Authors note: entering Chapter 11 and with this chapter I will show more of my OC's personality and how she coped with what she had done last chapter, remember Idora came from the real world, there was no life or death situations to kill, also with her Autism and her good heart what she done last chapter (Even if was to defend Naofumi) will have a strong effect on her.
And yet she also has a strong compassionate side which I will show in this chapter
Chapter 11: Learning to forgive yourself and quest into the abandoned monastery
When you do something depending on what was done will lead to a everlasting consequence on the psych. In Idoras case…she killed someone or a group of someone, living humans sure they were scum but they were humans and not monsters they can think like intellegent monsters…even if sometimes humans can act like the dumb monsters.
In a alleyway it shows Jinzo/Lector as he was hugging his legs with Rain in his balloon form on his head with Klyn and Fren near him "Are you gonna be ok?" Asked Klyn as Fren shook his armored head "I doubt it, what happened was a surprise that she killed those nobles and that rotten Knight commander, but if she has what I think she has then it will be a lot harder" said Fren as the psychic robot looked up "You know I have autism?" He asked "I have a cousion and a freind who has Asburgers syndrome when ever they did something they regret they do the same thing you are doing" said Fren "Sitting in a alleyway wallowing in guilt?" Asked Lector looking away "Its more of a hallway but you get the gist and I know it will be hard but you cant just wallow in this sadness, in the magna there will be deaths but the sooner you accept it the better you will feel when you face the waves" said Fren as Lector got Rain of his head.
"I want to but *groans and hugs Rain to tightly* guilt I cant believe I did that I killed humans and I dont know if I will recover from it if I can recover from it" he said as Klyn gently petted his shoulder "You will you are a strong person I mean you took down a litch and a chimera boss with no issues" the skeleton said "They were monsters these are humans there is a big difference" he said looking away "But to be honest I am more afraid of the power I have, I mean becoming cartoons and this magic…it scares me and you warned me about the seven sins series" said Lector as Fren recalled that talk
The seven sins weapon series as the name says are weapons that the cardinal heros can unlock if they feel a strong emotion related to the seven sins, Wrath, lust, envy, gluttony, Sloth, Pride, and Greed. During the series Naofumi unlocked the wrath series and it was powerful but dangerous as it causes harm on the human psyche if not ready and he was worried for Idora as she now has a form of a cardinal weapon and thus has the potential to gain a Cursed series…It scared her though Fren stated it wont affect her unless she really feels a strong emotion related to the sin though she still…it still scared her.
"You are not gonna fall to the series you are stronger then that I recall how you fought against the litch to save my villiage and me, I think you have great control over your power" said Klyn as the duel monster looked up at the Skelton "True…but" he started "I listen to your skeleton freind, you did the right thing with those rude nobles and that commander" said a female voice as the machine gahhed and jumped up and became Izuku "Wait I dont have a skeleton here! Who said that/Are you a shadow? Are you working for the king *pulls out his sword* I will cut you in half!" Said Izuk/Fren as from the shadows came a person but it wasnt a Shadow but a noble…a female one that was 'fluffy' dressed in a darkgreen version of Jessicas (Dragon quest) first outfit, long to her waist hair with a hibiscus hair clip holding back a fringe of Red/blue hair and a signet ring on her right finger and beautiful black eyes filled with laughter and a cool calmness and on her hip was a wand that had a curved top with a aquamarine star.
"A noble? What's a noble doing far away from there home?" Asked Klyn suspicious of the figure as the noble waved a hand "relax I am not like the other nobles I am not spoiled like those fools I actually belived the shield hero didnt do any of that stuff and to why I can tell you have a living skeleton" she said walking up to Klyn as she gently pushed off the Cerberus hood surprising her "fascinating are you a necromancer?" She asked as Izuku blushed at how cute familiar the noble is as he shook it off "No no no I just made a skeleton out of dirt and the soul just agreed to help me by occupying the body (noble girl: are you a summoner since you have a living armor) ummmmm….yessss I am" said Izuku no Gansley as the fish like duel monster rubbed his arm before shaking his head "who are you? And *Guestures to Klyn as she pulled her hood up* please dont alert the citizens I think they will take it the wrong way" said Gansley as the girl smiled "My name is Elizabeth, call me Liz, I am a noble yet I respect my servants while my mom is a loser and I have the rare magic of aura sight I can see things, as well *Eyes widened and glow like a certain Dorito demon* *Demon voice* Lots of things" she said as Gansley chuckled "you are a diamond in the rough type of Nobel its refreshing" he said as Liz grinned "thanks and I never seen anyone like you, but then again I never met the spellbook heroine" she said as Gansley looked at the spellbook
"I think each one of us are unique *shows Rain* like this I made rain" said Gansley "And I am one of a kind to become a fairy (Fren: Betcha you can become a human due to rules of the spellbook) Really I can?" Asked Rain "you can, any monsters raised under the cardinal hero can gain the power to become a human if they become a canadite for a king or Queen" said Fren as Rain got a glint "We will train for that, and Clotho is under my contract via you Fren so maybe she can become a Balloon queen Candidate *To Liz* Sorry me and my partner Fren is a balloon collector, Klyn is the cool and collected one" said Gansley "Someone has to" said Klyn as Liz chuckled "Well glad you are looking better and listen *Gently presses a hand on the sea warriors shoulder* you did the right thing to defend the shield hero that way, the king is…well he hasn't made the most greatest of judgment calls, showing your power to show you are not gonna listen to his crap well its a impressive statement" she said as Gansley blushed not knowing why but he feels her familiar like with the cloaked women and Beth.
"So perk up you are gonna face moments like that, you need to be strong its not gonna be easy, trust me I took missions from the guild hall and some is to clear off bandits…well…I had to get rough" she said surprising the group "You mean you…" asked Gansley back to being Idora as Iz nodded "yup, you are not the only one who killed, but all I focused on was to protect my team, so you do the same focus and I promise well…it will get easier especially when you have good freinds on your side" she said as Idora looked at her 'freinds'…no, family not just Klyn, Fren and Rain, but Cloth, Blugpy, Topper, all the ghosts and slimes she formed a pact with and the undead skeletons she created and the balloons Fren formed a pact with as she nodded "I guess I like monsters instead of humans *Rubs a arm* I mean…well" she started "Dont worry I get it, the people here are not very kind or proper but give it time *grabs her hand as Idora became brains blushing* maybe I can get you to trust humans" she said as Klyn, Rain and Fren snickered seeing the mouse brained scientists cute blush as Klyn pulled her hood up.
"Come on lovebirds lets see if like in my villiage there is a guild hall where we should get quests" said Klyn remembering how there were quest boards in the inn of her old villiage "Right mostly because I am gonna a ignore the king and not get any silver from that old fool" he said as Liz held a bag up "Dont worry, I stole it from the dumb king though you seem very self sufficiant" said Liz as the group walked down the street to the guild hall "I am I can use alchemy to make items to eat or to heal and even weapons plus well…I rarely need to eat nowadays, well need the fats and proteins for my new magical power which is chimmering and for taste" he said as the group continued down the path to the guild hall…however they passed by what looks like a mimic of Arios Orlandos team…time seemed to slow as a sense of energy seems to pass but brains didnt notice as time sped up as they finish passing however the mimic of Mile perked as if sensing something as she turned around…but Idora and her party were gone "Mil are you ok?" Asked Arios as he turned to face his white mage who just shook her head "Its fine its nothing" she said ignoring her feeling of something soon will happen.
