Shit!
Boom, boom, kaboom. The air was filled with the sounds of wood planks being blasted away by mana cannons, the screams of the sailors and warriors, and the creaking of the ship as it sank into the sea with all the corpses on board. The port was even more chaotic.
Neill and I inford Mother, Larent, and Alistar of our plan and they agreed it would be the best way forward. The port couldnt be lost, as it was the last bastion before the enemy reached Karhalantheel island. The siege would be lost, not only cause of the lack of food, but also we would be in danger of having an SS rank leviathan rampage.
So, here we were, having flown over here with Mother accompanying us. That was when we saw a ship being bombarded by mana cannons. I wasnt a ship expert, so I didn;t know their nas, but the ships Elyonda had were far smaller and shorter than the grimgarians. They looked a bit patched-up and poorly maintained, as if they didnt have a proper shipwright, but it didnt seem to matter if you had mages to cast defensive spells and cannons to attack.
Regroup first, you can blast things afterwards. I nodded at Neills suggestion, and we flew over to what looked like a small makeshift war camp in the middle of the port.
Princess The mont we landed, a group of soldiers, priests, and even so adventurers ca running, but were imdiately stopped by Neill with an annoyed face.
Dont make repeat, call by my na. Im here as an adventurer, okay? Okay? The people around us nodded vigorously, but before they could notice Mother and , Neill changed the topic. Anyways, injured? I saw a ship just sink.
O-Oh, that Yeah, were having so problems, a rc answered. Those five B ranks are fucking the whole place up. This damn citys ships are still using mounted crossbows! Not a single cannon or mana turret! Even the Empire's scout boat has a cannon on each side!
Unfortunately, this clear criticism against Elyonda was loud enough for the soldiers to hear. Hey, shut your mouth, drifter! Consider yourself lucky were allowing you on the ships to fight in the first place! Its only because of Lord Jethro's grace that were allowing you to fight on them!
Shut it! We took on the job to protect the city. Ghorush already told us everything! You tin cans aint got the damn soldiers to afford to shoo us away, and youre letting us die out there? t so terrible employers in my ti, but you stink the most with how desperate you are!
Youll die anyways once you get out of the city! You fight or die, thats the deal, mate!
Shut it, conscript! Damn city has to force you rookies into fighting. Dont think you're any different!
The hostility between the soldiers and adventurers was a normal thing for any city, due to the fact both were military forces. It wasn't like a city could do anything about it since adventurers brought in money due to their visit and the Quests they fulfilled within a city. So adventurers were city inhabitants, but the majority ca from other cities or even countries. Rapport was hard in that case, since you couldnt bond through patriotism.
Hey, hey, please! We need to calm down here. Were all fighting for our lives here, we need to settle down, or you want to die to a goblin or kobold? How embarrassing is that? Thankfully, those Yeosian adventurers were coming in clutch by speaking to both sides. God Yeostar is watching, probably. We cant let the city fall, right? Dont forget the manabloods offered us proper rewards. Look, we got two, no, three dragons watching over us. Youll help us, right, Princess Hestia!
H-Huh?! The man suddenly dashed forward and grabbed my hand. Ooh, I-I saw your fight and also your singing, Your Grace! Mhmm! I knew youd co back! Ghorush said you were gone, but I knew the Goddesss blessed wouldnt leave us in our ti of need!
Ghorush? Wait, did he ntion that?
Hestia? Wait, Crimson-Scaled?!
O-Oh, wait, thats her! Crimson Horns! Yeah, I saw her in the arena. Two of the four semifinalists are here!
T-Two nicknas?! That damn arena comntator!
Oi, settle down! As the horde of adventurers began to swarm around , Neill pushed them away with her scales. You can cheer her on after this damn siege is over. Where is Ghorush? Jethro or Kushlekzar? We need to talk with them now.
I-Is it ti for the counterattack! One of the soldiers blurted out.
