As the two were bickering with each other. Multiple cloaked mage synchronize their spell as their wands started flaring. They sense the presence of multiple people engrossing around the house. And within the splits second of realizing that they were greeted with.
(Sfx KAAABOOOOOMM!)
A loud explosion that blew the house to smithereens in seconds; made from the release of a unit of 10 mages troop, synchronized firebolts hitting the house from all angles. What had happened was the 20 troop that when around the village that went east, stumbled upon the house disinterest with who was living there. There orders were to simply guard the Village from the outside noticing that this house wasn't on there map it was just in their way. They simply blew it up without a second thought. After getting some distance from the now burn rubble that was a house.
"I thought the reports suggest that, all the civilians living in this area was only found in the village. And their were no outsiders, squatting on their land" said the sub lieutenant of the 20.
"Yes sir, that seems to be the case from the reports up to the last 2 months, seems it may have been built within that time gap" replied one of the soldiers.
(That can't be right) Sutan thought to himself "Houses that well builds, that would resemble any small town home in the city doesn't take two months to make". He raised his hand to signal the soldiers around the wreckage, "check for any sign of survivors around the rubble and immediately dispose of them" he shouted to the soldiers.
"Yes sir!" They replied.
Has the men approach the destroyed house again, you can hear a few them talking with a brash smirk on their faces.
"I don't know who was staying here, but they just got hit by a 'Sagitta ignis units Style fire bolts' one of them said boastfully.
Another replied "I doubt it'll even be bones much less seeing their charred up corpses".
"Sub-lieutenant Sultan Sifir is just being paranoid as always", said another Soldier as they were all on cheering on.
Wearing his signature light white fullbody armor with gaps in between the joints showing the chain mail under of a silver and white theme. Thinner armor plates on his dominant arm going up to his shoulder with the Beretta Wolf insignia, with lightblue highlights connected to the chest and back plate. With his signature long sleeve silver chain mail, white gloves, white pant under the armor and his distinguish 50" royal blue with golden highlight on the grip of the swept hilt; schiavonna guard Rapier Inez. Sultan looks down on them from his position on his horse from a little hill within eye view of the house, an excellent vantage point for surveying the terrain. The truth is as a seemingly true perfectionist/ narcissistic being overly selfcautious and his level headed thinking is what got him to the rank of sub-lieutenant, his style is fast and quick take no chance to damage to him no matter what it takes.
The six soldiers that went to survey the area of the rubble, we're now engulf by the smoke of the burning house.
They started shouting; soldier 1 said "all clear sir, 2clear, 3 nothing here", after hearing them he thought to himself (maybe I was overthinking it, it could be possible that all the villagers came together to build the house.
But... that still leaves the question of who was living in this house, or maybe there's no need to question that anymore. Seeing that there's no survivor) he thought maybe the gut feeling that he was having was off, "4clear, 5 all clear sir" while all of this was happening let's go back to the Village.
I managed to sneak in through the back window of the chief's home, while I thoughts to myself (Well this was a bit too easy. The soldiers that came into the village, seem to be moving in one orderly line around the general covering him or her, while I was on the roof. It would seem like they were order to not branch off too far, for some reason which I found very odd. I don't really know much about Beretta's military style, but it still seems way too unusual. It's too concentrated to be an invasion, they would more likely spread out or even search a few houses. Neither is it just a regular visits, they wouldn't need a colonel and a battalions for something as simple has that as well as this many troops).
(Sfx Shau)
I landed on the ground as I managed to make it inside I went straight up to the Chief's Tetso office. There I saw him looking through the window pointed at the Village's square, staring at the soldiers has he said to himself "This... looks like trouble".
After hearing that I blurted out "Yep... seems like it".
(Sfx Gasp)
He was a bit startled but it seems like he was getting the same vibes of the situation, he may be an elder now but he was regarded as a famed warrior back in his time. Which is surprising for a guy only standing at 4'6, even in his primes and now judging by his appearance you would have never guessed it. For a 79 year old with tan wrinkled skin, hair covering his face mostly with the eyebrow, beard and mustache he looks like a little troll. And with his eyebrows going down to his cheeks, just looking at his face you got a sense of an old wise sage look.
But barely visible covered by his one piece robe, unexpected laid a very rip body covered with battle wounds. With years of numerous torturous experience on the battlefield accompanied by his extreme lack manners or respect to any higher authority is one of the reasons why is Village while bordering on another kingdoms it stand alone with no tie to any other than trading. Seeing that even he is feeling tense right now, proves that's something very, very bothersome is about to happen with this 'guest'.
As I was going to talk "Listen we don't have muc-".
"What's going on, why are you" he ask then as he was talking.
(Sfx Wwooohhmmm)
We were interrupted with a sudden change in the air. We could hear the footsteps of the soldiers coming through the front door.