Back with our spellbook hero thanks to the help of a kind noble managed to get to the guild hall as now Idora was looking at it "Here is the guild hall, where adventurers go to do requests to help around…which is perfect for a hero like you in prepping for the waves" said Liz as Idora looked around along with Klyn and Fren at the other adventurers who were chatting, gossiping…and some staring at the spellbook holder which considering what had happened and how fast gossip spreads about the heroine. "This is it *turns to her secret skeleton, living armor, noble and possible member, modded balloon and a floating spellbook open showing the familiar villiage* balloon army, slime army, ghost army, skeleton army, my top skeleton knight, living armor and future member (Liz: ooh you see me as a member) *Cue blush* Maybe but none the less, all the summons I have gained and tamed…we are now going the route games follow that only me and Fren know and *becomes Burgertron points/guestures to the request borad* we get quests *uses the iPod spellbook to translate the requests* which quest no idea…maybe gain some" started the food bot bot but he stopped as he heard gossip…about something familiar
"I never seen a metal slime with a strange high defense"
"When I killed it it gave me a tone of EXP it helped me level up"
"There are a lot of odd undeads"
"its a strange aura of death and sadness we had to fall back"
"A Mimic attacked yet it seemed odd it had yellow eyes"
"There are poison pools we couldn't go further"
"I managed to use a Poison immunity potion there was a litch of a priest but we had to teleport out I never felt such rage"
"A litch that can use light based spells, rare but very unheard of"
Hearing all that gossip the burger bot and the living armor were staring at each other "Burgertron: you dont think…" "Fren: it cant be" "Burgertron: Maybe I mean your the expert like am so maybe" "Fren: it has to be, the poor guy if it really is him" "Burgertron: Plus I doubt it can be anything else I mean Metal slimes with high EXP and mimics with eyes I bet in this world they have no eyes" the two said back and forth talking as Klyn and Liz just watched "Um what are you both talking about?" Asked Klyn "You two know something?" Asked Liz as the living armor and bot bot turned to face them "Sorry on that" they said in unison.
After explaining about the spot being from a game from Idora and Frends world Liz had a contemplating work "So there is a cursed Priest in the basement of this fallen Abby that is wretched with pain and anguish since he cant rest and thus causing that strong aura that normal adventurers just turned back" said Liz as both Burgertron now Idora and Fren nodded "Amazing that he kept the power of light dispite being a unded, he is still in pain wanting to go to heaven to be with the goddess and to be free from what has happened to him when the abby fell to the plague, but this isnt dragon quest I dont think the way to heaven of his world will open" said Fren as Idora slapped her hands on the table taking a new form she unlocked Naruto as he got a serious face "We are gonna form a pact with him, if he cant move on to heaven to be with the goddess Celestia then we will give him a home with the Familiar villiage and with the skeletons, balloons, slimes and ghosts, Klyn and Fren and me *Softens* he may not be able to pass on but he can have a new life" he said as Liz stared and smirked "Sure its not for power, a litch who can use light spells as well as dark spells is rare and unique and can get people impressed with you" she said as Naruto looked "I dont care about that, its cool but all that matters is that he is at least happy and have a new happyness" said Naruto as Liz stared and smiled "you are a good soul, you are agressive but you have a good head on your shoulder at least now you need to figure out where this so called abby is" she said as Naruto nodded "I am on it" he said walking off to get the information.
"100 silvers she gets agressive to get the information" said Klyn "That is a suckers bet…300" said Liz as the sound of screeching "I am not gonna stand for a group of cowards hiding information from me" said a efiminate voice as it shows it was Grell (Black butler) intimidating a few adventurers who entered the ruined Abby as his long red hair was curling to show his magical might…though it was tricky to show his full intimidation due to the bangs covering his eyes "*Shows a piece of paper and a pen* now you will tell me where it is right now before I do something" he said before he folded one arm where he was holding his pen and paper and used his free hand to rub his chin "Dont know what it will be but bottom line I will do something if I dont get the information" he said with a serious face…or as serious a Okama reaper can be with bangs covering his eyes as with Liz and Klyn they gave each other low fives on the 'suckers bet'
It then shows Idora/Grell and his/her party were outside the castle as the red haired reaper were reading the instructions as Fren was next to him "You know you didnt have to make some of the adventurers afraid of you just to get information to the ruined abby" he said as Grell pushed the bangs away from his eyes "I know but if the just agreed to show me information I wouldn't have to get scarry" he said as he dropped his bangs which Liz noticed "Maybe if you showed more of your eyes to add to the intimidation factor" she said…mostly because she just want to see the reapers eyes and see if she can see Idora through them "Sorry this form has long hair and my magic interpreted to give me long hair not only in the back but also the front as well" he said as the reaper felt a hand touch the fringe as something held it in place as he saw clearly Liz's smiling face.
"Better and now I can see your eyes and you know what I see?" She asked as Grell just looked away a sting from the action he did during the trial flaring "A monster" he asked "Nope, a cute fighter" she said as she walked ahead of the reaper, armor and skeleton (As said skeleton lowered her hood) "Well that sounded like a flirt" said Klyn "I know look at Idoras face" said Fren as Grell was blushing "She called me a cute fighter *Grins* she thinks I am cute 'like with Beth…Beth, I hope she wont be mad I feel odd around Liz…and yet she feels familair like I have seen her twice' he thought as the group soon came to a hole in the ground with a tombstone like rock. "According to the instructions I got (Klyn and Fren: Threatened) ok threatened this is it and…*Lowers the paper and frowns* I think its because I am either a Shigigami or I am getting used to magic because I can feel it *levitates the spellbook as it opens showing the familair village and the symbols of the other monsters with worry face emojis* even my monster pals, even Ben-Kai and he is the toughest Beetleboy I know" he said as a bunch of slimes were hopping nervous at the energy of negative magic
"Monsters have that instinct its how they know to stay away or to follow a alpha and I doubt the Litch will do that to the monsters since he is wallowing in despair" said Fren as the group stepped into the crumbling former Abby as the group looked around as those who were sensitive magic can feel the anguish the priest litch was emanating "It got more choking since those last adventures were here" said Liz as the group was unaffected by Grell feels like it will be hard to progress and if there are cracked walls that Ben-Kai can break as practice it will be hard to pull him out of the familair village or use this new technique Blackly made and that is [echo sensing Trasure] until he got an idea before becoming Idora "If this works then I should do this more often to calm the undead" she said as she soon got to a center area as she looked at her dress "Maybe switch it out for Lotties outfit" as she swapped it out as she looked down the hallway of the abby as she took a breath as she started to sing
Bella: La la la
La la la la la la
Gales of song guide me through the storm
Those first few words it seem to echo resonate in the abby as deep in the bowls a priest like litch listened as well as monsters that lived in the abby.
On the winds of a small simple melody
Words take flight and soar they carry me the world will see
Fren was in awe as Liz didnt know what to think but smiled 'her voice is beautiful' she thought which was true as Idora sang from the heart as it made Liz feel fuzzy while Klyn felt a resonation with the song as it felt like her life.
