Vol.4 Chapter 4 - Might of Poseidon

Part 1 – The Meeting

I, my two companions and a number of other people including players have gathered around to discuss that plan in steal that ship to avoid the worse case scenario. All people including the lowest scum on the streets and the highest noble gathered in the church where everything for tomorrow was discussed.

“The count have rejected all kinds of pleas from the other nobles to use his ship. He seems to be very pleased in knowing that we cannot do anything but rely on him now that he destroyed all methods of transportation to Morata. The small fisherman boats cannot go as far as we need so we have to either build a ship fit enough for long open sea trips or steal this one big ship from the man that caused this problem in the first place” said a noble.

Like everyone here, he too had a cloak on but people pretty much know who is who but this is for any spies that would want to accuse us to the King of what we done.

“The count is one that got to his position with lies and money. He pays us quite well to know some 'secrets' that some people 'may' have. However when he endangers everyone due to his short-sightedness, we will be prepared to take him out of the picture permanently.” said one of the thieves in the town. He almost spat when he said the word 'count'.

One of the maids that had the job of serving the count also came to this meeting.

“The count, as you all know by now is a greedy pig that wastes no time to eat and make life harder for everyone else. His father was a good man so we all expected more from him but he still ended up like this. The count should be in 'his' mansion that actually belongs to the King and other nobles when they have no other place to stay. He had long marked that place as his and many many people quit their jobs. I and many others quit yesterday when he destroyed the hard work of so many. His daily schedule is to wake up, eat, take a bath, eat, laze around somewhere, eat, eat dinner, take another bath, eat and fall asleep with food near him when he's hungry in the night.”

Every was shocked at the lazy and profoundly disgusting lifestyle of the count. Well almost everyone. Those who were 'close' to him already knew and thus accepted the report. The discussion continued as more and more people explained how they were related to the count and what ways would be good to get rid of him.

Several times poison was suggested and it was not the peaceful death kind, it was the I want him to suffer first one. Other suggestions included various types of torture but everyone agreed that even though they wanted to go with that plan it would take to long.

“I believe we should first decide who will go steal the ship first. That is I believe the primary task at hand, “said the high priest of Poseidon silencing everyone else, “Dealing with the count comes after we ensure that we all don't die first. The foreigners will not do as their ability to leave something in tact is only suppressed by their ability to destroy everything they touch. Also we need to set sail by the next morning and I doubt many foreigners know how to sail such a large vessel. Naturally some sailors may help with the ship stealing but it is best to use the more experienced people for sailing the ship, known as the crew of the vessel. Capture and convince them to cooperate else, they are of no use for us. We need some assassins and thieves for this task that can stun not kill the crew and guards. They are of this city as well. The mission will be split into two. One group will help with the ship stealing while the other will silence the count one way or another.”

The high priest pointed to guide the various players that are of that class to the man that will give them their quest. The man was one of the thieves from the street. There was a dozen men and women ready for the task.

“Next we need archers and rangers to help with the surveillance of the area. We need to keep a look out for the ship and the count at the same time. I believe this church may help to viewing both but it is best to have several vantage points just in case.”

The high priest once again pointed the players to another man that appeared to be a hunter of some sort.

“Finally we may need the help of the powerhouse foreigners will exceptional ability to make havoc. This group shall be the ones that have the most power. Warriors and Mages will be of the best help here but other classes that want to join are free to do so. Priests and Clerics will be added in later as well. This man for the healers and the rest are to come to me. Now get yourselves ordered!” commanded the High priest.

I find it exceptional that this old man managed to convinced or rather force everyone to follow his lead. His gaze easily defeated those who wanted to take the show into their own hands.

Anyway I walked to the line where players got their own quest from the high priest behind Alexandra and in front of Viv.

When it as Alexandra's turn the high priest made some conversation with her.

“Well, I am glade that you can join us today Alexandra. I hope that you can restrain yourself before blowing away the enemies you see. We want to keep this was quiet as possible. Opposing a count is no funny business. And I believe the two behind you are your companions. Eden and Viv I believe. There has been many talks about you two recently.” he said with amusement.

