High Streets Of Marcilina's Town
Fuck fuck fuck, now there's a goddess who wants me dead, and not even a minor goddess but a strong one!
"Wait so what do you mean Marcilina wants to kill you? I thought everything was fine with you two?"
Hearing DC say that as we were rushing out of town.
"Nope, you can say me and my dad are on her kill list!"
"I'm confused? WHAT GODDESS?!" Emily
"I'll fill you in" Mari
"And now she want to kill you?" Karin
"Exactly"
"But she seemed so nice?" One of Sora's boys
"Wait then why are we leaving? Let's kill her!" Ursula
But hearing her I stopped, causing the groups to too.
"No, she's too strong. Wait where's Kasumi?!"
"Bruh, I'm back here" Kasumi
"Oh..."
Hearing her and looking back and seeing her, I guess she came back earlier? Good. Seeing her, I continued on with Mari, Emily, and the Necromancers next to me.
"Wait so who's your dad?" DC
"He's a Holy Paladin of Nefumia" Mari butted in.
"No that's your dad, mines the Ice Barron, Asmodeus"
"No, we have the same—" Mari
"No, we don't..."
"Trust me I wish we both had Paul as a dad"
"But—?" Mari
"I'll fill you in later, just drop it for now"
"Wait so does your parent have history with her?" DC
"Apparently he almost killed her and left her for dead"
"Damn! That's hardcore! Your dad's awesome!" Urusla
"No, he's a pain the ass"
Getting filled in, "Wait?! Y'all met a living GoDeSs!"
Everyone, "Yep," "Sorta," "Kinda," "She's hot," the majority spoke out with similar responses.
"Hey remember that place you woke up, yeah, that was her temple, she took your place by shapeshifting into you and tricking us" Mari
"HUH!" Emily
"Wait where was I when that happened!" Kasumi
"You 5 along with Hiro disappeared, when we found Hiro in some alley, he figured her out as not Emily?"
"You did? How" Emily
"I have a good sense of smell" I lied without hesitatin.
"Holy fuck... That's crazy" Emily
"You're telling us? That was the first of two things that we witnessed from Hiro here since we've been in this town" Karin said and jumped in before exposed!
"Yuh! It's this town though! It's making us crazy!"
"You can say that again, I fucking hate it here" Urusla
"Agreed" the rest of the Demon girls.
"We thought it was strange too?" Iris's pet.
"Yeah, plus it's empty?" Grace, my pet.
"It's supposed to be packed with zombies?"
"That's what we thought too" Karin
"And yet it's not so let's go before they come back!"
"Agreed" many other members in our new party.
. . . . .
Hurrying out of town, we walked past this area that looks as if there was a big battle. But when we saw it I threw up as there had been many centipedal freaks.
They were dead and all over them were humans who were just as dead. It seemed as if they clashed and both sides lost or the other left after the battle or merely one side ran away; the other followed.
But I knew what this was.
It was supposed to be the ghoul trap for us.
Yet the ghouls didn't know about the freak hive and were ambushed, I was going to use this event to kill Mari to free myself but I guess there's always a later.
And what I mean by that is if I can't get her to lift this damn slavery curse on me or make a promise to do it to me, I'm using the last event to murder her dead.
Two months that's all I'm staying enslaved.
After that I'm joining the enemies if I'm still like this.
But if I get free from them before then I'll continue with my plans and free life, with just plotting against Asmodeus because I'm still mad at that dude.
It's a grudge I'm never going to drop.
Not until I get back at him for everything.
This isn't something that can be reasoned with words.
. . . . .A Few Hours Later. . . . .
Getting to the outside of the city, it's walls were made from practically tin, or armored and strengthened usin it because the texture of it didn't look that well built?
"I'm just telling you now, we should wait outside" DC
Dark Candy whispered into my ear and confusing me as she was very against coming to this place? But I had no idea why? Oh wait no I think I know why?!
