A useless discussion

In the mean time, allow me to show you how he defeated so many bravers, though this time he is the one striking first.

As their group silently appeared in the horizon Aki, lunged at a badass-looking knight telling him to halt. Their strength wasn't that different, but Aki was the one who had magic here, so when he focused on causing a knockback the effect was that the man was sent flying several hundred meters back. That wouldn't be so easy if they weren't in plain ground without obstacles in sight though.

That being so he teleported to a princess like girl that was scared but gripping a dagger by her side. Instead of fatally injuring her, he imprisoned her in a Ice cocoon.

The knight from before was already screaming a name that definitely belonged to a girl while rushing over even faster than before. Fury and despair could be heard in his voice.

One of Aki's daggers was in trajectory with his sword attack, but it was cut like butter by a hot knife. At the same time he punctured his other dagger on the knight's chest like his armor wasn't there.

No need to say that Aki was in total advantage here. After all, if his body is so aligned with magic, he obviously is able to cast spells inside his body much more easily than outside.

That is to say he can easily teleport a piece of his body away any moment he wants and anything inside as well. Sword and all. He just needs to activate a located teleport of a part of himself using the Grimoire skill and voila, now his enemy has an exploding dagger in his ribcage and he lost an arm.

Teleporting back to Guilda, who has a beacon to facilitate teleport, and she gave him his arm back while he remotely exploded the dagger.

Healing his arm back in place didn't take long and he spent it by sending lots of spells against his enemies. Mostly for show really, he could just shoot water needles with delayed freezing effect in their skin and blood.

Curses and hexes would work even better.

Why are they killing random strangers you ask? Why wouldn't they?

K, I was kidding, that girl is part of the hero of magic's party. A sage, someone with the potential to be a mana born. Her magic potential is like that of a mage from the Hero's party after you turn the cheat code on an get infinit mana

The hero of magic is one rank above that.

-Ok, we've been defeating all those possible helpers and finally found a sage, now what? Asked Guilda after killing the last man.

-We go to the mountains and look for a doppelganger, wendigo or Vampire. Don't ask about it. He said and started looting the books not destroyed in the fight.

It took another day to get to the mountains, and believe or not, it was full of vampires.  

""-Eh, really?"" Said the shivering twins. They had cold resistance and specialy made clothes, with their levels a mountainus environment would not really cause them any problems.

It's just that they were actually captured by vampires, and with that I mean they were their toys. That was when they were still children by the way, they been slaves since they were 3. Please remember beast people develop and mature earlier than humans.   

By then these two, they are nineteen right now, saw all types of gore, murder and cruelty. They weren't turned into mindless slaves because the Vampire Lord in question was old enough to have started to get bored of doing the same things all the time, so he left the harmless prey he captured with their normal faculties so he could be amused by them.

Unfortunately the ones that killed the vampire were after his treasures, not saving the kidnapped people. These two were the only that survived the training from the chamber of commerce. From three odd hundred.

That training wasn't that harsh that I'd kill that many, it's just that if they could not complete it they would be sold like normal slaves, whose lifespan is very, very short.

To convince them to come too Aki just had to say, "the stronger these vampires are, the more they will be affected by my counter measure". Which is most definitely true.

And so they marched to a seamlessly empty mountain chain. The elementals were so rampant there that Aki could just create an ice bridge in a straight line while supporting itself on the mountains with arcs.

He never studied about bridge construction, but he did watch lefty of videos about Gothic architecture, so that was the first design he thought about. Well, the first working one, Elsa's was a short bridge after all.

While they wait for the welcoming of the concealed vampire castle, allow me to show you the results of their trip till now.

-This, I've never seen someone capable of doing something like this, not even the worst nightmares from space have ever been able to be so precise and calculative.

Right now, that is a few days earlier, the goddess of kindness was looking at one of the hurt souls she managed to save from Aki's attacks.

To say this is a good looking young man would be a huge understatement. Yes, that's right, the first guy she managed to save was the one killed by his own high densified light attribute. More like just caused the guy to overheal himself and his body got something similar to cancer, but much more fast.

He was in a comatose state where his remaining ego is minuscule compared to his original self, and that was because he was attacked both from the psicological shock of his sudden death and Aki's combo of Life drain, soul break and Intimidate.

That is to say that even if this guy, who was supposed to be one of the hero of kindness's followers latter on, got resurrected, he would be a mere puppet without mind. His souls wouldn't recover in decades, maybe even centuries.

Obviously the goddess was grossed out by the idea of something like this being possible, but she mostly pitied these brave man and woman who had suffered such fate.

She immediately entered the pantheon, where the other gods already started their discussion.

-Do we have a full view of the damage this… Thing has done? Asked a calculation man with black hair and sharp eyes. This was the God of War. You may imagine his clothes however you like.

-One follower of Ameng, two of Natelas and two of yours. The rest were supposed to be supporters, but those count almost in the hundreds. Considering his direction and speed, he should get to the republic in two more days in this ritm. His objective should be to firm a tower for the demons and kill the hero of diligence. (the guy Aki calls hero of magic.) Said the old man in lose robes. That's the god of magic, but at least he doesn't have a pointy hat.

-Why do you not intervene in the country you founded yourself again? Mylord. Asked the chief reaper Marine, temporary God of death and humility. Thic. That's the description of her thighs, but she also has raven black hair and small shapely breasts.

-Because I've relinquished all the rights I had over it but that of a counselor, just like Jordvar and his free states. With a vow.

