13th day of prophecy, location and time unknown.

The world became a blur of pain and incomprehensible twisting after activating the large war machine; you’ve dipped into the very last part of your magical reserve to create your only mean of escape but your body is rapidly approaching its breaking point. Getting shot in the shoulder by a crossbow probably tipped the balance and your consciousness became unstable after the dwarf awakening. The movement of the machine were wild and strong, sliding your body on the small surface of the cockpit as you clutched your head one handed, the added nausea increasing you’re feeling of complete disorientation, drinking two stimulants in short notice also caused some palpitations…

Add some battle fatigue into the mix and the only thing keeping you from breaking in a panic as you feel death encroaching on your measly form was undoubtedly the Soul Link, you concentrate wholly on keeping up your mental defense from the Beast movements, your current state obviously a golden opportunity for its untrustworthy maliciousness, you couldn’t direct Arnvidur in anyway but the battle machine seemed able of some independent thoughts and the honest to goodness worry from Emeth, coupled with Athena, Sylphis and Hadraniel support, kept the Beast at bay. The barrier separating your souls held fast while the battlefield grew chaotic and bloody, Arnvidur tapped into your origin to create oversized weapons and clear the way all the way to the circle of teleportation.

That’s about where your memories stop; you remember a strong, potent wave of Holy energy exploding under you like some kind of bomb, which in turn activated the circle and with teleportation, come an inevitable sense of vertigo and disorientation that was more than enough to send you over the edge in blissful unconsciousness.

>’’You’re going to die at this rate’’

…

This voice, previously, this ‘’other one’’ using you as a vessel had a clearly inhuman voice akin to several people – female and males- speaking together in perfect harmony but here, the voice was clearly masculine, unique…. Whole.

>’’You’d already be gone if you pulled this stunt earlier this month without the little modification I’ve done to your body’’

You feel too weak and exhausted to care, his words barely register like a fleeting dream; grasping reality from the fog of illusion is hard enough has it is, but to be forced into dialogue when you wish for nothing more than sleep make registering the information that much harder… listening on stubbornly is all you can do as you try to grasp the cardinal directions.

‘’You should look into blood magic, for both our sake’’

--

‘’He’s waking’’

A strangely soothing sensation bring you out of this momentary forced sleep, a strange sensation keep prickling at your skin while something warm and weightless rubs up and down your body, you don’t even feel the wound of the crossbow bolt on your shoulder and the first thing you do is move your hand toward it, only to notice (with joy) that the projectile is gone.

«Hrrrm… now that’s what I call excitement»

The gruff voice of Arnvidur resonate inside the force field and you grimace while opening your eyes, the strong setting sun of the evening is shining right on your face, thankfully, the bright orange ball is obscured once someone move a little closer.

‘’You feeling alright?’’

Leila, it’s Leila; she’s sitting in front of your while grasping the staff for support as the machine keep moving forward slowly, it’s heavy deliberate steps causing inevitable shock up above. Her free hand is glowing in bright white-gold, projecting a similarly colored aura in your direction.

The Purifier look exhausted, her face is drenched in sweat, her long golden hair cling to her bloodied body and she’s breathing like someone just out of training, the colored veins on her body have grown a bit more brilliant, the usual white looking much more golden that it previously was; an obvious sign of eventual overcasting.

‘’Siggy’’

A familiar small, worried voice speak up gently behind you, Emeth is in the cockpit as well, sitting behind you and hugging your body, allowing you to keep a somewhat comfortable sitting position as she propped her body against the force field, preventing you from wobbling too much at the battle armor walking, she doesn’t make any movement, simply content to stay and keep you stable.

‘’We’ve made it out thanks to the machine but… your look terrible’’

«Call me Arnvidur, lad!»

‘’Ah… well right, Sir Arnvidur helped hold the line long enough to activate the teleportation circle’’

Quick glances around you reveal your current position; you’re treading into a forest, the sound of the heavy machinery stepping into the piles of dead leaves and broken woods make concealing your position all but impossible, the golem is also holding Ithel in its large oversized hands, the little alchemist cast you a few glances then give a thumb up as your eyes meets, down below Mylen is actually jogging forward, a good distance of around 10 meters separating her from the big, big machine as she’s obviously scouting and showing the way forward.

‘’She’s leading us toward one of the forward camps of the monsters although… it’s highly likely it’ll be gone, still keeping to the forest is the better idea for now, some troops of the Faith have likely already been mobilized to intercept us already; I’ve felt some magical projection in the air when you were unconscious.’’

You refocus as best you can, the world isn’t spinning thank the gods for that, but your vision is like brume as if your eyes are full of tears, so you rub them constantly while moving your body somewhat, not minding the fact that Emeth is the only reason why Arnvidur uneven platform doesn’t send you crashing on the magical walls.

‘’Siegfried, we might have to fight some more and if we do I…’’

Obviously the girls talked amongst themselves before hand, Leila put her hand on your shoulder and shakes you slightly to force you to look at her.

‘’STRONGLY’’

This time she squeezes with a little force, her bloodied face and uniform robs little of her grace.

‘’Advise you to avoid casting anymore; your nerves are most likely going to burn once you deactivate Arnvidur and exit Focus, going even farther is likely going to kill you outright. You’ve already had a case of Overcast this month, another one so soon is likely to cause cardiac arrest and there wouldn’t be much I could do about it’’

Jeez talk about bad news…

What do you do?

>>28621654
Ok, so we made out alive, but barely and we're only alive because the beast has been tinkering with our insides.

So how much farther until we can remand ourselves into Zipangu custody? And how much farther can we ride the mech until we die from that anyway?

>>28621654
"Then let's hope we don't have to fight anymore. I'm not so sure if I can promise to stand by and do nothing if one of you might get hurt."

Ok, I have a way out of this. Send a pulse to Hadraniel. Something along the lines of "HELP ME I'M GONNA DIE SOON!"

Should get the girl to come running/flying at top speed towards our location

>>28621722

The fort the chuch is about to siege is all the way in the next province, going on foot is going to be rather hard, even more so with all the church forces regrouping for the coming siege.

As for your second question, you don't have much to worry about on that front, while your reserves have essentially been exhausted, keeping the machine running is much, much less taxing than actvating the thing, you'd easily be able to keep it running for around 16 hours or so.

Provided you don't fight.

Mixing those two ought to be easy enough

Hrmm, Haddy could be busy fighting somewhere though.
It's still too early to rely on Tsu as well.
Really need to get the hell over to the Demon King to save her ass too.

>>28621956
The problem is that if we activate the Jade now the corruption burst will be felt for miles, giving them a bead on our exact location.

>>28621984
Man nothing is ever easy.

>>28621654
Let's rest for a second and see if the situation develops any further.

I think I've found Deruella's theme song.

>>28621822
>>28621938
I'm really against sending for Hadraniel right now.
We have no idea where she is, or what her current situation is.
What we DO know is that she would be sent where the fighting is thickest and most crucial; distracting her any further than what we've already done by nearly dying is likely to create more problems and it will solve.

>>28622303
We can just check the link. Can we check it?

>>28622318

Yup, the girls don't see mto be in battle today, the emotions are rather stable.

>>28622129
INH, does Arnvidur have any kind of tracking beacon? Just want to be sure since, given that these magitek armors are considered superweapons, that I would have put a tracker on one just in case it was somehow stolen.

Also, Mylen is a known member of the Zipangu military, and she can basically say that she caught us and that we're all POW's; that should let us get behind the front lines.
Considering our situation, getting a Zipangu transport to move us all back towards the capital would be best in order to allow Siggy's reserves to fill back up.

>>28622415
Gonna be hard to explain the mech with that story. Best course of action is to immediately surrender to Zipangu forces and say we have vital intel on their enemy. There's a KOS order out on us but hopefully they'll see reason.

>>28622415

Ther are tracking beacons of course, but the fancy thing about using a dwarf as AI means the dude can and oftentime will, fuck up this little part of the system if he so choose or simply to fuck around with some of the officials.

