White Knight Chronicles of the Queens Blade
ESKK: Well new chapter let's begin people.
*Insert White Knight Chronicles Opening the Travelers
-Oh so quietly-
The song began as the scene showed a sky view of the Vance Estate from a large hill before it was followed by the Queen's Capital.
-Eyes of the angels open wide, Aria-
The scene then showed Elven Forest, and then the Dwarven Mountains as dwarves were seen mining while the Elves were farming before topping it off with and airship flying away with flapping wings like a bird.
-To a world yet unseen by you-
The scene showed a young Leina walking around the Vance Estate with Elina before passing by her mother's armor and stopping. It was followed by an image of Risty in her burned down home from childhood, and finished with Claudette looking at her mother's grave.
-Arise! The journey's begun!-
The song began to pick up as it showed Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan with their guild while holding their weapons of choice before images of passed members appeared to be replaced with Leina, Risty, and the Floor Guardians. Soon the White Knight appeared with its eyes flashing to life as the scene with each guitar drop changed to different images and locations all filled with adventures and battles. It then topped off with Aster, Kaguya, and Dilan facing Solaris and Kira in mortal combat. It was then joined with Leina and Claudette glaring each other down ready to fight as well with Leina holding a spinning top like item and Claudette holding a card in one hand and a top of her own hanging from her belt.
The scene then hit the max when it showed The White Knight facing the Sun King while the Moon Maiden and Dragon Knight faced the Black Knight. It then followed up with showing Aster without his helmet as images of the White Knight in action flashed behind him before ending with the White Knight drawing its blade.
-Heaven is spilling her heart around-
The scene started with Aster as he was doing his day to day stuff from reading reports, accepting Quests, and just relaxing with a map of Gainos behind him. Then Kaguya walked behind him and patted his shoulder as it changed again.
-Open your palm and see what you've found-
The scene then showed Kaguya with her daily activities as she was working on strategies, training, and just plain hunting for game. Then Dilan jumped on her back smiling like the goofball he was.
-Somewhere in the fog, a moment we forgot-
The scene showed Dilan running around in a slight panic before showing him in battle spinning his spear around before topping it off with him snoozing a bit. It then showed Leina walking behind him with her hands behind her back as she smiled a bit.
-Remember my darling you're loved but you're lost-
The scene showed Leina walking about a bit before showing her training and with her sword as it seems she was training with Aster as he showed her sword play before it changed again.
-Raising your hands to a beckoning sky-
The scene showed General Kira walking forth with the Black Knight behind her as she glared from her armor that made it seem she was a man and not a woman.
-Splinters of light are burning your eyes-
It then showed Solaris sitting on his throne, casting is spells in battle, and even playing with his Knights Ark bored out of his mind. It then showed images of the enemies from Solaris to Kira in her armor, Welbellia with her magic active petting her familiar Hades bug, then to Melona, followed up by Airi, then Menace, then Liliana, and finally topped it off with his own floor guardians who protect Valgander.
-Wounded and blind-
The scene then showed Leina in a noble lady dress and Aster in a suit of his own as they danced around a bed of water in a waltz each step taken causing the water to glow.
-And pining for… The gaze of a mother-
The dance was accompanied by images of Aster's new and old friends as well as the warriors who would be both friend and enemies during the Queens Blade Tournament. It then tipped off to Kira in a showgirl dress of the time as she was dancing in a similar manner to Kara in the original White Knight Chronicles. Btu as she danced the scene switched between herself in the armor accompanied by Solaris and Claudette fighting Aster, Leina, Kaguya, and Dilan switch back and forth constantly.
-No, no you can't go back-
The scene then showed images of each Guardian as they were either arguing, laughing, or fighting before showing the same thing for the Flames of Yshrenia own Guardians.
-Don't you dare and try to go back-
The scene then began as Aster was walking with Kaguya and Dilan as they glared upon the oncoming foes as it began a montage.
-Step by step you're all alone! Walking towards tomorrow-
The scene hit the peak as it montaged to every monster in this world as the scene then topped off with Aster stabbing the dagger into the slot on his gauntlet, Kaguya pulled the arrow on her Knights Ark, and Dilan with the Dragon themed lasso belt wrapped around his waist making a Kamen Rider Pose. "VERTO!" They called out and in turn summoning their Knights.
-I follow you beyond the clouds-
The scene showed Aster raising his left hand summoning his Knight Armor. It then showed Dilan crossing his arms over his head before bringing them down as his Dragon Knight Armor rose up behind him. Then it showed Kaguya bowing for a moment before the armor rose up revealing the Moon Maiden while Kaguya stood up straight like a magician of sorts.
-I search for your love in my dreams-
The scene then split into three as it showed the White Knight ready as it slashed through a Grand Gigas. It then exploded behind him bested by the Pale Warrior.
-Seeking west end wind, East End Sea-
The scene then showed Dilan in his Dragon Knight Incorruptus armor as he stabbed through a giant frog creature with his Trident ending it with ease.
-We have one, one destiny-
The scene was soon followed up with Kaguya in the Moon Maiden Incorruptus as she fired an arrow torts the moon which then returned but as a thousand magical arrows that rained down upon her foes taking out many of them at once.
-The traveler walks alone searching for me-
The scene then showed the three Knights facing down the forces of Solaris and his new Yshrenian Empire as the three took a battle stance. Solaris then put on his Sun Kings mask ark as Kira had her Ark out before putting on the mask and drawing the blade respectively. "Verto." The two villains invoked as they summoned their Knights and in turn the eyes flashed to life while they took a battle stance.
-Never end-
The song began to reach its end as soon the scene showed two new knights one clearly female and the other being the basic male build up as the female one shared a resemblance to Leina's mother Maria. The armor was one that had a mask over the humanoid face as well as a sword and shield in her hands but also had parts of Leina's own armor mixed in as well.
The opposing one was clearly based to be a leader of sorts with Thunder striking around it as it glared at the new Knight. Soon all the Knights were gathered as what was once five Knights had become seven before they soon charged at each other to being a grand battle.
The song came to an end as the airship from the beginning flew off to the distance torts parts unknown. But to this a new Chronicles has begun… a new war a brand new White Knights Chronicles.
*End OST
(Start Dilan, Tomoe, and Shizuka)
The ship after a long travel had made port as right now the trio was enjoying some ice cream as they shared a table together. 'I never thought I'd enjoy ice cream again.' Dilan thought as he sat with the two girls as Shizuka was in a bathing suit. "So how is ice cream Shizuka?" Dilan asked as Shizuka smiled.
"It's amazing! Yum!" Shizuka cheered as she enjoyed her frozen treat.
"Um Dilan and Shizuka why are you two dressed like that?" Tomoe asked as Dilan was also in a swim suit.
"We're at a beach what else should I wear?" Dilan asked as he looked to Tomoe who was more confused. "Long story short it's comfortable and breathable in locations like this." Dilan said gesturing to the hot tropical heat and location.
"I see however I can't afford to lose focus on my mission I made a vow after all." Tomoe said to which Dilan shrugged.
"If you only focus on one thing you'll miss the bigger picture and everything around you." Dilan said as Tomoe heard these wise words.
"He's right you're too serious." Shizuka said crossing her arms a bit before she had it. "I know! You should try a new outfit too." Shizuka said looking to Tomoe by leaning over the table as Dilan swore if they had a camera here someone would snap a picture of Tomoe's well rounded ass cheeks.
"Huh?" Tomoe asked confused as Shizuka then smirked.
"You can win any battle if you know enough about your enemy." She said giving an even better picture moment. "Everyone in Hinomoto knows that." Shizuka said causing Tomoe to blush even more.
"That much is true." Tomoe said to which Shizuka smirked.
"When in Rome do as the Romans do." Shizuka said before giving a thumbs up. "Trust me To-mo-e." She said as she smirked further. "You may even catch a guy's eyes." She said gesturing her eyes to Dilan who was eating his ice cream causing Tomoe to blush further.
(Later Dressing Room)
Tomoe walked out of the curtains in a modest one piece as Dilan sat with Shizuka observing this. "So how about this?" Shizuka asked as she presented the suit to them.
"Uh try again." Shizuka gagged as soon Tomoe vanished into the curtains again. IT wasn't long till she came back out with a two piece.
"Um this one is a little." Tomoe began but Dilan cut her off.
"It's getting there but it's just not you." Dilan said as Shizuka nodded.
"Agreed." Shizuka said causing Tomoe to gasp a bit in shock.
Tomoe then vanished back into the curtains and soon she came out in a small two piece to which Dilan gave a thumbs up. "Perfect!" He called out causing Tomoe to gasp.
"I agree." Shizuka said smiling to this in response.
"But how does this help me in the tournament?" Tomoe asked to which Dilan was confused.
"Wait helping in the tournament she told me you wanted a guy's opinion on trying this stuff on." Dilan said as Shizuka gasped in guilt as Tomoe was not pleased.
"Shizuka." Tomoe scolded while blushing till a voice was heard.
"Ye fighters who wish to enter the Queen's Blade Tournament we right now have a battle between Kaguya the Silver Goddess and her opponent Nyx Master of Flames." Came the voice of Marianne causing the trio to go wide eyed.
"Kaguya!" Dilan called out as the trio ran over to the window to watch the battle.
(Kaguya vs Nyx)
Kaguya was avoiding Nyx fire based attacks and countering with ice magic and ice infused arrows. Kaguya was a master markswoman as she fired upon Nyx who was attacking her back. "Sorry but I'm in a rush to get out of this." Kaguya said as she then avoided Furikura with ease. "I have friends who wish to see me so please be gone." Kaguya said as Nyx glared at her.
"Don't underestimate me you cat eared bitch!" She roared out only for Kaguya to block the attack with a reflection spell. She soon was atop a tree as she took aim at Nyx.
"Dress Break Shot!" Kaguya invoked as soon the arrow took flight with magic tailing behind it. It soon hit Nyx and Furikura to which Nyx ended up stripped naked to which Kaguya smirked and held back a perverted smile to the downed and naked Nyx. Furikura tried to go for Kaguya only to be stomped on and stabbed with an arrow as she glared at the monster.
"I only do tentacles if the one I sleep with has a familiar or power that allows such a thing." Kaguya scolded as she glared. "And even then I have limits." She confirmed before she began to walk away.
"And the Winner is Kaguya!" Marianne cheered as Kaguya did as small wave while walking away while putting on a top hat she had acquired some time ago that hid her cat ears perfectly.
(Back with the Trio)
"So that's the Queen's Blade." Dilan said before smiling a bit. "Tough competition this year." Dilan confirmed as he smiled to Tomoe just before her bikini top fell off causing her to gasp.
(Meanwhile with Aster, Leina, and Risty)
A day or so pass as the trio reaches the mountain path, and came up to the same spot that Aster meet Leina and Risty the first time, as he looked around and said, "This is where we all meet, look like it got fix up as I don't see where the fight that took part here."
Risty shrug and said, "Sometimes is happen, I don't know why, but it does, but wait tell we come over this pass."
Leina look to Risty and said, "What over the pass?"
Risty didn't say as they walk up the hill road and see into the horizon and down below as they saw a great wall as Leina said, "That is right, the border of the Queen's domain."
"And with it opponents left and right for the Queens Blade." Aster said knowing once they cross it's going to get a lot harder the closer they go to the Queen's Blade.
(Later at the border)
As the trio stood way back from the crowd and wagons that were coming in as Risty said, "Looks like Claudette hasn't been back here. That's a relief."
"How can you tell?" Leina asked to which Risty pointed up at the flags and sees an empty flag pole as Risty said, "There no sign of the general banner."
"Looks can be deceiving." Aster said while walking a bit surprising Risty. "She may have anticipated us coming here so we need to plan accordingly." Aster said before smirking a bit.
"And you have an idea over what I arranged?" Risty asked looking to Aster.
"Either plan will work in all likely hood Claudette won't approach us knowing that I'm traveling with you." Aster said considering what had happened at the Vance estate Claudette will enter battle with Aster in due caution.
"OK then let's use the way I arrange, using Leina's name as I act like the adviser, and you'll be the bodyguard, with the armor and your Gantlet you can pass for one easy."
"Is that going to work?" Leina asked no doubt Aster may have anticipated Claudette being a fool and challenging him regardless.
Risty shrugs and said, "Who know, let's leave it up to fate." Risty pull out a gold coin and said, "Heads we go as plan."
Aster raise an eyebrow to that as she didn't say tails or anything for not heads as Risty flip it, Aster's eyes pay attention to the coin itself as it seem things around him slow down as he watch the coin flip, as he sees one side heads, and the other side… heads.
Aster snatch the coin in midair and said, "A double sided coin Risty, really?" He held it up to show one side head and the other side heads as well as Leina had the same look like Aster as Risty took the coin back and said, "That means the luck is always good. Isn't that great?"
"No it's a lie," Leina said as Aster calmly follow it up with, "Can't cheat fate, or else it comes and bite you in the ass."
Risty didn't care as she flip the coin to Leina as she caught it and Risty said, "Keep it maybe it can bring you some good luck for you."
"No thank you, I don't accepted money from a thief," Leina said as she was about to throw it back until Risty said, "Money alone has no value, it's what you do with it, and right now you and that little coin has more in command than you think. You should keep that in mind, another friendly advice from the Benevolent Bandit of the Wild. Listen, you can give it back once you're a good fighter."
"Stop, don't tease," Leina said as Risty laugh and said, "I'm not teasing you. Come let go, the town awaits."
"And with it Kaguya she's waiting on the other side after all." Aster said as they got ready to cross the border.
"What no asking what's in the middle?" Risty asked wondering why she was expecting him to ask a question like that.
