Umbreal Infernias
Chapter 2: New construction option. With little pain to the side.
Far away from the hidden continent of Drangleic, within vale and beacon academy. A man sat by himself within his office and contemplated of what he has discovered recently.
For a very long time. Magic has been absent in Remnant for a very long time and for a very good reason, though that doesn't mean much as he miss to discuss the art of mage craft with a fellow wizard and discover new wonders. Sadly however, the only magician left in this world is himself, the four maidens and... her.
Ever since the gods wiped clean of humanity and brought it back with the absent of magic, he always thought he was the only mage left in the world... until now.
Yesterday, he felt a strange pure primal energy of magic, which he hasn't felt for a very long time. Not since the other humans from that land vanished once he came back from the dead, for only they could ever use such powers with precise control. He immediately went scrying and tried to pinpoint where the energy signature came from... Only to find it in the middle of the ocean on the other side of the world. He kept on scrying, trying to find the birth of a wizard but all his attempts shows only the surface of the ocean water and that's it.
At first he was confused, until he realized why after triple check the world map.
Drangleic!
he manage to finally find the location of Drangleic after all these years!
The very same kingdom led by the legendary King Vendrick whose power rival the two brothers! To think the entire continent was hidden away after so long that he honestly thought the two brothers destroyed the entire landscape out of spite but it appears they hid themself.
But the question is why? why reveal themself now? why show off the birth of a powerful being with such pure primal magic?
Unless they didn't, perhaps they didn't escape the fate that befall on all humanity and life is returning to the empty mythological continent. If that is the case then it means this new wizard has no idea what in store for them... Nor knowing that She would sense them as well and try to either recruit them... or kill them.
He MUST find a way inside Drangleic and take them to his side, only problem is he has no idea where or how to bypass whatever sort of magic used to hide the entire country away from the rest of the world.
He can only hope he manage to get to them first.
She was not happy.
Not one bit.
Within a dark barren landscape, dark crystals and various form of grimm are littered all over the barren wasteland. Deep within the Grimmland, a large castle belonging to the very one who controls the grimm and have been the very source of all the trouble this world have become.
Within the dark chamber, she sat upon her throne fumming as she tried to reign in her anger and resentment of what she discovered and where it came from.
Drangleic.
The very kingdom that had the power to kill gods, the very same people and king that could have ended it all if they followed along the coup against the gods that have wronged her. No instead they rejected her, they rejected the idea to rebel against them!
Even to this very day she doesn't know why they didn't take this chance to help them wipe those two brothers out of existence. They never had any love for those two and even went to war in the ages past for their independence and free will and almost won, instead they decided to cover in fear and hide an entire continent away!
And suddenly the sudden spike of Pure primal magic energy that emerged in the middle of the ocean, right on the other side of the entire world!
Her fist clenches once more as she narrows her eyes at the thought of them returning now, especially at this crucial moment where she's at the strongest! She sent a legion of Nevemores, lancers, Griffon and every air type grimm she could muster and once again attempt to invade the cursed country... But alas it was once again in vain as her grimm were repelled by the forcefield that protected the cursed country.
Ever since the failed attempt invasion yesterday she has locked away in her chamber to cool off and be alone with her thoughts to herself.
Even if the Drangleicians returns now, it will be far too late to stop her now.
She's this close to finally set the final pieces of the chess game she and her former lover have, all she need is her pawn taking one of the Maiden's power, find the relics and summon the two gods and perhaps... finally getting her most desired wish that she has dreamt for a very, very long time.
Death...
A true Death...
All she need is some little bit of more time, then she will finally have it and be free from her curse...
"And that's including the tour, Lady Taesi. Shall we go to your room so that you can rest?"
I nodded as I inspected the storage room where I can store most of my materials, gears and weapons I either find or craft on my own, before following Sarlina to the upper floors.
After I met Sarlina and the wisps, she gave me a brief tutorial how to command my units along with changing my perspective from normal to bird eye's view, similar to most RTS games where you watch from above at your minions, and ask that I ordered my Wisp to go out and deconstruct the old ruined homes of Majula for useful resources like Gold and Lumber.
Luckily the funding system still works similar to Warcraft 3 system but Sarlina told me that the futher I upgrade my command center, the more and newer sources of resources I gonna need is going to open up for more stronger and powerful units.
Also not only that but after I converted the old mansion into my home base; the Tree of life, apparently the gamer system I had wasn't fully powered at all. Basically a lot of features was locked away due to the fact I wasn't connected to a command center and now that it is, I have a frickin HUD now! along with better observe system that automatically analyze any enemies or creatures without needed to think or say it! and I have a skill tree menu for all of my abilities and skills that I can learn, put in useful perks and runes!
