Hello people and welcome back to Goblin Slayer: The Team Year 2. Quite a bit of time at the beach eh? Well, now it's back to business for the two teams since the ruins were restored by some unknown force. It must be the Evil Sect...or was it?
Review Response: Well...yeah, why would the team waste time tearing it's insides when they could just blow it's brains apart? Doesn't make alot of sense if you think about it. As for Cherub restoring the ship and the team getting info from the elves...well, why not?
The Cambion's origins and plans are yet to be revealed, but chances are...he either spawned from a high-ranking demon, or got tainted. I'll never tell...
Huh...GS retiring or continuing to adventure are pretty obvious...unless some third option comes up.
Damn straight the ruins are going to get attention...
Storm Mage lashed into the crowd of imps and shredded/paralyzed roughly a dozen in one swipe, and finished them off with the other. He even latched onto some flying imps, or Prides, and either yanked them into other demons, or even pulled himself to them and punched them into the others, or used them to jump off of and whip others. Several imps jumped up at him, and he spun around rapidly, keeping himself in mid-air and shredding the imps. Some where even pulled into the tornado of blood he was making out of the imps' comrades and were shredded themselves. He then used some of his alchemical prowess to rid himself of the demon blood by absorbing it into his armor.
"Anyone else what some?" Storm Mage called out, then a Luster burst out of the ground and lashed around with it's tentacles, and he put his sword-whips away and unloaded some lightning into it and it spasmed out, then while it was vulnerable, he charged up his sword-whips as much as possible, then tore open it's abdomen, if you can call it that, latched onto the beasts' heart, and flooded it with enough lightning to make it pop inside it's body as it shrivels up like a dying flower. Then he looks around to see if any other demons wanted a piece of him, and when none appeared, he exited Limbo, and went back to the Guild Hall to talk to the other demon hunters.
"What's new brother?" Summoner asked.
"Well, I just tore a bunch of demons a new one in Limbo." Storm Mage said as he sat down.
"The second sword-whip help?" Summoner asked.
"You've no idea." Storm Mage said.
"Is Her Grace doing alright?" Summoner asked knowingly and Storm Mage looked at the people who were giving the two demon hunters a wide berth since...demon hunters aren't known for being socially desirable.
"In more ways than one, yes." Storm Mage said with zero shame.
"Good for you both." Summoner said seriously. His brother sleeping with the Archbishop was nothing to make fun of, even if her ordeal wasn't common knowledge by any means.
"Do you have anything new yourself?" Storm Mage asked.
"Other than the last time I saw that Wizard girl, I taught her how to make a World Spawn, and what the pros and cons are." Summoner said.
"May I ask what they are?" Storm Mage asked.
"Well...the pros are pretty obvious; it's the strongest type of summon for a reason, but the cons are that it's about as far from stealthy, and space-saving as it can get, and it costs a shit ton of summon stones just to make one of them." Summoner said.
"O.k. then..." Storm Mage said in exasperation.
"You keep tabs on those people? Cause I don't." Summoner said.
"Not excessively, but last I heard from them, they mentioned hitting a beach." Storm Mage said.
"Wow...lucky bastards. I'll bet Her Grace would like that sometime." Summoner said.
"Maybe..." Storm Mage said before sighing. "How's your team?"
"We went our separate ways remember?" Summoner said.
"There's no way you don't keep tabs on them." Storm Mage said.
"Right...well, they're inside and probably looking for a new quest, as if they needed to look inside." Summoner said.
"So, why are they?" Storm Mage asked.
"Probably to get a laugh out of some people's reactions to them." Summoner said dryly.
"Right..." Storm Mage said as he shook his head before Assassin came out.
"We have a new contact..." Assassin said and Elder Revenant followed her out and the two brothers stood up.
"And...you are?" Summoner asked.
"An enemy of your enemies." Elder Revenant said.
"O...k...you have a job for us?" Storm Mage asked.
"Not you; the Sword Maiden still has need of you. Your three demon hunting companions however, could be of service outside of Water Town." Elder Revenant said.
"I'm not leaving my brother." Storm Mage said.
"As you wish..." Elder Revenant said.
"Alright, let's go save some people." Summoner said with confidence.
"The people are already dead, but we can contain and destroy the demons and goblins responsible." Elder Revenant said.
"O...k...let's go avenge some people." Summoner said and Elder Revenant took the three demon hunters to a hidden place, took out a scythe, charged it up, cut into space itself, and they went to a fortified farm overrun with goblins and demons.
The slaughter was quick and undeniable. Assassin and Werewolf tore through every goblin in sight, Summoner spawned elements by the handful of just about every type, Storm Mage shredded and paralyzed goblins and demons that got too close with his sword-whips, and Elder Revenant...his case was the most extreme by far...
Elder Revenant charged him with purple energy, dashed around around and sliced up the Wrathers with one swing of his scythe for each of them, sometimes summoned his skeletal avatar and had it sweep it's scythe around to clear out some Prides, he jumped, rolled, and flipped over and around several foes while slicing through them, or others, and since demons didn't have souls; they were their souls, and they "re-spawned" in Hell, ripping out their souls was pointless, same with this particular bunch of goblins. But the dead could be raised and turned into allies, so them, on top of the flocks of crow familiars Elder Revenant summoned turned this into a massacre he alone could do alone. The undead juggernaut even poured dust, and shards of bone out of his body that tore the goblins and demons apart on their own accord, and when some more Wrathers and Gluttons showed up, he spawned some phantoms copies of himself to engage them while his physical body engaged the goblins trying to flee itself by throwing scythes that homed in on them, as he charged after them and clobbered them while his scythes continued to fly around and carve through the goblins far from him.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the farm, Assassin was dancing, kicking, stabbing, and slicing through goblins and demons galore, if she wasn't throwing and shooting her knives at them. Werewolf was chopping down goblins and demons with his axes. You'd think axes wouldn't be much good for finesse, but people who think that never met Werewolf; he wielded his axes as if they weighed nothing, and they were laced with silver to weaken the demons so he weakens them before cleaving through them like melted butter. Eventually, he shifted to his wolf form let off an ear-splitting howl that stunned the goblins, then started tearing, crushing, shredding, and even tossing goblins around like ragdolls, and mauled the demons with just as much ease. He partially had his mate to thank; she crippled a Wrather or two, and he finished it off. He was hit by a goblin's spear every now and then, but as a werewolf, his regeneration, inhuman durability, and his killer instincts ensured it didn't mean much. Assassin then took her own werewolf form and doubled the slaughter, especially since the two lycanthropes ganged up on some demons to take them down.