"So you can try to shove my bead between your breasts?" Aster countered as Risty smirked.
"Maybe if you can manage to take me to bed latter." Risty teased to which Aster ignored a bit.
"Despite your muscles that I shall add seems to work for you in the looks department let's face facts, you can't handle what I'm packing." Aster said to which Risty glared at him for that one.
(Meanwhile inside the walls)
Claudette was watching outside the Window as she saw Aster, Leina, and Risty outside knowing full well that once they pass the border they will be harder to catch. Claudette saw Risty using the Vance name to try and get through the border as from what she saw Aster was passing himself off as a body guard while Risty was acting like an Advisor. Claudette looked closely and saw on Leina's lower back to the right was a symbol of some sort of black cat while Risty also had it on her thigh. Claudette has seen many slave branding in her time as General but these marks were not slave branding.
Claudette concluded that they were marks of great importance or honor in Aster's homelands as slave brands had the slave masters face on it somehow. Claudette then spoke as she saw the guard leave. "So you will use our name but only when it serves you." Claudette said as Aster seemed to be on guard like any bodyguard.
(With the trio)
Risty looked to Leina as she knew the young Vance girl was on edge. "Don't be nervous as long as Claudette isn't here we should be fine." Risty said as Aster put on his helmet.
"If he is we can take her." Aster said knowing Claudette will be cautious for their inevitable round two.
That was when Leina noticed something at the window as all she saw was an empty window. "What are you doing? Let's go!" Risty said as Aster followed.
"Wait a minute." Leina said but they were already leaving.
(With Claudette)
"All this for an adventure." Claudette said with her eyes closed as behind her was an elven woman with green hair and barley any cloths as the only thing covering her gender was what looked like a thong made from a snake which looked quiet alive.
"Sorry but you have to do this." The woman said as Claudette opened her eyes to turn her eyes to her.
"Not according to the orders of the count. He command that she be brought home yet you let her leave." Claudette said as the woman smirked.
"I have an idea don't give me orders please." The woman said as a warning to Claudette.
"I'm not aware of having given you any." Claudette said as she walked away.
"I am Echidna the Veteran Mercenary. I took this job but how I handle her is up to me." Echidna said as Claudette was at the window once more.
"How you handle her?" Claudette asked not liking that tone.
"Yes and both her and that little armored friend of hers looks positively delicious." Echidna said in a sensual tone as she had seen both of them.
Claudette looked out the window as she had only one thought that came to mind. "What a fool." She said as who the fool was is currently unknown.
(Inside the town)
"We made it out of Vance territory at last," Leina said happily as Risty look to her and said, "You sound like a little kid." "You really did pull it off, thank Risty," Leina thank her and ignoring she was called sounding like a kid.
"That right I pull this off, but Aster did play his part very well to add to things getting here faster," Risty said giving Aster some credit as well.
"We work as a team to get here, so let's keep sticking with it," Aster said to them being true, as Risty came up with the plan, Leina using her family name even though it left a bitter taste, and Aster may have play body guard but still pull off a mean look with our without his armor.
"Well this rings puts us with the same group so we might as well for now." Risty said as she also owed him for what he did for those kids before.
"Come on we need to fine Kaguya." Aster said as they began their search for their shared friend.
(Later down the street)
The trio began to arrive at an inn to which they saw Kaguya waited outside with her bow strapped to her back with her quiver dressed in her Hachiman set as she saw them and waved. "Took you all long enough." Kaguya greeted suggesting she may have been waiting here for some time now.
(Later inside)
The group had acquired their lodgings to which they had to split the price a bit seeing as the guilds Gold was useless and thus they had to exchange some of it and their jewels for real gold. Luckily it's an easy fix with dungeon running but despite this it's better to save what they got.
Once in the room they dropped off their things on the floor as Leina said, "I'm so tired." Leina sat on a bed to get a moment to rest.
"It's cheap so going with two beds will be efficient for us." Kaguya said to which Aster agreed despite some possible misgivings to it.
"Yeah we can discuss who would be sharing a bed with later, but for now come on." Risty said taking charge confusing Leina a bit.
"To where?" Leina asked as he got up and followed with Aster and Kaguya following close behind her.
(Scene Break Fire of Yshrenia HQ)
(Lime Warning I repeat Lime warning)
Solaris was in his bed chambers after giving his orders. Airi was to learn all she can from his already existing Wraith who heads up the maids who guard him directly. Meanwhile Melona and the Swamp Witch would train to become Floor Guardians before Menace and Lilianna head out to Amara. Right now the city was already being constructed with a town nearby it already that had acted as Kira's hometown prior to their transportation.
Speaking off Kira when she had called him brother it was truth. Kira and Solaris were siblings both online and in Real Life. Problem was his sister in Real Life hated men as it mainly involved a bad boyfriend and a shit father rotting in prison. Kira was her only support through it considering the divorce of their parents prior as when Solaris in Real Life moved out Kira followed after him.
Solaris knew his sister had wilds for him but it was actually romantic feelings for him. She could never act upon them due to society and the fact incest was a taboo that included jail time for breaking. But as Kira was here with him riding his hardened rod allowing it to bust through her virginity already she moaned and cried out as she bounced her body up and down upon it seeing the cock go in and out of her. "Oh my God we broke the ultimate taboo." Kira moaned as she smiled to her brother as he looked to her.
"I know." Solaris said as he read many incest porn in real life but never did he think he would be in such a situation. What made it more was that normally Solaris would care very much on how bad this was but ever since he arrived here much of his personality had changed even his sense of right and wrong and his sense of taboos.
"Wanna make a baby right now?" Kira offered as she leaned back while riding her brother's cock. "We can make one here and now." She continued rubbing her belly where her womb was located. "I'd be happy to carry our child Solaris." Kira said to which Solaris sighed.
"First we have a job that must be done you need to head to the Necromancer we had gotten in contact with, then head to Amara post haste." Solaris ordered as Kira shrugged.
"Ok... but after shooting our load in and on me." She said leaning to his face before they shared a kiss to which Solaris wondered if he was a bad person, his character was a bad person, or if this all just a side effect of sorts.
"Very well." Solaris said before he grabbed his sister's hips and slammed her down causing her to cry out as she felt her brother's cock hit the end of her womb as he then shot his load into her.
"Nice one." Kira said getting up and grabbing a cup. She then sat down on her knees legs spread as she allowed him semen to go into a cup. She then sniffed it as the semen nearly reached the rim. She then began to drink it down in one gulp before finishing. With a small burp she smiled and licked her lips of any stray strands. "And delicious." She added as she smiled to this.
"Incest taboo it makes me so hot and wet." She said as now she had a chance to enact her fantasies and screw anyone who disagreed with it.
(Later)
Kira was now covered in semen as she held her brother luckily having washed and cleaned it up enough to do so. Her leg was wrapped around him as she rested a bit with her arms wrapped around his torso that her head was using as a pillow. Her body had war and runic tattoos on it as she was hoping to get some piercings soon.
When their plan for conquest was finished Kira looked forward to many more sex with her brother despite the taboo of it.
(END LIME I REPEAT END LIME)
(Scene Break Town)
The quartet was café of sort as Risty said to the trio, "One things for sure, I'm glad we haven't had any trouble so far."
They had spent the entire day educating Leina on what to bring and not to bring on the journey she planned on going on. During this Aster and Kaguya had made their way to the guild site and performed low level jobs. Seeing as they were bronze rank adventurers they needed to go the Overlord rout of promotion. Luckily it was short ones such as catching a pick pocket and the likes. It wasn't much but it was a start at least.
Leina nods to what Risty said and said to her, "Me too, how about you guys."
She looked to Aster and Kaguya who looked around as Kaguya felt as if they were being watched somehow. The two leaders were sitting to the side of them as Kaguya then said, "Hard to say, I got a weird feeling about something for a while, even now still."
Sitting by in the back of the Café watching them is Echidna the Veteran Mercenary, as the dark skin elf women look over to them watching them without them noticing so far, as it seem Kaguya could be sensing her out which is somewhat surprising to her but not much as she had her fair share of pray sensing her out before.
Leina look to Aster and asked, "Could it be someone, like Melona?"
"If it is her or someone else, we can handle it, as me and Kaguya handle our fair share of assassins and monsters," Aster said as he knew him and Kaguya could do it as they handle rogue characters and such, and beside any type of poison they may use, good luck with that as they were resistant to it, hard one to get that as they raise their character anti-bodies to do so, two weeks with a weak character sucked balls, but it payed off against people using poison and other environments… and he also hope it also transferred to them as well when they gain their new bodies.
Risty looked at him and said, "Well keep your guard up, even if your strong, it doesn't mean that someone is targeting all of us."
"We'll keep that in mind." Kaguya said as Risty then leaned back a bit to relax.
"Well then you helped me so I helped you so I guess that means we're pretty much even now." Risty referring to Leina who helped her back at Vance Castle and Aster who got some workers fixing the Church and teaching the children that odd yet effective means of fishing and hunting a bit, lightening her load of helping them a bit.
"Yeah and thank you." Leina said as Aster then spoke.
"So what's next where are you heading off to?" Aster asked as he wondered what Risty plan was now that they are in the Royal Domain sense they did walk about splitting up but she'll come to the guild for help if needed.
"Straight to the Queens Capital Gainos although I might take a little detour. Maybe I might stop be the Amarariceki in the desert." Risty said as Aster looked.
"Sounds like ruins if a desert is involved." Aster said as Kaguya spoken up saying, "And possible a desert temple with hidden treasures." Risty nodded.
"That's right, and they also say there's a princess Spirit who will curse whoever you like." Risty said as Aster wonder if there were Mummy creatures in this world or undead guardians in temples or tombs as he thought back to the old and classic game of Skyrim.
"Oh that sounds really scary." Leina said getting a thoughtful look. "But fun!" Leina called out wanting to go as unaware to them a Snake was slithering on the floor. "Risty... I don't suppose I can come with you can I?" Leina asked as she looked to Risty.
"Sorry no we'll have to go our separate ways from here on, we agreed on that," Risty said as Leila look down and said, "Oh right. *GASP!"
Leina gasp as the two guild leaders look to her with Aster said, "What's wrong?!"
Suddenly they hear a hiss as everyone went a little blue, Kaguya knew she and Aster can't be poison by snakes… but they are very creepy to her as she scoot back away as someone walk past her quickly, as she took notice of something, with Aster lean in and said, "A snake, what it's doing here? Did someone lose a pet snake or is this a wild one?"
Aster thought as he looked at the snake carefully as it looked at him as it show its tongue and act in a strange way to say, as he thought it maybe someone pet seeing how well tam it is, Leina and Risty were looking very sickly blue by this, unaware someone walk behind Risty and took something from her, as Leina said, "Aster, can you just get it away from us?"
"Why, it's not bothering, from I can tell, seem friendly enough," Aster said as he reach into a side pouch and pull out, a small brown folded paper with something inside as he open it and show a frog a bit dry looking on the skin, as he lifted it up and held it out.
The snake took notice of this as Aster held it up to the snake to show a bit of a peace offering, as the snake saw it and soon lunged at it, catch it in its mouth and swallowing it whole fast as he said, "No harm from it see."
Soon enough when someone past him the snake soon slither off the table as aster follow it as surprise for a snake to move that fast off a table and to the ground, but what surprise him big time, was someone was showing some ass before the snake wrap itself up around it, as Aster blink to that as he follow it up and saw… a sexy dark elf lady with wild green hair, as she suddenly look back at him with a smile and… a wink before walking out.
Aster mind was blank for a moment, as he was feeling a boner coming on, as Kaguya eyebrow twitch to that as she saw that and something else as well.
"That was strange, how did you do that Aster?" Leina asked as Aster looked at her and said, "Do what now?"
"Knew it was… okay and feed it a frog?" Leina asked as Aster said, "Oh, well when I was younger I was with a group of kids and we sort of had a pet corn snake, we each pet it and feed it and I learn more about snakes during so."
The real answer, in grade school he had a crazy teacher having a corn snake as the classroom pet, and the entire classroom gotten use to the snake sense it was mostly harmless anyways.
"Well anyways I'm sure we'll meet each other soon again enough, as after all we are a part of their guild now," Risty said as Kaguya stood up and said, "Excuse me for a moment, I need to take care of some personal business."
She soon walk away from the table as Aster said, "Hurry back."
Risty stood up as well as she said, "Well I better head out as well, I'll pay for half of this, as this should cover me and Leina."
Risty said as she went for her money pouch but when she reach for it and grab nothing but air as she look and saw her money pouch was gone as she said, "What the? I've been robbed?"
"It must have been that woman that just left," Leina said as she look to the doorway with Aster and saw the woman was gone as he can guess, that sexy elf woman was long gone, as he shake his head of that thought as he reach around and said, "Well then I guess I will be paying for this then… great."
Risty look to him and was surprise to his reaction as she saw his money pouch was gone as well as she said, "We been had, that snake must have been hers!"
(Echidna)
As the dark elf woman walk down the streets with three money pouches in hand as she smile to this and said, "Seem quite easy to take these off those three. I don't see what the problem was."
*Thud!
An arrow came close to Echidna face as it nail very close to her as she quickly back up and look up to see Kaguya up on some roof as she had her next arrow ready as she release it, sending at the elf woman as she leap back to avoid it and soon ran off, with Kaguya giving chase.
Echidna ran across alleyways and pass shop stalls, with Kaguya following fast from above, keeping out of site from other people.
