《Lazy Ash》79. Easy, Beauty, and a Dream

Ciar
The battle started off extremely well, thanks to my silver flames everyone was able to fight at max power. For at least 5 mins anyway.
Spreading it out to a group of people was much harder than I thought. But I never had to use a full 5-minute use of my powers. All of the enemies were pretty much massacred. There wasn't a single thing any of them could do against the full might of anyone in our group. In fact it came down to taking turns after a game of rock paper sissors to decide the order.
War or Pet was the first one to go. She managed to get the biggest group of monsters out of everyone about 100 and dove in with a smile of glee on her face. She pulled out a huge sword from nowhere and started butchering every creature that came her way. The sword was about the size of the one from that game Master had me play with the spiky yellow haired guy. Although it looked nothing like it. It was like someone extended a cleaver and cut three holes in it. The sight of her covered in blood and gore with a smile of pure ecstasy while ramming the arm of one creature down anothers mouth? will forever be burned into my mind. From this I can understand why Master said therapy is a life essential.
The next person to go was Bosbeass. The fight barely lasted 5 seconds.I had no time to even count his but it was at least close to Pet's number. In fact we didn't even stop walking forward. In a split moment all the creatures were smashed into paste. None of us even saw him move or do anything besides walk
forward while eating a hotpocket. Gods are supposed to have amazing abilities but they aren't invincible. This god though was hands down scarier than even mama and papa combined! And he is just a lower god still!? The control he has on his power has to be monstrous.
The new hag Fox Alice was next. She pulled out a single katana and walked into a group. Unlike with Pet there was nothing brutal or savage about the way she killed. She floated and danced around her enemies. Dropping each one with what looked like simple yet elegant swings. She had an emotionless expression throughout her dance and at the end not a single drop of blood could be found on her or her blade yet all her enemies which numbered at almost 50 just fell. When she came back to us I told her that she is no longer counted as a hag fox but as a beautiful fox. Her fighting was just like watching a show
it was just beautiful. She gave me an amused looked and asked why she was considered as a hag in the first place. I just looked over at her sister. She saw my look and just let out an "ahhhh". She smiled and scratched behind my ears. She wasn't too bad but she didn't have Masters level of skill. The hag fox kept shooting me annoyed looks the I purposely ignored.
When we came to the next group it was right at our rendezvous point. So the last to fight was actually the stupid chicken. She was nowhere near as impressive as the others but was still able to take out all the enemies swiftly. All she did was pull out a bow made of silver and light. She pulled it back and looked at the approaching monsters. With a quick nod she released her bow and one arrow of light shot forward. That one arrow turned into 23 and burrowed into 23 heads ending them all in an instant. She could've done something cool. Master would've.

Thinking back on how hard it was for Master to kill these weird creatures, makes all of this seem like a really bad joke. It was truly that easy.
We progressed smoothly into the city, in fact we were the first to arrive at our rendezvous point. According to Bosbeass we were to wait for Rhea's and Oinari's teams before moving forward.
"Where is everyone? I mean out of all the teams our level of power isn't all that great. I mean we even have Lucifers slutty daughter and a new Lower God. All the others have true powerhouses. So how is it we made it here first?" The hag fox asked.
"Please don't call my niece a slut." The chicken replied.
"But I kinda am aunt Alita. I spent a seriously short amount of time on earth and fucked quite a few men and women. Yourself included." Racheal spoke out.
The chicken just covered her eyes and shook her head with a sigh. But then stiffened. "Wait! You spent that time mostly with.......(she looked at Bosbeass and Beauty Fox) him."
"True but we went to quite a few stores where he just waited outside I had fun in between. He was so exhausted when I first showed up that he past out. So I only gave him a simple blow job but who'da thought that kid would start eating me out in my sleep. I have been eaten out before but damn can he use his tongue! I shiver in anticipation on what he can do awake!"
"No." The hag fox glared at Racheal.
"No?"
"You will not ever have sex with him. What he has is enough and I will be damned if the whore of hell gets added in!"