Neill raised an eyebrow but decided to nod in the end. This seemingly raised the soldiers and adventurers morale as they cheered, shouting out how they were ready to take revenge on the grimgarians for their fallen comrades. Imdiately, the soldiers offered to show the way, but I told Mother and Neill to go, as my place was sowhere else.
Im a healer, so my place is with the injured. Fill in later, alright? I told Neill and she agreed. She already knew what I was planning to do later, so my input to the strategy was already there. [Oh, and, Ghorush? How did he know I was gone?]
Noticing my telepathic ssage, Neill changed to it, too. [Uhm? Dunno, maybe Jethro? For so reason, the both of them have beco pretty close over these past two days. Dunno why he said that you were gone to so random rcs, though.]
To be honest, from the tis I t him, he really did seem like a loud mouth. Bit belligerent, too. Musclehead. If Jethro were stressed out, he might have revealed sothing and if Ghorush were drunk, it could all happen
Whatever. Not my problem.

My job here was to heal people. As I just learned from the outburst from those adventurers and even the eyes of so of the soldiers, a couple of the people here were my fans. With hope-filled eyes, they cheered when they thought it was ti for the counterattack. I wasnt a hero, but an idol had to do so fan service, right?
As in, healing and saving their lives.
W-Woah, the bleeding stopped! M-My stomach
Ahahaha, thank you! Praise the Goddess and you, blessed! My arm is back on, hahaha!
Honey, youre safe! Thank the Goddess, thank the Light!
It felt good but its also another warning how this wouldnt be the last if I couldnt end this siege soon. My core was back to 100%, so now it was ti to fight. I was still feeling a bit peckish, but it couldnt be helped considering I havent eaten anything for two days in that dinsion breach, and only a bit of rations since we got out. I should eat on the way.
Hmm?
While snacking on so sandwiches from my storage, I looked around the port. It sure was as lively as always, just for the wrong reasons. Soldiers ran around with porters transporting supplies like rations, giant crossbows, and weapons, either towards the port or into the city. The adventurers were heavily split between those enjoying themselves despite all the chaos while others were trying to keep themselves cool and collected.
Honestly reminded of the Griffonpeak battle, with that giant A rank looming over the walls. It did make wonder if my bad encounter luck was starting to seep out, spreading to other people. I ca into this Divine Quest believing I just had to punch so demonkins and rcs, not deal with a whole army.
Haaa, this Woah!
Scatterbrained when a mana cannonball could fly over. Gutsy but expected for a true dragonkin.
I nearly bumped into sobody while thinking about the situation on hand, only to suddenly hear their voice and snap my head around. Not only did he tower over but his fra was bulky from his trained muscles and thick, marine blue armor. Just looking at his scaled, inhuman face, I wouldnt bla anybody for fearing this person.
Chahayat! Fortunately, I knew this caring person already, so I grinned widely. Good to see youre still kicking! You managed to repair your armor and weapons in ti, I see!
He grunted with a nod. You didnt destroy the catalyst inside of the tank. Everything else was replaceable.
He raised his axe and harpoon, two things I had broken in our arena match. I had been planning on destroying his catalyst but now I was happy I hadnt, cause the plan I had in mind needed people like him in action.
Youre fighting?
Elyonda is my base, he replied with as few words as possible. Good to see you back. Heard rumors. Been told to hold back until you returned, but the adventurers didnt believe you would.
Mhmm, sorry about that, but its ti to turn this siege around. I need your help, so would it be okay to lend it?
Of course, Kargryx princess. Your sister has already inquired about it. The depths demand these intruders blood. He offered a fist bump out of nowhere. With a smile, I reciprocated it. The tribe I ntioned is hiding in the arena. Let us clean it up for them.
Chahayat still had sothing to prepare before he could engage. Separating from him, I steeled my resolve one more ti, rembering why I was here. I wasnt here to kill for fun, revenge, or bloodlust, I was here for a reason. I had to end this siege, and if I could get so experience on the way, then even better.
