Me and the angel start to fight just above the trees. He dashes towards me, trying to impale me. I quickly dodge to my left side where I block a sweep from his lance with Mira.
I have to limit my use of fire here so anything besides flying is probably out of question for now. I push away his lance with Mira and try to slash his head off but he quickly puts the shield in front of him, blocking the attack completely and without making him move back.
I try to fly around him but no matter how much I try I can’t, he is always facing me. The only good part is that he can’t really attack me consistently, he doesn’t have enough range to put enough force into a stab or swing. I also can’t really do much as his shield can cover 100% of what I can hit in my position.
After a few minutes of this I have enough. I begin a nose dive in the direction of the golden armored guy. The angel took a second to realize what was going on so I have the advantage here.
After a few seconds I reach the guy and try to slash him Mira. His armor absorbs a lot of the impact but I can see some cracks on the torso now. Not a second later the angel tries to stab me from the back. I dodge by a hair.
We are both on the ground now. The golden armored guy still is frozen in place, probably maintaining the summon of this angel.
The angel charges at me again. As he approaches me, I try to do a slash upward with mira to disarm him but as soon as I try that he vanishes from my sight.
In a split second my brain tells me that he will appear above me, from my back. Probably because that would be the best place to hit me right now and that is what I would do if I could do it. Luckily, I was right. I fly myself to my right with as much force as I can and not a moment later the angel dives into the place where I was, stabbing his spear in the ground.
I try to take this chance to slash his wings but as soon as I am in range to do anything he is facing me again. I hit his shield with a lot of force but nothing happens, I don’t even feel any force from the impact. Something happened, I felt all my attacks on that shield until now. It looks like just a big iron square plate, I don’t even feel any magic from it.
Before I can think anything else the angel tries to bash me with his shield making me go backwards a little and he begins a series of fast stabs against me.
They don’t have as much force as before but they still hurt. I have to put a healing fire on myself because I can’t block or parry every stab, some are hitting my arms, legs and scratching my face.
The stabs go for around a minute. I take this chance to try to disarm him again. When his spear is going back I grab it and try to fly up. Suddenly a wave of energy appears between me and the angel and I am sent flying.
When I regain my senses I am near a big rock, like mountain big and it’s not like I was sent that far away, I can still see the golden armored guy, I am just a few meters away from were I was but now there is a fucking mountain near us. How we weren’t seeing this?
I get up and dodge to my right again as the angel comes flying full speed towards me, trying to stab me. His spear made a hole in the rock.
“Hmmm, ancient magic…” He says as he turns to me, ready to continue our fight.
I would try to go after the golden armored guy but I don’t think I can be fast enough to not get hit afterwards now.
I take a quick look around. The ground is mostly stone and there are no trees in at least 15 meters. Mira is fully charged so I set her ablaze now.
I fly towards the angel and do a vertical downward slash that he blocks with his shield. I make sure to glue Mira to his shield and put as much power into it as I can while maintaining my flight.
We stay like that for about a minute.
“Foolish human, you will never break my shield.” The angel says to me in an angry voice.
I ignore him as what I am about to do requires a lot of concentration, I don’t want to die doing something stupid.
His shield even after all this time in contact with a hot blade doesn’t change so I begin my plan. Due to my blessing I can make some really interesting stuff. I learned that the reason two objects don’t just phase through one another is that we are pretty much vibrating on the same frequency. If you could vibrate in a different frequency from another object you theoretically could phase through it. Heat is generated when molecules vibrate at high enough speeds, so in a way fire magic is controlling the vibration of molecules.
I focus a spell on all of myself, I imagine my mana moving all the molecules of my body at a really high speed making me phase through this angel.
It works, but at a heavy cost, it took a lot of mana, I can’t really tell how much now in detail, but it was close to half of what I had at least and I am feeling a little pain all over my body.
As I phase though the angel he is set ablaze and probably due to shock didn’t move. I take this opportunity to slash the back of his head with all the power I can muster at the moment.
I manage to take a piece of his neck off but Mira doesn’t go any further than that, some kind of barrier stopped my slash and pushed me a few meters away.
When I get my footing again I take a look at the angel. He is using a rune to summon water and put out the fire and another to heal his neck.
“WHY DON’T YOU DIE ALREADY!” The angel shouts at me as he turns in my direction. He is clearly angry.
He creates another rune, a big one, bigger than the one Mess showed me when he made the bricks.