...Kinda similar to Diablo 2 and 3 system when thinking about it.
Oh yeah speaking of my spells and skills, if I want to learn new spells or skills type I gotta level up the first abilities that I have, mostly because i can actually combine some of them together for new devastating effect on my opponents, while also healing myself and allies when attacking an enemy.
There is so much i can do with these and yet at the same time no idea what to even start with... Mostly because a two third of the more better moves are locked away in the tier stage of my command center.
But anyway, after i ordered the Wisp to go out to take down the existing buildings so that we can construct new ones, Sarlina took me around the Elven building for a tour to show off all of the facilities and what they do. First we have the meeting room where I gather all of the more important summoned NPC that I have that will be helping me shaping this empty country, along with crafting room for nearly all of the profession you can have in WOW, a training room and a bathing room with the toilets in another room.
And now she showed me the storage room, the only thing left is to see my own room as it is placed at the third floor.
"As you may know, at the current state of your base. It is important that you not only order for more wisp to be made but also construct few Moon Wells, an Ancient of War and most importantly the Altar of Elders." Sarlina explained "Though I highly recommend you construct the Altar of Elder first, to make sure that if something was to happen to you, you can be brought back."
"whoa, really?" I asked with wide eyes "So that means i don't have to worry about dying as I can just come back here again, right?"
"Exactly, which is why it is important that you construct such building first. Though we will go on more about the other functions the building will present. For I believe we're here." Sure enough we entered what looks like a wide hallway, large enough to fit three cars inside and further ahead of the room was a large door, fit for someone of importance and it took couple seconds that it is me.
Still trying to get used to the idea that I'm a frickin leader to fictional elves and giant trees...
Once we reached near the closed doorway, Sarlina steps aside and motion for me to go open the doors. I went right away to open them and what greeted me took the breath out of me, because holy shit this is one hell of a room! It got a large double size bed fit for a king, a beautiful view of Majula with the wisp still deconstructing the ruined building for money, a doorway that leads to my own personal bathroom and... The heck?
Is that...?
My computer setup along with a TV and a couch!? Although in Night elf styled theme!? Not only that but my consoles games are here as well!?
"As you can see my lady" Sarlina snapped out of my shock as she strodes inside my new room "This is your own personal quarters for when you need to rest, take a day off and do whatever you want. The Avatar of the Death god was kind enough to give you your previous earhtly possession with you on this new life. With a little bit modification to their looks and system to run on~"
"T-That's great, thank you!" I stammered as I wasn't expecting to have my consoles and my computer brought with me on this world. Ok, whoever you who gave me a second chance in life, you get one positive point from me for the shit you made me go through as a neko girl!
You're welcome~
And of course I nearly jumped in fucking surprise and shock as I heard a fucking voice inside my bloody head!
"Is everything alright, lady Taesi?"
"N-No it's nothing, so what happens now?" I ask, changing the subject.
"For now, take a moment to rest and get your bearings of your new home. In the meanwhile, I'll monitore the Wisps and will inform you once their task is done. I wish you well, my lady." She bows to me and leaves, closing the door behind her and leaving me by myself in my new room.
I took a deep breath and sighed. Looking around the room is pretty wide with sheer amount of space, but I also noticed that it lacked any decorations. Probably meant for me to do whatever I want with this room.
Looking over to the desk where my computer was then to the couch with the tv, I wasn't sure exactly how I'm supposed to get some form of internet connection but I went over to the tv and booted it up. Took the remote lying on top of the tv and pressed a random button to see if I get any channels.
Sure enough I do!
"-in other news, the Protest continues on as a large number of protesting Faunus still demands of change of the system, along with fair treatment."
...And it's Vale news Network! What the hell?
I watch as a familiar cute looking silver haired woman on screen speaking of the current events of what is going on. Which is both helpful and dreadful for me as it may give me some ideas on WHERE exact am I in the canon timeline.
"While nothing been said or reported of if the council answered the protesters demands, Things did turn violent when someone threw a live molotove against the senate building in vale. Police force was dispatched but further investigation it reveals that no one from the protesting group were responsible for the fires, yet the police force arrested half of the Faunus protesters anyway due to suspicion and belief of arson. Even resorted to violence against the civilians who either attempted to run away or didn't do as the police said fast enough."
