Chapter 585: Chapter 585 – Number 1 player – Part 4.
As soon as the tribal man appeared, Powin instantly took out her weapons, but before she could even attack, Phantasia put his arm in front of her, telling her without saying any word to stand down.
"..."
"Tell me." – said Phantasia.
"Are you the priests that guards the divinity of this temple."
"This is correct, the divine one." – replied the figure as it lifted up its head, revealing its face to be nothing more than cloud of darkness beneath the leopard helmet mouth.
"And you, are not welcomed here."
"Leave this place the divinity bearer, for you have already divinity of your own."
"I know." – replied Phantasia.
"I just wanted to come and check." – said Phantasia as he turned around.
"Well then, you have it."
"So don’t fuck up now."
"Trust me. I won’t." – replied Powin as Phantasia walked away and then left the dungeon all together, before then attempting to leave the cave itself.
"Maparapara. It’s me. Open up." – said Phantasia as she massive purple lava slime moved away, allowing the mad man to leave the cave.
"So, was it hit?" – asked Maparapra.
"Yeb. It was." – replied Phantasia.
"So, what now? Do we leave her?" – asked Maparapra.
"No. We have a deal and I wouldn’t really want to hurt our relationship now." – replied Phantasia.
"We guard the entrance until she does the ritual."
"If the enemy sabotages the ritual, then we will be forced to help her get another divinity."
"..."
"Tell me honestly." – said Maparapara.
"You do have enough money to break the contract, don’t you?"
"Of course I do." – replied Phantasia.
"Anyway, I’m going to have a look around."
"?"
"What for?" – asked Maparapara.
"I just... Want to check something." – said Phantasia.
"Specifically, how did these guys realized that this place was the location where the temple was at."
"!"
"Oh right, what about the fifth recruit?" – asked Maparapra.
"Did Thanatos already recruited somebody the fifth member or not?"
"...You know what, check it." – replied Phantasia.
"While I got and check things out, you contact her and ask that."
"Honestly it would be problematic if she hasn’t found somebody."
[Meanwhile at the Fang Swamp]
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" – shouted Orion as she jumped from tree from tree as the massive ugly werewolf like creature with green fur was chasing after her, destroying the tree in its way.
[Swamp Werewolf Troll – Level 495]
"How the hell this giant ass bastard so fast?!" – shouted Orion as in the next moment, Thanatos instantly ran past her and swung her scythe, cutting off both of the giant’s legs, which ended up causing the giant to instantly fall down.
"...Eh?" – Orion stared dumbfounded.
"What are you doing! Attack!" – shouted Sengen as she instantly started bombardment with her serpent magic.
"Y-yes!" – replied Orion as she started unleashing her arrows at the fallen giant monster.
The monster tried lifting up one of its arms, but the exact moment it did that Thanatos swooped in and cut off its arm, before then using shadow magic to bind its other arm, completely locking the creature and making it helpless against the two other players assault, allowing them exterminate the creature.
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]
"Hey. Are you still okay? Or do you want break?" – asked Thanatos.
"S-short break if possible." – replied Sengen.
"Okay. I will keep the watch." – said Thanatos.
"..."
(Wow... She is really a monster.) – thought Sengen.
(I mean, when we tried immobilizing this monster just now, we couldn’t do it.)
(But she easily cut off its arm and legs?! And even locked in place that thing?)
(I get that this thing is only bit higher level than me, but that thing is probably something like mini boss! The amount of exp, even though shared, was enough for me to level up 3 times!)
(...And there is also that girl. Orion.)
(She is much lower level than me and way weaker, but yet, she is still keeping up, even though it is noticeable harder for her compare to me.)
(And yet... She is keep pushing forward.)
(...Hm... I think she would grow up nicely.)
"..."
(Well, these two are doing way better than I’ve thought.) – thought Thanatos while sitting on top of the branch.
(At the rate things are going, they should be able to reach level 500... But I think I should go for that 550.)
(If they really get combat tests, then they will REALLY get fucked hard.)
[Maparapara sent you a message.]
["Yo. You have time?"] – Maparapara.
"?"
["I have, but make it quick. No video call."] – Thanatos.
["Did you found that fifth member yet?"] – Maparapara.
["Yeah. Her name is Sengen. I will explain later a deal I’ve had made with her, but she was a perfect pick and she will be loyal."] – Thanatos.
["I’m also helping out in leveling up both Sengen and that other girl that Phantasia recruited named Orion."]
["It will take time, but I’m using the hardcore leveling up method to boost their level as soon as possible."]
["Once they both reach level 550, I will tell both of you."]
"..." – Thanatos looked down towards the two recruits and noticed that they were still recovering.
