The guild was located at the centre of the town with its blazing logo. No one could miss the logo. Tsuoma and the Dragon Party entered into the guild seeing many people. “They are still here, I thought they went on a mission.“ Natael said pointing to a set of seven young men huddled together. “Hey, Natael, seems we finished earlier than you.“ One of the boys said upon seeing Natael and came to meet him. “Ooh, you brought guests, will they join your party to make it a complete party, i am sure you have bribed them to accept, knowing you have to have seven members inorder to go on D class missions like we do, you are on E class missions, why are you not satisfied, I assure you, D class missions are difficult, now you bring them to the guild to be registered. Am I right or right?“
Tsuoma looked at the party seeing them angry. He decided to check the status of the boys in the party.The name of the party was Salamander Party. The leader who was talking to Natael had just few things superior to Natael. But the shocking thing was that they were brothers.STATSName: Coron FeiryskySpecie: Human, Holy KnightRank: Level 60, D classHealth: 630/700Agility: 250/250Speed: 300/300Strength: 400/400Stamina: 350/350Mana: 1000/1200Magic Used: Summoning magic, fire magic, sword magic.Even as brothers they had different magic attributes.“Elder brother, you should be ashamed of yourself, anyway i shall be the heir of Feirysky house, mark my words, father hates having a weak son. We have the same fire magic but mine is….“So fast before he could blink, a punch had touched his face sending him moving back with speed smashing every desk he came across. “I thought I held back a bit but I must have overdone it.“ Tsuoma said as his hand brought out smoke. The entire guild stopped what they were doing as the spectacle before them was shocking. The members of the Salamander Party looked at their boss barely seeing him from all the debris all over him. One of them came to his senses and ran the long distance to get the groaning mass on the floor. He was disoriented as small birds flew over his head. “What the hell just happened?“ Karis Jamus, the sword mage asked in shock.“ “Sadeo sword technique, swordless.“ Karis was shocked. He used a sword skill. “We decided to follow him, we are not his party members, we only followed to find the guild and he is a great leader and fighter. Don't mock him, i will not have it.“ Tsuoma said angrily. “Let's be civil here, we might be berserkers, but we must abide by the rules.“ A female elf said coming in between Tsuoma and Coron. Tsuoma checked her stats.STATSName: Tiatha AudarkSpecie: Light ElfRank: Level 60, D classHealth: 700/700Agility: 300/300Speed: 400/400Strength: 600/600Stamina: 380/38Mana: 1500/1500Magic Used: Shapeshifting magic, healing magic, creation magic, lightning magic, possession magic.She was powerful, perhaps he could invite her into his party.Things were really getting interesting around here. He remembered he hadn't seen Teruki's stats and he decided to check but he was cut short as he felt a strong presence whose aura was domineering. Many of the parties in the guild including the Dragon Party were forced to their knees, infact all of them except Tsuoma and Teruki. A man came down from a staircase, black aura revolving around him, following him was a Kitsune with six tails. He wondered how a Kitsune could be in this world and also why wasn't she affected by the evil aura coming out of him and he checked their stats. He started with the fox woman.STATSName: Jiyoki KyrsakuSpecie: KitsuneRank: Level 90, Rank AHealth: 2000/2000Agility: 1000/1000Speed: 1500/1500Strength: 3000/3000Stamina: 800/800Mana: 3000/3000Magic Used: Shapeshifting magic, elemental bending.She was a little far ahead of him and she was strong enough to withstand the evil aura. But her mana wasn't as much as his. Then he checked the guild master's stats.STATSName: Armand AurenSpecie: VampireRank: Level 120, Rank SHealth: 5000/5000Agility: 3000/3000Speed: 2500/2500Strength: 4000/4000Stamina: 2000/2000Mana: 3500/3500Magic Used: Shapeshifting magic, dark magic, summoning magic, possession magic, necromancy, sword magic. Tsuoma eyes glowed in shock. So this was the strongest individual in the guild.He was higher than Tsuoma in everything. He wondered if the Kitsune was the second strongest. He would have to train harder to become the strongest. Then he remembered the goddess.“Hey goddess, are you still in my mind, you have been silent for a long time.