"Naturally this did set off a good deal of Faunus populous and the more open minded humans for this harsh treatment, as the fires was started a bit far away from the protestors. But the head chief of the Police force reasured that it was to investigate who set off the fires and that he will personally handle the police officers who resorted to the harsh treatment to the civilians."
Yikes! things suddenly turn bad for them! And why do I get this feeling that it was either a white fang fanatic or an asshole human was the responsible for the fires? Knowing full well what was about to happen but did it anyway?
"And for the last bit of news." Lisa Lavender continues on "Yesterday afternoon, there was a sudden increase of a large horde of Grimm that gathered near Mistral coast. Most were however flyers like Nevemore, Lancers and griffins. The leadership within Mistral was worried these sudden increase of the Grimm was the results of recents bandits attacks and feared these beasts would attack the nearby villages in their country, however to everyone's surprise, The horde of Grimm flew east. Out in the wide ocean for apparent no reason."
"Nobody was sure why or where exactly those creature of Darkness were going, as there was nothing but wide ocean that stretches far. However reports of the same grimm returned hours later and went back to their lairs."
"We recently got report today that Atlas have sent several scouting ships to determined what exactly the Grimm were doing out in the middle of the Ocean. We will be recieving further news in later date once their scouts have returned. This is it for the news, I'm Lisa Lavender and I wish you all a good day."
...Oh.
Oh...
Oooooooooh...
Wait hold on a minute... Is Drangleic located east of Mistral? If so then that means... Shit.
I should have expected this! Salem have been around for a frickin long while, she bound to have picked up new spells and sensing abilities to tell that a new magic caster is born! That means those horde of flying grimm were heading right toward ME!
But wait! Aldia did set up a barrier to keep Drangleic hidden and according to Lisa Lavender the same grimm that were heading over here went back as if nothing seems to happen. Does that mean they failed to find Drangleic or were they repeled by the Barrier? Well either way I don't have to worry about the Grimm attacking me, gotta worry about the Atlas scouts that seems to have been sent over here to see what the fuss is all about.
Granted the chances for them finding Drangleic is likely low, if the Grimm (With Salem's help) couldn't find it, then what chances do they have finding it?
If people of Remnant couldn't find or get inside Drangleic for over thousands of years, then I got nothing to worry about. Especially since they won't getting in my way to build my own kingdom and restore Drangleic to its former glory... Buuuut if they DO some-Fucking-how get past the barrier that Aldia brough up all those years ago, at very least I'll give them the benefit of doubt and if they prove themself too much of a bothersome... Well, I'll get to there once I manage to make excellent defenses and units capable of taking care of their little robots and flying ships.
Never underestimate the power of nature, believe me! The sheer amount of bullshit you can do with Nature magic is simply astonishing that I'm honestly surprised none of the Night elves or anyone going as a druid in WOW uses their powers to its fullest!
Like, throw couple of seeds on one of the Atlas Paladins, bada-bing bada-boom large thick vines and roots wrap around the walking tank and crushes it into paste!
I shake my head at some of the more simplier magic tricks that could be used to literally kick Atlas ass if they decided to ever become a threat to me. But knowing human nature they fear of things they don't understand so they will either try take control of me or kill me and destroy my kingdom. And i'm not going to let them take everything I worked for away for any stupid reasons they can come up with.
As long they leave me alone, i'll leave them alone.
Because... Well, right now other than try reshape Drangleic into my own kingdom, I got nothing else in plan.
What do i wanna do once I conquered Drangleic? I could try make diplomatic approach with the rest of the world but that will only result in problems for me, especially since I'm not good with politics... And I hate Politics. There could be thousands of Humans and Faunus that might try to invade my new home just so that they could learn how to use magic, not to mention with Ozpin and Salem with both of them either try to recruit me to their damn shadow war.
...Then again that is Waaaay off, meaning I have a LOT of time to plan ahead and make precautions on the hundreds of possible scenarios that might escalate.
Turning the tv off as it now plays commercials, I just went over to the king sized bed and just stared at it. I seen in real life shows and cartoons/anime with beds like these and they always goes off how frickin good it feels to lie in them.
Welp, gonna test the theory out and see if it is good to lie on!
And so I just turn around, raised my arms and jumped backward and plopped down onto the soft bed as I bounce up and down and Ho-ho-holy shit! It FEELS good! This is the probably the softest bed I've ever lied on!
"Hah~!" I just let out a mewl of sheer bliss of just how wonderfully soft my bed feels like.
I'm not sure how long I just lied there, just lying there with no worries of the world around me, like at all~
I think i'm going to get used to thi-
"Is this thing on? Hello? Lady Taesi?"
