Chapter 46

As I came out of the Guild, I saw Ais leaning against the wall of the Guild just blankly staring off into the crowd of people walking in and out of the Guild with our eyes meeting as I exited the building.

"You, done with the Guild?" She asked tilting her head to the side in curiosity and I nodded in response. "Ok. Let's go." She simply spoke as she bounced off the wall of the guild and we both began walking towards the western wall of Orario which was in the direction of my tower anyway.

But with night having firmly fallen over Orario I could tell Ais was especially tense.

"Ais, do you sense people or something? You are acting weird." I asked feeling like I should just say screw this and teleport back home to the safety of my bed. Hell, I could literally just teleport Ais home with me and we could just spar there in the wide-open area in the sides between the shop and the tower wall.

"Hmm." She grunted being completely unhelpful as she slowly unsheathed her sword, and I realized something. The previously crowded Orario street was completely empty. Which isn't supposed to happen on the main streets at all on the main streets. That's why they are considered to be safe zones nowadays.

With a flash, my helmet popped back onto my head as I had only been wearing my chest plate and leggings and then I was armed with my two Space Guns I looked down the alley directly to the side of us as the sounds of someone loudly whistling reached us.

Then from around the corner came a woman I could only call a fucking tweaker... She had electrified-looking spiky salmon-pink hair and yellow eyes that only exemplified the insane grin she was wearing.

"Valletta Grede... You were supposed to have died during the Nightmare all those years ago." Ais spoke as she leveled the sword in front of her.

But not only was there a person that Ais obviously respected as an opponent but on the roofs of all the nearby buildings were people wearing white robes that covered all their features except for their hands and leaving a slit so they could see.

"Jake those are Evilus members. They are enemies of Orario so don't worry about killing them... And they are all almost all super weak." Ais added on dully making the salmon-haired psychopath walking us scowl and lose her insane smile.

"Hey, you blond little bitch. Only I get to call my dregs, wastes of space that should have run down their mothers' legs Haha!" She cackled before her laughter abruptly died and she looked away from Ais with zero care and looked at me.

"Go ahead little Jakie... Teleport home we have set up bombs everywhere in the nearby homes, so everyone is going to go Boom!" She yelled out and just to prove it she snapped her fingers and a building down the road violently exploded sending shrapnel and wooden beams everywhere and I could faintly hear screams in the distance.

Before the bitch could say anything else or even make demands of me, my hands snapped up with the Space Guns aiming at her and they glowed red as they began shooting a cascade of red laser bolts that the level five had to dodge screaming as one of them pierced through her arm as she wasn't a boss monster with dozens of meters thick flesh.

She was a puny human and even with a Falna, a high-powered magical laser bolt on bare flesh would face little to no resistance.

"I have her. She is a level five. You deal with the trash." Ais said as she spun around me and cut dozens of almost invisible metal wires that were about to encircle me.

"Ais Wallenstein! You Loki fucks have always pissed me off so much! I am going to enjoy scalping your pretty blond hair off and using it as a wig!" She screeched as she swung a horrific-looking sword at Ais that glowed with malefic purple light.

I took Ais's advice and left the insane level five to her as their high-speed sword duel stretched on with dozens of blows seemingly ringing out every moment as I reaped the lives of all the evilus members who most certainly couldn't dodge my space guns laser bolts.

Each laser bolt punched a fist-sized cauterized hole in the chest or stomach of each Evilus member that dashed at me with nets, weighted ropes, or any number of capture devices.

"Jake, we have hundreds of members here! Come on let out a monster rex to save you Haha!" That pink-haired girl cackled as with a grunt she managed to throw Ais backwards in an overextending blow.

But the obviously cursed sword kept Ais from trying to capitalize on the overextension with a snarl I just grabbed the face of a Evilus member who jumped on my back and his screams as my Meteoric armor burned his body filled me with a dull satisfaction as this was getting ridiculous.

It was obvious that they were trying to capture me as not a single member had attacked with weapons more deadly than a simple Billy club equivalent.