“ “It's just that everything is boring, why don't they accept you already, i can't remain cramped as a soul in your body you know.“ The goddess replied bored. Tsuoma chuckled and looked at the guild master. He realized the menacing aura was gone and everyone looking at he and Teruki in shock. “Well, we survived his domineering aura.“ The Kitsune looked at Tsuoma and smirked. Her tails went back in. The guild master came to meet Tsuoma. “I haven't seen him get a good thrashing, though violence is not allowed in here, stranger.“ “He got on my nerves, am sorry, owner.“ Tsuoma said sarcastically.The guild master looked hard at Tsuoma who didn't feel intimidated. “Uhm, you look promising, my name is Armand Auren, I am a vampire and the owner of this guild which has thirty parties, with me is a Kitsune, her name is Jiyoki Kyrsaku. You must be new here, fine I will pardon the misconduct if you go and kill a basilisk, mind you it's a C level beast, but you should be able to defeat it right, Tsuoma.“ Tsuoma was shocked and quickly drew his sword. “How did you know my name?“ “Come on little one, I have the appraisal eyes but I can only see name and rank and you are rank b.“ Tsuoma grated his teeth angrily. “Anyway, since you have no party yet, you will be included in Dragons Party and Jiyoki will follow you there, she knows the location of the basilisk. For now go and settle down, you will return here by dawn tomorrow, I expect you will be ready.“ And just like that he was gone. Tsuoma looked away angrily and marched to the door. “I will kill him one day, he'd better watch his back, what are you looking at Teruki?“ ”Don't go berserk on me now Tsuoma.“ Teruki giggled as the both of them walked out of the guild. “So this is the Berserk Stronghold Guild. The boss sure looks like a berserker.“ Tsuoma said chuckling.Meanwhile in Straterfall kingdom. In a building recognised as a palace. The princess is seen seated on a throne with guards by her sides. “Damn that empress, after killing my father she thinks I will just give up. It means she doesn't know me yet. But still why did the summoning go wrong. Unknown to her, time had frozen and the goddess was looking at her. “My child, Emile.“ Princess Emile jerked in shock and finally looked at her surroundings. The goddess wanted to speak to her alone. “Speak, your servant listens.““The hero is alive and well, he is here in this world but far away from where you are. He is in Luby.“One of the cities of the evil empress. If she finds out..“ “Do not worry, I shall watch over him, and tell Agnolia about this.“ “Wait goddess.“ “It's ok Emile, she will find them.“ Them?“ The goddess faded away and everything returned to normal. “Guards, one of you should go and send for Agnolia the supreme mage. Tell her I seek her presence immediately, and also tell her it's a matter of emergency.“ “Yes princess, I go to deliver the message.“ One of the guards said and ran out of the palace. “It's time to get our hero, wait she said them, I wonder what's going on with the heroes. Please be safe “ A drop of water dripped on Tsuoma's new armour. “Damn, I just bought that.“ He groaned and the cave began to rumble. “Shit, I made a noise.“ More of the drops of water began to fall on the party. “This is not water, it's drool. Suddenly animal sounds were heard but abruptly they became quiet. Smashing sounds were heard alongside slithering noise.“The basilisk is coming, we must not let it see us.“ Tsuoma said looking around for somewhere to hide. “What do we do, it's gaze can turn us to stone, where can we hide.“ Jiyoki said and this got Tsuoma angry. “You are the most powerful among us, why don't you find a way uh.“ He said glaring at her. She glared back and Tsuoma looked away. “Fine, just ignore us, you blasted creature, I never liked your kind anyway.“He calmed himself. “Tsuoma..“ “Not now Sigrid.“He roved around his stats and chose Light Magic Spells. He chose a small spell which made them invisible, except the Kitsune. “Tsuoma, let her join us.“ Teruki said appealingly as the basilisk sound drew near. He sighed, he couldn't say no to Teruki. He pointed to Jiyoki and a white glow covered her rendering her invisible. The basilisk came and didn't see anyone, it growled angrily. Tsuoma checked it's stats.STATSName: BasiliskSpecie: three headed basiliskRank: Level 100, Rank SHealth: 3000/3000Agility: 2000/2000Speed: 1500/1500Strength: 4000/4000Stamina: 90/100Mana: 200/200Magic Used: death stareThe Basilisk may be strong but it's stamina was poor, if they could get it to use up its stamina, they stood a little chance as it wouldn't be able to see well. No, that was a problem, the strength could help it and he decided to go with his new spell, it took 20 from his strength and 30 from his stamina and 10 from his mana. “Light Magic. Judgement Blast.