Chapter 9 – Envy
Deep in Augria Sand Dunes.
With his Divine Protection of the Phoenix.
Rienhard tricked death.
"Ah, Such a beauty, Such an amazing presentation"
"Makes my mouth water"
Gluttony spoke in an excited tone.
"Oh! Apologies, I let my taste bud speak on my behalf"
He added as he jumped towards Reinhard.
Rienhard held his Sword locked in its Scabbard. He tried to unsheathe his Dragon sword
but to no avail.
"Not worthy" He breathed out a sigh of annoyance.
As he unbuckled his sword and used it while its still locked in its Scabbard to block
gluttonies advances.
"Marvelous to hold out this long and be this desperate"
"My dude, you truly are a real glutton"
Rienhard ignores gluttonies taunt as he jumps farther back creating distance between
them.
"Such a heartless individual you are!"
"I am the witch cults, Sin Archbishop representing Gluttony"
"Lye Batenkaitos"
"Now You"
"You there, You hungry individual"
"I can smell the anger from you, the feeling of hatred, rage filled with so much emotion"
"Ah this is going to be such a feast"
Gluttony spoke out taunting Rienhard to reveal himself.
Rienhard already aware of his intentions didn't pa any mind to his taunts but was still
somewhat shocked by his words.
Did he really display such human emotions? He thought to himself.
He felt somewhat happy, His whole childhood he was labeled as a monster. Unable to
understand human emotions, not able to display or express himself, People saw him as the
perfect tool for war.
He held himself on the pedestal in his mind blaming himself for all the shortcomings that
could have been avoided with him being present.
Even with Od itself by his side and being a grimoire of divine blessings, He is unable to
save anyone only causing grief to his loved ones.
The sandstorm raged.
The wind blew more furious than before.
Rienhard griped his Dragon sword hard as he crouched down to not let himself be blown
away by the strong winds.
*Sniff* *sniff*
"Marvelous!"
Gluttony spoke as he expressed pleasure, gratitude and honor on his face.
"Ah such an honor, our goddess, oh how big of a blessing this has to be to her devotee"
He expressed with a disgusting look on his face, His whole body began to spasm.
The miasma in the air was getting thicker….
And thicker….
Almost blinding both.
At the Pleiades Watchtower.
The Emilia camp was finally back on the move and was much closer to the entrance of the
tower.
"We will soon be reaching the entrance" Otto spoke out to the rest of the camp members.
"Emilia-sama, Are you alright?" Ram asked.
As she noticed Emilia with a worried expression on her face. As she heard Ram calling to
her Emilia shrugged off her worried expression.
"Are you worried about the dangers we might face?" Ram added.
"Mm-hm, NO!"
"It's about the Sage"
"I am worried about how he would perceive our visit" Emilia replied.
"If the deeds of the great sage Flugel are not a myth, then I am sure of it we will be on
the same page and would be able to receive assistance from him" Ram spoke with a small
smile on her face.
"I will do my best" Emilia replied to Ram.
The Dragon carriage came to a sudden halt, Patrasche and Gyan growled at the distance.
The sandstorm grew more furious.
Otto was barely able to keep both the ground dragons calm.
"We are surrounded!" Otto screamed to the rest.
Ram and Emilia peeked through the carriage window as they saw a huge number of
mabeasts surrounding them.
"DON' WORRY PRINCESS!" Garfiel spoke as he launched himself towards the mabeast's
taking them out one by one.
"MA' AMAZIN SELF WILL TAKE CARE OF THING'S HERE, BORTTO TAKE CARE' OF PRINCESS"
Garfiel signaled otto to move to a safe spot.
But to no avail the number of mabeast started to increase.
"Filthy, I suppose!" The Loli spirit spoke from her seat.
"The air is getting damp, and the miasma levels are increasing" She added.
Ram finally caught on to what she meant "The witch cultists are here!"
Ram added to Beatrice's claim.
Garfiel continued to tear down the mabeast's with his huge tiger hand.
Emillia Sprung into action worried for Garfiel.
"Emilia-sama!" Otto and Ram followed.
"Don't worry I will be alright" Emilia replied to calm everyone down.
Suddenly the temperature dropped as the mabeats's were about to jump towards the
carriage, they froze in midair, breaking into pieces as they fell.
Ram, with limited Mana supply due to her Oni horn being broken, was only able to back
Emilia with her wind magic.
A Mabeast jumped from Emilia's behind, Ram noticing this tried to use her wind magic but
due to mana exhaustion she couldn't and screamed in horror.
"El Minya"
Huge Minya crystal stabbed all the mabeats around Emilia backing her up.
Ram soon held herself back up and looked at Beatrice with a thankful expression.
"My contractor is such a bother sometimes, I suppose" Beatrice spoke.
"HELL SNIPE"
*STAB*
*STAB* *STAB*
*STAB* *STAB*
Huge needles came gravitating towards them at high speeds as otto was able to deter the
carriage from the needles thanks to Patrasche and Gyan.
The needles attacked some Mabeats as well, clearing out half of them. As if whoever was
attacking them thought both the mabeasts and them as equals.
Both of them, a threat to something.
Ram thought to herself as she signaled both Emilia and Garfiel to take cover.
Unable to track the enemy amidst the heavy sandstorm. Ram noticed the heavy influx of
miasma as it almost felt like she was being choked.
Emilia, Garfiel ran back to the carriage as quickly as possible while Otto grasping for
breath while somehow trying to make his way out of the heavy miasma.
As everyone at the Emilia camp fell back to avoid being wiped out by an unidentified foe
as well as suffering from lack of visibility.
Emilia thought to herself why suddenly everything was so difficult as if the world was
against her and was ready to spoil any and all of her plans.
As if she was cursed by Od itself.
Deep in Augria Sand Dunes
The miasma grew heavy….
Rienhard held his mouth and nose with his hand. The air smelled like burnt hair and blood.
He felt the presence of someone beyond his comprehension, something far gruesome.
He felt a bloodlust, The murderous intent was almost making him tremble a little.
He snapped out of it and scanned for who this deadly presences might be.
"HAHA..HA!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA"
"Bow to the return of the age of the witch"
Gluttony screamed in excitement, salivating from his mouth.
"The witch"
"Our goddess has blessed me with her presence"
"How magnificent"
He continued.
"This is such an honor; I am sure the rest will envy upon me"