The only reason I hadn't just teleported back home was I did have some worry about those Evilus bombs in the neighborhood as that would weigh on my consciousness. As I knew damned well that, that woman would without a doubt blow up all those bombs just to spite me.

"Get fucked you salmon-haired cunt. I bet you smell worse than your fish-colored hair would point to." I snarled and her insane smile deepened as she began chanting a few lines as I went back to killing the dregs.

"Shaldora!" She finally yelled at the end of her chant, and I staggered as I felt my falna literally all but shut off as I lost all my physical attributes. "Yeah, Jake how's that feel!? I cut off your Falna with that spell of mine Haha! Now surrender or we will break you in painfully rather than nicely."

Before I could freak out Ais spoke again as she stood up from the collapsed building she was thrown into. "She can only remove a single level of stats. With you being level one, it feels like you lost your Falna but you haven't." Ais explained for a moment I frowned at the thought before I shook my head, and I threw the Teardrop Cleaver at her feet.

"Use that... I will be fine." I said as I sighed and, in a flash, I switched out of my Meteor armor and switched into Platinum armor that almost shined with its polished metal and then I pulled out the massive Blade of Grass.

"If any of you value your lives run away," I said dully to the group of white-cloaked people that advanced on me and I couldn't help but sighing as I swung the sword in front of me and then with it being a magical sword the large green sword sent a wave of green thorns that stabbed into the people who screamed literally turning purple as the poison within the magical bolt quickly began melting their very flesh from their bones as I hefted the literally largest sword in Terraria and swung it again in a wave sending another wave of green thorns that slaughtered the Evilus members.

"I am not some little mage you can bully!" I yelled as I cut through a net someone threw at me from atop one of the nearby building roofs but in response for whatever reason the person who threw the net at me seemingly committed suicide by jumping off the building and landing directly on his neck.

The sight actually made me pause and snarl as the Evilus members to advantage of my distraction to jump me but with my maxed-out armor rating I literally just popped a couple of grenades as they dog-piled me and in a couple of seconds, I felt a flash of heat wash over me as my armor rating protected me from the sound and effects of the grenades going off almost next to me.

"Halt in the name of the Freya Familia!" I heard a woman yell and then Valletta snarled as she clapped her hands three times in succession and a titanic explosion took over my senses as she wasn't lying. Literally, every single house on the street was on, and seemingly there were even bombs buried under the main road itself that announced its fury to the world creating pillars of flames as the magical bombs blew up.

"Watch yourself Jake I got your number Haha!" She cackled before screaming as her right arm literally disappeared off her body and a sword stabbed into the ground behind her.

"You talk too much." A deep voice rang out and I felt the King's presence before he even stepped out of the alleyway at a sedate pace uncaring of the flames that danced across the collapsed buildings nearby and licked his body as he strode toward the woman. "Valletta Grede, you are a hunter of the weak and delights in the suffering of others merely for personal joy... You are weak, so die in the name of Lady Freya." Ottar spoke but then swiped his other hooked sword through the air as an exploding arrow filled with obviously toxic gases exploded when struck filling the air with purple fumes.

But with the exploding arrow distracting Ottar, that woman managed to jump into an open sewer or something that her bombs opened to the air.

"Jake teleported home and took an antidote. This is condensed purple moth dust. Nothing lethal for us but it can mess with your lungs as you don't have the abnormal resistance skill... Actually, take Heath Velvet with you. Freya won't want you to get sick." Ottar said as he pushed the red-haired girl that was right behind her against me as I took out my magic mirror in agreement in heading home as honestly my lungs honestly were starting to hurt even with my Falna coming back online from whatever bullshit spell Valletta used.

"Ottar wait I-" Heath began but the Boaz turned his hard eyes on her and feeling her quiver beside me I just rolled my eyes and took a deep breath to teleport back home but coughed at the act. My lungs were now beginning to legitimately begin to burn under the poison's effects, so I quickly teleported home not giving a damn about the red-haired woman in some kind of nurse fetish outfit that I took with me.
