The smiths and the food providers stayed back at the camp. Only 8 remained from the group. The others were two archers and two swordsmen. They are all hiding behind a rock near Dust Town. There are four Magekeeps Towers built there with magic orbs, the team doesn't know what they do, but they have to be wary of them anyway. That was all they could see from the outside. "I'm gonna scout." Duke offered. "No, I can do it." Jacko tells. "Well, not me." Jacko continued.
As the others were confused, Jacko then called out his most fateful companion once more. "Hi! Hi!" Finn greeted. "Hmm, does this thing have a range limit? I'm already assuming you can see through it." Sarah says, as she recalls the fairy slime not attacking but watching her movements, which lead to her defeat. "Yeah, I can also talk through him." Finn said, while Jacko said the same, proving it. "Well go scout then, tell us what you see." Duke said, getting impatient. Finn then flies into town...
A blue haired young woman wearing a fancy leather uniform and a round purse picks up a Frost Orb on one of the stalls in Dust Town. She looks up to the smiling merchant with a long ripped tophat and a robe made out of scraps. "How'd you get this, sir?" She adjusts her glasses while observing the orb in one hand. "Trade secrets." The merchant told. "I'm surprised that this orb has a very high quality.... despite being artificial." The lady placed down the orb back on the table. "Are you interested?" The merchant asked anyway. The girl squints her eyes at the merchant. She then looked around the town. It was already very suspicious ever since she got here. Everywhere she looked, there were mages with blue eyes watching every new comer. People who looked almost dead were selling various things with no clear source. And most importantly, the guild was completely replaced by a tall Mage tower. The blue haired girl walked away from the merchant's stall and then entered the tavern. To her surprise, it was filled with adventurers drinking and talking to each other. She glanced outside once more, noting once again that no other adventurers were outside. She then sat in front of the bartender's counter. "What would you like ma'am?" He gave a smile. "Bourbon." The girl told, observing the Bartender closely. As she watched him prepare her drink. She then finally decided to ask. "Hey bartender, what's your name?" Bourbon asked smugly. "It's Jerry." He answered. She looked behind her again. She noticed something. Noone has left the tavern, it was all the same as she entered. "So Jerry, have you ever heard of Fairy Orbs?" She asked. The bartender ignored her, then he placed the cup in front of her. "Enjoy." The bartender looked scared.
The girl then pulls out a white ball from her purse, throwing it up and down on her hand. "Fairy Orbs, are illusionary items, they are usually used for concealing what's not supposed to be there." Bourbon told as she stood up, facing the crowd in the tavern. The bartender gulped. "May I ask, who you are, ma'am?" The bartender asked.
The girl then throws the white ball at the crowd, bursting it into white powder that crackled when they touched the people. The people of the tavern all exploded into pink mist as they were all exposed to be fake. "Ma'am!" The bartender gasped, watching the girl remove a loose floorboard and then places the small Fairy Orb in her bag. She then turned to the bartender. "I'm Bourbon Beverly, A-Rank Adventurer of Seawell Kingdom!" The girl announced.
Suddenly, she felt something small wrap around her and then pulling her away. "What the!?" She gasped. Then a blue laser of made out of water is shot at where Bourbon was before. "Are you ok!?" A voice from behind asked. Bourbon then looked behind her, surprised of the presence of a fairy. She knew fairies were rare creatures that were rarely born out of human's emotions. "Thank you..." Bourbon smiled, for she loved fairies. "Miss! You have to get out of there!" The Fairy warned. Bourbon then breaks free from the loosened magical rope and then throws out a smoke bomb from her purse in the tavern. The fairy coughed and immediately looked for the girl. She then felt a hand grab the fairy and was placed in a tight leather place.
Bourbon ran out from the tavern and then immediately stopped.
Multiple Mages of blue robes surrounded her. Bourbon then pulls out a round potion from her hand, then it was immediately shot out of her hand, the potion fell to the ground and caused a tiny harmless explosion on the ground. "Dammit..." Bourbon sighed, realizing that she made a mistake. She then heard the clapping of one of the mages. "Wooooow! Wahahahaw!" The Mage with the most majestic robes walked right in front of her, giving her a standing ovation. "A shame, a lovely lady like you is not fit to be a mage." He told. Bourbon then pulls out another potion, but the Elder Mage simply casted two bubbles wrapped around her wrists and then raises them up above her head. "Get the fuck away from me you freak!" Bourbon yelled. "Feisty, just the way I like em!" The Elder Mage then places his hands on her hips with malicious intent. Suddenly, he gasped as a multiple pink beams shot into his neck. "Th-they..." The mage stepped back as he felt the holes on his neck...then he smiled. The holes immediately regenerated as if he hadn't been hurt at all. "Get your filthy hands away from her!" The fairy flew out and pointed in anger. Bourbon looked at the fairy...then she notices another missed detail. It seemed to be made out of slime, there's no such thing of a slime fairy with a shape of real fairy... "So, the Slime One has arrived." The Elder smiled. "The Slime One...?" Bourbon tilted her head confused. "Yeah! I'm here now! Come on! Let's fight!" The fairy taunted. "That's not going to work." The Elder groaned as he then removed his robe. "Oh hell no!" Bourbon closed her eyes.
The mage reveals his chest with a Dragon Water Orb in the middle of it. "I'll have the you under my control, and there's nothing you can do!" The Elder Mage laughs.