Regardless, as I said, I had to end this siege. That was the real objective.
I t up with Neill and Mother after I cald myself down, where they told they had explained everything to Jethro. Master and the other saurians were currently fighting on the frontlines against the grimgarians navy. Using his unique skill, he was doing his best to defend against the constant bombardnt from hitting the ships and port, but he needed an opening to attack with his party.
This was where I ca in.
Dont worry about the walls. Even if the grimgarians do sothing, we gotta trust in that old man Larent. Sword saint candidate, right? ans a lot, considering the [Sword Saint] title is a pretty powerful buff, I heard, Neill explained. Go. All. Out. Well get Tehmrayn and Kushlekzar to deal with the aftermath.
Are you sure about Tehmrayn? He wont leave the island, and I think thats for the best. We cant underestimate the enemies since we dont know where the demonkins are.
The dude wrath demonkin was probably still alive, although I wasnt sure about the girl. Mother ntioned not having put much weight into her slap, but the girl should have had [Dread Burn] applied to her. Unless she died from her wounds before the status abnormality wore off, we still had a big problem on our hands.
Neill couldnt say anything about that, as nobody had seen the demonkins since then. They probably also have those rcs around. You know, the reason why that male demonkin escaped was cause one of the rcs showed so pretty dangerous skills. Heard hes the skull mask you t during the tournant.
Skull mask? God Yeostar, can you confirm that?
Those bastards, huh? Of course. Then, Eithalr might be here No, focus! Co on, focus. If he appears, then Ill get my revenge, otherwise, I need to focus on breaking this siege.
However, considering what you are planning, we need their help. If the grimgarians break through the naval defenses, that naga will have to deal with all the ships himself. Jethro went over to persuade him. I had Ghorush fortify the harbor, in the anti, Neill tried to reassure . There is a landing party with pretty much a B rank and his C rank goons at the docks, so we need you to wipe out the naval forces. Once they are down, we can clean things up here.
And, if that giant leviathan were to break out, Ill just stop him, Mother added, looking a little peeved. Even now, hes taunting . What a shaless ancient. He really wants to die by my hand, hehehe
Yeah, if the worst were to happen, we could rely on this freebie from Mother. She was really eager to fight that thing for her own benefit, to the point she was spamming [Haste] over and over again to slowly level up her new [Space-Ti Magic] skill after becoming a void-touched. It was still level one, strangely, but I could attribute that to how hard it was to level up in the first place.
Regardless It was ti.
Alright, see you later.
I flew up onto the roof of a nearby building, allowing myself to see the action happening on the seas. Five ships attacked about nine smaller vessels on our side. The sky was orange, it was almost ti for everything to stop, ti for people to take a break. However, before it stopped, the battle was still rampant and chaotic.
I looked down, watching multiple soldiers and adventurers looking up at . Most didnt, as they rushed around the streets in a hurry. Those armored like knights were running along them, shouting out commands of the plans Neill made with Jethro. They were inford the counterattack was about to happen, but while so were motivated, others only seed to be more demoralized.
Alright.

It was just a matter of ti until those who were my fans joined up, having heard sing this song multiple tis during my musical festival. Their chorus amplified the ssage of the song, pushing others up from their seats. Soldiers and Yeosians adventurers saluted, while the others clapped along.
Will you join in our chorus
And make your life clear to hear
The sa with the epics of the Knight
That we feel safe under his watch
So live up to your own songs

Woooooooo!
For Yeostar! For the God of Knights! Our swords are yours, blessed!
For Yeos! For Prince Markval! For the brilliance of the Goddess!
The knights were naturally drawn to the values and virtues this song was promoting, to the point the few knights and warrior priests in this camp drew their weapons and raised them into the skies. Seeing them all motivated and saluting, the soldiers and adventurers were rallying as well, although there were still so party poopers around.