Looking for a farewell I pull the threads of life without you
I cannot accept I cant not deny I cant let go
Inside the Familiar villiage the Balloons, slimes and ghosts and skeletal zombies looked up hearing Idora sing as Rain, Clotho, Topper, Ben-Kai, Caduceus, Apocraphy, Blackie and Frens summons were listening hearing the song as it felt beautiful and filled them with courage and confidence
But now that your gone I have to move on
Seems like everyone dispose at the sun but what about me?
Tell me how would I know where I should have go
Oh gales you sing and go ahhh
And me I walk alone there's more to life I have to know
Its just me far so far away from home alone I shut myself in still dont know how where they go
And there voices lead me gales of song guide me through the storm
Let the melody lead me far belive
Gales have song please stay by my side
Fren eye then caught on a Metal slime who shyly hopped over a bit scared if they will attack just for experience as Fren walked over and kneeled down which Idora notice and joined him as she gently bended down to pick up the metal slime
Wings of love breath into my life
"Is that a slime?" Asked Klyn curious as she saw the blue slimes but she never saw a silver slime "It is a rare metal slime that gamers like me harvest for EXP but they flee because of it and are hard to beat due to high DEF, what's a little guy like you coming here?" Asked Fren "Klionk the human sounded amazing" said the slime as Idora blushed "Well will you look at that tamer you can attract the rare ones" said Klyn as Idora became King candy and tried to bonk on her but reached only her legs "I deny that I deny that" he said as the jumped off and nuzzled his stomach "you still sing lovely Klink it made the atmosphere feel nice Klink" he said "do you know why there was so much despair in the abby? It felt choking" said Fren.
"Klink its because of the Tortured Priest deep in the basement of the abby, ever since those weird purple swirly clouds came there has been a lot of bad energy klink spreading through the land" he said 'so even if the waves are sealed negative energy still comes from the gates' thought king Candy and Liz "Klink he got more aggressive a day ago and when more adventurers came to try to conquer this place Klink luckily we monsters stood up and the Priest really let them have it" said the metal slime with his usual grin "it seems like the wave of undead must have caused a energy spike that placed the Priest in a beserked rage poor guy he already suffered alot" said Fren "Klink yuppers, balloon told me that and his freinds from the books of the abby lots of diaries from others who were victims of the plague that struck this land" said the metal slime with Fren hummed "Tell me if me and my party can go into the abby, can we give you and those balloons you said you met a proper home and also take those books so we can make a honor gravesite" said Fren surprising the silver slime "Klink clunk you are not gonna kill me for EXP, a lot of humans attack my kind for such EXP and its mostly the reckless slimes who are cocky on there defense" he said as King Candy gently petted him "Me and my developing guild are not like that (Klyn: we are starting a guild) why not, I mean I dont trust humans so why not a unique guild of monster (Liz: do you trust me) *blushes* well you are a acceptation as well as this minner girl beth and my adopted brother Naofumi but other humans no you can give them a hair cut" said King candy crossing his arms cutely causing the group to snicker at the poise.
"In other words we accept you joining us and any monsters that are kind and smart to talk to us, but those who dont or are aggressive we will attack" said Fren as the silver slime smiled bigger "Now to indoctrinate you into our family *cue a cute thinking face* got it, your name will be Aristotle (Fren: dont you mean Arospotle? Klyn: why call it that?) Lets try to make them unique from other named monsters like if we find a Dragon quest robot lets name them Noah" said King Candy now Idora as she gently patted Aristotles head as a magic circle appeared showing the pact was formed "There you go, welcome to the team, we have peanut butter Oreo cookies, how about you get to know the other monsters, I have a normal blue slime named Blugpy, 100 blue slimes we are possibly gonna make a King slime when we find a King slime crown and two heal slimes name Caduceus and Apocraphy" said Idora "And a shadow slime I named Ink but be careful he is a cheek" said Fren as Aristotle was happy "Thank you, and as a thanks I will show you the books and the balloon like creatures Klink" he said
"That is a equal repayment" said Liz no matter what relm…intellegent monsters will always find a way to pay off there debts Thought Liz "Alright people lets match forward and pillage and fight in this abby and see what we can get and save a Priest litch" said Idora pointing forward as the group stepped deeper into the abby and started the training montage and exploration/collecting stuff. Which helped that due to the atmosphere now being calmer it allowed some of the monster pals were able to leave the familair villiage to help out with exploration like Ben-Kai using a skill he made due to head butting on slimes to strengthen his horn and charge to make the skill [Wall breaker] to break down walls to find hidden rooms and treasures…one of the hidden rooms was the living quarters for templars "This means there must have been templars living in this abby" said Fren as Liz studied the room like a archeologist "What are templars?" She asked curious "They are holy knights that protect the abby from monsters and bandits and the abbot and higher up the head priest of Neros" said Fren as he looked around and managed to find a few non destroyed templar uniforms, around 3 "These can be useful" he said as Liz rubbed the fabric "It seems resistant to the elements so that is useful" she said as Blackie flew up and came back from the ceiling with a Mardeck Body crystal "Sqeeak, theres a hidy hole of items, small accessories" he said as Liz pushed a still sturdy chair to peek where Blackie was flying, inside were silver rings with odd patterns, one ring had a strange helm on it and a note which Liz took
[Hah who is a scary cat now I got the walking armor ring from Master Gyron and those cool rings with the shinny gems in them]
"Humm, I guess there must have been a magical mage smith that made magical accessories" said Liz as she brought down to show the accessories and items founded as Idora now looking like Grell with a few books which according to Fren were diaries from the templars as the shigigami studied the accessories "These are KH accessory rings, but the one with the knights helm *Takes it* its…" he started as he felt a slight tingle
[Obtained Guardian ARM Ring armor]
That surprised Grell "A ring armor? No wait a guardian ARM from MAR havan? How this wasnt part of the dragon quest world *anime thinking look* then again I founded KH Accessories and have been rule breaking with the dragon quest monsters" he said as Fren walked up with one of the open diaries "According to a templar diary there was a magi smith named Garron who made not only swords and armor for the knights but also strange 'creatures' that came from accessories *shows the knight moving his helmet reading the book as you see thought bubbles* hummm I wonder if he is another worlders, boss we need to find his smithery" said Fren "you plan on opening a smithery?" Asked Klyn "Didnt know you were a black smith" said Liz as Blackie got on her shoulder as she rubbed his ear.
