Chapter 462: Protecting a chair
My bonds returned with Amora and it didn't seem to be a smooth trip, they used magic to cleaned themselves up, but they looked exhausted. I got a call from Lee earlier, it seemed that he had managed to chase Fortuna away, she didn't want a confrontation with him at all.
She used her magic to slow him down and even tried causing random unfortunate events when he was fighting, like random flying shrapnel or fly to disturb him, but didn't work as he temporarily swallowed the shadows of the gods she brought and incapacitate them.
Louis has noticed some strange movements near the vault for the blood chair, it seems like he will need to head back to it and let a substitute lead his troops in Valhalla, delaying Chaos comes first for him.
He's calling for our help, he can fight gods on equal ground, but he can't say the same for some of his elites who only just experience fight with magic recently in Valhalla. We also got some reports that Chaos is becoming active again.
It would make sense, I'm getting better, same could be said for that bitch, it's still powerful with a weak vessel, if we didn't have any magicians or a seekers executive on the fields the whole time to reduce each spell damage, not stop, but reduce.
"How's the trip?"
"I lost about a 100 years of my lifespan." Damon replied
"You what?"
"It's not that much, I personally want to cut off my more than 1000 year of life to about 600 if it's possible." Damon shrugged "Being a celestial is hard."
"Yeah, did you guys already have lunch, you have any left over?" Amora asked
"Uh, yeah, we got some pizzas in the fridge, you can reheat it in the oven."

"How are you doing?" Lia asked as she rest her head on my shoulder.
Even though the gesture is cute, she's making hard for me to read my book and flip through the pages before I go to sleep. I have to catch up with the novels I missed from my past life now that I can get access to them again.
"I could be better, are you sure you 2 want me to sleep in the same bed again?"
"It's fine, just coughs here and there with a bit of a stuffy nose shouldn't be too much." Eliza reassured "Besides, it's weird for me to share a bed with another woman since I'm into men, you specifically."
"It was just a few days."
"She get's handsy in her sleep, so I need you in the middle to stop it."
"Well usually it's Perseus where I get handsy with." Lia shrugged "He really doesn't say anything about it."
"More like I too tired to."

I then got a visit from the 2 Steels the next day, Professor Emma is eating junk food in front of me, apparently since I'm not allowed to really really unhealthy foods and would be craving them, she's here to get me back for the the times I teased her.
"I heard that it's better to share it with someone else if I want to get better."
"Oh yeah, how's that going for you?" she replied "Want spicy chicken?"
"Lia! Can I kiss professor Emma?!"
"What?!"
"Yeah, you can spread it to her!" Lia replied "But be quick, don't give it to her too good, she'll fall for you like the rest of us did."
"He still finds a way to tease you, you will never win." professor Steel chuckled

After they settled in, I managed to convince everyone to do a bit of my job, which they made Dabria supervise. Louis was right, Chaos want that chair, Fortuna is tasked with looking for the blood, this time, I took Pegasus with me, just in case, since I got no help from my bonds.
He can also apparently fly quickly through space if things go wrong, no air resistance and he doesn't need to breathe.
"What's up with the horse?" Louis asked
"I know you weren't French in your past life, so what the hell is with the accent? I know you can study to not make it as thick."
"Girls prefer it this way." he replied
"They rather listen to a voice where he sometimes sounds like he's talking nonsense?" Pegasus asked
-You're seriously just trying to offend the French for fun, aren't you?- Dabria asked
-Ask the author, not me.-
| Hey, don't put this on me. |
"I get girls by talking nonsense all the time, they would put me on the spot by say 'Say something in French', I just utter meaningless words and they're already heads over heels for me." Louis said proudly "Similar story happened to a friend of the author."
| It was an Italian guy. |
"Like American Italian or Italy Italian?"
| Italy, he just spoke nonsense and the girls were fawning over him as he was laughing inside. |
I then went to the vault and inscribe a lot of runes nearby, I then do it too over this planet, the moment that anyone with mana would send me a message and alert me to come quickly.
I also implanted some runes to attract people with mana, their curiosity will cause them to inject mana into it causing an explosion nearby the vault, it would alert security and Louis would come.
Lee even came to arrange his arrays or whatever to do the same thing and sure enough, Chaos did arrive, we haven't evacuated everyone yet, Chaos seems to have known this as it sent some gods to attack those people, my bonds are intercepting them at the moment.
Louis is also helping the evacuation process as it's now up to me and Lee to face Chaos who are not completely cure of the flu.
"Lee, you ready?"
"Might as well, let's try to make this the final battle if possible, I don't like facing the enemy times and times again over the years." Lee replied "I got a life to lead."
