"So they wiped them out?" Asked Verkonis.
"Yes master. Not only did they take out the army attacking Osval, but they also split up and defeated the other armies as well."
"What?! They split up?" Asked Verkonis in shock.
"Yes master. Each of them managed to singlehandedly destroy an army of our God Level monsters."
"Impossible! You told me that they're only High Level. So you lied to me." Said Verkonis, filling up with rage.
"N-No master! I would never lie to you." Said the man bowing down.
"He…he…he…ha ha ha ha ha!!!" Laughed a certain man.
Verkonis turned around and looked at him.
"Did you find something amusing, Serbus?"
"Oh nothing. Just the fact that you seem a bit scared. That's all."
Verkonis moved closer to him.
"Me? Afraid of what?" Asked Verkonis coming face to face with the chained up Serbus. His large, muscular body towered over Serbus. His long black hair, red flaming eyes and large figure would terrify anyone.
"Afraid of the fact that your little plan of total domination will fail. Afraid that all your life's work was all in vain. Afraid of….losing." Said Serbus, smiling at Verkonis' angered expression.
Verkonis then launched at Serbus and grabbed him by the neck.
"If you weren't of use to me, I would squash you like an insect. Do you really think I would be scared of a few children who managed to take out a few monsters? Did you forget that not even you, the great Serbus, whose name and heroic deeds have spread to different worlds, could take me down?" Said Verkonis. He then got right into Serbus' face. "Don't forget why I still keep you alive. Once I've sucked out all of your power and transferred it to me, there won't be a being in the universe who will stand up to me. So don't put your hopes up on those children. I'll be meeting them soon enough." Said Verkonis, letting go of Serbus' neck and turning to his servant. "As for you, keep watching those humans. Find out everything about them."
"Yes master. As you wish." Said the man. As he switched off the communication spell, he then looked at the sky and sighed. "This task is proving to be quite difficult. I really hope I'm not found out." Said the man as he flew up towards Osval.
*****************
"Welcome to our Guild. I'm the guild master, Ryuzan. I have already been informed about your arrival." Said the guild master as he welcomed the ten into his office.
"Thank you sir." Said the ten as they came in and sat down.
"Now let's get straight to business. First if all, I presume you all are going to be one party, right?"
"Yes. That's right." Said Recon.
"Alright. Then each of you take this form and fill out your personal information. Then take this other form and fill it out with information regarding your party. Also, choose an adventurer class that suits you the most."
The ten looked over the classes that were before them. On the form were five different classes. Knight, Assassin, Healer, Mage, and Tank. And each class came with one skill at random. The way it would be decided, is by touching a magical orb which would choose the skill for the person.
Nux and Dono became Assassins. Briggs and Evan became Knights. Tekking and Animak became Tanks. Hirito and Recon became Mages. And SOS and Johnny became Healers.
Nux got the skill Shadow Movement, which allowed him to move through shadows. Dono got the skill Silent Step, which would allow him to move without making a single sound. Briggs got the skill True Knight, which would give him the ability to wield a Holy Sword. Evan got the skill Lightning Strike, which would allow him to strike at incredible speeds for five minutes. Tekking got the skill Absorber, which would allow any shield to absorb any magic attack three times. Animak got the skill Impenetrable, which allows him to nullify any attack from any enemy being for three minutes. Hirito got the skill Reflector, which allows him to reflect any magic attack sent towards him back at the enemy with the condition of the enemy being of the same class as him or lower. Recon got the skill Tamer, which would allow him to tame any magical beasts. SOS got the skill Ray of Life, which would allow him to instantly heal a person on the brink of death. Johnny got the skill Sanctuary, which would allow him to create a healing zone around him which would heal anyone that is in the zone.
"Wow. Those skills sure sound awesome." Said Animak.
"My word. Never in my life have I seen this sort of thing." Said the guild master.
"What do you mean?" Asked Evan.
"All of your skills are considered Spirit Level skills and above. They are quite rare. Especially the skills True Knight, Reflector and Ray of Life. Those three are considered Angel Level. And your IDs say that all of you are just High Levels."
"Seriously? Are they really that amazing?" Asked Tekking.
"Amazing is quite the understatement. For instance, Miss Briggs is a True Knight. And those with that skill have the ability to wield a Holy Sword. In this world, there are ten Holy Swords. Terium, Asteria, Fereria, Grivia, Percium, Altravia, Leoxteria, Divora, Sverosa and Excalibur. So far, only six of them have been found. The remaining four are Altravia, Terium, Divora and Excalibur."
"Is there anything special about wielding a holy sword?" Asked Briggs.
