The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 71: Unknown Location
I could still hear them as I dreamed.While running through Geldekairn, I heard the bloody screams of dwarves and humans alike as they were eaten alive by monsters. The roars and screeches of said monsters echoed through the dwarven city that we called home...But we could no longer call that place our home.It was gone... Or rather, we were gone.In the few moments that I had been conscious before arriving in this place, I noticed something.The air felt different. Like it was missing something that we had grown so used to. It was heavy...harder to breathe in, almost. My exhaustion from the battle we'd just escaped from multiplied greatly after I revived Isabella. I collapsed after making sure she was safe.I don't know how much time passed while I was out, but eventually, I opened my eyes.I could hear the sounds of someone crying heavily... "It's gone! Everything is gone! Why!? We were so happy!" The voice of my wife wailing in sorrow at our loss.I could understand her pain...
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 72: Base Construction
Since we were likely stranded, we got to work.The next few weeks were full of many things for both Isabella and me.It started with cutting down a single tree. Vengeance was capable of turning into simple tools like a hatchet, and it turned out to be more than useful here.Especially since I didn't want to cut down a tree with a sword.As possible as it might have been with these weapons, I would have felt silly doing it that way.Once the tree was down, we carved it up and drew some blueprints in the dirt.After that, we had to get some rope.All of this was done in between hunting trips, eating, and sometimes fishing.I didn't have a fishing pole, but a harpoon worked just as well. Simple weapons that didn't have moving parts usually were much more cooperative with Vengeance. Luckily, I only had to have an understanding of how to use it and how it was built.I didn't have to have mastered it.In the forest, although it was really more like a jungle, we found vines. Lots and lots of
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 73: Flying Machine
On the morning of a day two months after we got here, I could tell that autumn had arrived.The leaves on the trees began to fall off and we started to notice a chill in the air.It was worrying, because finding food in the winter would be much harder... And truthfully, surviving the destruction of an entire world only to starve to death in another, sounded pretty pathetic.Because of this, we were preparing to do some traveling soon.As we got ready to start our day normally, suddenly Isabella stopped."Hey Mizik...? Do you hear something?" "Like what?" I asked curiously."Kind of like...I don't know... I've never heard a sound like this before..."As she spoke, I began to hear something as well.It was faint, but I heard a strange noise... I couldn't describe it even if I wanted to.The two of us got up and walked out onto the porch of our treehouse and looked in its direction.There was a large metal cylinder with wings headed straight for us... Moments later...WOOOOOOOOORRRRRRR
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 74: Enforcer
Several hours later, we began to see buildings pass by below us.On the horizon, was probably the largest city I had ever seen.It spread out before us and towards the center, we could see huge towers reaching into the sky."What...is all of this?" Isabella said curiously."This is the biggest city I've ever seen..." I said quietly."Do you still want to jump out of this thing, Mizik?""I think so. I'm not sure where these people could be taking us. I'm feeling a bit paranoid. That girl keeps staring at me for some reason..." I said as I glanced at the woman.She had been watching me for some time and I wasn't sure why.Not in a perverted sort of way... But it's almost like she expected me to do something. I didn't like it."Then we're agreed. Let's get out of here as soon as we pass over the city."We waited a while longer until we were above the city and then decided it was time to go.Isabella stepped towards the door and slid it open. As soon as she did the machine stopped moving
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 75: New World
"This is the third time I've been behind bars and I'm still only fifteen," I said."At least it wasn't your fault the first two times, my love.""Wait...are you saying this is my fault?" I asked worriedly."Of course not! I wouldn't blame you for this! Although you did kill that...police officer?""He shot first, though. It was self-defense!" "I understand, Mizik."I laid back on the small bed in the cell we were in and put my hand over my eyes.At least they gave us new clothes...Our old clothes were falling apart at this point and Michael was nice enough to get us something new to wear.He was...good at determining Isabella's size just by looking at her. If I learned he was some kind of pervert, I wouldn't be surprised. He had me try on clothes by myself, however. Currently, Isabella and I were wearing a type of pants called 'jeans'. We were wearing simple shirts as well. After he gave us our clothes, we left to get changed in the bathroom.This world had bathrooms as well. Alt
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 76: Meeting Of Powers
We were allowed to leave the cell and passed by several groups of officers on the way out. We followed Michael outside and got into one of the wheeled machines.They were called 'cars', apparently.This one was longer than most of them and we sat in the back. It was actually quite luxurious."Where are you taking us?" Isabella asked. "I already told you, didn't I? We're going to see Iris. We'll be going to the central building here I'm Florence. That's where the rest of us are, currently.""Do they know about us?" I asked."Uhh...yeah? That's why they came here...? Gavin and Leiso were pissed, but I told them you two were alright. Dante is looking forward to meeting you, as well.""Are Gavin and Leiso going to attack us on sight?" I asked.Seemed like a reasonable question..."I dunno. They could, if you catch them in a bad mood, but more than likely, they won't if they were told not to. Still, your girlfriend should keep her shield at the ready. That thing is HARD!""Excuse me, Mizi
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 77: The Iron Tsunami
"Excuse me?" Isabella said. "What do you mean by that...?""You will face one of us in battle. If you succeed, we will consider you strong enough to help us out. If you fail, we will send you away," Dante said."If you send us away, does that mean we have to freeze to death when winter rolls around?" I asked."You mean go back to your...treehouse...? That, I can't answer. It depends on what Iris wants to do. She could send you to a divine realm and they would sort you out from there. Likely, you would be sent back to Avernia regardless of its current state," Dante said as he motioned towards the woman on the throne behind him.I looked up at the teal-haired woman and she smiled at me.I couldn't tell if it was friendly or not...But...the prospect of being sent back to Avernia absolutely terrified me. That world was lost and we would be sent to our doom in such a scenario."But if you prove useful, Iris should be able to grant you a blessing to help you get past the language barrier.
