《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.

A Universe of Bloody Evolution
The Void was never meant to be opened to the Multiverse. The horrors waiting inside it should have never seen the light. And yet, the biggest mistake in the history of creation led to the impossible. In an event later known as the Outbreak, gates appeared in the first Universe, and with them, the Void was free. For ages the Void destroyed universe after universe, spreading its power in every direction, leaving only death and pain behind. But before every Universe met its end, it still had a chance. A small part of the population that survived the initial Outbreak and was granted a mysterious System to help them fight against the dangers that came from the Void. They were the Multiverse's last hope even if they couldn't stop the collapse of their own world. And so the cycle continued until the 36th Outbreak came. Leo Hale, a young reporter from Wolford, was one of the lucky ones to survive when the majority of Earth's population turned into monsters straight out of nightmares. Thrust into a constant battle for his life, Leo was determined to push forward and find his remaining family. Even if it meant sacrificing what was left of his humanity. After all, you either adapt or die. Story of progression and evolution with my take at the post-apocalyptic genre. Unlike most monster evolution stories where the monster rushes to gain human form, here I plan to do something quite the opposite. After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill you, being human can be hard. Warnings are here to give me the freedom to write whatever is necessary. This is my first original novel. Also English isn't my native language so any feedback is welcome. Remember that even if initially this story takes place on Earth, fictional places, streets, etc will appear. Release Schedule: Monday - Wednesday - Friday Average chapter length: 2000-2500 words (There might be exceptions as is the case with some of the first chapters - most of them are longer.)

The Triumvirate has known peace for 10,000 years. Their technology dwarfs that of Man, and for almost a century now Humanity has done everything they have asked of us, in order to learn even a fraction of their secrets. With their help, we have abolished poverty, and hunger. War is now a thing of the past. We have made incredible strides in a very short time period...and yet the Triumvirate races keep us at arm's length. They see us as half-evolved apes, too violent even now to keep company with our betters. They call us...Barbarians. But sometimes, a Barbarian is exactly what you need. (This incredible piece of artwork was a commission by Harry Rowland (@rowl_art_)...and I couldn't be more amazed at the job he's done. If you're looking for something like this, give him a yell.)