"Those orbs on the Mage Towers, they are unnatural bigger Water Orbs...I just saw some of the Mages making people look at them and their eyes turned blue." Jacko reported. "Rift, I think it's best if you and the archers take down the towers." Jacko said. "Right on, let's go dudes!" Rift jumped out of the rock with the archers wearing their cloaks.
"What else do you see?" Sarah asked, pressuring Jacko's shoulders. Jacko gulped and it's as if he saw something breathtaking. "Jacko?" Sarah shook him. "Oh! Right, you guys should uhh, stand by and do the plan when you see the pink beams." Jacko said. "I'm trusting you cuz she's trusting you." Duke reminded. "Let's go before you lose it." Sarah told as she runs out of the rock with Duke. Jacko is now observing someone who had just entered the town. She had clothes that he had never seen before and blue puffy round hair. He thought it was silly, but it really made him think that she was the strangest girl he had ever seen. He then suddenly saw Magekeeps following her into the tavern. Jacko then gasps as he felt someone else watching him through Finn. The fairy slime looks to see the disgusting grin of the Magekeeps Elder. "Oh no..." Jacko then let's Finn enter the tavern.
A short thin beam of pink light shoots at the sky. "That's the signal." Sarah said, looking at Duke sitting on her mechanical hand. "See ya in the other side!" Duke says, as Sarah then throws him at full force into the town.
As The Magekeeps Elder showed his orb to the Fairy Slime, a fierce blow through the Elder's face. "It's over you son of a bitch!" Duke yelled, pressing his Fire Orb's staff at his face and pushing his skull into the ground and blasts a powerful Fire Blast at his face, disintegrating him. "You ok, ma'am?" Duke turned. "BEHIND YOU!" Bourbon yelled. The corpse of the Elder Magekeeps then stood up and then holds out its arm into a Water Blade, then slashes towards Duke. He then manages to dodge...but his arms didn't.
"Fuck!" He yelped, seeing both his arms fall to the ground and looking at the headless Elder Magekeeps. The Elder's head immediately forms from the water provided by the Dragon Water Orb. "So close...Kill him!" The Elder commanded the surrounding Magekeeps.
Though this time, they were pointing their wands at the Elder Mage. "What!?" He then noticed that none of their eyes were Lue anymore. He looked up and sees that all the orbs in the Mage Towers were slashed apart.
There were mages battling against the Magekeeps Elites in the background, but most of them are shooting their water wands as the Elder. Most of them don't even know how to use wands naturally.
Duke then fell to his knees, his arms bleeding until she was caught by Bourbon. "Guildmaster Duke!" She called and helped him up, walking through the battlefields within the town and lay him near the tavern. "Bourbon, I remember you..." He chuckled. "Spare your last words." She pulls out two slime balls from her purse and then slaps them on both his stumps, hardening and preventing the blood to flow. "Are there others?" Bourbon asked. "Yeah, they're coming..." He said, before fainting. "Ugh," she said annoyingly, she then stood up to look for the fairy slime...
Rift held out his sword against a Magekeeps Elite in the battlefield. "Thieves like you deserve no place in the new world!" The mage announced, showing off his golden water staff. "I don't remember Honey Town having thieves either!" Jacko walked by Rift's side. "Tsk, this isn't fair..." The mage then holds out his staff and then summons water clouds pouring out quick Water bullets from the sky.
Jacko then summons water slimes and throws them up at the clouds, bursting them up into harmless water. Rift runs through the empty field to slash down the Elite. He then casts a Water Forcefield. Rift then turns the sword into a whip to pull out the staff to deactivate the shield. "Asshole!" The Elite yelled, as his face is then smashed and bitten off by Grom. The Magekeeps screamed in agony as the slime devours it's face. "...Oops" Jacko shivered, killing people didn't feel nice at all. He gags and holds his mouth. Rift then holds his shoulder. "Buddy that was the most brutal kill I've ever seen."
Rift said, watching Grom spit out a chunk of the man's face and keeps going at it.
The Elder Magekeeps ragefully turns his arms into Water Blades, slashing every single one of the rouge magekeeps down, most of them ran away, since most of them weren't even fighters. Suddenly, a stream of Dragon Fire shoots from right behind him, melting some of his back. "Don't you dare burn the pants off if you fear the beast!" The Elder then turns his Water Blade into a large Water Dragon Claw at the source of fire.
Sarah barely blocked the attack with her Mechanical Arms, its thrusters from it's elbows began to activate. "Damn it...How is he getting this much power!?" She said.
The Elder cackled maniacally as his body begins to grow into a shape, his flesh had already been ripped from it's body. "I'll accept it all, even if I have to destroy the damn town! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" The Elder increasesnkts pressure on the Arms of Sarah. She then finally decided to blast fire from the palms to push herself back, escaping from the grasp and looking up. "Oh my god." She gasped.
Jacko unsummons Grom and then sees multiple people that have been freed from the Magekeeps' influence runs by them. "Jacko..." Rift gasped, looking at the rising beast in the distance. Jacko then yelped as he turned his head there.
Bourbon notices the shadow casted from the middle of town. "No...no..no..." She looked back and gasps in horror.
A Water Dragon has completely taken form within the Dust Town. "YOU'RE ALL DONE FOR NOW!"