"GAAH!?"
I suddenly jumped in surprise and fright as I suddenly heard Sarlina's voice in my bloody head! I panted out of fright but calmed enough to respond "S-Sarlina? That's you?" hearing an amused chuckle she responds "Yes it is me, I wish to inform you that the Wisp have just recently finished up cleaning the place up and converted the ruined settlement into useful resources. You can go into Bird eye's view and control your units from your room to begin constructing buildings."
"Remember; you need three Moon Wells, an Ancient of War and the Altar of Elders. I recommend starting with the Altar first then the moon wells."
"Right, gotcha!" I answered then felt the connection me and Sarlina have disconnected.
Alright, time to build!
I closed my eyes and focused into changing my view and sure enough it became a blur for a second and next, seeing a third of Majula right above it along with the Tree of life and the five wisps. Looking at my current funds I see that out of both the quest reward money I got along with scrapping the ruined village I have over 3000 gold and over 500 lumber. Good enough for a start of my new village.
First I ordered the Tree of life to spawn three more wisp which it went right away to work on it, then ordered one of the wisp to do as Sarlina says and construct the Altar of Elders right next to the Tree of life, just to be safe.
After that I ordered the three wisp to construct each Moon wells while the last Wisp to become an Ancient of War in the middle of the Majula. Once done, I set the order path for the new Wisp spawning to go right ahead to gather lumber while the others are building the things I need for my base. looking at the timer of each building being constructed it's going to take a while, like and hour or so.
Exiting the Bird eye's view I just shrugged, not really can do anything about the time needed to build them but, eh? whatever~
After I telepathically, Which took time to figure out how to do it, told Sarlina i'm done and we just need to wait for the buildings to be done, she was pleased and told me to take my time relaxing before signalling me when the structures are done. So with nothing better to do, I went right away to play on my Playstation and just let the time flow like it always does when focusing on my games~
By the time I manage to reach one of the bosses in Crash bandicoot and beaten the lanky bastard, Sarlina contacted me. Telling me the Altar of Elder is finished and wants me to come and learn more what else the structure can do other than reviving my ass. With a sigh and pausing the game I went downstairs and left the building and inspected of what Majula have become.
A hell of a lot better, I say! Where the blacksmith's house used to be was three Moon wells and already has magical water flowing in the well, Near the pit where the bonfire or house used to be is where the Ancient of War is located and it sees me and waves at me. Which makes me smiles and wave back at it, looking to my left where the merchant house used to be is the Altar of Elders located with Sarlina standing in front of it waiting for me.
"There you are!" Sarlina smiles and waves "Come, so that I can teach you the important aspect of this structure!"
"Sure!" I jogged over and followed up the stairs where the statue of a robed night elf woman stood before us. Now that i'm thinking about it as I looked at both the Altar of Elders and the rest of the architectures of the Night elf buildings, most of them looks quite a bit like the reforge Warcraft 3.
Kinda bummed Blizzard didn't hold their promises, but at least the graphic of the game looks a hell of a lot better.
When me and Sarlina stood before a large rune circle in front of the statue, did she turn to me and began explaining "Now, i know you're curious as to why I brought you here, right?" Nodding to her she continue "Well, the Altar of Elder does more than simply revive not only you but other hero units as well. What it does is that you can summon other people from whatever fictional worlds your previous world has, wether they're Master chief himself from Halo or Scorpion from Mortal Kombat."
"However, this goes both ways as you can not only summon special hero units but also normal NPC units."
"NPC units?" I ask.
"Yes." Sarlina began "NPC units are special because they contribute to your base in so many different ways, you can summon a skilled alchemist or a leatherworker that makes leather armour, even a personal trainer to help you with your combat abilities...Speaking of Combat abilities." Sarlina frowns then sighs "Not gonna lie, I looked at your combat performance against the Hollows and the Lizardmen and quite frankly, you did terrible." Ouch.
I wince at her blunt honesty, but didn't deny that.
Thinking back on it, I did pretty poorly. The Hollows were practically jokes and the Lizardmen did get the upperhand twice against me. The only reason I manage to survive against the Shaman and his two minions was due to Evasive skill activated on its own, likely it knew I was in trouble and pretty much did all the work for me. Sighed I nodded at her as she was right "Yeah, I did pretty poorly... Mostly because I never trained how to fight, so I pretty much just flailed wildy like a wild animal."