With my duty here done, it was ti to reveal myself to the enemy that the dragon idol was here to fight for Elyonda!
Humanize!
Kraaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I roared! At the sa ti, I continued playing the song through my [Aerokinesis].

Any surprise the soldiers felt vanished as the song continued and I flew up to the sky. At the sa ti, I saw Neill take her place while the knights and other leaders reorganized the platoons for the upcoming battle.

[Various Spell Buffs] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]
I blasted myself up with all my buffs up, overwatching the naval battle underneath . I focused my eyes, noticing only four of the five B ranks commanding the ships. Three were high orcs and one was a troll. Well equipped, competent, and exuding tension as they ordered the grimgarians on the ships without hesitation, using the montum of the battle to motivate everybody.
However, what was more terrifying about this force was the fact I could see rfiends and also so giant snake-like monsters fighting alongside them. After appraising them, I learned they were sea serpents, the lesser dragonkin version of the leviathans, the water equivalent of the wyverns. Not only did they manage to ta these things to fight with them, each of the five ships seed to have a personal mana shield and manatech weaponry, as the soldier from before ntioned.
Tasianna and the twins should be safe. They would have disappeared as my followers if they had died. If they hadnt returned yet nor were they prisoners of these grimgarians, then they should have managed to rescue the Caedhulens. Good.
On the other hand, our side was not doing as well. Master and the saurians were doing their best on the leading ship, the only real warship Elyonda had in this fight, but they were completely focused on defending everybody from the shot and sea serpents. This left the remaining eight smaller vessels to fend for themselves, not including the invasion forces already at the docks, engaging the soldiers and adventurers. The last B rank, a high ogre, was being stopped there by Ghorush.
Luckily, it seed the knights commanding these groups were all for show. The ships moved fast, supporting Masters ship despite their far inferior weaponry and ships. All their shots were blocked by the grimgarians mana shields, but they didnt give up. The docks also didnt look too bad, despite the invasion forces.
Yeoss pride are their knights, after all. Even in the arena, they didnt disappoint too much.
Okay, lets do this but
KRAAAAAAH! I roared with [Draconic Roar] at the waters underneath , blasting up fountain-worth of water into the air, stunning each sides leaders. The fighting stopped for a mont.
[This is Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor of the Dragon Empire Kargryx! I am the only idol of Aurena, a blessed of the Light Pantheon! Children of God Marsven and Goddess Edna, Descendants of Goddess Kronnaz! Invaders of Yeosian soil and waters, this is my first and only warning to you! Retreat, and never co back with swords and blood on hand!]
I gave them an ultimatum, before turning my eyes at the sea serpents and exuding my [Draconic Aura]. Even from up here, those dragonkins noticed it imdiately and froze up.
[Begone.]
Krrrruuieq!!!
Noticing I was a dragon, they didnt even try to act tough and escaped, leaving their kobold tars stranded in the waters. Sadly, the rfiends werent as naturally intimidated by dragons, so they just stood still in fear.
With my demands issued, I urged the grimgarians to answer. [Now, what is your answer, children of the Goddess of Vengeance? Make it quick!]
Diplomacy over violence, even if the battle had already begun. I understood I was acting naively here, but the plan was to break the siege, not win it. This way, I would preserve the most lives. I wasnt a reaper in personality, and if I could solve this peacefully, I would like to pursue it.
However
Theyre stalling. The ship in the back is preparing a narrow, long-barreled cannon. Fire? Manager Mind inford , confirming my suspicion.
I tried and offered.
Kill them all. Purple Flash! Cyclone Madness!
Paying for triple the normal amount of mana for a single spell, [Purple Flash] allowed to instantly materialize a giant tornado right in the middle of the ships, disorientating the enemy in the process. If they had their mana barriers protecting them, then why attack to break it if I could just crowd control them?
Now It's ti for a song.