["I have bit more time. What about things on your end?"] – Thanatos.
"..."
["It is bit complicated."] – Maparapara.
["We have a bit of situation and I think you will need to have a proper talk with us."]
"?"
(Oh boy... Something definitely bad had happened.) – thought worried Thanatos.
(For fuck’s sake. What is it this time?)
"Hey! We are ready!" – shouted Orion as she and Sengen had finished their recovery.
"..."
["I’m going back to work. Good luck with your problem."] – Thanatos.
(But seriously. Do I even want to know what happened?) – thought Thanatos.
<<Maparapara filled me in after I’ve returned from my inspection.>>
<<About... The fifth member being "female"....>>
<<...>>
<<God fucking dammit.>>
<<I mean, it is not that I’m mad that we had managed recruit the fifth member.>>
<<BUT I’M MAD THAT NOW I’M TRULY THE ONLY MALE IN OUR WHOLE GROUP!>>
<<I MEAN! COMMON!>>
<<IT LOOKS LIKE I’M SOME KIND OF HAREM PROTAGONIST WANABE NOW!>>
<<For crying out fucking loud!>>
<<I didn’t wanted that!>>
<<I recruited Thanatos and Maparapara because they were USEFUL and had potential!>>
<<But I wanted one of the new recruits to be at least MALE!>>
<<MALE!>>
<<I get that we didn’t had enough time and what not... But common.>>
<<I can already imagine people calling me something like "scummy harem bastard".>>
<<I... I really don’t fucking want to be called harem bastard.>>
<<...Should I fuck it and just create the male homunculuses?>>
<<But if I were to do that, then things could end up... Problematic to say the least.>>
<<But I don’t really want to be called a "harem bastard".>>
<<I’m fine will all sorts of insults, but I don’t want a freaking harem.>>
<<...>>
<<*Sigh*>>
<<I will... I will think about this later.>>
<<For now, here is overview of the situation.>>
<<I was inspecting how the Coins Toss managed to locate the possible location where the table was.>>
<<Results? Nothing.>>
<<Or to be more exact, they checked every dig site that they had checked and it was somewhat random.>>
<<Still, they must had did a lot of work.>>
<<This place is crawling with somewhat high-level monsters that in great numbers could an annoyance... Which somewhat explains why that tree vine covered mountain had no hostile monsters around. They exterminated them.>>
<<Huh... They must had really spent a LOT of time in order to clean up this place.>>
<<But now we pretty much reap everything they did... Well, Powin does.>>
<<Still, I’m worried about something.>>
<<That divinity.>>
<<What if she doesn’t get legendary class but instead mythical one?>>
<<From what I saw based on the interior and that priest’s appearance, the theme was about weather or just thunder and maybe something to do with "warrior"?>>
<<I don’t know, but... No.>>
<<No use complaining now.>>
<<...Still... Maybe this non-aggression contract could result in nice misunderstanding.>>
<<The Coin Toss saw as us two and Powin were working together... Will they think that we had formed an alliance?>>
<<If that is the case, these bastards will be put under heavy pressure if they REALLY get that misunderstanding mess with their heads.>>
<<Anyway, from what I’ve seen, there was nothing really to do.>>
<<It seems Coin Toss really had given up on this place.>>
<<Still... The deal was the deal, so we waited... And waited... And waited... For few hours we waited.>>
<<Until Powin walked out of the cave.>>
"..."
[The Divinity Of Oasis And Beauty is reacting to presence of another divinity.]
[The Divinity Of The Pure Destruction is reacting to presence of another divinity.]
"Huh. So, you freaking did it. Didn’t you?" – said Phantasia.
"Of course." – said Powin as she walked fully out of the cave, revealing her appearance to be still exactly the same... Expect for one thing.
There was some kind of tribal marks on her arms, which Phantasia instantly noticed.
(Tattoos? She didn’t had them before.) – thought Phantasia.
"So, did your race has also changed?" – asked Phantasia.
"Nope. Still me." – replied Powin.
"Is this normal? Or should had changed?"
"Well, it depends on the divinity." – replied Phantasia.
"Some divinities give you a new race, some don’t."
"Anyway, might telling me what divinity is?"
"Hm... How about you two tell me yours in exchange?" – replied Powin.
"..." – the two sides went silent.
"..."
"Anyway, with this the deal has been finished, didn’t it?" – asked Phantasia.
"Yeah, it had." – replied Powin.
"Honestly, I was expecting you to pull something... But I guess I was right."
"And the word and the contract were already spoken so fine."
"From now I won’t be getting in your way."
"Until all four major factions had been dealt with."