"You can't be here right now boy, hide out of sight" he whispered to me, has he push me to is his bedroom.
While he stayed in the office and sat behind his desk waiting to see who was coming through the door. Then all sound from outside cease followed by the door opening to the Chiefs office.
"Oh shit, how did I get so lucky enough... to be greeted by your damn presence" said the chief as the black silhouette enters the room.
"Come on now, surely you're not senile enough old man not to know how to show some restraints in what you say, I hope that you remember your are talking to a high rank military personnel"said the Silhouettes.
As he turn to the light coming in from the window, so I could see through the door gap trying my best to hide my presence. By angling myself just right on the ground peeping through, I could see who it was now and, (Oh, shit, shit, shit!) Was the only thing flowing through my head at that point. (Well that did not, make the situation any more better), I thought because of who was now standing in the office just happens to be no other than one of Beretta's freaking 5 Fang General, the Duke Kari Gundulf.
The Beretta kingdom is the second largest human territory on this continent consisting of a few Islands off the continent as well. And is the second most diverse region on this continent, that goes for their army as well. While mostly known for their more savage side than their heroes, their Kingdom holds the most amounts of famous warriors the Three Crow talons the King's personal guard, the seven Fang generals as well as the Fanged clan themselves.Almost all their generals originate from the Wolf, Snake, Crocodile, Tiger, Shark, Dragon and Bear Fanged clans and have all played major parts throughout all wars in history. Always carrying on the legacy by having successors to that title, for better or worse. But unfortunately the time caught up with their Infamous reign of terror, and that alarm clock happened to be the Red Moon War. Which took the life of two of their head general, Bortan and Serupet leaving only five head left to lead their ever growing armies. (With everyth
"Leodeus power?, the region you're in makes no difference if you're not parts of the kingdom you old fool". He said as he leaned over in his seat with his fingers crossed under his chin. "Did you really think that a Kingdom would go out of its way to protect a backwater Village, that refuses to integrate for years. No, no, no this isn't something new, just something in the makings for years it's your fault really. You didn't want anyone to take you under their wing of protection, so now the only choice we had is to just take you by force. Oh and also you made one error in what you said about me having no power here, this is not a statement from me it's an order from the Kings". (Kings huh…now it makes sense they haven't been forgotten, they have been cast aside. And now the two Kingdom that supposedly hate each other, with a complete opposite mindsets and beliefs . Are now working together for a common goal, judging by the Kingdom's that's working together is easy to tell what both
(Sfx Rumbling)"Wait…hold on for a second," said a yawning voice.Out came Ulia out of the burning rubble, Pushing aside the burned board that had covered her unconscious body. Walking out of the smoke to reveal herself, has she was dusting off her dress. All while the silhouette was walking out, Sultan's focus was off Rizette with anticipation to see the next beauty.(Another one) Thought the Sultan, still covering his face to hide his excitement from a soldier.But immediately had a disappointed look on his face, when he saw the woman that came out of the smoke.He started critiquing her immediately in his mind just like he did with this Rizette glaring at him. (A slim slender body, balanced only by her petite chest complementing her short stature, a curved waistline, tanned skin you would find on one of those Redline inhabitants, complementing her pitch dark hair that had some deep Crimson highlighting her black long hair, as if it's smoldering her f
"Wait…hold on for a second"Comes Ulia out of the burning rubble, walking out of the smoke to reveal herself. Taking his focus off Rizette with anticipation to see the next beauty.(Another one) thought Sultan.But had an immediate disappointed look on his face, when he saw the woman that came out of a the smoke.He started critiquing her immediately in his mind (a slim slender body balance only by petite chest complementing her short stature, a curvy waistline, tan skin you would find on one of those Redline inhabitant complementing her pitch dark with some deep Crimson highlights black long hair, as if it's smoldering her final bewitchment traits)."Hmmm… that black lolita gothic red laced frilly dress, that crimson rose neck choker matching the red frilled arm pieces she has on doesn't grab my attention like the other one. And that red long bow twisting down to the tip of her hair wrapped into a right ponytail, with a small horn to the right such a w
Picking up the awkwardness of the situation Sultan decided to break that conversation with the one from before.(Sfx Fake coughing)"Like I said before sadden as I am, that's the only option we have left".Ulia replied in a belittling tone with a light giggling."Pff…wow excellent deduction of the situation, so how is this plan going to work exactly. You know…me being a hostage in this Blockhead being dead, cause trust me when I say it's not that easy. Right Blockhead?".Has she looked at Rizette shrugging her shoulder. Then as soon as Ulia stopped talking.In a burst of cold air around her feet, Rizette made a fast sprint up the hill."She's coming at us fast sir!" Observed the soldiers,"What are your orders sir" asked Soldier 14.Sultan looked at his men and commanded "To my side", has they moved towards the side of Sultan's horse.By using the cold air as tailwinds, Rizette sped up to the point of vanishing,(Sfx