“ A massive beam of light appeared and blasted the basilisk, the blast continued, destroying everything in the cave as it began to crack. “Sasha.“ She ran to the basilisk which was already dead and conjured a sword which she used to slash off its head. She touched it and stored it with her magic. They ran out of the cave as it began to collapse. They were able to get out before it fully collapsed. “Woohoo that was a close one.“ Jiyoki said sighing.“You didn't even do anything you cunny vixen. She growled directly in his face, her eyes changing.“Can we not fight now please, we have gotten what we came here for, can we go.“ Teruki said as she stood between the two who were glaring daggers at each other.The remaining party members laughed loudly. They began to move back home when the place they were became dark. “No! The evil empress, it's her.“ Jiyoki said suddenly afraid as she shivered.The party members stood rooted on the spot as a black smoke came to them and from the smoke, a woman appeared with a crown on her head smiling at them evilly and menacingly. “Hello kids, you probably know me.”“Hello kids, you must have surely heard of me right. Hmm that scent, you two are not from this world aye, heroes.“ She said as she looked at Tsuoma and Teruki.Sigrid stirred up in Tsuoma's mind.“That is Urea, one of the most powerful demons, he is speaking through her, even I had a problem battling him during the war.““Hello humans, I see you were able to kill my basilisk. It's ok, I only wish to speak to him.“ She said pointing at Tsuoma. They all raised their weapons but they couldn't move. Time had stopped and only Tsuoma, Teruki and the Empress weren't affected. “Interesting, she is not affected, perchance she is connected to your life source, so killing you kills her. Interesting, I have learnt something important today. And now I will kill you even before your heroic adventure begins.“ She raised her hands and dark red energy be began forming and taking the shape of spears. “It's over. Crushing god spears. These technique was used to destroy the god's during the war, so lo
They looked at the city at their back surprised to see it obliterated. Smoke and debris could be seen everywhere. Buildings had crumbled and were black and charred. Tsuoma began to hear sounds.Crack! Cough!He heard a cracking sound and a feminine voice coughing. He went to the place and saw a girl in tears. A log of wood was on her leg and she was struggling with it. Tsuoma saw a dead boy near her. He was burnt to a crisp and he was clutching a bit of the girl's clothing. He had protected her. The girl began to wail and the rest of the team ran to where they were, Teruki gagged and vomited. She touched the girl and saw everything that happened to her and she also began to feel the girl's pain. Tsuoma patted Teruki who was weeping. He touched the girl and a white magic circle appeared above her and a green light overshadowed her. Her wounds began to heal and color began to return to her cheeks. He raised her up and saw she was a little girl. “How old are you my dear?“ He asked in a
After the fight which was decided as a stalemate. Tsuoma was given the right to form his own party. But until he finds all the members, he would have to work with Natael's party. He accepted this offer and he, Teruki, Agnolia joined the party. The princess and the holy knight moved around the city in disguises. The princess was worried about how the people were being treated, most of the halflings were treated unfairly and even the Holy Knights were butchered.Emile came across a young woman of probably seventeen years old who was wearing an hoodie to cover her face, she stole a loaf of bread and ran, the owner of the stall saw her.“Hey, get back here, you thieving pest. Guards, get that bastard.“The young lady was pursued hotly by the guards, a spear was thrown at her legs but she kept on running. “Hey Airen, let's follow that girl.“The holy knight looked around and followed the princess. The girl ran into a closed up area and the men rounded up to her. One of them grinned evilly.
