Skadi and Specter just appeared on a broken timeline road in front of Liliana that being guard by dragon maids.
Liliana saw the haggard appearance of the two, she made a little chuckle then said to them.
You two lose without even seeing her full power, yowai yowai. Well, I know that the two of you didn't skip training but of course that timeline was just nothing but a copy and without a real entity or a perfect being it's really hard for the two of you to fight an enemy on equal ground.
Skadi: that's the second time I felt helpless, you never give me a chance to draw my sword while her, she enjoys a battle that her enemy was on full force.
Specter: for me I felt being bullied with love.
The dragon maids cannot stop their laughter after they heard Specter but they still showing an aura and always on high alert like they were scanning everything around them on scope of their perception.
The two little hunters also feel this. Liliana shrugged then told to everyone, were being monitored now. I don't know why but 3 of her avatars is quite observing outside the range of both of your perception.
Ma'am do we enter or confront them, we come prepared. Both martialize their weapon while the two little hunters deployed their aura.
Let's relax for now and the two of you should see dad, just go to that door on our back and lastly don't bother on small things ok.
Sis are you sure that being will not attack?
Specter hymn and rush at the double door, stopping on its front then turned to call Skadi.
Liliana looks at Skadi and replied, they will not because they know who owned this broken timeline road belongs too.
Ok then, Skadi pass by the group slowly walking to where Specter that started pushing the door with an excited manner.
...…
Now on the current time, the two of them landed and saw person that they both always wanted to see. Specter runs to that person, climbing to his lap like a child that misses her pops for a long time, the man holding a book on her left but Specter eyes was fix on his right hand that holding a drumstick of unknown meat that keeps releasing a delicious aroma. Specter moves her hands to hold the man arm to level the food where she can bite it, the man laugh he put the book down on the table and use his left hand to pat Specter head.
Skadi slowly walks and jump slowly landed on the top of the table, she sat just a few centimeters next to him. She picks up some of the meat to taste after a few bites, the meat that slowly melted like ice cream made her pick up some more. In a blink half of the food on table was eaten by her then she shifted her gaze to her father and ask something, dad why is there a nice scent of female around you? Then she looks around and added why do these three looks like they working on a hell's kitchen. The three Pokémon's who were busy preparing, cooking and eating the food they made heard her; they just laugh. Skadi eyes also bewildered because on how they use knife, manipulation of aura on cutting and making sure the essence of the ingredients retain on it were perfect than her brother who loves to cook.
Is there a female scent on me, so little Specter do you smell it to?
Nah, maybe sis is just being hysterical but I can feel a presence that someone mark you dad.
Lim what do you think.
Lim appeared and look at him then said, what the h*ck you already know it from the very beginning. You know she was a chummy and love to hug you, the thing she put on you was for them to see, a little gift to them.
Clow just smile then he heard a cracking sound, he looks at Specter who had just eaten the whole chunk of meat he was holding. Daughter you should not eat even its bone, it's very bad on the stomach but Specter looks at him showing her shark teeth.
Skadi: she can eat anything thou as long the food was prepared by a family member, she was picky if it was not that's also made a little trouble when we both go eat on a high tier restaurant. Clow throws the left over on his hand and he asks the two of them.
The two of you was able to see through my true soul and even feel a lingering presence of her.
Well, we both are hunters and we just ignore what we see if we don't put aura on our eyes, just following our instinct that's all. Specter replied to him with a proud tone.
Showing your true soul to them will put them on an awkward situation, the person mark you is the mother of the 12 right.
Yup and the owner of the diary that I was reading a while ago, do you believe that she enjoying her adventure become a carefree entity until forgetting to renew her permit or identification for entering the upper origin realm that too costly and long to process. Embarrassment to use my name, our family last name nor any bystander name she knows to borrow money to the clan we all acquittance.