The two mage brothers were watching the others tear through the unholy horde with awe in their faces.
"You have any spare storm elemental stones?" Storm Mage asked.
"Knock yourself out." Summoner said as he forked over 4 of them.
"I don't need them now...hopefully, but I want to help Her Grace as much as I can." Storm Mage said seriously.
"Unreal, even at a time like this you're a softie for a lady." Summoner teased.
"The best lady I ever met brother." Storm Mage said and a Pride swooping down, only to be skewered by an ice elemental got their heads back in the fight.
"Right, kill now, everything else later." Summoner said as he drew power from the ice elemental, and made a fortified ice tower to freeze, and shoot ice spikes at the demons and goblins he spots. He even summons a storm elemental for his brother who was forming clouds overhead and he sparked several of them.
"Alright... this kind of power will come in handy." Storm Mage said before pulling his sword whips and thrusting his blades out to impale a Wrather right through it's gut, electrifies it so intensely, the lightning bursts out of it, hits another, then another, then he removes the blade, uppercuts a Pride behind him, ripping it vertically in half, then shreds a few dozen imps and goblins but twirling his sword-whips around in front of him. Then he puts his sword-whips away, charges his hands themselves, and then punches down goblins that either got too close, or he got close to himself. Every one of them getting their brains fried, or at least paralyzed. When he was done, he stomped the paralyzed ones' heads in. He couldn't help but notice the amount of force he used was abit overkill; maybe the Sword Maiden's ordeal lingered in his mind a bit...but that was all the more reason to be with her; not only does her case need to be addressed, but his own apparently.
"That should be all of them..." Elder Revenant said as he returned to the demon hunters casually.
"I'd hope so, there must be dozens, if not hundreds of dead goblins and demons here." Storm Mage said with emphasis.
"Now there's only two more things for me to do..." Elder Revenant said as he went to a nearby shrine with twin scythes.
"Wait a minute...I recognize this shrine. This is the same farm I helped defend a year ago! I barely recognized it with all the fortifications." Storm Mage said in awe.
"For all the good they did." Assassin said casually. "There's a dead man in the main house. I'm guessing he ran this place."
"What? Dear Supreme, no!" Storm Mage said in horror as he rushed to the house and found the man he somehow recognized as Cow Girl's uncle; those sick bastards butchered him, probably while he was alive and screaming!
"You know this man?" Summoner asked as Storm Mage looked over the man's barely recognizable body.
"Yes...he helped me when I got injured by a hob. I hope his niece is at the beach with the others; I can't stand the idea of her being used by these things..." Storm Mage said.
"She must be. I sense no other souls except that man's, and no other revenants were here." Elder Revenant said.
"So you are a revenant!" Storm Mage said.
"Not just a revenant, I am probably the oldest, and most powerful revenant in the entire country. Maybe in history." Elder Revenant said as he walked to the man's body and knelt.
"What are you doing?" Assassin asked as the revenant extracted the man's soul.
"We revenants give souls to the Death God in exchange for more power, and every soul counts, even if our goal wasn't for personal gain." Elder Revenant said as he walked off. "Now...there are a bounty of souls to collect elsewhere..."
"Hey! Could you at least send us back home?" Storm Mage called and Elder Revenant casually tore open a portal back to Water Town.
"You have one minute..." Elder Revenant said as he kept walking, then the team went through the portal.
"Supreme be with that farm girl when she sees this..." Storm Mage whispered.
"I'll look around the frontier in case any more attacks like this happen. If something too serious happens, I'm come get you." Summoner said.
"Well, good luck brother." Storm Mage said as the two brothers embraced.
"Give my best to Her Grace." Summoner said as he let go and walked off and Storm Mage went through the portal his undead friend left.
"Yes...yes...ohhh yeeees...!" Wizard moaned as Warrior slipped into her womanhood three times a second against a moss-covered rock about the size of a bed as he listened to the music coming out of her open, kissable mouth. Eventually, he pulled out of her, pointed away from the entrance, and the two stroked themselves until they both burst, then Warrior smothered her with his body and the two inhaled each other's enticing scents and caught their breath.
"You really are a genius..." Warrior groaned and Wizard chuckled as he sucked on her neck, rubbed her thigh, and squeezed her butt.
"You mean because of that way we could enjoy ourselves without a potion, or the modify-a-rock plan?" Wizard asked as Warrior kept working her body.
"Both..." Warrior said against her neck as he moved his hand up her belly to her breast, then got up to fondle each one as she stroked his manhood which was still slick with both their fluids as they both groaned in pleasure. He then slammed his mouth against hers as she sat up and then caressed his lovely muscles as he broke the kiss. "Pays to have a meathead with you doesn't it?"
"You're never going to drop that aren't you?" Wizard asked as her breasts kept being worked.
"Nope, I'm going to milk it for all it's worth. Speaking of milk..." Warrior teased as he rapidly fondled her breasts and watched them bounce and jiggle.
"Very funny..." Wizard teased back before stopping him. "They're not toys; you're supposed to handle them, not play with them. Yes, I know, sometimes I wouldn't mind, but...this isn't sometimes."
"Clever." Warrior said.
"Hey, they're my boobs; what I say goes." Wizard said seriously.
"Alright, alright, point taken several times over. You still think I'm sexy right?" Warrior teased.
"That...and you're as good with your body as I am with my brain." Wizard said with a smirk.
"And that is quite a feat." Warrior said before kissing her again and lashing tongues with her. "Shame I spent more time training people then I did practicing magic..."
"Hey, you have that lightning hammer for a reason, and let's face it...what can be done against lightning that can be done against fire, ice, or even force? Not much." Wizard said.
"I know." Warrior said as he picked Wizard up, with his hands under her butt.
"You know a lady could get used to having such a strong fellow to hold her." Wizard teased as she caressed his upper torso.
"Typical..." Warrior said.
"Hey, at this rate, you're going to look like the boss someday, and he's practically a stone golem." Wizard said seriously.
"Right...well, until then, this is all you're getting, not that it's not enough right? Right?" Warrior asked as she squeezed her ass again and she chuckles in response before putting her feet on the ground while holding onto his shoulders.
"You've no idea..." Wizard said with a husky voice as she slowly and deeply kissed him, shifting her lips against his and moaning as he groped, rubbed, and stroked up and down her supple body, and she meanwhile did the same with his muscled form.
