Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Journey (3)

A few months after the release of the game, many beta players complained why the gaming company, Boundless Corp. removed the setting where players can possess up to five beings that belong to them which they can order however they like.

After finding out about this, many players teamed up with the beta players saying that the game would have been easier if there were animals who would do what they want.

In response to the complaint of many players, the head administrator who is known as 'Game master' in the player community cursed at the players saying that they have no right to complaint about things when they haven't even explored the world of the game.

But, after the second patch, it was revealed that the was put back into play.

However, the conditional requirements needed for a player to successfully establish a pact between a beast and oneself to turn said beast into a has many off the chart difficulty requirments.

One of them is that the beast must be accustomed to a deity's divinity. If not, the beast will die from the sudden power it gets.

After experimenting countless times, two options was then revealed in the community:

The slow route where a player spends time with an animal they want to turn into a divine beast so that the animal gets accustomed to their divinity which normally takes ten in game years.

And the risky route where they would just inject a small amount of their divinity repeatedly to the animal where their chances of dying is more than seventy percent after every injection.

But, another method was introduced into the community thanks to the hardcore and number one survival player, Sasha Santiago.

The third method was then named as 'Dine N dash'.

The only deities who have a with them is the Goddess of Land, the God of Curses, the Goddess of Wisdom, the Goddess of Water, and the Goddess of Gluttony.

By stealing their that is already accustomed to a deity's divinity, it is possible to take them in after stepping nearby their sanctuary.

Since a sanctuary acts as a medium that sends the faith of a deity's subjects and convert that faith energy into divinity, by coming closer to her sanctuary, her territory in the spirit realm should now have a portion of my energy that I have been letting out the moment I got here.

After provoking them, there is a chance that they might send their somewhere in the kingdom which will allow me to take it without having to pay the price.

Which explain why it was named as 'Dine N dash'.

However, as I am taking in the avatar of the Goddess of Gluttony who has descended into the mortal world, I am unable to call my .

The same thing would apply for the God of Curses which is assuring.

"Well, that much is all I need for now. Since I might just be the first to invent the fourth method of raising a "

...

Meanwhile, in the capital of Lagnos, the sky turned dark as the space and the realm of reality was tore apart.

"RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

The Goddess of Land's divine beast whose appearance is similar to an earthworm appeared.

The divine beast opened its mouth(?) and mana begun to get sucked into the its stomach.

"Seriously, this is why I prefer paperworks!"

A ball of acid flew towards the divine beast.

"KKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

The acid melted a portion of the divine beast's skin as it howled in pain.

[The Goddess of Land is flabbergasted]

[The Goddess of Land is screaming "How is it possible for her to exist in two places at the same time!?"]

Seeing the acid with divinity managed to hurt the divine beast, the Goddess of Land ordered Aerrax to retreat through the crack.

[.....!]

The divine beast was pulled away from the crack and was dragged into the ground, outside the capital of Lagnos.

"This thing sure is heavy"

Finn who was using both to manipulate the divine beast's divinity and restrained the divine beast.

"KKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

"....?! How is this possible?!"

Finn's power begun to get absorbed into the divine beast after it opened its mouth.

"Hurry up already!"

Shing.

Gigantic stakes made of pierced the divine beast.

"You can let go of it now"

After receiving the signal from Ralias, Finn withdrew the little amount of power he has left.

"Damn. Old man demi god, what is that made of?"

Finn pointed at the shiny pink stakes that was piercing the divine beast.

"Oh, that? That's something that ignores divine power. It is extremely hard to make with my power which is why it took me so long to make it. But it makes me wonder how she foresaw this though"

While the two chatted, acid started to coat the divine beast.

"Finn"

"Yes, her grace's clone?"

"Create a barrier so that the sound won't go anywhere. And also, I have a name, you know"

"Understood, her grace's clone"

"....."

Aureys stood still and looked at Finn who was create a barrier while Ralias slowly walked away.

"You won't be eating anything for three days"

"WHAT?!"

Aureys then begun to melt the divine beast slowly while ignoring Finn's cries.

[The Goddess of Land cannot believe what she is seeing]

Minutes passed and the divine beast became so small that he looked like a normal earthworm.

"This should do it. Well, that took longer than what I assumed. Can't do anything about it since I only possess a small amount of divinity compared to the orginal one"

Aureys then grabbed the divine beast and placed it into a jar made of Tenkedius to make sure it won't be able to escape.

"Let's go back. Ralias"

"Yes, instruc- I mean, master?"

"Take those stakes and place it somewhere safe. We can't let anyone take those"

"Understood"

After accomplishing their goals, Ralias took the stakes while Finn begs Aureys as she gives him the 'Silent Treatment'.

...

After leaving to watch what will happen to Lagnos for releasing her divine beast, me and Murphy was quietly waiting on our seats.

"Are you sure that there is no need to worry, your grace?"

Murphy asked with a concerned expression.

"Not at all. I already told them how to subjugate a divine beast anyway"

The divine beast Aerrax has the ability to siphon any 'energy'. If it was a skill it would be called or something.

As a divine beast that protrays the essenc of land, Aerrax is capable of spreading the energy it absorbed into other objects or areas to propagate and maintain the life of all creatures just like the Goddess of Land.

Having him under me would increase the security of the kingdom.

"What a bountiful harvest. It was a good thing that I-"

Boom!

Not far from here, a familiar mana was coming from where the explosion came from.

"Your grace, I think Javier is fighting against someone"

No shit sherlock. I can tell that much from the mana alone.

- I guess you can't have a good and relaxing then.

'Sigh. Please shut up if you have nothing good say'

- Will do.

Me and Murphy then went to where the explosion was only to see Javier on top of a hill of unconcious beast soldiers.

"Who will be the next one!? Huh?"

Javier yelled towards the royal knights of the royal family.