As Echidna reach an area where the upper area as cover in cloths, a perfect shady place to hid at until the area was clear… or so she thought as three arrows came shooting through h the cloth in front of Echidna as she was surprise by this, with the following of Kaguya follow through the same places where she shot the arrow, pretty much making an opening for her to jump through to rip open, as she was kneel down and grab one of the arrow she fire before, quickly ready it, pointed downwards at the Echidna as she said, "Move and this arrow will go at your little pet snake."
Echidna saw she was joking as she saw the lineup of the show at her crotch, where her snake resting at, as he also look at Kaguya position as she saw the other two arrow were close enough for her to get to and ready a new shot too if she fired, as she smile and said, "Bravo then, not many people could corner me like you have."
"And not many people would be stupid to steal someone without being caught, and not smart enough thinking they won't be hunted down ether, but I think you have something else in mind," Kaguya said as Echidna smile and said, "oh?"
"You target us out of many people in that café who were more loaded than use and more stupid to even notice their money were being lifted, to the first thought you could have target us because you love messing with people, while you kind of look the type, but that weapon of yours says otherwise," Kaguya pointed out the strange curved sword with the red tip, as she could guess that tip is lase with some sort of poison.
"So a 2nd thought came to me as you may try to catch one of our attention towards you, which did work to catch my… friends attention, but he was distracted by your naked ass as well you stolen from all of us who had money, so I had a 3rd thought," Kaguya said as she slowly aim the arrow up at Echidna to get her attention full on her.
"You target us because someone hired you, maybe not given all the detail of every person, not that they would know all of us anyways… didn't, they?" Kaguya smile at this as she said, "Well deduction, yes someone did hired me and yes they didn't quite give me every detail of every people, other than one."
"For what purpose anyways, and who was your target?" Kaguya said as Echidna look at her and said, "My, aren't you demanding."
Suddenly an arrow shot by her face, with a bit of her getting trip off, and a small part of her skin got cut, drawing little blood, as Kaguya quickly had the next arrow ready as quickly as she fired the arrow as she said, "That shot was just a centimeter short of making a huge cut on your face, this next one will be place in your neck artery, slowly bleed you out, if you don't answer me."
"Oh scary, alright then, I was hired to capture and return the Vance girl back to her home, she was my target, with extra pay to take care of the male, but I decided not to anyways dealing with the extra work and trouble, and beside he nice enough to feed my little snake here," Echidna said as she rub the head of her snake as it hiss a bit.
"Then why did you rob us, if anything, that just make you a target, as if we take this up to some guard they may know of Leina and try to take her, but there are more of us to make sure that doesn't go that way, so it pretty much showing proof if we did get rob, which would be none as guard don't take the words of people seriously," Kaguya said as she seen how guard work in this world mostly, even in this place as she thought, as she went on saying, "So it would be mostly if we saw you, we would be attack you for pay back but then again it could end as we're the bad people."
Echidna nods a bit as she said, "That the general idea, even if you bested me, many people will see you attack first while I just stood by and got hurt a bit."
"So what the reason?" Kaguya asked again as Echidna smile and said, "It's to get that Vance girl to enter a prize match, quick easy money, if she knows how to fight, which I do know thanks to her sister of hers, she could win a few fights with some wannabes."
"So you can get here there then? Being you're not a wannabe yourself as I can guess," Kaguya said as Echidna said, "Is it that easy to figure out?"
"Yes is it… but I had another idea," Kaguya said as she stood up and pointed her bow at the ground, putting away the arrow and as she reach behind her and tossing something to Echidna fast, as she caught it quickly as she look in her hand to see… as ring as Kaguya said, "I want to hire you, with the three bag of money you did stolen as a down payment."
"Oh now you're an interesting one." Echidna said with a smirk as she saw this.
"Mercenaries work for the highest bidder right?" Kaguya asked to which Echidna agreed.
"Perhaps but I normally take jobs that interest me." Echidna said but Kaguya disregarded that for now.
"Then I'll be blunt Leina is naive she grew up in the laps of luxury thus she has no clear clue of what it means to be a warrior." Kaguya said while glaring some more. "I am going to show her what it means to be a warrior with basics." Kaguya said to which Echidna smirked in response.
"For a Warrior of no name... you seem to have experience." Echidna said but Kaguya glared at her I response.
"Do you accept the job or not?" Kaguya asked to which Echidna shrugged.
"If this is the down payment then where is the rest?" Echidna asked to which Kaguya silently pointed to the side wall that Echidna looked upon in turn and saw what began their conversation to begin with. Echidna then smirked as she that she and Kaguya were like minded. "Oh you are just a treat." Echidna said as Kaguya had just made this far more interesting.
(Later that afternoon at the Inn Kitchen)
Aster wash dishes long and hard, after removing his armor enough, with Leina as he had a lot of plates on his side as Leina saw this and said, "You working very hard, and doing thing with ease."
"I was careless and lost my gold thus we need to get it back somehow." Aster said knowing his guild had jewels but they needed to wait on those till they have a good enough name so questions on its acquisition won't come to question.
"He's right, possession is 9/10th of the law. It's my fault for being careless enough to let her take it." Risty said as she sat on the table looking over the poster.
"Well any ideas how we can get out?" Aster said as Kaguya was still MIA.
"Well, well, at night there's a gambling den." Risty said all of a sudden to which Aster knew.
"Gambling?" Aster asked as that was a risky play... but magic made it a game change to the casters favor if he or she is not caught.
"Which mean, their safe would be loaded," Risty said to them as Aster and Leina should have figure, stealing would be on her mind.
"Risty, you know you can't steal," Leina said as she walk up to her before Leina could say anything else Risty said to her, "We can't get out if we don't have money, that mean no journeys for you."
Aster knew she was right and this could be bad for his long term goals. One of them forging the name of the Soldiers of HOLY into the history of this world after learning who this other group from his world were. Sure his guilds vaults have literal mountains of gold and jewels but the gold was useless as currency here thus he preferred to save it for later
"Well then we should earn the money then…" Leina trail off as she sees the poster that Risty was looking at as she came up to it and said, "What this?"
"Prize fighting," Risty said as Leina asked, "And money is the prize right?" "Yeah?" Risty said as she wonder where Leina was going with this as she said, "Alright Me and Kaguya will fight, but Risty promise me."
Risty look at Leina as she said, "Promise me that we'll the money we'll win to continue our journey with us together."
Risty could not really say no to her right now with the look in Leina eyes as she said, "Fine then."
"Seems we've had similar thoughts." Kaguya said as she had opened the window and leaned in holding a similar poster.
"You went after the thief?" Aster asked to which Kaguya growled.
"She got away unfortunately." Kaguya said but Aster saw she was lying through her teeth.
"I see them we are out of options then." Aster said acting like he'd rather save prostitution as the absolute method of last resort. Truth is he knew Kaguya had a plan as it was about time Leina got a start on learning how to properly fight.
"Afraid so." Kaguya said knowing Aster was aware of her thought process after all.
(Scene Break that evening)
Kira was seen in her armor under a cloak walking through a cemetery. To most she was a male warrior but the truth was she was female and q competitor in the Queen's Blade. She was grateful to her brother's magic as she had ended up walking funny after sex. She knew she was still not pregnant no doubt it was a safe day when they did it. But despite this she was here for a mission.
From the shadows she followed after another cloaked figure who Kira saw a being of savage and sadistic glee. No doubt if she became her brother's right hand she would no doubt pull a Shappur on her and attempt to take her Knights ark. If rumor holds truth then there was a necromancer attempting to make an undead army here.
Kira was here to aid in that regard to an extent. These two were members of a destroyed cult of sorts thus Kira was going to offer them a place by Solaris side.
As she walked she waited and saw the cloaked woman open a secret path before walking down it. Once she did so Kira waited for a moment and then followed after her once it was clear.
Kira began walking down the steps as she allowed her footsteps to build up an echo. She cared now for the conversation but from what she gathered from the words it was similar to Overlord.
"Where you followed?!" The shocked old man obviously the necromancer was heard as Kira kept walking as the psychotic girl growled.
"Don't worry whoever it is will die!" She called out ready for anything. But then Kira walked out of the shadows as she ignored their conversation save for the important parts.
"The inhuman Elizabetha and the Necromancer Yagi I presume." Kira greeted as her armor still made her sound like a male even after removing the hood.
"Who are you?" Yagi asked as he glared at Kira.
"It is beneath my statues but I come to you as envoy of my Master and Emperor Solaria of Yshrenia." Kira said as she looked to these pawns.
"Yshrenia never heard of'em." Elizabeth said to which Kira let it be for now knowing one in this world had heard of them.
"Obviously we have remained hidden away after our Golden age ended with the mutual destruction. Of ourselves and the Athwani Empire." Kira explained using the lore of White Knight Chronicles to aid her tale. "We now intend to come back and bring about our Golden Age our Dogma era again in this modern world." Kira said as she glared at them.
"And how can you help us?" Yagi asked to which Kira scoffed.
"By testing you to see if you two are even worthy of my lords time. He's already taken notice thus he offers you minor aid till you are worthy of his favor." Kira said treating these pawns as they were in her eyes.
"So you think you can talk to us like that little boy." Elizabeth scoffed as she mistaken Kira for a male like other fools have.
"He knows where you can locate a magic user compatible with that trinket of yours." Kira said gesturing to the crown of wisdom in Elizabeth's hand.
"Oh now you're talking." Elizabeth said knowing she was a wanted fugitive.
"It's simple really we all help each other. You two cause chaos I this ritual and if you manage to destroy the town my lord will meet with you both." Kira said offering her black armored hand to them.
"I think we can work something out." Elizabeth said to which Kira smirked under her helmet.
'We'll see if you have what it takes swine.' Kira thought with a sinister tone to it.
(Scene break)
A light shining down in the ring that has mud on the floor, with Leina in it with a tight cloth wrap around her breast so they would not fall out easy.
As around a crowd in the darken area, yells out and cheers to the wrestlers, as Aster was at the bar edge look down at Leina as he said with an instructions tone to his voice, "You can do it Leina, just focus on the match."
With Leina she was also saying something similar to Aster, as she keep her mind focus on the match and 'fight'.
As the announcer shouted out to the crowd, "The newbie has quite a body, hu? That rack won't quit, and what an ass too!"
Leina blushes at this, as Aster kept observing the fight. Aster won't lie as he knew Leina's body was amazing as he knew so was Kaguya's game body. Her match was next after all. But despite this Aster felt off as if something was going to happen soon. He chose to wait for now as luckily if both Kaguya and Leina win they will be able to afford it.
Risty on the other side was watching Leina fight as well, as the snake elf women suddenly appeared from the shadow behind Risty and said, "Are you worried about her? How touching, even so that Pale Warrior and Cat Archer supporting her."
"What was that? You again." Risty growled as she knew this woman had stolen the money from them.
(In the Ring)
The starting bell rung as Leina took a battle stance against her opponent as Aster up at the bar took notice to the fact that most if not all of the viewers here were men. "Fight newbie." Leina's opponent taunted giving a 'bring it on,' gesture.
Leina charged at her opponent who dodged the attack as Aster swore up top that whatever God created this world must have put a lot of perverts here on purpose. Especially when some men were calling out for the girls to tear each other's cloths.
(With Risty and Echidna)
"Why would you be interested in people with no money?" Risty asked as the two leaned on the railing to watch the mud wrestling.
"Whatever do you mean?" Echidna asked as she watched the fight.
"I'm not going to go to the authorities over what happened just leave us be." Risty said while Echidna had a smirk on her face as Risty looked to the bar across the room and saw Aster with crossed arms simply observing.
"Well what makes you such a good sport?" Echidna asked as she looked to Aster knowing he may he in on Kaguya's scheme now and if not he may soon be.
"Perhaps thinking about the money kept here eh Risty Benevolent Bandit of the wild?" Echidna asked as Risty's violet eyes went wide.
(With Leina)
Leina charged at her opponent as the opponent dodged but Leina used the momentum to knock mud onto her opponent's crotch, chest, and face which the last of which she had to block giving Leina and opening. Leina then got behind her opponent before using sufficient force to knock down her opponent making her sprawled as people cheered for this. The opponent got up as she was covered in the mud while Aster looked at this wondering if it was better to rob the gambling hall instead. "You dumb bitch!" Leina's opponent roared as she was clearly angry at this.
'I can beat her.' Leina thought with a smirk as she knew she had to win since Aster wagered their gold on her and Kaguya.
(With Risty and Echidna)
Risty and Echidna were in the Vault as they saw the money in here money Risty can use on her own journey. "There's quite a bit of money here just the way I like it." Risty said with a smirk as Echidna smirked with her green painted lips.
"This is just pocket change there will be more than 12 time later." Echidna said as she smirked setting her trap like the snake she was.
"Tonight? Alright but what am I supposed to do?" Risty asked as she closed her eyes a bit.
"I'm glad you don't beat around the bush. It's about the young Vance lady your traveling with." Echidna said as what she offers is basically a fair trade in her opinion but it was herself and Kaguya who were getting the gold here.
(Scene Break Kaguya match)
Kaguya was in a two piece outfit while taking a battle stance ready for combat with a see through top over it that didn't cover her chest and what appeared to be pants that refused to cover her crotch area. Kaguya paid it no mind as she glared at her opponent.
"Bring it on kitty cat." She taunted as people were cheering the fight on.
"You asked for it." Kaguya said with a smirk before charging. Kaguya dodged under a swipe before with her claws sliced though her top. She didn't stop it there as she grabbed the girl by her waist and flipped her over with ease.
"Is that all?" Kaguya asked as the opponent glared at her.
"You cunt!" She roared out only for Kaguya to grab her by her arm and toss her aside. She wasn't done as she grabbed her hair and shoves her head into the mud. Kaguya began tearing her apart as her foes clothing was covering less and less.