"I am not but it will be useful to have a way to make armors since well making armors or weapons with a atelier is tricky…and I doubt I can use Rayza or Soffies style of alchemy" said Grell as he placed the rings on the bed to study them "Alright then lets see, besides that body crystal from Mardeck that Blackie founded, we have 1 KH Sardonyx ring, 1 Tourmaline ring, 1 Aquamarine ring and 1 garnet ring and a Guardian ARM Ring armor *Holds it* I can become Maria from MAR since I have the stats for it though water stats I guess its because Maria primary used Vaqua a water based ARM and I wonder if I can grow from that" the red haired Reaper said as he saw his audience staring. "You guys have no idea what I am talking about, sorry rambling *Places the Ring armor on his finger* lets just say the new form I will unlock will make a strong use to the summon I got…and wonder if I will get the ARM that he uses mostly" said Grell as he summoned the transformation screen as Fren checked outside the room and then walked back "Boss we got company and its angery skeletons" said Fren "Well about time its time to level up to get ready against the Soul…and item harvest" said Maria as he patted himself "And I wish we got some more spears, as note to myself if I unlock a MAR character it dosent mean I will get the ARM" he said as the Skeletons charged but both Klyn and Fren got on the defensive as Ben-Kai, Clotho and Rain hopped out and bit on a skeleton in the back (there are around 5) as Ben-Kai charged "Liz are you good in attacking or is that wand for show?" Asked Maira as Liz shook her head "I am still learning how to use magic plus my magic isnt very…stable" she said as Maria held a arm out "If that is the case then stay back if it gets to rough *reaches into the invatory and pulls out the pole arm staff and 18 of the DEX transformation crystals** Though I wish the real Maria invested stock in speed" he said triggering the crystals to give 10 passive Dex to Maria "But at least this Pole axe staff is a cousin to a spear so I can do this *Charges* I charge to smash skeleton heads he sand as with a strong swing he busted one of the skeletons heads "Ben-Kai headbut the one on the back, did you practice how to jump for jumping tackles?" He commanded "No because wings are *Cue Maria picking up the beetleboy* acchhh put me down" he protested "Reminder to add training gym to teach you to fly tackle" said Maria as he tossed Ben-Kai as he plowed through them like bowling bawls as Maria, and Fren each held up a score card with 10 "Now that is a 10 for 10 strike" he said as the skeletons were dropped into bones as a chest appeared as the masked chess piece opened it revealing 5 Soldier swords from Dragon quest.
"We got more swords *pickes them up and looks at his ring finger where the Ring armor is and at the sword and then you can anime see the many weapons that Idora collected which Liz and Fren noticed the gears turning* We must collect more ring armors we will have a army of sword wielding Armors!" He said with a cute stary eyed look in his masked eyes "Can those be founded?" Asked Liz confused "Well they are common in MAR mostly used for testing and for young mages to practice guardian summoning *Gets stary eyed* but if my fanfiction writings taught me a worthless ARM can become super awsome with the right items or ingredents, and if I can find extra armor to equip more awesomeness!" He said as Fren got exasparated as Rain, Ben-Kai and Clotho were confused at the exasperation "I am exasparated that I should had read MAR havan magna so that I can keep up with her.
"I think she is referring to making new ARM by infusing materials into them to make them stronger, like how the inventor does so with his works" said Klyn as Fren and Liz stared at her "you can keep up?" Asked Liz as the skeleton shrugged "we have a inventor who does the same in creation" said Klyn as the party was still stunned minus Miria who was plotting. After pushing him to stop over thinking they continued…both exploring and fighting monsters and growing levels as Idora got to level 12…which took a while due to the fact the EXP bar is growing due to reaching what Idora calls stage 2 due to her class, but she sloshes it off as according to her she has a collection of stat point crystals she can collect if needed (More so she put all 10 into MDef deciding to get all stats to 100 and either get a skill or just be bad assed…and no not cheat with collected Stat crystals, she will wait for that later like at the third class change. Though fighting the monsters of the abby yealed great results not just with the starting swords fighting the Drackymas they got 3 Batwings and a Moonwort bulb, with a plan to grow them in the villiage if they set up a garden patch for the bulbs for unlimated Moonwort bulbs and facing Fly guys…
It shows Idora looking like Firefly as she, Blugpy, Aristotle, Klyn, Liz and Fren staring at a pile of…Cow pat (they fought 10 and thus 10 piles of Cowpats) "So what should we do with this?" Asked Fren "Slurp, it smells" said Blugpy "Maybe you can use it to grow plants Klink" said Aristotle "I could but I need seeds and we need a way to store them, maybe make a compost heap?" Said Firefly "of Cow pies? Idora I have a garden near my manor and I don't think the servants store this" said Liz staring at the pile "Maybe make a box to put the cow pats in and I can use it to make herbicide and keep it near the spot where we will keep the future wherehouse and also be a mark" said Firefly as you can see Fren and Ben-Kai and Apocraphy picking up random jars "Then store it away and smash these jars you can find good stuff in them" said Fren tossing the jars as a yellow light gem rolled out as Liz picked it up "What's this?" She asked "Something that will boost my Elemental proficiancy *Takes it and uses it boosting his light element by 1* the higher it is the more stronger the spells connected to that element is" said Firefly as Liz nodded as a joining Caduceus floated over "Hay boss, I founded a lot of blue gems in a fountain" he said as the group looked at him "What fountain?"
Minutes later and battling a Bag o Laughs and a mummy boy and getting a headband from the bag (Which Idora promptly puts on since it looks cool) the group came to what looks like the ruins of a central area for the abby "This area must have been the court yard area for the abby" said Idora as she followed Caduceus as the healing slime showed her the blue crystals as Liz looked around "What happened to cause the place to fall to ruin?" She asked "A mysterious plague swept the abby and possibly a town close to the abby, many people who lived here died and for the abbot, well the plague killed him, but his soul couldn't leave his decaying corpse that he became a litch priest and was emotionally suffering" said Fren as he maynot be able to frown physically inwardly he did at what could had been a beautiful abby…but has long since decayed and was abandoned into a underground ruin.
"Klink i haven't forgotten about the balloons and books you asked for" said Aristotle as he hopped out of the familair village close to Fern "this is close to the area where and a few balloons are, plus the library where there are some cool stuff that the balloons learned to read from" he said "Oh so that is where you learn how to speak so clearly, well except for the Klink tick" said Fren as Maria walked up with Caduceus with a handful of blue water Stat gems (Around 30) "Hay Fren check this out I think the abby was filled with magic to accumulate so many gems like this, perfect to boost my water spells…even if I barely know much" said Maria as the group stared.
After becoming more better with water, the group started to look around learning that the abby was larger then what was in the game and was connected to a villiage and thanks to Dragon quest logic some things were well preserve and even founded chests that had items that was in the abby like the Bronze shield and a bandit grass skirt both of which Idora has an idea for with, along with the soldier swords "We are gonna make some of the skeletons wear the dragon quest armors…well the normal ones, same with Klyn for when we are away from towns" said Idora as Klyn was surprised "Are you sure? I mean the Cerberus hooded pelt was awsome" she said "I am sure plus if we find a way finder shirt or a priestess robe you will be awsome" she said as Klyn blushed as Fren walked up…with Rain and Clotho and Aristotle and Blugpy with a pile of Plain cloths (Fren having 10, Rain, Clotho and Aristotle each having 3) "I learned how to use Yangus whistle skill and I managed to get a few Bag o Laughs to drop these Cloths" said Fren as Liz whistled and rubs the cloth "Little low defense but good if you want to outfit a legion of skeletons *Looks at Idora* still impressed you can summon skeletons" she said as Idora took one of the plain cloths and walked up to Klyn as they worked to switch out the top with the Plain cloths "they are made mostly of mud and dirt and grounded up skeleton dust but better then using the real deal" said Idora as Klyn looked at herself with the plain cloths "And now to make five normal skeletons that can use the solder swords and one with the bandit grass skirt" she said as she got to work on that.