Making them play ball is hard enough already, so most of the time the Church doesn't try to alienate them anymore than necessary.

In other word yo ucan fully expect the old dorf to ahve deactivated it.

>>28622501
Hahahahaha. Thank god he's a bro, we'd be right fucked if he wasn't.

>>28622481
We already have surrendered to Zipangu forces; Mylen is still part of the Zipangu military, even if she was caught and was a prisoner of the Church.
So she should be the one to talk with any Zipangu officers that we meet.

>>28622481
>say we have vital intel on their enemy
"Then tell me what that intel is right now," is going to be the response from whoever we meet. They're not going to let us past without good reason, and any information we have can be told to a runner who will pass it along.

‘’Then hope we don’t have to fight anymore…’’

Thankfully, talking didn’t prove to be too onerous, although you couldn’t exactly mind your tone and stature; being outside the church camp, even if you’ve got some pursuers, lifted a great weight off your shoulders. You don’t need to pretend anything for now… and probably in the future as well, provided you make it out of this mess of a situation that is STILL the best option you could have had, the teleportation circle obviously sent you back to the chapel you’ve encountered Amarantha and Kyorn in, but you can’t expect the Monster main cramp to be at the same place after their defeat…

‘’Siegfried listen to me’’

With a little jolt you look up toward the dirtied blond, you really have this habit of going off with your thoughts in the middle of a discussion…

‘’Don’t cast anymore until you can rest, this is my ORDER as Holy mage, got that?’’

You only find the strength to grunt.

‘’GOT THAT!?’’

This time she’s much more invasive, going as far as squeezing your (previously wounded) shoulder and leaning closer, you can’t wiggle out no matter how much you want to try, especially with Emeth holding you like that from behind.

‘’Yeah yeah…’’

‘’Good, now rest up, Mylen is showing to way to one of the forward camps of the monster knights, although it’s probably fruitless it’s still better than nothing’’

The immediate isn’t looking too bright, still right now you’ve ventured farther inside the territory than you can remember, at least based on what you remember from that second assignment provided by Ahriman, the furthest area was to the Northwest and right now, from what you remember of the map and the emplacement of the chapel, you’re going southwest…

The Soul Link could be used, Hadraniel, Sylphis and Athena seem to be relatively calm albeit, worried sick about your current state. There’s no doubt your exhaustion and hurt is filtering all the way toward them despite your best efforts and if you were to concentrate long enough…. Maybe, just maybe you’d be able to motivate a certain angel to get here pronto, but of course there’s no telling the consequences of such a thing.

You know Hadraniel, she’s very, very fast but she’d also make so much noise coming here the entire army will think there’s a surprise attack and the patrolling angels are inevitably going to zero in on her position… woe to them for that, you can tell she’s going to be pissed.

‘’Just rest for now, Mylen is doing a perfect job and Arnvidur is keeping a look out’’

--

You had no other choice but to listen to Leila for now; right now you’re still on the fence about calling for help through the link and your progress is pretty fast, the forest is obviously impeding the progress of your machine but the dwarf isn’t one to let a few pesky trees get in the way, you’ve got to make fully of the confusion in the Church headquarter and that obviously means making lots of sounds if need be, and thankfully you’ve yet to be spotted by aerial scouts.

Mylen continued on without stopping, she’s been fighting nonstop previously and now walking at a brisk pace with her shield, a stolen sword and Leila flamberge on her back without taking a break in hours and it doesn’t look like she’s ready to stop anytime soon. This entire escape deep in the vegetation has already taken the better part of an hour, and that’s only after you’ve woken up, the sun is slowly creeping under the horizon, forcing an increasing amount of shadow in the not-so-thick forest… but for now, you’ve got the advance on the church inevitable pursuit and you finally reach your destination.

--

‘’Shit they cleared out pretty fast…’’

Leila remark causes you to smile despite this bitterness. You’ve reached the forward camps of the Shining Knights but obviously it’s been evacuated fast, very fast. Tent and furniture are lying here and there with a few bedrolls forgotten on the forest floor, it’s a pretty big mess with forgotten knick-knack left in the dirt, Arnvidur bulky form inevitably disturb some still intact pieces but, overall, there’s not a damn soul to be found and Mylen has stopped, inspecting the place for some reason while the big machine watch.

«Might have to go one and push yeself into exhaustion lads, look like this pipe dream blew up»

Hmm…

What do you do?

>>28622960
See if Mylen found anything worth noting. Might be able to track what direction they went.

>>28622967
That might be a good idea, might lead to another teleportation circle or a comm bouy, I bet Tsu was setting up a network of some type with those rituals right off the bat, it may still be active.

>>28622960
Ask Mylen if she track where the Knights went.
Otherwise, we need to find a defensible position and rest before our nerves burn out completely.

>>28622967
I'm with.

‘’Look like this is a worthwhile spot, I’ll go talk to her’’

Leila speak and crawl toward the force field only to be forced to spot once Arnvidur start moving, the large machine scoop down near ground loved, it’s joined hand cupping the small form of Ithel who quickly jump down, landing aground in a small thud, Leila follow suit by literally jumping out of the field and creating a few juxtaposed Holy shields to avoid a 3 meters drops and, of course, she goes off toward the raven haired beauty.

It’s a damn shame you can’t hear much of anything going on outside the field… but at least you’ve still got Emeth for company, the golem is being very affectionate by keeping her arms rolled around your chest and legs locked around your hips, you wouldn’t be able to move even if you wanted to! Sometime she squeeze, other she’d nestle on the back on your neck, oftentimes massage your heart… You can feel yourself blushing already.

«Hrm interesting…»

At least this old dwarf isn’t making any comment and instead brings some business, Arnvidur face is close enough to the girls to overhear everything.

«Seem like the knights are supposed to leave some items behind, some sort of amulet that’d ping in their magical surveillance network and hopefully, get back the stragglers but your girl doesn’t have much hopes of finding anything anyway…»

The big machine move as you feel a strong magical pulse overhead, then a strident sound as something cut the air right above to disappear further south, only to veer off toward the East and disappear in the horizon, the tress prevented you to see what it was exactly but it’s not hard to guess.

«And church is waking up, finally. Whatcha gunna do lad? Stay here and search or should we hoof it?»

Asking for help with the help is looking mighty tempting right about now…

>>28623425
>Asking for help with the help

That's supposed to read ''With the Link''

Sorry

>>28623425
Think hoofing it might be best. We have a lead on the church and we need to keep it.

>>28623425
Ok as far as I see it we have 2 options.

One, we hoof it, hopefully getting to a defensible position and avoiding a fight.

Two, call for help. Hadraniel will draw attention and thus a fight with a few angels but, well, she can handle it without our help if our companions join in.

Is that about right?

>>28623425
Huh, if it's a magical amulet, wouldn't it normally show up easily while we're in Focus? Leila doesn't see the amulets either?

If that's the case, then we should get moving again. This erratic movement by the Church will have been picked up by Zipangu scouts, no doubt. Hopefully they'll send a scout team to investigate and we can make contact with them.

>>28623580

3, search for that magical item that'd trigger the monster surveillance network and tell them where you are.

>>28623601

Magical items are only magical and thus, sensible, once you active them. Some never stop projecting like the Holy Sword, but your usual item need to be activated and deactivated.

>>28623637
Lets call for help and look for the item at the same time because we don't have time to waste picking just one option.

>>28623580
Hoof it,
It things get serious we pop the painkiller for time and then call Haddy.

>>28623686

Of course it's perfectly viable to mix em.

But it seem like the consensus is to hoof it fast, the fort is pretty far but you DO have a lead... for now.

>>28623728
Lets hoof it then, if it turns out to be the bad idea I have the moral high ground.

>>28623728
How big is said lead? Like, how long until that task force actually manages to pinpoint our location and get to us?

Also, I no way our clothes have a tacker bug in them right?

>>28623788

I'm not going to reveal how big your lead is, but oy ucan rest assured you don't have a bug on your.

Problem is tough, Magical armor are just that, magical and they have aerial supremacy with the angels.