They were called “The Striking Vipers.” They were regarded as the strongest party because the members were all over powerful.Tsuoma Sadeo was the leader and Teruki was the assistant.The members of the party were, Tsuoma, Teruki, Agnolia, Tiatha, Sigrid, Jikoki and Ashrua. The party had a guardian, the supreme mage, the strongest swordsman, an empath, a goddess, an elf and a kitsune. None in the guild wanted to meddle in their affairs. The Dragon Party were the only ones who could be with them and Tsuoma had gotten them a new member or members, the sisters of Ashrua, Kuri and Haemta. Though younger and less powerful than their elder brother, they were more than enough to take down great monsters on their own. The duo used Lightning and Water spirits for their attack and defense. Though limited to one spirit, they were still very powerful to defeat monsters. And when they combined as one entity, their powers skyrocket and they are called Guardian Primus.THE GUARDIANS! The Gu
The environment is cloudy as little drops of rain splattered down, making splattering noises on the rooftops of houses around. A boy holding a sword in it's sheath is seen running and smiling under the rain.Darkness smiled on the earth and the environment is saved from the piercing darkness with translucent illuminated neon light bulbs. Different scents wafted through his nostrils. He smiled in satisfaction as he ran. He saw people open up their shops.He passed a woman selling various weapons and equipments. He always fancied a golden sword sheath with dragon design. It was four thousand yen and he had been saving up his feeding allowance to buy the sword sheath. He had three thousand yen and he hoped to get the remaining from his father. His father owned a dojo where he trained young boys in his Sadeo sword technique. There were many dojos in that city and they all had different sword techniques. Most times, competitions were held to determine the best dojo in Japan.He got home an
The knight and the princess gets to a cave to catch their breaths. Do you think she would be able to hold them off? The knight asked in concern. The princess smiled. Don't worry, its Agnolia the strongest Mage we are talking about here, she would handle them just fine like fodder. Anyway guide the entrance as I prepare to summon him. Yes milady, but i have a question, why can't lady Agnolia summon the hero. Well, she might be the most powerful mage but she needs to be connected to royalty in order to cast the other worldly spell. She can do it but the goddess said she was destined to protect me from anyone who might want to stop the summoning and also she has dark powers which might corrupt the summoned. I hope she comes soon, i feel like all my powers would go away.The knight went outside and patrolled the area holding his sword tightly while observing the princess.She drew a magic circle with a triangle inside and she took her dagger and cut her hand sending blood to the circle.
The lead boy who presumably killed the beast finally looked around and saw the duo. “We didn't catch your kill did we, though it looked like you were hesitant to kill the Elehorse. Oh by the way my name is Natael, head of the Dragon Party, we are an adventurous group. I will tell you about the others later but for now we have to get out of here before more of them come. Sasha, care to help with the beast. He said to a gi0rl who looked like she hated what she was doing.” “Aye, what a bother.” She walked to the beast and touched it, a blue magic circle appeared over the beast and sucked it inside. “Now let's get out of here.” The seven of them ran up to a cliff and hid behind it as they heard groaning sounds. Another member of the party conjured a tent to block the sun. “We can stay here for a while until the Elehorses finish their parade. It would be a terror if we are ambushed by them. But before that I would like us to introduce ourselves. As you know already, my name is Natael Fe
The Dragon party got to the boy's house. They saw a dilapidated and old building which was looking strained. The outside was overgrown with weeds and thorns. The house was loosing it's paint. The inside was no better as cobwebs filled the house.The party were shocked at the structure of the building.They were led to a room where a woman is laid on a bed and shivering despite having thick wrappers on her.Tsuoma's appraisal eyes opened and he saw the woman had a curse on her. A high level curse which had merged with her and was draining her life force.His eyes scanned around. “Damn, a demon is the cause of this, he is still here.“ Tsuoma looked around and saw a giant spider bigger than a tarantula lurking above Natael. “Natael, above you, a giant Drake Gustof.“ His eyes had shown him the specie of the spider which wasn't on Earth. He knew the spider was dangerous as all of the members of the party brought out very dangerous weapons, even Miles was on an edge. Tsuoma wondered what
