"I see, and who is it that is responsible for Beta"s doom?"
Yel stopped walking and so did the rest of the group as they waited for Yel to answer Mars" question which she did a few moments later with hate clear in her eyes
"it was the earthen tribe along with the tribe of men"
"I see so the humans and the dwarves..."
"dwarves?"
"oh sorry you call them the earthen tribe right?"
"still... dwarves, master has a rather good naming sense"
Mars was about to tell Yel that he was not the one that came up with that name but didn"t bother in the end and just kept quiet while Yel admired him for some time until she asked
"you"re not going to ask how they did it?"
"did what?"
"....ruin our old world"
"oh that... I think I have a pretty good idea already, they found a way burn odd for unlimited energy right?"
Yel stopped walking and narrowed her eyes before she asked
"...how did you know?"
"well it simple if you have the knowledge I do... that said I know better and have not attempted to carry out the princ.i.p.al"
"I see... that"s good..."
Yel looked a little to relieved so Mars asked to confirm his suspicions
"what if I had carried out experiments?"
"then I would have given my all to kill you at once"
"I see... then I guess the ones that made the device to burn mana have already been killed and any knowledge about the device have been destroyed?"
"yes it is as you say..."
"well I guess that"s fair... seeing as it destroyed your world"
"I"m glad you agree master"
Turning time back a bit to the day before landfall Hel was standing on the deck of the s.h.i.+p with soldiers watching her from afar, now it was not because she was a beauty (despite her facial scars) that the soldiers were watching her it was because of an incident that happened right after she had arrived in the port city, a minister had touched her shoulder and Hel had responded by instantly turning him to mush with her [Gravity control] skill, this not only caused the other ministers to grow fearful of her but it also caused the generals to see her as a valuable military a.s.set despite her obvious metal problems and so in the end she was sent off towards the Kafer continent despite her having turned a minister into mush
"ah... I wish darling could see this scene..."
Hel stood and watched the sea with an absent mind when suddenly a low ranking soldier called out to her
"miss Hel, we have incoming"
Hel half wanted to crush the soldier for talking to her but knew keeping the soldiers alive increased her changes of successfully completing the task Information had a.s.signed her and thereby bringing back her darling to life
"I got it..."
Hel began floating and tuned to the front of the s.h.i.+p where she saw a few enemy s.h.i.+ps approaching and flew off towards the s.h.i.+ps while activating her [Gravity control] to make a repulsive field around her to protect her from the arrows and spells that already flew towards her from the enemy s.h.i.+ps, without even looking at the people down on the s.h.i.+ps she raised her hand and brought it down again along with a giant wave of increased gravity that crushed the first s.h.i.+p into tiny pieces of driftwood in a matter of seconds before she turned to the second as she let out a yawn and crushed it with another gravity wave, then she looked over at the 3rd and final enemy s.h.i.+p and effortlessly crushed it and the people on board with another gravity wave before she floated down on the s.h.i.+p again and looked out over the sea absent minded like before...At Daniel"s side the things were not so tense, he had mingled with the ministers and gotten on their good side (unlike Mars and Hel) so when he set off by s.h.i.+p he was spending his time chatting with the soldiers and sailors on board the s.h.i.+p, overall it was some pleasant conversations with lots of laughs and happy moments as Daniel shared some of his stories, that was until a sailor rushed over and reported
"sir Daniel we have incoming s.h.i.+ps"
"oh... don"t worry lads, I"ll be right back"
Daniel began floating and flew off towards the enemy s.h.i.+ps, there was 3 in total, on the way there he unsheathed his sword which glimmered with a dull red s.h.i.+ne as the blade was made of adamant.i.te, while defecting the occasional arrow and spell Daniel arrived in the s.p.a.ce between the 3 s.h.i.+ps and suddenly yelled out
"suffer!"
as soon as he yelled the people on the s.h.i.+ps suddenly began screaming as blood purred out of all their orifices and collapsed on the spot, a few of them twitched a couple times but they were all dead as rocks, Daniel gave a small smile before he returned to the s.h.i.+p and continued chatting with the sailors and soldiers...
"they sure make easy targets..."
Terry stood on the front end of the s.h.i.+p and fired off energy arrow after energy arrow towards the horizon while the soldiers and sailors on board had no idea what he was firing and so eventually the general made his way up to the front end of the s.h.i.+p and asked Terry about it to which he answered
"the enemy of course, they looked like they were preparing some sort of spell so I interrupted them, then they began charging out of the city towards us so I shot them down on by one"
the general gave a nod, he didn"t dare underestimate the young man in front of him, Terry looked to the front again and fired off one final arrow before he spoke to the general
"please tell the s.h.i.+ps to speed up, I have just captured one of them for questioning... it would be a shame if they bleed out before we arrived"
"yes at once sir Terry!"
the general ran off meanwhile Terry looked to the front of the s.h.i.+p again, it was unknown what he was looking at this time...
On Tatiana"s side things were pretty much the same, the s.h.i.+ps they were sailing in were unknowingly headed towards a ambush set by sky people, but there was one thing the sky people didn"t know and that was using magic in front of Tatiana was suicide, so when they started to prepare the spell Tatiana knew at once and waved her hand as the spell instantly completed and descended upon the sky people instead of their intended target...
Back at Mars" side a few days had pa.s.sed uneventfully and right now they were about to arrive at the sky people"s territory, Yel looked somewhat tense but Mars and the girls were relaxed and flirted while they walked at a leisurely pace, they were currently walking on a dirt road that went through a plain, suddenly Mars looked to the front, in the distance he spotted a group of sky people flying their way with weapons ready, how they had been detected Mars didn"t care, now that they were he just looked over at Yel and said
"here they come"
"...yes master, I will stop them"
Yel took flight and flew towards the sky people while Mars and the girls waited on the ground, after flying for a few moments Yel stopped and waited for them to arrive which they did a few moments later, Yel widened her eyes slightly when she saw her younger sister among the patrol but remained silent as others among the patrol recognised her and called out
"Yel it"s you... where is the rest of the 112th Valkyries?"
"they have gone to the wheel"
the sky people in the patrol looked sad for a moment before they smiled as the one form before asked
"did they have a glorious end?"
Yel gave a nod with a slight smile
"that they did.... they died to my master"
Yel"s little sister spoke up with amazement on her face
"sis you have a master!?"
the other sky people also looked amazed, one of them spoke up
"they must be some warrior... I would very much like to exchange pointers with them"
"hey me too!"
Yel gave a smile, having a strong master was a servants pride
"come I"ll introduce you to my master"
Yel flew down and kneeled in front of Mars while the other sky people followed and landed behind her
"master I have completed my task"
Mars spoke out with a smile on his face
"well done Yel"
the sky people behind Yel looked at Mars with inspecting looks on their faces until one of them stepped forwards Mars looked at her, she looked like Yel only younger in other words she was beauty after she locked eyes with Mars she spoke up
"my name is Mel, I am Yel sister"
Mars gave a nod
"I am Mars, the current living G.o.d of energy and also Yel"s master"
"a living G.o.d?"
Yel spoke up
"yes, master is indeed a living G.o.d"
Mel looked surprised and looked form Yel to Mars a few times before she regained her composure and spoke again
"be that as it may... as a member of Yel" family I will have to make sure Yel"s new master is strong enough to be her master... thus I challenge you to a duel Mars! do you accept?"
Mars showed a confident smile and shrugged his shoulders
"sure, why not"