She was a workaholic but the money she earns were going all to her hobby, rations and because of that the only result was for her being stranded in middle and lower realms. Then you two already knows what happen, as a being that live long and the enemy always was loneliness, it will strike so hard like a hammer pounding a hot iron. They always said being on the top was lonely even thou she was a fighter "she had learned how to fight just by watching him and all bystanders on their work" and both of you remember she is not a nobody to me, to your aunties nor to every bystander. She was a family from the start, even thou she was a clumsy and playful being she was the 1st to understand what is a bystander really is.
Lim floats in front of them, she keeps nodding then she heard Specter.
Oh, it's the scammer system who appeared, help a little, guide a little and made plan, a perfect plan to win a war but to lose some of our companions "She's talking about those monsters that they've led to that war" that resulted of one of our brothers blaming himself.
Whaaaaaat and why I'm a scammer, wait why do I didn't receive any feedback on my copy on that timeline? She pauses then she gets it after that she shout on anger.
Alicia CrOoooSsss, damn it. her line of thought directly connected to the main BASS.
I know you can see me and heard me clear, why do you even make a copy of me without my ***king approval. Her aura exploded, Clow contained it immediately because he doesn't want the world Shin created to be destroyed in instant.
Skadi sight, she gets that the system in front that raging had a corporeal body. This is the 1st time she saw something like this because on that timeline, each system she had seen tend to steal their host body after they had nurtured it perfectly.
Specter: Pops did I said something wrong, she looks scary and why do beings on reality was too powerful? Her eyes shifted also to the three Pokémon's that ignoring their teacher tantrum.
You should know the tier level in timelines was quite messy, if you measure it now for example the two of you are tier 16 on that place while here it will roll back or measure by the original three realms converting nor reassessing it by less than 1 or 2 tier, try to feel your soul tier level now.
The two little guys concentrated, a few milliseconds they've feel it. they were on tier 13, Specter wanted to cry and Skadi felt her hard work was wasted. Next a beautiful voice after a coughing sound of someone like she was testing a mic to broadcast something.
Cough, its already good, halo ah I mean hello anyone there. A large screen appeared that adjusting itself to view of the being that was talking. It was Alice herself, sitting holding a joystick and on her head, there was a furball with close eyes smiling on the camera.
Oh my, my creation. Why are you mad, you're sending to much killing intent and it was leaking on Alicia's body who was busy managing some documents for me. I just got home thou, well seeing that my two little hunter niece 97% soul was with you now brother it means my gamble really works. Damn my calculation really was already beyond the realms and Lim I'm the one who ask Alicia to make a copy of you to wander the timeline roads to find what my brother lost.
Don't be angry anymore my little BASS that I've created, I'll give a compensation to you, a good one when you visit us here.
Lim shrugged then she retracts her aura and killing intent, Gosujin-sama I can do what Alicia can and before she continues to speak another screen appeared. The screen contains a green haired BASS being tied inside a glass water tank, this guy was kicking the screen to change it angle and send it to a lady busy fixing a wreck big machine like those on sci-fi Gundam anime.
Hazama the 3rd BASS: Hey yoh scammy Lim, ha ha ha…. You got a day being called like that. He was sending telepathic message to everyone and bubble words flying around that screen.
Lim: you're the one, the real scammer had appeared and looking at your situation you did something bad again.
Hazama: You know that the young master always put label on a button icon with different function on it. She always had that habit, I just planning to help her to put that last touch on the mech she was building, who never thought that a wielding label was put on laser defense cannon that had deployed inside the workshop if someone barge in.
The screen already in front of Noel, she was serious on repairing manually but after she saw what's on it. She smiles and put down all her tools down then holding both hands the screen.
Brother at last you decided to get them, now now no more pause tell them to dive to their eggs so that it will start automatically the hatching process. Wah, they both cuter than I expected, send them to me after they hatch and I'll give them some interesting gift.
Lim presence was enough for them to contact their brother, the sisters felt relieve. For Alice she didn't predict nor made a divination but everything she tried was to calculate every movement of his brother while to Noel she just giving support and suggestion to Alice.
