……………………..Back to the trio in Avua, they seem to be in a carriage leaving the village. They made their Mercenary group and got some of the ‘helper’ to join them so their number reached 10. But now they’re 4 in the carriage travelling north, with Aella’s influence they landed a job. The carriage was provided by the employer so it’s a normal carriage covered by a mast. Flint is watching outside and Aku is dozing off, Chuck is looking at their new helper.[INFORMATION MAGIC DISPLAYName: Ceketo (CK-2)Race: ---Title: Mercenary SamuraiLevel: 80 (Lord/Initial demi-god)Stats:- HP: 200,000- EP: 470,000- SP: ----SoP: ---Physical Stats:- Strength: 21,000- Endurance: 180,000- Agility: 72,000- Intelligence: 10,000- Wisdom: 41,000Components:- Sword Techniques (Level: 6) > WAY OF THE SAMURAI- Energy Manipulation (Level: 5) > Anti-Energy Core- Rune Craft (Level: 8) > Fire, Earth, Void,- Chef (Level: 6.

“There’s one more thing.” The goddess speaks. Thorn looks at her clearly interested. The goddess continues. “If we unite our powers, we can win. Though you’re powerful, our attacks clearly had some effect on you.”“But how?” the shadow god speaks, “Even with our combined attacks the result is the same…..unless….we fuse our powers.” The gods are even shocked by his statement but it is their only option.The fire god speaks, “Then I will receive our powers and defeat this fiend.” The gods agree, Thorn finds this interesting so he’s watching eating a fruit.The gods channel all their power into the god of fire, his level remains the same but his stats clearly rise above that of a primordial god trespassing into the territory or Rulers. The fire god is enshrouded by energy releasing wave after wave of heat and energy.Thorn looks at this with interest in thought, “I’ll have to record this and send it to Master or her kin later.” He opens his hand and an obsidian in the form of a sphere dr
The figures take of their cloaks and it vanishes, they exert their pressure as primordial and ancient gods. Some have lightening around them, fire, water, shaking air, and many others but they’re are powerful.Fire god with a big beard grin, “How about you surrender, you’re outnumbered.”Thorn folds his arms and holds his chin in thought, “It appears they arrived as soon as my household left. I wonder what tune they’d be singing if they saw them.”Thunder god bellows, “And outmatched!” Thunders across the sky.Thorn looks at him with an exasperated face, “For real.” His eyes glows in thought, “The strongest amongst you is level 196, my level is twice that. Well it can’t be helped.” Then he speaks, “Deities’ power often get to their heads in a couple years.”Goddess of wind raises her hand, “If you’re not going to surrender quietly then DIE!” she swings her hand as a tornado is made and falls on Thorn.Thorn appraises himself.[INFORMATION MAGIC DISPLAY LEVEL 9Name: Thorn KailaniRace
………………………..In the divine realm, the Valkyries, Divine guards and Holy knights are assembled before a pantheon of gods. This pantheon is ruled by gods who dress as nomadic warriors with males mostly bare-chested. The gods are making an announcement to their army on the start of a new war.Far away from this place, on a small floating island covered by clouds. Anna is watching, she’s spying on this pantheon hoping to gain information on the war. The Chief god of the pantheon steps up, “The Demon realm has declared war on us.” He said, “And so we will respond in kind.”Anna watches from afar, “So, war is upon us. It looks like all the pantheons will join the war this time, Master moved the entire demon realm just for this war.” She sighs.Anna keeps observing this pantheon. After what seems like an hour, Anna spreads her wings and flies back to her pantheon. She arrives in the Valkyrie spire, she notices war preparations also going on. There seems to be some gods present but mostly demi
Thorn arrives in his cave and closes the door behind him, a figure like the grimm reaper arrives behind him. The figure is human but has parts of its flesh missing as gold flames comes from the missing parts. This figure is Sers’ true form.Sers lands behind Thorn, “Why did you reveal so much to him?”Thorn glances behind him, “Was it wrong to do so? The kid has to know why he got your attention.”Sers sighs, “It’s not wrong, we just didn’t know how to reveal it to him. As for why he got our attention….Hmmm, think Twenny should tell him.” Sers moves towards a refrigerator in the corner.Thorn shrugs, “Pushing responsibility around, so Xeno like.” He notices Sers reaching for a beer, a chill goes down his spine and he snatches the beer from Sers.Sers is taken aback, “Hey, What’s the big idea?”Thorn puts the beer back in the fridge and gives him juice, “No alcohol for you unless your siblings are here to restrain you.” Sers feels hurt and Thorn continues, “The last time Master got dru