Ranger and Fighter meanwhile were still in their bed caressing and kissing each other sweetly, softly, and slowly, with her letting off horny chuckles as he squeezed and fondled her breasts with one hand, before gently twisted and pinching her nipples, making her groan in bliss, before he slid his hand down her belly, rubbed her there, before she turned on her side and let him rub and fondle her round, fleshy buttocks as she, meanwhile caressed and massaged his dense, and bulky muscles, the same ones that tore the vampire queen's fortress apart.
"You know, before long, Warrior's muscles will be like yours." Fighter teased.
"Thick chance of Wizard's being like yours though." Ranger teased back.
"Right...although like we established, different people prefer different body types, and he apparently enjoys the hell out of hers." Fighter said before Ranger pinched her ass.
"I enjoy the hell out of yours, that's for sure." Ranger teased.
"I noticed. I make sure to keep my "goods" as sweet as possible at all times." Fighter teased before stroking his still-slick manhood a single time.
"They only get sweeter too; I remember this ass being quite a bit smaller back in the day." Ranger teased back before she lightly smacked his chest.
"You know that can imply I'm getting fat right?" Fighter said.
"Please, you wouldn't get fat in a million years, not with all the insane things you put yourself through." Ranger said and Fighter's face fell with her mood. "Is it something I said?"
"No...it's something I did." Fighter said before laying down on him as he held her close.
"What's wrong love?" Ranger asked softly.
"Do you want to have another child? Or, do you think Warrior and Wizard will have one soon? I know having more kids is off-the-table with that Cambion guy running around, but still." Fighter said thoughtfully.
"Maybe...but why do you ask?" Ranger asked.
"It's that archdemon. He didn't just beat me senseless...he nearly killed me. If he had...you and our daughter, our beautiful daughter, would grow up without her mother..." Fighter said before silently weeping into her husband's neck as he held her closer.
"My love and life..." Ranger whispered softly as she continued letting out her despair and sorrow.
"Thank that guru for teaching me about the chakras, if he hadn't, that archdemon would've torn me apart with my last thoughts being about how you and our child would continue living without me. I have no problem risking my life, but...to think you and our child would continue living, missing me as much as I miss my father...it's torture!" Fighter said before bursting into sobs and burying her face into the space between Ranger's neck and their pillow as Ranger continued to hold her tightly.
"But you made it. You put that archdemon down, saved countless lives, and returned in one piece. Our daughter, myself, neither or us will miss you; we don't have to; you're here in my arms, and I love you as much as I always did, and as long as I lead this team...we will not lose you." Ranger said softly, yet seriously, and Fighter got a grip and looked into his eyes.
"I love you...so much." Fighter whispered before Ranger dried her tears himself as she smiled at his gesture.
"I love you as well...I love you so much I don't know what to do with all of it." Ranger said and Fighter giggled at him which helped her return to her old self.
"Is this what it felt like at he pond when we had our first true moment of love?" Fighter asked.
"Most likely." Ranger said honestly before kissing her, and she deepened the kiss as much as possible; her need for his affection was omnivorous at this point and time. "Do you want me to take you again?"
"Please..." Fighter whispered against his lips before kissing him again quickly.
"How so?" Ranger asked.
"Like this..." Fighter said before she got off of him, and got on all fours. Then he got behind her, signaled her to spread her legs a bit by pressing his hand into her inner thighs a bit, stroked her womanhood with his finger to get her ready, then slid into her moist and swollen passage, and she reacted by gasping right away as he went in and out with slow, steady, and powerful strokes. "Harder...please...!" He didn't need to be told twice before he started pounding into her, making ripples in the flesh of her perfect butt as he slammed into her and heard her gasps turn into throaty, lustful groans. Her earlier sorrow was forgotten and replaced with pure, refined, euphoria, made even sweeter by the knowledge that the man shagging her like an animal wants her to feel this way. Eventually he let out an elongated moan, followed by a few shorter moans as they both burst with an orgasm the size of an ogre.
"This is how it should be..." Ranger said as the two collapsed onto the bed, with his manhood still buried inside her, and his shaven groin pressed into her buttocks. "No archdemon, no goblins, no Cambion...just you, me, and a room full of bliss."
"Bliss you make me feel..." Fighter breathed out.
"And there will always be some for you, as long as you're with me." Ranger said softly before pulling out of her, getting a small groan out of her, then she reached up to him, then he came down to kiss her. "We should get back to the others soon..."
"Hey! Everyone! We saw the ruins repair themselves!" They heard Rhea Fighter yell.
"O.k...now we really have to get back to the others." Fighter said with disappointment before picking up her discarded amethyst necklace, putting it on and Ranger hugged her from behind. "This is the last time I'm taking this off..."
"Purple really is your color..." Ranger whispered as Fighter smiled.
"They just...put themselves back together!" Rhea Fighter said to the others as she and Wizard's brother came back.
"How?" Cow Girl asked as she finished putting her overalls back on.
"No idea, but it didn't happen by itself; the place was practically bursting with magical influence, and that's impossible to fake." Wizard's brother said as Wizard and Warrior came back.
"What do you think caused it?" Wizard asked.
"My guess, this Cambion guy the cherub mentioned." Her brother said.
"Cambion?" Guild Girl asked.
"Demon-human hybrid, not good company." Warrior said simply.
"Doesn't sound like good company." Inspector said.
"We saw him call that leviathan out of the water to sink some ships just before we told the two of you about it." Priestess said.
"Yikes." Cow Girl exclaimed.
"You three should get back to the frontier; we'll take care of the ruins." Ranger said as he and Fighter came out in their armor.
"We'll give the usual reward for an investigation quest, on top of whatever you find yourselves, whether it's information, or treasure." Guild Girl said.
"Alright, everyone get your stuff together. We have some ruins to tear up." Ranger said as the teams got their stuff together, then he opened a portal to he frontier for Guild girl, Cow Girl, and Inspector to use.
"Be careful..." Cow Girl said to GS.
"I will." GS said simply before putting his helmet on and the three ladies used the portal.
The pair of teams, went through the woods, with H.E. Archer leading the way, with Rhea Fighter and Wizard's brother backing her up, and when they got to the clearing the ruins were...H.E. Archer's jaw dropped.
"These are the ruins we looked over before?" She exclaimed.
"The place looks like it was just built. Who knows what it looks like on the inside." Dwarf Shaman said.
