After walking for a while in this dense forest we started to see sunlight from the west. This confused us until the racoon girl pointed out the smoke rising into the sky. At this point anyone with half a brain could figure out that our pursuers had set the forest on fire to smoke us out. Those cunts!
We bolted in the opposite direction as fast as we could. The fire was spreading, and I had put the filio queen in the gate because she hadn't recovered from her dazed state and was just drooling while looking at my face.
It was at this point that we encountered a group of pursuers that were acquainted with shield boy. If his expression while gazing upon the red head in the group was anything to go by, he had quite the history with these people.
When Filo transformed into her filio form and everybody hopped on her back, with my shrunken form wrapped around Sophia's shoulders, a village idiot type of cunt with long blond hair put a chain on Filo's foot and forced her to transform into her human form. He took her into his arms, and you could see how much the chain drained her strength and how difficult it was for her to move at all.
This made me livid. I had already dealt with a fucking womanizer that projected love onto others and expected it to be reciprocated one way or another. I wasn't going to just watch as another is powerless to resist the fate I escaped.
"Free Filo and beat the shit out of him!", I shouted words of fiery passion I felt come from my very soul while pointing my finger at the mother fucker.
Sophia's eyes snap onto Filo trapped in the cunt's arms before she took off like a rocket with me still on her shoulders. She knows my history and about the reincarnated individual that tried to brainwash me, so she understood how important these orders were.
In the week after the last wave we both knew that the monsters would get stronger and more difficult to deal with, so we upped our training to increase our strength and endurance for the next wave. We got complacent because the first wave was taken care of so quickly, but that won't happen again.
Sophia's fist smashed into village idiot's face and sent him fucking flying! She grabbed the chain and ripped it in two, setting Filo free and throwing her back to her companions.
She jumped off once again to catch the idiot before he hits the ground. Grabbing him by his leg, she proceeds to smash him into the ground repeatedly before I give him a knuckle sandwich with my gauntlets in their base form to inflict pain and not kill him. I crack him once more in his right eye and send him flying right into the red headed bitch as she was talking about not being able to identify her sisters' body from the fire caused by the shield demon.
I can see shield boy smiling for the first time since I met him, which isn't that long ago.
My instincts light up again and I can sense an incoming attack from far away. Filo seems to notice as well and jumps to throw the group of cunts into shield boys protection. I can't understand why she would keep them alive, but I'm not going to question her now.
Shield boy does what he does best and sets up shields ranging from the clear shield from the fight with the dinosaur to a chain box shield that surrounds us. The beam attack lands with us dead center. When it clears, we are in a crater about one hundred meters in radius and fifteen meters deep.
Some pope comes out with his highest following ignoring the fact their strongest attack just failed and acting like there is no way their plan could possibly go wrong. I am so going to enjoy ruining whatever he has planned.
He starts talking about how the two other heroes were fakes because they couldn't get their head out of their ass and admit they were wrong. How once he finishes off the fake spear hero and shield demon, he will use the power of the relic of previous heroes to defeat the waves and reign supreme.
I look over at Sophia and see she is looking at the pope, the shield boy's group, and the village idiot's group like they are fucking retards for talking during a battle. I can't understand why the spear guy doesn't just throw his spear at the pope. Heck I'm pretty sure someone in this group must have a long-range attack like magic or throwing knives.
After his long-winded speech and neither shield boy nor the idiot wanting to work together a few more attacks are thrown from the pope, before two fuckups walk in like them being here helps at all.
They hide behind shield boy from some more attacks before I just get sick of their bullshit and teleport the relic the pope was using into my hands. I toss it into my gate because free stuff is free and just let Sophia shoot all the church people with paralyzing magic formed into arrows. I want to see what the queen does with them and know if she is just as stupid as the rest of the people in this kingdom.
I'm pretty sure that the most intelligent people I met in this world were all in the beast men kingdom.
"If you could do that then why didn't you do so when he showed up?", shield boy asks me.
"I forgot I could.", I bullshit to him.
"Are they dead?", bow fuckup asks Sophia while looking at the collapsed church people. Why he is worried about people that tried to kill him I'll never understand.
The queen shows up next to try and provide backup with her royal guards only to find all the church members dealt with. She looks so stupid just gawking at the pile of church cunts.
"How did you get here? Weren't you on the other side of the kingdom? We're all the way in the west and I heard that you were in a meeting taking place in a country to the east. If you had a way to travel so fast then why didn't you teach it to your daughter so that she can, I don't know, escape an assassination attempt on her life by her own fucking sister?", I yell at her just adding onto her shame for being late to an uprising in her own kingdom.
She coughs to clear the awkward silence that took place from me calling her out on her bullshit, before ordering her guards to apprehend the cult members along with her eldest daughter for later punishment. After her guards get to work on an almost completed job, she requests all the heroes follow her back to the castle so discussions can get under way.