Clow: nah I think I can manage at least; I know that me over there had a different complication. At this moment Specter was thinking something, her family binder was empty and an idea pops up that was to try to open her father's book binder.
Skadi: Auntie's I'm ok staying with pops and I'm also thinking that I should start training the moment I've hatch.
Alice: well, everyone here also busies as beings that guard the frontline to defend the three realms against those entities that created by that ***cking seed.
Noel: Nee-san you're forgetting something, there were no devourer tier nor origin abyss devourers on that timeline so Skadi don't know them.
Skadi was confused on what kind of beings her aunties was fighting then she heard her father.
Clow: it's hard to explain and it's better to see one right. Old friend why not greet the little ones?
The trinket on his waist vibrates, a small box opens that shoots out a light on the table and an entity like a small lion with scarf like organ appeared.
Raja stretch up, she scans everything through her perception and slowly look at everyone with her sleepy eyes.
The two little hunters can feel it, infinite of danger alarm ringing on their mind.
Specter mouth slips: "Book" That made everyone pause shifting their gaze at her.
Ah sorry, she played dumb and open her father's binder slowly.
Alice: wait a minute, Raja stops testing the kids and Specter how did you even high jack your father's binder. Bro, I did remember your inventory was the only thing that was to be shared by family members, us three not included my and Noel kins right?
Clow observing Specter that started to pick monster cards, observing their potentials and races. He replied to Alice, you didn't ask I always turned on everything that can be shared. I didn't really care on what items vanishes on my inventory nor binder thou.
Noel: you never ever cared about your privacy, well it's time for me to get back to work. Brother just one more thing, just try to learn how to portray nor control your emotion at least a minute. This time you need to take care of your own kids not something else.
When Alice heard her, she sights and also made a statement. Brother don't make them someone who only knows to practice, like you a training idiot or else I'll go charge at you with full force to try to beat you up.
Raja just smile while Lim landed on Clow's shoulder slowly with an embarrassment on her face. She knows that her students already become like him, every movement they do until to work was part of training regime on their mind.
Brother are you even listening, oh well just remember what you promise to me before we part last time.
Lim knows that promise "Don't ever made a family down or cry" so that was not mean to them but to the BOSS children.
The screen where Noel is already on Hazama place, he was just listening then he sends a certain message to Lim. Lim remember this the boss trained those Pokémon's and Senior Raja is there, you know what role they need to do and same as you as a BASS, just receiving a small replay to Lim was enough.
Hazama smile and as for Alice she just shoots a sharp gaze at Clow before turning off their communication.
Skadi was just eating what food Chopin delivered on the table, her perception was lock on Vajra. She got spook on this entity, one word only appeared on her mind it was so powerful.
Raja: relax yourself little chap, the thing that the bystander Familia fighting was a lesser version of us. Boss I'm greeting them as for the other 12 I'll just see them after they had hatched same the two of you, we will meet again. She turned to a light entering her box again.
Genga: Little missy here taste my craft, it's much more delicious than the rotten rat had made.
Pika: Oi I heard that you fatty without muscles. She gave a sharp gaze with a small killing intent on it to the silver Gengar that started to put down the food it had made.
Munch: I've eaten mine thou, well looks like it's shokugeki time, my cooking level is higher than the two of you, ha ha ha.
Skadi just smiles then shifted her gaze at her sister that busy scavenging their pops binder.
Specter already picks almost 40 cards, she still far away to half of its pages. She looks up and saw her father's face.
Dad, can I have these monsters?
Clow hold her up high then put her next to Skadi. You eat first, look at them the three Pokémon's made food to nourish the soul for everyone. As for the cards you can have them but you need their approval, you need to do that after you hatch, this is a promise. He pats the two after that he return back to drinking medical wine.
