Evil Eye was internally jumping for joy, she definitely had to thank Lakyus later. The group had split into two separate teams.
Team 1 is Momon and Evil Eye. While Team 2 is Lakyus, Nabe, and Tina.
Lakyus managed to convince Nabe to go with her and Tina during the debriefing stage of the plan, but as they left Lakyus winked at her whispering "Good luck".
She is going to make the most of this opportunity while, of course, completing the task. Her star-like eyes shine with passion as they silently walk along through the passage. Her eyes once again bear deep into the back of his black helmet.
"Is something wrong?" Momon asked
"Uh … no."
Evil Eye's face brightens red. Luckily, it seems that Momon didn't notice what she wanted to do.
They quietly walk down the underground halls that Evil Eye had walked around when she was still in her bunny outfit that she still feels a little uncomfortable in.
Evil Eye's gears are still turning in her brain thinking of something, anything they could talk about.
Where was I, oh yes … what do I really know about him? She pondered.
He is an Adamantine level warrior with a female companion. Who comes from a far-off land…? Who is ... my hero?
She then has the sudden realization that she doesn't know Momon as a person.
This … is unacceptable.
With a newfound motivation shining in her eyes, she attempts to ask Momon out on a date.
"Hey, Momon."
"Yes, how may I help you?"
"W-would you like to have a d-drink after the … mission?"
After stuttering out those words her face blushed even brighter, glancing at his helmet hoping for even a glimpse of what he is thinking.
After an awkward silence.
"I don't normally drink, but that sounds nice."
Yessssssssssssssssssssss
"Hey! Stop right there!"
Two guards charged towards them, spears at the ready. She could hear Momon unsheathe his greatswords. Those guards didn't stand a chance.
The towering figure with the [Rocket Lance] in hand blasted past the clouds of dust and aimed it towards Lakyus. She could only curse underneath her breath as she barely managed to dodge the spinning drill. How fast this mountain of a man was, was comical.
The man rocketed past them attacking Nabe, she cast [Lesser Agility] and dodged majestically moving past the man. After dodging, she shot out multiple [Magic Arrows] at the towering man. He turned around using the Drill Lance and spun it around resulting in him deflecting the arrows instead of them hitting him, however, this didn't seem to decrease his rapid approach.
Lakyus signaled Tina and they stood in front of Nabe protecting their magic caster.
"[Lesser Agility] [Lesser Speed]."
Lakyus and Tina both felt a warm feeling flow over them as their speed increased. Lakyus ran with her body closer to the ground holding her mallet in hand preparing to smash him, it resulted in her and Tina running towards him in a kind of triangle formation.
When they entered his Lance's range, they barely managed to dodge his barrage of thrusts. Lakyus managed to maneuver past the lance with a look of determination in her eyes. She swung with all her strength at the side of his head but right before she could hit him, he muttered "[Martial Art: Body Strengthening]".
She still hit him, but it only made him flinch a little. He threw his spear into the direction of Tina, while swinging his arm chanting "[Martial Art: Flow Acceleration] [Ability Boost]".
He twisted his body aiming for Lakyus. His already massive fist flew at her burrowing itself into her stomach sending her flying. She grits her teeth as she tumbles into the ground scratching up her netted bunny outfit. Her legs nets are torn apart, her shoulders are scratched up by a painful landing from being tossed.
She gets up and looks around for her weapon which left her grip when she was sent flying. She saw Tina aim for his neck but was punched much like she was earlier.
A white light shone off of the walls with a tree-like pattern as Nabe cast a spell.
"[Electro-Sphere]."
Nabe held two white balls of lightning that shone with a white halo surrounding her hands, sparks connecting between the two balls as she aimed it at the insect. The sparks collided into a large bolt of white electricity coursing its way into Maxim's body.
The entire room was bathed in a shining white light.
Fredrick the Third drank his wine, it had a nice fruity aftertaste. It was a rare wine imported from the Theocracy produced by the Ambroise fruit, nicknamed the Fruit of the Gods by those that had eaten it.
It is known to cure almost all illnesses as well as replenish the user's strength. Due to this fact it is incredibly rare and the Theocracy does not trade it with other nations and only uses it on their own forces.
Luckily for him, he has ties in the Theocracy and is able to get 'exclusive' access to it. He made his fortune by selling goods made with the fruit. Of course, he has his own fields of Ambroise which are watched over 24/7. He knows that the Theocracy will eventually find his ties and he doesn't want his fortune to dry up when they take measures against him.
He currently has over 40 acres of Ambroise on his land and is working on growing more.
Due to his access to Ambroise, Heller reached to him and offered him business proposals, some included deals with the Eight Fingers. He gladly agreed mainly because he trusts Heller as they go way back, although, their relationship has been strained as of late.
In the middle of sigh ... he groaned. What he is currently being surrounded by are his recently acquired slaves. He looks down at his faithful servant sucking on his knob. He also has another one working with his cheek.
Two girls are kissing his chest as well as his other cheek. He looks around the room and the rustic bed that he finds himself laying on – it is something that he can appreciate. He closes his eyes embracing his pleasure.
He feels the blonde-haired girl working, it reminds him of the hot servant he met on top. He asked for her to come to his bedchambers, but she has not been found. She has probably been servicing another noble, somewhat disappointed he sighs again.
He starts to relax; little does he know of what is coming.
Two bodies fell to the ground in a flash. Momon and Evil Eye walked over the bodies of fallen guards. They pick up their pace as they are approaching the center room, hearing a symphony of footsteps as around 50 spear-ready guards stand in front of them. Momon chuckled underneath his breath, for a normal person this would be impossible but this is nothing for a servant of the Supreme Beings.
He unsheathes his two great swords in a single fluid motion, standing with one of the great swords positioned in front of him and the other being held out. The front-most guards charge towards them thrusting their spears. He parries several of the spears before slashing, alternating between the two great swords in his hands. His ten attackers all fall in less than ten seconds.
"[Crystal Dagger]."
His bunny companion is now launching spears at the remaining guards, a chorus of grunts as 10 more guards are knocked out. The thirty remaining guards charge knowing that if they stay there, they are dead anyway.
Most of them threw away their lives that night.