Sarlina nods "Indeed, but luckily that's why we're here. Please check your inventory." Raising an eyebrow I looked into my inventory and to my surprise I have three items in my hammerspace pocket.
Three summoning crystals, they have this image of a light blue crystal with a large letter of C on it. Curious I took one out and held it in my hand. It was rather large but quite light and gave off a light glow with a hum sound coming out of it.
"As you can see." Looking up at Sarlina as she explains "What you have is a summoning crytals, right now you have C ranked summoning crystal."
"C ranked? wait so these guys i'm going to summoned are ranked?"
"Precise. Each have strength and weaknesses of their own, even you have one and it's currently rank E" yikes "But don't worry, if you spend one of the crystals you can summon a personal trainer that can help you improve your fighting style and the way how to fight with your weapons properly. Now" Gesturing toward the rune circle "Please present the crystal and pronounce loudly what you wish to summon."
I looked back and forth at the crystal in my hand and the rune circle, I stepped forward and held the crystal in front of me and exclaimed "I wished to summon a Personal Trainer!" No sooner I said that the Crystal in my hand began to float away and hover above the circle, glowed brightly then flashes; blinding me for a second until my vision came back.
Me and Sarlina stood there and watch as the sphere of lights flew around and began to form a very tall humanoid figure and from the bottom began to materialize the person's feet then the rest slowly as the light ascends upward. Soon the Person whom happens to be clearly a Night elf finally materialize and it is-
"AAAAAAAUUUUUUUGH~ ISHNU-ALAH My Weary Cat Queen~!"
...FUCKING HELL, WHY!? WHY!? OUT OF ALL PEOPLE THAT I COULD SUMMON, WHYYYY!?
What stood before me was Ilthalaine, the first night elf NPC you meet whenever you start as a night elf player at Darnassus in World of Warcraft.
Except there is a problem... This Ilthalaine is Nixxiom's version of Ilthalaine and well...
"Ooooh~ I have answered your call my weary Queeeeen, what can this willing servant do for you~? Ooooh~!"
*Sound of ass-cheek slapping*
...That. That is the problem, he's a bisexual pervert that goes WAY overboard with his sexuality.
Like. WAY. OVERBOARD.
And fucking hell I just realized that HE is going to be the one to help train me to be a better fighter than what I currently am...FFFFFFFFF-
"W-Well it appears your summoning is successful..." Oh right forgot Sarlina was there as well, glancing to her I could see that she was just as uncomfortable as I was with this situation. "A-Anyway" the Night elf advisor said "Ilthalaine, our lady has summoned you to help her with her training. Think you can go over to the training room and await until she's ready?"
"Of course, weary Advisor~!" Ilthalaine exclaims "I'll head right away and prepare for our..." Then he inhales and makes these weird slurping sounds with his mouth "Special training together~ Ooooh!" And then he grabbed his crotch, pelvic thrusted and literally glides out of the Altar of Elders and toward to the Tree of life without even lifting his legs while still thrusting.
"..."
"..."
"Hey Sarlina..."
"Yes?"
"Is... Is summoning characters from the Altar of Elders tied to my preferences of what I subconsciously wants or is it completely random?"
"I-I do believe it is completely random, my lady."
"Oh thank frickin god!" I exclaims "For a second i was worried for my mental stability after summoning that...Thing! Oh god! to make matter worse, he's going to be the one to train me as well!"
"W-Well, my lady. At least you get some form of training, just... Cover yourself with whatever you can find and you should be fine... I think."
"That's not helping!"
After that... Enlightenment event, I calmed down enough to summon two other npc that could be of great use, A cook and a ranger captain. The cook was obvious as we needed someone to help fix food so that we do not starve, which I realized I haven't eaten for nearly two days now and barely feel a thing, but also an archer captain as Sarlina recommended that I summon a sergeant of some kind that would be helping me lead the troops in combat.
The Ranger captain is a night elf woman with Silver long hair and golden eyes, wearing a more modified archer armour in game and her name is Mydriel Oceanarrow. She seems fierce and stern but shows respect and admiration when she saw me. Right now she's the closest that I have as a hero unit until i get a Heroic summoning crystal, which Sarlina explained as these Heroic crystal are golden with S symbol on them.
Now for the cook, he took me by surprise along with the explanation that it's not only Night elves I can summon and control but various other races as well!
The cook is a bloody troll, a blue skinned hunched over troll in chef's outfit! he looked like any other regular trolls, long tusk and mohawk crazy red hair. So far this guy seems polite and has this friendly atmosphere around him.
