Chapter 22

In the morning, when the sun came up not when I woke up as I did not sleep that night, I see ghost fell asleep and Johanna was about to wake her up again when I stopped her.

“Let her sleep, we don’t want her to be exhausted latter” jack

“What about you, shadowlings do need sleep” Johanna

“I can go for as much as a week without sleep before suffering from sleep deprivation” jack

“What caused that?” Lucy

“Sometimes when I stalk my next victim I need to stay awake for long periods of time” jack

At this we all get off and I rinse everyone off with some water magic and we all dry ourselves off with a towel we found in the closet.

When we all, except ghost who we let sleep, go downstairs everyone was looking at us with a mixture of amusement and annoyance.

“thanks for keeping us up all night” selena

“was it really that bad?” Johanna

“no, after 3 hours Mr. Smith cast a sound barrier around your room. But, the damage was done, everyone stayed up most the night dealing with certain issues privately” selena

“so where are our guests?” jack

“they are dead asleep in their room, they somehow managed to get the room farthest from yours as well as it being sound proof.” Sally

“that was planned, didn’t exactly want the kids to hear that” jack

“fair enough” jacobe

At that point our temporary guests came down from their room.

“hear what?” cath

“I had a little fun last night” jack

“in that case, thanks for giving us the recording studio” Mathew

“is that what that room was?” Lucy

After we finish breakfast of ham and eggs we all meet up on the porch outside.

“we can get to auntie’s house by lunch time today if we hurry.” Jack

“alright” Joe

“lets go” sally

“yes” jacobe

“hey can we talk to you for a bit, jack?” Cath

I walk over to where they called me. I see that they have everything they need packed up and ready to go.

“hey, listen, we’re not going to join you guys in your journey, we need to find our wives. But, we were wondering if there was any way we could help you out, I owe you my life after all.” Cath

“I want you to gather up all the survivors you can find, I’m predicting a 20% survival rate. I also want you to put them through this training schedule” jack

As I hand him the schedule he visibly pales. At this time Johanna comes over to us.

“what’s that?” Johanna

Cath hands the paper to Johanna who quickly reads over it.

“what’s with this training schedule, it’s so light.” Johanna

“it’s a watered down version of mine” jack

“an extremely watered down version” Johanna

“are you crazy!? That’s twice as bad as BT!” Cath

“then hand these out to them” jack

I give him a large bag filled with bracelets that I had bought a while back. I had enchanted them to greatly improve stamina and recovery times.

“their are a couple thousand in there, each one has an enchantment that greatly improves stamina and recovery times” jack

“how did you get these?” Mathew

“simple, I made them” jack

“wait, are you trying to build an army?” Cath

“good, you catch on quickly.” Jack

*sigh*” well at least this time I’m the trainer. I’ll help you with this, but only because I think you’ll be successful and you saved my life. Nothing wrong with being on the winning side” Cath

I just smile at this. When I start to walk away Cath’s daughter grabs my pant leg and looks up into my eye.

“You did something to that creepy priest, thanks, he was always making me uncomfortable with how he looked at me” little girl

I smile and nod my head a little before joining the rest of the group.

We start to head out. it was a smooth trip not many aggressive creatures, probably because it was the middle of a city, and the gods didn’t want to kill everyone off. After a while I see a familiar figure in the distance, an old friend.

“who are you?” ghost

“he is the minor god of war, as well as an old friend of mine” jack

“lesser god of war now, jack” war

“oh, you got a promotion? Good for you” jack

“hey war, long time no see” Johanna

“about how old is this god of war” Mr. Smith

“younger than you” jack

“how old do you think I am?” Mr. smith

“more than 400 years old” jack

“how did—“ Mr. smith

“simple, you are the immortal devil Asmodeus, the hero of the last crusade. But, let’s talk about that latter, you obviously didn’t come for nothing war. Let me guess, you want to show off to your old friend in a duel now that you got promoted.” Jack

“you know me so well” war

“unfortunately I don’t have a proper weapon and my seal is still active until I can get the old man’s wife to take it off” jack

“what seal?” selena

“when I came down here I had a seal placed on me to limit 95% of my abilities.” jack

“I can help with both of those problems. Here, swallow this pill, it was made by the chief’s wife to get rid of the seal, unfortunately Johanna has to get hers removed when you get home” war

I take the pill and swallow it quickly.

an extremely powerful curse has been lifted off of you

for having a very powerful curse placed on you and then latter removed you have gained the title cursed child which helps you resist curses

“and here are your favorite weapons.” War

“how the hell did you get into my vault, greater gods struggle to get in there” jack

“I didn’t, the chief did” war

I take my twin daggers and use observe on them.

phantom’s twin daggersdurability: 99999/99999[/td4][td2]Damage 400-500these weapons are used by the serial killer phantom. They have been infused with part of his personality, this process that would normally take generations was greatly sped up by frequently bathing in the blood of godseffects: +100 all stats,

While holding these daggers you are not affected by many emotions(i.e. compassion, fear, etc.)

While holding these daggers you are calm regardless of the situation.

“those daggers are terrifying, I don’t ever want to feel that again” war

“are you ready to start?” jack

“I have to warn you, I have gotten much stronger in these past 2 years” war

“as have I” jack

War pulls a huge battle ax out of thin air and slams it down where I was the moment before. I counter by slicing at his hand, unfortunately my dagger fails to pierce the skin of this god. He yanks his ax out of the ground with ease and with a well trained swing he tries to cut my legs off, I jump over it and land on the ax head only to jump off of it and over wars head. I stab the giant man’s upper back as I come falling back down, luckily this time it pierces the skin and slides. I slid down his back holding on to the daggers cutting through the mussels on either side of the spine. when I land I kick off and sidestep an ax swing that grazes my arm, unfortunately his wounds are staring to heal already. I rush him before he can recover and attempt to stab him through the heart, as that is the only way I can win this fight, only to get impaled by the spike on the tip of his spear and vanish into a puff of smoke. I then stab him in the back through the heart using back stab and assassinate for good measure. All of this took 5 seconds.

“I admit, I lost, I fell for your trap. But tell me, when the hell did you learn illusion magic?” war

“a couple days ago” jack

“that was amazing!” sally

“not as amazing as your breathtaking beauty” war

As he says this he extends his hand to sally while bowing slightly with an award winning smile on his face. Sally starts blushing, well more like her entire face went red. I suddenly feel a swell of pride, when I first met war he was completely useless around women, now he is a total lady killer. I wonder if this is what parents feel like when they see their children becoming successful.
