‘Ulva? I thought you went to ease yourself?’I grabbed her before she could fly off into some hut and hurt herself.“I-I… ugh… big sister… I…”‘This guy… he hurt you.’I focused my attention on the bastard who hit Ulva. He was lucky enough to avoid my slash. However, it would seem the speed at which he escaped was a little bit too much for him to even control when he stopped.I originally flew in with the sigma armor since I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but now that I was here, I wish I hadn’t. That way I wouldn’t have been slowed down.Next to me, one of Shiroi’s mist wolves materialized itself.‘You. Take Ulva to Shiroi and tell her that she shouldn’t let Ulva out of her sight.’I dropped Ulva on the wolf and marched towards the undead.“W-Wait…”‘Not now, Ulva. I am really not in the mood.’I just really, really didn’t like anything of mine being treated badly. Not my stuff, not my pets, not my friends and definitely not my cute little sister.‘Scorching Winter… you up for t

My mood completely ruined the kill. Either that or because it had been dead for quite some time. Apparently, the chief was not so alive for quite a while.I went back to the village and saw that the lizard man who led us to the village was laying dead in the water, his neck had been slit open and he had bled out. The other villagers were too terrified to move. I assumed the chief killed him before I came back.Under my orders, the lizard men were rounded up with the help of a few shadow demons I summoned. There were about one hundred lizard men still alive and because their king hurt Ulva, I saw it fit t
““Wow! The capital looks fantastic!” is what I expected to here, instead of “Why are there so many prostitutes running amok?””Akihiko said disappointingly to his daughter who wore a vexed expression with crossed arms. He sighed and sat back up, clearing his throat.“Come on, Kana. You can’t be mad at me forever.”“Want to try me?”Her voice was threatening.“Finally, you talk.”Akihiko closed his eyes and rested his head on his palm in boredom. Anyone at this point would have been terrified at Kana. From her eyes to her body language to her very vulgar expressions, it was obvious as day that she was not pleased.Why though? Akihiko intentionally did not go with concubines since those seemed to tick her off a lot. He had ordered for the finest carriage in his possession with one of the best horses available. They passed through the Tourist Section of the capital just so she would be able to see and experience a lot of things that she normally wasn’t able to experience. So right now, w
“You there, take this to the banquet hall, immediately. We need to prepare everything immediately.”The Head Chef ordered one of the servants standing there, shoving a massive tray of boiled crawfish into his arms. The servant took the tray without much complaint and walked out the kitchen door.There, his eyes met the soldier’s. The soldier approached him and whispered into his ears.“The cardinals are already here. Hurry.”The servant nodded and proceeded quickly towards the banquet hall.“Oi. What did you whisper to him?”His fellow guard came over, suspicious at the exchange between the two.“Haha, I wanted to bully him for some of the crawfish, but he refused me.”The new soldier sighed and shook his head in disappointment.“Every year, there’s always someone like you. Get back to your station and ensure that everything is alright.”“Right away!”The older guard walked past him and he glowered with disgust secretly. He walked towards one of the corners where no eyes would be able
Sitting inside the secret chamber of the Imperial Castle were five people. A large rectangular table was set in the center of the room, facing the door and behind it, massive curtains that hid something were barely opened. Four members from the Elder Clans were currently present. Saito Yoshitatsu who sat on the left side of the table, closest to the curtains, had her eyes closed in silent meditation. Sotomura Tomo, or better known as the Grand Sage looked to be quietly facing the empty seat across him, but everyone knew he was busily investigating blue prints he had stored in his head and thinking up new marvels for the world. He sat at the right hand of the table, closest to the door. Daisuke simply drank a cup of warm tea, facing his friend Yoshitatsu. Sitting at the end of the table with her back to the door, was Tatsumaki Suzuki, fanning herself.Behind the veil was the emperor whose face was illegal to be seen by any. Any except his royal advisor, that is, Suzuki Tatsumaki, the o
A feeling of doom settled on all but Sotomura who had already calculated the possibilities. If he was being very honest, the situation did not look good for them in anyway. But if there was one thing he was certain of, it was that there was no traitor amongst the current circle. As much as Akihiko disliked Suzuki, even he would recognize the situation immediately. That was why no one complained when Akihiko was drunk. In fact, Drunk Akihiko was abnormally smart. It was so weird Tomo had been tempted to dissect his brain for research. Surely, he had heard everything that had happened and would make the best possible wish. Fafnir crouched next to the drunk and lifted his head. A few light taps and the behemoth of a man was looking up in a daze. “I am here to grant your wish, Akihiko. Make your wish.” “W-Wish… hic…?” “Yes, Akihiko, your wish.” Fafnir whispered into his ear. Akihiko stood up and his body cackled with lightning. “You know? Hic… I’ve always disliked… hic… you, Ibuki.”
So, I messed up big time. The only leverage I had on Zana, I accidentally revealed it didn’t exist. At that point, I expected for a big battle where she’d kill me, but she simply asked me to leave her cave. I tried to talk her into rethinking it, but in a rage, she let the aura she had been hiding flare and sacked me out of the cave.Currently we were on our way back to the lizardman village to get the others and teleport right back to the West.“Hey, you there.”We encountered a snake person on our way.‘Who are you?’I forwarded a message to their minds. Its eyes widened in brief shock, before completely disregarding my question.“Follow me to my village for a moment.”They said,“I have information that will be very crucial to you.”‘Huh? Don’t ignore my question in favour of your own.’The snake person still slithered past me into the fog.‘Oi. Snake dude, girl, person, thing? I don’t know what your deal is, but either you speak now or we just leave.’Still not responding to me, t
Ten years had passed and the shaman had come to the conclusion that her adopted granddaughter was for lack of a better term “Gifted”. A prodigy when it came to learn shamanism. A bright child that loved to play around and experiment, with a character that did not befit her appearance. She was so much of blessing that even The Fog had taken a liken to her.For these and several other reasons, the shaman had decided that her granddaughter would inherit her role as the next shaman. Since she specialised in [Totem Magic], she believed that would be watch she should teach her.It did not take long for the child to become proficient with that brand of magic and move out to discover others.Truly a bright granddaughter anyone would wish to have. She was content with all matters, but little did she know there was a budding problem. That was her son’s wife had eventually laid an egg and from it was born a powerful beautiful granddaughter. Though she was not stronger than her predecessor, she w
