"So what brings you calling me, Ada?" The woman then drank the bowl of mushroom soup in a matter of seconds
"Like what my shadow wisp has said, I want you to come with us in order to subdue the Duchess" Ada then slowly drank her mushroom soup with a wooden spoon"Hmm... I suppose you really do need my help..." The woman then grabbed her bag, she then pulled something out of it"I went in her laboratory and it seems she's planning big... I almost got caught by her as well" She then gave papers to Ada."What... What is this, Faye..." Ada looked thoroughly at the papers that she was given."I think she's planning on a raid" Faye was then given another bowl by Mizu, she said thank you before continuing to devour itThe papers were filled with blueprints, ways on how to make golems and how to mobilize manifactured celtors."I also didn't see any of her assistants, I think that's how she got the manifactured celtors... Tubes were everywhere inside that lab of hers" Faye then places the bowl down, she then looked at Ada"Whatever it is, it's to concerning to not help you out" Faye then stood up, grabbing her greathammer and looking at the group"But first I gotta teach this two on how to properly defeat a Golem" Faye pointed her hammer right at them"Hey wait I'm still trying to recover my left arm here! I just used strong left 2 times in a row!" Amarico then looked at Faye with a pissed off face."I can try it out, I might as well try and learn on how to defeat them with only a sword" Mizu then looked at his sword, it was bent already and had scratches."Oh please, you aren't gonna do any damage with that broken thing over there, here" Faye then grabbed a spare weapon from her bag, she threw Mizu a crescent shaped sword."Due to its crescent shaped nature, it could probably deal more than that straight sword" Faye then pointed at a tree "Try it out for yourself, it'll be much better than your old sword" Faye went towards it, she then leans on it "Yeah this one's sturdy as hell, go on give it a try" Mizu then started walking towards the tree, he then two hands the sword and started to swing right at it.Pieces came flying everywhere whenever he hits the tree and then with one final swing he made half of it gone."Told you, it'll work even better against Golems""Now that you got the hang of it, why not test it on the real deal itself" Faye then pointed at another Golem, it was turned around so it wouldn't see the group."How did that thing get here almost immediately!?" Amarico was already terrified. Her arm hasn't healed yet."Ah quit whining already, let me and this guy over here take care of it" Faye started walking towards it"Let's go!" Faye immediately equipped her greathammer, with Mizu equipping his new sword that Faye gave him."Alright then!" Faye and Mizu immediately went in front of it.Faye then started to distract it, only playing defensively while Mizu immediately went to it's arms, slicing through it "Woah!" Mizu immediately backed off, the Golem stumbling backwards as it just recieved a fatal damage."Nice job! Now let this Mercenary finish it off, alright?" Faye immediately threw her weapon in front of the Golem, she then boosts herself towards it.She pulls her left arm behind her, grinning."STRONG LEFT!" Faye then lands
Mizu then held his sword tightly as he looked at the creatures that was rising from the ground. Their head was covered by what seems to be corals and their face looked hideous. They were wearing armor like clothing but it was already torn off, hinting that they were adventurers once."Mizu! Becareful, they can use spells even though their mudskippers now!" Ada then started to cast a spell. A shadow tendril was formed beside her as it started to move to Mizu's location."Hang on Mizu! Let my tendril grab you and carry you here!" But then the tendril got burnt down by a fireball. The group looked at the direction where the fireball came from, they saw a Mudskipper that was wearing an armor that was mostly for mages."Mizu!" Amarico finally arrived at the other side of the bridge, she wanted to go back but she'll risk of breaking the bridge too."Ada do you have any more spells?!" Faye then started to go over the bridge but Amarico stopped her from going further"I'm trying to but I can
Mizu slowly started walking across the bridge, taking his time as he didn't want to fall off the bridge and drop into the acid lake that was beneath it."This slingshot was actually useful, thanks for that Amarico!" Faye then puts the slingshot back inside her backpack, looking at the gate that they will soon enter."You guys ready for this?" Amarico then helped Mizu get over to them as they then turned to the gate."I should give a brief rundown to her Manor... There's 3 levels overall and the last one is where she resides" Faye then drew on the ground, luckily there was a small patch of dirt "The first floor had a ton of... Celtors, I assume?" Faye then started to draw each floor correspondingly. Each of them having a drawing or two."I can't even call them real Celtors... Or people... They followed the Duchess around like they were robots and always said 'We shall return Celtor back to it's former glory' gives robotic vibes don't you think?" Faye then went to the second floor"Nex