"You mean you don't know? Each sword has a unique and special ability. Terium has the ability to control the weather itself. With a single swing, it is said to cause major natural disasters. Divora is said to be able to devour anything in its path. With Altravia, the user is able to summon an army of angels. And Excalibur is said to cut through anything. Including magic."
"You mean the other swords can't cut through magic?" Asked Evan.
"No. Only Excalibur has that ability. But the power of the holy swords doesn't stop there. It is said that when all the swords come together under one user, they will all fuse into one. Nobody has ever been able to accomplish such a feat."
"How so?" Asked Hirito.
"Because nobody has ever found the last four swords." Said Ryuzan.
"I see." Said Briggs.
"Way to go Briggo. You got yourself a pretty awesome skill there." Said Nux, slapping Briggs on the back.
"Well then, let's finish up with the forms and get on with some adventuring." Said Dono.
"Hey guys, for the party name, how does "The Moe Crew" sound?" Asked Animak.
"That sounds good. I mean, we've always been The Moe Crew, haven't we?" Asked Johnny.
"We sure have." Said SOS.
The ten then went on to finish filling up their forms. Once they were done, the guild master congratulated them and welcomed them once again to the guild. With that, the ten stood up and left the office. Ryuzan looked over the forms once again. After reading the forms more carefully, his eyes widened with shock when he read that all ten of them had all six types of elemental magic.
"Who in the world are those girls?" Said the guild master to himself as he looked towards the door.
As they opened the door to leave the office, they noticed that everyone in the guild's main hall was very quiet.
"So that's them?" Whispered one.
"Yeah." Whispered another.
"Wow. Another True Knight, Reflector user and Ray of Light user? It's been a while since anyone has gotten those skills." Whispered another.
"Looks like everyone knows about our skills." Said Hirito.
"Hey. Look on the bright side. We're famous now." Said Evan.
"That's true. This way, we can use our fame to advertise The Moe Café." Said Johnny.
"Before we do that, how about we pick up our first quest?" Asked Recon who was looking at the quest board.
"What quests do they have on there?" Asked Animak.
"Well let's see. Slaying fifty goblins, escorting a caravan, collect five hundred slime ores, slaying a black dragon, raid an orc camp. Wow. There's quite a lot of them." Said Recon.
"How about the dragon one? That sounds pretty cool." Said Nux.
"I would suggest an easier one." Said a man, walking towards the ten followed by two others.
The ten turned around and saw three adventurers standing behind them. The one who seemed like the leader, was tall man with short black hair. He wore golden armor and a beautiful red sword on his back. The man standing to his right, was bald and wore a large silver armor and had a large silver sword and shield on his back. While the one on the left was a very lovely lady. She had black hair with a few blue strands. She wore a dark blue robe with a dark blue witch hat. She also had a silver staff with a red orb at its tip.
"Hey. Are you guys seeing this?" Whispered an adventurer.
"Exforia's top three are actually talking to them." Whispered another.
"This is insane." Whispered another.
"Top three?" Asked Hirito, wondering what those adventurers were talking about.
"Oh don't mind them." Said the man in the middle. "I'm Gigguk. And they are Mastar and Aki." Said Gigguk, introducing themselves.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you." Said Aki.
"Finally? Have you heard about us?" Asked SOS.
"Who hasn't heard about you? The twenty six newcomers that came into town with Melody." Said Mastar.
"Well, given who Melody is, the rumors spread like wildfire." Said Aki.
"I see. So what did you mean by taking an easier one?" Asked Evan.
"I meant that you should take an easier quest than the dragon one. You guys just became adventurers, so going to slay a dragon is quite much, don't you think?" Said Gigguk.
"And a black dragon at that." Said Mastar.
"So how about you guys do the goblins one. Seeing how there are ten of with some pretty decent gear, not to mention top notch skills, you guys should be fine." Said Aki.
"And the pay is quite good. Ten thousand vir for slaying those goblins is pretty good, don't you think?
"Sounds reasonable. Alright. We'll take it then. Thank you. Oh and sorry for the late introduction. I'm Animak. And these are Nux, Evan, Hirito, Briggs, Tekking, Dono, Johnny, SOS and Recon."
"It's great to meet you all. Now I believe it's time for you to head out. We'll talk more when you get back." Said Gigguk.
"We sure will. See you guys later." Said Evan as he and the others left the guild.
"They're quite the interesting bunch, wouldn't you say?" Asked Mastar.
"They sure are." Said Aki.
"The ten girls with Spirit and Angel Level skills. Not to mention the tenth True Knight." Said Gigguk as he touched his sword and smiled.
"It's been a while since I've seen you this excited." Said Mastar.
"Well can you blame me? Looks like Melody picked up a pretty interesting bunch. I wonder what the others are like." Said Gigguk as he picked up the black dragon slaying quest. "Come on. It's time to get to work."