I take a quick glimpse around me and see that the golden armored guy has a barrier around him.
“Heat Barrier!” I shout, creating a barrier around me, I focus so I can put as much mana on it as it will be necessary. I feel something big coming, the rune is getting too much mana, too fast.
The rune finishes charging and a flash of light appears. I feel something trying to break my barrier so I am constantly putting mana on it. After 10 or so seconds the light vanishes and I take a look around. I can’t see trees anymore and the stone mountain now has some cracks on it. The ground still is normal, not burned or anything, just everything above it in a really big radius just vanished.
“Holy shit.” I say without really thinking.
“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The angel screams finally realizing that I am still alive and rushing towards me.
I do the same and we clash mid air with our weapons. After a few moments of neither of us being able to move forward we both disengage.
After a second of us looking at each other, the angel begins to rapidly fire spells at me. By the look of it, it is a light bullet, a small ball of light energy that burns from what I can see.
I put a simple barrier around me to defend myself.
“Razor Flame!” I shout, slashing the air in front of me with Mira and sending various fire slashes in the direction of the angel. He defends with his shield but due to that the barrage lessens a little.
I take this chance to get as close as I can. Now his back is to that stone mountain, I can try something really strong without having to be worried about the entire forest burning.
I make my magic string stay in contact with Mira as I try to slash the angel again. He prepares to defend with his shield but at the last second I let go of Mira and put my two hands on it.
“Nova Blast!” My mini-sun was created and exploded point-blank. I also create a barrier at the same moment to reduce the damage I would take.
After the explosion I am sent a few meters back. After regaining my footing I take a look at the damage. The angel is with his back in the stone mountain and there is a big hole on his shield. Looks like part of his belly is also burned.
He tosses the shield away and comes after me. He is with a really angry face right now.
As I get ready to do another Nova Blast I realize that I will probably be out of mana if I do that. He is coming straight at me so I will try to use this chance to get close, since there is no more shield in the way.
As he gets close to me tries to stab me multiple times but I either parry, block or let it just scratch me. I am not using the healing flames so I have to be a little careful.
After a few seconds of this he finally tries to stab me in my left shoulder. As he does that I fly forward, skewering myself. It hurts like hell but the angel, probably due to shock, doesn’t let go of his weapon.
After moving myself all the way towards him. I hug him really tightly and force a kiss.
“You are going to give everything to me.” I say as I lock lips, then tongues with the angel.
After a second he becomes unable to resist and I start to suck everything from him. His life, his mana, his will, nutrients, etc… By the time I finish the angel is dust and I am close to 100% again.
I cast healing fire on myself as I remove the spear from my shoulder. It takes around a minute for the wound to heal enough to not be a problem.
After that I go look for the golden armored guy. I find him in the same place as before, I think, and he is kneeling on the ground.
As I get near him I realize that he has no mana left on him.
“So, I guess I sucked you too.” I say to him, taunting him.
“How did you do that?” He says out of breath.
“With a kiss.” I say nonchalantly as I remove his helmet. His hair is white, he is really thin and looks around 25 years old. He has a really average face with dark brown eyes.
“You bitch, look what you did to me.” he says, trying to muster anything against me.
“What is your name? I would like to know.”
“I am Gerius Mammon, the one who will have everything in the world.” He says as if he is insane, probably realizing what is about to happen.
“You look like you have some energy in you but a kiss would be too good for you so goodbye.” I say as I slash his head off. After a few seconds his body also turns to dust along with his armor. I wanted that armor.
I take a few more minutes to breathe and to let my wounds heal 100% and then set my sights at the mountain. How was this hidden and why did the angel say ancient magic? I have to take a look.
I fly until I am on top of the things and as I look at it I have to say I am surprised, it’s just a giant square boulder the size of a mountain. I have no idea how many kilometers tall and wide this is but it looks like a giant dice looking from above.
After flying for a few minutes above it I realize that it doesn’t have any snow on it. I guess not every high mountain has snow on it.
I can’t sense any mana from it and it looks like anything besides moss can grow on it.
I make a last round around the area where I battled and realize that the ruins in the area also vanished. I hope there was nothing important or cool there. At some point I wanted to actually study this place but now there is nothing to do.
I begin to fly back to Sagrada. Along the way I find the four people that ran away patching each other with bandages and herbs in an open part of the forest.
“Hello, how are you doing?” I say as I land right in front of them.
“Please, we don’t want to die.” The woman says in a pleading tone.