With Fern, followed by Blugpy, Aristotle, Rain and Clotho and following Aristotles instructions to where the balloons are as he entered what looked like a abandoned building but the sound of shuffling revealed it was filled with something as in the middle of the room was a balloon, but it was a dull silver with a sheen showing it was made of metal as it growled as Fren held his metal hands up "Easy now I am not here to bother you or any of your comrads if they are hiding *Points to Rain and Clotho, bigger due to leveling up and on the cusp of becoming Balloon royalty* see I am a freind to balloons and I just want to give you and your comrads a home if its ok?" He asked as the silver (Metal) Balloon stared as Clotho hopped over along with rain "You should let me and Clotho take care of this, he seems to be wary about humanoid monsters" said Rain as he and Clotho approached the same with Aristotle "I'll join in to Klink I knew this silver balloon as well" he said as the metal slime approached as the group had a group talk as the Metal balloon nodded and looked at Fren "Sloorp do you think he trusts you now?" Asked Blugpy as the metal balloon nodded and made a grunt sound as 15 balloons came out from under the beed, 3 Orange balloons, two Red balloons, 6 Yellow balloons and 2 green balloons and two hybrid, 1 had green and blue skin and 1 had red and green skin "So these are your freinds? Dont worry my boss will take you to a amazing place where monsters of all types live in harmony especially with other balloons and if you want a name Boss can give you guys a name and help you evolve to become human if you want to be human" said Fren
"Slurp can I be human since I have a name?" Asked Blugpy "Doubt it but maybe you will become a king slime or a knight slime" said Fren as the Metal slime shuffled talked to Clotho and Rain "He wants to know if this place will take the black smith and if he can help him evolve into a Balloon king candidate to become human, he wants to become a blacksmith" said Clotho "You are gonna need to ask Idora but she apparently can absorb buildings and items into her own dimensional world but yes we can make you have a name" said Fren as the metal balloon nodded as the group went to return to Idora.
And speaking of Idora "Behold my first five skeleton army" said Idora now as he poised to Liz at his creations. They looked like normal human skeletons but naked except for the Plain cloths top and the lead one having on the bandit grass skirt and the second one having the bronze shield "I already have a growing army with 30 Metal samurai armored skeletons and 30 Mardeck fallen soldiers skeletons, but these will be the first to be named and be the battlers now meet Skullzuki (Guestures to the skeleton with the bandits grass skirt), Arskull (Guestures to the one with the bronze shield), Skulled, Bone and Clatter bow to me I have soldiers who will fight with me and my party and if I teach them how to gather, to gather materials *Thinking look* I need to make something to return my searchers to safety" he muttered as Liz smiled "you are very one of a kind" she said as brains smiled "Thanks, hopefully it will help during the waves as well what we collected it has a boon on all my monster pals and me as well in the familiar villiage (Liz: oh so that is why you took those beds) Pretty much its for the Church I have, I think it can be a good place for monsters to rest or learn how to be priests or priestess when I name some of them" she said as Fren and his team walked up with the new Balloons as he waved over "Hay boss, got some new recruits *picks up the steel Balloon* we got another recruit for naming and to be a balloon king candidate he wants to become a blacksmith" said Fren as brains took the balloon "Alright but be warned you need to fight but you are tough and from the books you know how to craft you just need hands to do it, but if you are ready to learn and train it will be a uphill battle" said brains as the metal balloon gave a tough guy look "Like your spirit, and so since you want to craft and make something I will name you Kakazi after a character from who was passionate about crafting and making stuff" he said as Kakazi glowed due to gaining a name.
"We will train you hard Kakazi to catch you up to Rain and Clotho…especially rain since he can become a Fairy and a balloon and now we are going to teach him to become a human" said brains as Rain got smug on the prospect of becoming Human "I didnt know Balloons can become human" said Liz bending down to study the rainbow Balloon "Normally they cant due to being slain to fast that a king/queen balloon is made in 100 balloons in the wild, but when a monster under the pact of a cardinal hero gains experience raised under that hero they become a candidate to become a king or queen of there species and the power to become a human" said Fren as the red and green skinned balloons and green and blue skinned balloons hopped and bit on brains coat "What is it you two? You two want a name?" He asked as the two talked as Clotho translated "They want to become Balloon queen candidates and gain the power to become humans and become Crafters and make accessories and cute dresses" said Clotho as became Clogstopper and petted them both "Awww sure thing, like with Kakaze it will be a long bath but it will be worth it for you both, but you need a name so lets see *gets on a thinking face* gotcha *points to the Red and green patch balloon* you will be Esche and *Points to the blue and green balloon* you will be Lulu and with those names you are in the running to be balloon queens…or princesses under Clotho who will be the alpha" said Clogstopper as the two balloons nodded
"We got new balloon pals and a slime buddy we are on our way with a army of monsters, it is super, and now what is next?" Said Clogstopper super happy anime "We go to the smithery and take that" said Fren "its still standing?" Asked ClogStopper
Minutes later a Idora, Liz and Fren were infront of a decripted but still standing black smith shop "Its still standing, I wonder what it will be inside?" Said Idora as the group walked in it was dusty and empty of no life except for a silver looking Mini-forge which to Idora was strange and a few glowing silver bars which could be magic silver and on the table fragments of magic stone and a few non broken ones and loose papers and a chest and on a table was a crafters tool set "But the supplies here can be used *Studies the forge* though I never seen a forge like this" said Liz as Idora used the Iphone spellbook to use inspect on the forge
[ARM Making forge
A forge used to make ARM, requiring a base, ingredents and the users imagination to create a unique special ARM]
That caused Idoras eyes to widened as she grinned big while Fren and Liz studied it "it reminds me of the Mini-Forge" said Fren as Idora became Mira excited "We have potential! We have ARM Making potential *gets normal faced* we need magical metal and Magic stones *goes up to the Magic silver and Magic stone fragments…and fed it to the spellbook except maybe one or two Complete magic stones or magic silver* if I learn how to make Magic steel or magic stones it will be helpful, but right now it will be wise to find already made" she said as the spellbook glowed and changed. It was now silver with the symbol of Team MAR as on the back is the symbols of the Chess pieces and cross guard

"I get no stat gains, but at least *looks at the Ring Armor arm ring* I can boost the ARM I have already and if I feed the spellbook materials I can boots the efficiency of the ARM I own" he said as Liz smiled 'for someone so excitable she has a big brain to figure out how to do it' thought Liz as Fren picked up the crafting tools "Better hold onto these for Kazaki when he becomes human and fore Escha and Lulu" he said "Right now come on lets see if there is some stuff to collect" said Maria as he founded letters and notes from the master Blacksmith who made weapons for the templars, and ARM for the magi templars who use magic and from the treasure chest was a gold mine…it had forage books which made Idora happy "These books are from Hagels shop from Atiler Rorona, Totori and Meraru *Shows Maria anime happy hugging the books* with these we can make awsome Armor to equip and defend ourselves and also there are books on accessories for Escha and Lulu bonus when we really get the smithery up and going" he said
Cue showing Maria reading book as Liz looked over his shoulder humming as she studied as well as in the background Fren was straightening up some loose papers that seem to be order forms from the blacksmith.