“Wh-what kind of talk?” I asked timidly.

This better not be because of those things Alexandra did to me. Were there some rumours about me or something?

“Well Viv here made a contract with the God of the Forest which isn't one easy feat I imagine and you....well did what you are fated to do. I do hope that it doesn't come to that.” muttered the high priest under his mouth.

The high priest hesitated in talking about the God Slaying activity I had recently thanks to llyfr. Well any church wouldn't want to let others know that there are beings that can slay a God at any time they want near them, even if its an Evil God.

“Well then for your quest.....I believe Alexandra is not suited for ship stealing since she may destroy the ship.....I let you deal with the count while the other two who I believe can control themselves may help with the ship stealing, agree?”

I didn't notice that I was smiling at the insults that the high priest slipped into his words until I found Alexandra was glaring at me with the intent of silencing me instead of the count.

Damn, I feel that Alexandra will force me into another set of dresses thanks to this.

Help Steal the Count's Ship

The count has destroyed all other ships that are capable in brining the tribute to the Sea God Poseidon. As such the city of Loviern has no choice but to steal the very ship that caused this in the first place. The high priest of the Church of Poseidon has issued this tasked to the few that are trustworthy in completing this task. However the high Priest do not want to kill the crew members that board the ship as well as the guards.

You have accepted the quest

Part 2 – Ship Stealing

“So what is the layout of the inside of the ship?” I asked the team captain.

The captain looked at me suspiciously since I was assigned under the 'if everything else goes wrong' team. I was also placed under the 'Don't let them out to fight until the last moment' part of the team as well with Viv.

It was no wonder that the captain guy didn't want me to know much since I may take action without his permission.

“Its your standard large battleship design. It has 4 floors in total under the deck. All of them the same except for one floor which is used as the living quarter of the crew. The 3 floors that are used for weaponry, namely the cannons are pretty standard and namely carry the cannons and the gunpowder on the same floor. Near the back of the ship on the top deck, is where the captain of the ship and guest stay as with the chef as well. This is a battleship so it is made more suited to battle to transport people here and there. Do you have anything else to add? Oh, the first team is near the ship now.” said the Capitan of the team before starting to issue several orders to various teams at once.

Oh....so its kinda simple then. Take out all the guards quickly without anyone knowing.

For this operation, there are 5 teams in total.

The first was the stealth team that had the job of dealing with the main part of the quest. They are the agility based classes and all of them has the stealth skill and or other skills that could help them.

The second team was the command team that were made up of one member of each party to communicate with everyone else. In other words, the captains and commanders there are around ordering everyone else.

The third team was the surveillance team which was made of the archer and ranger type classes. They were set around the tall buildings and spied on the ship and occasionally sniping some of the guards to help the first team.

The fourth was the healing team that stood on standby and were pretty spread out though they had the most critical role if things went wrong.

The final team which I belonged to was the assault them which to the hopes of many would stay on standby for the while operation. We were pretty much the very large group that makes a scene if we even try to sneak around.

“Body Transformation: Eyes of the Condemn activate.”

Body Transformation: Eyes of the Condemned is now active

You will gain the following Bluffs while this is active:

- Seeing Distance will increase by 15%

- Able to see more clearly at night

- Blindness effect will be less effective

- To a certain extent, you will be able to see the souls of others

- Eyes will Glow in the Dark

WARNING: Normal NPCs will believe you are a Demon when they see your eyes

I could feel that my eyes were changing and that the night was becoming clearer than before in both brightness and detail. I looked to see the 'souls' of my comrades in this quest as well as the souls of the crew as well though a bit blurred.

Naturally I haven't even mastered this skill so sometimes what I can see change a bit. Its like tuning a radio to the proper station, it takes trial and error.

Anyway it was night and we, the assault team was stationed near the giant ship we were suppose to steal.

We were close enough to go into battle after the mages and priest do their jobs but far away enough and spread enough that people wouldn't suspect a thing though I believe at least of the city know about this operation and are of full support of it.

However the problem remains of what will happen after the quest. Opposing a count is something no one wants to be seen as. Well....almost no one.