“Don’t worry, I am not a fan of needless killing. I am here to help, if all of you can give me some information.”
They talk with each other for a few seconds and accept my proposal. I cast a healing fire on all of them when they say they will help.
“Let’s start with introductions, who are you and what were you doing for him?” I ask everyone there.
“My name is Byrna, I am a monster tamer and I was contracted to tame some drakes.” I knew it.
“My name for now is Tob, I am an Fist-Fighter and I was tasked with protecting the lady here.”
“My name is Hil and this is Josh.” One of the armored men says while pointing to the other.
“Hello. We can’t actually remove our armor without some help so we can’t show our faces. Also we both were being paid to act as his underlings.”
“... Why?”
“Money is money. For the amount of money he was paying us we would dance naked on the street.” Josh says.
“Yeah, my family is not hungry anymore.” Hil says.
“... Ok.” Looks like the man was not pure evil but that doesn’t mean he was good. “So, does your boss die often?” I ask the two.
“What kind of question is that?” The dwarf asks.
“I want to make sure I killed him. I know of plenty of things that don’t really die unless you kill them under very specific circumstances”
“Not that we know.” Josh says.
“Yeah, we were pretty sure he was immortal.” Hil says.
“Ok then. Do you need any help leaving the forest?”
They stop for a moment and then panic hits them.
“Please help us. We didn’t walk here.” Byrba says.
“How exactly did all of you reach this place then?”
“The man had a strange crystal that could teleport you.” The dwarf explains.
Fuck, more shit I would love to have.
“Ok. Do any of you have any rope?”
They look around their bags and it looks like there is around 10 meters of rope.
“Just so all of you know, the trip will have almost no stops, I hope you are ready?”
“What do you mean?” Byrna asks.
“I can fly, I am taking all of you with me.”
“Even if you can fly, there is no way you can maintain flight for too long.” Hil says.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“I pretty much flew nonstop for 3 days.”
They look at me like I am some type of monstrosity but don’t say anything else.
I tie the rope around my shoulders and then arrange it like a bench so they all can sit on it while I am in the air. Then with what's left of the rope they all tie themselves to it so they won’t fall. They are a little too cramped but they will survive.
The flight back to Sagrada was not a pleasant one to anyone. If not for the fact that those people could have some useful information I would probably have left them there. I could have just extracted that information in the forest but then I would be the bad person here.
Took more or less the same time to go back as it took for me to find the ruins. The only stops were to eat, relieve ourselves and for me to masturbate.
My brains kept telling me to have an orgy with those people. My desires are going a little too out of control for my taste. I would on ocasion think about perverted stuff but now as soon as nothing that classify as danger is on my mind I start to think about sex.
The only saving grace about this entire situation is that even if I gave into my desires they wouldn’t. As soon as they touch the ground they either throw up, faint, or do both one after another before eating and taking care of their business.
The only time this didn’t happen was when we reached Sagrada.
As I land near the walls, various guards come to receive me.
“Ma’am, we were waiting.” One of the guards says to me.
“Hello. Did something happen?”
“There is a battle currently happening in Degrada. Lady Sophia is there helping with the defence.” The guard informed me.
“Then can you please escort the lady and the gentlemen to a cell in our prison?” I say looking at them.
“Why?” The dwarf asks.
“All of you still have things you have to answer. I would have done it now but as you see I need to help. So unless you want to be dead I suggest you either vanish from existence or go to jail”
They all nod in agreement and fear. I drink some water from the fountain in the middle of the city and fly towards Degrada.
--//--
“What the fuck.” I say as Degrada is in my field of view. The city and most of the farms around it are ok but the battlefield, if you can call it that, is a shit show.
There are a lot of things that look like people running towards the city with spears only to be slashed and/or bombarded with spells from the people defending the city. It’s not like this is looking like the attackers are going to win in any way but the battle is at a point where people are trying to be creative just for the fun of it.
One man is playing baseball with the heads of these creatures. Another is playing what looks to be bowling. There is a group of mages using a lot of low level spells on a single enemy without killing him.
As I go down to land I notice that the attackers are earth golems like the ones I fought before, just smaller.
When I finally land, Sophia and some old guy with a oriental heavy armor come to meet me.
“We were waiting.” Sophia says to me.
“Mind if I ask what is going on?”
“You tell us.”
“I have no idea. As far as I know the one responsible for those things is dead.”