Specter was happy and look at the two embryos next to the 12 dragon eggs not far away to them. Skadi pokes her and said to her to put the card she had just pick to an empty slot on their dad's binder before unsummoning it. She looks at Skadi with a little deterrence and competitive gaze, in 3 millisecond the two starts eating.
Lim and the Pokémon's saw them they felt relieved, having children around made the atmosphere happy.
Boss is there something on your mind?
After emptying another bottle, he said to Lim via telepathic connection. She can maybe calculate a life of anybody but there is two that she can't never ever read, constantly changing and both are unpredictable.
You talking about gosujin right, So whose the two?
You already meet them and one of them had already ready to become something. I can feel it and if I'm right she needed a little push, this time every being on the three realms that had already stand on the top will feel it, her presence. She had taken the job to get them for her loosen the binding she had put limiting her cultivation.
Lim pause, I see so my creator cannot calculate Nameless and Liliana life, that quite interesting, that's why they both dangerous beings and the thing your talking was a birth of a prefect hunter right BOSS?
Clow didn't respond to her, he had already pulled another bottle of medical wine on his inventory. Ah I want to see it thou but who will make her to advance.
Lim gave a sight then she looks at the two cute beings busy on their food.
...…
Nameless with a gleeful mannered appeared inside the wreck cabin in front of the 12, her mood was affecting the surrounding making the 12 trembles. Opening her mechanical mask that had been malfunctioning from the moment she entered this timeline road; she gave them a smile.
Hoo, why still having goose bumps? Shaking her head, she materializes a plastic chair to sat on and started to tell an information that the 12 didn't know because it didn't exist on this timeline.
You know our grandparents owned a wish-granting shop, they both always said there is no such thing as coincidence in every world in every cosmos inside the three realms. What does exist is only the inevitable, everything starts from there but their plan gone wrong to live a peaceful life because of a single costumer, the two become its seal and their children become a complete entity. The three break out of that word inevitable, the three realms cannot read them nor dictate their movement, divination, fate was like nothing to them and then I appeared a special existence that should be forgotten, a complete hunter. Every hunter had a contract from birth when the 9 realms still exist that was to protect it but now, I'm free because the contract null after it become three. The three realms didn't even feel it, the day that I was appeared and slowly acquiring the inheritance of our ancestors, those hunters who carried the last name Bloodborne. She was like a madman narrating her whole being, her emotions leaking out from happiness, sadness and sometime she laughs like crazy.
He was different from the father you know in this timeline. In reality he was a mentally ill patient well to begin with every member of the family was like a psychopath. She looks at everyone with a grinning smile that made them tremble, she stands up and created a 2x2 wood paddle.
Who wants to go home 1st?
Hey hey hey wait…. What the heck is that, Nian pointing at the paddle.
This, the best thing to send everyone back, just a single strike and everyone will love it, it's quite addicting thou.
That's a lie, only masochist does that.
Ah no big eldest Sis can you change it or let us choose something that can replace it and it's really the only way to send us to reality is to hit us. One of Nameless little sister hiding behind of her brothers that ignoring the situation by playing a game of shogi.
Ok ok then relax, I'll create a few then you 12 will choose. She put the paddle down and started to materialize items from belt, a hanger, baton, monk staff, wooden cane, a large paper fan and etc.
Everyone swallowed their saliva and look at each other, the 11 decided to made the eldest brother to do the choosing, their gaze was like a needle piercing at Chongyue.
Chongyue shrugged and pointed the paper fan, the only soft thing he perceive among the items.
Hmph, Nameless pick up the large paper fan and test it with just a couple of waves. It's good and before everyone react, she muttered miracle tier mastery "Harden" then flickered. Chongyue who wanted to make a move was late, a huge force already arrived on the back of his head. He felt losing consciousness, almost his whole body is going down the ground but the next view of his eyes changes and yet he appeared above of a broken timeline road where Liliana with her maid guards on standby is. One of the dragon maids flickered and catch him gently, ah the young boss shouldn't really hit her siblings that hard.