I'm going to start writing with the chosen option in mind, so if you guys change your minds, do it quick.

>>28623820
Great so they already know our position with that angel that just flew over us. That's fucking swell.

>>28623425
Search for the item.

>>28623820
A lead is still a lead, and the closer we get to the Zipangu lines, te more likely the Church forces will be seen and a Zipangu counter arrives.

>>28623820
Do they have total air supremacy? Doesn't Zipangu have any harpies or tengus for scouts?

>>28624001

This isn't Zipangu territory.

>>28624021
Fuck. How far until we're innazone they control?

We still have the magic black stone
The Demon Lord have us

>>28624053

Next province, you'll probably have to march until the middle of the night/morning.

>>28624083
That's not good for an entire group of people, and the Demon Lord is in pretty bad shape right now. We shouldn't expect any support from her until we're able to make a soul link with her in order to stabilize her.

>>28624083
Wait... That's right the stone! Daiyu might be on her last legs but that baphomet can make a portal for us to escape into!

Problem is hers are small, we may have to ditch the Dwarf to his fate, likely a dismantling.

But hey, at least Siggy and everyone else has a way out if this goes ploin shaped.

>>28624104
We're in Focus right now, so we should be able to calculate if our magic reserve will last us that long. If it won't, then running is a bad idea and we'll need to call for help and find the amulet.

>>28624104
Will our reserves last that long?

>>28624161

Yes

>>28624133

You can contact the Demon Lord and ask for help, too

>>28624195
We should contact her, see how much longer she has left. That will affect my decision.

>>28624195
Since the Church already knows our position, contacting the Demon Lord presents no additional risks. The Demon Lord might not be able to help directly, but the Baphomet might. Or maybe Bletsia can write up a teleportation scroll or something to help us. Don't forget that she's a strategic weapon system in her own right.

>>28624195
Don't contact the demon lord. We need to save that to help her. No clue if contacting her will use it up or not.

>>28624361

Communication isn't THAT costly, it's teleporting an individual that cost you the stone.

>>28624340

Seem like this is the consensus.

>>28624361
Communication is established to not use it up. Now if you want portals or summoning then you can get worried.

>>28624444
It's not but it's the majority decision.

>>28624444
Let's do it.

Also, just want some clarification.

Moment we drop focus we're going to collapse right? So we need to be back along side Tsu and Ame before we can drop focus rigth?

>>28624553

No need to be back with them persay, but moment you lose Focus you'll drop hard yeah

>>28624582
And if we use magic before that. We're PROBABLY going to die right? Including casting a simple communication spell?

I honestly think that telepathying one of our soul links with news of where the fuck we are and what we just did is a more effective way to get help right?

>>28624582
I thought we were also going to scream in total agony as the full pain of "burnout" hits us squarely in the testicles. Am I right about this too or will it be a "too much for the brain to handle" and shutdown kind of deal?

>>28624654
Soul links cannot transmit information or knowledge, only emotion and vague direction.

>>28624654
Stone does casting for us, if it does draw from our reserves it'll be at the rate of one step forward a minute or something similarly trivial. It it was a big drain we'd a noticed by now.

>>28624705
Then let's do it. Honestly I think messaging Tsu would be our best bet of getting into safe hands... but yeah, two birds, one stone, we get the statue thingy to the demon lord, then get them to send us to Zipangu and Tsu.

We tell them "Hey. we're back. Sorry about that, had to kill the high inquisitor and stuff. I'm going to sleep now. Night." and turn off focus.

>>28624654

Stones barely take anything out of you to activate.

>>28624669

Yeah sort of, problem is tough oyu had another case of Overcast this month and too much can literally cause cardiac arrest, couple that with two stimulants and... Leila has more than enough reason to be worried.

Ok then if this is number 2 than the first one was...

Wait, she wasn't there for when we decapitated the loli witch. Is it just her training that allowed her to see the symptoms or did we ever tell her about it?

>>28624764
Messaging Tsu is simply not possible, except perhaps with a scroll from Bletsia. So either way we would need to call Daiyu.

>>28624933
damn it. Fine. Let's call Daiyu, get her the statue to heal her, and if push comes to shove, rather than magery, we use our mentat skills to be badasses.

>>28624924

It's very obviosu to see the symptoms of Overcast, very VERY obvious you don't need medical knowledge for that.

Wouldn't be so much medical knowledge as magical knowledge. You can bet every mage is made intimately aware of the biggest risk of firing off a bigger spell than they can really handle from day one. Probably by showing them pictures that show a progressive severity of what happens to you. Scare the bastards straight. Can't have the little buggers killing themselves after all.

That scene got all of my special effects and sound design Jimmies in a pleasant tingle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH0UaKazSVc

‘’We can’t afford to linger, the angels have most likely already pinpointed our position’’

You can’t move an inch with Emeth glued to you like that but… you don’t have the heart to tell her to move away either, it’s pretty comfy being used as a living pillow.

«Keep the lead aye? Well let me tell em that…»

The three girls are easily within earshot as they set out to look at the wreckages, Arnvidur speak your wish without bellowing and of course, your met with some disapproval from a certain bodyguard who is glaring at you with hand on her hips, the other two prove more reasonable at least, Ithel seem very eager to get back in security and so, she jump back inside Arnvidur palm to fiddle with some of her equipment while Leila make her way back into the cockpit by way of magical steps, her form faze through the magical barrier and she let out a satisfied sigh as she sit down, clutching the staff one handed while looking back at you.

‘’Are you sure about that?’’

You don’t even need to nod, you just give a decisive stare and answer.

‘’Very much so, I’ve got a trick up my sleeve to see us out without wasting this precious distance; the forest is great cover right now and I’m certain that if it weren’t for that, we’d have a squad of angels on our ass right about now, that doesn’t mean we can linger and give our following Inquisitors time to narrow the distance.’’

With a bit of a smug attitude, you blow Mylen a kiss and she roll her eyes, then goes back to take point in front of Arnvidur, obviously immune to the meaning of the word ‘’fatigue’’

--

It’s a few hours south east of the camp now and night is falling properly; the forest bathe in glum shadows while Mylen is obviously managing to proceed without a hitch despite the encroaching darkness, Arnvidur for his part, activating some of the light on his person, the eyes of the machines projected a strong cone of blue energy that was, thankfully, not obnoxiously strong; it’s inevitable that the armor would be felt by any mages, but increasing your radar presence isn’t a good idea anyway.

‘’What the hell is this woman…’’

‘’Dat gal fought twice as hard as erryone here and hell, she keep on going and going… wait probably not as much as ya Siggy but you get my point right?’’

Ithel invited herself in the cockpit once the sun disappeared behind the hills in order to be in ‘’proper company’’
She was obviously scared but pointing that out would be rude, still right now those girls are obviously exhausted; Leila fought very, very hard to prevent injuries and kill the opposition earlier today, it’s no doubt she’s feeling exhausted.

‘’Mylen is a real oddball, don’t mind it too much’’

Your bodyguard is REALLY unique.

But now you figure might be the best of time to contact some faraway allies, the stone of Daiyu Jawahir is a very odd item; when you put your hand in your pocket without thinking of it, it’s gone but once you actually remember its presence and need it to – in the case of the demons wishing to speak to you- it’s presence make itself very obvious indeed and now, as always, the black jade rest in your pocket and you palm it gently, closing your eyes and breathing in as you activate it’s communicating function by simply reaching toward it with some magic, the effort is so minuscule it barely register as a magic item.

…just like that it begins vibrating.

…
…

It take a good ten minutes of patient waiting, the girls are chatting amongst themselves and thankfully, your current position give the illusion of sleeping and thus, you don’t need to pay attention. Emeth has also moved away to leave you alone, not out of modesty but simply because she needed to keep herself properly alert now that night has almost fallen. The Church is likely to try something, else they see you disappear in the shadows.

‘’Hullo’’

That voice…

‘’Hello, Belphegore’’

Thankfully you need only communicate in your mind.

‘’Ah, Siegfried… sort of caught us at a bad time but I suspect you’ve got something going on?’’

