《The Gods Summons》Chapter 10 : The plan
Advertisement
Lusella :" We are going to replace the current baron, Tharan Hammerbon , by ours , Finil Seror ."
Komir : " When we said `replace`, we mean eliminate him. Not that I care about your moral but if it can make you feel better, he's not a saint, he do illegal slave trading , hiring the bandits to capture the merchant or travelers to turn them into slaves ."
Well , at least I'm not killing a innocent guy . Good for my karma I guess.
Ygreth : " Finil is a vampire that I personally turned , he will do everything we need him to do."
Mark : "What do you need the city for ?"
Lusella : " We used to be ten thousand follower of lord Hades. Due to the bet, we were decimated by the worshipper of Tyr, Mars and Thanatos . They made a coalition and hunted us all down , we fled here in hope to regain our strength and one day avenge our comrade . So the city will provide us money , weapon and a lot thing necessary to build an army ."
Wow , that bet cost them a lot . And they still doesn't blame it on Hades.
Ygreth : " You're our only hope to get revenge for our fallen comrade , we already reached our limit in term of powers . But you have unlimited potential ,above all you have the Soul Eater skill. Only the strongest gods of deaths have this power, they are only six . Lord Hades , Dis Pater , Thanatos , Pluto , Mania and You. Lord Hades being the strongest. "
Well that a lot of pressure on my shoulders, doesn't six mean death ? *gasp* They planned this!
Komir : " You will bring down Hammerbon and his crew . That's your job or training , you will do this alone. If I were you , I will start with the small fry . Like the bandits outside the city ."

Lusella : " I will personally supervise you and in case of absolute necessity , I will help you."
Take a entire city by myself , just how much faith they have on me ...
Lusella : " Let's go, now ."
Mark : " What !? We're in the middle of the night , at least let me rest a bit ."
Lusella : " This is the best moment to strike. Now follow me , I will tell you more detail about the plan on the way ."
Lusella dragged me once again out of the room.
On our way to the bandits hideout , Lusella told me in detail what I needed to do. To summarize it all , we start with the bandits who were dispatched into little group , after I reduced the number in the hideout , I will launch an attack on the hideout. Then we take care of Hammerbon army by putting the commander out of the way, it's only after all this, that I can send the dwarf to the underworld or not since I'm going to eat him.
Reaching the bandits hideout , we were perch on a tree observing the camp . They are at least two hundred man in it .
Mark : " Hum , aren't they going to spot us if we keep doing this ? "
In a magic world , I'm sure they have something like sensing presence .
Lusella : " Don't worry about it ."
She doesn't really give me a reason to not worry about it ...
Mark : " They are too much for me to handle this alone ..."
One versus two hundred plus , it's way too much.
Lusella : " Don't worry about it ."
....
Mark : " Care about giving me a explanation ? "
Lusella : " Didn't you listen when I explained the plan to you ? You will fight four to ten of them in the same time . And thanks to your ability , it will get more and more easy ."

We waited until a group of eight guy went out of the camp. We trailed them until they stopped and all of them spread waiting probably for their next victim, in front of them were a road where the carriage or people come from .
Lusella : " It's up to you now. And better kill all of them quickly before some people walk in."
I walked slowly and sneaky , I approached the one closest to me . He was taking a poop in a bush and was separate from the other. I covered his mouth with my hand , in the same time with my other hand I took his knife to quickly cut his throat and just to make sure he's dead, because you never know ,I stabbed him multiple time at his chest trying to aim at his heart .
After making sure that he was dead , I'm moving to my next victim.
*Crack*
Oh fuck.
The seven bandits turned their heads in my direction , they were shocked to see their comrade who died in his blood and crap.
Using this opportunity , I threw my knife at one of them . I was aiming at his head but it hit his stomach . They started to run at me with their knives in hand and their bows armed.
I guess it's time to use my new spell . Lightning Chain !
Lightning Chain
A lightning struck that can spread to five other target near to the initial target . Deal high burn damage and can immobilize muscle .
A chain of lightning hitting six of them in total , they were electrify and were unable to move for some time.
Using that time as much as possible , I punched with all my strength the one nearest to me and casted a fully charged lightning ball to blast a another one head .
Enable to move again , they rushed toward me but before they could get near me I casted Static Field to stun them again . They were only six of them left , perfect , I casted Lightning Chain again , they started to roast with that much lightning . Steam were coming from some of them and I could smell a odor of burn in the air.
Two of them were still not dead , and are slowly getting up. I walked near them , placed my hands on their heads I used another of my skill . Taser.
Taser
A highly condensed lightning . The more mana you put into it more the volt goes up.
Electrifying them , they trashed around in pain. Like the others before them , steam were coming from their skin . Now they're fully grilled .
Lusella : " Good job , but your furtive skill need to be improved ."
It was expected , not like anybody taught me some ninja skills.
Using my Soul Eater skill , I absorbed their soul and got 2 level . The souls gave me 19 STR , 17 AGI , 14 END , 18 DEX , 8 WIS and 8 INT.
Half of my mana was already gone and I seriously need to rest.
Lusella : " Let's go , we have two to three other group to hunt. "
Mark : " No , I'm tired , can't do it anymore. Half of my mana is gone . "
She throw at me a bottle and some pills.
Mark : " What are these ? "
Lusella : " The bottle contain coffee , blue pills are mana regeneration boost and red pills are health regeneration boost . Drink the coffee and take the pills ."
Oh my god , this is hell.

The Dragon & The Demon
Orenda Nochdifache-Firefist has sucessfully overthrown the Empress Xandra and broken the empire to allow the individual colonies to return to self-rule, as well as abolished the chattle slavery that had plagued the land- earning her the title of "Orenda the Reign Ender". The Knights of Order have officially won the war in a bloody revolution, putting an end to the three centuries of warfare under Xandra's leadership. No longer must people live in fear of Xandra's puppet, The Emerald Knight. But now Orenda must face the realities of her dream- the imaginary princess has become queen. And, she has a deadly secret she must keep in the form of a teenage Urillian boy who is not what he seems. Anilla is still on a never ending quest to find her dragon; her people beleive that every memeber of their tribe is born with a soul bonded dragon that exists somewhere in the world- and Orenda's little secret claims to have seen Anilla's soul before. Could he be the key to ending her quest? This work is a direct sequel to The Crimson Mage, and will obviously contain major spoilers for that work, so it might be a better place to start (though I will warn you that the first chapter of that story may be the worst thing I've ever written. Just power through it or encorage me to put up a second draft). It can be found here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21654/the-crimson-mage/chapter/307763/chapter-1
