Chapter 17 Return

'Well, it's about time I made my way back to Remnant. I have finished what I needed to do here. I became stronger, got a cool sword that becomes a living armor and got another sword made from that infant dragon's claw'

'I wonder how things are over there. Hopefully they made some good progress to the plans I gave them'

Mordred walked out of her inn room and locked it with a key. She made her way downstairs to the reception where the owner was sitting. She gave him the key and signed out of the inn. Once she left, she made her way towards the guild.

'I should let Rose know that I will be leaving Orario for a while'

After a few minutes of walking, she arrived at the large plaza that surrounds the tower of babel. There were cracks and craters littered everywhere. A sign that there was a large-scale battle that took place. When she looked at the guild entrance it was obvious that the guild was untouched.

Mordred entered and saw a few large adventurer parties. She gave them a brief look, observing their equipment while she walked over to Rose's counter.

"Mordred? You're here rather early" Rose said once she saw Mordred.

"That's because I have something to tell you"

Rose tilted her head a bit.

"And what that?"

"I will be leaving Orario for a bit, probably a few months. I have somethings to do"

"You're leaving?"

"Yep, I decided to tell you because you're my advisor and I don't want you thinking that I died in the dungeon"

Rose tucked her wolf ears down as she listened to Mordred. She controlled the expression on her face but her wolf ears gave away how she was feeling.

'I want to touch those ears!'

"I see, I pray that you have a pleasant journey. Stay safe Mordred"

"You too Rose. Make sure not to forget about me!" After giving her goodbyes, she left the guild and walked over to city's west gate.

As she walked, she felt that constant stare again. She was a bit happy to leave Orario so that she doesn't have to feel that stare again, at least for a while. Mordred walked through the gate and kept walking for a good distance until there was nobody nearby that would notice her, of course except for the one staring at her.

She activated mana burst so that she could put some distance away from the city so that she could teleport back to Remnant without that gaze seeing her. As she ran her senses began picking up multiple people following her. She turned her head back and her keen eyesight saw four armored midgets, a crazy angry cat dude with a scary smile and a terrifyingly large boar man with an expressionless face.

'FUCK!!'

'Freya sent her simps after me!'

Mordred unsheathed incursio as she ran and manifested the armor so that it would enhance her speed. With the armor on she pushed mana burst so she could get as much speed as possible. With her constant use of mana burst at its max output she could manage, she didn't notice the faint red lines that began to spread throughout the armor.

'Those guys are all high levels, I don't know if my current speed is enough. AHHH! I don't want them to know about my teleportation! Fuck it!'

'Ava start the world travel!'

[Affirmative]

[Warning: World Travel initiating]

Mordred looked back just to see the angry cat dude was right on her tail.

"SHIT!"

The cat dude was about to attack her legs with a spear until a blinding light took Mordred and she disappeared.

...

...

-Remnant, a forest near vale-

"BLUEEEEGHH!"

[Report: It would appear that your body is slow to adapting to World Travel]

"I can tell! BLUEEEGH!"

A few minutes later Mordred recovered and got up. 

"Are we back in Remnant?"

[Affirmative, we are in a forest located two miles from Vale]

"Good, I thought I was a goner. That spear was dangerously close to stabbing me"

Mordred returned incursio back to its sealed form as a sword. Luckily incursio had removed her helmet right when she threw up or else things would have been messy. 

She pulled out her scroll that had a map function and walked her way to back to Vale. She was in no hurry especially after almost getting kidnapped by the simps of a crazy goddess. After a while she made it to Vale and got a taxi to take her to her home.

She entered her home and threw herself on her bed.

"Ahhh... this bed is much better than the one at the inn..."

She was about to fall asleep from the comfort the bed provided but stopped herself.

'I should probably let the others know I'm back in town'

She grabbed her scroll and did a few quick and short texts to a few people. Her scroll began lighting up with constant buzzing. She was tempted to just turn off the scroll and sleep, but she read the texts.

"I guess I have work to do"

~RING~RING~RING~

Mordred answered the call of her most loyal follower, Slate.

"BOSS! You're back!"

"Indeed, I am" She answered with a dull tone.

"A lot happened while you were gone. We-"

"Stop. Just write it in a report and give it to me when I arrive at the office"

"Of course, Boss!"

She ended the call and stuffed her face in the pillow. Then she got up took a quick shower and put on some more presentable clothes. She hopped in her car and drove to the factory where her office is.

As she pulled up, she noticed an expansion to the side of the factory being constructed. Outside the building was Slate and an attractive woman with long purple hair and an impressive chest.

Mordred got out of the car and walked up to them. Both of them began talking to her, and giving reports about small matters as Mordred made her way to the office.

...

...

-Orario-

High up on the top floor of the tower of babel, a beautiful silver haired goddess sat on an expensive chair. Staring down on the city as she drank her wine. This was Freya, the goddess with the strongest familia in Orario.

"I see you returned empty handed" She spoke without turning her head to the six individuals kneeling behind her.

"She disappeared in a flash of bright light. We found no traces of her in the surrounding area" Ottar spoke in a calm way.

"Disappeared?"

"Yes, one moment she was there and the next she was gone without a trace"

Freya took another sip of her wine.

"Hmm... Teleportation maybe?" She muttered under her breath.

"Hehe, she's becoming even more interesting" Freya got up and looked at her kneeling children. 

"End all pursuit of her, she will no doubt return to Orario in time. When she does, none of you are to approach her, understand"

""Yes"" 

Freya walked up to the window and placed her hand on it.

'Make sure to return back to me... Odr...'

...

...

"Achoo!"

"Boss, are you sick?"

"I'm fine just get back to work"