‘’You could say that, I may… no actually, I need your help. As simple as that, me and my allies are being pursued by the Church and I have no idea if we’ll make it to Zipangu, think you can… help out with that?’’

The demon laugh, a strangely hoarse, hollow and fatigued voice follows; she’s obviously faking her good nature.

‘’Yeah I can, had Bletsia make some teleporting scrolls. I can hop over right now, want to get this over with?’’

That’s… surprisingly simple!

What do you do?

>>28625323
No. If they have something going on, it's important. Especially since they tend to not tell us stuff until it's dire.

>>28625323
"Don't be like that Bel, how bad is it over there?"

>>28625323
"If it won't mean risking Daiyu's life then do it. I also have an artifact that'll ensure her survival. You can thank mom for that one."

>>28625323
>‘’Yeah I can, had Bletsia make some teleporting scrolls. I can hop over right now, want to get this over with?’’
Also tell her we got an artefact that should be able to cure the demon lord of whatever is ailing her. The saintly statue thing we got.

Offer to drop it off with the Demon Lord first.

>>28625323
"How bad is she doing, Belphegore? Because my lead should still be good for a little bit more, if you need to stabilize her."

We need to know how badly things are going over there first.
But it's good to know that Bletsia is living up to her value.

How are we going to get the scrolls from them? i don't think our current companions will be understanding if some of the demon lords minions just appear to trade items with us.

>>28625595
If we do teleport it'll be to the Demon Lord's location (likely her fortress/castle) to use that statue on her before we drop focus and almost die again.

Seriously I feel like Piccolo here. Almost die, get healed, have to get back up and almost die yet again, get healed again, almost die another time... It's a friggin' cycle, Siggy needs a vacation after all this is over.

>>28625647
We tell them she's a friendly before she arrives. Seriously she sided with a heretic, Leila should have seen this one coming.

>>28625647
If they've gone with us this far, they'll keep going.
In for a penny and all.

>>28625823
Wait... Oh shit, Mylen is still grudge mode for the demon lord! Keep her away from her she might try and finish the job while she's vulnerable!

You can’t help but open your eyes at her dispirited tone, the foliage isn’t too heavy thankfully, Arnvidur progress isn’t too loud and irritating, this dwarf is a patient one indeed but… then again, maybe he’s just glad to stretch those metals legs of his.

"Don't be like that Bel, how bad is it over there?"

You try to sound a little cherry, if she can’t you’ll just have to pick up the slacks!

‘’Daiyu is in a coma’’

…

Oh

>’’Ah!’’

Now that… put a serious damper on things, your addled and fatigue mind can’t find anything to say, then again, it’d probably be wise to simply keep silent. They had one hell of a situation over there… and it’s probably not going to end for the Demon Lord.

‘’But hey, that Jade can still be activated without any fuss so… I can lend you a hand, I know where Zipangu force are stationed so I can get you there in a jiffy, wanna do it now?’’

She’s trying her best to sweep her feelings under the rug, her voice break a little at part to betray obvious weariness…
Still her service is very lucrative, however you’d no doubt that revealing the means to help Daiyu will lead to a non-negotiable situation where she’ll all but insist to port you back to her which may or may not be, the best course of action.

What do you do?

>>28625969
I'm tempted to go straight to Daiyu and have the others sent back to Tsu.

>>28625969
Do we HAVE to be the ones to use it? Can't we just, you know, hand it off to her?

And yeah, send the rest to Tsu, we go back to Daiyu and use the thing. Just make sure it gets used then we go back. We have a little while longer alright?

We DO reveal that we have the thing, cause otherwise we'd just be a dick. And siggy isn't a dick.

>>28625969
"How many teleport scrolls do you have ready, and can they move one of the Church's precious magitek armors that I was able to abscond with? This would help Zipang immeasurably, and I need it to help convince them to not shoot me on sight."

>>28626044

>Do we HAVE to be the ones to use it?

Mommy synch the statue to your soul only you and you alone can activate it.

That thing hold thepower of Life itself so... yeah, it's a pretty big deal

>>28625969
OH!
Also, we have to go back to Tsu and company before the the next sun set.

otherwise Kyorn goes berserk on us again remember?

Make sure that Bel knows that so she won't try to keep us over there okay? We give her the item to save the day, we make sure it's used, then she makes sure to bring us back asap.

Make sure she knows ALL of that before she comes over.

So recap.

1) Tell her Kyorn's threats and why we REALLY need to be back beside Tsu and Ame asap.
2) Tell her we got the artefact that can save Daiyu
3) Tell her we need to get our friends over there too.

>>28625969
If she's in a coma, I'm wondering if we should go right to her and try to help her now.

>>28626105
damn it. Fine. But make damn sure that we can get back before Kyorn goes murderhobo on us again.

"Ok, just wondering, you have any good medics over there and the air is relatively free of corruption right? Because I'm in a Magical Armor I want to keep as is and the instant I drop focus I'm going to suffer severe burnout. Damned Inquisitor didn't go down easy. Also, if I don't get back by tomorrow night Kyorn the Maurauder is literally going to kill me."

You know. If we were massive douche bags.

We'd let Daimyu die, and help Tsu to take her place as demon lord.

>>28626119
There's still the question of if the statue's effects are instantaneous or if they have to be channeled over a period of time.

Also, as soon as we go out of Focus, we're probably going to be unconscious, so we'll likely need someone that the Zipangu forces will trust when Belphegor teleports us to Zipang.

>>28626173

It's very easy to slip into the dark side isn't it?

>>28626162
>"Ok, I have something that'll save Daimyu. Now, before we continue with that, I'm just wondering, you have any good medics over there and the air is relatively free of corruption right?

>>28626207
Being good guy is never easy. Worth it though.

>>28626207
well it also solves the whole 'limited soul links' thing and makes sure Ame gets one too as is right and proper.

Good thing we're not douche bags.

Making mention of the statue will most likely have Belphegor begin the teleportation spell before we even finish talking.

Yeah, we'll be cut off mid spiel and she'd be right in our face screaming.

You start moving slightly, trying your best to remove the fatigue out of your bones, you catch the attention of the girls and simply nod at them silently, turning to look backward and looking in silence, making sure nobody could sneak up on you, Belphegore news is… at least not the worst of options.

‘’Just… hurry up and do your things, I really need you to enter a soul link with her, I’m going to give you a deep kiss if you do I promise’’

Ah! This time you can’t help a smile.

‘’Just… say, you got medics in your place?’’

The demon answer with a ‘’huh’’? Then her tune change, you can almost visibly see the ray of hope in her hopes as she starts talking back with the new energy of a second wind.

‘’I handle the hurts really, Bletsia can create some pretty nifty scrolls for that, too and I can have that Oni lift bodies if need be, we don’t exactly deal in… ah… ‘’Natural recovery’’ so you might have to suck out some corruption, but that’s only if you got someone pissing out blood from two cut up legs or something’’

You narrow your eyes a bit as you brace for Arnvidur next step, the dwarf warned everyone in the cockpit that he’s going down a hill.

‘’I see, how about corruption?’’

Belphegor is quick to answer.

‘’Were in the desert of the Pharaoh, had to move away from the Demonic realm and the throne even if we got strong loyalists back home, just had to go somewhere a little bit more secure that only a few people could know. Like me. We get provisions from em at secure spot and I fixed up the throne a few time by going back with Bletsia materials’’

Huh… the desert? Sound like a pretty nice place!

