Chapter 234 - Chapter 234 An Upgraded Sword

As Thomas and Hammer walked out of building Thomas was staring at the sword and asked "Did you really improve it?" Hammer nodded and said "Of course I did." Thomas stared at him and said "Are you sure cause it just feels heavier." Hammer nodded and said "That's What happens when you add mana to a sword like that one." As Thomas sheathed the sword Hammer said "Permanently adding mana to a weapon can make it stronger." Hammer smiled and said "That reminds me do you have a way I might be able to get ahold of you if your ever far away?" Thomas sighed and said "Unfortunately I do not." Thomas stared at him and said "Well I guess you could swing by the Eternal Flame guild and ask Jules or Sarah about the magical door frame." Hammer stared at him confused and asked "What does that have to do with getting a hold of you?" Thomas shrugged and said "It's a dimensional gateway to my subconscious so I'm likely to stop by every now and then." As three women and a man in chains approached Thomas one of the women said "We've gotten word that you started a guild in our territory." Thomas glanced at Hammer and asked "Who the hell are they?" Hammer stared at them and said "Probably another guild, they probably wanna wipe your guild out and the quickest way to do that is to kill their leader." Thomas walked past the three women and said "Go away, we can do this tomorrow I'm too tired right now." The women pushed the man in front of them and onto the ground. The man was beaten up and had bruises up and down his body. Thomas stared at the man and asked "What the hell happened to you?" The man glanced at Thomas and said "Please you have to help me." The three women smiled as one of them said "Get up and transform now." The man stared at Thomas and said "I'm sorry, but I can't disobey them or the deal they placed on me might kill me." As the man began to transform into a werewolf Thomas said "It's been a while since I've seen this." Thomas glanced up into the sky and said "Werewolves are stronger at night right?" One of the women pointed at Thomas and said "Kill him now!" The werewolf raised his claws above his head and slammed them down into the ground. Thomas moves out of the way and watched as the ground cracked. Thomas scratched the back of his head and mumbled "Damn this makes things complicated, technically he's still a person so I probably shouldn't kill him, besides he's being forced against his will." Thomas walked past the werewolf avoiding its claws as he said "Yo ladies don't you think it's a bit unfair to have him fight your battles." As one of them pulled a sword out of thin air Thomas said "If your gonna come at me you better do it with a lot more then this." As she swung her sword Thomas swung his once and broke the blade of her sword clean off. Thomas put his sword away and said "If you leave now and give up you can save yourselves a lot of time." As the werewolf grabbed Thomas from behind and held him the other two women pulled out both a hammer and a bow. Thomas glanced at the werewolf and said "This isn't a bad plan." Thomas began to walk towards them dragging the werewolf with him as he said "However u could less about all of this." Thomas thrusted his arms to his sides pushing the werewolf off of him as he said "Seriously though if you wanna give me a hard time you'll have to do better." As the other woman slammed the hammer down on top of Thomas he blocked it using his arm. Once the hammer made contact Thomas shook his arm and said "Not bad but you'll need about another one hundred pounds before that does anything." Thomas glanced at the woman with the bow and said "How about you, give me your best shot." As the arrow came towards him and landed in his shoulder he said "Nice you actually managed to get some damage in." Thomas pulled the arrow out and said "If you don't have any other tricks though I'd prefer to end this now." The woman with the broken sword glanced at the woman with the hammer and said "Get ready!" As she lifted the hammer above her head the women with the broken sword aimed her hand at the hammer and said "Your screwed now!" Thomas glanced at the werewolf who was no backing up extremely far. As Thomas turned back around he seen that the hammer was now ten times larger and being brought down onto him. Thomas grabbed his sword and smiled as he said "Its about time you make things a little more interesting!" Thomas swung the sword rapidly and cut the hammer into dozens of smaller pieces. Thomas began to walk towards the three ladies as he smiled and said "You got anything else?" As the three of them began to back up Hammer walked towards Thomas and said "Maybe you should let them go, it wouldn't be good if you angered the higher ups of their guild." Thomas glared at the three women and said "I'll let them go on one condition." The three women covered their chests as they said "He's a perverted demi human who wants our bodies." Thomas stared at them now confused as he asked "Wait what?" The women continued to back further away as they said "We refuse to fall prey to you." Thomas pointed to the werewolf and said "Just free him from the seal I don't give a damn what happens to you three." The women glanced at each other and said "Of course, we'll free him so long as you let us go." Thomas walked up to them and said "Just remember, killing you had the same effect as removing it, so if I find out you didn't remove the seal I'll track down each of you and kill you." The three women stared at him held onto each other as they said "Scary!" Thomas glanced at Hammer and said "We're done here we can move on." Hammer smiled and said "Do you wanna get drinks to celebrate?" Thomas stared at him and asked "Celebrate what?" Hammer smiled and said "I kinda just wanna drink with you while I celebrate the sword finally being pulled up and me getting the chance to improve it." As they walked away Thomas glared at the three women and said "Remember what we agreed to." The three women stood up and nervously walked over to the werewolf man as they said "We need to find someone who can undo this slave seal pronto." As Thomas and Hammer sat down at the Eternal Flame guild's tavern Thomas glanced at Hammer and said "I'd like to avoid drinking, if that's okay with you." Hammer stared at him and said "Seriously, What kind of man doesn't drink?" Thomas looked away and said "The kind that might get drunk and overthrow an entire kingdom." Hammer stared at him and said "You overthrow a kingdom?" Thomas looked away and said "Not exactly the kingdom however I did fight with a king while drunk." Hammer smiled and said "You gotta fell me more about this story!" Thomas looked away and said "Yeah let's not talk about that, its a bit embarrassing." As Sarah set down drinks in front of them Hammer said "Well then get to drinking because if you won't tell me I'll have to see for myself what your like drunk." Sarah stared at Thomas and said "I'm pretty curious myself." Sarah smiled and said "I have an idea, I heard there would be a drinking competition in the center of the city near the fountain, why not go there and drink to your hearts content, and if you win it'll help spread word of the guild and you could win the grand price of ten gold coins." Thomas glanced at Hammer and asked "Is she serious?" Hammer nodded and said "Yeah, a bunch of guilds have been talking about it, I'm actually pretty surprised you didn't know." Sarah stared at Thomas and said "So how about it?" Thomas sighed and said "Your just gonna Lester me until I agree aren't you?" Sarah nodded and said "Yeah I am so let's just skip ahead to part where you accept and go get wasted while winning." Thomas laid his head down on the table and mumbled "Are you seriously counting on me to win this?" Sarah smiled and said "Of course not it's a guild thing, so I'm gonna have Jules join you." Sarah pushed the beer towards Thomas and said "They'll be counting every cup from every guild, since it's a team thing you two will have to out drink everyone else." Thomas picked up the cup and said "I'm not drinking until I'm wasted but I guess I'll participate."