The girl was soon in rags as Kaguya only had mud on her form but no injuries to which Kaguya made a bring it on gesture. "You dumb bitch!" She roared out as the woman roared out only for Kaguya to raise her bare and mud covered foot and slam it down on her foes head.
"That's mistress to you fuck toy." Kaguya scolded before pinning her. She then removed the last articles of clothing from her and held the up as a trophy leaving her foe nude as the crowd cheered her on.
(Later)
Kaguya was walking to the baths as she stopped by Echidna as they looked to each other. "It's done." Echidna said as Kaguya nodded and passed a coin poach to her.
"Then let's finish it." Kaguya said to which Echidna agreed with her money giver.
"Pleasure doing business with you." Echidna said before they too kept walking away as she passed Aster who was leaning on the wall with crossed arms.
"I know." Aster said calmly to which Kaguya nodded before they continued on their way. "Be sure to clean up after yourself." Aster said as Kaguya saw Aster cared for Leina in some way and was doing this for her own good like Kaguya was.
(Later at the Entry desk)
Leina step up to the desk and put down one gold coin and said, "Here's my entry fee one gold coin and after I win I'll be taking it back." As Leina walk off to the ring, Kaguya appeared and saw this play out.
"Oh dear. How adorable." Echidna said to which Kaguya nodded and walked off in turn just as Echidna's snake came out and hissed out.
(Scene Break Elizabeth and Kira)
The two were walking out of the pharmacy shop as Kira had their quarry hoisted over her shoulder to which Elizabeth smiled sadistically. "My you really know how to slaughter them." Elizabeth said as Kira glared out a bit. "Makes me so wet and honey my darling." Elizabeth said as Kira kept ignoring the psychotic woman.
"The mess we left will attract attention." Kira said knowing it was only a matter of time till someone finds their mess.
"Oh is that bad?" Elizabeth asked as Kira scoffed.
"No hopefully it will act as a bait and bring someone to really test you." Kira said as that was their best bet for now in her brother Solaris eyes. "After all once someone walks in undead is what they will meet." Kira said to which Elizabeth smirked to this.
(Later with Leina)
Leina was in the ring again as Aster saw the other person as it was the snake elf lady that Kaguya hired for this job here. Soon enough the down in the ring pit, the area was being filled with a clear golden liquid as Aster and Leina said, "Its oil."
The announcer shouted out to the crowd as he said, "The match you have been waiting for, out next challenger, Leina!"
The crowd cheer for her as the announcer went on saying, "She did well in her first bout almost as, good as she looks, but don't take your eyes for a bit as she takes on her undefeated opponent, Echidna!"
All the guys did wolf whistles and cheer out to Echidna as it seem she been here before and to the announcer saying, Undefeated, Leina might lose. Of course Aster was smart and chose not to wager anything which should help them in the long run if all goes smoothly.
Leina keep her eyes on Echidna as she thought, 'Echidna, she looks strong. I don't know if I can win this. No, I've done well so far, I have to win; even help Aster and Kaguya get the winnings.' She didn't know that Aster didn't bet this time as something was going on.
Echidna just smile to her as she says, "My goodness. You're such a cute girl."
Leina took it in a bad way it seem as Leina charged but her footing slip by the oil as she fell back and landed on her butt in the oil as some kick up onto her.
It seems not much oil did get on her but it seem she now knew she can't really run in it.
(Risty)
Risty stood in the back in the dark where not many people could see it if they look her way as she pay watch closely from where she was at and waited calmly.
(The ring pit)
"Watch your step, its slippery in there!" The announcer said as Aster look back at the match and Leina can recover quickly, but before she could Echidna came up to her in a friendly way and offer a hand as she said, "Here."
Leina didn't know what to make of it, and took the small jester of good faith, or so she thought as Aster saw a smirk on Echidna face as he said, "It's a trick!"
Leina could not hear him do to the crowd cheering loudly, with Echidna saw Aster lack of reaction as he knew what she was going to do but didn't mind it as she put her focus back on Leina and as she hear Leina said, "Thanks for that."
Echidna laugh a bit and said, "Stupid girl." She grab both Leina's arms and put them under hers and had them in a lock and squeeze down on them as Leina felt the pain and struggle to get out as Echidna brought Leina closer to her as their breast touch, but with the clothing on, it wasn't direct contacted but still made a lot of guys go off.
"There, there, that's a good girl. Now what?" Echidna said to her in a mocking tone.
(Risty)
Risty turn around and walk off somewhere as she vanish from site with no one paying attention to her as she left.
(The Ring pit)
Echidna lean in close to Leina as she stick her tong out and then lick a bit of oil that was on Leina face, as that seem to get her focus back, Leina correct her footing quickly and then push into Echidna lock grip which got her free to move her arms fully around her and then lifts the elf woman up.
Echidna didn't seem surprise by this as she asked, "What will you do next?"
Leina didn't know what else to do but drop down with Echidna in her arm as they both fell into the oil as Aster cover his eyes to this rookie mistake as he saw it knowing how oil works as he said, "Oh boy."
"Perfect let's get started." Echidna said as Leina then glared at her seeing the green haired woman was underestimating her. Echidna then slid between Leina's legs and got up and got Leina in a hold as Echidna was on Leina's back and help her head in a bit of a wrestling hold.
"So what do you think?" Echidna asked as she then linked her lips scooping up any oil around her mouth. Echidna then changed holds as she was now holding both of Leina's legs as Leina's face was in the oil. "Do you like how it feels?" Echidna said as this was causing Leina pain.
"I-It hurts." Leina cried out as she tried to think of a way out.
"Oh so you like this I'm so glad." Echidna said as she looked to Leina's face and smiled.
(With Aster)
Aster had a cringe look in his eyes, as it was hard for him to watch and not do anything as he just force himself to turn around, as Kaguya stood by him as she saw this and said, "You don't have to stay here you know."
"Maybe, I may can look away… but I can't just walk away, it's just…. Errr!" Aster growl at this as he just wanted this to stop, as his memory to the time of his real life flash in his mind, as him as a small child who just loved his, as he watches her mother working hard cooking food, before flashing over to her as a waitress in an almost very reviling uniform, working a part time job to get by no matter what it was, but it doesn't work out for her as men around grabbing at her as she cry and yell out to stop and he was peeking through a doorway with his eyes widen to this.
The masses of men cheered calling out for action and cloths tearing, something inside of aster started to come forth, as a cold wind came blowing, almost frosty as some of the men around felt chills with their breath showing, as their cheering stopped as the rest keep going.
Kaguya was surprise by this as she saw the frost forming around Aster, as there were other reason Aster was called the pale warrior, as it not because of the Pact he had of the White Knight, but the ice spell he uses, to some say he could be an ice wizard if he wasn't using shield and sword, to some say he turn his heart ice as cold as he wipes out teams of players solo, but she didn't think it would apply here, but it seem it follows him as she step back away as the frost form on the as the men around saw this as well as they looked a bit worry about this.
Echidna took notice of this as well as she did felt a chilling feeling, even her snake felt it as it tuck tighter around her crotch to stay warm.
"Hey, stop pushing! And go back to your spot!" A guy yelled as one of the guy that try to step away from Aster back up into another as he soon said, "Hey not my fault, that guy standing there, he doing something weird!"
As some of the men around the ring attention was now on aster as they gather around him as some of them started to yell at him with one saying, "Hey Punk! IF you know what's good for you, cut this shit out or get out of here before we throw you out."
Kaguya saw this is only building up more pressure around Aster as the frost spread further and it was getting even more colder as the yell increase at him as someone was about to grab him.
In Aster mind his memory keep going back to that place, where he's on the ground hurt with men around him yelling and stomping their feet at him as the younger version of his stay helpless against this abuse with his mother watched in horror to this, as she scream a name.
Aster eyes open with rage in his eyes as well as he grab the arm that was about to touch him as the guy scream out, as frost showed up on the guys arm as he pulled away as hard as he could, and fell into other guys as that soon made everything quite as everyone looked at him, as Aster look up at the men around him as he said in a deep enrage tone, "Get out… Before I freeze you all to HELL!"
(Outside)
The men were running out not wanting to be a popsicle as some cold wind blow out with them as Kaguya throwing some of them out as well as she said, "And stay out!"
Kaguya sighed to this as she felt the cold breeze coming from behind her as she saw Aster walking towards the doors as she step aside as Aster walk past her as he said, "I'm… getting air."
Kaguya hears the pain in his voice as she didn't know what's up, but it better for him to… calm himself right now as she said, "I'll call you when things are wrapping up."
Aster nodded as he just walk out and around as Kaguya walk back in and close the doors behind her, not that she and Echidna had plan… but it works out anyways as they needed to get the men push out for the next part.
(The ring)
Echidna was standing in the ring still with Leina down and worn out, not realizing what just happen above, as Echidna wonder what has happen as Kaguya came to the edge of the ring and said, "The men are gone, it's just us now."
Leina can barely hear what they were saying and wonder what was going on as she hears Echidna talking as she said, "Good, at least we won't be bother by rude men, but what happen to your friend?"
"Part of the reason the men ran out, he taking a walk to calm down, never saw him this mad before," Kaguya said as she sounded worry for her leader as Echidna had a weird pout face as she said, "Ah and I wanted to give him a show."
"Just get with it," Kaguya said as Echidna nodded as she turn back around to face Leina with her face down in the oil as she said, "Sorry for the delay, now where were we?"
(Risty)
Risty knocked out the guard around the vault and stood in front of it as she face towards it before turning back around for a moment and wonder what just happen a little bit ago as the place gotten cold quickly as she knew it's the warm season before sighed and turn back as she knew she had one thing on her mind right now.
As she look in the room and the vault was almost filled with the brim with gold like echidna said it would be as she remember the deal she had with Echidna.
(Flash back)
As she and Echidna stood in the hall as they two talked as Echidna started off leaving a part of it out as she said, "Risty, I was hired by count Vance, I am to watch Leina closely."
"Yea, and?" Risty said not caring about detail of it as Echidna said, "And I want you to cooperate with me."
"Cooperate?" Risty asked as she didn't know what that could mean as Echidna said to her, "I want you to leave, turn your back of what's going on here."
"Ha, and I get what?" Risty said as she doesn't turn away just like that unless something offered as Echidna said, "In return, you can take as much as you want from tonight's profits."
(End flashback)
Risty was laughing at the amount that was around as there were so many chest fill with gold, she empty out many of them and was going on one more to fill the bag she had with her as soon she was done, she spotted a coin like the one she gave Leina as she pick it up and said, "Look what I found."
As She turn it around and saw the head was facing a different way as he gasp to that as her eyes calm down soon after that as the coin she had was a double head sided coin, just not hers as she said, "I guess, it's not the same."
As Risty thought back to Leina as she remember her saying, 'Don't worry, I'll earn the money for our journey."
Risty pocket the coin as she smile and said, "It's been fun Leina, you'll be fine. Your luck will chance, and as long they are with you, it should be fine as well."
(The ring)
Echidna change position as she held Leina up with her arms around the Vance girl chest as one of her breast came popping out of her outfit as she gasp and groin in pain.
Echidna arm was around Leina's neck while she also sit on her back pulling up on Leina to cause more stress pain with her breast still hanging out as Echidna was enjoying this by the smile on her face as she said, "I hadn't have a thrill like this in a while. The way pain twist your face. It's so graceful."
(Above)
Kaguya watch silently as she saw Echidna was putting the finishing touches on Leina as she put her hand to her ear as she said, "Message… Aster?"
"What is it?" Aster voice came in, as his tone was calming down a bit as Kaguya said, "We're almost done here, come back when you can, Leina would mostly likely need help, afterword."
(The ring)
Leina was still struggling with Echidna as she try to break free, but she proving to be too strong for her to overcome, but she didn't give up as she said to her, "Stop making fun of me!"
Echidna snake hiss out as it slithers out from under between Leina legs, touching her crotch too as it came up around her breast as Echidna said, "My snake, Keltan, you're driving him wild too."
Leina eyes widen to this as Keltan moved around Leina breast like crazy as he pop out both of them as Leina cry out, "Stop it."
"Try fighting back a little harder," Echidna said as that was que of her snake to strike as he went to Leina breast again and bite into her right breast as Leina gasp to this, as Keltan was giving Leina a good dose of venom.
"Keltan, that enough now," Echidna said as the snake let off as the bite mark was shown with some venom coming out as Leina cry out as Echidna change position with Leina as she held her up by her arms and legs pin back, forcing Leina to stick her chest out, feeling helpless and weak as she cry out to the pain.
(Risty)
Risty came back to the inn and at her bed, and to the pack next to her was Leina, as she look at her new coin as she grip it, before as she grab her pack and about to walk out, but stop for a moment, as she look back at the pack on the ground in the corner, which was Aster's as she had a thought, as she grab it as well, but place it on the bed next to Leina as she said, "I'm sure you won't mind much."
Soon enough, she walk out the door and didn't look back, knowing Leina is in good hands despite what Echidna might do.
(Back at the ring)
Leina still trap in the same position with echidna as the elven woman came to Leina's ear and said, "Are you prepared to admit defeat? If you do, I'll give you the antidote."
Leina could barely speak as she just gasp out incomplete words as Echidna said, "Better hurry before the poison spreads too far."
Leina few was getting blurring, as she didn't want to admit defeat, even though she wanted to, she just couldn't bring herself to say it as her thought to herself, 'Am I going to die like this?'
Leina soon reach her limit as she said, "I can't... stand this... I wanted to be strong."
Echidna smile to this as she said to Leina "You're so cute when you shiver, a bird out of its cage with her wings torn off. She can't fly anymore, but she still struggling desperately, it's more than I can stand. It's okay to cry, go on."