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 78: Intrusion
"How do you want to do this?" I asked Isabella."Stay behind me. I'll take their attacks and-""You think we're stupid enough to just hit that shield of yours while your boyfriend kills us?" Gavin said, interrupting Isabella."Indeed. After the display you showed, we have determined that attacking you is pointless. We will be aiming for that boy instead. Once he is dealt with, your resolve will be shattered. You will die here together," Leiso said coldly.She adopted a fighting stance and several iron spikes rose from the ground around her and Gavin.They were soon covered in water and then levitated while being pointed at us.I could feel a breeze blowing and several sparks erupted around Gavin.Why can't we just talk things out?"Are you two really so against us?" I asked."I may have gone easy on you because you are children, but you're still otherworlders. You don't belong here," Leiso said."I'm gonna enjoy blowing you two to bits!" Gavin growled angrily.Isabella raised her shie

Chapter 256: Soul Splitting
The Oracle was quite literally dragged to the Cursebreaker. She had gone completely insane after being killed, tortured, and reset ten thousand times."I have successfully discovered the source of my curse," Vakra said."Is it her?" I said as I looked at the Oracle.She wouldn't move anymore."No. Her power is part of it, but she isn't the one who cursed me. I'm guessing that it was a higher power. But who could be higher than the Oracle? The Creator, of course.""So you were cursed by the architect of all of creation? That makes sense. Why would he want you running wild and defying reality like that?""Ugh...it pains me to admit it, but you are correct, Mizik... My abilities made a mockery of his creation and I was likely cursed as a result. Meaning that I can never erase this curse.""So sad to hear. But that's also a good thing for me. I don't think I would trust you if I couldn't contain you," I said."Right...and you'd be correct to assume such a thing. But I suppose I should get
Chapter 255: Spectacle Of Revenge
I was led to a large staging area where numerous gods of the realm had gathered. Isabella followed and I instructed Stella to stay back.The three of us, that being the Albatross twins and myself, were the ones most hurt by the Oracle's actions.Today...she would suffer in front of her people. And they would bear witness to the monster she created out of her own stubbornness and stupidity.We currently stood backstage. We were waiting for the Artificer to give the signal. And that's when I heard him speak."Greetings, people of Excelsis. As you well know already, I am the Artificer. The Guardian of Dominus. Today, you have all gathered here without knowing why...and soon you will find out. Good citizens of the realm, some of you are still haunted by the things you saw before the reset was ended. Most of you have no clear idea as to why Excelsis was violently razed to the ground by the man who calls himself: Destroyer. Well...that is the folly of your former leader. The Oracle is the o
Chapter 254: Festivals And Mind Control
Finally, preparations were complete and the festival began.Currently the three...or four of us? Were walking through the city streets and looking at the different attractions.That is to say, the Albatross twins and Stella.I allowed the others off of the ship so that they could enjoy themselves for a bit. The Artificer assured us that the area was secure. He was sure that the Oracle's Faithful had completely abandoned Excelsis.On every corner, we saw a squad of six drones. Additionally, other groups could be seen flying around above.Still, despite all of this...Isabella remained ever vigilant. Always clinging to my arm and staying right next to me. Despite the Artificer's reassurance, she continued to protect me.Stella followed behind with a content smile on her face.After a short while of looking at the different attractions, I found Iris along with Carlos and Leiso.Carlos looked a bit bored while Leiso seemed out of place.Iris was playing a game at a stall featuring several
Chapter 253: Missing Faithful
A few days later, things were finally beginning to look different in Excelsis.I could see flying metal constructs buzzing around in the air on insect-like wings, surveying the area. At the same time, many of the people of Excelsis were setting up decorations for a festival.Hilariously, they wouldn't know what they were celebrating until the day arrived.And as I sat on a bench nearby, Isabella sat happily next to me, clinging to my arm.Stella stood at my side surveying the area.There would have been other troops under her, but I chose not to bring them. The soldiers were specifically for the defense of the ship itself."Hmm..." "Is something wrong, Master?" Isabella said."You're having way too much fun calling me that, aren't you?" I said."Ehehe...guilty. I like seeing your reaction. But if I'm going to be a slave, I should play the part, yes?"I suppose so..." I said."I, for one, believe it to be perfectly natural to refer to his Majesty as Master," Stella said."Hm...right..
