"I wasn"t going to, my lord," He said as Miia and Gold entered a store, "I"ll wait here."Gold and Miia walked up to the counter. Gold tapped on it and the store clerk, walked from the back of the store to behind the counter, "I would like some equipment for travelling, like a sleeping bag and a tent maybe."
"Of course, just one?" Gold nodded, "May I ask where are you going?"
"To the Ojami town, by the sea."
"Ah, do you have a map?" Gold nodded, "Okay, here you go, a sleeping bag and a tent, may I ask why?"
"Looking for someone," Gold explained as he placed a silver coin on the counter, "How much was it?"
"5 bronze."
"Keep the change," Gold picked up the tent and the sleeping bag, "Have a good day," Miia and Gold walked out with the tent and the sleeping bag, "Let"s get going, D. B., we have a few days of walking, and we can"t exactly get a carriage, you would really fit in it and we don"t have much to carry."
They were walking down the unshaded path. The sun was already starting to set. Miia walked on her hands and knees once again and the ground trembled with each step that D. B. took. The sun made his sh.e.l.l shine brightly blinding Gold went he looked backwards.
"D. B., do you know where the others are?"
"No, my lord, I was separated from Nikholas a few years ago when the Legion of Solar captured me, I might be a Diamyo Brute but with anti-magic, I can"t summon my guardian axe, so I can"t really fight well," D. B. explained, "I only know that Nikholas and I were separated a few years back and nothing else."
"You were with Nikholas?" Miia asked, "How did you guys find each other?"
"Um, well, a rogue demon tribe attack my tribe and killed most of them," He began explaining, "I was the last one standing against a hundred demons, warrior demons, but something called my attention, something behind me, I turned and saw a well-dressed demon walking towards me and he presented himself to me as Nikholas and so I recognized him, I helped them defeat the rogue demons and send them back to h.e.l.l, and so I helped him rebuild a sanctuary."
"For who?" Gold asked as they stopped walking, "Let"s set camp here, the nightfall is coming."
"For someone he called Gold, my lord, do you know who that is?"
"I use the name Gold," Gold said as he set up the tent, "So he was building something for me? Huh, weird of him, I would a.s.sume he would use lesser demons to do so," He turned to Miia, "Sit down, I"ll make the fire, Tier 6, cast Shift Environment," A small circle of stone rose out of the ground, "Tier 4, cast Wall of Flames," A small fire lit in the center of the circle of stones, "So tell me, do you know why he was doing that? Or did you just listen to him because he saved you?"
"Option 2, my lord, I wouldn"t be here if he hadn"t appeared and helped me, I would have joined my tribe in your father"s realm," He said as he spread his wings, and created a ma.s.sive buzzing, "But I don"t know what happened to that place, the Legion of Solar took over it when Nikholas was back in h.e.l.l with his demons, I was on guard but you know me, my lord, with mages, I am useless, so I was captured," He closed his wings and sat down, "But what did you do to them, my lord? I heard them talk about you as the masked man from the Baldur town, what happened?"
"I got rid of their p.a.w.n, Aegis, who took control, more or less, of the town and was taxing the people, so I did the good thing and saved them," He noticed Miia looking down and a tear came to her eye, "Miia is sad because they hurt me, you remember how she was?" He nodded, "She is still the same."
"My lord, why do you wear a mask?"
"I am Overlord, I need to gain the people"s support without presenting myself as Overlord, that is what my father told me to do, so he gave me this mask," He removed the mask, "I am still the same under the mask."
"I can see, my lord."
"Master, can we eat?" Miia asked as she grabbed the bag of food, and placed two small metal stands on each side of the fire. She pulled out a small cloth wrapped bars of skewered meat, she placed it over the fire and began cooking, "I am hungry, master."
"Go ahead," He said as he leaned back on the floor, "D. B., did Nikholas talk about Camille?"
"No, my lord, he only talked about you, as Gold and about how we needed to build this place for him so that when he did find us, we could give you a place to stay in this realm," He explained, Miia gestured at D. B. towards the meat she was cooking, "No thanks, Miia, I don"t need to eat food, I get energy from water and sun," She shrugged and handed a bar to Gold, "How long have you been in Goldema, my lord?"
"A few winters, this body is only 10 years old, but my father increased my growth rate, so it is as if I am 22 years old," He said as she began eating, "We should eat quickly and get to sleep, Ojami is half a day of walking away, D. B., why do you never use your wings? I never asked."
