Alright guys, sorry for the delay. Apparently homework ain't friends T_T
I have news for ya... I decided that I'll do WEEKLY releases from now on, just temporarily so I can balance out my schedule a little bit.
The chapters of each week would be longer, that I can afford, and if I have time I'll do 2 chapters a week.
Again, sorry for that, but that's the best I can do for now.
Headache (3)
Mobilizing his 100,000 troops, Bagdur prepared for battle at Ralph's sanctuary.
Originally, these 100,000 were intended to be sacrifices, but since they're all S-rank criminals, Bagdur decided to put them to proper use on the battle field.
By using [Temporary Materialization], he gave them their physical bodies for a fixed amount of them.
In fact, it would just be enough to bombard Ralph's place with time to spare.
Making up excuses like "Ralph's taking advantage of the Artifact", Bagdur dodged a few bullets from the Eastern Holy Land.
He knows that around this time of the millennium is when the True Moon month draws near.
The Eastern Holy Land needs to pay extreme attention to Zoras' seals, so they'll overlook Bagdur's business.
His plan of using the Stellar God as a scapegoat isn't completely lost, the meteorite cannot be proved to has been invoked by Bagdur.
Though he knows he's dancing in Stellar God's hand voluntarily now, he plans to flip the table on that man the moment he lays his hands on the Fortune Artifact.
With only one Golden Key, chances of summoning Zoras is almost impossible.
But there's the word "almost", and there's the Fortune Artifact.
As long as it's not 0%, the Fortune Artifact will make it happen.
Through time, Bagdur developed a mind control spell that might work on Zoras.
Again, there's the "might", and there's the Fortune Artifact.
Thus, if he has the artifact in his hand, he'll be able to control Zoras and climb the hierarchy of the Gods.
With that in mind, Bagdur started his plan and moved towards Ralph's land.
He could've march the army, but that would attract too much attention.
That said, Bagdur decided to spend more points and transposed the whole 100,000 troops.
Originally, he doesn't need that many troops to raid a D-rank God...
But somehow Bagdur felt strange fighting that God named Ralph.
(Hmm... he mastered the use of essence... I don't know how that's possible, but I can't be careless)
Thus all 100,000 were mobilized and transposed.
They appeared in the sky of the small sanctuary and...
「What... the fuck...? 」
Before them was a floating island.
Not high enough to be called a sky city, but it wasn't on the ground either.
A flying piece of land with a magnificent temple built on it.
There were houses around the temple.
Around the body of the floating island were magic circles that has shooting range of a half sphere.
These things would roast anything coming with hostility.
And on the island, in front of the temple were 5 individuals.
From the left, an Arch Demon woman, a Priest dressed in ancient religions clothing, the God Ralph himself, Arch Goddess Amel, and lastly, at the very right, a huge Knight clad in black armor, a gigantic sword and a shield hung on his back.
Above them were an army of around 20,000 angels with Holy spears and valkyries' weapons equipped.
(Tch... Amel huh... I'll deal with you after this...)
「Attack!!!」
Given the order, Bagdur's army of 100,000 S-rank criminals clashed head on with those 5 individuals and the 20,000 angels.
The angels were on par with his troops.
But the 5 individuals were mowing them down like plucking weeds.
Bagdur's face twisted in discomfort.
(What thel hell happened in 3 days?)
***
Hahahahaha... ! ! !
Look at his face, oh my self, look at (scum)Bag-kun's face.
He's staring at Von and Ana with a face that you'd make when you know you screwed up somewhere.
They're chopping down his troops with never seen before magic.
Why? Because they came from games, I don't know about Von, but Ana is completely something new to Bagdur.
And then my new guardian, Mr.Rhodes, Ancient King with Job Dark Knight, and no, he didn't pick that job because his parents were murdered.
This guy is a hybrid tank-dps, he's solo-ing 10 guys at a time up there with flight magic.
You just normally don't fight a freaking [Legend]-grade Dungeon boss like him, unless you're an Elder Lich with a golden staff.
That aside, how did it turn out like this?
Let's rewind again, bedtime stories are good, so please bear with it.
3 Days Ago
「Then what are you going to do? 」
「What do you mean? 」
「How are you going to fight that army of 100,000 souls? 」
Even if you asked me like that, I could only answer "somehow"...