"Not gonna lie the guy was a master builder and alchemist in making materials that I think he was gonna teach a apprentice before the plague hit hard" said Maria closing his spellbook "how can you tell?" Asked Liz as she joined to help Fren with organizing the blacksmiths work order receipts "from the type of books that we founded these are climbing up on learning for a apprentice" said Maria as he saw something poking from a desk as he opened it and pulled it out and flipped fast read through it "This is the old mans list of ARM he made and kept a record of and was gonna share with his Apprentice if he got one and well, look at that" said Maria "Look at what?" Asked Liz as Maria gave a look "the old man or women made 800, about 13 more then the ARM Stolen from Calidla, how old was the guy was he a witch before he died?" Asked Maria as a minute later they walked out as Idora walked up to the building "Alright be amazed Liz I can absorb buildings" she said as she tapped the building with the spellbook as it started to glow as the building also glowed and then pixlated and then in a swoop, vanished "Woah" said Liz surprised "Bow to me I am god *Walks up with the spellbook opened to show the Dungon village artwork of the familair villiage showing a pixie version of Klyn helping out the new skeletons of the zombie union and the non named slimes bonding with arespotle and Topper chatting with the new balloons as the ghosts were hanging around the union* or god of a space I made look" she said showing the new blacksmith store that was in a row with the other buildings "hummm, it can be better so lets do some organization" said Idora.
*5 minutes later*
"Done" she said as she moved the buildings around using 'will of god'.
The Zombie town was still in the same spot, but in the main village she moved the Church against the north wall (bit away from the balloon villiage where it was in the same spot) but kept the in in the same spot but moved the Black smith onto its on road away from the inn and moved the houses into there own spots and moved Melchalors inventors home next to it, but a few inches away from it and moved Klyns home close to the church, but a few inches away.
[Due to obtaining "Blacksmiths forge" obtained 200 EXP]
"And if I add a new building or upgrade it I gain EXP, gain a level and the land expands, pretty awsome" she said "It sounds over powered" said Liz which in a way it is as Idora shrugged and continued on as she became the pastor bot "It maybe but I am not gathering strength with every monster I form a pact with they are my partners and comrads in this world where…well I cant trust humans, the people here are selfish, greedy and dont see we the cardinal heros as people just stepping stones and the other cardinal heros minus Naofumi, this isnt a game and there are things you cant take back…as I learned hard" he said recalling how he killed the knight and those nobles to make a statement as Liz watched her 'she is defently the type to take it hard for what she has done and I dont blame her, if she came from a world of peace then killing would be hard on her, but she seems to find a strength to push forward and become stronger from it…its impressive' thought Liz impressed with Idoras strength of will as the pastor smiled "Now enough with the gloom, we got some more exploring before we face the boss and get him to join the gang for healing" he said smiling eh eye smiling as the group continued on as they came to a area that looks like the main place of warship with a giant cross near the front "I would had thought that Tortured priest would be here since it was close to the place of warship" said Liz as Idora became Bakugo and walked up to the large cross and tried to pry it off which caused Fren to jump out and freak out
"Idora that is a precious item of warship (Bakugo: this is abandoned so come on its best to recycle it like in Dragon quest builders) this isnt builders and still its the principle and disrespectful!" He said as Bakugo managed to pry it off "Fren listen when we recruit the priest I think this will be a kind reminder of his old church and give him some relaxing peace" he said as placed it into the spellbook and placed it on the Church
[Grand cross added Church has leveled up to lv.2]
"Now its a proper church, mostly because Klyn told me that there grand cross was taken, I bet its because of raiders or the Litches men" said Bakugo as Fren exasparated sighed at her bluntness "you are a animal boss *Looks around* but I bet there are crosses and prayer beads here that belonged to priest and priestes that trained here" said Fren as Bakugo nodded and summoned the Mardeck fallen warrior skeletons "Alright you lot, look around and collect all the cross necklaces, prayer beads and photographs and diary entries and take them to Mayor Mayor, when we find materials and make certain items we are gonna make a memorial and more gravestones for those who fell to the plague" he said as the soldiers nodded and spread out "And with that lets keep looking and find the basement" said Bakugo as they continued
And exploration they did as they explored the barracks and founded a angels robe which Idora offered to Liz who declined but said thanks for the offering, and few way finder robes (3) which belonged to some of the people living there and the ARM healing angel as according to a diary entery belonging to a apprentice priestess Named Sarah she used it to perfect her healing Aura to help with the injured knights and Sahras notes on herbs which Klyn took to her home to study as well as two more Ring armors that two apprentice witches used for practice, though a note by a witch in training revealed he wanted to teach the Ring armor how to use a sword which Idora took note on.
Soon the Mardeck soldiers came with cross necklaces, prayer rings, but also items they got from beating up monsters or founded around the Abby which made Idora decide that once they get materials to make a training facility for the monsters to fight and to learn how to collect items "Alright each and everyone of you drop the items you got on the bed and return to the undead union and tell the other skeletons what you did and take what you learn and embedded it and make the others embed it" she said as one by one all 30 skeleton warriors dropped off there items and returned to the familiar villiage.
"So now you have a army of collecting items, pretty bold for a not necromancer" said Liz impressed "I am getting flashbacks to my older brothers Alchemy games with a puni" said Fren "you have shadows who do the job as info gathers so I should have the same with a army of monsters who can gather materials or information or items" said Idora now Jack Spicer as he started to organize the items
Total items were this
10 Plain cloths
13 Plain cheeses (Liz: it looks fresh Fren: Dragon quest magic to keep it fresh and make a monster trigger a special skill)
10 Moonwort bulb (Mardeck soldier 3: Blackie joined us as the Drakyma tried to get him to join but he refused Klyn: potential to grow later)
3 Head bands (Jacks voice: potential if I can collect more alchemy flowers I can make floral headbands Klyn: now that is something)
1 Turban (Klyn: hummm, all I need is a face cloth to hide my face and I see potential with the turban)
20 Antidotal herbs (Jack spicers voice: I maybe immune to poisons but I am sure for those without the antibody skill will benefit from it lets see if we can cultivate it)
1 Iron nail (Fren: Ok which one of you faced a cannibox those are very dangerous and have high defense)
20 Light essences (Jack: ok this must be because this place is holy but still not looking a gift hours in the mouth we keep
1 Amethyst Earring (Liz: this looks pretty Jack: and useful for my budding Fig skills reminder to equip it later
2 Mardeck Silver swords
1 Mardeck Mythril sword
10 Fig crystals (Jack: question on that but I guess its because this place is spiritual Liz: good guess
30 Aether crystals (Fren: how spiritual is this place?)
5 Weapon ARM Guardiss (Liz: Must be for the templar knights)
2 Weapon ARM Griffin lance
1 Princess robe (Jack: ooooh maybe Beth or the cloaked figure would like to see me in this Liz: humm maybe test it on me

1 Seed of resilience (Fren: you managed to beat a agressive metal slime? Aristotle: nope I joined the raid and it screamed and dropped it)
3 Waterweed mould (Fren i know one was in a box but how the other two were gained? Jack: I checked as Jack skeleton and learned the other two water weed mould was cultivating in the abandoned pond)
10 Transformation Aether crystals (Jack spicer: a step closer for Me as Fumikage to summon dark shadow and be awsome
30 Transformation Water crystals (Klyn: we founded them where the extra water mould was, Idora is gonna use them for Maria to perfect his water magic)
100 Bottles of holy water (Klyn: according to them they got it from a box they sent to stores when needed and that they founded them near a fountain)
3 Red Mould (Klyn: Founded in a kitchen I guess the chefs were making spicy cheese)
10 Pot lid (Liz: did you found these in the kitchen because that is the only spot to get them Fren: No you can get them in craniboxes)
3 Seed of agility (Fren: really got to be amazed with the luck of the Skeletons Aristotle: No Klink the other metal slimes are afraid of them that they flee and drop the seeds
2 Chain mails (Liz: you are getting lots of armor and items you might as well start a store Jack spicer: we did but we have a exchange to do chores for items.