With both of them summoned I sent the cook into the main HQ to prepare the meals, while me, Sarlina and Mydriel went over to the Ancient of war to summon a squad of Night elf archers. Thankfully Sarlina had the foresight to summon them in my stead while we dicked around at the Altar of Elders and as we neared the giant tree, a group of 7 night elf garbed in regular night elf archer uniform stood waiting for us.
To my surprise it was mixed with men and women and their outfits seems to be inspired from the...Shudder Battle of Azeroth garb for the night elves.
As I stood there examining the group of elves in front of me, Mydriel steps forward with a commanding voice "Stand in order, brothers and sisters!" The elves stood straight and show of military stance, with Mydriel went to stand with them.
"We're ready for orders Lady Taesi!" mydriel said, with the others exclaims that they are ready as well.
I nodded at them "Thank you, ok right now we just began constructing our very first base." I began to explain "Right now, we need to secure Majula even more as last night I had to battle against not only hollows but Lizardmen as well. I don't want to take any chances if they're still skulking around waiting for the right opportunity to strike when we're unaware."
"I'll summon more of your brethrens in a minute. Mydriel, can you handle with the new recruits and give them order to keep watch and scout the surrounding forest while i'm... Training with Ilthalaine to sharpen my combat skills." I shudder at the last part, just thinking about starting my training with that guy and likelihood losing my virginity or my mind.
"It will be done, Lady Luvidas!" Mydriel exclaims and turn to her comrades "You heard the lady, let's secure the perimeter!"
"Yes captain!"
I watched as the night elves ranger march to do their order while I commanded the Ancient of war to summon two squads of Archers. Sarlina mentioned that it would probably be a good idea to command the wisp to make houses and barracks for the militia to rest in.
I agreed and went ahead to order the current wisp that didn't have anything to do at the moment and they went right away to construct night elven houses around Majula, enough that it doesn't take too much space with what I have as I noted that Majula is not big enough to create a large base with more larger and powerful units to wander around.
After I was done with that, Sarlina suggested that I go back to the tree of life to begin with my training, even if i'm very reluctanct to do that, the sooner I start the better I'll become to the point I don't need any further training from that guy and then just, ditch in the woods or something.
With great reluctance I walked back to the large building in front of the Tree of life, went over to where the training room and already i could hear the sound of whipping and the suggestive moaning coming from there.
It literally takes every willpower and courage to not just storm the fuck out of there, but I forced myself inside and I see the pervy elf doing some weird dance moves.
The moment he saw me he stopped and exclaims "Aaaaaah~ Ishnu-alah weary trainee~! Are you ready for your" Once again inhales and licks his lips "Special training~?"
Oh god what am I getting into!?
Three days later...
"Uuuugh... Somebody kill me already...!"
I groaned in pain and discomfort of how bloody sore my body feel, i'm in a lot of pain and even in places I didn't even knew existed!
I just sat in my bathtube naked, letting the water from the Moon well soak me up as I was way too tired to properly even move at all.
Ever since I started my training with Ilthalaine it's been nothing but hell, thankfully he is actually a decent trainer and shows me a lot of moves and maneuver, even with how well endowed my body is. He shows me tricks to use my body as a weapon along using my race anatomy into my favour as i'm very much more powerful than an average human along with animal senses and pure Spiritual and Nature magic.
What I could do well without is his constant flirting and getting WAY too close in my personal space!
...Nor witnessing him fucking a bear out in the woods whenever i want to take a walk in the morning.
Anyway... So far things actually been going well. My base have progress a little during past three days with two new Moon wells along with houses for my troops to sleep in and taking a break. Not only that but I could hire civilians that would help out both the economy, hunting and raising farms.
Which I immediately choose to summon a dozen of them as I needed people to help keep the village going while my troops keeps an eye out for any dangers.
Speaking of Dangers, Mydriel and some of her troops did encounter more Lizardmen out in the woods, watching my base from afar and seemingly writting down our openings and weaknesses. They manage to drive them away while killing few and destroyed whatever intel they manage to write down, once the captain informed me of this I had the tree of life spawn more wisp and used them to construct ancient protectors around the village.
Two at the front entrance, two near the entrance to the sewers where you could go to the Heide tower of flame and two near the Tree of life with the addition of one in the middle of the village to keep the civilian safe.