"These wings are useful, my lord, but only for smaller Diamyos, not brutes, they beat strong enough to lift us, but I am too heavy for them, so I only use them as intimidation," He said as Gold continued eating, "I am glad to be free."
"Free?"
"Free from those weaklings, if I could resist magic, I could easily destroy them, that is why Camille and I fought together, she could give me Celestial Veil and reduce my weakness, my lord."
"I see," Gold yawned as he finished eating, "I think I am going to sleep, join me whenever you want, Miia," D. B. tilted his head and looked at Miia after Gold removed his robes and went into the tent. She had wide eyes and blushed.
"Miia, care to explain?"
"Um, it"s not what you think," Miia stammered, "Um, well, I sleep with him, to-,"
"He gave into you? After all this resistance?"

"No, no, no! That isn"t what I said, I said that I sleep with him so that my body heat stays high."
"I have a feeling that it an excuse for say that you have s.e.x with him," D. B. said, "I really don"t care about that, it just might annoy Camille, if we ever find her, she was in love with him as well."
"I haven"t had s.e.x with him! I am serious, I am cold-blooded, I need to stay warm, so he keeps me warm, that isn"t an excuse, I don"t sleep with him in that sense, I only need his heat," She hissed as her claws and scales gained a silver color, "I might love him but I haven"t had s.e.x with him."
"Calm down, Miia," He said as his double-edged, two-handed axe appeared in his hands, "I am built for war, not you, you are weak compared to me."
"Say that again, I dare you," She hissed, "I already beat you before."
"I disagree, I beat you every time we fought, without even using my berserk magic," He got up and spun his axe around him, "My sh.e.l.l deflects your claws, and my shear force would send you flying, if you really want to fight, I can carry you tomorrow," She leaped at him and he swatted her out of the air with his hand, "Please, only Nikholas and our lord can beat me," She got up and raise her left eyebrow, "Camille doesn"t know offensive magic," Miia leaped once more and D. B. lowered his body and slammed his shoulder into her, at an angle she couldn"t dodge, sending her crashing to the floor. She got up and ran towards him. He spun his axe and swung it towards her. She rolled to the side and lunged forwards bringing her claws at his shoulder, they bounced off and she fell, unbalanced to the floor, "I am built for war and opponents my size and you are built for smaller, weaker opponents that you can slash through and kill, something that I can"t do well," She hissed and leaped at him again. He brought his axe down towards her and she spun in the air and dodged the axe and placed her feet on his chest and spun her heel into the side of his head. The kick turned his head and his eyes became red with rage. He grit his teeth and grabbed his axe with both hands. He moved towards Miia and swung the axe at her.
"Super Tier, cast Perfect Warrior," And the axe suddenly stopped, "D. B., Stop, your lord tells you to, do you want to kill Miia?"
"M-my lord," He said as the axe disappeared, "What is with the armor? And the blade? And the shield? And the strength?"
"Enough fighting you two, Miia, get into the tent, you are crazy, you activated his Berserk, he would have killed you if I didn"t hear you two," He snapped as her scales and claws regained their regular color and she crawled shamefully into the tent, his armor faded and he was left in his pants he had for sleeping, "And Daryu Boros, I already told you not to enable Berserk, only when you fight against a reasonable enemy can you enable it, and not when you are fighting against one of my servants, you need to remember discipline, you have to listen to me now, not be a wild Diamyo like you were, am I understood?"
"Yes, my lord," He said as he sat down by the fire, "I will stand guard, is that fine?"
"Of course," Gold said as he crawled into the tent, "Oh, and Miia sleeps with me for heat, I haven"t given into her, just so that is clear, I was listening."
"What business do you have with this town?" A guard called.
"I am here to ask questions to your leader! About a man who came here a few days ago!"
"Bring her to the leader!"
"So, you talk about Gold?" Katie sighed, "Leave us," The guards left the room, "What do you want for him? He left two days ago," She turned around and leaned her hands on the table, "What could you possibly want with him?"
"I am looking for him, I need to tell him something important."
"Can I ask?"
"I don"t really want to tell you, I wanted to know where he went."
"Why not? Are you his lover?"
"No, I just need to know where he went, do you know?"
"Yes, I do, do you want him harm?"
"Do I look like I could do anything to him? He is a powerful magic caster, I am but a travel companion, I used to be in his party."
"If you say so, he left in direction of Yin, in the north."
"Thank you, I will be leaving now, thank you, here," She handed her a bronze coin, Katie shook her head and pushed it back.
"Don"t remind me of him, just leave," Clover hesitated, "Leave! Now!"