(Above)
Leina did cry out as tear came forth, and soon past out as she was beaten as Kaguya saw Leina had enough and tasted defeat, she knew she will learn from this, as Echidna release her grip, and help her as at that moment, the doors open to the place, Aster came in calmer at least.
Kaguya look over to him as the small chill breeze came around but not as great as before as she said, "she done"
Aster didn't say anything else as he came over to the pit area and leap into the ring as he feet slash in the oil as Echidna look and saw the mighty pale warrior as she felt it, that small cold breeze again, as her pet snake curled back up at her crotch again and shiver, maybe to the cold air but to the aura around Aster as well as she back a bit as Aster walk over to Leina, looking down at her helpless form, with tear still coming out of her eyes, as he kneel down and hold her up as Echidna said as she toss a bottle to Aster, "She going to need this."
Aster caught it as he saw it was the anti-venom as he look up at Echidna with a hard look as Echidna give a shiver herself as she said, "Might that quite a look you have, she be alright once she gets that, just make sure to give to her my mouth, it's easier to give it to her like that."
She soon walk away as she gotten out of the pit as Kaguya was nearby with a sack full of gold a she stood by with Echidna came up to her as she said, "Call me again if you have more work for me, or something else in mind if you want." as she give wink to that as Kaguya before walking away while picking up the sack and walking away.
AS Kaguya didn't say anything else as she look down into the ring as she saw Aster look at the bottle and soon open it, as he pour the stuff in his mouth but didn't swallow it as he lean Leina close to him and place his lips over hers in a kiss form, as Kaguya turn away quickly as she huff silently.
Aster let the anti-venom pour down Leina throat as he rub it as well making it easy for Leina to swallow it as well before he let off, as he look over the bite mark on Leina as well he place a hand over on her breast and cast a simple healing spell as his hand give a soft glow and over it showing the bite mark was gone, before he cover Leina up and carry her up bride style leaping out of the pit ring.
(Later at the Hotel)
Aster placed Leina on the bed making sure she was ok. "Was it really worth this?" Aster asked aloud while looking over to Kaguya who leaned on the door frame back in her normal gear.
"The world is a cruel place it's better this way." Kaguya said before she got up. "There is a pharmaceutical shot across the street I'll see if they are still open." Kaguya said before taking her leave.
"Why don't we use one of our antidotes?" Aster asked to which Kaguya smirked.
"Normally we could but we don't want to attract attention nor do we want to waste it on minor things like this." Kaguya said knowing that there was a huge chance their options and antidotes may be considered on par with being the blood of gods.
"I'll go with you in out that sort of thing." Aster said before following after Kaguya.
(Later outside)
It wasn't much of a trek as it was practically across the street. Aster knocked on the door but was met with no answer. He tried opening it but before he could a new voice was heard.
"Hey are you two by chance adventures?" Came an elderly voice to which the duo looked and saw an old lady clearly the pharmacist here.
"Why yes we are we were hoping hour shop may be open seeing as our friend was bitten by a nasty snake we already applied the antidote but we wanted to be 100% sure in case it doesn't work." Aster said to which the old woman nodded.
"Well good thing I found you when I did my grandson was manning the store while I was out and it was close to quitting time but I'm sure I can squeeze in a few more hours." She said as the two stepped aside and let the woman in.
"My name is Xibalba the Pharmacist." Xibalba introduced as Aster and Kaguya nodded.
"I am Kaguya the Silver Goddess and this is Aster the Pale Warrior." Kaguya introduced as Aster nodded to this.
"Pleasure to meet you two." Xibalba said as she began opening the door. But when she opened the door Kaguya's nose caught a whiff of something mighty fowl.
"Hector I'm back." Xibalba called out as she walked into the store but got no answer in response. "Where is that boy?" She asked to which Aster acted with Kaguya.
"Master." Wizel was heard as he appeared next to Aster as an unseen spirit.
"Mistress I hath detected Necromancy here be wary." Came the spirit voice of Luthia as she floated in a lunar goddess like dress next to Kaguya.
"Something's not right." Aster said before he drew his sword and took point.
Xibalba looked shocked as she saw the two warriors walk through as Kaguya had a grip on her bow for melee combat. "What's wrong?" She asked as Kaguya saw Aster keep calm while walking through.
Aster then opened the door before speaking as he saw a hallway. "Where does this lead?" Aster asked while he glared down the hall from behind his helmet.
"To the brewer where we store Medisamel herbs." Xibalba said to which Aster and Kaguya carefully walked torts the room. They soon opened the door as the scent became strong for Kaguya as she knew why. It was the smell of rotting flesh as fresh corpses were in the room.
"My god." Aster gasped as he saw the Horror of this scene.
"These people have been murdered!?" Xibalba called out but then to their further shock the corpses began to rise again. Kaguya jumped in and fired a holy arrow at each of the undead before Aster came in and slashed the monsters down with ease. They soon were set aflame from Kaguya's arrows as Aster saw this with a glare.
"I... I don't see Hector." The old woman said as she was shocked at this.
"That's because he's not here." Aster said as he began to investigate the undead remains after Kaguya's flames dealt with them.
The old woman soon ran back as she called out, "Hector!"
"Follower her and keep her safe, Kaguya there could be more around," Aster order his teammate as she nodded and said, "I'll follow close behind."
Kaguya follow behind the old woman as Aster had his sword ready as he approach the other people who has yet to be zombified, as he lifted up one head and saw a familiar face as he said, "Members of the adventure guild, as I can remember… silver plate rank, my god who the hell did this?"
Aster got a closer look as he saw the wounds they suffer, many stab wounds and to the size as he thought, 'Must be from a dagger or a raptor like weapon, but raptors are too long in very close quarters so this must have been done with a dagger then.'
Aster stood up as he saw how the blood was spread around as it seem whoever kill these adventures… killed them slowly before finishing it as his fist tighten as a cold mist appeared around his hand as he said, "Whoever did this… will pay."
(Later)
Aster has lay out the bodies in, an honorable fashion, and look through the stuff of the dead adventures and saw nothing stolen or out of the ordinary as far as he can tell, as soon enough the old woman and Kaguya returned as the old woman said, "I can't find Hector anywhere."
"There were no others around as it seem the murder took place all here, what did you discover," Kaguya asked as Aster stood up and give his report of his findings.
"I can confirm that whoever did this... Hector was their target but for what reason I do not know." Aster said while looking over his findings. "What, further proves this is the fact that their packs were left untouched." Aster said passing such a pack over to Kaguya who saw this.
"Who were these poor souls?" Xibalba asked as she looked to Aster.
"Adventurers from the Adventurers guild." Aster confirmed as he continued from what he discovered thus far. "Ma'am how do you wish to handle this?" Aster asked as he saw the corpses.
"What?" Xibalba asked as she looked to the duo.
"If you wish to locate Hector then you must be aware that we are dealing with a third tear spell caster. One who decides to use necromancy on these poor souls instead of hiding the bodies?" Kaguya confirmed while inspecting the corpses before continuing. "These bastard clearly wanted to show off the power they wield and are willing to use." Kaguya said as she walked in as with them.
"We need to act quickly if we wish to save Hector." Aster said as he then stood up. "If you so request it my cohort and I shall go and find him for the right price." Aster said surprising the old lady.
"Right now Aster and I are the strongest warriors in town capable of rescuing your grandson and at the moment we are between jobs." Kaguya said as she knew the price to ask as did Aster.
"Please you can have whatever you want just bring my Hector home!" Xibalba begged looking to them.
"Know our price is absolute and we do not do refunds." Aster warned her but the old lady showed she did not care as she desired to save her grandson.
"How much would you charge an old lady?" Xibalba asked to which Aster smirked under his helmet.
"10 gold pieces, and opening a second shop." Aster said surprising the old woman to no end.
"What?!" She asked in shock as she heard this.
"I have a location that could very much be of use of your potions and elixirs in the long run you will no doubt be well off while you man this shop Hector if able can man the other and the increased income and customers would allow you to hire help running these shops and in turn allow you both to expand again." Aster explained as the old lady saw if Aster and Kaguya were successful this would mean the shop would get more than they ever thought. In other words these two were basically taking this quest for free in the long run.
"You two drive a hard bargain but it's a deal." Xibalba said to which Kaguya nodded in response.
(Later with Leina)
Leina began to come to finding herself in bed and the bite mark patches up as she saw she was back in the inn room. "Risty?" Leina asked for the door opened to reveal Kaguya. "Kaguya?!" Leina gasped just as Kaguya walked in.
"Get dressed." Kaguya ordered throwing to Leina her armor. "We have a quest and may very well be dealing with undead." Kaguya explained simply surprising Leina even further.
"A quest?" Leina asked confused as to what was going on.
(Later)
The trio were gathered around a map of the town as they had to locate where these villains had taken Hector. Leina was given the update on things and in turn was listened in on the conversation. "Now our main objective is to locate Hector." Aster began but Leina spoke up.
"But how can we do that?" Leina asked in confusion
Before Aster spoke up.
"Despite them leaving the bodies behind and not leaving tracks to follow the perpetrators made one grave error in judgment." Aster began as he then pulled out his bronze plate. "Tell me why would someone take these?" Aster asked to which Leina answered.
"No clue seems pretty worthless to me." Leina said to which Aster smirked.
"Perhaps but look at our corpses here they were each stripped of their plates so in other words these plates are nothing more than trophies for our quarry." Aster explained to which Kaguya nodded and pulled out a bag of enchantments.
"I'll use these to start locating the plates we need to be prepared for anything and everything we may encounter." Kaguya said to which Aster understood.
"Seems quiet dangerous." Leina commented to which Aster chuckled a bit.
"The more dangerous it is the bigger the reward." Aster commented as Leina reminded him of himself more by the day.
"So how do we locate the plates?" Leina asked as Aster smile as he said, "Looks like we're going to pull out the mirror again."
"The looking glass?" Leina as Kaguya nodded as she held out her hand as a light appeared before an object form in it as Leina saw in her hands, was a strange looking like a mirror, but instead of a mirror it was a rounded glass to say with strange runes around and a different type of gem in the center of them while the glass itself has a different kind of rune as Leina asked, "This is the looking glass?"
Aster clear the table a bit and lay down the map to get the huge glass set down over it as Kaguya said, "Been a while sense we used this."
"Well we only use it for raids mostly," Aster said as Leina asked, "What so special about this mirror you guys have?"
"It's a magical item we made, to cast a location spell upon to see, sometimes there are trap to certain things if we try to locate them, even on the item or people we could be looking for, but sense we don't know who took the plate, we're just going to look for the plates themselves, and this thing will help us as it will cast spells automatically that will help protect us and not set off any trap," Aster said as he tap each gem around the edge.
"Sound good and all but I don't understand how it works?" Leina said as Kaguya was getting it ready as it doesn't take many people, just one mostly as Aster turn to Leina and said, "Well, I guess think of it like a back door to a vault, or treasure chest if we can't go in from the front of it, we try opening from a secrete hatch In the back that no one knew of, not even the owner to treasure."
"I think I understand now," Leina said as Kaguya soon cast the spell and said, "Activate!"
The glass glowed as Leina was in awe to it as Kaguya went on saying, "Locate. Silver adventure plates."
As the looking glass shows a dot as it bleeps like a submarine radar would do as Leina look at it carefully as Aster said, "Well good news is they are in the area."
"And bad news?" Leina said as Kaguya zoom in on the area as she turn the glass a bit to get a better look at it as the map shows a graveyard as she said, "It's in the center of the cemetery, most likely whoever took hector may have already have an army of the undead ready."
"Is there a way to know they do?" Leina asked as Aster asked, "Hey Kaguya, you still had that mini mirror thing?
"A hand held mirror, and which one?" Kaguya asked as Aster said to her, "The one you use a few years ago, like mirror-mirror in your hand, show me something-something?"
"Oh, that one," Kaguya said as she snap her finger as she remember she keep that in her infinite pocket bag as it appeared in her hand in a flash of light as she held it over the looking glass as the runes glows brightly with the mirror, as she said, "Show me what's in the cemetery."(If people don't understand what the mirror is, think of 'Beauty and the Beast')
Soon enough as the mirror shine for a moment and shows a horde of undead walking across the disturbed land as more undead came up from the graves and moan out all zombie like as Aster said, "They already started, we need to hurry there and stop them before they get into the city."
Kaguya made everything vanish as they found what they were looking for as Aster went over to the door and open it with the old woman standing there as Aster said, "We're finished."
"What did you discover?" Xibalba asked as Aster said, "Your grandson is being held at the cemetery guarded by a huge undead force."
The old woman gasp as Aster held up his hand as he said, "We'll get him safely, that's our promise we will make to you so don't worry."
"Please, bring my grandson back safely," She pleaded as Aster nodded and said, "We will, but to be safe, please notified the guards at the gate to the city and anywhere else, also give the adventure guild word as well of what's going on, we will rush to the cemetery and do what we can there."
"Understand, be careful out there," She said as Aster look to Leina and Kaguya, "Let's move."
(Later)
As the trio were running towards the cemetery as Kaguya had message up to Aster already as she said to him, "So what should we do? Bring in more forces to help out or blast the undead with many AOE's."
"The 2nd option mostly, but at the gates of the cemetery, mostly give any guards there some help and glimpse of our skills to help spread word and gain more reputation, also any stragglers, we can leave in Leina care, help her gain more expedients," Aster said as Kaguya as she said to him, "You really want to help her a lot don't you?"
"Is that bad?" Aster asked as Kaguya said, "Not really, but just focus on the big picture here for now, we're here to stop a massive zombie break out."