"Oh c'mon I already blew him what the harm in letting me ride his little monster which is not so little. You'd think for a short guy he wouldn't be so well endowed but "whistle" he can give a few demons a run for their money."
"The answer is no! Alita back me up here!"
The chicken just repeated her sigh.
"Well well sister it seems you have a potential mate? Why is it you have kept this quiet as your older sister is it my duty to make sure he is worthy of you." Beauty Fox said with narrowed eyes that had a suspicious gleam in them. She walked up to the hag fox and her entire body radiated that she wanted answers.
Both the hag and the chicken went stiff as they realized that the Hag messed up. It was both funny and worrying. Funny because of stupidity and worrying because Master is trying to stay hidden from other Kitsune. I started to get a little mad and glared at the two. How dare they put my Master at risk!
The hag fox stared into her sisters eyes while shivering in fear. I was scared she might actually crack so I got ready to put my flames around the the hag and chicken. I was going to order them to take down the beauty fox otherwise
they will put Master in danger.
"The answer to your earlier question Inari is the pup glaring murderously at all of you right now." Bosbeass spoke out breaking the tension between all of us.
"Bosbeass is right. Without the daughter of Cerberus we'd have faced a much tougher time. Gods can at most block a portion of Abyss's power but she can fully neutralize it. Allowing us to fight at full strength. The average strength of these abominations is only Class 4 demi-god. Which all of us besides the pup can slaughter as easily as breathing. The others don't have that luxury they have to fight with all their members while actually having

tough and deadly battles. In the scheme of things we are technically the strongest team out of them all."
All of stared at Pet in disbelief.
"What?" She looked at all of us a little offended. "My name is War for fucks sake! War isn't just straight up fighting. Strategy is important as well!" She turned around and started pouting.
Even though I know her and Master have some kind of past she still helped him. So I jumped on her shoulder and licked her face in thanks. She smiled and petted me.
"Well don't all of you just look so fucking dandy!" We all heard a shout and turned to see Rhea and one other woman. Both looked like they had seen better days.
"Now now Evergreen just because we didn't fare as well as them doesn't mean you have the right to speak to them like that."
Rhea was wearing a green robe that was torn, tattered, and covered in blood. Her long dark hair was pasted to her head with blood and sweat. Her skin was cover in mud and blood and marred with several cuts. In her left hand she held a bloody long sword and her feet were bare and bloody. Still she had a smile on her face as she approached.
The woman that Rhea called Evergreen was in worse shape than Rhea. She was wearing emerald green armor that shined even covered in blood. The armor was badly beaten even cracked and broken in places. She had neon green hair and jade colored eyes. She was so green that I started to get a little sick looking at her. Even her skin was a dark forest green. She looked to be in her early thirties and Master would classify her as an hour glass. Something I haven't been able to figure out. She did have a big chest area and perfect birth giving hips. I wonder if that is the case? I'll ask have to ask Master. She was really tall as well at least taller than Master by a foot and she had a bit of a gentle complexion despite having a snarl on her face.
"My Goddess we lost everyone! We barely made it here and yet these people are having a nice chat while looking none the worse! If I didn't know any better I say they-
"ENOUGH!" Rhea turned to the woman and yelled. She then turned to me and gave me a gentle smile. "Ciar dear you think you can use your flames on me so I can fix us up?"
I nodded and place my flames around her. The constant use of my flames was starting to get tiring so I was hoping after this we could rest a little.
Rhea thanked me and then with a simple flash both she and Evergreen were restored. Although Rhea did have a trace of weariness in her eyes.
"Much better now do you understand my Dear Champion?" Rhea asked Evergreen.
Evergreen nodded and looked at me with a frown. "But if you knew what the pup could do why not put her on our team or one o the other higher gods?"
"Well partly because a small part of me want my "Fellow" gods to be weakened so I can "help" them in an emergency. I one or two of them dies I'll be sure to take nice care of their worlds. The other part is if she wasn't with this team in particular and something happened a certain person will be severely upset with me."
I am not entirely sure what the others were feeling at that moment but I was filled with fear and respect for my Masters goddess. When I ascend as an adult and have Master accept my blessing I'll be sure to make him wary of her. Otherwise I may need to take care of this woman.