30 Grubby bandages (Fren: those I will never use for bandaging up Jack spicer: meh we can use these in other ways)
20 Templar shields (Jack spicer: For all who protected the abby, we will use them to protect)
Holy ARM Antidote tonic (Jack Spicer: According to the soldiers this was founded in the Priests quarters which means it belongs to him, better give this to him when we recruit him)
5 Blocks of magic Silver (Jack spicer: Ok now I can make ARM
10 Magic stones (Jack spicer: these accumulated due to how high the magic is)
"This is a really good haul of items, maybe I should teach the monsters I formed pacts with on how to do excursions like this, and the molds *hummmed* If I had milk or rennent powder I could make some elemental cheeses and with magic steel I can make more Ring armors" he said as he looked between the moulds and the Magic silver and the spellbook and grinned big with an idea which Fren, Klyn and Liz noticed and felt a sense of worry…
*Minutes later*
"I' will become a alchemist of all types and one of those types I give you, Ring armor with elements and with the help of our fine skeleton army to get us a sword we got up to three Ring armors" said Jack spicer now Chloe being like a announcer girl gesturing to her audience (Of Liz, Klyn, Fren, Blugpy, Ben-kai, Blacky, Topper, Kazake, Caduceus, Apocraphy, Frens shadow monster army, Clotho, Escha and Lulu) her creations.
They were both Ring armor in type but the body types were unique as one had red wrist bands and a pomel that was long and red and on the shoulder blade was a symbol of fire, the second one was the same but with blue wrist bands and a blue pomel and ice symbol "Bow to me I made the simple Ring armor have the power to weild elements…albeit only one fire spell and one ice spell from dragon quest but its a start and amazing how the two fungus can be enfused into metals and it counts as a way to give armor a element, and also I want you to meet First or better name Beta" said Chloe showing a Ring armor with a blue scarf around its neck and a sword and templar shield on its back "This is the first one we founded, it will be the beta tester to learn how to use weapons so bow to him he will use a weapon with the other two ring armors *Shows the dorment forms of the other two normal ring armos* being his minions *to Beta* so Beta as we teach you to talk you will call your kind minions" she said as the named Beta clanked trying to talk "I think he is trying, dont rush it it took me a while to learn how to talk as a living suit of armor you just need to understand the fact we have no mouths" said Fren
"They you will be the teachers to the ring armors, also I placed numbers on the last two normal Ring armors to tell them apart until they can decide there own names *Grins* imagine potential I also learned that I can "Embue" weapon ARM with the right materials *Anime Evil laughs* ahahahahaha we are growing forward with becoming a powerful cardinal hero *anime serious face* though I need to give some of these materials to Naofumi I bet he can also learn how to make ARM to help him and Raphilia" she said as the group feels like something is coming and its gonna be big.
But before Idora/Chloe could go overboard the last team of soldiers came up then told the group after the others gave her the items and Chloes rant about a set of stairs that lead deeper that smelled of poison mud and a aura from the priest which was filled with sadness "That must be where the tortured soul is…so this is it…*transforms to look like the pastor bot as he leaned on the bed as he took a fee breaths* I killed a Chimera why is this hard" he said as he sighed "Its because its a poor soul who was abandoned by lady celestia and couldnt move on and was in constant pain mentally and physically and here I am gonna try to get him to join the party for healing, I don't know if I can do it…can I do it? Is it wrong to do it?" The pastor asked as he felt Liz hug him from behind "What you are gonna do in taming the pastor and giving him a good home and healing his soul and give him a new purpose, normal humans or warriors would had just jumped in and killed the litch for EXP and goods, but you are one of a kind" she said as the pastor bot felt tears flow down his cheeks as he closed his eyes in a eye smile "Liz…why are you so warm and kind like Beth and that mysterious cloaked figure, no other person in my life ever talked to me so serenely' thank you" he said
Minutes later a human Idora…dressed in the Princess robes trying to remain calm but still felt emotionally squeamish walked to the stairs that will lead to the basement that the skeletons told her, even asking Klyn and Fren to go into the villiage with the other monsters as she had to face this on her own…sort of as Liz was next to her "Why is it hard to just go down stairs and face a dead guy…wait its a dead guy who holds a grudge arch nerves" said Idora pacing as Liz placed her Hands on Idoras shoulders "Idora…its ok, you are just gonna use your cool reach out powers to reach out to a litch priest you are a good person I know you can do it" she said as Idora took a deep breath "Thanks Liz…ok lets do this and not die" she said as she and liz stepped down the stairs as it slowly entered a dirt tunnel cavern with hints of the old abby here and there as pools of poison seem to dot "Careful now, I have a skill called Antibody, I dont know if your raw magic will protect or hurt you" said Idora as Liz gracefully hopped on pieces of dirt avoiding the poison puddles "Dont worry I am quite agile" she said as Idora became Maria just to hide a blush that was forming as Liz laughed 'she is adorable when trying to hide her blushing' she thought as the masked Chess piece followed Liz as they went deeper as they approached a area where the tortured soul is as Maria paused and took a breath.
"I can do this…I can do this…I can do this" he whispered becoming Idora as she froze a bit but felt Liz hand on her shoulder to encourage her to push on as Idora nodded as they entered the room and saw the tortured soul. It was a Litch as a species, but dressed in a purple robe of a priest as it held a staff with a holy cross on top as it was leaning on it as if in pain (which he was) "Oh holy goddess, why why must I suffer, everyone are gone, the hopefuls, the templars…my own son and his wife, everyone gone leaving me alone but the monsters who made this place there home *makes a angery face* those so called adventurers who come for spoils and my hide how dare they be so weak they cant end my suffering and the rare few who trie they cant end it, I still feel this pain *Clutches his heart* this pain" he said as Idora slowly walked over and gently tapped his shoulder as the litch turned around and glared as Idora stepped back.
"Umm, hi my name is Idora and I am here to help you out if you can let me explain I am sure…" she started but the Litch got into her face "Help me hah (Idora now Killer moth: To close!) just as the adventurers help me in ending my suffering, as they helped me by raiding my home for there own selfish greed! AS THEY HELPED ME BUT COULDENT RELEASE ME FROM MY TORMENT!" He yelled as Killer moth got up "Yes I want to help you, free you from your torment by giving you a new lease on life and a new home away from wallowing in this empty place if you please just let me help" said Killer moth as the litch stared,
"You cant help me *Raises his staff up* NO ONE CAN!" He said firing dark bolts of magic "Liz get back! He is enraged" said Killer moth as he became Pastor bot and casted barrier as Liz obeyed 'his aura is flaring all those attacks and that sense of what happened drove this litch priest over the edge' thought Liz as the dark bolts struck the pastors shield "Sir please I truely want to help you just got to let me do it…even if I have to be rough so Photon" said the pastor bot as the ball of light struck the litch as with amazing speed he dashed over to try to struck the pastor but he became Bender and bended backwards "you can never try to help me my rage, my anger will be my weapon it will make sure that you become a member of this abby as the innocent templars and victims of this cursed plague *Holds his staff up* Come citizens of the abby, come and help stop this wrench!" He chanted as several walking corpses and Skeletons came to help the priest "Dont call me a wench *becomes Maria as he held his hand up to show the ring ARM* but you can have a army of the undead, I have my own army Summon Guardian Ring armor Beta, Guardian Ring armor 1&2, Guardian Flame Ring armor, Guardian Ice Ring armor" he chanted as the ring armor rings glowed and summoned forth the walking armors with Beta holding his sword and shield out as Maria held out a ring for Griffion lance "And now Weapon ARM Griffon Lance" he said summoning the lance "Sorry about this but its for your own good, Keep the undead busy I will take care of the Tortured soul" he said charging at the soul but he blocked it "You are brave and you are strong, but its futile to try to save me" he said as he pushed the water guardian user into the wall harshly causing it to crack.