"If your here it'll be a quick in and out"
But completely voiding her suggestion we kept walkin and she groaned as she fell back to where the girls an their new pets were to pout, meanwhile I looked over.
"So? Who exactly are we here to get?"
Asking that, Mari looked to me and said.
"The 3 brother of the bright forge, Horrus, Hyrin, and Haden Natsu, and possibly someone named Levi who is their unofficial brother, he's their half brother"
Wait I thought we came here for only 1 Natsu?
That's what she and Emily said back over in Rosa?
"So we're escorting Natsu clansmen to Rosa Marine?"
"Yeah, recently one of our master blacksmiths and their clan were butchered, so we need to replace the blacksmith in our town due to the blacksmith guild"
"Blacksmith guild? Wait but what do they have to do with the town, and there's a guild for that here?"
"Yeah, the guild's located in the capital and due to our town being inportant to the crown, and having his and her majesty located in our town, we need our military and slayers to be armed with the best weapons"
"That doesn't make sense? Why would the Natsu clan help the crown, also, the king and queen are in Rosa?"
"Huh? No, I mean prince Alexander and princess Luna Greenwyn, also our clan is heavily involved with royal affairs, we're Nefumia's sword when needed"
"But I thought the clan didn't listen to the Royals"
"We do but we don't, but we kind of owe them"
"Makes more sense then the Mana ordering it"
"Ah, so that's what you were thinking?"
"Bruh, I cut that deity off a while ago..."
"YOU WHAT!?"
Turning away from Mari as she was dumbfounded, I was getting tired and yawned as I looked to how the others were doing, DC was still pouting, Karin was fine, Emily was evesdropping, the girls were chatting, and then the pets were in between the all of us.
But just as I was looking away, Mari came in front of me and grabbed me turning me to her, "THE HELL YOU MEAN YOU CUT OFF THE MANA, HIRO!"
But as she was screaming at me and it startled the group, I shoved her away and as she was surprised by that I kept walking and turned to her flipping her off.
"First off. Fuck you"
"Secondly, I refuse to serve anyone who keeps me as their slave, weather that be you or a higher power"
"Lastly, I make my own path, even if that means I have to get rid of everyone in my way, including you"
Putting my hand back down I turned away from her and kept walking while saying, "Fucking asshole, I'm sick and tired of you people. Forcing me to come on some stupid mission, trying to screw with my life again, don't blame me when you wake up dead"
I was no longer under the affects of the town.
But I was sour from all of what conspired.
Looking In front of me I could finally see people and a gate, we were so close to getting into that walled city, then all I had to do was walk back to Rosa and...
What's after?
I guess freeing myself and practice that spider string technique? Which I don't even want to do anymore.
But I'mma be honest I still want Nara as my teacher.
Walking to the gates with Mari angry but not saying anything back to me, suddenly as I got a yard from the metal walls, I paused, tensed up and froze.
I can't... Move...
Emily and Mari walked past me greeting the Gate Guard, and then so did Karin, but as the girls got to my level, trying to walk past me they stopped too.
"What the hell, I can't move?" Urusla
"Step back" Rika
"WHAT???" Urusla
"If you can't keep moving forward, back up" Rika
"It worked!" Ursula
"Yeah, it did?" Iris
"I'm unstuck?" Sora
"That's crazy" Kasumi
"What the fuck just happened?" Rika
Hearing them as I was still stuck, I moved my fut back and it worked, I took a step back and I was unstuck.
And in doing that, the others who didn't get stuck turned around as they got to the gates, "Hey, what are y'all doing? Come in" one of the pets said.
But in saying that to us, the girls grew silent, I guess they didn't know how to explain this to them?
So as I looked back at them as they did look confused, I looked back to them and then over to Mari who was behind Emily who was getting her ID check by the guards. And seeing how things played out I said.
"Hey, we're going to stay out here, you guys come back with the others and we'll travel together!"
But saying that, Dark Candy turned around as she was one of the last ones to join them in line, "The hell are you waiting for, just come on!" she yelled.