“We know someone near here is controlling those things.” The man says. His helmet is covering most of his face but I can see some white beard and not the kind where your hair is naturally white. His voice is somewhat strong.
“And why aren’t you advancing them?”
“Because if we do, they will start to attack another place.” he explains to me.
“Yeah, two days ago they were attacking the south of the city. As soon as we started to advance they started to attack here.” We are at the east of the city.
“So what do you want of me?”
“Fly around and look for what or who is controlling these things.” Sophia says to me.
“Ok.” It’s not like I have much of a choice. I am somewhat tired but I will survive.
I first fly towards the wave of golems to see if they will stop appearing but looks like just me isn’t enough.
Then I go to where they are appearing from. A quick look around the plains in the area reveals nothing. I land behind the golems spawn point and to my surprise the golems ignore me. They are only going forward. I check the ground for runes but I feel nothing. There isn’t mana around here either, at least not more than the normal.
I fly around the city a few times but I see nothing and sense nothing out of the ordinary besides the people battling. After all that I go back to Sophia. She is really easy to find here, there are no other people here who can use light magic.
“Do you know if the ones that were stalking people here in the city were arrested?”
“What?” She answers.
“I guess that is a no.”
“I've only been here for 3 days.”
“Ok. I think I have some ideas now.” I say as I fly towards the governor’s mansion.
When I reach the place I knock on the door and a maid welcomes me. After introducing myself again I ask for Jackelline or the governor. After a few minutes I am guided to his office where I see both of them.
Unlike Sophia’s office, this is a somewhat small room with only two desks and a table full of documents.
“Hello?” Jackelinne says while looking at me.
“Hello.” The governor says to me. He has short orange hair, black eyes, is using a black tuxedo and is a little overweight, or at least looks to be. I don’t get the feeling that he is out of shape.
“Hello, my name is Lucia, I am with Sophia and I would like to ask some questions.”
“Lucia!? What happened? I saw you only a month ago at max. How , when?” Jackelinne asks somewhat in panic.
“Let’s just say magic happened. Now for my questions. The people that were following all of you were caught?”
“One was.” The governor says to me.
“Can I have a word with him?”
“... I don’t see why not.” he says after pondering for a few seconds. He takes a piece of paper and writes something. “The jailhouse is the nearest big black building. Show it to the guard on the door and you will be able to enter.”
“Ok thanks.” I say as I begin to leave.
“Lucia, what is happening?” Jackelinne asks me.
“I have no idea. As far as I know, all of this shouldn’t be happening.”
After leaving I find a building made out of blackwood. After showing the paper to the guard he opens the door and I am guided to an underground jail.
There are at least 15 jail cells here, all of them in a single corridor with 7 on each side and a bigger one at the end. Most of the people here are just people who got too drunk, with the exception of the one the guard is guiding me towards.
As I approach the cell I begin to feel mana coming from the man there.
“HAHAHAHA, what do we have here?” A very skinny man, probably in his forties, black hair, green eyes. He is using prision hags.
“Why did you go after those people and why are golems attacking the city?”
“Lady, you should first introduce yourself.”
“... I am Lucia, I killed Gerius Mammon.”
“I am Spade and it looks like I will not be paid.”
“Care to explain all of this?”
“Depends on what is in it for me.”
“How about your life for starters.”
“You don’t have the authority to kill me here lady.”
“And?”
He realises that I am serious.
“Look, we were paid to scare the people here. I only am here because they needed a scapegoat. I never committed any serious crimes in my life. I stole here and there but that’s it.”
“And the golems?”
“Probably that weirdo that likes dolls is controlling them.”
“How many of you?”
“6.”
“Do you know where they are?”
“No idea.”
“... Any ideas on how to contact them?”
“Shout really loud.” He says sarcastically.
“That is only an option if I know who I am shouting to.”
“Too bad we don’t give a shit about each other or I would have asked their names.”
I stop for a minute to calm down a little and think. This man looks like he can leave this place but doesn’t. Must have a reason why.
“Why didn’t you try to leave?”
“What are you talking about? I got captured, I can’t do anything.” He is lying, he has a lot of mana, there is no way he doesn't know a single spell.
“I suggest you stop lying or I will get the truth out of you.” I say in a threatening tone
“Lying about what? I have no weapons, no armor, I am not strong, I can’t hurt anyone.”
“So you don’t know how to cast spells?”
“Of course not, I don’t have any mana.”
He is close to me so I try to stab him with Mira. he quickly backs away.