"I know- I know," Aster said as they ran as fast as they can with Leina keep up with them as she can.
(The cemetery Gate)
As the guards were calm and collective at the gates as one guard said, "Its getting foggy out tonight isn't it?"
"What scared of a little fog?" another guard on the other end of the gate as the first guard said, "No I'm not getting scared, it's just unusual."
"Hey! Something coming towards the gate!" a 3rd guard said up on a wall that held up the gate as the guards around gather and saw what's going on as the one guard said, "What the?"
"Mother of god," The 2nd guard said as out in the graveyard many undead were coming.
"There so many of the undead, maybe a thousand of them," the guard said as the head guard of the gate turn to one of the others and said, "Notified the other reserved and find a priestess if you can we can hold them off until back up arrive!"
Soon enough the undead were banging at the gates as they were trying to break through, some even try climbing over others to reach the upper wall area as some guards slash at them to knock them off, but soon enough more and more came up as the guards around felt they were being overwhelmed by them.
"Damn theirs to many." The soldiers cursed before turning around. "Retreat!" the leader called out but as they arrived at the exit they were met with Aster, Kaguya, and Leina.
"Adventurers?" They asked as they then began to sigh. "Thank goodness." One of them sighed before noticing Aster's plate hidden under his cloak. "Damn their just useless copper plates." The soldier said no doubt underestimating Aster who at the moment was wearing his helmet. "Get out of here you three before you get yourselves killed." He ordered to which Aster flicked his cape to his back area as he reached for his back. He had called off his sword and shield as he knew he needed some heavy artillery and what better than his long swords.
"You may want to look up you won't want to miss this." Aster said as Kaguya drew forth her bow and arrows. The guards soon saw a large monster show up as it roared in furry at its foes. Kaguya then took aim and fired the arrow out as it then hit the monster but was infused with powerful magic as when it hit the monster the force of the attack caused it to be knocked back.
The guard was further shocked when he saw Aster threw his sword like a boomerang as it flew about and sliced off the monsters head before returning to his hand. Truth was this weapon was being manipulated by Kaguya who had levitation magic at her disposal. When Aster caught the Giant Thrasher Sword again he put it back on his back and looked to the guards.
"Who are you people?" He asked after seeing what Aster and Kaguya did.
"Open the gates." Aster ordered surprising the soldiers even further.
"Do you have a death wish? There's an entire legion of undead on the other side." The leader scolded as he glared at Aster.
"I know. Don't worry about a thing by Aster and Kaguya are here to save you all." Aster said as he looked to the guards in question. But alas they did not open it to which Leina was about to try again only for Aster to cut her off. "Fine then if you will not open the gate Kaguya and I will just have to improvise." Aster said before he jumped with a great leap over the wall with ease followed by Kaguya using Whirlwind to fling herself over the wall as well.
Leina ended up staying behind as she figured Aster had a plan but even she could not believe he would face an entire undead army alone. But she was soon met with the sounds of battle as metal clashed and arrows fired before it all went silent.
"Impossible." Leina said as the guards heard this.
"What is it?" They asked as the guard leader spoke up next.
"The voices of the undead... just stopped." He said before the group went to investigate.
(Top side)
The stood atop the wall and were wide eyed at what they saw. "Impossible there's no way they could have beaten that many undead on their own." The guard said as Leina saw this as well.
"They've done grander than this." Leina said as she saw this as well.
"Those two what were their names again?" The guard asked looking to Leina.
"The man is called Aster the Pale Warrior and the woman was called Kaguya the Silver Goddess." Leina said realizing why she was put in this spot. "They also have a comrade elsewhere named Dilan the Red Winged Dragon." Leina said as she began something here.
"I've never heard of any of them before and theirs a third one just as powerful as them?" The soldier asked as he looked over the slaughter the undead were victims of.
"Are you sure they were only a copper plates?" Another soldier asked as Leina saw this. "It just seems wrong." He added after witnessing such bout of power.
"I wonder if those two are the fabled adamantine plate I've heard of. Or if that archer woman is to be the next Queen." He said as Leina remembered Kaguya was wearing her top hat again.
"Whoever or whatever they are I think we just witnessed a myth in the making. The legend of three warriors, the Pale Warrior, the silver moon archer, and the red winged dragon who all became heroes." The solider said to which Leina knew she was also cleanup which meant with the first wave done with she had to make her way to the others while taking out stragglers.
(Battlefield)
Aster was fighting his way through the undead forces with ease as he slashed at them with the two handed sword of his. He slammed, smashed, and cleaved through his enemies with trained ease. Nearby Kaguya was running by firing her arrows at a rapid paste as she then jumped over a large group and fired multiple at once hitting many of them. The arrows in question began to glow before exploding as Kaguya smirked at this and tipped her hat a bit while standing back up like a magician.
Aster began to calmly walk through the undead with Kaguya by his side as the undead began to circle around them carefully awaiting their next attack. "Kaguya we need a path getting through these foes will take us forever." Aster said as he did not want to waste time on the small fry.
"Do I need to be the one who solves all our problems?" Kaguya asked but she and Aster both shared a feeling the rush... the joy, the excitement, and all the fun it came with. It's been far too long since they've been in the front lines like this. A trip down memory lane and nostalgia would be complete if Dilan was here right now.
"You are the strategist here so of course." Aster quipped as he almost forgotten what it was like talking like this with Kaguya and Dilan.
"I got this." Kaguya said as she readies her arrow.
"Holy Piercer!" Kaguya invoked as she then fired a powerful holy arrow through the undead clearing a straight path for them. Unaware to them Kira was observing it all as the truth was these two weren't truly worth her lords attention only the pactmakers were to be noted.
Kira though noted Elizabeth may have some potential in her but to these people they were basically supreme beings. Not that she cared much of it but Kira wanted to see the pactmakers in action. They had reports from Hinomoto before their spy was captured and killed that the Dragon Knights Pactmaker was there. She had already faced the White Knights Pactmaker so that only left the Moon Maiden unaccounted for.
"Nice shot." Aster said before he and Kaguya made their way through the path as the undead were only going to keep coming until they locate and deal with the masterminds who were behind this undead invasion.
(Later at the center)
As a group of Necromancers, with the leader of the group in the center of it as he held an orb collecting dark magic as he chanted to fill it more with power as the two heroes came and saw them as one Necromancer said, "Master Yagi, there here."
Aster and Kaguya stopped as Aster thought, "Great we have a name to the head honcho."
"Greeting to all, enjoying your night Yagi?" Aster said as the guy jerk his head up as he didn't want his name to be learn by others as eh turn to the person that said it as, "As fun as this is, stop waiting time on that old dull ritual."
Yagi walk up as he huffed and said, "There's nothing dull about this business. Sense you now know my name, how about you tell us both of yours?"
"We're a couples of adventures out on a quest, looking for a boy named Hector, make it easy for us and show him to us," Aster said as that made every one of the necromancers worry a bit as the two already knew they had the boy as Aster pointed out his sword and said, "While you're at it, bring your friend out, the one that carries daggers blades, Surely, they not cowardly as you bunch look unless they are as they only go after weak."
"You took time to examine the corpse, smart guy," A female voice rang out as soon enough in a mausoleum behind the group as a woman pop out showing Elizabeth Yagi turn to her and said, "Go back in."
"Yagi, they already figure it out, there's no point in hiding anymore," She said while sticking out her tongue for a moment as she said, "So what's your name? I'm Elizabeth, the pleasure mine."
"I'm your judge, jury, and executioner, Aster the pale warrior, and you already know the verdict, after killing 5 adventures, its death," Aster said as Elizabeth smile as she put her finger to her chin and said, "Overconfidence, Oh tell me how you figure it out to come to the Cemetery?"
"It was you that lead us here, open up your cloak," Aster said as Kaguya had a tick on her head as she look to her leader and said, "You make it sound like you want her to get naked."
"Oh is that what he wants? Your making me blush!" Elizabeth said as Aster head drop down to the side and said, "Stop that! That not what I meant!"
He turn to Kaguya and said, "Why did you say it that way? You make it sound like I am some sort of pervert, telling her to get naked?!"
"Then be clearer on what you say!" Kaguya argue as one guy said, "Man these two sound like a married couple."
"WE'RE NOT A COUPLE!" They both yelled as they blush, with Aster doing it under his helmet, but no one can tell anyways, to that thought as Aster shake that thought out of his head as he pointed at Elizabeth and said, "Just open that cloak of your and show us the plates you took!"
"Oh you mean these!" Elizabeth said as she revile herself as she show off her mix armor of plated metal on her clothing which is full of copper and few silver and one or two of a 3rd ranking metal around, as Aster said, "Those are the reason we are able to find you so easily, which so happen to be at the center of where you guys were."
Elizabeth huff to that as Yagi just look to her piss off as they were found out because of her crazy plate collecting as Aster said, "Kaguya, take care of the necromancers, would you? That woman is mine to deal with."
"With pleasure," Kaguya said as she always hated Necromancers, even creepy looking ones like them with Aster walking forth before stopping a few steps as he said in a silent tone, "Go big if need be, if this follows like the series too."
"Won't be a problem," Kaguya said as Aster walk off as he spoke loudly over to Elizabeth as he said, "Elizabeth, lets finish our business elsewhere, if you don't mind."
"He, okay!" Elizabeth said as she follows Aster out to the area where they were going to fight, as flying nearby, as Marianne making her next appearance as she said, "This won't be counting as a Queen's blade match, sense that girl isn't a predictive contestants, but who knows if a signal comes from the heavens, or something from the Author and co-writer."
(We'll tell if it is or isn't, now stop breaking the 4th wall!)
Onward as the two walk away to their death match with one coming out of it alive, as Kaguya look down at the group of Necromancers as Yagi said as he look at Kaguya, "This girl is harmless, she not even using a threatening weapon."
"Oh so little minded," Kaguya said as she raise her bow and drew and arrow as the arrow glow brightly at the tip as the group were shock to this display as Kaguya said, "Blessed Shot!"
She sent that arrow flying at the group as Yagi move back as the arrow landed in the middle of the group and exploded brightly.
The Necromancers around Yagi were easily dealt with to which Kira watched from the roof as the battle played out. Yagi of course laughed as he saw the girl had magic and those arrows of hers weren't something to scoff at either. "Impressive." He said to which Kaguya sighed to this.
"Pathetic why don't you just roll over and die already you've already lost." Kaguya said as she was just waiting for him to bring out his A-Game.
(With Aster and Elizabeth)
The two were walking still with Elizabeth humming to herself as they walked. "I guess those men I killed in town were friends of yours is that right? Did you come here to avenge them or something stupid like that?" Elizabeth asked as she had her hands behind her head while walking.
"Yes and no. I didn't know them so I'm not here to avenge them as friends... I am here to avenge them for your actions of ending their chronicles before it could truly begin." Aster said as he walked to which Elizabeth heard this and scoffed.
"Chronicles? Chronicles of what how to be pussy ass weaklings?" Elizabeth laughed as this woman... no this monster in human skin was clearly a sociopath. "So are you or are you not angry I can only get hard if you get angry." Elizabeth said before she saw Aster stop.
"Before we begin who was helping you two." Aster began as he knew a sociopath and a second rate magic caster couldn't pull this off without some sort of help.
"Oh how do you know I wasn't the mastermind?" She asked to which Aster took out a paper and tossed it to her to which she caught. Elizabeth opened it and was met with her own sadistic blood covered face on a wanted poster.
"Says here you've been in an out of prisons and asylums. You go in then you break out slaughtering everyone from guards, doctors, and even fellow prisoners and patients." Aster said as he then glared at her. "Those stories have the same cliché to them you did it without planning just grabbed the nearest sharpest implement and cleaved your way through." Aster said to which he was calling Elizabeth a dumbass.
"Well I did have this idea to begin with but someone had to help us with the finer details of it." Elizabeth said as Aster saw he was getting somewhere.
"Oh? Have a name or did he feel you weren't worthy of it?" Aster taunted as he looked to Elizabeth.
"He called himself General Kira or something like that." Elizabeth said not minding his taunt in the slightest.
'Kira... again?' Aster thought remembering the other pactmaker he had met at the Vance Estate. "I see... well then regardless you, the necromancer, and the undead army have something in common." Aster said as he then pointed his sword at Elizabeth. "Each of you serve a purpose to me but at the same time your purpose is to stand in my way for my end goal... in other words." He began as Elizabeth smiled a sadistic smile to this. "You're being removed from the board." Aster added while glaring.
"This is my Chronicles and you don't belong in it." Aster said glaring at Elizabeth while Wizel floated next to him for only Aster as his pactmaker can see him.
Elizabeth then laughed a bit but then continued. "Fabulous but I promise there's no way you can defeat me on your own." Elizabeth said as Aster paid attention. "It's a shame you left that spell casting archer with Yagi he gets to kill that cat girl no fun for me." Elizabeth added as despite Kaguya's top hat it was easy to tell she was a cat girl.
"Kaguya can defeat you just as easily as I can." Aster said not worried in the slightest.
"Oh really for me all it takes is to get in their close, make a quick cut and STAB!" She called out gesturing how she does it. "I kill a lot like her that way." Elizabeth said as Aster wasn't even worried knowing Elizabeth had no idea who she was screwing with. "I can name about a good five or six people who can take me on, first is Claudette Vance, followed by Echidna, then Risty, Cattleya if she stops being Ms. mommy, the Swamp Witch Welbellia, and the queen herself Aldra." Elizabeth said to which Aster scoffed.