"Well then I guess I should thank you for putting me on this team Rhea still I am curious why you would be bothered if someone is upset with you? You aren't the type to care about whether or not someone likes you. Could it be that this person has a special significance?" Bosbeass asked.
Rhea gave him a smile that made everyone take a step back even her champion. Ater that no one dared to approach the subject again and we all sat in silence waiting for Oinari's team. Although a few glares were exchanged between Evergreen and our group.
It didn't take much longer for Oinari's group to arrive. They were in much better shape than Rhea and Evergreen as they had 3 people instead of 2. Beauty and Hag Fox had expressions of relief upon seeing their mother and sister. Oinari's group was still covered in various wounds and each kitsune had hollow looks. Oinari saw our states and frowned. He turned to Rhea and gave her a look filled with suspicion.
"I would like an explanation Rhea." His tone was filled with command.
"Oinari you know my secrets are my own. Just because you had a bit of a rough time doesn't mean I am going to tell them to you nor does it mean you can command me." Her tone was gentle yet disapproving and she had a smile that was usually reserved for disappointing children.
Oinari's eyes flashed with fury and he took a threatening step towards Rhea. Rhea kept her smile but her eyes narrowed and a dark glint flashed through them.
"My god the reason we are in such great shape is all due to the little one here she has the ability to completely negate the power of Abyss. Although it is somewhat a double edge sword if she doesn't have complete focus she could harm us as well." Alice explained.
He turned his gaze towards me. "Give me your flames now child!" he ordered.
I thought really hard about what would be considered a suitable answer by Masters standards.
"Sure bend over I'll shove my flames so far up your high and mighty ass you will be breathing silver flames for years!" I hope I said that right. I really miss Master we never got to finish the insults part of my education.
The fury in his eyes grew at my words his face was even starting to turn an interesting shade of purple. Everyone else was looking at me in shock and the whole area fell back into silence.
"What worthless low life would teach such a young deity such vulgar words!?" Evergreen was the first to break the silence.
"My Master teaches me everything! And he is not a low life! Master may be lazy, play a lot of games, has no ambitions in life, despises people, has a thing for older women, would rather buy a new tv than program a remote, and steals whatever he feels like but he is most definitely not a low life!" I was angered by her words how dare she insult my Master.
All the eyes on me were filled with pity for some reason. Beauty fox walked up at that moment and started petting my head.
"Little one could you please give your flames to my god so he can fix my mother and sister?" she asked me gently.
I frowned a bit and looked over at the Meany fox. "Tell him to say sorry and to be nice for now on." I saw Meany's eye twitch at my words. Beauty had an amused smile and raised an eye at Meany everyone else was hiding their mouths behind their hands.
"I....I'm.....sorry." After he apologized I nodded.
"Good Meany. Master says to make sure others always admit their faults even if they are in the right and more powerful. I should always win even in the smallest and most petty of ways."
Meany's face turned a pure dark purple and I could see him getting ready to retort but Hags mommy laid a hand on Meany's shoulder and shook her head. Meany developed a real bad eye twitch and let out a sigh. Then he turned and looked at me expectantly.
I put my flames around him and he fixed up his group. I took my flames off almost instantly and nodded. "You should thank Mama Hag Meany. Had you spoken I'd of let you march all the way to the end in your wounded state."
"Mama H-Hag!?" Momma Hag choked.
"Mmmmm as far as I know you could be like the Hag Fox and not Beauty."
"Beauty?" Mama Hag looked over at her.
"Yes when she fights it's quite beautiful."
"Well of course it is she is my daughter I assure you I am quite beautiful when I fight as well!"
"Really? Hmmm then I'll call you Mama Beauty then but if you are lying your name will Oldy Liar Hag."
A look of fear passed through her eyes and then Hags other sister walked forward. "So what am I?"
"You smell like blood even when clean not to mention your natural aura reeks of death. So you are Deady."
"Oh you are quite the perceptive little one. Tell me is there anything else?" She just smiled at my name for her.