She was slammed straight across the plateau, grinding on the ground a few times until she finally, (Sfx Thud) Landed on a large tree to the side of the low hill then on the ground flat, a few meters away from where she got hit. As she lay on the ground wondering what just happen she heard, (Sfx Stomping) Footsteps approaching her. She lifts her head to see what had hit her across the grassy plains, only to be mildly shocked at the appearance of a 15 ft tall humanoid shape flame Golem. (Sfx Stomp x2) This large titan of flames towers over her, mostly red orange flames that seems to be cooler than the small cracks of yellow flames veins all over the body, mostly centered as a heart of source. In its right chest and with every step it made, (Sfx scorch x2) Burned the ground beneath its feet. After seeing this thing approached her slowly she just gently laid her head back on the ground. (Sfx Shua, shua, shua x10) Ulia still dodging all the rapid jabs by mere inches from her neck
(Sfx Thud) As Sultan helmet fell off his head, laying on the ground, face now completely visible with a extremely alarmed dumbfound expression. Trying to comprehend what just happened, within the very second of all the soldiers responding. (Sfx Burning beam x6) Then out of the smoke from the sneak blast attack that had hit Ulia, bright blue flame's appeared. And the next second of flashing light, he was on the floor with his left shoulder charred through the armour. All five other Soldier had no traces left of them, all he could do was scream in pain, "Aaaaaaarrgh". "Aw shit, I couldst maketh fetches f'r the house but thee just hadst to wend and mess with the village". said the glowing bright red crimson eyed silhouette from the smoke, "Rizette!… lets go, the idiot's in trouble" said Ulia has the smoke from the attack cleared. Before this while Ulia was fighting Sultan, Rizette was, (Sfx Shua, shua, shua x2)
Ulia slowly walked closer to Sultan, noticing that he's unable to answer any of her question do to him being in 'severe pain' and asked, "Really…what would be the point of you running away from me after all this, you seem pretty sure of yourself literally just moments ago what's with the sudden change in attitude". Sultan writhing in pain, look that are confused and saided, "Ar… are blind…do you have a death wish or something…iin a few seconds, this area will be obliterated". He then raise his head from the ground only to see an unfaze Ulia by his word, he then realize that it would be impossible to get away. So he contemplates the only options he has, (God dammit it hurts!, this woman has no idea the destructive force of a fire Golem. she couldn't even begin to contemplate what's going happened to us, must have thought she could use me as a bargaining chip. Ha, aha but it's already too late for me, even if I do survive I would be of no use to my country…to her. I'll have to sacri
"So think of this... as a small down investment, the stronger you guys are the less work I have to do later which will make it easier to part ways". "So your just helping us before you abandon us at the end of our journey or anywhere you see danger" Old lady Bao questions. Lieg giggles under his voice and reveal, "No I’m not going to allow any of you guys to be harmed on our little trip here all the way to the end, that was my promise to the chief… giving you this was just a bonus. And thought it would allow you to be more generous enough to assist in taking care of that little ones like you've always. Especially a cute little Demi deviance just like you”. Lieg does an almost villain-like smirk at old lady Bao, annoying her enough causing her to strike him with her elbow followed by her stick to his foot coated in aura. Sending him flying backward coughing out blood, she then slowly walks towards him laying on the sand supported by her stick while he's slowly got up on his knees.
As their lips were just inches away, all sense of rationality had completely dissipated from her mind I see hello this unexplainable sense of lust to take her over. Lieg's eye started to change again glowing golden yellow mixed some pinkish hue slowly emerging from the pupils. “What the hell are you talking about!?”, Tetso appeared between them, Howywee still beside Lieg, Faki and Rito on each side, all asked in confused unison. She then quickly distanced herself from Lieg and replied “Ahem…I believe further discussion on this matter can go another time”, Lieg replied “...Sure”, “Infidelity... so not right daddy” as Ulia apparently switched her places from where Howywee’s and Tetso was. Holding on to Lieg's arms she looked into his eyes as they slowly reverted back to the original color of gold, while still holding on her hands began heating up. Lieg then while forcing a calm expression to hide the pain said, “Sweetheart we don’t have to pretend to be father and daughter
All four elders remain silent as a calm smirk appears on Lieg’s face. Their faces said it all 'appealing', which is understandable at this once in a lifetime offer they all heard of the benefits of each and every one of the pills that were offered. (A tier 6 Pure yang revitalizer pill would be perfect, in rejuvenating my old bones, Qi, and improved mana reserves), (A tier 5 Bone Mana breaker pills can increase the The bodies recovery rates as well as to bring the body to its optimum level of Mana and vitality Some say it even has the effect of Restoring your youth by a whole decade while increasing your level by 3 stars.), (But the most appealing is the soul quenching pill which can single handedly break any cultivator to the level of master and those in master to help breach the bottleneck of grandmaster In a single night…although I heard process is horrific on the mind and body as the pill, causes the body to go through a force metamorphosis, high risk high rewards in is deser
