It has been a full month since the fight and both Felix and Nicolas were now Outer Disciples of the section. Nicklaus was immediately admitted to the Defense and Offense secure while Felix was a rare class. He was actually admitted in both the Apothecary secure and Defense and Offense sector. He still remembered how Nicklaus reacted.
"You're in two sectors at the sametime, huh? My friend, the MC side is calling you hard. Next, the top Outer Discipline will hear about this and he will be from the Apothecary Sector, he will challenge you to a brewing match with him which you will face slap him then a young girl will fall in love with you or you will find the girl you met while escaping and fall in love with each other.''
"Sometimes i really think that you are just too thickskinned to know I don't like to hear your nonsense," Felix said with a sigh.
At the present, they were going to the mission board to see what kind of mission they were to take. On Felix's side was the bubbly girl, Sophia Lecrue. She had joined the two on account being friends with Felix.
"I hope we get to pick herbs," she said in her jovial tone.
"I hope we get to fight a dragon. I haven't seen or fought one," Nicklaus said with a savage look on his eyes. Felix punched him hard on his head.
"Not everyone is a freak like you," he scolded him. Nicklaus looked at him, a little aggressively then looked at Sophia beside him and then looked like he had epiphany.
"Yosh, can't have your wife dying on us now can we. So, we gonna take a mission behind her back and fight a dragon while she is skipping in a field of lillie's?" he asked most innocently. That automaticslly guaranteed another smack on his head.
"She's not my wife and no way in hell and heaven am I going to fight a dragon with you or even alone," Felix roared at him.
"I thought we brothers should stick together. Sophia is a big girl, she can carry a basket of herbs on her own," Nicklaus said.
"Nicklaus, heard you have been trying to get the hallmadter to give you a mission of subduing a Level Six beast, is that true?" a boy dressed in heavy armor asked him.
"Yep, but the stingy man still carries grievances of when I defeated him. Tch, cheap bastard," Nicklaus cursed.
"You will be glad to know that the Sector has decided to give you the mission," the boy said. Nicklaus suddenly gave a loud cheer that made every one look at him in surprise.
"Where is the beast?" he asked, excitedly.
"Well, there has been a hydra sighting in a village Southwest of here about three hundred miles. The villagers reported that it had a rider on it...Oi oi, wait till I finish first before running off to fight it. Jeez, what an airhead!" the boy said in wonder as the figure of Nicklaus disappeared in the horizon.
"To be fair, you lost him when you gave him the direction. That's why we decided to give him directions later in case we were fighting a strong enemy," Sophia said with a sigh.
"I have to go and make sure he doesn't destroy the whole place in his moment of enjoyment. Sophia, could you submit our names for the mission as I try to catch up with the big idiot," Felix said as he took off too. He was now at the threshold of breaking through to be a Master Level expert so he can run faster and for a longer distance before tiring himself out. Even though he has no hopes of catching up to a battle driven battleminiac, he could atleast not be too much of a let down.
It took Nicklaus approximately ten minutes to arrive at the swamp and that's because he got lost a few times. When he arrived though, he found the swamp surrounded by people in weird clothes. One of them saw him approaching and alerted the others.
"We cannot let an outside watch as we sacrifice the sinners to our Lord, kill him," a fat man in white and red robes said. Suddenly, everyone but him was armed with knives.
"Whoa, hold on there, brosef. I am from the Heavenly Apothecary Sect. I have come to vanquish the hydra that was spotted here," Nicklaus explained but all he did was add fuel to the fire.
"You hear that! This heretic wants to kill Our lord! His blasphemous words should be punished by death! Get him, cut him, kick him, punch him and bite him. He should regret thinking badly about our Lord," the robbed fatty said. Everyone suddenly rushed towards Nicklaus with the intent to kill. Suddenly, the fatty saw a sudden flash of pale blue light then all his followers fell down like toys with no strings. Blood started flowing and soon, the ground had a new colour. The fatty fell on his ass in shock and fright.
"Great expert, I did not recognize a great figure like yourself was passing by. Please forgive me for being rude to you," he begged as he started sobbing. Nicklaus squatted in front him with a smile on his face.
"I have been wondering what to do about you, fatty. Now I know, I am going to torture you. But the torture I am going to torture you with will be the worst torture that no one has everybody tortured with in the history if torturing. So I really hope you did not have a heavy lunch," Nicklaus growled. Suddenly, the swamp's surface rippled as a massive head like a snake's appeared then it was followed by five more. They were approaching land and fast. Nicklaus momentarily forgot about the fatty as he got up, excited waiting for the hydro to fully emergency. The fatty took this chance to bitch about Nicklaus to his Lord so he scrambled to his feet and ran to the hydra.
"My Lord, this loyal servant has been loyal to you all my life. Today, I was going to sacrifice to you when that heretic arrived and..."CHOMP! In one bite, the fat man was gone as the head of the hydra lifted his body that it had been bit nearly into half. The head next to it saw the lower part of fatty sticking out it launched forward and ripped the part of the body part and into its stomach. Nicklaus took a cold deep breath in.
"Kamikaze! he said in remembrance of the fatty. The hydra then turned towards him. "Hi, I'm Nicklaus and I am here to subjugate you. Now, we can do this the easy way where you moosy on out of here or the second option where we fight to the death. I really hope you take the second option, my whole body is itching for a good fight." The hydra roared back at him. "Okay, but if I kill you, you started it." Nicklaus charged at the hydra before he suddenly grew four metres, six arms and four eyes.
"This should be about your size," Nicklaus said before he roasted at the hydra then tired and attacked.