Ha ha ha one down, Nameless laugh happily. Ling shouted at her, we can make this kind of play, a hide and seek one. its cheating we were bound by these chains and your freely came to hit us with that.
Nodded to her and replied, I'm easier to talk than the other members of the family. So, the whole wreck house will be the stage, I'll count to 20 and everyone need to find a place to hide, also on this game I will just move like a normal kid. She snaps her fingers and the chains that binding the 11 then the 10 flickered, vanishes on their spots looking a place to hide.
Nameless look at the little dragonian drunkard who even ask for it, she didn't budge on her position but only continue to drink on her large wine gourd. Oh, come on sacrificing yourself to give them time, is everyone scared of being hit. I'm only using a miracle tier hardening and of course it will not cause damage because everyone is on tier 16 in this timeline. Yare yare daze, you still don't want to move, Nameless poking Ling soft cheeks that bulging cause of being filled of medical wine.
Ling swallowed her wine, just hit me on my left biceps and nee-san be gentle I know your just kidding about this kind of transportation tee-hee then she gave Nameless a pleading eye.
Nameless scratches the back of her head and nodded to her but she decided, this one was a brave guy so she just patted her. See you on the otherside Ling.
Ling gave a smile and slowly faded away.
Nameless started to search for the others, following her instinct she had entered the kitchen area, the place full of debris from the upper floor that got destroyed. She ignores everything and approach a large cauldron, without a pause she hit it hard with the paper fan. The whole cauldron broke and there two of her brothers that showing warry smile at her hiding on it.
The one who were wearing an apron talk, sis can you not hit my face and as always before the other gave a suggestion, they both failed to react to Nameless. A fast finger flick aiming on their forehead solve the two the strong force made them unconsciousness on the spot and direct send them out of this timeline.
She turned around and see Nian.
I cannot find a place to hide so just hit me please.
Whut with the chummy attitude? using the tip of the paper fan she taps Nian head.
Nian felt that she was melting then look at Nameless, so hitting was lie and only being on contact with was enough to send us out, oh well thanks sis.
Nameless flickered appearing on the hallway then entered a room, a room that had been clean. A brother of hers was sitting on a Japanese tatami like waiting for her to play a shogi match. She sited opposite of him and they both started to play, a couple of minutes the whole room was filled of floating shogi boards with the series of games they had played, his brother had now a sad vibe, irritated, confuse. Why I cannot win a single game, it was a question to Nameless like he was asking a realization, enlightenment and the best answer.
Why asked if you know the answer, luckily the one you had played was me and if our aunties the one you had played, you will just lose hope to pick strategist as a class. I know everyone had they're on expertise but in reality, you all understand that on the family. Me, dad and his sisters, we had nothing from traits, characteristics, talent to etc. We all just need to learn from scratch and we don't care how many years for us to learn it. We don't care if we break on the process and the only thing on our mind was the result, it was to become a real entity. After finishing her statement, she hit this brother of hers softly on his right shoulder. Don't blame yourselves on what happen here, move on and you know reality was scarier that this timeline.
Dusk show yourself; I know you can hide through to your painting that had scattered every part of this house; I don't want to wreak havoc again. One of the paintings on the wall shake, Dusk jumps down on it. Nameless blink to catch her and throw her up again. Dusk silhouette just vanish after that, she didn't even had time to say something. Her search for the other 5 continue until the last one.
...…
Within 2hrs she finishes sending everyone out, relieved this feeling is enough to loosen the seals she had put to suppress her idea on trying to unleash the potential of a hunter.
She made hand chop to cut the space making her way out of this timeline. Walking out normally and turned around to face the timeline that being bind by her chains. The chains tighten, squeezing it hard and cracking sounds revibrate on the spot then Nameless did a finger slash. This timeline was now cut on half and started to diminished.
Ah f*ck, Nameless turned around and saw an avatar of the being who observe timeline roads. A humanoid female entity, slender, multi wing and the eyes were covered by a small pair of wings from back of its head. Radiating an aura of a tier 15.5 entity.