"Let's find out shall we? Wait...anyone see any guards?" Warrior asked.
"I don't see anything." Ranger said while using Life Sight.
"Me neither." Wizard said.
"Or me." Her brother said.
"Well, we should still be cautious." Warrior said thoughtfully.
"You're starting to sound like my husband." Fighter teased.
"Stop me if I start copying him in other ways." Warrior said seriously.
"I don't know, you could do well to learn from other people." H.E. Archer said.
"Speak for yourself Long Ears." Dwarf Shaman said.
"Oh shut it." H.E. Archer said.
"Enough, let's just go have a look." GS said.
"We are with you Sir Goblin Slayer." Lizard Priest said as they went down to the entrance and still found no one.
"You're quiet as hell; are you alright?" Fighter asked Rhea Fighter.
"It's just...when do I get my moment in the sun? Last time we were attacked, I tried opening the chakras, and got nowhere. I want to have my time to shine just like all of you did." Rhea Fighter said somberly.
"Hey, you'll get a chance. We all do." Priestess said.
"Alright, I trust you." Rhea Fighter said before they went inside.
The group traveled through a large hallway lined with small pillars with Priestess lighting the place with Holy Light and Wizard and her brother using fire magic to boot.
"Anything you can tell us about this place?" Ranger asked.
"We only discovered that this place is similar to the place with the ogre we fought." H.E. Archer said.
"Ah, those were the days..." Wizard said sarcastically; the elf girl they rescued from there still left a bad taste in the mouth.
"Regardless, this place used to be sacred to the Sea Goddess, as well as a few lesser nature gods." Lizard Priest said as they approached a fresh mural of a large woman with a blue dress and a bunch of people surrounding her. "The priests and priestess who lived at the huts we used earlier conducted their rites and said their prayers here."
"And now?" Priestess asked.
"Now, it's like used by the Evil Sect." Dwarf Shaman said and H.E. Archer scoffed.
"What is it with goblins, demons, the Evil Sect, whatever, and using abandoned and once-sacred places for their operations?" H.E. Archer asked.
"It's called purpose corruption, and it's a bitch." Wizard's brother said.
"At least the place is freshly restored; we shouldn't encounter anything too nasty, I hope." Rhea Fighter said.
"Uh, considering the hell rifts can open anywhere..." Priestess trailed off.
"We'll be ready." GS said as he looked to the sides.
"I don't even see any chaffing on the floor; I can't tell if anyone has been through here." Dwarf Shaman said as he looked at the ground.
"I can't see anything out of the ordinary either." H.E. Archer said as she looked around.
"Me neither." Wizard said.
"Just keep a fucking eye peeled...!" Ranger said with annoyance in his voice.
"Lady Priestess? Do you think you can track any demon forces?" Lizard Priest asked.
"I don't think so, but this Holy Light is probably keeping anything demonic at bay." Priestess said.
"Then we'll have to go after them." Warrior said as a squirrel familiar showed up, Wizard's brother picked it up, then dispelled it.
"And I know exactly where to go." He said as he pointed the way and walked just ahead of everyone down a hallway.
"What about the other way?" Wizard asked.
"There's nothing down there but dust bunnies. Besides, we can loot this place later." Her brother said as he led them down another hallway.
"I hope restoring the place included some of the collapsed hallways; there could've been something useful there." H.E. Archer said.
"Most likely, although...chances are they were sealed on purpose." GS said.
"Quite perceptive Beard-Cutter." Dwarf Shaman said.
Storm Mage returned to the Temple of Law...and the Sword Maiden to give her the word, and she was in the main chamber in all her glory when he got to her.
"Hello? Oh, Storm Mage. You've returned." She said softly with a smile as Storm Mage took her hand and kissed it.
"Yes I did, myself, those demons hunters...and a revenant killed a small army of goblins and demons at the same farm Ranger and company fought that goblin legion." Storm Mage said and Sword Maiden removed her hand from his.
"What?" She asked in awe.
"The place was attacked again, and...unfortunately the only person there was killed, somewhat horribly." Storm Mage said.
"No..." Sword Maiden whispered as Storm Mage hugged her.
"Those monsters will not do that again, although...my heart goes out to the girl who lives with the man. She helped nurse me when one of the larger goblins injured me." Storm Mage said.
"My hearts goes out to her as well." Sword Maiden said as she returned the embrace with her free arm; she wasn't about to drop her scepter.
"That revenant however...he knew the one who helped us at the farm, the same revenant who got his soul back from the Death God, gave his life to defend it from...the strongest goblin I've ever seen, and willingly gave his life to the Death God." Storm Mage said.
"I see..." Sword Maiden said simply.
"Too much to take in? Storm Mage asked.
"A bit yes." Sword Maiden whispered as she kept holding her protector.
"I must admit...I took the slaughter personally; I remembered the time the goblins were in this room...and I nearly lost it." Storm Mage said somberly.
"Stop...just hold me..." Sword Maiden said while shaking.
"I'm sorry..." Storm Mage said softly, then she stopped shaking and kissed his cheek.
"I forgive you..." She whispered next to her ear, then she turned his head for him and planted a soft, sweet kiss on his lips that he couldn't help but return. "I also love you..."
"And I love you...my dear Sword Maiden..." Storm Mage whispered against her lips before kissing her himself and had stop himself from reaching into her dress; she was the archbishop at this point and who knows how was watching.
"Storm Mage...give me that sterility potion." Sword Maiden said.
"Your Grace?" Storm Mage asked.
"I want to have the idea on my own mind, and no one else's, least of all yours; you have enough to think about as it is." Sword Maiden said honestly.
"Very well...I'll put it in your room before I leave." Storm Mage said.
"You're leaving again?" Sword Maiden asked disappointed.
"I also killed a pack of demons in Limbo, and who knows if there's more." Storm Mage said.
"Alright..." Sword Maiden said , then Storm Mage touched her soft, baby-like face.
"Hey...I keep your blessing on my mind, and your touch in my heart; those demons never have a chance." Storm Mage boasted and got a giggle out of the archbishop. "Besides...the chance to return to the Temple of Law, and kiss the one and only Sword Maiden, is worth nearly anything."
"I'm sure it is..." Sword Maiden teased before kissing him again.
"Wait for me; I will return, and when I do...I'll touch you as much as you want." Storm Mage said and Sword Maiden shook and breathed hard in anticipation.
"I look forward to it, my cherished protector." Sword Maiden said as her turned to leave then stopped suddenly.