‘’Right, thank. I’m in a Battle Armor, you know these nifty new toys of the Church? I’ll start to Overcast the moment I drop Focus, so… well I need all the angles covered’’

‘’Shit, you had it rough too’’

‘’Inquisitor fought like a lion right to the end’’

Talking to her is strangely soothing, you don’t really feel as bad now for some reason.
‘’Also if I don’t go back to Zipangu tomorrow night or so, Kyorn is going to come for me and of course, kill me I’ve made a promise to the guy and he doesn’t handle betrayal well, as you can imagine’’
‘’No shit! I’ve heard tale of the guy all over in the allied kingdom, bloodthirsty maniac slaughtered an entire convent of monks high up in the mountain for some reason, he mellowed out now if ya ask me’’
Interesting tidbit of backstory… You take in a deep, deep breath and squeeze the little jade.
‘’So you…’’
You interrupt rather rudely.
‘’I’ve got something that’ll save Daiyu life.
‘’WHAT!?’’
‘’Listen, I have something that will save her life, but I’m also completely, thoroughly exhausted and just about ready to burn, thus I need you to do the lion share of the work; I want you to have what you need to swiftly move four person and a 3 meter tall hulking piece of giant, magical armor, you got that?’’
‘’ON MY WAY’’
...Mylen is going to be so pissed.
--


True to her word, the Baphomet made her presence known faster than you could warn the girls; you felt the Jade disappear in your hand as she forced, literally forced, her way in by hijacking the communication line, the little girl literally popped right next to you out of the air, sitting inside the cockpit while holding her large, large scythe that actually fased through the magical protection.

Of course, inevitably…

«What in tarnation!?»

‘’Siggy!’’

‘’Demon!?’’

‘’Awawawawa…’’

And then Mylen jumped into the flailing arm of Arnvidur, then jumped again to land right on top of the protective sphere ,glaring down at the goat demon that, quite simply, shook her paw to the assembly until Emeth starting strangling her from behind while Leila took out the Holy Sword.

‘’Guakakaka ally ally!’’

Oh dear, what do you do?

>>28626859
Ease off everyone, she's our ride out of here. So unless we want to make a pointless last stand please let go.

>>28626859
"By all that's left of the Holy, stop! She's an ally right now, and we need her to get us out of here and secure another ally in this war. AND it'll screw up Deruella's plans, alright? Now Emeth, let Belphegore go; that's an order."

>>28626859
"Everyone stand down this is an ally I made when I faked Amarantha's death! She's going to teleport us all to safety before the church can catch up to us. I'll have to make a detour with her before I can join you however. I've got to go screw up one of Deruella's plans. There's no fighting involved so I can do this alone. I won't be long. I promise."

>>28627093
>I won't be long. I promise
We really shouldn't promise something we don't know.
After all, we still don't know how the statue will operate.

>>28627149
The promise is just as much for our sake as it is for theirs. Remember, we have a certain berserker ticking time bomb that goes off at precisely t-minus tommorrow's sunset.

He's going to start killing people we like if we ain't back by then.

>>28627176
Yes, I know that the idiot will start doing really stupid shit if we aren't back by then. But making an empty promise, because we don't know how long the process with the statue is going to take, seems really useless. How is it for our sake at all?

>>28627212
Because we're really, really hoping we can keep it. For our own life and the lives of those we care about. The only waifus Kyorn can flat out wreck are Hadraniel and Tsu, every one else is a goner.

>>28627248
derp I meant "can't flat out wreck"

>>28627248
It just seems really unnecessary and even counterproductive to promise things like that.
We're already under pressure to get back in time, verbalizing in a promise isn't going to change anything or improve the situation. It's just being verbose for verbosity's sake.

"And this is the point where it turns out my fake betrayal wasn't entirely fake. Everyone, this is Daiyu Jawahir's right hand Belphegor. She's helping me save the world."

>>28627306
>my fake betrayal wasn't entirely fake
That's really not helping the situation here.
This is really a bad thing to say while tensions are high.

‘’Everyone calm down! Emeth, don’t break her neck let her go this instant!’’

At your command the golem does as ordered, allowing the poor, small demon to breathe a little easier, Belphegor cough and crawl forward with her weapon, plopping down beside you while rubbing her paw on her neck.

Emeth, of course, followed in the opposite direction.

‘’Shit you got one hell of a protective harem, shouldn’t ya be remembering me girl?’’

‘’Harem!? I’m not…’’

‘’Hush!’’

You raise your hand after forcing all of them into silence, momentarily keeping quiet yourself as you gaze up at Mylen whose presence is rather… awkward right now, what with her standing on the force field while aiming her sword down; of course Arnvidur isn’t really any better because that dwarf just started laughing.

‘’She’s an ally I made when I saved Amarantha life, she’s got the means to see us all to safety’’

Thankfully they start settling down after that, mostly Leila and Ithel, the Purifier put back the sword in her scabbard and sit back down instead of staying on her knees, looking on in confusion as Emeth start poking the paw pads of the goat demon.

‘’You… you really are the weirdest man in existence’’

You’ll take that as a compliment

‘’Now, with her help I can screw up another one of Deruella scheme AND secure a very precious ally for the war, who, at the very least, can provide very useful intelligence… but I hope to secure more. I would have gone back to Zipangu proper if we could but the Church will catch up to us before we cross the border’’

You let out a long, weary sigh

>>28627331
Yea,
"She's here to help, I can fill you all in when we are safe." Turn to Golem "Emeth, please let her go. She's an ally.

‘’But I need you guys to go into the monster lands while I take care of it – alone-. I can’t ignore their plight anymore and only my… unique… talent can resolve their crisis’’

Your met with complete, dead silence; followed very quickly by various expression of total disapproval, Belphegore at least, manage to wiggle out of Emeth grasps to flee out of the cockpit, literally jumping down while clutching her scythe to land effortlessly on the ground after a 3 meters drop.

‘’No’’

Mylen and Emeth spoke simultaneously, Leila then shook her head as well.

‘’We either go back to Zipangu as one, or not at all, that shouldn’t be hard to understand, right?’’

The Purifier voice her objection, Ithel for her part simply sulk alone.

Well you can’t say that you didn’t expect this outcome.

What do you do?

>Taking a 20 minutes break

>>28627390
Tell them that you would very much prefer doing this alone, but if they don't back down, let one and only one stay with you.

>>28627390
"Please go, I will be back soon but it will be much easier for all of us if I go it alone for a while." Smile a bit "I promise I will be back soon." Mabey pet Emeth's head a bit

Awww fuck why can things never, EVER be as easy as they ought to be.

"Alright, alright fine. I was hoping to not have to say this but... I'm going to save the Demon Lord. She wants peace the same as Tsu and I do and we can't really be picky about our allies given that weapon the church plans to use to kill every monster on the island. Also, I cut a deal with Kyorn. If I'm not back in some form by tomorrow night he kills everyone I've ever cared about and then kills me. So if all of you tell him what happened he should hold his wrath."

>>28627535
Same guy, there is an interesting tidbit if Leila thinks letting her die is a good thing (war gives humans a temporary peace). Who does she think will become the new demon lord? Because where we're sitting, it's gonna be Deruella. If you thought this DL was a turbo slut you ain't seen nothin' yet. Daiyu will look downright prudish by comparison and she's not as merciless either.

In other words, Daiyu is the far lesser of two evils.

>>28627535
>>28627614
I'm not sure how wise it is to spill all the beans, Tsu's probably got enough pieces to put the puzzle together as it is and we don't want her helping us.

>>28627677
That and it is info best kept for later, an ace in the hole.

>>28627390
"The problem with that is Kyorn threatened to tear me in half if I'm not back before soon. You showing up is a sign that I intend to return soon, since he knows at the very least I wouldn't abandon you. Emeth, that means you especially have to go back."

Hostage politics is fun! No it isn't.

>>28627535
>"Alright, alright fine. I was hoping to not have to say this but... I'm going to save the Demon Lord.

And before anybody says 'letting her die would solve a lot of problems' the person set up to take her place if she does is even worse, where as the current Demon Lord might JUST back off on the whole 'releasing buckets of corruption over everything' deal. So I -really- need -someone- preferably -all- of you, to go back, and tell Ame, Tsu, Kyorn, and the rest what's going on so that no body has to die alright? I know it's not ideal, but SOMEBODY has to go back and tell everyone what happened, and it can't be me."

So we be dropping the Big New?

>>28627816
Do it. just as said in >>28627779

>>28627816
Yup

>>28627844
Add in to tell Bel that
"You have to make sure to get me home the MOMENT this is done. I'm serious. I trust you guys enough to be doing this, but I want to be back in Zipangu when my Focus State finally breaks, got it? I want your word that no matter what happens, you'll make sure I get back there before I have to break focus, got it?"