This avatar felt how dangerous Nameless is even thou her tier was a little higher, a quick reaction to escape from jumping and blinking through timeline roads. Then it activated a skill that create decoys or fake traces, to confuse or to lost Nameless that had already decided to chase and kill this avatar.
Damn it she's fast, Nameless created an iconic hunter's rifle. Let's see if my bullet is faster than you. She just shoots to a direction blindly, range of perception, amplifying her gun total output dmg, speed of materialization of the bullet when in made contact on the entity, precise calculation and prediction where her target will appear.
A simple gunshot that didn't even echo to that space.
The avatar already too far away at Nameless but still she needs to go where the main body is. It knows that the main body was traveling on a direction straight through to the lower realm plane using a puppet entity that had a timeline road, the main body was using it to move incognito. Picking the signal of the main body, the avatar decided to take a high speed long jump of teleportation and on that moment, it activated a bullet had already materialize inside her body appearing on heart but it didn't cancel the hyperspace jump.
...…
Ishmael "the one who observe timeline roads", Black Silence "Roland" and Angelica this pair of couple that regretted taking this job as a bodyguard was now encountering a criminal group called IF. They were fighting a 4-man team, the couple knows that IF members move on two and it's enough to give a heavy injury to a tier 16 that was not on the top list.
This group aim was to kill Ishmael, Roland and Angelica identity as a fixer and egos was fully activated. Their aura and alertness were keeping up the pace against this 4 and Ishmael still didn't want to budge to join the fight.
Roland: Sechs, Arturia, Rascal and Emily. I never thought that all of you will take a killing job like this, you know even without me and my wife here, you all cannot win against her. Scanning the 4 who were on haggard state and defending against his wife bombardment.
Arturia that giving support using her musical instrument already having a bad time, she knows the couple and their target had strong immunity against anything. She just giving buff and using her music to change or pull everyone on a special expansion that will favor her teammates. Even thou she was defending on attacks that being thrown by Angelica, she was still able to pulls some strings and complete her piece.
Emily was doing her job getting Angelica's attention because of her dmg output while Rascal, even he had the title the weapon he can't even pierce his opponent defense, he was having a hard time matching Roland movement.
Sechs thought: those two can only buy me time, changing his form to a being that can dmg the couple and the target then he mix himself at the expansion that Arturia build.
All in all, on this fight something or someone had entered the expansion domain.
Ishmael above her, her avatar appeared that had a smile then suddenly it coughed so much blood. The avatar slowly falls down on her arms, dead. The fighting stops because of this and the newcomer that they didn't detect appeared just a few milliseconds only.
On the same spot a child on the age of 3 or 4 on a suit that had a quite old design of hunter that can only be describe on a story or a game. They heard her mad laughter and words.
Ah really had a bad timing oh well looks like I need to kill everyone here to make sure my whereabouts will still remain unknown "fully release".
Around the child, her aura vanishes and her outfit change. She was like a child at home wearing a white clean tank top, a short and a pair of geta sandals.
What caught their attention was a brownish katana on its sheath without a Tsuba.
The criminal group, the couple same as Ishmael. They know they were mark by something that cannot be cancel nor erase, no escape or even they did able to do it the child in front of them can locate them on anywhere in any time.
Roland: Client were on a big trouble here, hey Sechs how about we help each other here, just this once remember we still had a good time when we guys still on same class.
Angelica blink next to Ishmael waiting for her command.
Ishmael absorb her avatar and knowing why this entity hunted it. A being that can destroy timelines or timeline roads that it was not belong to her, one of the taboos for the three realms. Her words vibrated to everyone, don't attack her because she was waiting, no she wants us to fight her on full power.
Right a perfect hunter, this was her guessed seeing the outfit a while ago. The couple pause, they felt rooted same with the criminal group. They know that real hunters only appeared on the history when there still 9 realms.
They look at the child that only gave a crazy smile at them.