"You and Master should never meet."
"Oh why is that?"
"You would almost definitely make him as much of a monster as you are as your natures are perfect compliments."
A mischievous grin crossed her face. "Interesting. Someone whose nature actually alines perfectly with mine. Now that does sound like fun." A light flashed through her eyes.
I felt a chill run through me at her words and Chicken and Hag had worried looks on their faces.
"Alright enough talking we need to hurry to Abyss this needs to be ended." Rhea announced to us all.
----------------------
Our Trip to Abyss's location was surprisingly uneventful. It was really quite. When we first can up to the black ice Master left behind.
All around everything was frozen solid. There were some of the mutations encased as we walked towards the center. When we rounded the corner we finally figured out why it was so quiet.
The center had been transformed into a place of worship. Row upon row of mutations were all bowing to a Frozen Abyss. They had made an altar with offerings of severed body parts. Up by the altar were 2 Children with spiky Tails.
When we took our first step inside a wave of black mist descended on the area. All of us instantly were forced to kneel due to the huge loss in strength we all suffered. I wrapped a small amount of flames on myself so I could stand the others had to struggle to stand back up. The gods had the worst of it though each of the had pale complexions and were breathing much harder than before. Despite this all the monsters made no move. The two kids by the altar turned to us with a
smile.
"Welcome honored guests! You have come at a great time and even brought us a great gift! Actually bringing our lords perfect vessel with you!" The two spoke in perfect synch.
"We are here to end your lord nothing more abominations!" Oinari yell.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk. More fools who don't understand our lords grace and perfection." The kids shared a smile and held out their hands palms up. Then they closed them into fists. All of us tensed waiting for something to happen. Despite the fact we were somewhat prepared it didn't matter all of us were shackled by black chains that completely sapped all our strength.
"How is this possible!? Abyss is still trapped!" Rhea screamed.
"True. But we have managed to make a small pen sized hole to him allowing him to grant us his blessing. We have spent a considerable amount of time preparing for all of your arrival. We thought you would all show up thirty years ago but thankfully you did not. Soon though thanks to all of you we will be able to revive our lord in the perfect body! We should share this moment with all of your friends!"
With a wave every god, immortal, and demi-god that came on this mission appeared. They were all in pretty bad shape and from the looks of it almost half weren't even here most likely killed along the way. Which explains the freshly severed body parts on the altar.
There was only one thing that I could do. I pushed my power to its limits and let it explode out with a wave. My flames filled the area with screams. A force ripped through the area and my flames cleared. My vision was hazy and my body weak but I could tell I managed to take out all of the weaker monsters and free everyone.
"Excellent work little one! Don't worry we will handle the rest!" I heard a voice call out.
I knew that this wouldn't be enough so I pulled a little on Masters power. I was instantly overflowing with strength. My vision didn't clear up and my body was slightly weak still but at least I could move and help out. I looked out and saw multiple powerful figures ripping apart monsters. The two children were trying to wrap chains around people again but everytime they do I would send out flames to wrap around the person and with that quick boost in strength a group of monsters would be ended instantly. I was going to just slap my flames on a god to nd this instantly but the kids kept a close eye on me trying to attack me the second my guard was down.
"Ok testing testing. Is this thing on? Ciar can you hear me?"
I was startled for a second.
"Master!?"
I was really surprised I knew master was smart but to be able to figure out the bond so quickly without my help was just amazing. I was really happy to hear his voice as well.
"Whew holy shit Ciar ya scared me. Where you at pup?"
"Master help! We are trying to attack small penis man in the same spot you attacked him at Chernobyl!"
"Uh pup you're kinda breaking up didn't know that was possible with telepathy but okay. I swear to goddess if I get George Takei on the line Ima be pissed."
"Breaking up? Master that's not funny we are telepathically linked there's no way-
"Do not bother vessel I have blocked your link the accursed one. I cannot allow you to give him information that will stop us." The two children told me.
"Ciar? Ciaaaaarrrrrr?" I heard Master still trying to contact me but everytime time I tried to reply there was no answer now.
