Lily dried her clothes with wind element and dried Aaron's clothes even though she had an idea that he had his own method since he was a Hidden class.
"Thanks." he said looking around.
Lily also looked around and saw that they were standing in a big city where there were people walking around who looked like they were actually staying here, and many had shopping bags with them. It looked lively and many walked either in pairs or in small groups. The buildings were blue and looked like they were made of coral or something similar. There were mermen who walked around on two legs and Lily thought they had a method of transforming.
“It’s a beautiful place.” she said, admiring it.
"People come to buy things that can heal and extend their lives and there are a lot of good spa places that are popular with women. It is said that your skin becomes as soft as a baby's skin after a visit.” Aaron explained chuckling.
Now she wasn't too surprised that it was so popular because everyone was searching for the perfect eternal life and women always wanted to look young. They started walking and after 10 minutes they saw many huge green platforms floating many meters above them. They were all crammed with people and Lily was afraid that there wasn't room for her on some of them.
“Is that where the portal is?” she asked.
"Yes, a portal opens further up that you have to fly to. When the portal opens, the entire area from the platforms up to the portal becomes a pvp zone. If you lack kills, I suggest you get some of them now.” Aaron replied.
Lily had 3 days to clear the last 5000 and since it would be a pvp zone she might as well steal some kills when she was already here.
"Good idea. I ask Ezekiel for help.” she said but suddenly heard the system say, “You must kill them yourself. It doesn't count if you get help.”
She sighed and knew it would be all too easy if she could ask everyone for help.
She looked at Aaron and said, "I'll contact you when I'm done."
He nodded and Lily contacted Ezekiel who took the call immediately.
"Where are you?" he asked.
“Below the platforms. They look stuffed.” she answered.
"We are standing on platform 27." Ezekiel said.
Lily quickly walked around and with Aaron's help they found platform 27. There was a small number below them which was easy to miss if you were new here. Leaving Jun De with Aaron, she activated the Wind Walker and flew upwards towards the platform that was high above her.
When she got onto the platform, she saw that it was enormous and there were at least 100 people present. She was surprised and looked around for a man with dark brown hair and a red headband because that was what he was wearing the last time she saw him. She looked for some time but got annoyed because she couldn't find him, and she hated the smell of people's breath and their sweat and suddenly felt sick.
She called Ezekiel back and asked, “Where are you?”
"Stay standing. I will find you." he replied and hung up.
Lily waited impatiently, stopping to look around because it would hurt her eyes. Shortly after, a group of 5 people appeared in front of her. There were 3 men and 2 women and the man in front of them was wearing a black hakama and a white top. He had a white headband on and 2 red samurai swords on his back. He had dark brown hair and dark eyes and was a handsome young man that Lily recognized immediately.
“Wow, she's beautiful Ezekiel.” said a woman standing behind him, walking over to Lily to study her more closely.
"Hi everyone." greeted Lily because she didn't know what else to say because she had been forced here.
Ezekiel chuckled and said proudly, "I'm not friends with just anyone you know." and smiled widely.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
Lily felt taken advantage of but if she got gold in return she couldn't complain. She looked at Ezekiel and was sure his Hidden class had something to do with martial species or samurai in general.
"This is Kristoffer who’s a chanter. There is Elfina who’s a bard, Anne is a sorcerer and Kenji is also a sorcerer.” Ezekiel introduced.
It was a full dps team in Lily's eyes especially with chanter and bard without a cleric. She nodded at him and wanted to introduce herself but chose not to.
Noticing her reaction, Ezekiel said to his team, "She has a hobby of changing her name all the time." and chuckled.
Lily knew he wasn't stupid and was relieved that she didn't have to explain about her system that they were sure to ask about.
Ezekiel has asked if you want to join his party 'YES' 'NO'
She accepted it immediately and looked at him and said, "I have some kills to get done on the way to the portal."
"Okay. Should we help you?" he asked.
She cleared her throat and replied, “No it's a solo quest. How many are present?”
She was sure there weren't 5000 here and that meant she had to wipe everyone around her.