Not only that but I summoned a squad of Huntresses, their sabercats would be the quite useful to sniff out any of the Lizardmen trying to infiltrate the base when no one is watching. Though chances are very unlikely as the night elves pretty much showed me how fucking of a beast they are in combat. While clearing out some other ruins nearby majula of untethered hollows and wandering lizardmen, the Archers that I summoned not only one shotted most of the enemies with scary accuracy by via headshots or right in the hearts, but they also showed me that they can go into close combat with their blades and the sheer skills and speed they just did made me really look like an amateur in comparisson.
Which is probably why i'm getting my ass beaten by that perverted elf...
Although I have improved quite a lot, according to Sarlina I was no longer around E rank but a Plus D rank, meaning if I continue training with Ilthalaine for another week I would be around the same level in skills as my rangers are in close combat.
That is reassuring, to say the least...
Also I leveled up a bit as well!

The title has been quite useful gaining quick levels, though I kind of wished its been higher but due to the weak enemies around the forest, they don't exactly yield that much EXP. But either way, i'm way much stronger than I once was before start building my base~
"hah~" I sighed in relief as I just sank in the warm waters, allowing my sore body to simply relax and heal from the training bruises I got from that perverted elf. As much I hate to admit it, he is good at what he does as a trainer but his...Fetishes is just fucking awkward.
Damn you Nixxiom...Why couldn't you just made him into a frickin normal elf?
I just sighed and let the back of my head rest against the edge of the Bathtube and just, let my mind wander in sheer bliss.
"My lady!"
"GAH!?" I shrieked in surprised and jumped, splashes the water around me as Sarlina suddenly shouted in my head.
"My lady, come quickly! We're under attack!" My eyes widen in shock from hearing that.
"WHAT!?" Immediately I jumped out of the bathtube, quickly went into my inventory and equiped my Assassin gear, ignoring the fact I was still wet as I ran over to the open wide window to see a horrible sight.
Currently it's night time but that doesn't change much for me as my Nekomata traits allows me to see well in the darkness, but what I see in front of me boils my blood.
Lizardmen... A small army of Lizardmen somehow manage to invade my base and my warriors are doing their best to fend them off. Spotting couple of my civilian night elves running from the battle toward the Tree of life, while the ancient protector doing their best to cover their retreat. I spots couple of Lizardmen charging after them, roaring and leering with their weapons in the air.
Growling in anger at these monsters attacking my home, I leapt out of the window and just as one of the Lizardmen was about to strike the fleeing civilian I landed top of it and plunged my dagger into its heart. Killing it instantly as its comrades froze in shock of my sudden arrival.
"Run!" I belowed at the civilians and they didn't need to be told twice as they manage to reach the large building.
I cast my gaze at the Lizardmen in front of me and glared hatefully at them, they snapped out of their trance and belowed a war cry and charges at me with their weapons raised. Quickly looking at their levels, they're pitifully just level 1 or 2 and I just side stepped their attacks with ease, slashing their throats while I calmly walked toward the other Lizardmen who stops in their tracks after I easily dispatched four of their comrades.
They eyed me with scorn and fear, trying to circle me as I watch for every weaknesses, every opening they seems to have. Five of them surrounds me and they all charges at me, intent to either kill me or capture me.
Either way, it's finally time to put Ilthalaine's training to use.
I quickly ducked under the first Lizard's strike and slashes his throat, went and manage to grab one of the arm of the lizardmen and threw him over me and crashes into one of his buddies. I threw one of my daggers into the throat of another Lizardmen as his buddy ran past him roaring, Using my other dagger and parried his strike while kneed him in the stomach. he keels over which I used to plunge my short blade into the back of his head.
Tilting my head to the side as a spear nearly impaled me from the last Lizardmen who threw it, I spun around and threw my dagger into his shoulder, stunning him as I ran up to up to him and ran past of the dead lizardmen that has my dagger in his throat and snatched it up and struck right into its scaly stomach.
It gasps but cries out in pain as I drew the dagger in his stomach to the side, spilling his guts out in the open and tore my other dagger in his shoulder out and used it to plunge it right to the side of his head; killing it.
I stepped back and looked around to see my handiwork, well now... looks like the three days of torture with that damn elf actually paid off!
Hearing another battle cry from the Lizardmen to the side, I readied myself with my daggers as three of them charges at me... until two of them were sliced in two by a large three bladed glaive and the last Lizardmen was suddenly pounced by one of my Huntresses and her sabercat, digging its sharp fangs deep into its throat and rips it's flesh out.
"My lady, are you well?" The huntress ask
I merely nods "I am, where is Captain Mydriel?" The huntress points over to where the pathway leading to the forest of the fallen giant is. Noticing very quickly it seems most of my troops manage to repel nearly all of the Lizardmen as their corpses littered the ground.