But as she said that I tried pushing the air, but I couldn't fully extent my hand out and I tried hitting the air but every time I got halfway I my arm froze up.
"YEAH... That's going to be a little difficult..."
I said sarcastically and looking to her my tail swayed around irritated, and seeing me like this, she frowned and then walked up to me, getting right Infront of me.
"Why?!"
But hearing her say that as she didn't seem to get it.
I put my hands on my hips and said quietly.
"I think this place is Anti-Demon, I can't seem to take another step without freezing up, it's bazzar?"
And hearing me say that, her expression did a whole flip around and she gasped, "Really??? Holy crap that exists? I thought the church was always bullshitting?"
I didn't get what she meant but I guess the church...
The church might be a major issue, well it already is?
Not the point though, but it means I can't get in.
"You two stop flirting and come on!"
Hearing Mari's voice, I twisted over looking to her as she was looking at us and as DC's expression changed, I said over to Mari I couldnt.
"Can't do! You two get the others and we'll plan a new route to make it to Nefumia since we can't take the last one due to that crazy goddess!"
I said and hearing me, she shook her head and turned back around, saying, "Whatever" and then showing the guard her ID to get in easier and fast than others.
. . . . .
With her doing that, Karin came out of line and walked over to us, "Wait so we're taking another route, but did she not only want to kill you? Why do we have to come with you when we can just go back the same way?"
Karin said and I frowned at her dumb, dumb words.
Facing her, "Someone with your powers is on the top of her kill list, the only ones she won't kill in our party is probably the humans with us" I told her bluntly.
"But we are human?" DC
"You two don't count"
And so talking to them, I heard the others discussing behind me, but then out of nowhere I heard a pet, "So you're not coming inside? It's dangerous out here?"
I heard one of the pets saying that and looking over the five of them didn't follow either Mari or Emily?
And seeing that and that it was just the 13 of us now, I turned back to the girls and said, "So what do you guys wanna do now? Wanna just wait?"
But just as I said that, someone shoved me.
"Nope! Keep walking we're going back home now!"
And hearing her I was very much confused?
Turning Dark Candy was the one who shoved me and as she said that, she then went on to push me again, and making me stumble away, the more she spoke.
"I don't wanna hear anything, this place is going to be attacked soon by a wave of undead, it's inevitable, so all of you shut the fuck up and turn back!!!"
"You're telling them?" Karin
"Yes" DC
"But we were told to keep quiet about it" Karin
"Don't fucking care" DC
DC was going to shove me again but stepping back and evading her shove, I said, "You think it would have been a good idea to tell us about this sooner?"
But just as I said that, "You! Shut the fuck up!" and hearing her disrespect me like that, I was going to curse her out. But as I was, she stomped the ground and then walked past me grabbing my hand.
This time dragging me.
And looking to the girls and their pets, "Come or not I don't fucking care, but we're leaving before everyone here fucking dies and reanimates" she bluntly told em.
"You could of just said please" Sora's boys.
"Bruh, but we've done so much walking?!" Kasumi
"That's the most I've ever walked this year..." Rika
"Then stay!" DC
"Who do you think your talking to, bitch!" Sora
"It's not worth it Sora, let's just go with them" Iris
"Geezez I just want to take a nap..." Urusla
"Whatever!" Sora
"If this place is going to be invaded then let us join!" the pets said as they were at risk of becomin zombies.
"I'm coming with anyways~" Grace ran over to us.
And I was just idly being dragged along by DC and she seemed mader than before for some reason as she was holding my hand tightly? What's with her?
"Do you have to pull me, I'll come you know?"
"Just shut up and listen to me for once!"
"But there's no fun in that~"
"I fucking hate you"
"Boo-hoo..."
"Tch" she clicked her tongue.
"Hey, wait up for us!" Kasumi
Looking behind me everyone was coming with us, oh, I guess we're going on another adventure back?
