_a moment from the archaic records will now be played_
-now you are just another god who has made their "justice", how's it feel ? you happy now? Another evil Deity doing nothing but bad to the multiverse
-you are wrong
-about what
-everything you just said
-what do you mean?
-I'm not a god, I'm not a mortal, i am not right, i am not wrong , i am not unjust, i am not justice , i am no light AND I AM NO DARKNESS , I AM NO MIGHT AND I AM NO VILENESS
I.
AM.
Absolution.
From all your sins.
_…_
-all . void .
_the archaic records will now close , this conversation happened between white haired man and another one standing in front of him_
-MIRIO BEHIND YOU
-GOT IT THANKS HEISHI .CHAPTER 4 !
-you two guys should stop screaming to each other , its just a buncha gobs
_-splat- the head of the last one pf the goblin horde got popped by heishi , using shadow enhancement on his black wooden sword, or wand we should say, not as in the wizard-ish way , but in a martial art one , empowering it with mana gives it reinforcement and permits it to cut more or less based off the quality(compression) and quantity of the ue utilized for the empowering _
-ok guys i think its time to get in the cave
_talking was a woman with black white-mashed hair and black eyes , dressed in techwear black clothes, apparently kind of jacked and bringing a katana on her thigh _
-sorry Itaka but we kinda couldn't hold back that much, its our first time out after all
-you do have a point in the end , but whatevs
-Mirio are you hurt anywhere?
-I'm alright don't worry , you?
-didn't get hit once (uwu)
_ the three of them then ran with excitement inside the goblin cave-and yes they did decide on this mission because of… let's just say they did(they wanted to do the cliché first mission, please forgive them)- happy to hunt down monster and experience the dream of adventuring . The second they got inside another horde of 3 goblins ran onto them.
Ikaria used her katana to distance herself from one before stepping forward while slicing its head in two . Mirio just killed the other two by chanting blood spear and… well…. Yes. _
-this place is sure narrow
-don't know what u'd expect from a gob cave
-she is right , anyway we have to move on so don't even think of resting , im talking to you Heishi (-_-)
_yes our boy did almost get a heart attack from those things jumping out of nowhere, so it looked like he was tired… at least i hope its like that_
-got it(^w^), didn't have to be so rude tho (o_o)
_ they then went in deeper , the cave tunnel got a bit larger and larger until it opened up onto a cave where the actual goblin "village" was . I call it a village but it wasn't one really , it was basically 4 houses , three small ones and a bigger one , the one where you could see from outside that it was full of gold , thing which goblins are very much fond of , and i mean they literally have a medical disorder(this was researched fyi) called "goblins greed" which makes them do anything for gold , so in the end they aren't really much violent, just mad and numerous._
-Heishi, you go
-got it
-wait what do you mean
-his specialty is a stealth-type one , for now i mean
-what does that mean
-just watch and don't worry about it
-fine i guess
-shadow walker's first step : subverse
_Heishi steps down into the shadow of a nearby pillar and when he rises up everything is kind of blurry but he sees a shadow , or should i say a reflection of the actual world, so he goes towards it and enters it , exiting in the shadow produced by the gold in the big hut_
-someone touching goooooldd
-who? Where?
-in big hut !
-get him
_our now shadow walker waited patiently with his knifes out and as soon as one of them showed up he cut off its throat and then put a knife in its head , doing the same process for basically 19 times (yes goblins become that stupid whenever there's gold involved ) untill it all became silent . He then realized his chestplate expanded a bit , bow it also covered a tiny bit of his abdominal region and neck . Heishi was now level 2_
-it's silent.
-idk why tho ? Is Heishi alright? Omg dont tell me he's like dead or something
-next time you use slang for anything i swear on the name of Vlad the third i will rip your head off. He's fine he has just finished , that's why it's so silent
-didn't have to be so mean tho
-so uhm apparently he have approximately 4.500 gold units in here
-KYAAAAAAAAA
_Heishi just emerged from her shadow with a box painted in yellow and black stripes, called with love "the lootie" , its basically a box which is capable of storing the same thing/material an unfathomable amount of time , basing off esper techniques , commonly used for construction materials , but also applied for things like precious gold raids like this one , and yes Heishi did buy one before going from Kael _
-you made me lose some lifetime you jerk!
_the two stared her like she was crazy or something_
-meeeee smeeeeellll humaaaaaans
-oh please…
-don't you tell me its a troll, please anything but a troll
_it was an orc_
-THAT'S EVEN WORSE , BRO CMON (T_T)
_orcs are not evolved pigs here , they are just altered lifeforms (mammals of all kinds) which have extraordinary regeneration capabilities , as a drawback they are weak to fire and poison, because of the damage over time that "outheals" their healing . Basically you just have to remember to bring some snake venom or a molotov and you can take out one, well of course they are still going to attack you and its not that easy in the end , because they indeed are on average 3,5 meters tall and a lot strong. That would've been easy for the 3 of them… if they had brought anything at all_
-fortunately they don't move in packs but this is definitely gonna be a hard one , I honestly hope you two don't have in mind to kill it… you do don't you?
-yes, yes we do (OwO)
-I honestly don't know whether to be happy that you want to improve or mad that you lack fear of death
-doesn't matter let's get on with this , chapter 5 : blood pond
_a sticky pond made out of blood forms below the monster, making it really hard for it to keep walking _
-godly techniques of the sword : slash !
_Ikaria steps forward empowering her katana with her qi and starts running to accumulate momentum which then she uses to jump on the thing and slash off a big chunk of his face and shoulder, which starts slowly but effectively regenerating _
-blood spear mk2 : multiply
_Mirio proceeds to create (multiple but smaller than the normal one ) blood spears which then throws at the orc , but doesn't take them out with the purpose of not making the orc able to regenerate those specific parts . All this happened when Heishi realized he is now level 2 , he smiled ._
-buy me some time , and i mean a lot of it
-sure thing , just don't do it after we die k?
_our little adventurer changed his class and started chanting something in a strange language which i will gently translate for you_
-the sun god blesses you with all his might for his power destroys all frights , let the sun bathe you alone and let the darkness be bestowed with hope
_ after basically a minute something happens : a fire halo appears above the head pf the orc and all the wounds that were healing at a normal pace instantaneously heal and the orc gains all his forces back . Mirio smiles , ikaria gets furious _
-ARE YOU MAD OR SUM ? Please tell me I didn't just see you heal it
-wait and see
-what do you mean?
-hit it
_without hesitation she slashes the shoulder of the orc(common knowledge is the upper joints of an orc are where the skin is softer, that's why the same place) . The wound doesn't regenerate _
-what in the he-
-told you
-time to finish him off. Attack after my signal and close your eyes before that
-got it -(said by both)
-moon goddes's first lie : nightmare of the sinners
-now
_they opened their eyes and saw the orc still , however there was no time to think so they gathered up all their strength and attacked both vitals of the orc at the same time , finally killing it. Heishi's chestplate grew a bit more , now covering all the abdominal region and shoulders, but still being thin , and i mean really thin , basically just a bit more width than a metal sheet, Heishi was now level 3 . When they both looked behind saw Heishi stunned the same way the orc was and on first thought that was the reason why Heishi told them not to look_
