Prelude To An Invasion II

"...."

"...."

"...."

"...You want to die that bad, don't you, old fuck?" Mimi cracked her knuckles as she prepared to grill the little pixies and chew him up as a midday snack.

"Of course not, of course not, a good tourist must take the lead first when they guide people isn't it? So when are we going in?" The little pixie hurriedly waved it's hands and proactively moved closer to the portal-like pool.

Both Mimi and Noelle were once again caught off guard by this guy's shamelessness. They couldn't help but stare at it blankly. It was small, but quite big in being shameless.

"...."

"...."

RoooOooaaaAaaRrrrr

But suddenly, a loud Roar shook the trees and made the earth tremble. The duo could not be any more familiar with the roar, and exchanged looks of bitterness and fear.

"...What about now?" Mimi asked Noelle as she looked back, peering at space itself to spy on the large approaching wyvern. Despite being a wyvern, this thing could swallow dragons in one gulp.

'Bastard finally revealed his true form!!!' Mimi thought with pure resentment and a hint of fear within. Indeed, she was quite fearful of something that was not Athena or Louise.

Mid way through the fight, the wyvern god had revealed his true form. A total behemoth of not just hundreds of meters long, but more than a couple of miles long even.

"Yeah." Noelle affirmed and didn't hesitate to jump into the portal-like pool. Causing a splash as she sunk in. She was brave for that action alone.

Splash~

"...."

Mimi didn't say anything and swatted the pixie into the portal-like pool, then jumped in as well. Her descent caused a sound that resembled a mirror being shattered while the pixie's descent sounded as if an arrow piecing through the wind.

Crack~ Ping!!

Woosh~

It was unknown whether the larger the mass, the stronger the repulsion of the portal-like pool or not. But they had no time to tell or study it any further. Because...

Booom!!!

A black blur flashed past the sky at light speed and heavily crashed onto the ground like some sort of meteor, resulting in a large cloud of dust forming around it.

"Hmm~" An aged voice, one of a middle-aged man, hummed light as an otherworldly pressure pushed away at the sorounding cloud of dust. Revealing a large man, three meters in height and bare chest standing there.

He had short, wild black hair, a perfectly chiseled face with a perfect jawline. Stern, half closed black pupils and sword like brows. His figure was tall but not large. His muscles were bulging out and his chest definitely wasn't broad.

He scanned the sorounding area then stopped his gaze at the portal-like pool. His eyes glowed in a profound glint, nobody knowing what was running through his mind.

"Chasing after them even now, old man?" An idle voice descended from the sky as a young man, in his early twenties landed besides the giant man. His height around two meters.

Like the middle-aged man, he had short, wild black hair, a slim figure, with no muscles or signs of a try-hard. His eyes were drooping over and also had eyebags below them.

He casually asked the middle-aged man as he lazily looked at the portal to another realm. This game had been fun and all, but it wasn't his fort, you see. He was already fed up.

He preferred to sit around and sleep, which was why he died during the fight against Mimi a year ago. And he didn't blame, nor hold grudges against her at all.

"No." The middle-aged man looked away from the portal and instead walked in a different direction. While walking, he opened his mouth without turning back.

"They might have reinforcements down there, the chances of us dying are high. There really isn't that much hatred between us anyway, at least not to the point of me throwing my life to kill them.

"But... that doesn't mean I'm going to idle around. I've devoured enough deities and think I'm ready to advance. Three years at most, I can try to ascend this place in three years.

By then, all those guys up there, will finally know the word 'humility'. The name of the Wyvern god, might nor just be an illusion anymore, as it will spread out throughout the realms." He finally declared as a golden spark flashed through his eyes for a brief moment.

"Still on with that... I see. Suit yourself then, I should also increase my strength if I'd like to live a bit longer when fighting that lass. I should finally ascend to become a Half Deity, as for being a Saint, let's skip that." The young man scratched his neck as he followed after the middle-aged man.

Indeed, this pair was the wyvern king that Mimi had killed before, as well as his ancestor, the wyvern god. The reason he was alive was because the wyvern god had revived him, at the cost of permanently losing divine power.

This just showed that there was another reason why the wyvern god was bent on hunting down Mimi either than the death of his descendants. One that even she was currently unaware of at the moment.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the portal...

"...I knew it was a trap." Noelle said as she sighed and looked up at the red sky, covered In black clouds, her expression one of resignation. She had resigned to her fate.

"Yup, looks like it." Mimi casually agreed with her.

"I agree." The little old pixie also agreed as it flew next to them, it's expression mimicking that of Noelle. It clearly didn't know how much she wanted to kill it right now.

Both of them, couldn't help but turn speechless after hearing it's words. By now, they should have gained resistance to the pixie's shamelessness, but it seemed not.

"...."

"...."

Noelle ignored the old pixie and instead held her blade tighter. Though she was beat up and her mana was below 50%, she believed she could deal with the mobs infront of her.

"Mimi..." She held the blade with both hands, one leg slightly before the other, in a battle ready stance. She lightly called out to her new friend, well, more of a childish mentor. Her eyes filled up with killing intent.

"Yeah. Do as you see fit." Mimi casually waved her hands at her. She then looked up, her expressing calm, but her eyes brimming with excitement.

"If you say so." Without holding back, Noelle kicked the ground using all her gathered force. The momentum alone was enough to rival a couple of charging adult bulls that were angry, let alone her speed.

Her figure turned into a blur as she crossed the hundred meter distance before her and the little critters infront with a single step. The hundreds of caterpillar-like demonic beasts couldn't even tell how they died.

Even an ordinary great master could wipe the floor with them, let alone her, who had the speed of a grand master. She didn't even have to enhance her blade with mana to cut through them with her strength.

But what surprised her was that, even without using mana, her mana was still increasing. And not just refilling itself, but the maximum output itself was enlarging with every kill. As if... she was devouring the mana of her targets.

"...."

After killing every one of them, she couldn't help but look down on the pure black blade in her hand. Her love for it increasing and increasing by the moment. Due to excitement, she couldn't help but ask Mimi out of curiosity.

"Hey Mimi, what did you call this weapon again?"

"Acnologia." Mimi casually replied while intently looking up. Her smile getting wider and wider, 'It's almost a year and I lack even ten believers. It's about time I go on a rampage as well, plus, this place is hell. A perfect paradise for my kind.'

"Acnologia huh? I like him... By the way, what are you looking at up there?" She sheathed the blade and walked closer towards the young goddess. But the attitude they had towards each other was not that of god and believer.

"A jackpot." Mimi said as she lightly kicked the ground, propelling herself kilometers into the sky within an instant. Her speed more than five thousand times that of Noelle's.

"Waow~" Noelle couldn't help but admire such strength, she dreamed of having this strength later in the future. To better protect her sisters... as well as the new village Lord Enigma was making.

By now, Noelle 100% believed that Mimi was a goddess. By the time she stopped limiting herself, she burst forth with might that was even greater than that of her sister's at her peak.

But unfortunately, she still could not look at the small Mimi the same way she saw Enigma. To her, Mimi looked nothing less of a little sister-friend or something like that.

Boooom!!!