“Eden.....what do you see?” asked Viv who was next to me. He noticed that I activated my skill almost immediately and there are some others that feel uncomfortable with my eyes glowing.

Well I can't blame them, people don't like what they don't know or understand. For as far as they know, I could be some sort of demon that was tricking them.

Ignoring the stares and focusing on the ship, I scanned the place before reporting to Viv.

“Well the plan is going well so far. Most of the guards that were awake are knocked out save the few that had to be killed and they are half way done now. Though there are a lot of guards on standby near the docks.” I said observing the guards that seemed to be not in the slightest normal at all judging by the look of their souls.

Perhaps they are a bit corrupt as in, they take bribes and such often. Don't like those kinds of people, they can't see the big pictures until its pushed onto them.

I hope everything goes to plan this time round.....

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Well that was quick.

I quickly turned my head like everyone elses to the source of the sound which was like everyone suspected. the mansion the count was staying at. Judging by the sheer destructive force of the attack, it was Alexandra who did this.

Well this can't be helped considering her personality and her abilities. Have to finish things up quickly here as well....it was going so well until....her.

I sighed and looked back at the guards that were stationed at the docks. They were not running to the mansion....they were going to the docks.

“Oi Captain, men to the ship” I said quickly to the captain whom was still staring at the mansion.

Turning around and noticing what was going on, sent a massive amount of orders to everyone to start plan B. Plan A was everything to go right. Plan B was everything that was to go wrong.

A second after the first order was sent, the mages were already starting their chant for their magic and the priests were bluffing everyone else.

“Viv can you block the way to the ship? We just need a big wall.” I asked but Viv was already chanting the spell to do that.

“O forest, O calm forest. Your seeds have flown countless lands, countless seas and have spread to the four corners of this world. Light and water gives life to your children and I ask that you allow the birth of a forest that would protect the innocent. Wall of Roots!”

From my eyes I saw that the mana Viv used to cast the spell was sent into the ground and moved quickly to where the ship was. Roots suddenly popped up out of the sea and made a semi-circle around the side of the ship that was facing the shore and thus blocking the path to the ship and preventing any more people to get on.

“Marking!”

Soon enough a red outline appeared on a man that was one of the guards. After Viv casted the Wall of Roots spell, I ran over to the battle where we were quite outnumbered. There were more than 100 guards around this area.

Quest has been updated

I quickly checked the quest log to see that the quest updated itself to tell me that there were at least 300 armed guards that were all powerful defending the ship which included mages, priests and archers among the common soldier.

How....where the hell did these guys come from?!

I swore before reaching the edge of the battlefield. We were.....well not looking good. A small team of 10 were in the ship dealing with the commotion there and the rest of us, no more than 30 were dealing with 10 times our numbers.

By the time I got near the large group of guards, a couple of players already died from the sheer number of attacks they were faced with.

“Burst Strike!”

I ran to one of the guards that were not looking and marked in red and stabbed him in the side killing him.

Marking Bluff is in affect for 15 minutes

Very quickly did the others around me realised that I was an enemy and started swing at me.

“Dance of Water!”

Dance of Water is Active

My body moved by itself as I narrowly dodged several attacks and managed to slice the leg of one of the guards. I sensed danger from behind and ran away from the many guards that were intent of killing me now.

A second later several fireballs and ice bolts flew and blasted them away. It seems there are some high levelled mages which was of great help. More and more of the guards were appearing red to me which helped me greatly in not attacking my allies though that can't be said the same for these very same allies.....they attacked me several times by accident though I managed to dodge them all thanks to my Dance of Water.

“Burst Strike”

“Burst Strike”

“Burst Strike”

I managed to impale a couple of guards and pushed them away using burst strikes to accelerate my sword into them more and more until they came off my sword.

Another axe came down and I kicked the guy causing him to fall over another guard. I cut another guard in the chest area before running around dodging all the attacks thrown at me.

Gradually we were winning due to quality over quantity. The number of enemies decreased to around 200 however there were some casualties on our side as well.