>>28627816
Wait, I thought us telling people this info was bad.

>>28628010
It is. Which is why we shouldn't.

>>28628010
It is, but we really don't have a choice.

Name another way we can get the girls out of here short of explaining the stakes?

>>28628070
Ask them to trust us?

‘’There is… an important reason why I can’t have you along, it’s related to a certain dark winged man who let go of the title of Hero. Earlier today, you guys know I had an assignment with Ahriman, to make a long story short I encountered the man and he swore that he’d tear me limbs from limbs tomorrow evening if I wasn’t back on the monster side… And he’d also go after everyone I cared about first’’

While the girls inside the cockpit fall silent, Mylen is obviously the one with the strongest objection.

‘’You don’t need all of us to be sent as hostage, I can still accompany you’’

‘’Muh! Me too!’’

«Oi! Lads he aint finished, stop babbling and come to an agreement before the church find us»

Down below the she-goat is busily slamming the staff end of her scythe in the ground, looking up at your merry gang in the cockpit huddling nice and easy together; the girls have fallen silent but none of them are really too convinced and this time, you let out a long weary sight, lock eyes with Belphegor and scratch the back of your head.

‘’Now I need all of you to listen to me. What I aim to do now is to save the life of the Demon Lord’’

You suddenly raise your hand and scream out ‘’LET ME FINISH’’ when the girls are obviously taken aback, even Emeth jump enough to smack her head on the force field while Mylen… oh dear, Mylen start knocking on the protection, wishing to be let in but the dwarf stubbornly hold on and keep her out.

‘’She is a moderate leader very much akin to Hieronymus Lex; I can’t possibly let her die, just like I worked tirelessly to save the High General. Both person are in similar position in their respective factions and to simply let her die would mean the throne is vacant for her daughter who would be… the worst option imaginable’’

Leila palm strike the slick rocks of Arnvidur cockpit and you lock eyes with her, the anger and rebellion in her eyes washing off you like water.

‘’Did you… compare Lex to the Demon Lord?’’

‘’Yes, both are vital for the alliance of monsters and humans. Nevertheless, that’s not the reason why I need you all to go back. I’m not sure about the situation in the monsters alliance but it’s bound to be a mess, I want you all to go back and talk to Tsukiyomi, Ame-no-Uzume and Kyorn if possible, your numbers would add weight to your arguments AND…’’

Your reach toward Emeth head and pat her gently, the girl nuzzle in your warm palm and close those magnificent square eyes of hers in comfort.

‘’…returning the Monsters weapon means that they can’t treat you as prisoners, that wouldn’t be the case if you came back with me’’

Then you hear a hollow thud, Mylen just fell to her knee and punched the protection in anger, her face contorted in rage, she cast down a gaze of pure fury in your direction… only to close her eyes once your gaze crosses.

‘’That doesn’t mean you can’t take one person with you. I won’t allow you to give me the slip again, Siegfried. You’ll either take me with you, or I drag you back to Zipangu, Demon Lord or not.’’

Silence fall; Mylen isn’t going to listen to anything else… what do you do?

>>28628133
Welp. Looks like I was too late to stop this blunder.

>>28627779
You made it a lot better. This.

>>28628150
I suppose mylen is coming with us then

>>28628155
Is there a reason NOT to let Mylen come with us? Cause right now the only thing I can think of is we knock her out and send her back. I doubt that's a viable option.

>>28628155
Can you name a method that gets us this result? Frankly honesty has always been our best policy with our allies, and right now the time for fraud has ended. There's no way we'd get out of this scott free without explaining the situation, especially so that they can explain to the others why we did it.

Is it smart?

No. But frankly I don't see ANYTHING else getting us a good ending from this. We need speed over everything else at this point.

So let Mylen come along.

And get a promise out of Bel about getting us back to Zipangu the moment this shit ends.

>>28628213
>>28628214
Wait a second!

We got a problem.

Is there -anybody- except Mylen amongst this group who can be trusted to be able to talk to Ame and Tsu or Kyorn asap? Even including Emeth.

>>28628192

I tried to mix all of the writing while keeping to Siggy eprsonality.

>>28628214
Was working on one but I was too late. No point going over it now that it's too late.

>>28628273
Thanks.

Anyway. Can Emeth be trusted to get our message to Ame and Tsu and Kyorn if she goes? And convince them of what's gone on? Or can we only trust Mylen with that duty?

>>28628150
"Mylen I want your honest opinion. Can you trust yourself enough NOT to try and strike at the Demon Lord? I know your feelings about her and I want to know if you can put duty before personal feelings on this." Smile a bit "I don't want to go it alone but what I need to do and what I want to do are rarely the same

>>28628242

Emeth got debugged enough to speak for herself, but it's true that Mylen has some better standing despite dissapearing after her assignement.

>>28628150
So they now know about Emeth being the central control terminal and that they'll be offering her up as a sign of good faith right?

>>28628299
I like this, it is a very valid question. She's grudge mode on Daiyu and the bitch is a sitting duck. All she'd have to do is slide in the knife to attain VENGEANCE! After that it's gut Deruella and she's back in happy town.

Can't let her rejoice, but I know she really wants to.

Isn't the demon lords location going to be swimming in corruption? If so, unless we want another Succubi we may want to leave our purifier friend back as well

>>28628299
>>28628300
And mention that we REALLY need to trust Mylen with this. Getting this message out is more important even than us. Letting everyone know what has happened, the full story, so that peace HAS a chance. If no one knows that the high inquisitor is dead, that there are people up there looking to make a peace, that they STILL have the fuck huge holy energy bomb. All of it. And that the Demon Lord MIGHT be open to peace as well and helping solve all this shit, then everything we've done for this point will mean fucking -nothing-

We literally cannot trust anyone else to ensure this message gets through, untainted and with everything communicated properly, no offense to Emeth.

>>28628361

Not worst idea, and why do you hope she kills us? She still doesn't have much of a reason to kill us. We're never getting her in the harem now but that was never my goal.

>>28628380
We should definitely mention this as well.

>>28628431
Our harem is already huge... putting her in the harem almost feels like putting our little centipede girl faux-daughteru into the harem.

>>28628380
Yea, gotta mention that we trust her to tell everyone the right thing. Sending a golem and purifier alone back to a war camp of monsters would probably end badly.

>>28628449
Again, never the goal. I just want them alive and happy (us alive and happy too optimally). How exactly that happens I care not.

>>28628488
Yep this isn't harem end, it's happy end (harem optional)

I'll try for an option.

"Mylen, I don't want this either but you have to listen to me. The only other person besides myself that will be believed with this story is you. If the leaders of Zipangu are not alerted to what has happened today, of the fact that there is now a legitimate chance for peace along with everything else I've just told you, then everything I've done up to this point will have been for nothing! I cannot allow that to happen, I don't want to be the man who betrayed his friends and tortured you of all people for no reason."

>>28628431
>Devout purifier of the church, has been conditioned to hate the demon lord.
>Swayed to our side with promises of peace and her general mentor friend remaining alive
>Oh actually I don't just want to work out peace I want to run off and help the demon lord.

I'd be more surprised if she ends up not doing anything.

Back to reading for me then.

>>28628588
Oh she'll do something, probably not like us very much for a good long while, but again I don't see her killing us. It ain't like she can just go back to the church side, she well and truly flipped them off back there.

That means she cleared the hurdle of being a trusted traitor. I've said it before, you want them to trust you, you gotta do something to your own team that'll ensure they'll NEVER take you back.

So long as we ain't killed on sight I'm a happy camper. Gotta at least get a chance to explain before we get something lodged in our kidneys/lungs/hearts/anything that's pretty much guaranteed to be fatal without the use of that accursed fate point/vampire pot.

>>28629006
The goal is to teleport back so that we're infront of Tsu and company and say:
"Hey guys... really sorry about all this, I've been a tremendous ass... that said. I've got to collapse in horrible pain right now."

