets Purgatory cast on him by Greena and he walks up and stands by His new Class master. He pulls out his spell blade and gets ready for this battle.

Dark Master Oz then waits for them to Get closer while the Song Rocks the area. This song Scares some bats and they start flying overhead.

Dark Master Oz then Reaches up and snatches one up out of the air and Raises his Fist with it. He then Bites the Head off of the bat and Throws the Body on the Ground. Next, He Screams and starts laughing maniacally. Suddenly a Black Laser beam Shoots from his Mouth and it flies toward the incoming Attackers. The beam starts out thin and as it got further away from him it widens up quite a lot. Then it Detonates at the first line of Solders and blasts the unlucky attackers up into the Air. This Blast Takes out 45% of the Front wave and Then Suddenly all The Warriors behind him Start Charging head on past him and Ryan. Noodle Leads the Charge with his Class, then Kannell and her Advance league of Arcane mages go into “Attack Helicopter” mode. They Blast into the Air and Start Raining down Hell.

Greena Then Fires her Shadow blast That was similar to Oz’s and takes out quite a bit of them. Suddenly the next Wave behind them regroups and they meet up with the wall of Guards. The Hunters from the Walls start Firing their Arrows and people start Dropping. The Rogues and Assassins mean while from the city start flanking the side of the battlefeild and start commencing chaos from the outer walls of attackers and start attacking from the Rear.

Ryan then Shifts the song to “Black Rain” by Ozzy Osbourne and He charges in with Noodle. His Class starts cutting people down and he starts Getting Bombed. The Battle Priests rush in behind the Warriors but Greena Beat them here and was already healing a 1/3 of them. They were suffering from her spells, but she was keeping them alive. Ryan then casts [Ball Lightning] in Electric mode and lets loose the spell at max charge and Detonates it in near 20 men and this stuns them all. The Warriors then Swoop in and cut down these targets.

Suddenly Citra Flies over the battlefeild and starts attacking people. Men who see her charging toward them Prepare to Duck and this gives the mages overhead a Zone to Aim at since they were not moving.

Next a Familiar Spell looms over the Battlefield: Everyone gets Mortalized. Ryan looks around and his heart starts beating fast. He knows there is a high-level Priest in the Area and he does not want to die again. Oz then Charges up another spell and lets loose a Scream Blast attack. He knocks down another good number of Enemies down and the Warriors up front still keep holding the line and start cutting Down the mages. Then out of nowhere an attack comes out of the crowd and Noodle gets blasted 300 yards back. He hits the Ground hard by and starts sliding in the Dirt and impacts the city’s wall super hard. Greena Runs over to him and tends to him and makes him scream with her healing. 2 people then slowly start walking out of the dust of that blast.

You had a Pissed off Rob Halford Shadow Priest and beside him looked like a Super high ranked Gene Simmons who appeared to be a Warlock. Citra sees him and Decides to keep her distance.

“Ha I been Expecting you bloody Twats. You Ready to get your Arses kicked again?” Dark Master Oz said as he fires up a Spell.

“Bring it old man!” The Gene Simmons looking Warlock said as he charges up his spell. Noodle then Runs up and Attacks the warlock with his sword and catches him off guard he then Blasts Noodle with a blast, and He just Shrugs it off. This catches him off guard and Dark Master Oz lets loose his spell and blasts him into a thousand pieces.

“Holy Shit!” Ryan Screamed as he watches this man get obliterated right before his eyes.

Then the Shadow priest that looked like the Judas Priest singer Rises up off the ground and fires a blast up at the mages up in the air. This blast Nullifies their Slow fall spell and they start falling down fast. 8 of the 12 mages don’t Rebuff themselves fast enough and they come crashing into the ground at a Fatal speed. Kannell who had military training for a situation like this was able to React quickly and buff herself and 2 more people near her. She then focuses on this Shadow Priest.

Ryan, who was on the Ground, gets ready to charge up his first Void Blast spell and aims for him. He charges it up all the way and lets it loose. He hits the man and he falls to the ground with his Spirit halved. Ryan along with Noodle charge him on foot with their blades ready and attack him. Ryan stabs him in the Side and starts channeling [Ball Lighting] in Fire Mode He then sends the spell into the man through his blade for a Critical hit and he then activates a Spell that sends Ryan and Noodle flying away from him. Ryan hits the ground hard and is hurt from that blast. He Tries to stand up and then starts casting [Drain Life] on a Nearby Disturbia Soldier. He slowly steals 7% of the mans health right before a Hunter snipes them with an Arrow.

Dark Master Oz Takes this opportunity to charge up his Scream blast again and with The Shadow Priests attention toward them he Fires his overpowered attack at him and send him flying 200 feet into the air. The mages then fire their spells at him along with the Hunters. Their attacks all hit him, and he hits the ground hard. Noodle and 4 other warriors get ready to end him when he sends another Shockwave from his body and sends them flying. He gets up all bloody and shouts: “Everyone Retreat! The battle is lost!” He then glares at Oz and casts an Emergency teleport spell and teleports away from the battle.

