BXBX NOVEL Chapter 716 The End Of The Battle
Before the Spear could disappear, all of its radiant divine light consumed the chimera once and for all, a mighty Level 250 Monster… thing, was finally defeated by us, who weren\'t even Level 180 yet!
FLAAAAAASSSSHH!!!
A blinding light covered it all, forcing us to step back as the monster completely disintegrated. The Domain where it had trapped everyone was also slowly disappearing!
We quickly turned back to normal before we were to make some fuss in the city, making sure that Ambil was alive, although unconscious, grabbing him and running back to his home!
"Hahh… W-We did it, somehow…" I sighed in relief, already inside the forge.
"That was… really intense! Where the heck did these guys came from?!" Rita asked angrily. "Well, it\'s a relief those little guys died too with the boss, but still…"
"They were most likely part of the Cult." Mark pointed out. "But the strange part is that he said they weren\'t serving anybody anymore?"
"Yet they somehow still have the powers the Demon King of Miasma granted to them!" Acorn wondered. "Strange, where are they getting this power, which should had been mostly vanished by now?"
"The worst part is that they\'re fusing it with Nether. The Demon King of Death, Thanatos, is working with them! That damned pile of bones!" Brisingra was really furious about this entire revelation, after her nation was almost destroyed by his machinations, he was her entire kingdom\'s sworn enemy.
"Yeah, it\'s a lot to process, hahaha…" Lily laughed slightly nervously, sitting over a wooden chair. "Ugh, but I\'m a bit tired myself… Ambil\'s alright?"
"Yeah, he\'s fast asleep though." I said, as I left him over his bed in the adjacent room, which was quite messy. "He must have fallen unconscious when everything happened, he\'s certainly not built for this…"
"Why did they wanted him… dead or captured?" Wondered Mark. "Could it be that they think he\'s the key to open the forge, assuming they know about that too…"
"Most likely they\'ll keep trying to come and capture him or kill him, either of the two, we can\'t allow that to happen, even less when we can\'t be around." I said. "Ugh, this is complicated."
Mark sat down at my side and gently patted my shoulders, Rita sat at my other side, doing the same thing… I guess they were trying to calm me down a bit, I was still quite nervous.
"Thanks… I guess I\'m still a bit nervous." I sighed. "A-Anyways, good thing we managed to fend off that… guy? Monster? Thing? Whatever he was. I bet there\'ll be more of them."
"I don\'t think they will be too common though!" Acorn said. "I remember checking his body when he revealed it, it was a very intricately built chimera… It would take days to create. The cult probably has a few more, but they\'re not so many as to throw them away constantly. If they lost one, they could probably attempt to try again in another time."
"You should go rest calmly, my lady. We will protect Ambil here, he already agreed on us staying in his house, and there are a few guest rooms too." Nieve smiled. "We\'re strong, you don\'t have to worry, right?"
"Yeah, I am willing to protect mister Ambil. Despite him being a bit of an asshole, he\'s a hardworking man, someone I\'ve grown to slightly admire on his craft." Brisingra smiled. "I will protect him with my life, and these new magic powers I\'ve awakened thanks to mother\'s ring."
"You guys are so reliable… I should had summoned my Familiars beforehand!" I facepalmed. "Well, Rita and my Familiars will stay in here too. Rita, can you put my familiars inside some shadows or something?"
"Sure, shouldn\'t be so hard." She said. "They\'re too huge for the capital, I get that." She quickly started to transfer them into Nieve, Acorn, Brisingra, and Ambil\'s shadows as I summoned them.
"We\'ve defeated him but we can\'t get any clues aside from what we saw. Where could they be hiding anyways?" Wondered Mark. "And there\'s no quest popping up or anything either, this was completely unexpected."
"I think I could find out some clues later, with my new Skills…" I said. "Let\'s say I can… more or less talk with the land now. And maybe I could try doing something else I have on mind…"
"Something else? Why so mysterious?" Rita wondered, smiling teasingly.
"I-It\'s a secret I\'ll reveal later!" I said with a giggle. "Heheh, you\'ll have to just sit and wait for it!"
"Okay, sure~" Rita laughed, hugging me. "Are you alright now bestie?"
"I\'m fine, I\'ve calmed down." I smiled, giving her a kiss in her forehead. "Thanks for being at my side."
"Hey why are you kissing me like that now?! Won\'t your boyfriend get jealous?" She laughed, teasing Mark.
"I-I would never, you two are friends…" He said slightly embarrassed. "But anyways, we should probably log-off for now- Ah, right! We should probably notify what happened to the other group, led by Angelina!"
"Come to think of it, where are they? Didn\'t we agree on meeting in here?" Asked Acorn.
Knock, knock.
Suddenly I heard the door knocking, as I sensed several familiar presences that had just arrived. I rushed to open the door, finding Angelina and her entire crew, covered on bruises, wounds, and bandages.
"Angelina! What happened?!" I asked desperately.
"Ugh… We had… a little encounter with a rather strong guy." She laughed. "But we\'re fine… Mostly."
"We\'re not fine at all nyah! My HP is constantly dropping and the potions aren\'t doing a thing! Planta can you heal us?!" Anikitty ran to my side. "Pretty please! I-I\'ll even pay you a bit!"
"Why should you pay for healing?" I sighed. "I\'ll heal all of you, so stand still… Seems like you guys fought the same guy we did, your wounds are infected with Miasma and Nether!"
"Indeed they are, I\'m afraid I couldn\'t have been of much help myself…" Sighed the little skeleton merchant.
"It\'s fine, you did what you could do, little guy." Erdrich laughed. "But if we encountered the same type of person, then we\'ve got a lot to talk…"
"Indeed… Shall we discuss things with some tea?" Gandalf offered.
"I guess we don\'t have much of an option." I nodded.
