"Slohet! Moses! do you know you've let me down!"
Hearing the shout from their God, their already lowered heads, couldn't help but get lower.
Ignoring their appearance, Ares continued to shout as if to vent all the anger in his chest.
"two tasks! I gave you two tasks!"
"One was to capture the green-skin tribe and make them my believers, and the other was to capture that human!"
"Now can you tell me which one of these you achieved?"
Saying this, the already trembling kingdom of God began to increase as Ares' anger skyrocketed as he spoke.
feeling the anger emitting from him, Moses quickly tried to calm him down
Y-Your h-highness it was not our fault, we already captured the green skins, and only a few escaped, and as for the human? Slohet was about to defeat him and capture him in the warriors' battle"
listening to Moses talk, he suddenly realised it seemed to be so, after all it was him who interrupted their match thus attracting Latet to deal with him, but thinking of what he heard about that human during the meeting of Gods a few days ago, he felt frustrated all of a sudden
taking a deep breath, he faced the goblins again although this time his anger had calmed down a bit.
"However, you still must be punished, first of all, you green skins who had the guts to run away from this God, should start kneeling and begging for my forgiveness!"
As he spoke, not putting any of the goblins in his eyes.
Unfortunately, what happened next was not the grovelling he expected but rather an angry shout from one of the green skins he looked down on.
Gathering All his strength to resist Ares coercion, Zriork stood up with an angry expression looking at Ares eyeball to eyeball
"Ares!!"
Hearing Zriork call him by name, A shocked expression could clearly be seen on his face, However before he could react Zriork had already begun to talk
"Although you are the God of goblins, I Zriork do not accept you!
You waged war on us, killed our brethren and now you want us to kneel!
I Zriork refuse to accept!
we goblins would never be slaves!"
hearing the impassioned speech from Zriork, all of a sudden the remaining goblins seemed to have gotten courage out of nowhere. with Zriork at the lead, a series of impassioned shouts resounded throughout the kingdom of God
"I Oteegz refuse to accept!"
"I Kraziox refuse to accept!"
"I Ohbeng refuse to accept!"
"We Goblins would never be slaves!!"
Seeing the ants below him rebelling and not responding to his kindness, a look of anger and impatience could be clearly seen on Ares face.
Without giving any of them a chance to react he waved his right and instantly all goblins apart from Slohet and Moses into dust.
watching the rest of his clansmen turning into dust at a moment's notice, even the ever-so-brave Slohet couldn't help but tremble lightly.
fortunate he quickly regained his composure, too bad all that was clearly seen by Ares.
seeing his trembling posture, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
*That's more like it, ants should have the consciousness of ants!*
Turning his gave to the last two goblins
"Now both of you, you only have one last chance! go camp outside freedom town with the rest of your clansmen, once that human steps out of town be sure to capture him"
He waved his hand teleporting them out of his Kingdom of God.
...
ELRIC POV
A new day had begun, and the three suns of Elias seemed to shine extra bright today. At this moment instead of a house somewhere on the outskirts of freedom town, a loud knocking sound could be heard.
*knock-knock-knock!*
Unfortunately, it seemed no matter how loud the knock was, there was no response from the opposite side.
Standing in front of the Mansion Library holding a tray of food was Davis, after knocking a few times to no response, he resolutely opened the door ignoring the fact that he said he wouldn't disturb him unless it was an emergency.
Opening the door, the first thing that came to his sight was Elric sleeping in a pile of books.
*Ahem!*
Seeing the ever-sleeping Elric, Davis gave a slight cough in hopes of waking him up
"What!?"
Waking up abruptly, Elric couldn't help but scold Davis with an Angry face.
"Davis! What is it? didn't I tell you not to disturb me unless it's an emergency?"
Fortunately, Davis seemed to have thought ahead, carrying over the tray of food a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
"Young master, I've been knocking on the door all day, it's time for breakfast!"
dropping the tray of food on the table, he gave Elric an 'it's all your fault' kind of look
"What breakfast!?"
Hearing it was a new day, a look of embarrassment appeared on Elric's face as he suddenly remembered he seems to have accidentally slept off while reading a book titled 'The history of Elias 101'
Scratching the back of his head, he turned towards Davis with an awkward smile.
"I know, thanks for the hard work"
seeing that Elric had already woken up Davis was about to leave the room, but thinking of Elric's haggard appearance, a bit of worry flashed in his eyes
"Young master, are you okay?"
feeling his concern felt a bit of warmth in his heart, with a light smile he turned towards Davis who was about to exit the room
"I'm fine however, we need to hurry up, we have a lot of things to do today"
with a serious face, he began to tell Davis about today's plans
"Once I'm done eating and Cleaning up we'll start heading out, go tell George that the three of us have to go to Reinhardt's today"
saying this, he closed the door evicting Davis from the room.
Thankfully due to the earlier absorption of the mana core back at the cave Elric's attributes were higher than a normal person's meaning that a few hours of missed sleep could hardly affect him, with a light stretch he began to eat and prepare for the day's activities.
Soon time passed and under everyone's kind gaze, Elric, George, and Davis set off toward Reinhardt's home.
As the three of them walk, they could help but be grateful that Sebastian took his time to show them the way during their journey here, due to this they were able to go straight to Reinhardt's home without making any unnecessary twists and turns.
After walking for a few eventful minutes, they successfully made it in front of Reinhardt's house, looking at the entrance in front of them, a faint family silhouette could be made out.
standing in front of the gate with his usual butler attire was Sebastian, apparently, he and a guard seemed to be talking about something serious, however, seeing the three of them coming they quickly kept quiet.
"If it isn't young master Elric and his two friends"
With a slight bow, Sebastian greeted the trio.
"Good day Sebastian, how's Aoma doing? we'd like to see lord Reinhardt"
Taking the lead, Elric stretched out his hands to shake Sebastian
"Follow me right this way, unfortunately, lady Aoma isn't around however lord Reinhardt is currently in his study. I'll let him know you're around."
Following Sebastian's lead, they successfully met Reinhardt.
Entering the study, Reinhardt could be seen sitting cross-legged signing some documents.
"And to what do I owe this visit?"
Seeing the three of them coming in, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
looking at the smile on Reinhardt's face, Elric suddenly felt that he would surely agree to his request, taking a deep breath he said the reason the cane by today
"We'd like to get your help in hunting some magic beasts"
However, hearing the words 'Magic beasts' the smile on Reinhardt's face instantly faded.
