《My Hermit Life》Chapter 24
Advertisement
In a certain clearing in a massive forest of Gods there is currently a free-for-all battle going on between a centaurion, two dragons, and a monkey dragon that looks oddly like a human. These four are Solomon, Loretta, Alastair, and Gabbrielle. They were currently battleing inside a formation that makes all their stats an even 1000.
" Man I thought you guys would actually be a challenge considering how old you are all compared to me. I litterally dont even have to move and yall still cant hit me. "
" Youre lucky that my stats are limited or I could break through your shitty Barrier Magic easier than an arrow through glass. "
" If I was fighting someone 1000 years younger than me I could to. "
As the two men bickered back and forth the Centaurion and the female dragon were both preparing a magic to destroy each other.
" You know children in order to call this a free-for-all you cant just team up together. "
" I know Grandma. "
The Instant Solomon said that he trapped Loretta in box of Barrier Magic. After he did that he filled the box with millions of electrical currents. While Solomon was pre-occupied with Loretta, Gabbrielle trapped Alastair using a space magic.
" Great execution sis, I guess with them incapacitated its just you vs me. "
" Yep and for this situation I specifically prepared a formation for restraining you. "
While Solomon and Gabbrielle were bantering back and forth both were preparing trump cards to take down the other person.
" Barrier Seal! "
" Space seal! "
In a surprising turn of events the match ended in a tie, with both Solomon and Gabbrielle sealed.
" Well done children, especially you Solomon, it is very impressive to be able to tie with other Legendary beasts hundreds of years older than you. "
" Thank you grandma your praise brings me happiness. "
" Why must you remain so unfamiliar with me? I have told you multiple times for the past few months to stop being so polite. "
" Then can you help me out of the seal please? "
" Why should I help someone I am not familiar enough to be unformal with? "
" Because that someone is your grandson who will put a good word in to his Master, for someone to have a "date" with. That is is grandma is still into my Master. "
After Solomon said that his grandmother waved her scaled hand allowing him to be free of the space seal.
" You can deal with the other three. "

" Im just going to release Loretta, the other two can free themselves. " Saying that the monkey dragon shrugged his shoulder and released his wife-to-be.
" You ok babe? "
As soon as the female centaur was released she glared at her man and said. " What kind of asshole betrays his fiancee? "
" The competitive kind, I guess. I can tell you are still angry, so how about we cut to the chase and you tell me how I can make it up to you. "
After contemplating for a bit Loretta flashes a grin that sends shivers down Solomons spine. " If you can hold out for five minutes against your mother with both having equal stats I will forgive you. "
The Sexy Dragon that is Solomons grandmother grins and instantly says " How about you lower the time limit to two minutes and have him verse me? "
" OOOO that is perfect Grandmother-in-law, that is the best thing I have heard today. Thank you Grandma for helping me discipline my honey. "
" Its fine child, after all us ladies have to stick together. "
Throughout this whole conversation the poor monkey boys complexion gets paler and paler, until eventually he feels light-headed.
" Alright boy-o get your butt over here, you are in for the ride of a lifetime! "
After both got into position and were ready to fight Loretta finally decided to start the countdown
" 3! 2! 1! GO! "
The instant she said go Donec launched herself straight at Solomon. Solomon though was prepared for this and held up his 6' long wooden bo-staff. When Donec was in range Solomon jabbed the staff directly for his grandmothers gut, unfortunately though his attack was side stepped. After expertly dodging Solomons strike Donec moved into close range in order to land a hit on Solo. Solomon though wasnt having none of that and instantly jumped back while sweeping his staff at Donecs legs, effectively tripping her. Solomon not being one to lose a chance tried to connect a hit on his grandmothers gut area once again. Unfortunately Donec used Space Magic while her body performed an almost physic defying roll. After she was safely on her feet Donec used space magic to increase pressure surrounding Solomon making it harder to stand let alone walk or attack. Donec using her newly gained advantage to move in for a strike towards Solomons wide open chest. Solomon would odviously not be completely helpless and used his own Space Magic to not only Negate his grandmothers but to also loosen the space around her throwing her off of her balance. Seeing Donec off balance Solomon used his Wood Magic to increase the length off his staff making the end ram into Donecs back. Seing his advantage Solomon continues attacking ferociously repeatedly hitting his grandmother in various spots. He even used his Barrier Magic to crush her while electrocuting her.