"C'mon, let's drive these mongrols back to whatever hole they dug from!" I ordered and the Huntress nods.
We both ran in high speed toward the fighting, as we neared i could see Captain Mydriel firing her bow expertly at the Lizardmen coming out of the Rampart. each arrow strike true into their heads or hearts, killing them in mass.
As we neared i leaped up in the air and did a roll in midair and pounced at one of the shamans that was about to fire its magic at my captain ranger with my daggers, digging into its back.
The creature screech in pain but was silenced as I pressed my foot against the back of its neck and broke it. Raising my blade to block an attack from one of the creatures, it didn't get to do anything as it was brought down with arrows from my rangers. Soon enough we began to mop up the rest that still fought while the surviving Lizardmen fleed back into the rampart, in the underground tunnel.
Once the last Lizardmen died by one of my huntresses slashing with her Glaive, seperating its head from its body did everything quiet down.
"Everyone listen up!" I barked out, gaining attention of everyone around me "Gather the wounded and have them treated by the Moon Wells, Mydriel I want a scout force follow after the fleeing Lizardmen and see where their lairs is located. The rest of you, gather the bodies of the Dead lizards and burn them and keep vigilance for any more attacks!"
"Yes, m'lady!" the Night elves exclaimed and went to work.
I stood there and sighed. Looking around i could see that most were wounded by the surprise attack but luckily no one was killed, the buildings were lit on fire but with the help of the wisp they took care of it.
I wasn't sure how long I stood there, watching my warriors do their jobs. it went for a while until Sarlina walked up to me as it began to rain.
"My lady are you alright?" I didn't answer, just sighed.
"I'm well... Just wished I was more prepared for this, I should have known the Rampart leading into the Forest of the Fallen giants was just another way for those fuckers to attack us. But I underestimated their intelligence, instead of building more ancient protectors to cover this flank and now a third of my forces are wounded due to my oversight of this place. This won't happen again." I growled out in the end, my eyes narrowing while glaring at the direction of where the Lizardmen fled.
"I see... Don't blame yourself for this Taesi." Sarlina says "We all make mistakes, all we can do is learn from it and grow stronger." I didn't say anything but slowly nodded.
"Sarlina, once our forces have patched their wounds. I want a good chunk of our forces to go inside the tunnels, make camp inside the cavern chamber where the pool of water resides and await for futher commands. Tomorrow we begin our campaign." Sarlina blinked in surprise at my command and cannot help but ask.
"I'll see to it that it is done, but what exactly do you mean by campaign?"
I said nothing, just gripped my daggers tightly out of anger of the sheer arrogance of these fucking things, thinking they can attack me and not expect me to retaliate for their transgression? Of what they were about to do to my people?
Finally I answered as I glances to Sarlina with my eyes narrowed and glowed in the dark.
"We go to war."
Elsewhere in the ash covered land, black landscape and magma was everywhere. Smoke covered the sky and the air barely breathable due to the extreme heat and smoke. however despite this desolation of fire and smoke, lies an ancient structure with lava and heat coming out of it.
The Iron keep.
Long has the structure been abandoned, the production ceased and the ancient servant that still guards the ancient place stood guard for any intruder. This was a place of evil, once ruled by a short-sighted king that only wanted power and he did everything to obtain it. Even to the point of creating an army of living armour that moves on their own, creating creatures straight out of nightmares to torment others who did not submit to his rule.
This, was the production site for the Old Iron king.
Alas, the old tyrant has been dead for quite some time now... Thanks to his death, peace returned to the very land that would become Drangleic but at the cost of his creation running amok, out in the wilderness.
Everything stood still, even as lava flowed through the ancient system the Iron keep has, nothing moved nor created... Until now.
The knightly armour beings that stood guard suddenly twitched, after so many years of standing at the spot since the death of the Iron king they finally made movement and moved away from their post. before, one or two moved, now hundreds began to move. Many are either rearming themself or move over to continue in their place where the living servants used to make weapons and armour for the short-sighted king, continue the production of new armour and weapons.
Creatures and horrifying monsters that stalks the lower chambers of the Iron keep stirred and howled, as if answering an unspoken command and began to move up to help the suits of living armour with the production.
And outside the ancient structure, in a wide ocean like pool of lava bubbled for a moment as a deep roar echoed through the ashen landscape.
Things are heating up! With the Lizardmen attacking and trying to nab some of the asses and now they got a pissed off neko girl and elves, you all know what that means right? It's time for WAR!
