AUTHORS NOTE: it seems many have conflictions on the direction of the last few chapters but most of it will make sense later on in this chapter. Much will be explained. Also the goblin-men can't mine THEIR IN A DUNGEON. Their is no layers of earth under them. The only material is the material the dungeon is made out of.
I walk towards PAIN and direct FEAR telepathically as he can no longer see. As I move towards PAIN slowly, I pick up Angel and John with my armour tails. It seems to understand what I want it to do simply by thought I don't even have to talk telepathically to it. As I gather everyone in one area I see guards rush forward from the doors in the arena
“KILL THE DEMON DON'T LET IT GET AWAY!!!”
all of us are now in one spot. Codex takes over my body and I slowly place my hand onto the ground. A large blue ring goes all the way around me and my companions. I feel the last 5 rings drain completely and then my own mana is drained. And then I blacked out.
I woke up to the sun shining in my eyes. In my arms were John and Angel. Their clothes were ripped up so you could see both of their chests. My body feels heavy torn and sore. I look around and see some trees and a pond. I move my head back and see the bodies of FEAR and PAIN both are sleeping. I push the girls off and slowly get up.
“codex what happened it feels like I partied hard in my old world.”
“well we teleported away, that's why I told you to forge the note and get some extra cash”
“where are we?”
“honestly no idea”
“hmm”
I look down and see that the girls are awake Angel looks at John and her eyes open
“John why you boobs?”(Angel)
“hm what?”(John)
“why do you have boobs?”(Angel)
“because John is a girl her real name is Joanna” (me)
“...”
“...”
“okay where are we Charles?” (Angel)
“no idea we are however far away from Black Wall and home” (Charles)
“hey this looks like my homeland” (Joanna)
“oh you recognize where we are?”(Charles)
“yes the trees look similar but if I am right there should be a lot of demons and monsters in the forest.” (Joanna)
“hm looks like we will have to be careful” (Charles)
“how did you beat Kolburn?”
“what do you mean?”
“he is a well known son of the head council member who never shares his name. Kolburn had the ring of strength, mana and ring of desperation on”
“what do those rings do?”
“the ring of strength quadruples your strength, the ring of mana quadruples you mana and the ring of desperation makes you stronger, faster and smarter the longer you fight. Your only real chance of winning should have been to kill him/incapacitate him first. He was a huge mana pool to start but not only that, he was also wearing the ring of foresight allowing him to see what one person is going to do”
“well my armour technically has a mind of its own so seeing that would have required him to wear 2 rings.”
“not only that but where did you get all that mana? That was a ridiculous amount almost the same amount as one of the council members themselves”
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“these rings of mana”
I show her the rings. As she inspects them I continue talking
“although they are currently empty so they are kind of useless right now”
she hands them background
“so what is with those mutated creatures calling you God?” (Joanna)
“ya we want to know” (Angel)
“its a long story”
I explain to them everything about abyss and the goblins. I left out everything pertaining to codex.
“so what your saying is that you have lived for about 16 years?”
“yup”
“and your body is still ten years old like us?”
“yup”
“doesn't make any sense to me but whatever”
“ya”
“well anyways we need to get moving before we are attacked”
I look over at FEAR and PAIN they are standing and look better then before. FEAR is still blind and PAIN is limping.
We head south and I kill some minor animals like raccoons and squirrel and feed them to PAIN and FEAR. After a couple hours we stop and rest. As Angel is resting on me Joanna is resting on another tree. As we rest in silence I hear
*CRUNCH
right behind me. I get up, pull out my sword to see a couple of orcs behind me. I jump back and he smashes the tree where I just was. Angel rolls forward and I see FEAR being thrown a corpse by PAIN. I jump forward and block the orc from moving his axe and one of my armour tails pierces his head. Because its a forest I can't see how many their are but from where I am there looks to be large amount. It turns into a blood bath around my feet. In the centre is Joanna and Angel using spells to kill orcs after about 5 minutes the orcs stop coming but I can hear them shuffling around in the trees.
“I have healed one of FEAR's eyes and PAIN is in a good enough state to go hunting orcs, you should let them go and get some food” (codex)
“FEAR and PAIN go get some food and eat to your hearts content”
they wander off and I can hear the sound of combat. Some orcs come forward after they leave and I just cut them down. I then lay down and go back to relaxing.
“how can you relax with so many orcs around?!?!” (Joanna)
“FEAR and PAIN have it under control”
“but from their numbers it should be a whole hoard of them!!”
“good that means they will have lots to eat.”
I roll over and feel angel snuggle against my back.
“hey you told me that you would teach me magic if I followed you!!”
“I need some time to recharge, I'm tired”
Joanna doesn't answer and as I am about to sleep.
“don't you have better clothes for us to wear?”
I my other two shirts out of my bag and hand them to the girls
“no let me sleep I’m tired”
“fine”
“turn over” (angel)
I turn over and she snuggles against my chest.
