Chapter 24 - Council chambers

'Level 51? Cool! And I got a cool skill too!... Wait a minute. I don't remember coming here, where's the Goddess?' I looked at Angela in her signature white dress and asked, "How did I get here?".

"I don't know. The boss took some of the council members on a confidential mission and they came back with you." Angela replied with a surprised tone.

"You're not the boss?... Council members?" I asked in confusion.

"You'll see that for yourself" Angela replied and walked out of the room. I quickly followed her into a wide corridor and began assigning my free stat points.

*******

SP: 0

I instantly felt stronger, lighter and more brilliant after assigning my free stat points. I smiled to myself and looked up, then quickly took a step back as I almost bumped into Angela who was now facing me and staring at me weirdly.

"Are you okay?" She asked with a suspicious tone.

"Yeah... I think so" I replied with a smile.

"Why did this game suddenly change into an apocalypse?" She asked again, still with a suspicious tone.

I was starting to feel that something was wrong. I looked behind her to see a large bronze door, which was adorned with runes symbols.

I had no idea when we got here, as I was too engrossed with assigning my free stat points. I looked back at her and saw her holding her white spear with a frown on her face.

"Uhhh... Because of your punishment" I answered with a furrowed brow.

"Good... One of the council members have the ability to switch bodies. I just wanted to be sure that you were you" she said and unsummoned her spear.

"Cool..." I mumbled to myself.

Another OP player.

"This door leads to the council chambers, are you ready?" She asked and placed her palms on the door.

"Ready for what?... I bet no one there is up to level 40" I mumbled the last part to myself.

The runes symbols on the door lit up when Angela's palm came in contact with the door, and it opened widely to reveal... Nothing?

Angela stepped through the door and disappeared, then I followed after her and my view suddenly changed.

I appeared in a large hall, with a large throne seat at the end of the hall, and seated on the large throne seat was a hooded figure, with a boy and a girl standing beside the throne seat on each side.

By the sides of the hall were twenty high seats, ten on each side, and a wide passage way in-between.

I saw Angela walk up to the only unoccupied high seat which was on the left side of the hall, and sat on it majestically.

Her demeanor changed the moment she stepped into the hall.

I smiled at the settings of the hall and casually strolled forward, with the eyes of the council members on me. I walked straight up, towards the throne seat at the end of the hall.

I was about to climb a small round stairs leading up to the throne seat, when a hand held my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw a man who looked to be in his late thirties with a frown on his face.

"Step back..." Before he could finish his sentence, I grabbed his wrist and flung him across the hall like a ragdoll.

Eleven out of the twenty council members stood up and summoned their weapons. I chuckled at their bravado and summoned my scythe.

Before they could attack, the man who I had flung across the hall, ran up to me with a large hammer raised above his head. But before he could bring it down on me, I slashed my scythe at him.

He paused in his steps, with his pupils the size of a pinhole, then his upper body slid off the lower one cleanly. The council members who had stood up to fight all gulped, with some unsummoning their weapons and sitting back down.

"According to the rules of the council, when a council member is challenged and defeated, his opponent would replace him. Number 909... Do you wish to replace council member Derrick?" The boy who was standing on the left side of the throne seat spoke.

I turned towards him and frowned, 'did he just address me with a number?'.

"Call me that one more time... And you would be joining your council member Derrick" I replied with a threatening tone.

The boy looked at the hooded figure on the throne seat, and when he didn't see any movement from the figure, he scoffed and continued speaking.

"Number 909, there are consequen..." But before he could finish his sentence, I summoned my cloak and appeared before him. And before anyone could make any reaction, the boy was already in two halves.

*Gasps*

Then I turned to look at the hooded figure on the throne seat, and saw the hooded figure staring back at me. The top half of the figures face was covered by the hood, and the lower half was surprisingly... Blurred.

I couldn't determine the expression on the figures face neither could i determine if the figure was male or female.

Is it even human?

"Th-the council meeting has been suspended" the girl who was standing on the right side of the throne seat spoke with a shaky voice, while glancing at me to know if I was annoyed by what she said.

Her reaction was so comical that I almost laughed out loud.

All the council members stood up as one and walked out of the hall, including the girl who had just spoke.

"I fancy your ruthlessness, I have a feeling that we would be a good pair" an alluring feminine voice came from the hooded figure.

"And what makes you think that I would want to pair with you?" I asked.

"Because you owe me your freedom... I risked my life to get you here" the alluring female voice replied.

I chuckled and waved my hand at her joke, but on a second thought, "How did I get here?" I asked.

"Let's just say... I pulled a little heist on a goddess" The alluring voice replied with a chuckle.
