The cold edge of the claymore felt heavy on me. Then I saw Dyna and Wilbert coming up behind her. She sheathed her sword on her back again and took a few steps back.
Brian was apparently checking at the rubble below. "You know, the task was just to defend yourself and not destroy the valley right." Said dyna. I couldn't hold myself in "Are you crazy, I just escaped from these damn zombies. They were literally relentless. Stabbing, thrusting, slashing nothing worked on them." "Isn't that why they're called as zombies but let's just say they are nightmare spawns instead and you have a fierce aversion to them which is why they took on such a form. Well, you did good. But all I want to know is how did you even make the hill collapse. We didn't see anything coming from your hand. No fire, lightning or any of the elements, nor did we see any form of unique degree?"
I too honestly didn't remember what had happened except the string that probably saved me so that is what I said to them.
"His degree probably has something to do with wires and strings I guess, so it's probably a unique type of degree." Said Wilbert. "Now then, you just sucked up an entire day so tonight during dinner I'll explain the rest of it plus you have just qualified to stay with the southern barbarians that is us."
With that, the tiring fight was over and it was time for the most awaited part of my life, dinner. Somehow after getting chased, I skipped lunch which left me broken and hungry. I quickly cleaned myself up and headed outside which Is when I realized I didn't know anything about where I was so I decided to roam the area.
The entire range was beautiful with huge mountains spanning as far as the eye could see. The area seemed modern and fit in with the natural beauty and yet seemed heavenly with the mild cold mist setting low.
The buildings were all works of master architects, made to resist the rain and heat. The dinner hall itself was as large as a street full of houses. It was a sight to behold along with the scenery, as people were taking food in random manners. Some used weird powers like the wind, or even spaghetti to pull in the food. It was hectic, as people rushed to get their plates and food.
I knew no one and was quite nervous so I headed over to a table with 4 guys sitting around. As I sat down, the tallest guy among them said "So, you must be the new guy huh? My name's Donny and these guys are Henry, Rahman, and Yukimura. So, tell us who's incarnate, are you?" Yukimura a guy who seemed as tall as me now that I saw him said "Bro wait, first let us introduce ourselves before asking the newbie." Next to me, he said "Sorry if he's a little too fast for you. I'm the incarnate of Amaterasu the Japanese sun god and I'm a part of the vanguard squad." Rahman said "Hey bro how is he even supposed to know who the vanguard squads are? So let me explain, the South which is what we call our base, has five squads distributed across different areas of the base. First, the front liners known as the vanguard squad is full of guys who play offense against the enemies of the world by traveling to different states and places. Next, the Defense squad focuses on protecting the base. They remain here year-round and train while protecting everyone here from threats. The third squad is the production squad which produces all forms of weapons, and equipment and don't really take part in battles. Most of them are incarnates of gods who have their fables related to creating such stuff as Hephaestus or Kagutsuchi and many other gods. Next is the business squad, who generally take care of our financial problems. They are either investors or business owners and manage the money of the entire clan.
The final squad is the assassin squad. We don't know a lot about them since they're technically only seen by the clan leader who Is currently in seclusion trying to get to converse with his patron which is an entirely different story, so they carry out orders from the clan leader in secret of course being the sneaky little peakers they are." That must have taken the breath out of Rahman since he was heaving his breaths. Then suddenly Miss Bailey came from far wielding her huge great-sword which was terrifying to see from my point so the first thing I did was try to reach out for my spear from the air which seemed idiotic at first glance but then it appeared from the very thin air I ridiculed after which she jumped sky high as the dining hall suddenly seemed empty.