Chapter 252: Heart Resonance
As we walked back to the Cursebreaker, I could see Isabella constantly surveying the surrounding area for potential threats.However, many of the gods walking the streets recognized me as the one who razed Excelsis to the ground. The one who brought death and destruction to their realm.The result, was that they were absolutely terrified of me and made no attempts to approach.After all, many of them had actually been killed as a result of my actions.All the while I secretly remained on the lookout for a potential candidate. One goddess from this realm would join us on our ship. They would become mine forever and dedicate their existence to serving me and stopping the Corruption.But unfortunately, none of these would do. They were weak. I decided to ignore them and focus on something else.I had other plans, currently. I would be speaking to Iris and everyone about what she had to show them. They were valuable crew members, so I wanted to see what she had planned.Once we reached t
Chapter 251: Big Plans
After a month-long journey back to Excelsis...we finally returned.I couldn't believe how long it took to get back.We didn't have access to the divine transit, and as a result, it took much longer to get there.Of course, that gave me an idea. I wondered if I could potentially have a personal god or goddess to join our crew.Then I stopped and though about it more...Definitely a goddess. While more pleasing to look at, I could bring her even closer to me. And if she's completely under my control, she'll follow every order willingly. Best of all, someone like that is highly unlikely to betray me. I wouldn't have to enact vengeance upon her and remain on good terms...I almost smiled.That would be my next goal...find a goddess to join our crew to have permanent access to the divine transit.And maybe...Make new Enforcers...?It was too amazing. Our combat force would grow significantly from such a thing. We would be even stronger than before!I made a mental note to also have Iris t
Chapter 250: Artificial 'Intelligence'
While waiting on the final shipment of heart stones, I stood outside the Cursebreaker with Cassandra. We were also waiting on...the body for Virtus.The AI for our ship was a shy girl that had trouble talking to people. Unfortunately, I didn't know enough about computer programming to change her behavior. And Vakra refused even under the threat of death. So...we were stuck with her...A hour passed and Cassandra affectionately held onto my arm while humming."Having fun...?" I asked."Of course! I get to be with my darling Mizik!" Cassandra said happily.Then I looked forward and saw an eye staring at me in mid air a few feet away."Oh...damn it all..." I mumbled.It opened wider and Valthiem stood quietly with her mask on."Valthiem!? What are you doing here!?" Cassandra said as she readied herself."..."Then I felt that suffocating impending doom I had grown quite used to...Difar rose out of Valthiem's shadow and glared at me."Dammit...I had a speech prepared and everything. I w
Chapter 249: Payback
As I reached the bridge, I saw Stella charging straight for me."MASTER MIZIK!!!!" She shouted."Umm..."She nearly tackled me to the ground and began crying on my chest."You're alive!!! My beloved Master Mizik is alive!!! I'm so happy!!!" She cried."Yeah, I'm fine... Can you please calm down?" I said.She slowly pulled back and dried her tears. She smiled joyfully."I'm so glad that everything is back! Even if that horrible curse is still upon you, it means I have the pleasure of serving my beloved Master! This is a joyous day for me!" Stella exclaimed.Before I could respond, I heard the voice of Faith again.[This woman is filled with a great adoration for you! She also holds amazing power! May I petition you to let her hold me, my Lord!?]By the gods...fine...[Aha! But is the Overseer not greater than any mere lesser god!?]Please stop."Stella...I have a request," I said."Ah!? Does Master Mizik find me appealing? I can serve you in all sorts of ways, Master!" She said.Sudden
Chapter 248: Home Visit
The next day, I decided to visit the Cursebreaker before meeting with the Artificer.Cassandra was with me and Isabella stayed back. The two of us boarded the ship and were immediately confronted by Rastair."Good to see you, Ras-""MIZIIIIIIK!!!!!" She shouted as she hugged me."GET OFF ME, YOU DAMN GIANT WOMAN!""I'M NOT A GIANT!!!" She said as she pulled away. "Ugh...what is it!? Did something happen!?" I said."What!? Of course something happened! Iris already told me! You died, didn't you!?" Rastair said."Yeah, but I'm fine now! What about it!?" "Oooh...are you not in a good mood? That's kinda hot... Want me to give you a fun time? I'll make you feel better~!" She said with a sly smile.I could in my current state, but it might kill you. So no."Hard pass. For your own safety. Get stronger and we'll talk.""Ehhh...you're no fun..." Rastair said."You died on Delvandal, didn't you? When Rose destroyed it?" I said.Rastair nodded."I was just relaxing on Ripper Isle, sipping a g