"By the way, my brother sends his regards." Storm Mage said and Sword Maiden simply smiled.
Back at the ruins, the group looked over each nook and cranny for signs of activity, but nothing came up, until they entered a room so spacious, that their lights couldn't penetrate deep enough to see the end.
"Anyone sense an ambush?" Wizard's brother asked.
"This isn't a hell shroud; the whole thing would be dispelled by now if it was." Priestess said thoughtfully.
"Could we be getting alittle paranoid?" H.E. Archer asked.
"No, you can never be paranoid where the Evil Sect is concerned, especially given their recent activities." Ranger said.
"I concur. The hell rifts, the leviathan, all of these things demand to be considered signs of what is to come." Lizard Priest said as lavender orbs with streams of energy coming out of them start flying around.
"What the hell...?" Warrior said as the orbs flew around the room lighting it up and showing more murals.
"They must be souls. Remember the souls the revenants remove from people? They were the same color." Fighter said.
"But what are souls doing here?" Rhea Fighter asked and Ranger walked forward.
"Wait, boss!" Warrior exclaimed as Ranger approached on of the murals.
"I've seen this one in a dream..." Ranger said in awe.
"Who is that?" H.E. Archer asked.
"The War God's champion, wearing the Apocalypse armor..." Ranger said.
"You...saw this...in a dream?" H.E. Archer asked in disbelief.
"Yes. The armor, the monsters, the burned-up environment. It all fits." Ranger said.
"What's happening here?" Priestess asked as Ranger pointed to different parts of it.
"There's the dead abyssal creatures he cut down, there's the fortress he's assaulting. No idea who ran the show, or why, but he went there to kill some sort of noble, or royal who apparently worked for the Evil Sect, and my dream ended with him getting sliced into at least three pieces." Ranger said.
"That must've been some dream." Wizard's brother said,
"You have no idea." Ranger said.
"What do you make of this Beard-Cutter?" Dwarf Shaman asked.
"Are these gods going to help us?" GS asked.
"Uh, how do you think I took down the vampire queen, and how we got our weapon and armor morphing powers?" Ranger asked.
"Alchemy." GS said simply.
"O.k...yes alchemy, but the War god gave me his power to kill the vampire queen." Ranger said.
"Which probably inspired the goblins to leave Hell." GS said.
"Now wait just a damn minute! The vampire queen was going to engage in a war around the entire northern kingdom. There's no way the goblins wouldn't get involved in that. For all we know, the goblins simply timed it so their invasion would happen at the same time the queen's did." H.E. Archer said.
"Lady Ranger is right Sir Goblin Slayer; that open space Sir Ranger and Lady Hero fought those hell goblins could not have been there by accident." Lizard Priest said.
"Or maybe we did provoke them..." Ranger said and everyone turned to him. "Maybe that Restoration miracle the Sword Maiden cast kicked a hornet's nest in Hell and inspired them to unleash the goblins trapped there?"
"It doesn't matter now. They're here, and need to be sent back to Hell. Now let's keep moving." GS said as he walked off.
"Alright..." H.E. Archer said as they followed him.
Elsewhere, Elder Revenant was walking through the town the archdemon rampaged through and the people who survived were savaged by hell goblins. He then saw after images of the goblins killing, violating, torturing, and dancing to their hearts content, and the Hero's team came through and wiped them out in one swing of her holy sword in the middle of their sick festival. Now...here he was, cleaning up the mess. He walked from one corpse to another, removing the souls from each man, woman, and child in sight. He even found a woman shivering and weeping from what the goblins did to her...then her heart gave out and Elder Revenant removed her soul.
"Heaven will hold joy that surpasses your pain young one..." Elder Revenant said with his voice as gravelly as ever as he put the soul away, then moved on to the next bodies, removed their souls, and went to a body that was charred black in a pile of still-smoldering wood, then removed that one's soul. "Tis a shame those goblins can only die once...but should they dare show their faces on this world again, they shall only know...death."
Back at the ruins, the team was walking through the same hallway, until a series of smaller hallways was found.
"O.k...some of these doors were destroyed when we were last here." H.E. Archer said.
"Couldn't you just remove the rocks in the way?" Wizard's brother asked before summoning some squirrels familiars to look around.
"No, there was too much, and who knows if that would even help." Dwarf Shaman said.
"Let me guess: you mean a possible cave-in?" Fighter asked.
"Quite right my dear." Dwarf Shaman said as the squirrels came back.
"Not much in the way of treasure, but one of the hallways goes on longer than the others." Wizard's brother said.
"Those familiars you have scout for us save quite a bit of time Sir Wizard." Lizard Priest said as Wizard's brother led the way.
"That's what they're here for." Wizard's brother said proudly, as he led them down a hallway.
"Wait! That panel on the floor doesn't look right." H.E. Archer said as she slowly approached it, then tripped over a cable that opened the panel to reveal spikes, and Wizard yanked her back with Levitate.
"O.k...this place is full of traps...go to know." Fighter said as H.E. Archer caught her breath.
"Would've been better to know before I nearly got turned into meatloaf!" H.E. Archer exclaimed.
"Well, now we know. We can be on the lookout for more traps. Plus...it doesn't look like a goblin made this; it's too old, and too refined." GS said as he inspector the cable.
"The fact that a trap is here means someone doesn't want outsiders in that room." Ranger said as Dwarf Shaman filled the spike pit with cement, then hardened it.
"There, we should be alright now." He said.
"Are you sure?" H.E. Archer asked.
"Have faith Lady Ranger." Lizard Priest said as he walked across it and the team followed. Lizard Priest was probably the heaviest one in the group; if the concrete could hold him, it could hold them.
At the frontier, Guild Girl and Inspector went to the tavern to see what was up, and all they had to do was show their faces, with Cow Girl dropping by to get some supplies, then Summoner showed up.
"Summoner? What brings you here?" Guild Girl asked.
"I heard talk about a demon and goblin massacre around here. Anything you can tell me?" Summoner asked.
"Ehhh, no...sorry, nothing came up about goblins or demons in quite some time." Guild Girl said.
"Oh well, that just means I'll have to roll up my sleeves and get the job done myself." Summoner said casually.
"Should be no problem for a Gold Rank." Inspector said and Summoner huffed.
"Hopefully...see you later." Summoner said as the ladies waved at him. then Summoner bumped into Cow Girl.
"Oh, hello." She said.
"Have anyone going with you?" Summoner asked.