HIT

HIT

HIT

I checked my mana and it was under 10000 now. Didn't help that my Dance of Water was almost literally killing me as well as keeping me alive right now.

[Eden get out of the crowd! At this rate you can't last and you can't use magic!]

I'm sorry but I'm surrounded as you can see! No matter which way I go I'll still be surrounded by tens of men at once.

I used my arms to block a couple of sword hits leaving my arms numb and weaker than before. Before those guards near me could take advantage of this, I leaped and kicked one in the balls before rolling away to safety.

[In that case use the 'Heaven and Earth Separation' skill]

Are you crazy?! I have no idea what kind of skill it is and if it goes wrong then I'm dead.

I remembered the various times I experimented with magic and got blown up thanks to something going wrong.

[Well you're dead either way so go out in a bang! Normally I would advise you to not rush into such a situation but you're stuck and I can't seem to unlock the first and second seal on you as well]

That is not the way I want to go! Damn, have to at this point. We're losing here and its thanks to a trigger happy beast!

My body quickly reacted to several attacks including one that was aimed at my foot which I dodged but it broke the sword and pieces of it pierced my leg as a result. After that more and more attacks got in.

Damn I have to use it then. Its better than Alexandra complaining that it was my fault the quest failed!

I carefully aimed at the opposite direction from the ship just in case and shouted, “Heaven and Earth Separation!”

For reasons unknown to me, I was facing in the direction of the mansion which was totally unintentional.

Light gathered quickly around my sword. I could feel a massive presence coming out of my sword at the same time.

Please don't let this blow up in my face!

My body was forced out of the Dance of Water state and all enemies were pushed back away from me. The sword forced my body into a swinging stance and I swung the glowing sword.

Damnit! This sword is controlling my body!

Something that felt like the ripping of space occurred during and after the swing. There was no visual effect of the attack though everyone could see the actual effect of the attack....all of the buildings and anything else in the way was cleanly cut or rather disappeared and...so was half the mansion where the count was.

Mind you that the mansion was on the other side of the city....

Heaven and Earth Separation is on cool down. 24 days until you can use this skill again

You have killed the Count of the Kingdom of Clearwater. Due to this act, you gain 5326 Infamy

Any Fame that would have been gained due to this act is negated by the will of Gods

You have killed a massive amount of people at once. Due to this, you have gained 1942 Infamy

You have caused massive damage to the City of Loviern. Infamy increased by 513.

Domination increased by 23

Fighting Spirit increased by 12

Strength increased by 5

Agility increased by 10

“...”

“...”

“...”

Everyone was silent.

I was silent.

Even llyfr was silent.

“Wow....as expected from a divine sword.....” I said under the corner of my mouth.

“We surrender” said one of the guards near me dropping his sword. The other guards looked at each other and soon drop their weapons on the ground as well.

Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang  

Then they lined up and placed their hands up waiting for judgement.

Quest “Steal the Ship has been completed”

Collect Reward from High Priest

That was kinda anti-climatic.....

Part 3 – To Kill a God

“So what exactly is the tribute for Poseidon?” I asked the high priest while we were waiting to arrive to the set location where the tribute must be payed.

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Right now we were on the ship that we stole from the count...not that he needs it now since I accidentally killed him and half of the other team in one go....my Infamy is at 7881 now.....I hope there isn't an actual bounty on me now....

“Well.....its a secret so someone doesn't sabotage it so I can't tell you....Eden, I'm counting on you if something goes wrong” the high priest laid his hands on my shoulder and had his head down. I believe he heard and saw what I did during the quest.

“High Priest, you do know that the Skill  used won't be available for another 6 days, not 5 days now right?” I said nonchalantly.

I thought I saw a drop of cold sweat go down the high priest's face.

“Eh? So you can't help us if Poseidon.....aren't you a Destroyer? I thought that attack was one of your signature killing moves or something?!” he said waving his hands around.

Why does this person know I'm a destroyer? I'm pretty sure that not many people are suppose to know.....

Also....its not like I'm always that powerful....

I started to explain to the high priest why his back up plan of using me wouldn't work, “I'm a mage but my magic is sealed so I have to rely on other skills and that happened to be one thanks to this sword.”