“Why did you do that?” he asks in anger.
“Liars deserve punishment.”
“I am not lying.”
“Then why am I feeling a lot of mana from you?”
“Oh… Erm...Fuck.”
“Guard, go fetch me the keys to this cell and a broom. I'm going to have some fun with this man’s ass.” I say in the most threatening tone I can.
Even the guard flinched with this one.
“Wait, wait, I will talk. Please.” The man in the cell says.
“Then talk!”
“There is a camp north of the city near a bunch of trees. It’s not really a forest but it’s big enough. They are all there waiting for the guards to drop their guard and run out of energy.”
“What can I expect?”
“A really big dude, professional assassins of the stealth kind and a kid who really likes dolls.”
“Ok, come here!” I say pointing to where I am.” Out of fear he comes.
I get his hand and try to absorb his mana just trought contact but the rate is abysmally low.
“If you try to flee I hope you know how to not exist anymore or I will do things to you no other human would be able to see and be sane again.”
“Yes ma’am!”
I leave the place and go back to the battlefield.
“Sophia!” I shout. She runs towards me after hearing it.
“What?”
“I need help with something, I found the enemy camp.”
“Ok, let’s get some people and get there.”
“I think it would be for the best if only the two of us went there.” I feel like they would just run away the second a group of people came marching there.
“Why?”
“I can only carry one person with me when flying without making her sick. But if you don’t want to go, just get someone strong enough to go instead of you.”
“No, I will go.”
“Already, hold tightly.”
I grab her and fly towards the camp. In more or less two minutes we pass through the camp. There are some trees in a cluster in the middle of the grassland. It’s probably enough to fill a small city park.
I drop in the middle of the camp along with Sophia.
“I killed your boss! Surrender and nobody dies.” I shout as I land. Sophia is a little surprised but is on her guard.
Around us there are 6 people. A big dude, more than 2 meters tall, black, with a black afro that makes his head twice his size. He is using clothes that peaceful monks would use in my old world.
Four people that might well be quadruplets. All using black bandages as clothes, covering everything besides their eyes. They all have some form of knife in their hands and are not that tall, around 165 cm each.
Lastly there is a girl, I can’t really tell her age as she is using a mask to cover her eyes. She is surrounded by all types of dolls that you could imagine in this world. Her clothes are that of a noble girl. It’s a really nice blue dress that could have been from queens in my old world in the 19th century. Just scaled down to her size, which is something around 150 cm.
“What are you talking about?” one of the bandaged people asks. This one sounds like a young man.
“Look, I killed that idiot in a golden armor. If you were going to get paid, that’s not going to happen anymore.”
“What?” Sophia asks.
“Just go with it.” I whisper to her.
They look at each other for a second waiting to see who will say something first.
“Then there is no money here?” The girl asks. Her voice is that of a broken person. Out of everyone here she is the most dangerous. Sophia also noted that. She suddenly was ready to battle that girl. She gives an ominous aura.
“Yeah, no money.” I shout.
She looks around for a second and points to one of the bandaged people.
“You are now Nathaniel. Kill those ladies that don’t want me to feed my babies..” She says.
“That’s not my name, and I will do no…” He tries to say when suddenly he jumps towards us.
By reflex, me and Sophia slash him, making him fall into 3 pieces and die instantly.
“Nathaniel was weak, he was not a good son. You Bernardo, go play house with the girls and be a good daddy!” She says while pointing to the big guy.
Again the person she pointed to suddenly lost any will it had and went straight to us.
With nothing making it stop we just slash him too. He falls to the ground in pieces and dies.
“Scram!” One of the bandaged people screams. All of them run away in different directions.
“Tea Time!” The girl says and all of them stop and walk towards her, sitting on the ground around her.
I think this doesn’t work on us or she would have used that on us.
“Kids these days, they can’t do anything themselves, can they?” She asks us as if it is the most normal thing to do.
“ “ Mira says to me. I turn around and slash someone. It’s the dude from the jail.
“HOW!?” He asks as he dies.
“A good friend told me.” I say.
Sophia looks in shock as even she didn’t manage to detect that man.
“Looks like papa is dead. Then you are not my sons anymore. Go play and don’t come back.” The girl says and 3 people around her just run towards us.
Me and Sophia can’t really do anything besides slash them. They soon fall to their deaths on the ground.
“I guess that is it ladies. I need to look for my husband now.” The girl says as she begins to pick the dolls.