With her face bright red and a small bruise visibly swelling to the right side of her head “Why are you making it sound like we’re a bunch of senile children, we have played major contributions in the village!” Lady Misuki protested. Tetso, who at this point was done with her babbling, stared in her direction, "Huuh!" She froze up, but not only her as his aura only Is enough to put all of them in their place if he gets serious which is not surprising as he is the only three star Intermediate rank Great Master in the village. (He was always at least two levels higher than us when we were training together within this whole events he managed to breakthrough to not only the great master level but already three stars in, Most of us are only close to reaching great master rank I’m already at the earliest stage of great master…And I’m not even factoring if he releases his seal) Elder Lenil thought as he clinches his fist. Tetso continued “Even if everything you do is for the benefit of t
While the four elders were quibbling with each other, all sense of the main topic that they were arguing about had gone through the window and now they were just nitpicking at things that they'd held back while they were living in the village. But slowly getting up from the sand were the younger villagers who were unconscious as they started waking up to the sight of the usually quiet normal elders or the loud and vulgar elders, were now cussing out each other which normally happens behind their backs, not in public. “What’s going on with them?” One asked “I thought they always tried to make it appear that they have a united front “Another added “Yeah, and this is the loudest of ever heard Lady Misuki’s voice”. One of them who was awake the whole time started grumbling to the other that this all started from seeing Howywee's status, (All right then... can't say I didn't give them time to bicker with each other) Lieg thought to himself. He scratched his head moving towards them w
"Now it's not the time for bickering amongst each other, you remember how they raided our village searching for that bloodline... the people, woman, children... we're already in a situation where an entire Kingdom wants us dead do you think we can stay in this position if every civilization on this continent wants to wipe us out?" Lady Misuki asked as the electrical currents flowed through the glowing gems on her dress a royal blue Kameez long and gold-colored tunic piece of clothing up to her thighs with v-shaped openings chaaks on both sides below the waist. A gems studded shalwar that's loose flowing down equivalent to her cover her feet sandals, complimenting her mature body slender waist, big breasts, and a yan tattoo on the left side of her neck you would not expect this beauty from a woman her age and now fixed with a stern expression across her face forehead bleeding from the wound before bright like her maroon colored eyes, and her black flowing hair going down to her waist
Back when the continent was still young the idea of civilization having clashes in their culture and beliefs, was practically unheard of due to the distance between each other on the vast continent. But even then before the demons tried to conquer the continent, humans of all varieties even back then had one common enemy, the subjection of the oldest species on the continents some consider them deities spirits or simple gods born from the Mana Vein in its purest form, their powers could have both outshined the Demon Lord and the holy Trinity God Heroes. People who possess a dwindle of their blood within their bodies are considered Demi, being of such bloodline many of their offspring were considered 'being' meant to be worshiped wherever they came from, but that all changed after a certain individual… who would be known as the 'Awaken Harbinger Primordial of Chaos' came to being and caused the Era of Void one of the first extinction events to occur on the continent in recorded history
But after those words as simple as they may have seemed had left Ulia's lip, Rizette's mood had a subtle shift, her aura, as well as the air became chilled tilting her head down and allowing her bangs to shade over her face. Her eyes covered, her fist clenched she then exhaled and rose her head high to the sky and made a low pitch whistle as visible cold water vapor made a waving trail from her mouth in the hot desert. "Muy lejos" Rizette whispered As the air around them stopped, all motion ceased, like a ripple in the water, small icy winds slowly spread, floating across the sands upon Hoku as all you could hear was a deafening sound of his heart beating, as the I see when came close enough to touch Hoku's feet. (Sfx Spurt) Like party confetti being burst out his, organs, bones, Blood, muscles, his very flesh, was ripped, torn, and torn apart unrecognizable and irreversibly shredded his very being, painting the sand red he died... but while making the red deserts extra crimson his
Lieg, being stared at by her, got back on track as his tone shifted back to normal after clearing his throat."Ahem...The fire ashra body type is quite unique for an augmenter, it allows the person to completely coat the outside layer of the skin into an entire powerful elemental base magic similar to how the chief is able to completely turn himself in to metal, while she may be able to enchant a few jewels it'll never be for her. I'm sure by now you would have noticed, but you saw her trying her best to grasp things that seem easy to you that's basically because you keep trying for the love of tradition but they'll never be able to even mirror half of what you can do".Lady Misuki stared at him angered how she could not counter anything that he spoke so far, as she thought. (How much does he know, but how could he)As she thought of where he could have gotten this information, her eyes were slowly focusing on Mi Mi, who was sweating cold guilt. (My stupid granddaughter, huh), as she