"No, but I can handle this." Cow Girl said.
"It's still risky going alone." Summoner said.
"Oh well, at least I'll have someone to talk to." Cow Girl said cheerily as the two hit the road.
"And I...get some pleasant company." Summoner said with a smirk as Cow Girl giggled.
"You always flirt with girls you encounter like this?" She asked.
"Flirt? My dear farm girl, I was simply stating a fact." Summoner said simply.
"Well, I do appreciate your concern, but-" Summoner cuts her off.
"You have a man in your life? I'm surprised beyond words..." He said, and the irony of his statement was not lost on his enthralling companion.
"Goblin Slayer actually." Cow Girl said.
"So, he wised up and asked for your hand eh?" Summoner asked.
"Actually, I went to him." Cow Girl said.
"Either way, he's one of the luckiest men I know now." Summoner said honestly.
"Right...I've seen how men look at me." Cow Girl said.
"Can you blame them? Lots of women would kill to have a body like yours, and I'm dead serious; I'm not trying to be fresh." Summoner said serious.
"Thanks for the compliment, and the escort." Cow Girl said with a smile, as the two kept going to her home...which was smoking in the distance.
"What the hell...?" Summoner asked in alarm before Cow Girl let go of the cart she was hauling and rushed to see the farm with Summoner chasing her, and when they got there...the place was in ruins.
"No..." Cow Girl whispered in horror, and her eyes watered as she looked over the butchered and partially eaten corpses of the cattle and other farm animals, the destroyed houses, and eventually...the dead body of her uncle. "NO!" She then collapsed to her knees and bawled her eyes out.
"This is where you live...?" Summoner asked as he looked over the dead goblins and demons, and gave the poor woman he escorted her space until she finally got a grip. "I cannot believe this. This is the same place we cleared out."
"What have they done to my uncle...? What am I going to do now...?" Cow Girl asked with a sob-choked voice.
"Do you know where Goblin Slayer is now?" Summoner asked softly.
"He's...exploring some ruins with his friends, but I can't ask him to come back and help with this farm. Just look at it...!" Cow Girl said while still crying.
"Do you have any other family to take you?" Summoner asked.
"No...! My uncle was all I had..." Cow Girl said and continued sobbing.
"Then we should go back and wait for Goblin Slayer and company to come back. I'm sure he'll have an answer, if one of his friends doesn't." Summoner said.
"And if they don't?" Cow Girl asked as she looked up at him with the evidence of her sorrow written all over her face.
"They must have something. They're all at least Silver Rank; you don't get that high a rank if you're not smart." Summoner said seriously, then held his hand out and she reluctantly took it.
"O.k..." Cow Girl said with a broken voice as she let him pull her up, then walked back to town with his arm around her waist.
Back at the ruins, GS and company watched a few dozen souls fly around some kind of crystal eyeball.
"What is that?" Warrior asked and Cherub poofed in.
"Sorry, I couldn't come to you sooner; only that Ether Gazer's presence let me come here...am I interrupting something?" Cherub asked.
"No, but you answered my question." Warrior said.
"What question?" Cherub asked.
"What that is." Warrior said as he pointed at the crystal eyeball.
"Ah...Ether Gazers are basically living relics made in Heaven, and put here on Earth. They're not common; you can count the amount of them left with the fingers on one hand, and those that are...they're pretty well-hidden, and protected. Whoever put it here was keen on leaving it here and making sure no one got their hands on it. Which may explain why these ruins were destroyed." Cherub said.
"What does it do?" Fighter asked.
"First off...you see these souls flying around? Well...Ether Gazers actually peer into the world of Limbo, and let living and dead people interact, and that's only one of it's tricks." Cherub said.
"Wait...you can interact with dead people's souls?" Fighter asked.
"Yes, but you can't bring them back to life; you can only speak to them. You have someone you want to see?" Cherub asked.
"Yes." Fighter said.
"Then look into the Gazer, think about who you want to see, and you'll see them." Cherub said as Fighter approached the Gazer, with Ranger behind her, and a man materialized.
"Fighter? Who is he?" Ranger asked and Fighter stayed silent for a bit.
"My father..." Fighter whispered and Ranger looked back and forth between them. "I just wanted to see him, and to let him know...I still love him, and I meant every word I said at his grave. I think of little else but the promise I made."
"I'm sure he's as proud of you as ever my love..." Ranger said as he held her hand, then she locked their fingers together.
"And I'm proud to be a mother. One I'm sure will mirror the three of us." Fighter said with a sob in her voice, then her father's ghost touched her face, making her suck in a breath, then vanish, then Fighter turned to Ranger and sobbed her eyes out into his shoulder as he stood there holding his beloved, not caring who saw. Then Priestess walked up to them, with Warrior, Wizard, and even GS' team behind her, all to support their sister, and/or comrade. GS himself just stood there observing.
"Quite a sight isn't it?" Cherub asked.
"Yes." GS said with a hint of softness in his own voice.
"Ohhh, the big, bad Goblin Slayer does have a soft spot." Cherub teased.
"They're not goblins." GS said simply.
"Figures..." Cherub said as the team's moment came to a close with Fighter letting go of Ranger, wiping her eyes and steeling herself. "This is where you people should split up. There are demonic forces gathering underneath these ruins, and you should hit them all at once to keep your backs covered."
"Who should go where?" H.E. Archer asked.
"Ranger can handle the ones down there alone, Goblin Slayer, you take your team and go down there. The rest of you, take the final staircase there." Cherub said.
"You know, the fact the demons are gathering in force underneath makes sense since we never encountered anything above ground, or at the entrance." H.E. Archer said.
"Demons are known for being devious creatures. It should surprise no one they lurked underground." Lizard Priest said.
"Like goblins." GS said.
"Correct." Lizard Priest said.
"Well, let's split up like the good cherub said." Ranger said.
"Take care of yourself please." Fighter said.
"Cherub said I can handle it alone, and I believe him. You should probably follow in his footsteps." Ranger said.
"Alright..." Fighter said before giving him a quick kiss before he walked off while morphing his heavier armor, mask, and a pair of leaf-shaped swords.
GS' team went through a series of hallways by torchlight, then he threw his torch into a room, a hell goblin investigated, then got a dagger through it's face and evaporated.
"Silver daggers, way to take some advice from the demon hunters Orcbolg." H.E. Archer said as GS went out to get his knives, then got jumped by several other hell goblins, who all got cut apart by GS' molten silver-coated blade.