[In my purgatory, I make the devil cry
In Hellfire
All you hear are his screams, begging to be released
Its Music ]
Pumped up the volu to the extre, [Dragon Fire] could be heard by everybody in the vicinity, even piercing through the sound of the natural disaster happening below. I wasnt a reaper, but songs werent only there to soothe a persons soul they could also be used to herald doom upon the world. At least, when it ca from demons or angels.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Light to darkness, ice to flas.
Level eight [Sacred Magic] spell:
Purple Flash.
Urgh!
[Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]s solar core status: [57%]
[Purple Flash] into [Heavens Sword] drained up 35% of my current mana pool just like that, while [Cyclone Madness] only took up 5%. The conversion rate of solar power into mana wasnt one-to-one, sadly. As expected from a level eight advanced magic spell, it better pay back with the corresponding power!
Above the clouds, a giant white magic circle around the size of [Omnictus] materialized, conjuring from it a yellow translucent arm of a slim woman. As it held its hand up, light gathered around it until it reached the length of a skyscraper. To all the people below, this thing was probably gigantic. However, to , it was the proper punishnt for trying to wage a war under my supervision.
If the grimgarians wanted war, then I shall deliver it to them! If a war could be turned around with so-called strategic combatants, then I shall be the one they needed! A mage to turn around this whole siege!
Heavens SWORD!
The female arm of light held the blade in a reverse grip before it swung it down, piercing and dividing the clouds before it destroyed the [Cyclone Madness] below. The pressure of this gigantic mass of mana was too strong for anything else but that wasnt all I had.
Remix. Remixing a song was my answer to how to update my songs.
[I descend on Earth with Wings of Death!
A Storm of Fury
Creating Ash and Dust
I am the Incarnation of the Sun
I shine so brightly, I bring your death
My lineage belongs to the God of Dragons! ]
Different ways to vocalize the lyrics, more emphasized in one word, less in others. Even the way I played the instrunts could be attributed to a different interpretation. Like modernizing an old song.
For example, the previous [Dragon Fire] was focused on its guitar and drums, putting more focus on its symphonic tal rock identity, to make appear as the devastating and unstoppable boss monster; however, what would happen if I were to replace everything with violins, trumpets, and pianos?
Instead of making seem like an important but mid-range boss, what if I elevated it into the grandness of orchestra music? Instead of focusing only on myself, what if I gave this song an almost worldly feeling, as if the whole world was looking at this battle? A music fit for the heavens, fit for the end boss!
[Despair, color the sky crimson!
Earth scorched by rain of undying flas
Hope born from misery!
Quash it all, you are facing ! ]
Your brilliance is radiating on the world! Remixing of song is finished. [Dragon Fire] has been updated to fit its new thes and images. You have created a new function for your idol system, unlocking the remix function
As the sword of heaven was about to descend, a ball of fire surrounded and, hopefully, also everybody else in the vicinity. What Master said was correct, I had accidentally given [My Darkest Thoughts] and [The Heir of Light] power from [The Light]. As such, I should probably use my position as a usurper to good use.
And for my first test, I shall use Shiternos gift.
Kiiiiiiiraaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Scorch the skies!
Mana was drained for to be gathered up in the air, transforming themselves into the form of an infernal dragon! Although, shorter than the [Heavens Sword], it wasnt by a mile. This golem-like depiction of a giant dragon flew down onto the world, aiming for the destruction of my enemies like a teor.
I shot out my scales, having them cover up the fla dragon as much as I could without overusing my scales. Its form made clear, this beast could be seen as another monster by everybody else.
My plan to create a teor never died! Although just a bluff against the demonkins in Estralia, after how Mother showed how she combined her scales with her spells, I just had to do the sa. So, what would happen if you duct tape so scales with the sa properties as gunpowder on a teor?
Overkill.
Eliminate all of them! Heavens Sword and Dragon Fire!