"Then you're out of your league." Aster said as Elizabeth as shocked to hear this. "I've already bested both Claudette and Risty in turn dealing with you who has trouble with them will be child's play." Aster said to which Elizabeth glared with a sadistic look on her face. "But regardless thanks for the new names to show my gratitude I will give you a handicap." Aster said to which Elizabeth had enough.
"You must not have a brain beneath that helm of yours if you think you can talk to me like that and get away with it! The Inhuman Lady Elizabeth of Carnage doesn't lose brawls to nobodies like you! Your about to learn why people fear me and why I am Chaos incarnate!" She called out to which Aster lowered his defenses as he saw clearly he was dealing with a chump.
"I see nothing to be afraid of. You're nothing more than a joke." Aster said as he got ready. "Now shut up and fight." Aster ordered as he was not going to let this monster get away from him.
(Meanwhile with Kaguya)
As Kaguya look down at the necromancer as he said to her, "You are skilled, but it won't save you fool."
"Better watch that tone of yours, before you end up finding yourself dead on the spot," Kaguya said as she familiar with bitch and a cunt by many players and shot them down just as fast when the words were said, but a fool, he just treading on thin ice, but that didn't seem to bother him as he said, "I'll call you a fool as I feel like it, little girl, your just leap into your doom, you just don't realize it." Kaguya trail off her though as the guy was still talking.
'Seriously what is up with these bad monolog from evil villains? Why can they just be classy and say something like, "Your already dead," and what not or " be a good last and die for me." those sounds so much better than this asshole saying,' Kaguya thought as forgot the guy was still speaking as she finish what he was saying, "That the price that stand between me and immortality and Power Promise by Kira!"
Yagi raise the orb up as he summon forth a mighty creature that form right away as Kaguya can guess by the sound of winds flapping like a bird, he summon forth a skeleton dragon as she thought, 'Looks like I'm breaking bones."
Kaguya dodge the attack that was aimed at her from the skeleton dragon and watch it flew over as it landed in front of the necromancer as Kaguya can hear the guy laughing like he already won, which is annoying as Yagi started to say, "This skeletal dragon is resident to all sort of magic and enchanted weapon that including your arrows, there not a caster or warrior in the world that can stand against it, your death is a certainly."
Kaguya just smile as she said, "If that the cause, they I'll just have to hit it hard enough so it will just fall apart."
Yagi frown at this as he hears Kaguya tone as if this is nothing for her to worry about as he sick the bone dragon on her, Kaguya charge and move out of the way of the dragon claws as she called forth a spell, "Earth Staff!"
Her Bows glow as she swing her bow at it and did a pimp slap to it as its head jerk to the side with some bones falling off of it as Yagi was surprise by this as soon enough as the dragon soon fell down onto its side hurt as he said, "What, but that's impossible!"
Kaguya landed gracefully on the ground as Yagi turn to her and said, "Wh-What are you? There just no way, no way to pull that off unless you're a god."
"I was given the title silver Goddess by many people, but I'm far from being a god, that dragon of yours is only resident to certain element of magic, but to most undead the earth element is the neutral element that can harm it, but if you didn't know that, then you are a moronic fool," Kaguya said as Yagi said to her, "Witch, I'll kill you!"
He commanded the dragon to stand up as it did while roaring out as Yagi said, "You won't stop me! I won't allow it!"
Yagi raise the orb up high as it glow more, as he command the dragon to attack as he said, "Show her the fully of her stupidity!"
The dragon was healing from the massive power boost it was getting as all the bone that fell off came back and repair the damage done to it as Yagi raise a staff up to enhance his dragon, "Armor of stone, enhance resistance!"
Kaguya saw what the guy was doing trying to beef up its armor level and magic defense too, as she cast upon herself, "Enhance ability, double critic magic, Levitate, Boosted Protection!"
Yagi command the dragon to attack again as Kaguya dodge it as she levitated up in the air as she pull and arrow out as she called forth, "Holy Shot!"
She fire the arrow as the spell on it shot forth to the dragon call as the two collided and cancel each other out and push back the dragon as well, with Kaguya smile as her she had some item that increase the chances of a critical hit on enemies 1 to 2 chance a 50% chance at best but then again she also had a lucky item as well to help increase chances so for her for anything and its always works.
"Curse Javelin," Yagi called forth a spell that seem like a lance spell, as he sent it at Kaguya as she saw it a mile away as she call forth another spell, "Flame Lance!"
The two attack collided and create a huge explosion as Kaguya figure it was a good idea to do it as it seem there are other spell that were not in the game that did exist here, but they work just the same as their element spells.
"Damage, she stop my spell with one of her own with the same level of power," Yagi said as Kaguya had an arrow ready as she fire it at him, Yagi quickly command his dragon to protect him as the arrow hit the dragon and exploded, it cause some damage but not as much as the skeleton dragon roar out to it.
"This is become a big waste of time, why not come out from behind that dragon and face me like a fighter?" Kaguya said as Yagi huff as he said to himself, "I guess it can't be helped."
Yagi raise the orb again as he chanted a spell word Kaguya didn't hear it quite clear, but she could guess what's coming anyways as the dragon was shaking as Kaguya look down as she saw the ground breaking apart as Yagi said, "You see now, this is my terrifying power!"
The ground rip apart as a light shine through, but Kaguya knew it not a holy thing that coming up as soon enough as bones came forth and form a 2nd skeleton dragon as Kaguya said with a dull look on her face, "Now this is getting old here."
The orb in Yagi's hand dim after using all of its energy in it as he took a breath and said, "I seem I use all of the black magic I had gather up so far, a minor setback. Once I kill you and destroy the city, it will be resorted 10 folds!"
Kaguya sighed as she had dealt with solo boss fights where there more than one as well, it's going to annoy her really as she had to take out one fast and focus her attention on the other, and wonder if she should just end this by summon forth her Knight Arc and be done with it, but then again, when did she ever get a chance to test herself?
Kaguya look to Yagi and said, "Sense you use up all of your power, you just leaving yourself wide open then, once I take care of your dragons, I will shot an arrow through you."
"Not a chance! Attack her, destroy her existence!" Yagi said as the dragons charged at her as Kaguya smile as she leap up with her levitation magic as she dodge the first attack and flew past the first dragon attack and strike it with her bow like before as she called forth, "Earth Staff!" she smack it away as easily the first time with some bone chipping off.
Kaguya turn to the next dragon to strike it as well until she saw a claw before her as she realize she should have seen it coming, but then again she caught up with her chances of winning this fight."
The dragon claw hit her as it slam her down in the ground as the dust kicked up as Yagi laugh at this thinking victory was his, until he saw something as the dragon claw… wasn't touching the ground as Kaguya still standing and held the attack back as she smile and said, "Not best to go point blank range, but I'll try it here."
Kaguya said as she had her box holding back the bone creature as she drew an arrow as it glow as she called out, "Wind Missile!"
She fire it as a huge gush of wind came forth and blow the dragon off while pushing it back greatly as it claw was being hit by the arrow still as a gust of wind surround the arrow and pierce through the dragon claw as it roar out and fell back as Yagi was shock by this as he wonder what sort of power was that as he never saw anything like it as he said, "Just who in the hell are you? How could you have such physical strength and that power that Pierced through my dragon."
"I am Kaguya, the Silver Goddess, my power and strength came from years of building my being, and gridding my skills to a sharp point as an arrow, I offend get called the goddess of strategy, by knowing thou enemy, I know his strength, and it easy for me to say, you're not on my level," Kaguya said as Yagi said, "Do you take me for a fool!"
"Rejecting reality when it's the truth that before you, how sad really," she said as she made plan to be two steps ahead, but suddenly Kaguya felt a cold chill in the air, and not one of fear… but a change in drastic temperate changing as she look towards the area Aster is fighting, she saw an area of mist as she can assume… the true Pale warrior has come forth.
(With Aster before)
A claymore slam down on the ground as Elizabeth leap back as she wasn't being serious in her fight as she been dodging and quick attacking around but Aster prove he was smarter than her, and just as quick as he avoid her strike with a side step or two, it wasn't a serious fight with ether of them it seem as Elizabeth laugh and said, "What, don't tell me your getting tired?"
Aster stood up as he took a small breath as Elizabeth said, "You got plenty in the strength department, I'll give you that much, I can see why you boost about it, still I have to ask, are you dumb? You swing those around like a brainless meat head just hoping to hit something!"
Aster knew what she talking about, as he could target where he can swing where Elizabeth will be at, but her speeds, she just very fast and has much in her agility department too as she would dodge again as it was hard for him to get a aim lock on her, but it not anything new for him as he taken care of many fast people before, with Elizabeth asked, "Him, are you sure you're a warrior?"
"Hard to tell if you just keep dodging, why not just attack me straight out instead of running," Aster said as Elizabeth said, "Believe me I would."
"And I thought you said you could be any warrior, where did that confident go, or are you just boasting skill you don't even have, able to fight against Claudette? She will be you in a 5 moves when she serious," Aster said as he could say that with ease as he tested her ability and can say she fast, but she cannot outrun lightning, and with perfect timing, Claudette could kill her… but she isn't here, so it up to him to make it so.
Elizabeth glared at Aster no doubt not liking what he said just then. Elizabeth then drew forth her dagger weapons and to Aster's surprise the weapon matched exactly to the victim's murder wounds. Both entered a battle stance only to hear a roar from afar.
Aster looked and recognized them from the Halloween expansion on Geonet2. "Skeletal Dragons." Aster recognized as he saw them to which Elizabeth laughed in turn.
"Correct. You sure know your stuff." Elizabeth said as she stood calm with a hand to her hip. "Your cute little archery caster friend is helpless against them sense their immune to magic." Elizabeth said as Aster smirked under his helmet again.
"I see so she's doom to fail is that right?" Aster asked before looking to Elizabeth. "I'm curious do you have a means to get past the reach of my sword?" Aster asked pointing his sword at Elizabeth in a battle stance.
"Maybe." She said in a sing song voice before using her dagger to undue her cloak. She began to giggle sadistically happy for the main event. She then crouched down on all fours no doubt for a running start as Aster saw what was coming next.
She then charged as Aster who was waiting for this as he went for the attack. He swung his sword to which Elizabeth saw coming.
"Impenetrable Fortress." Elizabeth invoked as Aster knew that skill just as she blocked his attack. Once her attack missed Aster went for it.
'Impenetrable Fortress Plus, Illusion Mist Plus." Aster silently invoked as her attack hit his shoulder guard but did no damage.
Elizabeth then heard something stabbing into wood but when she looked to where it came from she saw nothing and in turn disregarded it. "Jeez that's some thought armor talk about a hard shell to crack." She commented to which Aster smirked as at that very moment she attacked... she assured his victory. "Well finding the weakest spot is half the fun it's almost like foreplay." Elizabeth said as due to the fact at how light her weapons were any changes to it would go almost unnoticed.
"But I was hoping I could slice you up piece by agonizing piece until you couldn't move anymore." She said while tossing up her weapon allowing it to spin a bit before catching it. "Oh well you can't always get what you want." Elizabeth said to which Aster got ready.
"Smart move testing my armor like that." Aster began as learning what you can about your foe was the first step in mastering PVP.
"Ready for round 2?" Elizabeth asked as she got ready again.
She then charges as Aster again to which he smirked. He swung his sword at her before she reacted with the same tactic. "Impenetrable Fortress." She invoked as Aster swing fast and hard on her but blocked his attack. But then she saw his other arm come at her from the side before she saw a short sword in it before she reacted. "Flow Acceleration!" She invoked and dodged the attack but as she dodged she was then blindsided by Aster's right arm punching her upward before he used his left arm to grab her face.
She was in turn forced to dodge and pull out her second dagger stabbing his neck area but was surprised when no damage was made. She then heard another sound of metal stabbing into wood to which she looked again wondering if he brought more allies but once more saw no one.
"Come on get serious if you keep giving me a handicap you're going to be a corpse." Elizabeth said to which Aster smirked as now his strategy came together. He did his best plans in the middle of battle after all.
"Goodness it seems your bark is worse than your bite." Aster said surprising Elizabeth. "As much as I'd love to play with you some more I don't have the time to do so." Aster said as Elizabeth had enough.
"What does mommy need you home by supper so she can have you watch random men bed her for a gold piece or so you can suck off her tits?" Elizabeth began to which Aster was wide eyed at how she crossed a line there. "Bet you she's some woman of I'll repute a prostitute more likely probably had baby you with one of her clients for his fetish there." She continued as Aster was getting furious now. "Probably sucking off some rich guy right now as we speak." She said to which Aster had enough.
"Unfortunately..." Aster began as he glared as Elizabeth. "Playtime is over." Aster said surprising Elizabeth as she took it to a cold fog rolling in.
"What the?" She asked wondering if Aster may be a magic caster as well.
"KAGUYA!" Aster called out to Kaguya who no doubt heard this. "Let's finish this up and go home! Time to show these peons who the Soldiers of HOLY are!" Aster ordered as he knew it was time to end this.
"What the hell?" Elizabeth asked while Aster glared at her while dropping his sword.
"Now steel yourself for death and come at me!" Aster called out as he wondered how much longer till Elizabeth realizes what he did to her weapons when je casted those skills earlier.
(Back with Kaguya)
As the most rolled it Kaguya smirked at what was to come. Soon a familiar voice was heard as Kaguya knew what it meant. "KAGUYA!" Aster was heard calling out to Kaguya as she heard this. "Let's finish this up and go home! Time to show these peons who the Soldiers of HOLY are!" He ordered as Kaguya smirked in response.
"Well then... since the kid gloves are off let me show you why you are outmatched against me." Kaguya said ready to end this.