" TIME! "
When Solomon heard that he suddenly felt as though he awoke from a deep sleep. After looking around in curiousity Solomon finally decided to speak up.
" What just happened? "
" I used Illusion Magic on you boy. And I was watching the whole fight and I have to say, WHAT THE HELL? I am you grandmother and yet you still attacked me so visciously, you didnt even try to feel me up. I swear you are wierd. "
Solomon nervously shuffled for a bit before thinking up a good excuse. " It must have been your magic acting up, because I would never hit my grandmother let alone so savagely. "
" Uh-huh you know you are lucky I was being nice or I could have whooped your butt so hard your cheeks would be like pancakes. "
" Then its a good thing I have such a benevolent grandmother. Anyway, since I technically lasted three minutes you legally have to forgive me now Loretta. "
" Says who? " Said a certain female cantaur with the cutest pouty look to have ever graced the planet.
" Says my beautiful fiancee one night when she got drunk. "
Loretta having her curiosity peaked decides to humour him a little. " What are you talking about? "
" Yeah I recall that not long ago a very pretty lady got drunk and started laying down some rules. When she was questioned she even tried arresting her poor poor fiancee yelling " I am the law, nobody can question me! " I gotta say that lady was pretty wild, I wouldnt break her rules if I was you. "
" Alright alright I forgive you, but you are cooking me dinner tonight. I also want a date with just the two of us. "
" That sound wonderful. Honestly after sparring with you and my cousins so much recently I have been wanting a break. How about we meet at the shack at around 8 o'clock. "
" Alright that sounds wonderful. I will see you there. "
" Alright see ya babe. "
After saying that they both go seperate ways Solomon even walks off with a little spring in his step.
6 hours later
" Hello pretty lady, follow me and I will show you to your table. "
" Solo why are you acting like this? "
" I dont know I thought it would be romantic. I guess it didnt work though. "
Loretta after shaking her head confirming his statement decided to say " If you just act like yourself I will be happy you know. Solomon we have been together for five years you should know me well enough by now to know that I dont like that kind of stuff. I just want us to spend time together and be happy. "
" I know, but Im just a helpless romantic and cant help it sometimes. "
" I wouldnt mind it if you were actually romantic, least by my standards. "
" I could do that if your romantic wasnt hidden deep in enemy territory or killing millions of living beings or burning down entire forests. Actually though I do have something you might like. Follow me. "
After saying that Solomon smirked and started walking towards a new shed Loretta had never seen before. Loretta of course being curious followed him. After walking in Loretta could only see some lines engraved on the floor.
" What the hell is this place Solomon, this looks like some evil cult house. "
" Oh settle down just step onto the formation. "
Despite being Skeptical Loretta still did as she was told and stepped in the middle of the formation along with Solomon. After both of them stepped into the formation Solomon activated it using some Mana. After he activated the formation they suddenly appeared ontop of a mountain which was surrounded by a massive burning forest filled with the screams of hundreds of thousands if not millions dying creatures.
" Solo what the hell is this? "
" Well I figured I could try tickleing your romantic side. I set up this formation when we decided to have a date earlier, I had been planning this for awhile I figured now was the perfect time. I even made it to where we can eat a picnic while enjoying the ambiance, though the food wont actually provide any sustanance. "
While looking around amazed Loretta couldnt help but tell Solomon a few compliments. " Solomon you have outdown yourself this time. I cant believe you were able to accompolish something so amazing. Honestly Im astounded. "
" Well when it comes to making you happy I can go above and beyond my limits. Anyway lets enjoy the scenery and eat. "
Both of them smiled snuggled up on the pic-nic blanket and just watched the world burn.