"He also had me give him a silvery solution to coat his blade with." Dwarf Shaman said as GS craved through one hell goblin after another, sometimes killing them with a mere scratch, then his team watched them all choke and spasm in their last moments of life...if they survived the cuts themselves.
"He's not the only one who took some advice either." H.E. Archer boasted as she shot some silver-tipped arrows into the goblins at a distance, as Dwarf Shaman launched a volley of pebbles at the hell goblins who dropped down from the ceiling, only to be shredded by the pebbles, and Lizard Priest summoned a Dragontooth warrior, and the two jumped into the fray with GS, who was craving through every hell goblin in sight.
"57...64...71...78...81...87...97..." GS counted as he cut down goblins and the team joined in.
Ranger meanwhile was using his glowing blade as a light, then saw a room lined with flesh. It was a trip to Hell all over again. He was somewhat disturbed by the sight, but gagged at the smell and morphed a thicker and more refined mask to relieve himself of the smell. Then zombies spawned from the messes of flesh, and he craved through their skulls, then dozens more appeared, and even some skeletons come out of the flesh-covered walls, and he pulled his gun and shot them down as he split the skull of any unlucky ghoul that got too close with his sword, or with a pistol-whipping. When he was done, he put both away.
"Lord of the Sword. Master of the Mace. Cleanse my foes with the foulest aspect of nature. Pestilence." Ranger prayed and the flesh quickly became necrotic and weathered away within seconds. He actually closed his eyes not wanting to see it happen; few things wrenched his stomach, let alone scared him, but necrosis is one of them... "Dear Supreme in Heaven, why am I doing this...? Grrr, focus Ranger. You have demons, goblins, and apparently undead to purge..."
He then went to the next room, and a pair of Wrathers were there, and charged him the moment he showed up, then he jumped over them, shot them both in he head, but that just made them angrier, and he rolled out of the way of another charge, and morphed a greatsword larger than he was, impaled one through the heart as it charged him, and he slid along the ground as it fell on him, then he flicked the corpse at he other one, and plunged his greatsword right through it's face, out the back of it's head. "Lord of the Sword. Master of the Mace. Smith me arms, for the battle I wage." He prayed and a copy of his greatsword spawned in his other hand. He then heated both swords up and walked forward.
"Your ties to the War God are strong...but they will not save you." A booming voice came from the other side of the room and an archdemon was seen sitting on a throne that looked like it was made of bones. "You must be that Fighter girl's boy toy. Hehehe...you look smaller than I pictured you."
"You will come down to my level before I kill you...!" Ranger growled before the archdemon stood up.
"Let us see if you heart is as large as your swords, and if you swords are as sharp as your tongue." the archdemon said as it set it's fists on fire.
Meanwhile, Priestess, Fighter, Warrior, Wizard, her brother, and Rhea Fighter went down a hallway with Priestess leading the way with Holy Light of course, and they heard a twisting sound and stopped.
"What was that?" Rhea Fighter asked as Fighter peered into a room and gagged.
"This place has demons running through it alright..." Fighter said as the team looked inside and saw a few imps huddled around a structure that looked like a pair of hearts mashed together.
"O.k...that's just gross..." Wizard's brother said.
"I am so opening the chakras now..." Rhea Fighter said as she stayed put and started mediating.
"Just don't take too long..." Warrior said as the girl sat down, and about 15 seconds later, just when the team was losing patience, Rhea Fight slowly stood up and her eyes were blueish-green.
"Alright, let's see what you can do..." Fighter said with pride as Rhea Fighter went out to face the imps, who all pounced at her, only for her to blow them away with the force of one punch. Then more imps spawned from small rifts in the walls and he punched, kicked, spun around/jumped over, slammed, threw, and tore apart every imp who got too close, sometimes in mid-air, or on the ground. Some were slammed into each other, thrown into the walls, or had their bones busted, organs torn out, or their heads cracked open.
"And this is coming from a girl who has an anxiety issue..." Wizard said in awe as the slaughter continued.
"She wanted a moment in the spotlight...wish granted." Fighter said with a chuckle, then Rhea popped her limb blades, and the carnage really got under way.
"130...142...151...165...178...193..." GS counted as he kicked, sliced, smashed, or launched the hell goblins who got too close away, or blew them up with bombs, froze them with ice bombs, or watched his teammates do their thing until it was over. "That makes 203..."
"Over 200 dead goblins. Too bad we don't get that much gold for it." Dwarf Shaman said.
"You'd just spend it on a feast you big tub of lard." H.E. Archer teased.
"Actually I'd give it to you so you'd grow a chest Long Ears." Dwarf Shaman retorted.
"Why didn't we feed this guy to he hell goblins again?" H.E. Archer snapped.
"Enough. There's bound to be more down the line-" GS stopped talking when a rift opened and a hell goblin paladin showed up, and GS rolled an ice bomb at it, and it's foot froze...for about 2 seconds. The paladin then stabbed into the ground, and a phantom blade popped out of the ground, and GS narrowly avoided getting skewered by it, then H.E. Archer climbed a nearby staircase while it was distracted and hit it's eyes with a silver arrow making it yell and thrash around trying to remove the arrow.
"Elven bitch!" The paladin yelled and threw a sword at her, and she narrowly avoided getting her belly ripped open by it's serrations. Then Dwarf Shaman then hurled a large boulder at the paladin, who caught it...barely, then raised it over it's head to throw it back, just in time for Lizard Priest, and the Dragontooth warrior to cut it's elbows and pin it underneath the boulder...only for it to toss the boulder aside, remove the arrow, and stand there. "Why won't my eyes regenerate...?" GS then threw a silver powder bomb at it and it's elbows and eye burst into white flames and the paladin thrashed around trying to put the fire out, bit it did nothing.
"That's makes 204..." GS said simply as the paladin evaporated.
"Good thing you took some advice from those demon hunters Orcbolg." H.E. Archer said.
"If I didn't I wouldn't be the Goblin Slayer." GS said simply.
"Hell Goblin Slayer in this case." Lizard Priest said seriously and got some snickers out of H.E. Archer.
"That's funny because it's true." H.E. Archer said.
"Now, let's move on..." GS said as Cherub poofed in.
"This is all there was; that hallway will take you to the rest." Cherub said.
"Then let us forge on." Lizard Priest said as they walked off.