"Grr attack and kill her Skeletal Dragons!" Yagi roared out but Kaguya then teleported away to a high vantage point but one where she can be seen. "She vanished where did, she go!?" Yagi asked in shock before he felt an arrow grace his cheek. He turned around and saw Kaguya there vanishing her bow and arrows.
"If you still think your dragons are completely resistant to magic then you're poorly mistaken." Kaguya began tipping her top hat a bit over her eyes. "Now get ready to meet the true Silver Goddess... right in her home turf." Kaguya said as the Moon Maiden was about to appear at long last.
*insert White Knight Chronicles 2 OST: Silver Goddess
She then summoned the Knight Ark a bow like item as it floated before her before she began the chant. "O Luthia, argent Goddess and beacon in the ancient night." Kaguya began while keeping her top hat tipped with her right hand while her left hand hovered torts the Knights ark.
As she chanted the summons the Necromancer acted "Skeletal Dragons attack!" He ordered as the two Skeletal Dragons began attacking again.
"Grant me your power." Kaguya continued before throwing off her top hat as it spun in the air revealing her cat ears whole grabbing the bow. She spun it a bit before preparing to fore an arrow for while she pulled back the handle causing a string of pink magical energy to appear for the bow meeting at the handle. While she pulled back the magical bow string the handle created an arrow of magical energy as Kaguya aimed for the moon.
Soon the shield in the front flashed the rune and opened up revealing the exit hole for the arrow. "VERTO!" Kaguya invoked just as she released the arrow.
The Skeletal Dragons were upon her when she fired off her arrow and the magic involved knocked them back hard. When the arrow hit the moon it released magical power that landed around her forming the summoning circle. Kaguya then caught her top hat and with it in hand places it back on her head as she bowed for a moment before the armor rose up revealing the Moon Maiden mimicking her movements. Kaguya stood up straight like a magician to which the Moon Maiden did the same.
Soon Kaguya hugged herself over her chest and shoulders causing her breast to squeeze a bit allowing the Moon Maiden to merge with her. The Moon Maidens eyes then flashed to life. When then drew the Goddess Bow and got ready as she glared at the undead foes against her.
Kira finally see it, the 5th knight the Moon Maiden, as she said, "The 5th knight, all 5 knights are here and accounted for then, that good to know, Solaris will want to hear about this soon as possible, but let's see how well she'll do against the dragon."
Yagi stood in fearful awe to the site he see before him as Kaguya spoken through her incorruptus, "You say your Dragon are immune to all magic? I will have to say that partly true."
"What?" Yagi said as Kaguya went on saying, "There are power beyond of normal enhancement and elemental spells that can by pass any immunity, as I am one of few warriors who are pactmaker with the powers of great Knights, I am Kaguya the silver goddess, Pactmaker to The Moon Maiden."
Yagi hand that held the orb was shaking as he said, "Years of planning, countless scheming, all of planning and preparations…. I refuse it will be taken away from me by girl in the form of a maiden! Dragons attack!"
The dragon roar as they flew up into the air at the Moon Maiden as she huff to this as she was similar size to them, but she raise her great bow up before smacking them away in the air, as the Bones on the dragons started to fall apart, the black magic that was holding them together was slowly coming undone.
Yagi was sweating like crazy as he held up both orb and staff up as he said, "Go get her dragons, I give you all I have!"
AS the staff glows the man was giving almost all of his magic away to the dragons as they glow they roar out as they turn and face the Moon Maiden once more and charged at her.
"Ignorance to the end, but no matter, as this Cemetery will be your grave once more skeleton dragons," Kaguya said as she drew back her bow as she aim at the dragons as she took aim and fire right away, and did so again with the 2nd shot.
As the two large arrow sore through the skies as they came towards the dragon, and piercer them through their core as the dragon stop dead in the air as a light shine upon them where they were hit as they roar out once more before exploding into pieces.
Yagi gasp to the site as his dragons were taken with ease, both of them with one shot each, he felt fear and drain of all of his magic as he try to run as the moon Maiden look towards him as she said, "Your evil end here Necromancer."
Kaguya drew her arrow one more time as she aim it towards him as he ran as she said before firing, "When you meet the devil, tell them who sent you."
Kaguya fire her last shot as the arrow flew towards the scared little man as he keep running seeing a glow coming behind him as he turn and give a yell before he was engulf in a white light before the area exploded greatly.
*End OST
Kaguya reverted to her normal form as she look towards where she shot, as she did put a little much in that arrow for a single guy, a little overkill, but hey who doesn't like overkill with bad guys?
Kira saw the whole thing as she nod to this as she said, "Impressive, as it those Skeletal Dragons were weak, then again they were summon forth by a man with little power anyways, I think it's time I head off," Kira said as she walk through the darkest part of the Cemetery and vanish.
(Aster)
Aster stood waiting for Elizabeth to come at him as she stand there and wonder what Aster was playing at and said, "That's an interesting tactic, are you giving up?"
"I think we should finish up as well, it wouldn't be fair to Kaguya anyways," Aster said as the frost on the ground form as Elizabeth said, "Wow you are one cocky bastard, I guess your mother didn't teach you much about humiliation, but then again I guess mommy was too busy with the man she slept in bed with, as never meet with someone with just little skills and power in a fight, and you think you can beat the great lady Elizabeth? Congratulation, now I'm royalty piss off."
The air just grew colder to that as ice form around tomb stones with Elizabeth didn't notice her armor was getting a few frosty parts as well due to the burning fury she was feeling as Aster felt his anger rising even more as he said, "Are you just going to stand there talking or are you going to do something?"
Elizabeth growl to that as she raise her dagger up and tilt it up and down a bit as she said, "Your right, we should finish this up already."
Elizabeth kneel down as she cast more enhancement upon herself as she called out, "Stride wind, greater invading, ability boost, greater ability boost!"
Soon enough Elizabeth charged at him with great speeds as she went for the kill, as she saw Aster was doing anything as she thought, "He's not moving?!"
Elizabeth stab her dagger forwards at Aster helmet and into the eye slit as she yell out, "DIE!"
Soon a great shock came forth from the dagger as it seem Elizabeth had the dagger enchanted as well, similar to Claudette thunderclap, but not on the same level, not even close as Aster made no moment to this or any sound as he wasn't being affected by it at all as Elizabeth yell out as she took her other dagger and stab it next to her other one as she said, "I'm not done with you yet!"
She twist the dagger as it exploded with fire, but none of it made it inside the helmet as it blow up mostly in his face as Elizabeth laugh like crazy thinking she just won… until Aster cast, "Blizzard."
The fir blew out by a huge ice storm that appeared all around them, with Elizabeth surprise by this as she try to step back,, to find herself unable to as she look down at her feet and to her horror, they were frozen into the ground as Elizabeth look up at Aster as said, "Interesting choice of enchantment on weapon, that something to watch out for."
"What?! No way, you can't still be alive after that? I stab you through the eyes!" Elizabeth said as Aster grab the dagger and said, "Are you sure? With broken weapon like these?"
Aster pull them out and show them to Elizabeth as to her shocking surprise and burning rage, (pun intended) as she saw her two daggers were broken near the hilt as Elizabeth was shivering but not by the cold, by the glare she felt from Aster under his helmet as he said, "I cast illusion magic over you, making think you were winning when you stab at me with your daggers, but in truth, they shatter upon contact on my armor, this wasn't a fight you could win from the start even with the spell."
"Bastard!" Elizabeth said as she try to move but the ice was suddenly forming more and more up her legs, as her eyes were filled with panic to this as she try to break the ice with her hands as she desperately tries to but the ice keep forming up as she said, "Stop- stop it!"
"How does it feel?" Aster began to say as Elizabeth look up at him as he says again, "How does it feel? The same thing the adventures you killed felt when you killed them? Slowly, as death slowly reaching forward around your neck."
The ice form up to Elizabeth waste as Aster wasn't canceling blizzard as the temperatures keep dropping more and more, as the ice form around the woman as Aster keep saying, "Draining the life from them before the final thrust? It must have felt like forever for them, to be in pain by the way you killed them by, stabbing them from their guts, up to their heads, waiting for the pain to stop as you ended their lives."
Elizabeth scream and yells as she try to reach at Aster scratching his armor a bit, but no marks were left on it by them as she desperately claw out at him to make him stop but he wasn't going to take a step closer, nor back away from this see Elizabeth goal within reach but just far away as Aster said, "By ending their lives, you ended their Chronicles, whatever it could have lead them was their goal, their dream come true… and you ended that like this."
The ice came up to Elizabeth chest as she could not move her upper chest around anymore as she flare her arms around as she said, "Please stop it! Stop it mercy!"
"Like the same mercy you show them? I think not, you will die here like the monster you are, death by stabbing, death by burning, death by shocking, or death by freezing, all the same they lead to death," Aster said as the ice reach to Elizabeth neck and her arms as they were frozen in place as she give a cry to this as the ice almost completely cover her as Aster said, "Your Chronicles… ends here."
Elizabeth give out one more cry before the ice completely took over her as she stood there in place as the blizzard spell keep going, freezing Elizabeth to her core, as her skin turn blue under the ice and her eyes dulls as the life left them… and soon enough a crack shown in the center of her being, before it spread all around the frozen statue of Elizabeth before it shattered into pieces, with the metal plates that were on her armor shot out frozen over as well.
Soon enough the blizzard spell was calming down, it slow down until everything was silent… not a sound was heard as Aster stood there in silent as he dare not make a sound as the temperatures were going back up as the frost around was vanishing, with the ice remaining around, with Aster still standing in place as Kaguya came walking up to where he was at as she saw the scene before her, to her shock to what she saw, a frozen pile of blood and metal as she look up to Aster and thought, 'Did he do it?'
Soon enough she saw a shimmering glimmer at Aster helmet at his eyes slits as Kaguya saw it and wonder what it was until the glimmer form a drop as it feel down to the ground making a small drip sound that was barely heard if not form the ice that was on the ground as Kaguya saw what it was to her surprise… as she thought, 'He…crying?'
Aster sniff as he didn't dare to turn towards Kaguya and said, "Is the necromancer… dead?"
Kaguya took a moment before answering as she said, "Obliterated, no traces of him remain."
"Alright… let's find Hector and… complete the quest," Aster said as he soon turned and walk away with a small trail of tear left behind as he pass by Kaguya with her soon following him.
(Later)
The two arrived at the temple church just in time to see Leina as she ran over to them. "Aster! Kaguya!" Leina called out as the two looked and saw her there.
"Leina how was your work out?" Aster asked seeing Leina was tired and exhausted.
"It was difficult and... pardon worm out?" Leina asked wondering just how powerful these two Pactmakers were.
"I'll leave you to be for a moment I'll go get Hector." Kaguya said before excusing herself.
Leina and Aster were left alone in the graveyard as the sun began to sunrise. But then Aster spoke up while looking to Leina. "So Leina do you see it now?" Aster asked as he looked to Leina.
"Huh?" Leina asked confused while Aster spoke further
"The path you now walk." Aster said to which Leina looked down.
"Yes... but I won't turn around... so please let me travel with you Aster." Leina requested as Aster then began to walk away a bit before stopping.
"This is your story Leina... you're Chronicles you decide how it plays out." Aster said before the doors opened again revealing Kaguya holding Hector over her shoulders.
"I got him and repaired his eyes with magic but all in all the job was a success." Kaguya said as Aster nodded.
"Good it's been a long night we will need to start moving." Aster said as that was agreeable for now. "I can confirm Kira was involved with this incident but without him being here we can only pin the blame on the necromancers." Aster said as that was a shame there.
"I'll get stronger." Leina confessed as Aster nodded and walked away.
"Prove it with actions not words." Aster said as he marched off.
(Scene Break)
The trio were walking down the road after turning in the quest Aster told him a contact of his will meet with Hector and Xibalba to take him to his village. This of course would allow him time to aid his friends should they have also found themselves in this strange world.
Kaguya of course made sure they had water, medicine, and more anti-venom incase the ever cross paths with Echidna again. As they carried their bags and worn their cloaks the trio had the grand destination in mind which was the Queen's Capital of Gainos. Leina held the coin in her hand as she knew Risty was waiting for her to get stronger with the others as they made their way down the road. Aster and Kaguya both had their new guild plates as thanks to this they moved up a few ranks. Plus Aster could already hear the tales of his exploits with Kaguya thanks to the guardsman who had survived.
The results may have been different but ended the same for them. They now had their legends being told and no doubt Dilan was getting results done on his part as well. "This is my Story... and I decide how it ends." Leina said to herself as they kept walking with their destination clear in mind.
(With Dilan, Tomoe, and Shizuka)
"Hey why scowl you looked amazing in those outfits." Dilan said smiling with Shizuka agreeing with him.
"This outfit is best for me." Tomoe argued as they entered the desert.
"Yeah just wait a couple miles." Dilan said as he knew their clothing us dessert equals heat stroke. "Let's hope we don't miss the tournament." Dilan said as they kept walking forth.
"Of course." Tomoe agreed as Dilan shouldered his spear while they walked.
"Wonder how the others are doing?" Dilan thought while looking to the sky.
(With Solaris)
Solaris sat upon his throne as he rested his head upon his fist while Kira outside her armor rested on her head on his lap. Solaris petted his sister's head as she purred to the touch as she bad already reported her findings. "So all five are here... interesting." Solaris said as he then looked to Kira already having a task for her.
"Kira." Solaris began as Kira heard him.
"Hmm?" She asked her brother/lover.
"I need you to go to your desert hometown and make your way to Menace, Melona will provide further details." Solaris said as Kira knew her brother had a plan after all.
Forces were moving but only time will tell if it's for good tidings or otherwise.