I held the Divine sword that was currently in its scabbard.

One of the minor features of the Divine sword was that it could materialise the scabbard over it when not in use. The design of the scabbard was kinda weird and it has this weird eye in the middle of it but other than that, it was perfectly normal.

“So....if it goes wrong then.....” the high priest muttered.

“High Priest we have reached the location!” shouted one of the navigators.

“Damn....Prepare the tribute!” he shouted back.

The crew and several players started lifting these big crates from below the deck and placed them in one location.

“Now Chant the summoning ritual!”

Wait you SUMMON the God?! You SUMMON it?! No wonder the God seems pissed when every week someone has to call it into this world. Damn isn't it better to NOT summon it.

I tried to stop them but it seems the summoning already finished in a few seconds. How the hell is a God Summoning so quick?!

[I am here. I the Sea God Poseidon am here. Is the tribute ready?]

A large amount of water from the sea moved and formed into a giant ball of water that was floating in the air. Was this the true form of Poseidon? No.....it just looks like a cheap way to communicate with its followers.

This is really bad! I can just feel it in my bones that this is really really bad....for me that is.

“Yes! We have prepared 6 crates of what you desire....” said the High Priest.

I looked at the high priest hoping that he knew what he was doing.

[Only 6?]

“Well.....it has been more difficult in gathering the items and frankly many refuse to associate with is now as well....”

Item....?

[I can't believe it....I have asked you to get at least 10 crates every week!]

“But my lord....that is a city's worth every week. All of the women have left the church for other....”

So that's why there wasn't any women in the church.

[I don't care. GIVE ME PANTIES!!!!]

“...”

“...”

“...”

Great....we have another pervert here.

Everyone except for the high priest and the other members of the church of Poseidon was speechless. For a God to be reduced to this level....

“My lord, we will give you the rest of the panties next week so....”

[You will now face my wrath!]

The waves at sea suddenly became more violent and the sky was becoming darker. There was no way to escape the power of a Sea God here and it'll take a day to get back to shore and by then we will all be dead or worse.

“Hey...Alexandra, what the hell are we going to do now?” I asked with no more hope at all.

Alexandra stood there still shocked and said, “Give it our panties?”

Well that didn't go well. It seems the shock cut off the little common sense Alexandra had.

“What about you Viv?”

Viv was shaking violently.

“Its t-t-t-to strong.....so this is a high R-ranked G-God.....”

He was shivering.....so was everyone else....but I wasn't. Why?

[Tidal Wave]

No time to think here!

On the left side of the ship water gathered and became one giant wave. I looked to the right to see that it was same there. We're all going to die....

CRASH SPASH

Water is......I'm drowning....the ship was destroyed.....

The message that appeared after a while was one that took a while to come back.

“....”

“....”

“What the hell is this?”

[You never checked them at all?]

“No, and why the hell are you talkative again? You've been out for a while now only popping up for a sentence or two every other day.”

[I was trying to remove that seal that's on you but its stronger than I thought. After a while I gave up on it since you'll break if I used enough power to the seal and was researching on ways to temporary remove the seal one way or another]

“So...what did you find?”

[You can use the mana fragments to amplify yourself and remove your limitations. This will also allow you to use all of your sealed skills and the ones that you couldn't use as well. But your body will break and you will die if you sustain it for long. First, take out a mana fragment]

I opened my inventory and took out the mana fragment that was taken from Aien the White Butterfly after I died by Alexandra and Viv.

[Now......make it react or something. I have no idea how to explain the method in using it.....I think you should think of unlocking the seals or something like that]

I thought of it for a couple of minutes and noting happened.

“Umm......nothing is happening.”

[Well you better hurry up since Poseidon is coming. I'm going to let you handle him while I try to help you from inside]

“Wait, what?”

[I sense the presence of one that I have cursed before!]

I held the mana fragment tight in my hands and wanted to release the seal on me. Come on.....unseal....unseal....unseal.....unseal....UNSEAL ALREADY!!!