Answered the God of… Misdaqui. A vow made by a God is something that actually bounds them, you know? It's a rule of the world to stop those that are too powerful, including gods.

Since it will be a pain to simply call them by title, allow me to show ya'll the list of names and authorities that meter.

Ameng - Kindness and love

Natelas - Moon and patience

Jordvar - Justice and chastity

Misdaqui - Magic and diligence

Zashar - War and temperance

Hedni - Sun and charity

Chief reaper Marine - Death and humility

Everyone was silent for a moment. It wasn't the first time someone used the republic and the free states to scape their authority, but certainly the first that those places were used against the gods.

-I suppose our best bet is to send our best troupes them. Suggested Natelas. She had white hair, red eyes, pristine white skin, an ethereal aura and beautiful robes.

-No offense, but I don't think they will get there in time to do anything. One of the main responsibilities of the president is to stop other forces of a certain level and above from interfering while inside national territory. Again, they are bound by vow. Misdaqui explained while massaging his temples.

-I don't get it, why wouldn't they be able to do anything? Asked Hedni while scratching his red beard. He is also not using a shirt by the way, so his Kratos like phisic is showing all over and somehow his curly hair is fluttering over a non existent breeze.

-Because this Damn brat is carrying an instant teleporter of great range and his whole party is registered over all the continent's teleporters as VIP guests. Apparently, Miss Udjavar isn't just an amazing business woman and space magician, she is also the alter ego of "that" person. The wizard threw a newspaper in the table the gods sat around. The main page was wholy reserved for the interview with one of the richests mages, where she finally took off her mask.

A scowl appeared on all gods' faces.

-This, how are we supposed to do anything here? Asked the newbie goddess of death.

-We court martialize him and get him exiled, them, we use our best man and woman. Said the monk. That's the God of justice by the way. He even has those nine dogs on his forehead. Fun fact, he is the only virgin here. *atchum*. And consequently the only one that always sneezes.

-What's our case then?

-We still don't…

-Hold on! One of my sages has been attacked. What speed! It's them! No one else has the guts and power to attack a sage! They are all masked and wearing black, but the other sins we have reports about are still in the monitored area. Misdaqui told the other about the most recent development.

-We can't make cases on deduction alone. How did he fight? Interrupted the greatest sage before sneezing again.

-He only used wind and ice magic, but that level of comprehension is almost the same shown by the brat! I don't know what happened next since I only had the vision from the sage, but I am sure that we can manage if Marine looks into her records. Explained the man after calming down.

-Certainly, give me one… Eh? There's nothing there. She and while shocked.

-It's him, he can break souls. Now we have… The man was delighted, but that soon ended and he frowned again. - You mean they all turned into undead and you can't check their souls, right? Guessed the God of magic, to which he received a nod.

-Unless we recover their souls we won't get the record them. And that is if they still retain their memory. Can you detect them? Asked Zasha, who had been silent until now.

-I can. They are… at the castle of the undead king. Again, the gods' faces darkened. If you want to know, that castle is in another continent, one a smaller than this one and full of rejected species.

Silence reigned over for a few seconds, than everyone decided to petition for more information on Aki before he came.

While awaiting for the papers, the gods called their champions, including Shinji, over so they could discuss how to take him down.

When they got the feedback with the documents the God of magic, who was acting as this reunion's chairman, started reading out loud.

-Name: Aquiles…

Yup. It's exactly what you thought. This fucker even changed his name when coming here. Though that's mostly because his whole family had a strange naming sense he never liked, so the system changed it into how his father called him, who actually lives in Japan after marrying a half japanese woman.

Everyone had a file with his initial status as well, so the champions were confused and the gods had expressions that varied from pissed to seriousness.

It's like that talking hat on Hogwards, you can change the result, but you need to wish really hard for that. Reason why he doesn't have a tail and horns, but anyway, that already means he doesn't have an attachment to his own name, what can they even use against him?

-Oi, this thing is almost useless! His only hobbies was writing and reading, he started exercising recently, no long term friends, the only thing this says about him is that he was a stressed teenager that was propence to suicide. Even his novel is shit!

As the only god in here who had been a human, Misdaqui was the first to finish reading over and commented right after.

-Misdaqui-sama, shouldn't mental attacks be his weakness them? Asked his own hero, a black haired guy with a baby face that failed to look serious.

-If only it was that easy child. One of my chosen supporters was a master of the mind, and while his companions were stunned while receiving damage, he charged head on while taking the brunt of it. Now that child is dead and only a husk of his former self remains. Explained Natelas with a pained look.

-What about his family? Asked the hero of temperance, his suggestion obvious to all. Some wanted retort, but Zasha explained the situation before that.

-I've suggested the same thing child, but the demons' forces are more numerous in your world than ours and they have alredy predicted such movement.

After that a back and forth commenced, but the best they got out of it was that Aki was unbeatable unless they throw a team of people specifically mend together to tackle everyone of his attacks down.

And that would be in a direct fight, they'd still need to figure out a way for him not to assassinate a part of said team while they are away from the rest or simply run away.

Trying to overwhelm him with numbers would be stupid though, as he has the magical abilities of a lich king and the dexterity of a trained assassin at this point.

That means he can make trops out of the dead, do life and mana steal besides being hard to hit.

Some parts may sound like boasting of my part, but it's actually the measure of Aki’s ability. If he was to kill a king, he'd be able to, but definitely not on the way a normal mage or assasin would.