"Holy! There's so many of this Gargoyles! I swear I can count them with my eyes closed!" Faye then bashed one's body with her greathammer. She then grabbed the dead Gargoyle's body and threw it to the other Gargoyles."Where did she even get this much?! And I thought it was Celtors?!" Amarico then punched one's beak as it flail around, hitting it's comrades and the pillars around them."Either in the Aratel Sea or possibly made Artificially!" Ada then threw a shadow dagger on the monster's eyes as it screamed in pain. She then used Faye's body as a boost for her jump as she then striked it down."But enough talking for now we literally need to get to that elevator over there so we can at least progress down this dungeon!" Faye then one handed her hammer, she then used her other hand to use her shield"Follow my lead! Don't stop!" Faye then shouted, she then starts to rush through the Gargoyles, some going away to not get hit by her."You heard her, go!" Ada then followed behind, then
"What possess you to enter my kingdom in this uninvited matter, my dear madaam" Raven asked as she drank her cup of tea.The group and her were now in a room, it was royalty like... Much like she was enjoying the time of her life because of this."Raven... I came to discuss to you to stop this nonsense on what you are doing right now, don't you see how many lives you've already taken?""Oh my, what do you mean by lives I've already taken? I don't see anyone resisting whatsoever"Just then, a celtor went inside a room with a tray of snacks along with cups and a teapot."They all wanted this, look, they also enjoy it as well" Raven then clapped her hands as the celtor then went towards them and placed the tray down. They were wearing a blindfold and their movement looked more controlled rather than free will."The hell do you mean enjoying?! THEY'RE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF YOU"Faye then immediately stood up and was about to punch Raven but then Amarico stopped her."Easy, Faye! We can't
Mizu groggily opened up his eyes, he tried to move around but he couldn't. Mizu then looked at his side as he saw that he was chained up. He also saw his companions still knocked out and is in the same situation as he was in.The dimly lit room slowly covered Mizu's sight, he tried to use at least one of his spells to light up the room but he couldn't, it felt like his mana and reservoir was empty.Suddenly the lights of the room lit up as Mizu squinted his eyes to adjust to the brightness. Mizu heard a door open, which in turn he looked at where it came from. It was at his left side, he turned his head to that side in which a male that was the same height as Amarico [5'7] came in, wearing a lab coat and glasses, they were pushing a cart with equipment, surgical equipment to be precise."Ah. It seems like you are awake" The male looked at Mizu as they had a blank face and souless eyes. If Mizu could just read someone's thoughts with just their face, he would've saved so many of those
"Over there!" A female voice shouted as a group of 5 was running towards a big gate as something was chasing them, it looked like angels but they were carrying spears and were shooting lightning type of bullets right at them."We just need to start that elevator and we're long gone!" A male voice then shouted as the group of 5 went on, but one went towards the lever to pull it down. Slowly the elevator started ascending, it was slow."We won't get on the top in time!" Another female voice said in a panicked tone as the group then prepared for their last stand."Don't!"Then a male shouted as they grabbed his sword, it was glowing a orange type of flame that slowly started to become azure "You guys stay there, I'll hold them off"The angels slowly started approaching the group. They started to throw the same balls of light, the man however parried it towards the angels, hitting the one who threw it to the group.Then he grabbed a revolver from his side pocket and prepared for a fight o
As Mizu and Trenti were walking, they walked by a Statue of someone. Mizu stopped as he then looked at the statue as there were... Definite features of the statue"Hey uh... Trenti who's this statue about?" Trenti then stopped walking as he walks back a couple of steps "Oh, it's the Queen of Etris"Mizu then looked at the writings engraved onto the stone "Took hold of the place after the Lord eventually died for unknown reasons. The people don't mind at all nowadays, the queen is actually making peace treaties with the other factions unlike the Lord"Mizu then looked around as he noticed something unusual "Wait what? Why did everyone move to the sides""The queen has arrived!" A person shouted as everyone scurried to the sides as well."Come on Kid, let's not get in the way ya know" Trenti said in a hint of panic in his voice as Mizu just followed Trenti.Soon a carriage of some sort was passing through but instead of horses, it was knights with a black palette armor "Make way for the
