The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 140: Hesitation
When Isabella woke up, she had no idea where she was.She found herself lying in a cell. "Where...are we?" Isabella said."I don't know..." Cassandra said."I remember being pulled into the mansion, but after that, everything went dark..." Isabella said."At least we aren't in our underwear like that time you were at the Iratus Estate..." Cassandra said nervously."Look, that was partially your fault, you know? If you hadn't told Tyranus about our trip to his office, we wouldn't have been caught!" Isabella said."H-hey...I feel terrible about that, okay!? And Tyranus already planned to attack you, regardless. Please forgive me for that, sister...""Alright... You're forgiven. Besides, it's all in the past. That was over thirteen years ago, anyway.""Yaay! Isabella is merciful just like my darling Mizik!" "Please stop fawning over him...""I can't help it! He's all I can think about! I was in the pit for so long and the only thing that kept me sane was the thought of seeing him again
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 141: Carnival Of Death
As Akari and I walked, we began to see more and more regular servants cleaning the mansion.Akari seemed to be scared of them because she said they were secretly undead cloaked in illusions.Apparently, she had been attacked multiple times by illusions from her past. The one of me was by far the most aggressive, however.I took comfort in knowing Akari might have been secretly terrified of me. I didn't think I was cruel, I just despised her deceptive behavior.Right now, she seemed perfectly normal. I found myself beginning to trust her.Eventually, I saw Leiso walking towards us."Here we go again..." I said.I raised my shotgun and prepared to fire."Relax," she said. "I come in peace. I just want to talk.""I know you aren't really Leiso," I said."Obviously. This is an illusion. I chose this form because it brings you comfort. I have a question for you, though... Mizik, was it?" The fake Leiso said."Are you the one in charge here?""I am a manifestation of his power containing hi
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 142: Into The Dungeons
We continued onward as we remained on the first floor.Akari hadn't really done much since I began using undead to keep the enemies at bay.I even began summoning my own in the short breaks we took... Because Akari demanded we stop occasionally for her own sanity.The magic in Delvandal's atmosphere was dense and as a result, I had more mp than usual. This world was truly a breath of fresh air from Ignitus' suffocating and desolate enviornment.Also, some of the undead I summoned were apparently very powerful variants.I summoned high level death knights, ravenous flesh golems, and frost shades.I even found a spell to summon a skeletal dragon. There wasn't enough room for it to fit here, however. And lastly, a spell to summon a lich under my control.Unfortunately, nearby undead found it difficult to decide who to listen to when the lich was present. I had to dispose of it as a result.It was a shame... That lich was really strong...Regardless, I summoned about thirty skeletal sorc
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 143: Thanatos
After descending several more floors and fighting through a literal army of undead, I could feel something incredibly powerful nearby.The tunnels we were currently walking through had a dark red aesthetic to them.The lanterns on the walls had an eerie glow in the dim light.Eventually Akari and I, along with my small-but-potent army of undead, approached a set of massive double doors.I could feel a vast amount of magic behind them...Akari also looked somewhat afraid. The compass was leading us straight to these very doors.Somewhere on the other side, Isabella was being held... And the lich, Nevarius, was likely there as well.I prepared myself for battle and kicked the doors as hard as I could.They flew open and I walked straight into the massive room.What I saw was quite astonishing.The room was enormous. There were strange carvings all along the walls everywhere.I could see lights shining from the walls, ceiling, and floor to keep the room lit perfectly.There was a set of
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 144: Aldaril
I was so angry at the moment that I could swallow the world. The pain was so great...Isabella had betrayed me. Here this bastard was trying to kill me, and she protects him.By Iris...I'll avenge you, Isabella...[She is still aware of herself. I detect no abnormalities from Bravery. But if she stands opposed...she is a false wielder.]Fine! I'll ask!"Are you still in there, Isabella?" I asked.She nodded.Which means..."CASSANDRA! I ORDER YOU TO EXECUTE ALDARIL RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!" I shouted.Isabella's expression changed from stern readiness to confusion and worry as her eyes changed."Sister! How dare you suppress me while Mizik is in danger! And now he has given me an order that I must obey!"Bravery turned dark as the shield and armor disappeared. She stored it and now held a black dagger in her hand.She turned to Aldaril as he remained where he was."H-hold on...what is this? You're betraying me!?" He said."Betraying? No. I am only loyal to Mizik. Isabella might want to
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 145: Closeness
We reappeared in front of the main entrance of the mansion.Once the shadows sank under our feet and disappeared, we began walking towards the front gates.It was already morning. We had been down there for the entire night...The groundskeepers and gardeners were all celebrating as well.I guess it meant that they were truly free.As we walked away, we saw the fog over the forest fade and when we turned, we saw the mansion in its true state.It really was a mansion...just that it looked hundreds of years old.It was falling apart everywhere and didn't look like it would even be safe to stand next to it."Huh...that's interesting..." I said.At the same time, the illusions covering the gardeners dispersed. They looked to be rotten husks and skeletons.Their bodies crumbled to dust and their souls were released.Lastly, I saw a burst of magic from the center top of the mansion and a lich flew up holding a lantern.With a wave of his lantern, a maw of gigantic gnashing teeth shot from o
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 146: Journey To The Mountain
When we finally awoke, Cassandra immediately began having separation issues...She didn't want to go back and didn't want me to get up."It's not fair! Why do you get him all to yourself!?" Cassandra said."Because I saw him first! And I married him!" Isabella said."Not fair!!! You were the firstborn...the person who would be Queen! I had nothing! Why can't you just share him...?" Cassandra asked."Because I want him to myself! I refuse to share because I don't want Mizik to divide his love for me! Besides...I have more self-respect than that.""Why can't you just be happy with some of his love!? It's more precious than all the gold in the world! You're so greedy!" Cassandra said angrily."Please stop fighting so early in the morning, you two... I would like to get moving soon..." I said."Of course, darling!" Cassandra said as she lovingly held onto my arm.Ugh...I feel like I've made some mistakes... I hope Isabella will forgive me for being so nice to her... I tried my best to re
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 147: The Nine-Tailed Deceiver
Akari immediately leaped back as the blast grazed her and I saw her tails appear in a burst of blue light.Cassandra had already reached Akari and several of her clones tried to attack from multiple angles.But Akari was quicker than that.She came towards me and held her hands up."W-WAIT! I CAN EXPLAIN!" She shouted."Yeah...this should be good. Cassandra, hold for a moment," I said.She stopped and I used telepathy."Prepare a trap. Make sure she doesn't escape.""Yes!"I saw Cassandra mouth something in silence and wave her dagger.Several shadows spread out from her feet and the surrounding air began to shimmer.I could tell she was conjuring several illusions.I had no plans to spare Akari. Not again. I wanted to give Cassandra a chance to execute her."W-well...u-umm... I was...uh...""Go on," I said.At the same time I was charging a spell. Several spears of fire to skewer her from below"Oh! I wanted to make sure you were still alive! It's cold out here, so I had to...umm...c

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