First, the sword. The sea was cleaved as the blades impact caused everything around it to be launched upwards, which included the ships and their crew. From here, I could see the vessels breaking apart and hundreds or maybe a thousand grimgarians falling in a world where they couldnt tell up from down. A tsunami higher than the port hid everything from their eyes.
Then to end it all, the fire dragon roared again. I had to stand in place and sing this song myself without [Aerokinesis]s help outside of the instrunts. However, the result spoke for itself. The mont this thing collided with the enemies, a massive nuclear kaboom erupted in this short vicinity.
Dragon Fire
A song created by the Idol [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]. Through the image of becoming the peak of challenge and opposition, becoming a power to burn down even the heavens if needed, this song will herald ultimate destruction in the form of a dragon. Through the power of song and fire, a giant golem of fire in the form of a dragon shall descend onto the world, burning anything like a God of Fire as long as mana is provided. Can only be activated while the idol is singing the song in one place. All allies affected by [Music Resonation] will receive these effects: A barrier of fire providing perfect immunity against all fire, magma, and heat-based attacks coming from the idol. All enemies affected by [Music Resonation] will receive these effects: Receive 10% more damage from all fire and dragon attacks and abilities. All entities affected by [Music Resonation] will receive these effects: All water spells and abilities will lose 50% of their effectiveness. All ice spells and abilities will lose 50% of their effectiveness
I couldnt form an arena anymore, but that part was now taken over by my Territory [Magmakamr] anyways. After all, every fire-based boss should be able to shower down a teor rain, right? Why trap enemies, when I can just vaporize all of them?
Even better, only my enemies would be affected by this fla! Since Shiternos blessing [Divine Inferno] gave immunity to my own fire spells, so I shall share its effect with everybody with my song! Just so I could give the most brilliant show ever!
[Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]s solar core status: [0%]
Urgh!
In the face of the world around them grimgarian ships turning completely red and filled with steam, I clutched my chest as I felt the rebound of using up the remainder of my solar energy just to fuel this, and still I used up 40% more of my mana! This nuclear option alone drained to the point I had to rest up.
However, oh, the rewards
Experience has reached multiple breaking points. [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor] has risen from [Level 19] to [Level 23]
Attributes have increased due to level up
Acquired 2250 skill points
I lost strength in my wings for a mont, stopping the song as I cald down my body from using such a large amount of mana in the span of what felt like a couple of minutes or so. What was it, again? 75% of my mana from a [Purple Flash]ed [Heavens Sword] and [Dragon Fire]? Holy smokes. My solar energy was trying to recover as quickly as possible, but this just knocked out of the battle in one go.
Argh, thank goodness for the level up!
The power of leveling up. If I hadnt gotten a single level, I would have complained like a kid. I still felt tired, but at least my Mana was back to full. Easy gamble.
Once I got my bearings, I looked down. I made sure to not let it affect the port or the other ships, but the water around the grimgarian ships was just gone after the steam dissipated. The sea around it quickly rushed in to fill it up, but at the sa ti, tsunamis had risen and were endangering the harbor, the ships, and the island. This was the aftermath I was talking about.
As such
6 kirin-dragon and saurian have beco your followers
Total follower count updated. Total followers of [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]:14709
What? Kirin-dragon and saurian? But, arent the only they
However, before I could finish forming that thought, I saw the tsunamis suddenly being pushed back. Two giant dinosaurs suddenly appeared around the ships and harbor, protecting them, while the waves directed at the other island just stopped and slowly shrank.
I knew the dinosaurs were created by Masters unique skill, but what was surprising to was how I saw a single person looming over at the beach of the island. Looking closer, I actually saw that naga champion, Tehmrayn over there! With a movent of his trident, the tsunami directed at the island slowly beca smaller and smaller, returning into the sea to fill up the area I blew up.
Jeez, thats som Urk!
Kring!
That noise!
Uuuuh, yo, Original Mind, we got a problem here. Looks like our core just got a small crack.