Then release focus.

Oh dear god this is black comedy gold for me. This is how Lescatie happened in my head now. Deruella was the lilim, found a nice young man, corrupted him, and then (because he was connected to all the right people), totally fucked that city over by leading said right people to her for corruption along with her own solo work.

Plus hey, she's like that. Sex sex and more sex when not plotting. Daiyu ain't got shit compared to her fourth daughter in the slut department.

Pretty much. I suck at coming up with original stuff, so I take the ones I really like and add in bits... hope I'm not offending? If I am I'll stop.

>>28629111
Nope, perfectly fine. Just curious

>>28629111
Dude, if you think you can make an option better then do it. We want to make the best choices after all.

‘’Your actions removed the biggest thorn on the sides of my mentors; you had absolutely no reason not defect to the church and accomplish at all… I’ll trust you on this, Siegfried. You’ve at least proved something through your actions today, so I won’t raise any objections’’

‘’Siggy…’’

‘’Iiiii sort of figured it’d get rough once in the monster place, I don’t mind tough! Never really had much loyalty to whatever place I clung to ‘nyway.’’

To think that the two girls from the Church would prove the most reasonable of the bunch… Emeth isn’t exactly liking this idea one bit but instead of making it known through rage, she’s simply clinging to you in sadness, rubbing her cheek on your shoulder, inevitably provoking you to pat her head.

‘’I’ll protect them, Ithel gave me what I need to fight again…’’

She whisper slowly in rekindled resolve; the soul link burst with new energy and that little gripping sadness goes away faster than you could have ever imagined.

…when the hell did she grow up like that?

You don’t have much time, Arnvidur is moving slightly and Belphegor is clutching her scythe in both hands now, the pursuing Inquisitors have more than likely closed some gaps; Mylen is stubbornly clinging on to her position.

"Mylen, I don't want this either but you have to listen to me.’’
She immediately protests by smacking her fist into the force field.

‘’Don’t try to sweet talk me! I made an oath to protect you and you alone everywhere you go! That’s what it mean to be a bodyguard!’’

She’s really… hardheaded. But that’s only when it concerns you, doesn’t it? She had absolutely no trouble being tortured and keeping her mouth shut, in fact, she rarely ask question as long as she can fulfill her duty, going as far as suppressing her emotions and wants but the moment you want to separate, you obviously go beyond her sole moral line.

‘’Mylen, the only other person besides myself that will be believed with this story is you. If the leaders of Zipangu are not alerted to what has happened today, of the fact that there is now a legitimate chance for peace along with everything else I've just told you, then everything I've done up to this point will have been for nothing!’’

‘’Emeth is more than capable to talk to Tsukiyomi about this!’’

For some reason, said golem stand and slowly wiggle out of the force field, her position make it hard to maneuver but she rather.. .clumsily exit toward Arnvidur face then knock on his forehead and he move his hands closer to allow her a platform to jump on as he grumble about lovesick youngsters.

‘’I cannot allow that to happen, I don't want to be the man who betrayed his friends and tortured you of all people for no reason."

‘’And I cannot allow you to venture somewhere without protection; my voice hold no power in monster society and I don’t care about them nearly as much as you do. You’ve slipped through my grasp once and I WILL NOT let it happen again, Shieffer!’’

Ah Mylen… she’s not going to listen, her sole and only wish is to stay by your side and nothing else, no matter how you sugarcoat it she won’t and will never accept any other options; this stubbornness is likely the only reason why she made it through the terrible ordeals of the past.

And then something quite amazing happen in very short notice.

‘’Gaah!’’

Mylen suddenly let out a grunt of pain and the next moment you look up, she disappeared from where she stood, tackled by something fast and falling painfully on the forest floor and into a bed of flower. Her assailant is none other than Emeth, the golem having been rather obvious in her sneaking, she went and struck the half-succubus during her emotional moment where her guard was obviously down and now she’s got a hand on her throat while the other is holding Mylen shield arm on the ground to avoid getting transformed into a projectile.

«Wooo cat fight!»

‘’Stop please. We’ll fight once were back home, but we can’t do so here, we had one hour of advance but now our pursuer will join us any minutes’’

Emeth spoke clearly, Leila and Ithel for their parts, are simply staring in wonder but then the goat demon walk up toward the two struggling girls, rattling her scythe on the ground.

‘’She’s right, we’ll get visit really soon’’

‘’Gah! Goddamit! Get off… Siegfried!’’

With a voice and eyes of pure, raw fury, Mylen ignore everyone but you, her shining eyes bearing straight into your tired form ready to collapse.

‘’I won’t… do anything to that demon! But if you make me fail my oath AGAIN…’’

She takes in a deep breath while struggling against Emeth iron grip, wrestling is obviously Mylen weakness, there’s no way she can overpower the golem.

‘’I’LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU’’

…

What do you do?

>>28629168

Stop making your bodyguard suffer /tg/

I don't like it but it looks like we may have to bring her to avoid getting swamped. Groan in frustration a bit "Fine, since you clearly don't trust me on this and we don't have enough time to debate this you are coming with me. just remember that you are NOT to harm her while we are they."
Turn to the bamotehp. "Teleport us now, We don't have much time."

>>28629168
"The oath of a true and honest bodyguard that cares nothing for money is, in truth, to see the aims of their charge executed successfully. You fight for their life, and sacrifice your own for theirs because of that. In the end, you want what they want and are willing to pay any price to ensure at least your charge gets it. So I must ask you one last thing before we're beset by hostiles. Do you want me to make my dreams a reality? If you say no I'll take you with me, but if you want to see me truly happy, if you care for me as much as I believe you do, then you'll go.

It sounds so sickening sweet that I'm pretty sure it will backfire.

She already said that sweet talking won't work and she's too hard headed to listen to reason.

What are the cons to that?

>>28629365

Mylen isn't there to back up her story (even if she'll just be way too fucking psised to talk to anyone) and she'll want to talk to the fluffy tails exclusively while boxing anyoen that want to jail Leila and Ithel.

She is acting pretty irrational right now and because she doesn't want to leave then she clearly doesn't trust us to leave.

Let her come along. Its suppose to be safe right now. If we do need to, we could port back directly to the capital after saving Daiyu to explain with Mylen.

Pass a message to Emeth to pass to Tsukiyomi. That if time permits, we will try to appear infront of the court with Mylen to explain ourselves in a couple of days.

"Emeth. I charge you to report what you saw during our time in the church camp truthfully and in as much detail as you can. Answer their questions except those pertaining to the reasons for our departure.

"I also want you to deliver three messages to Ame, to Athena and to Tsu. Tell Ame that her past can only define her so much as she lets it, and it's not as bad as she fears anyway. Tell Athena to be reassured, the path I walk ends with my return. And to Tsu, say that my actions stem from love, not betrayal. This won't get me out of trouble, but it should mean I get to sleep on the couch rather than in a dungeon.

"Your mind is made up Mylen? Then let's go."

That kind of retardation. We jsut had a undead literally force the concept of death into objects and trees, it's not really the place for boning everything in sight.

That's among the reasons we've told INH not to go to Anonkun. Still, if he wants to run Rance Quest finally, who are we to stop him?

>>28629608
Nope. We were due a day or two of R&R, and a chance to unfuck some of the fuckery still fucked back at the castle. I told INH a while back that the natural end to this arc would be going straight to the demon lord arc. And here we are.

Still fantastic, but they just keep extending and extending the tension on what the fuck is going to happen. Agatha just got teleported forward in time after a botched kidnapping attempt by the cousin of the red head, and now castle hetrodyne and the town are trapped in a time stop bubble and Wolfenbach's kid has gone nuts. It's awesome... just... you know, we need some fucking down time between crisises. They stop having their impact when it's one after a fucking nother.

