2024-10-29 19:42:56At the gates of Frishia is traffic, a lot of people and carriages could be seen trying to gain entrance into the city. There are guards inspecting the people, some gather in group in the line waiting as they chat and do their own things. The quartet arrives before the gate to see the multitude waiting to gain entrance.
Twenny gives a wry smile as her thoughts. “Oh greeeaat, just like every medieval civilization. Now we just wait and trouble comes out way.” They walk to the back of the line as a group of men also join the line. Flint, Aku and Chuck thought nothing of it but Twenny, “Let me guess, these guys will cause trouble and Flint will beat them up. Then Aku will butt in with her swords and Chuck will get his hands ready for a fight. Soldiers appear and we get arrested, then a lot of unnecessary stuff.”They seem to be chatting as one man looks at Twenny and licks his mouth, he walks up to her as the others keep talking. “Hey pretty.” He stretches his hand to touch Twen

The next day, the sun rose like every morning. Twenny sits up on her bed and looks over at Aku, she looks out the window towards a mountain range.Twenny stands by the window resting her elbows on it to support her head. “The monsters will be approaching in a couple of hours. Ahh, that’s the scout to report.” Her vision zooms in on a lone soldier on a horse rushing to Frishia with fear painted on his face. “A lot of people will die, this city will be overrun by the monsters if my agent wasn’t here.”Twenny’s vision zooms to the monster horde approaching, she grins. “You’ll make the perfect practice dummies for them.” She turns around and taps Aku, “Wake up Aku. It’s morning.” In the boys room, Flint is sleeping on his bed covered in the sheets and Chuck is….sucking his thumb. Twenny barges into the room, “WAKE UP!!” they’re startled up and look around for an attack. Twenny notices Chuck, “You suck your thumb?”Chuck shakes his head, “NO!

Dust clouds appear around the mountain as monsters could be seen on the land and in the air. The mountain is filled with growls and roars as they descend the mountain with about a kilometer or more apart. Aella’s voice spreads across the army, “EVERYONE GET INTO FORMATION!” the soldiers rush into formation as they get ready to fight. “Adventurers to the front.” Aella is seen on a horse as she rides to the front followed by the Silver Crows with their flags. Some nobles also join in at the front but behind the adventurers. Some nobles had really high levels as one has actually reached B rank.Twenny looks at that noble as her thoughts, “That’s odd. How did their level rise so quickly? I thought the strongest of them was only level 4.” Twenny looks over the soldiers and notices that among the soldiers the strongest is level 4. “Looks like oversight. I assumed that to be the average level because only few people are above F rank.” The quartet walks to the front lines with

“The Subjugation isn’t over.” Twenny repeats confusing them more.Chuck squints his eyes, “What do you mean? We killed all the monsters and saved the girls- I mean city.” Twenny shakes her head, “If you observed the monsters closely, you’ll notice that they were fleeing.” Her words drop like a bomb shocking them.Aku is the first to recover, “What do you mean? They’re too many to be consider that fleeing.”Twenny nods, “You’re right, but as you heard from the soldiers. This is subjugation was the easiest, a monster subjugation normally lasts for days since the monsters flee. That did not happen.”Flint makes a fist with his hands, “So what do we do? If the subjugation isn’t over then w- ““Tonight.” Twenny cuts in, “Tonight. The leader of the monsters is clearly intelligent, send the weaklings to your enemies to give them a false sense of victory. Then strike when they let their guard down.” Aku is shaken, “S..So what do we do? We have to warn them.”

Aku is running leaving a trail of fire in the air behind her, she moves like a blur *SLASH SLASH SLASH* dicing monsters on her way. ENERGY SENSE > DETECTION. “Huh? BEHIND?!” she jumps as a tail slams the place she stood. Aku lands and turns back to see a big snake tail, she follows with her eyes to see a Naga monster about 8 meters long. *HISSSSS* Aku looks around her to see smaller Nagas surrounding her, she hops on her feet twirling the swords in her hands, “Bring it.”A runic circle appears in the hands of a Naga monster behind Aku as poison gathers and shoots at Aku. Aku ducks dodging it, she turns to fight but notices a Naga charge at her. She swings her sword *CLANG* “What?” the naga monster blocked her sword with its claws. The big Naga monster seems to watch as the smaller ones attack Aku. Aku jumps back as a tail slams the ground, she twists mid-air then swings her sword *SLASH* she cuts of a naga tail.

Back to when the trio decided to split up, Aku charges ahead with Flint as Chuck pucks a pillar. “What better way show off than this?” Chuck grins putting the pillar on shoulder, he runs off towards a group.A gathering to the north of them is a group of monsters, these monsters are a group of orcs and goblins. Though their race is weak, these monsters are at least C rank with some reaching A rank. The monsters are pillaging houses as a pillar strikes the center of the street causing dust to spread surprising the monsters. Chuck lands beside the pillar, “Who’s ready to become paste?” he lifts the pillar on his shoulders.*ROAARR!!* The monsters charge at Chuck, “I guess you then.” Chuck swings the pillar, *WHAAM! CRACK CRACK CRACK* You could see the bones in the monsters because of the large pillar smashing into them. “COME GET SOME!” He swings again, *WHAAM!

Back to when the trio split up, Flint runs with Aku in front of him. Although, he’s at his full speed, Aku leaves him in the dust. “My sister has gotten really fast huh. She’ll probably skip the monsters here and aim for the gates, I’ll deal with this place.” He stops as he slides on the ground to a stop. There’s complete silence in the area, not a single life can be detected and his detection skill is jammed.Am eerie voice echoes in Flint’s head, “Well well well, a human, here. Looks like you’re a strong one, though still weak.” Flint turns around to look around but no one is there. Flint grips his broad sword, “Would you mind showing yourself? It’s a bit hard to hold a conversation like this.” Flint keeps turning around to find the source.“Oh but I prefer conversing like this. Because, there are some who cannot stand my appearance.” *Low GROWL* *THUD THUD THUD* Flint looks around him turning quickly in all directions, he could hear the footsteps, the grows but could

He turns *CRAASHH* the manticore crashes into the building then chases Flint as his thoughts. “I….I can’t make it. He’ll catch me at this rate.” He puts his everything into running.There’s a place right before them with a fountain at the center, Flint runs as the manticore chases him with only 5meters between them. “HAHAHAHA Soon, you’ll be nothing but meat in my mouth.” The distance closes then the manticore jumps. Things slow down as the manticore’s mighty jaws loom over Flint, the jaw slowly closes as horror is all over Flint’s face with his thoughts. “I’m going to be eaten!”Just as the jaws are about to cover Flint, a dull silver shield slowly hits the jaws as it pushes it away *BAANG* manticore crashes.

Ruler verses united god
“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 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.

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.

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.

Law Comprehension
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

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.