Are you kidding ?
Hadnt I just regrown this stupid thing about two weeks ago? Why did it get a bloody crack again? Not only that, but it wasnt cause of overloading myself with heat from [Solar Beam] or [Symphonie des Feuergottes], but from just using up two pretty large spells Now that I thought about it, didnt I just empty it out in a few minutes? I guess, I placed a large amount of stress on it anyways, so the thods didnt really matter.
Well, I wasnt feeling lightheaded, so arcane corruption probably was still low. Nevertheless, even if I knew I could fully recover my mana through a level up, maybe I underestimated how much using up 75% of my mana at once would put a considerable strain on my body. As I said before, what I did was just overkill. For the future, I should try to minimize the mana cost and also maybe cast this as a dragonewt, so I could use my mana cost-reducing catalyst.
Okay, this is done. Lets get so rest befo
Nooooooo!
Arghk, co on, I ju
Uuuuuurghk!
That voice just ca from the island! Was the universe trying to overwork here, why did this have to happen?! Tehmrayn, being on the island himself, probably heard that scream and rushed towards it, but I was a mile or whatever away! Did I have to go rush off Oh, what was I complaining about!? Of course, I had to!
Leaving the rest behind, I blasted my way over to the island. Not knowing exactly what would happen, I remained in my dragon form and delved deeper into the island as Yeostar instructed . However, at the sa ti, my eyes wandered around as I not only noticed dead warrior priests but also what looked like earth statues broken earth statues.
Never mind, gotta hurry! Sothing happened here. How did these priests die?!
They were all dead. Either crushed by these weird animalistic earth statues or decapitated by one clean slash. What the hell happened here while I was dropping that nuke on those grimgarians?!
The deeper I went, the more unnerving it got. Destroyed defenses, fields filled with dead priests and shattered earth constructs. How did this happen? Why was there a battlefield here of all places?! The fight should have been at the seas, and if that failed
No way, did a small elite troupe get past the defenses? During the ti Tehmrayn was away from the center to prevent my attack?
How did they predict I would do that?! Impossible, no way sothing like that could be anticipated. It could only be leaked.
Tsk how?
How? Why, with support, of course, dear Champion. This is our specialty.
I passed through the barrier of the island shrine, where Karhalantheels seal was located. There, I saw Tehmrayn facing off against not only those monster-like earth statues but also a group of skull mask assailants. But, more shocking, were the two people looming behind Jethros fallen body.
One was a skull mask with a pretty conspicuously long coat holding onto a dagger. Knives were floating around him, as if he was a psychic, and from how many horns and decorations his mask had, I presud he was the leader and that seventh boss of Yanderu Eluseuss. While I was sure to think of him as my primary target, what caught my attention more was the person next to him.
B-But, how? You were just at the harbor?! How did you make it here before ?!
[Ghorush?!]
Ah! Dear girl! What a fine showing of supre arcane magicks! As one mage to another, I salute and bow my head to you, Your Grace. Sothing a half-fraud mage like can never achieve with this mana-stunted body.
Instead of his poorly-maintained armor and two-handed axe, the leonid I saw in front of was wearing a perfectly-fitting suit with a top hat. He bowed with it, showing off his well-grood mane and hair, before standing upright and holding his rapier up in a noble posture.
I dare say, it was just as our employer ntioned, you certainly are dangerous. Sadly for you, however, your arrival was a bit too late.
He snapped his fingers and an explosion happened at the back of the shrine. In the next mont, the ground beneath shook.
Hostile Territory detected! [The Krakenlords Graveyard] has been activated!
A note from AbyssRaven
Reminder: When you reject a peaceful retreat offer from Hestia, she will go nuclear on you. She will drop a fla teor on you.
Also, just to ask, how do you guys think i did the Ghorush betrayal? Too obvious, not enough foreshadowing, just plain bad? Or was it good enough? Feedback would be nice.