The mana fragment in my hand reacted to my call and it shone brightly as its light covered me.

Seal on Magic has been released temporary with the power of a mana fragment

Through the Power of the Mana Fragments, all Restrictions on the usage of Skills will be lifted

“Ha....ha.....ha...good...now to deal with this thing....”

As I was talking to myself into fighting a God while was clearly an insane thing to do in the first place, that said God was gathering a massive amount of water and was planning to strike me with it.

“Umm....why do I think I have a feeling that I'll die again?”

[Eden shut up and activate Magic King Mode!]

“Ri-right...”

Power swelled in me and I chanted the words that would bring me victory.

[I to awaken am the Tyrant whom stole the throne of God]

I felt something inside of me was opening or breaking down.

What the....these voices again?

[I devour the wisdom and rip apart the Knowledge]

Power surge in me. Gathering to be let out at once.

I have no comment on this.

[I will become the Magic King that rules over all Creation]

Finally the power in me was ready to come out.

And I have to deal with this as well....

[And I will show you true Despair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Gauntlets of a Tyrant that once rebelled against the Gods. Its power over time has waned and it is only a shell of its former self. However its still one of the most powerful things in the world being made from a substance stronger than the legendary Helium and possesses unknown powers.

Options:

- Drains Mana when worn

- All Stats increases by 5%

- Less chance of being Critical hit.

- Able to parry using gloves

- Increases Weapon Speed in exchange for Mana

Nope....nothing changed.....well the skill is still only beginner level 3.

[Mortal Die!]

The massive amount of water it was gathering was shot forward as a tsunami that was easily twice or triple the height of the tallest ones back in the real world.....and it was definitely wider as well. From the left to right I saw nothing but the tsunami.

Rattle....

Hmm? I looked at the source of the rattling to find that the Divine Sword was unsheathed and absorbing my aura at an alarming rate.

“This is....”

Divine Sword Kotoko has finished charging. 'Heaven and Earth Split' can now be used

“You got to be joking.”

To think I would have to use this....for a second time in one city.....I do hope I don't get THAT much Infamy this time....

I looked at the oncoming tsunami to see that I really have no choice here.

“Heaven and Earth Split!”

The aura that was transferred into the blade was causing it to shine like before. I made a stance to swing horizontally and waited for the skill to charge up and in one go swung at the tsunami.

Fuuuuuush

You have destroyed most of the City of Lovreign. Infamy is increased by 10643

You have stopped the wraith of the Sea God Poseidon. Fame gain has been negated

Great......really?

“......did it end?”

[For a mere Mortal to....wait, you're that....well then, I'll take my leave Destroyer]

It Poseidon just....leave after all the destruction it did?......I don't get Gods......also is that a ship I see?

“Magic King Drive Deactivate. First and Second Seal Activate.”

Magic King Drive has been Deactivate

First Seal has been Activated

Second Seal has been Activated

I put away the Mana Fragment and ran to where the ship was.

Seal on Magic has activated

While I was running I had to put up with several things. The first was the sudden lose in strength in my body which did not help me with running in the knee deep water.

The other thing was the fact that my body was burning hot with several seals being activate at once.

A while back Warlic placed three seals on me. The first and second seal still work, but the third seal, the most powerful one was broken during when llyfr used my body fighting a God which unlocked several things that was not there when the seal was there.

Namely my 'Magic King Drive' and the 'Body Transformation' were the two things that I've gained from the Third Seal partly Breaking. However I have another seal that originally broke any connection with my use of magic and my connection to llyfr which sealed almost all of my seals. Long story short, my connection to llyfr was restored but my magic was still sealed.

Eventually I got to the where the dock was before....kind of.....well close enough that I don't have to swim to move. The ship just arrived and the crew of the ship was nice enough not to avoid this place which was flooded and partly destroyed.

“Ahoy there! What in Poseidon name has happened to this place?” shouted the captain of the ship.

You should really ask Poseidon that since he's the main cause of all of this to begin with...well I was partly to blame as well but I rather not say it.

With a deep breath I shouted back, “Long Story. You mind waiting for a couple of days for the others to respawn?”