Flint hovers above the ground as he glares at Thorn, Thorn grins and gives him the ‘come on’ wave. Flint taps his feet off the ground vanishing from sight like a blur, Thorn raises his hand up. *CLANG* Flint swung his sword down and Thorn blocked it, Thorn twists and kicks Flint’s stomach. *CRACK* Flint is blown away. Thorn’s eyes open wide as his thoughts, “I didn’t kill him, right? I held back a lot.” Flint smashes into a tree, he slowly gets up as his HP recovers. Thorn grins, “The Master really made a splendid bloodline, sadly it can’t be compared to hers.” Thorn makes a blood barrier as a beam of light hits it, “A fake bloodline is this powerful? No wonder Master could never beat the Messengers of Light.” The blood barrier turns light and disintegrates. Flint taps his feet on the ground and appears before Thorn, Thorn makes a sword and fights back. *CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG* Flint swings his sword right next to Thorn’s neck as he moves back a bit and dodges. Thorn points his hand
A week passes as Flint keeps training and comprehending the law of space, Flint is on the training grounds practicing. Flint swings his sword as space seems to bend with his sword.“297. 298. 299. 300.” He drops his sword and rests on the ground, “I didn’t think it’d be this tiring. Somehow this feels harder than Teacher’s training.” Flint raises his hand as a ball materializes in his hand. “Space ball.” He throws it at a tree. *PING* The tree is twisted inwards and outwards till it breaks *CRACK THUD*Flint is able to materialize space, move and control space with ease. Flint grins, “To think I can do this with just 5% Comprehension. I wonder what I’ll be able to do when I master it. Time to return to Thorn, I’m done with the training.” Flint gets up and starts walking back to Thorn’s cave.Flint arrives before the cave with it’s big door and many locks, “Did it have so many locks?” He knocks on the door…..Silence…..He knocks again.“Yeah, I’m coming!” *THUD THUD BANG BANG CLANG CLAN
Thorn sits on a chair and offers one to Flint, he forgot Licia is still there. “At some point during the Journey to grow stronger, levels become…..bullshit.” Flint is confused and Thorn continues, “You can have the highest level and skills but if you can’t make good use out of it then you’re weak. I’ve witness people fight with a huge level gap yet the lower levelled one won. Combat potential can’t be measure, it’s just your capability to face opponents.”Flint thinks about it, “So if my combat potential is high, I might be able to match up to her?”Thorn’s thoughts, “Sorry but no. Rank also has a say in it, Twenny is a Tittle Calamity, you’ll need more than combat potential to fight on equal footing with her.” Then he speaks, “Against others yes.”Flint feels relieved though he misunderstands, then a question pops into his mind. “Can…you tell me more about Teacher?”Thorn rubs his chin, “There’s not much to say, she’d mostly stay indoors with her sibling watching movies and eating sn
After a few days, the group finally arrive at Avua. Aella takes her carriage and continues to her duchy, Chuck goes back home to meet his family. Aku and Flint go back to their usual days of helping the ‘fam’. The sun rises on the Barimah household, the light falls on A sleeping Flint. Flint wakes up and stretches with a smile on his face, “What a great morning.” He gets out of bed to the closet and changes into his everyday wear. Flint walks out of his room going downstairs to the bathroom then stops, “That’s odd, I don’t sense Licia around.” Aku is in the kitchen cooking, “Licia went to Twenny’s old cave, she said she’s got a friend there.” Flint’s head pokes through the door, “Did she say what kind of friend?” Aku shakes her head, “Nope, I think it’s an imaginary one since Twenny is the only person to think of living there.” Flint raises a brow, “And monsters?” Aku shrugs, “We haven’t a monster in these parts since Twenny moved in. I’m certain she did something to keep the mo