Normally it would had killed a normal person, but thanks to Vitality he had a iron body as Liz watching winced "Ooh he got her" she said as Maria got up "you are strong, yet full of sadness *Looks at the Soul as you can see his pink eyes* please let me help you, give you a purpose and a new life" he said as a dark orb struck him through the wall damaging it and revealing a room "What purpose can I have as suck in this body *the sound of clashing sword against sword was strong as the litch stared at the bishop* my soul is tainted with regret and grief that the goddess celestia abandoned me and refused to take me into her grasp and none can end my suffering so I will end your life and the lives of anyone who enter my domain" he said as he held his staff up "IF I MUST STAY CURSED THIS WAY THEN SO BE IT!" He yelled as Maria moved from the elemental bolt "You are wrong you have a purpose and the goddess isnt taking you its because *Cue a bolt of light striking him as it stung as he cluched his arm* its because this world isnt yours! This rotten world had cutted you off from lady celestia trapping you here for such cruel experimentation by the god, if she can connect to this world she would take out of this suffering *Cue more magical attacks as Maria was struck but stood strong* I know it hurts losing people who you care about…I know the feeling *walks up as the Tortured soul growled and fire black orbs of darkness* I lost my parents, I saw my older sister lose her husband and how much loss hurt, you feel alone and lost and sad and you want to blame the world *becomes Idora as she grabs her arm* but you cant dwell on the pain you have to stay strong because *Anime close up and seriousness in her face* if you allow yourself to wallow in this pain then you are just insulting the person you loss" she said as The tortured soul growled "SHUT UP YOU LIER!" He yelled however froze as Idora…hugged him shocking him and Liz as she watched *a hand on her wand just in case as the monsters and ring amor stopped fighting and stared.
"When it comes to understanding loss…I dont lie, I know this feeling of loss and how much it hurts *Feels the tortured soul try to push the young women off so she became Maria his sharp nails digging into the rotten flesh to hold on and not break the hug* it hurts every day and I saw what happens when you allow the hurt to continue *LDr. STONE, Vol. 19
Boichi
ooks into the eyes of the soul* and I am not lying when I said that allowing it to fester is damaging and its a insult to those you care about, but you can heal *slowly peels his nails out* you can move on and heal *holds a hand out* let me and my monster freinds help you, I made a church you can become a pastor of it and share the teachings of Celestia hime *uses his other hand to pull out the healing angel and Antidote tonic* be our cleric in a way since I can tell you can use both dark and healing magic and well knowing my luck maybe we can find the reincarnations of the people and citizens who live here, you can have a new life, all of you I promise" he said as the Tortured soul stared into the eyes of the bishop as flashes seem to pass his mind
A kindly priest with his wife looking at a bundle, the priest watching a boy grow up, to the boy now a man showing a girl to be his bride, to the priest watching over the templars and the priests and priestess in training, to a dwarf character hammering at a anvel making weapons, to a young women gardening…to the sick beds as many fell as a sickly purple miasmia spread through the building as the priest kneeled at the cross his skin greying as purple ooze seem to seep from the skin.
It then returned to reality as it shows tears falling as the monsters whom he summoned saw this and left fearing the warriors wrath as tears seem to drip from the Litches face "you…sware on my goddess you will find those who had died and allow them to join you?" He asked as Maria now Jack skeleton nodded "I sware on my life and the goddess celestia I will" he said as he held a bony hand out as the Tortured soul accepted the hand shake as a magical circle appeared bellow them.
[You have formed a pact with the tortured soul, the Tortured soul has joined the party]
"Well I can say I am a rare Pact maker who formed a pact with a priest litch" said Jack as Liz walked up with her hands on her hips "You formed a pact with him by hugging? You do realize that is the most oddest way to form a pact with a monster" she said "I am not a normal spell caster plus there is more then one way to solve a problem besides gutting and fighting *To the Tortured soul* be warned I am not normal so be ready for that um…what is your name? My name is Idora Shine do you remember yours?" Asked Jack as the tortured souls eye sockets widened 'shine…like white Meteor shine? Is she his daughter?' Thought the tortured soul flash backing to show a young man with light tanned skin with silver hair and blue eyes dressed as a adventurer with the same spellbook Idora had…
"You ok?" Asked Jack skeleton now Idora as the Tortured soul shook his head "Sorry I remembered someone long ago and no, the years of wallowing in this…painful despair it decayed my mind so I dont fully recall my life, except for flashes" he said as Idora felt sad for the poor undead "Well then how about I give you a temporary name until you remember your real name and I have the perfect name *Presses a hand onto the Tortured souls head* your name will be Joseph and you will be our priest to the familiar villiage" she said as Joseph felt at peace with a new name and a hopeful new purpose as he felt a familiar cold weight on his hand as he looked down and saw it was the Holy ARM Antodote tonic one of the ARM he asked Gyron the blacksmith made for him "Lady of the golden voice (Idora: where did that name came from?!) Thank you" he said as Idora smiled and hugged the litch as Liz smiled
'Records state that every spellbook holder is diffrent yet not one has gone and formed a village and form bonds and connections with monsters or fight monsters with compassion heh, I wonder what else she will do' thought Liz as Joseph gave permission to take all the books in the library and he will guide to find ARM in his old room that he left behind after his despair got to much.
The cardinal spellbook heroine has gotten a a cleric in the form of the tortured soul, what will be next for her and her monster crew, who knows but with the royal Liz maybe it will be curious and interesting
Authors note: this is the longest chapter I made and I hope I showed a bit of Idoras personality, after killing humans she shows a great remorse that she enters a self worth pity that shows that she holds great remorse for what she had done, yet she will kill monsters knowing they may eventually return.
Humans…she has enough common sense then the spear, sword and Bow hero to know when a human dies its permanent and she holds the responsibility for what she had done in her heart, something as I will show with the other Cardinal heros minus Naofumi, recklessly just dont care and have no remorse (Heck Ren had no remorse for his party members, if they died they died its a game to him so to him they just got permently evicted from the game)
And also meet the mysterious Liz…who may or may not have connections to Beth and the cloaked figure and the girl spying on Idora, who dispite being a noble cares for Idora as I will show in the chapter after the next chapter as the next chapter we take a look in Familair village as Klyn narrates what goes on in the villiage as the monsters and Fren show what they do in a villiage inspired by Dungon villiage