"It seems I need to help our lords followers before something unexpected happens." The two children took a step forward and appeared next to an immortal. They grabbed him and tossed him into the air like it was nothing then the tails behind them split into four parts. Each part was filled with razor sharp teeth. The tails shot up towards the airborne immortal and bit him in half instantly.
Everyone stopped and looked at the two in shock. The sound of crunching filled the air as the tails chewed up the immortal. The two children turned a cold smile on everyone and spoke.
"I am Lord Abyss's top follower. You may call me End." They said.
"You both have one name?" The Hag asked sarcastically.
They just smiled in reply.
"Now as I have just proven in here I am far more powerful than any of you so you have a choice die or watch as we resurrect our lord."
"How about the option where we just kick your ass!" War said and charged towards the two. They shook their heads and with a casual sweep of their tails they sent War flying blood spewed from her mouth as she flew through the air and slammed into an ice wall.
"Does anyone else wish to challenge me? Don't worry about the others they will not interfere." Ends gazed at everyone with a smug grin.
"Master finds people like you creepy."
They turn to me and raised an eyebrow. "And?"
"No and, just felt it needed saying."
I stared into the eyes of the two children called End, and started thinking. I can provide only 5 minutes of protection. So what I needed to do was pick someone and have them take down these two. Only problem is the closest is Mama beauty and I know nothing of her fighting capabilities besides the short skirmish she had here with the monsters. I saw that she was different from Beauty fox. She held one long silver sword with a simple handle in her right hand and in her left was a golden dagger with nine different colored jewels on it. From the short amount I saw she uses the dagger as a form of defense and primarily attacks with her sword, but if her opponent forgot about the dagger they suffered for it.
I tried looking around at all my options and couldn't find anyone I thought would be better that I could actually make it to so I had no choice it had to be her.
"Mama Beauty!" She turned towards me as I unleashed the full strength of my flames on her. She smiled at me in thanks and charged towards the two children. Her sword shining brightly with light as it chopped towards one of Ends necks.
"I see you did have that option, unfortunately even that won't be enough."
The one whose neck was being attack raised his arm and a blade made out of mist appeared to block the strike. I was shocked to see how easy it was. I have no doubt that Mama Beauty's sword contained enough power to ever threaten a god yet End was able to block it effortlessly.
From there both of the End's started attacking. On each of their legs and arms black blades would appear and disappear in a blur only appearing to attack or defend. Mama Beauty was put on the defensive immediately. No matter how hard she tried or how much energy she put in there was no chance for her to gain any ground and the second it looked like she was one of the End's tails would strike out and force her back again.
I felt fear finally creep up in my heart. I chose wrong.... I didn't have choice but still maybe if I'd tried harder......Master.
"I see so thats why you are able to fight on par with me! You are pulling power directly from your god!"
I looked up in surprise at Mama Beauty. Ends eyes were narrowed at her. She smiled in return.
"Hey little one cut half your flames off me and put them around him!"
"Your time will be shortened!" I warned her.
I did what she said and threw some flames on End. He tried to dodge but Mama Beauty moved in and stopped him allowing my flames to settle nicely on him/them....I really want to know whats up with that.
Almost immediately the fight changed. Mama Beauty's light element flared like a blazing sun and blasted the End's across the area. They smashed into a frozen building. When the light cleared there was water where all the ice used to be and the frozen building was now only half frozen the other half was looked like a bomb dropped on it.
Mama Beauty smirked and then proceeded to annihilate all the monster in the area soon the place was filled with hundred of charred mutated corpses.
"Now we end Abyss everyone get-
Before the voice could finish I was watching a spikes slightly charred tail approaching me at top speed. I had no chance to dodge. The tail impacted me and I felt several spikes dig into my side and the next thing I know I was soaring through the feeling my life slipping, and wishing I could see Master one last time. My body landed on the ice with a cold thump. I could see my blood slowly pulling around me. I stared forward at a bunch of frozen buildings waiting for my end to come.
As the last bit of strength in my body started seeping away I dreamed I saw Master climb out of a dark spot and look at the frozen building in front of me.