「Well... I have my tricks, I'll pull it off one way or another 」
I'm not dumb enough to just reveal my hand to a stranger, even if she's an ally.
Strong enemies ain't that scary compared to double-faced allies.
Besides, I'll get my Menu back shortly, the only problem would be Points.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Where the hell do I earn a whole chunk of Points in 3 days?
「Sigh... you have a weird aura, I know you've got some strange powers with you... but you won't escape the ranking rule. With your current ranking, you can't just access all of your powers right? Well... not that I know what kind of powers do you have though... 」
Ehh... isn't that kind of correct...
Again, reliable secretary-san.
According to Ori, she can open up my powers a bit more if she merges with the Menu and become something completely different.
I look forward to that... and by the way, if Amel's standing here... she also uses a homunculus?
I though I'm the only one using homunculus.
I see. That's one way to avoid materialization and lose 80% of powers...
「Then... what do you mean by saying that? 」
「According to the stories I heard from humans, this should be the time for the main character to beg the heroine for cooperation right? You're going wrong from the generic scripts... 」
And why the hell are you pouting?
I'm not a fucking hero, woman...
If my life gets turn into a story with me as a protagonist, it'd be a complete joke, people would laugh at me and my secret flirts with my mikos.
So please, whoever watching me, do not turn this into a story... I beg you...
「I'm done being scripted... 」
I'm talking to YOU, Fortune woman, goddamn it...
「...but according to what you just said, we should shake hands? 」
「Actually, we MUST do that. Light Origin told me that I need to make sure you don't lose...」
Whoa... Ori-chan is mad... I'm so not going to pry into this...
「...if the Artifact falls into the hands of Bagdur, it's utterly bad. Besides, I do have plans to form a Coalition with you in the future, your place can be used as a port for exporting goods to Twilight city, and from that, your land would have more chance to prosper, that's if you know how to hold onto the chances 」
Hmm... she's kind of right.
If I freaking make a whole dungeon there, and have adventurers buy tickets to challenge it.
Then open weapon shops, armor shops, even inns, merchant shops and all that...
Then if a branch of the Guild is made there to escort carriages... I can see that's possible.
「How do I know that you're not suspicious? 」
「I can't prove that, but if you lose to Bagdur then this whole world is done anyway... I don't want to die, I don't think you want to die... Fortune Origin and Dark Origin both went missing, if Zoras rises, we're all dead, that's all... 」
Err... so it's the situation where I'm not sure I can win and I need to pick two routes...
If I decline this, death flag raised, we're all dead, there's no Save/Load Game button...
If I say OK let's shake hands, good end is reached, there might be hidden R18 scenes with the heroine, who is Amel, I should even raise ecchi-flags.............. NO!!
Wait wait wait wait !
Why the hell am I thinking like an eroge... this is the reason why my life shouldn't be turned into a novel... people are going to laugh at this God who tries to play an eroge when his land is attacked.
Anyways... I'm not a strategist, but I don't think we should decline this either.
I'm not sure about how to earn a crap ton of Points to protect my lands in 3 days.
「Alright... we'll raise fla—No, I mean, let's shake hands and become allies 」
Geez... that was damn close...
「Okay~ Then it's decided 」
After that, using Amel's transposition magic, we were back at my sanctuary.
The people I transported into the forest to dodge that meteorite safely returned due to them being beast race.
They're good with directions inside a forest.
The elves were fine thanks to Ana's effort.
There were injuries, but no casualties.
Von hasn't returned, but he'll be here soon.
Even the pregnant female Night Hunter was alright. That's a relief.
Now what's left is Leila. Let's dip our hands into business right away.
「Then, how are you going to help me, Amel? 」
「Call your Menu up 」
「Well... I can't right now... but tomorrow I'll be able to 」
「Hmm... then it can't be helped, well talk about how we'll proceed first then 」
「OK then what do have in mind 」
「I know we'll need a huge amount of Points... so I'll use [Transfer] to give you fund」
W-wait a minute... we can give Points?
Then...
「Hey, wait a minute, you have a whole Empire right? You have a crap ton of Points right? 」
「Err... yeah, I have around 2 billion... 」
Oh shiiiit... that's a huge number...
「Hey, we're sitting right on top of the Fortune Artifact right now right?」
「Yeah... what of it? 」
「Wanna bet with me and make a gamble?」
「Oh? Interesting... 」
Alright, now we're doing business.