“Stop right there, you are under arrest for the attack on Degrada.” Sophia shouts.
“What attack? Can’t you see I am a busy mother?”
“Stop with the games, if you could use that spell on us you would have already. Surrender and I promise no one gets hurt.”
The girl turns around and looks somewhat angry from what I can see.
“SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I NEED TO FIND MY HUSBAND! YOU GO PLAY WITH THE UGLY LADY!” She shouts at me and suddenly I am inside my head again.
“You people need to stop coming inside my head.” I say to the projection of the girl in front of me.
For me my head still is a black space, looks like for her is something else as she is looking around non-stop.
“What is this? Why is your mind like this?”She asks me in anger.
“Look girl, I can’t see anything. Also I suggest you just surrender or I will kill you here.”
“You can’t, I have to find my husband so we can bring our daughter here.”
“I hope you are not talking about my head.”
“No, NO, NO!” She shouts. “They took me away so they took him too, didn’t they? My daughter is still in my womb, if I can get pregnant with the same man she will come back to life, won't she?”
“I think I know what you are talking about but you should calm down. You are talking like a crazy person.”
“I’m not crazy, I am strong and because I am strong my kids listen to me.” She shouts in anger at me.
“I don’t think this will go anywhere, time to die. I hope you find a better life than this next time, if there is one.” I begin to imagine her being impaled by a sword but before the sword can actually pierce her she stops it.
“I am strong, I am not gonna die before I see my daughter.” She shouts at me, making both of us go back to the real world.
“Are you ok?” Sophia asks me as it looks like I lost my footing for a moment.
“She tried to mind control me.”
“So that’s what that was.”
“Dolls, go!” She says as a huge rune suddenly appears below her. Most of her dolls begin to fly towards and explode. I quickly put a heat barrier around me and Sophia.
Every time a doll explodes it just reappears a few meters away and flies again at us This continues for at least an hour.
We tried to tank the explosions, attack the dolls with spells before they explode, even just cut them but nothing stopped the assault, they were brutal. The girl used the opportunity to flee. I wonder how she could hide so much mana to use a spell like this.
After the barrage stopped I went flying around looking for her but I found nothing. It’s like she just vanished. She was probably someone reincarnated like me, but someone who didn’t take our situation too kindly or well.
“AH! Dammit! She fled!” Sophia shouted in rage.
“I wonder what kind of spell this was.”
“Not something you normally see, I can guarantee” She says a little more calmly.
“We should probably take a look around.”
“Yeah…”
After that we looked around what was left of the place, strangely enough most of it was intact.
We searched everything we could and found lots of letters, money, weapons, poisons, clothes and a dead horse half-buried in the bushes behind the camp.
I went back to Degrada and asked some people to come and help get everything. Everyone was a little on edge after me and Sophia told what happened so we decided to leave this matter for tomorrow. The governor and Jackelinne will come to Sagrada tomorrow with everything and we will go through all of it to see what we can find.
I fly back by myself as I still have something to do. I arrive in Sagrada as the night begins.
--//--
“Alright, I am only going to ask this once. I know that all of you know at least one thing that your former boss did before hiring any of you or while you worked for him. I don’t care if you took part of it, I don’t care. If you tell me now and it’s not something that deserves death I will look the other way.” I say to the four people I brought from the forest in the cell they are all sharing.
“We sold people to slavery in the Maka Kingdom.” Hil says.
“We also brought a village and made every woman service us, well, if they were single. I don’t know about our former boss.” Josh says.
“He also once said something about him having stolen a bank in the Maka Kingdom.” Hil adds.
“I don’t really care about the Maka Kingdom.”
“Then the only thing we did besides all of this here in Cruxadia was the fact that we pretty much stole a horse.” Josh says.
“I was hired just before we entered the forest.” Byrna says.
“Same for me. If I knew he was a scumbag I would have refused.” Tob says.
“You two, where is your home?” I ask Josh and Hil.
“Way south of the Maka Kingdom, pretty much an independent village. We can’t even decide on a name as there is no need for one yet.” Hil says.
“Ok...I will release all of you but be warned. If I ever find that any of you lied to me or that you are doing crime, death will be the better option.” I threaten them.
“Guard, release them.” I shout.
After that I go back to the mansion where Sophia soon arrives. Everyone gathers at the dinner table as I tell most of what happened.
After that I don’t really remember much of what happened, I probably just took a bath and went to bed.