"The more that appear, the more platforms are made." he answered.
So that meant there was definitely more than 5000 or was there?
She was afraid her system would punish her but there was only one way to test it. She nodded and they waited in silence, looking around at the others. Lily could hear them whispering and pointed at them and knew it was her they were talking about. People were judgmental and she was now lvl 280 and hoped they only looked at her first crappy titles which would hopefully scare them away so she could have peace.
A few minutes later she noticed that there were many more platforms than before and hoped she could get some kills.
She checked out her skills and looked for the one that could kill the most at once. The only problem was that she had to revive everyone before her quest would be completed because it was her goddess quest.
How the hell was she supposed to do that without being detected?
The Blood Moon Festival was the fastest choice and since she was on the same team as Ezekiel's people it wouldn't take their souls, or would it?
“Is the Blood Moon Festival stealing my team's souls?” she asked.
"No, it does not." replied the system.
She was relieved when she heard that and looked at Ezekiel with a serious face and whispered in his ear, "I have a killing quest of 5000 and plan to take everyone who is present."
Hearing her, Ezekiel looked at her in shock and surprise and nodded eagerly because he was curious.
"Wait here. When the portal opens, we'll meet up there. Whatever you see you must keep secret, or I will come after you.” she said softly.
Ezekiel nodded and Lily flew down and landed on the ground, waiting as she looked up to watch for when the portal would appear. She contacted Aaron and asked if she could wear his mask and he happened to be nearby and immediately appeared with Jun De. He still had his Oni mask on and took out another Oni mask that she knew was the one that the monkey boss would drop tomorrow. She thanked him and put it on and got ready and waited anxiously.
Aaron who was standing next to him said softly, "I'm assuming you trim the whole area." when he knew she still lacked 5000 kills.
Lily nodded and replied, "I hope it doesn't fail."
She suddenly remembered that she didn't have time to place souls in everyone's bodies and asked, “Can I let the orb place souls in the bodies?”
"Yes, you can command it with your thought." replied the system.
"Thanks." Lily replied, relieved, making Azrael's cloak into a monk cloak and placed Soul Reaper on his back and put his hair up in a ponytail.
2 minutes later she heard:
The Perverse Twins have awakened.
There was a loud vroom sound and suddenly a huge blue portal appeared floating above the platforms. She saw people start throwing different buffs at each other and knew she had a few seconds to get ready.
She activated Master of Disguise and activated Wind Walker and flew up towards the portal as soon as possible because she would register as a monster to all of them.
"A monster. Kill it.” a woman suddenly shouted loudly.
Ezekiel looked up and smiled and said low to his team, "Let's see what she has to show us." because there was so little in the world now that could impress him.
Lily was the first to reach the front of the portal and looked down at the platforms to see people still throwing buffs at each other and making quick strategy. The whole thing was now a pvp zone so everything was allowed, even monsters.
"I have come to harvest your souls." she shouted out loud, grinning evilly.
"It's the monster from before." shouted the same woman again, pointing at Lily who was hovering in front of the portal.
Lily activated Blood Moon Festival and locked everyone as targets. Suddenly a large red moon appeared behind her covering the portal and people were shocked.
Will you harvest souls yourself or let the moon do it for you?
She took the moon immediately and everyone's souls began to fly towards her and into the moon which turned completely white. When the moon had absorbed everyone, it shrunk into a small red orb and Lily immediately took out the black soul orb and it absorbed the red orb.
Do you want to revive them?
She held the orb up in front of her and commanded it to spit out souls to their corresponding bodies. Immediately all the souls flew out and landed in their bodies and she immediately activated the Mother of Life. She flew to the platform where Ezekiel and his group were the only survivors left so they were easy to find.
Landing in front of Ezekiel, she removed the mask and disabled Master of Disguise.
They stood looking at her speechless and didn't know what to say.
"I'm ready." Lily said as if nothing unusual had just happened.
Ezekily cleared his throat and said, “Okay. That was fast." and they flew towards the great portal.