Ranger and the archdemon were clashing blades, after the archdemon summoned his own serrated sword in each hand, Ranger was able to keep up the dizzying pace with his greatswords. Granted he had to move around, backwards, and jump over some sword swings, and even block some sword swings in mid-air, and jump off a sword's wide part and the he swatted away a barrage of fireballs, then the two stood there to take a breather.
"That whore fought me much harder than you did." the archdemon taunted.
"Whatever whore you fought must've died, because if my wife crushed you, and so can I." Ranger countered and the archdemon laughed at him.
"Well...I'm ready for you..." The archdemon said knowingly and a pair of Gluttons, one on each side latched onto each of his arms and pulled him in each direction, and he pulled back as the archdemon watched him struggle while laughing. Ranger then noticed the beating heart down their throats, and he morphed his gun, shot one of them, then the other once the tongues holding his gun arm went limp.
The archdemon then charged up a fireball, then Ranger shot the archdemon several times in the face, then it's fireball blew up in it's hands, and some of it's fingers fell off, only to get re-attached, then the archdemon charged at Ranger, who harpooned up to the ceiling, shot the archdemon several more times in the top of the head, then the archdemon barraged him with fireballs, and Ranger dropped down with a body-engulfing shield and when he hit the ground, he morphed his shield into two dozen silver, hand-sized throwing stars, each one cut into it's arms, it's chest, the sides of it's legs, and it's face. Then he morphed a greatsword, charged it, chopped into one of it knees, then stabbed it in the gut, then got bashed away across the floor, then the archdemon removed the sword. "Just like your little-"
"...like your little whore. That joke wasn't funny the first time you told it." Ranger said sharply, then shot a harpoon at it, hit it in the chest, pulled as hard as he could, then the archdemon pulled himself...but that was Ranger wanted. His armor then absorbed the greatsword the archdemon tried to impale him with, surprising it, then Ranger morphed a gauntlet, punched it across the face, broke two of it's horns, then jammed one into it's tailbone, paralyzing it's legs, then jammed the other horn into it's throat and watched it choke as he stood on it's chest. "That's twice you got this treatment. Unless you want a third time, stay away from my family." He then got off the archdemon's chest as it went limp, then walked down a hallway to the side...after checking the other side, and found a ton of crystals that looked like the Ether Gazer in a stone chest that he sent to his home's storage room via a portal.
Rhea Fighter meanwhile retreated back to the others as her stamina wore out, then took a life potion from Warrior as Warrior zapped the room full of imps with his hammer, and Priestess shined her Holy Light even brighter to weaken them. Then a pack of Wrathers came out, and Wizard and her brother used Firestorm to blow them to pieces. Fighter meanwhile ran up the wall to engage some Prides in mid-air by grappling them to the floor, jumping from one to the other while she snapped their necks, and even threw the dead bodies into the living Prides. Warrior then sliced up some demonic worms that burst out of the ground and tried to eat the team, specifically Priestess; she was probably a huge pain in the ass for the demons thanks to her Holy Light. When it was over, the team progressed...then the team fell into a trapdoor pit, and each of them went down three different slides...
GS and company followed a pathway to another hallway, and Lizard Priest stopped a demonic worm from eating him, then GS plunged a silver-poisoned sword into it.
"O.k...since when are there demonic worms in this place?" H.E. Archer exclaimed.
"It doesn't matter. They won't stop us." GS said as he kept going.
"Quite right Sir Goblin Slayer, but we must still be cautious; like the good Sir Ranger said, we wouldn't last long without being cautious." Lizard Priest said before Priestess, and Wizard's brother flew out of a panel in the wall and rolled across the ground.
"Holy...are you two alright?" H.E. Archer asked.
"Yes, but the others were separated from us!" Priestess exclaimed.
"Not good, splitting up in a place like this without being informed of what's ahead is not desirable." Dwarf Shaman said.
"Well excuse us for falling into a trap!" Wizard's brother said.
"Let's just go find them." GS said as they kept going.
Ranger was craving through one round of hell goblins are another when Wizard, Warrior, and Rhea Fighter, fell from the ceiling out of a panel, and Wizard used Levitation to keep herself, Warrior, and Rhea Fighter from breaking their necks.
"What? What happened? Where are the others?" Ranger asked with concern.
"We fell for a damn trapdoor. The others could be anywhere." Warrior said as they got up.
"Then we should go find them." Ranger said as he led the way through the hallway, and eventually...they found GS' team.
"There you are! We were worried sick! Wait...where's Fighter?" Warrior asked.
"We thought she was with you?" Priestess said and everyone got worried.
"That's not good...not good at all!" Rhea Fighter exclaimed and Ranger used Life Sight and frantically looked around, then bolted off down a hallway, craving through every unfortunately goblin, demon, worm, or whatever else got in his way. Nothing was getting between him and the woman he revered. He eventually got to the hall she was in...and his heart sank. She was laying there, completely motionless, and she had an unfocused and lifeless look in the face. He then rushed to her side, the risks be damned, even if she was the only life form in the area.
"Fighter? Fighter! My wife...my dear wife...What happened? Fighter! Wake up! Please wake up..." Ranger pleaded as he shook her, looked into her blank eyes and his eyes started watering as Wizard approached and put her hand on her head. "What the hell is wrong with her...?
"Illusion magic...she's trapped in a nightmare. I don't know what she's experiencing, but that's all she can experience; she can't sense anything outside of her mind or body. Trying to coax her out of it is pointless." Wizard said sadly and Ranger tensed up and lowered his head with grief and rage before opening a portal.
"Go...take her to my home, and fix her..." Ranger whispered as his tears hit his wife's face, then Wizard and Priestess took her through the portal.
"I'm not coming back; if the Cambion is here, I won't be much help anyway." Priestess said.
"I can handle him! Just fix her..." Ranger growled as the portal closed.
"Boss...?" Warrior asked cautiously as he reached out and pulled back when Ranger started talking again.
"May...whoever did this...suffer every curse...in every...tongue in existence. May they drown in the tears shed for their pain, and their corpse be fed to the most ill-mannered filth in Hell!" Ranger growled as he kept shaking.
Hoo boy this chapter got dark didn't it, and it was so happy in the last part. But...whoever broke Fighter's mind really fucked up good; wrong a servant of the War God, you get an entire war's worth of trauma focused on yourself, not to mention what Cow Girl went through...who knows how she'll react. Maybe she'll become an adventurer herself, or work at a new farm, who knows? I sure don't, so be sure to Rate, Review, Share, and stay tuned to find out.