Long silence reign amidst the party, the world itself feel still and bracing as you and Mylen look into each other eyes; her current struggle with Emeth is almost an afterthought as she look at you with the most clear, intense gaze you’ve ever seen in your entire life.
Not even in battle did she look so… so…

You aren’t sure how to describe it, but fear freeze your heart and you forget to take a breath as a realization dawn upon you; if you were to order her home, something will break inside of her fragile, fragile psyche. This ease… it’s not right, it’ll be far, far too easy to break this woman and that’s something only you can do.
Aaah… you feel like you’ve forgotten something simple, but very, very important about this unfortunate girl.

Siegfried Shieffer is a real blockhead.

Sweet talking doesn’t work on this woman at all!

And so you glance toward the golem and take in a deep breath after a long, long set of seconds finally passed.

"Emeth. I charge you to report what you saw during our time in the church camp truthfully and in as much detail as you can. Answer their questions except those pertaining to the reasons for our departure. Whether you decide to talk to only those you know, I’ll leave it to your judgment’’

One of Tsukiyomi wishes for Emeth… was that the girl grew into a proper individual; this task, this hurdle your placing upon her now will be one hell of a test, you can tell she doesn’t feel ready as an emotion of unease cloud her eyes, but determination follow and she nods vigorously, liberating Mylen who quickly scramble to her feet and jump back, massing her throat then inspect herself for weapons.

"I also want you to deliver three messages to Ame, to Athena and to Tsu. Tell Ame that her past can only define her so much as she lets it, and it's not as bad as she fears anyway. Tell Athena to be reassured, the path I walk ends with my return. And to Tsu, say that my actions stem from love, not betrayal. This won't get me out of trouble, but it should mean I get to sleep on the couch rather than in a dungeon…’’

You stop as she scratch the back of her head, eyes glazing over slightly then a frown from on her face and she nods meekly.
Well this is best you can get!

‘’Then you, Mylen, will accompany inside the Demon Lord Domain while Leila and Ithel will go back to Zipangu with Emeth. You will, in all likelihood, be jailed but this golem has powerful, powerful allies so your discomfort shouldn’t be too long.’’

The two humans nods in synch and exit the cockpit of the war machine, the little Alchemist knock on the dwarf face while Leila simply form a set of stair, she does murmur a ‘’be careful with her’’ as she passed you, to which you reassured with a tap on the shoulders.

‘’Aight aight gotta go fast peep! Got some report that the fluffy tails been moving in and out of the fortress with portals, so I’m going to aim for fort since that’s where the queen was last supposed to be’’

The she-goat spoke while uncorking a papyrus case and grab the paper therein… then narrows her eyes in the darkness and let go of her scythe to take her second magical item.

‘’Shit shit they’re here! Move fast!’’

Right on your right flanks you feel a burst of magic and potent winds straight into the forest, leveling the ground and cutting into the tree which in turn create a tornado of debris as something potent land, missing your position by a few tens of meters while to the north Arnvidur is rammed by a few uprooted trees; thankfully that old dwarf has enough experience and reflex to… quite literally, punch them out in midair despite his bulky body.

‘’Gogogo!’’

The Baphomet burns the two scrolls causing twin golden tears to cut and wound the very fabric of the world side by side, the left most one shows the inside of some fortifications in the dead of night with some people walking by, while the right one showed a scenery unique to your eyes; an almost literal ocean of some kind of…brown-orange substance sprawling unending with some uneven hills here and there.

‘’Gaagh!’’

A very human scream resound in the forest behind you, Mylen just threw her sword into the thickets and scored a hit, however she very, very quickly start running into the middle of the portal leading to the desert while the other three girls have already disappeared inside the fortress and so, with the ambush of your pursuers starting in earnest, you nudge Arnvidur toward your new destination… with a certain she-goat in tow.

-A Tale of monsters -92- end.

>>28630181
Damnit why can't Mylen be more... Stable is the way I'd put it. Friggin' Fey, fucking us over years after the fact. They should all burn far as I'm concerned but they likely fill a vital role in the environment.

Like killing all mosquitoes. Sounds great, until you ponder all the functions they serve.

>>28630181
Great thread. I don't say this often but I do enjoy your quests, itss jsut rather hard for me to think of ways to put input without fear of messing things up.

And thats a wrap.

Thanks for running iNH, wish I was here sooner.

Maybe if we come home with Blestia we can convince Hadraniel to take Siggy's side. I don't see Tsu making Siggy sleep in the dungeon or on the couch if he (and the oomukade) are crushed to death by fluffy wings.

Thanks for running INH, take care.

Puchi, if you're still on, how's Bunny Black going?

Well Siegfried is and always will be Mylen only weakness.

For anything else she's impossible to break, it's just Siegfried that really sneak in hard.

You guys really enjoy torturing your bodyguard huh?

>>28630237

Thank man, you can always feel free to suggest something when yo ufeel like it, I don't really reject stuff unless it's very out of place.

Just put it in. God knows I do. Let the hive mind take it where it will.

Trust your instincts they say, I do. I've had my options seconded frequently because of it, and have seconded other options in turn. Because let's admit, sometimes somebody has a better idea of where it should go than you do.

>>28630290
No. I don't. She is the LAST person I want to torture. But again, I'm of the operative's mindset.

"I do, if I have to."

BTW, I made the >>28622271 pastebin. I do wonder what you think of it.

>>28630290
I am!

>>28630290
>So who's excited to see the daugtheru back?
The question is, how excited will she be to see Siggy again?

Also you're the one who tortures Mylen, you wrote in her a co-dependent relationship and gave her the traumatic backstory. And next you're going to fuse her Guts personality with Casca.

Good work on that pastebin, it's Deruella themesong for sure.

Or maybe Daiyu in her old days.

Nah nah nah I'm not to blame, you guys like to make her hurt and cry because that's what being in a relationship is all about!

Hentai dungeon crawler. Pretty good art. Demon Queen (and daughter) are the best.

Didn't Daiyu have a husbando whom she loved above everything?

True, too bad he aint around anymore...

He's not dead

That maou is pretty cute too, but I still think Morrigan was the best faceclaim

>>28630392
Thanks. Deruella is one dark whore, but who says we can't some black comedy out of it? She came, she saw, she fucked everyone and achieved a true "boneularity" as it were. Lescatie was fucked, in more ways than one.

Plus hell, Voltaire is awesome.

>>28630392
>>28630392
kind of like seeing her so emotional, does that make me a bad person?

Still I understand her oath and her devotion to Siggy even if she's broken isn't it a bit much?

Not that I'm complaing, probably I need more....of what I do not know yet.

It's definetly a bit much, but she never really was one for moderation.

>>28630472

To think you've yet to meet Deruella face to face...

>>28630513
Her philosophy is indeed tempting. To come endlessly, to just be happy indulging in each other in our bodies...

Only the true thinker questions this, asks if an endless orgasm is truly worth all it would cost. Gotta love it. Love it when a story asks questions I would like to hear an answer to.

>>28630513
true, though I'm concerned whether if its love or rather just a lifeline for her since Mana is dead.

This is the kind of stuff they had to deal with during the Great Crusade

A bit of both.

Mana was her idol of sort but she did come to love Siggy eventually, isntead of faking it.

>>28630676
Always a good idea to get to know powerful people and get them on your side.

>>28630695
Indeed. Too bad she's kinda off her rocker. Oh well, she's only borderline yandere. They can still be redeemed as it were.

>>28630695
I think I like her more when she cries? This disturbs me.
But in all honesty I do feel Siggy may have to confront this issue sooner or later

>>28630676
What, seducing a highly trained Purifier out of an enemy camp before assassinating one of their leaders, followed by going to heal their most hated enemy?

I'm not sure if Mylen is Yandere, she wouldn't murder any of the girls for Siggy affection.

>>28630736

>I think I like her more when she cries? This disturbs me.

It should, she's a lovely girl.

>>28630740

Why would the heroes give two shit about that when their on Zipangu side?

>>28630767
Said "borderline", that means she isn't a "full" yandere. So yeah she won't kill them for flirting with him, but you can bet her previous promise still holds. She won't be happy until only her body (including the new wings) can satisfy him.

A real fucking shame she doesn't want kids. I would ever so love to see her training her own progeny in the arts of melee.
