Sigh... these people are fucking weird.
I don't know anyone here except the 3 amigos of Dice, Anise, and I... as well as our escort Mordova.
Didn't she say earlier that I should of stayed in her castle or whatever until my passives wear off? What happened to that?
/\ Whatever, I hope we can get through this soon. Honestly, I can see why Mordova is so desperate to get drunk... being a god seems kinda boring. /\
C-Crimson? Why are you still here?
/\ You expect me to NOT show up to this party? /\
F... fine.
??? - " Alright, next with the second order of business... Prophet Oru? "
The man in the muiti colored robe spoke -
Prophet Oru - " Yes, I'm here replacing my mentor as Prophet... I had already done my first Vision. "
??? - " Would you please speak to the council about what you saw? "
Oru - " Its about the Fire Crusader actually, I had the vision of his removal and his replacement. It will be a young red haired girl, she was of the elven race, an NPC too. That's about it. "
??? - " Very well, Akko Akko shall be tasked with finding the candidate in the elven villages. "
Akko Akko - " Understood, I'll begin the search right away compadre. "
??? - " Call us by names please, you remember my name right? "
Akko Akko - " Can tell ya, absolutely not. "
??? - " It's Kirigami "
Akko Akko - " Gotcha. "
Kirigami - " Alright next up, Mordova again? "
Mordova - " Yes, I'd like to announce I've found the perfect person to be the Tundra Crusader. He sits next to me currently, along with his two tamed creatures. "
Kirigami - " That's great news, would he like to introduce himself? "
Ahh shit... well, improv time.
Me - " My name is Avery. Account wise I'm Cobalt, previously it was Crimson. I'm a Planar Hitman, level 47+, my level has been reset 2 times total now. My titles include "Blood King" and "Divine Craftsman". My girls helped me exterminate the Brimstone Crusader at Mordova's Command. These are my two girls - "
Dice - " Hiya! I'm Dice, I once was just a level 1 Cultipede before Master Killed all of the Ants in AntHille, I followed him afterwards and luckily he gave me a chance at becoming stronger. Now I'm a Minor Ice Goddess at level 98 and about to evolve again! Good to meet you! "
Anise - " I am... Anise... Level 39... Minor Ice... Goddess... I was once... an event boss.... Master slain me... and I was... reborn under him... I grew today along... my elder sister... Dice... nice to meet you..."
Kirigami - " Alright then, I guess it's proper to introduce you to the other Crusader. Ahem. Jujigun? "
The man next to Kirigami spoke...
Jujigun - " I just hope he isn't a defect like the last one, I'm Jujigun Kishi. Are you a player by chance? "
Me - " Yes, I am of the Player Base. "
Jujigun - " You'd be the first, Gods and Crusaders aren't usually Players... the Dragon God doesn't particularly like your kind so I've heard. "
Me - " I've met him before though, he seemed quite nice. Gave a friend of mine a blessing when I made a staff for her. "
Collective - " WHAT!?!??! "
Me - " Yeah? What's wrong? "
Mordova - " Well, everyone! That's actually for the next order of business... so we'll start that right away then if that's fine Kirigami? "
Kirigami - " Of course... wow. "
Mordova - " Alright, well I guess I'll explain it in short. My father resurfaced from the center of the earth during the crafting of a staff weapon, made by Cobalt here for a friend of his named Luriel. When she matures a little bit and fully understands her blessings I plan on having her join as a Crusader. It doesn't matter what type I believe. "
Kirigami - " Cobalt made a weapon strong enough to warrant the attention of your father? "
Mordova - " Yes, I've seen his creations and strength. He has even created 2 unique equipment types, and about 3 or so Unique Items. Currently he is wearing a unique set. If you'd please show them off Cobalt? "
Uh... fuck. Ok.
System, equip my set and activate my wings.
Confirmed |
Immediately a chilling aura washed over me again as I put on the set, it still feels refreshing as ever to wear this... actually that gives me an idea for later...
Jujigun - " What beautiful armor, it's perfectly designed... and I can only assume it's effects in battle, how many passives does it have? 3? 5?
Me - " 13 total not including my gun. "
Jujigun - " You use a gun? Aren't those really impractical to have to make ammo for? "
Me - " I just crafted a cartridge? They allow to have any ammo in infinite quantity? I mean reloading is still a thing but whatever. I can also use a Sword and Magic."
Jujigun - " Is that the benefit of Planar Hitman? "
Me - " No, I only get gun usage from that, I can summon other guns with it too I guess. "
Mordova - " Take out the gun. "
Alright... system take out the gun?
Confirmed |
In an instant, the gun appeared in my hands... the aura of cold once again increased too, I think it's affected our neighbors now.
Me - " I based the design off of something from my world, it's similar to a P90 with it's topside feed and specialised rounds, beyond that body is similar of that of a ux67, with unique chambering procedures I'm not legally able to talk about. The barrel is similar of a Machine guns, made for sustain fire and high velocity rounds. At the end of the rifle was supposed to be similar to a compensator... redundant design wise, but eventually it did improve the quality of the weapon due to my unique forge technique. "
Mordova - " I set up a small arena to show how powerful Cobalt and his gear truly is. Jujigun, would you like to fight Cobalt for a little bit? "
Jujigun - " A fight? Of course! I'm always looking for a good fight! "
Now Warping : Arena |
... fuck.
" LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, WE HAVE A SPECIAL VIEWING HERE PREPARED JUST FOR TONIGHT! GET YOURSELF COZY, BECAUSE ITS GOING TO BE ONE HELL OF A BATTLE! GODDESS MORDOVA OF ICE AND GOD KIRIGAMI OF LIGHT HAVE SENT THEIR CHAMPIONS HERE TO FIGHT TO TEST OUT THE NEEWWWWW CRUSDAAA!!!!! "
ouch that's kinda loud.
So, I guess we're in a giant arena... gladitorial in nature, lots of NPCs and Players line the gladitorial pit I'm in right now, the Sandy ground is freezing beneath me as we speak due to the sheer amount of Ice Mana around me.
The crowd cheers in excitement, and the countdown begins...

how did all these people get here already

I want to go home

- Fight! -
Activate all my passives please system, and summon my turrets too.
Confirmed |
Ice exploded across the arena... I can't see the whole way through the arena due to its sheer size, as I notice more and more details as the air gets colder around me... gradually at first but then it skyrockets as my turrets start firing huge chunks of ice towards any ground not covered in ice.
Ice climbs throughout the entirety of the arena, onto the stands and almost reaching the audience before being stopped by a barrier.
System.... activate blue Ice.
Confirmed |
Warning : Hail Strom is being created due to snap freeze. |
Warning : Mana Overflow, Ice Mana has reached peak amounts nearby, summoning temporary friendly snow monsters to compensate. |
}{ Enemy Detected, firing }(
Creatures summoned: 84x Frost Spectre, 34x Glacial Snakes, 16x Snow Wyrms, 1x Winter Shogun |
}{ Attacks deemed ineffective, Fusing }{
The large amount of creatures fully manifested in front of me as the turrets fired off at something in the distance...
The Winter Shogun was a giant samurai like man in full white armor.
The Snow Wyrms, were smaller and less powerful varients of the Dragon type Glacial and Frost Wyrms.
The glacial snakes where 18 meter long snakes made entirely out of ice.
The Frost Specters were young, poorly dressed men and women with white hair that slightly floated above the ground, armed with kitchen knives and farm tools.
- Father, I shall lead your children into battle for you... stay safe. -
The Shogun, I believe, sent me that message in my mind... but it was similar to a voice mail. Because he left before I got it.
...
I guess it's a fight then.