Upon hearing the orders to Retreat everyone turns around and starts running away.

People who were still in combat kept fighting, and those who fled were left alone. With 100 men still left fighting everyone starts helping out those who were fighting and starts taking them out. In less than 5 minutes all the attackers were either dead or subdued and later captured.

Dark Master Oz watches everyone run away in the distance and he looked disappointed at them. He was listening to the ending of this song and looks at Ryan.

“Ryan, if you want any more Training from me, I want you to Wipe those Bellends from the map! Master those skills I gave you and do that and I’ll Train you with more Blackfire spells” He tells him as he turns his back on him in anger. He cloak then slides in the wind and he walks back into the city to talk to King Joe. Ryan looks around and sees a whole lot of dead bodies around him. It looked like his Forces took 19% of a loss while the Disturbian forces took a loss of at least 75%. Kannell was laying on top of Noodle hugging him and she was crying into his dirty arm. She didn’t have a PTSD episode since Greena didn’t blow herself up, but she was still upset over her Teammates falling to their deaths.

King Joe then comes out and Orders the Guards of the city to bury the dead and burn the enemy bodies. He gives thanks for Ryan and his Team for helping defend the City and offers them a Free luxury stay at the castle tonight.

After he accepts the offer, Queen Lake teleports into the city and has a private chat with King Joe about the attack. After she talks to him about the battle for an hour, she arranges some things to help with clean up and in return she asks for some commodities from his kingdom. He accepts this has his men start packing Creates full of Crossbows and Bows along with a whole bunch of Arrows.

They then start loading the cart full of these items while Ryan and his team helps the town with mild clean up. Ryan picks up a Dead Bunnellian Priest and carries her body to a cart that was to take these bodies to a burial site. He then goes back to the same spot and picks up another woman’s body. As he picks up the woman, he notices the Yuleeian charm on her neck. As he walks with her to the cart an envelope falls out of her bra. He sees this but ignores it. He carries her to the cart and walks back to pick up the letter. The letter was from her child that was wishing her a happy birthday and hoping she would “Come back home soon”.

This starts to make Ryan cry, and he walks back to the woman’s body and places the letter in her hand.

For the next 3 hours he picks up the bodies of slain men and woman and moves them to the carts.

After this was over the air was filled with a strong stench of burning flesh of the enemies bodies they were cremating inside a huge giant hole they dug that was filled with a massive amount of Sulfur that was pulled out of the ground. Ryan then Regroups with his team and they all decide to decline King Joe’s offer to sleep in the castle. They decide to teleport back home to Staug and take a break for the rest of the day.

When they walk through the door Liz was playing with Zara and they tell her what just happened. Ryan then gets a bath going for everyone and everyone takes a Silent bath and doesn’t say anything. Kannell and Noodle don’t even hug each other. This battle really messed them all up. Ryan still helps Zephyr get clean but for some reason Zephyr wasn’t affected by this battle. She Sat on the wall with the archers and watched the whole thing after she heard the plan from her Class Master. Her unable to fight just stayed back and grabbed a crossbow and did her part the best she could her Mild Aim. She remembers killing a man that Ryan was draining health from, and also reloading and taking out 3 more people near him.

The team then gets dressed and all decide to walk 5 miles to town and clear their head.

They enter in Breanna’s Inn and she asks Ryan if there was anything he wanted. He Writes down the Recipe for a Po’boy sandwich and she gets to work on making him one. But in the meantime, she talks to Zephyr in the kitchen about what happened. She then hands her a bottle of Orange Moonshine and tells her to pour Kannell and Noodle some and see if they like it. She does so and the 2 drink that stuff down quick.

When Zephyr puts the bottle in front of them indicating the bottle is theirs, they start taking turns drinking it straight from the bottle till they were hammered and totally forgot about the battle.

Breanna Serves them all up a Po’boy sandwich and the take a few bites and love it, but due to being hammered decide to wrap it up and take it home. Brenna offers to give everyone a ride home, and in doing so Ryan smiles at her and Writes down a Recipe for Raisin Bread.

“Whats this for?” She asks Ryan.

“Something I Really, Really Want in the morning before we leave. It’s another idea you may be able to profit from, and also just help you win 1st place during the Festival” Ryan tells her.

Upon him saying that Breanna’s Eyes open wide with excitement and she has a crazy smile on her face.

“Zephyr, I’m about to do that “thing” You don’t want me to do to him. Please stop me before you hate me forever” Breanna said in a Hyper and excited tone.

“Chill out sis. Touch him and you die” Zephyr said sarcastically. Upon saying that they hear a crash over near some tables. Ryan then walks over and picks up a completely smashed Kannell off the ground and Carries her outside, where Noodle was, but face down in the bushes. Ryan then throws her in the cart, then goes back and Carries Noodle. They all ride back to the house and then decide to head to bed.
