Chapter 17 - Planning For The Future

"How?!" Yells Meroin stunned

"I dont really know, I was born knowing" I say casually while grabbing my sword 

"See my sword? look at the letters here, they read Those Who Fear Shall Not Defeat Me" I say showing her Horror Bringer

She looks even more surprised.

"A God? You must be A God, Im dead? did I die, and im now in heaven?" Says Meroin shocked

Griviela laughs

"If heaven and hell existed you wouldnt need to worry about going to heaven" Says Griviela laughing loud

Meroin starts to laugh

"True enough, but this is incredible Queen with this I can be useful to you even faster" Says Meroin with a twisted smile

"Good to know, but for your kind of research would do us better if we find some kind of place to be our base, Meroin dont need to go around walking with us, Does someone happen to know a place?" I ask them

"I heard some rumors before I knew you, Queen" Says Faori thoughtful

"Go on" I say

"Word says that there is a group of necromancers called Meliokis Childs, In a place east of Avantenzel, I dont know if it is true though" Says Faori

"Well, lets try then, it is good that is close to Avantenzel, we need to get back here in two weeks to get our equipment" I say casually

Soon Meroin got all the things she needed and now we are walking towards Nekarin Inn.

We enter and I see Nekarin after we enter the room she tensed up.

"Hey Nekarin we are going for a while, come here" I say

I ask her to get closer.

"You helped us, so as I always do, I will grant you one simple wish, say there is something you want?" I ask Nekarin with a curious tone

Nekarin seems surprised and hesitates, but starts to think carefully.

"If I ever get in trouble with something dangerous I would wish you to come to rescue me if you happen to find out, I dont really have something to ask right now" Says Nekarin casually

"Then that shall be, If I happen to know that you are in trouble I will rescue you, If you come at me with trouble I will rescue you too" I say making my way out of the Inn

She thanks me with a bow, and I pay for the room and services too.

We got out of the city and are now on the previous battlefield.

"Shesh this place is stinking horribly" Says Meroin putting her hand on her nose

On the horizon, I see a carriage, looks like Eurazania and her brother Aflara made it to Avantenzel safely.

They come closer and I greet them.

"Wh-at just happened here?" asked Eurazania in shock

"Well, they put on quite the army to prevent us from entering the city, as you can see, didnt work for them hehe" I say with a grim smile

Aflara shivers.

"But dont worry you two, the king is a little beat but the city is ok, you can go on" I say casually

We bid each other goodbye and they entered the city.

"Then, Meroin this will probably hurt, My best advice is to try bracing yourself the maximum you can" I say to Meroin

She puts on a puzzled expression.

"You will understand soon, just brace yourself" Says Faori casually

Everyone gathers around me.

Red thunder starts to appear around my body and I send a bolt of lightning to the sky forming a red storm.

"Here it comes!" I say raising my voice

"Thunder God Chariot!" I scream and a big bolt of red lightning strikes us

We ascend to the sky and start to make our way toward the east making a rumble and red storms everywhere we pass.

.....

Soon I see a place that looks like a little black tower in the woods.

I land on a bolt of red lightning making a rumble.

"Fuck fuck fuck...." Says Meroin freaking out on the ground

"See Griviela? Thats the usual reaction" Says Faori laughing

We all start to laugh a bit and help Meroin get up.

Walking in the forest now a few meters away from the tower.

"That was... quite the experience" Says Meroin

"It is uncomfortable even for us that are vampires, Griviela is abnormally strong physically and has an innate skill to defend herself so she is fine" Says Vani casually

Griviela starts to flex her muscles and everyone laughs a bit.

"But wait, vampires? even Griviela and Faori?" Ask Meroin puzzled

"Faori is a vampire, but Griviela joined us recently so she is still in the process of proving herself to me" I say casually

Meroin seems a little surprised.

"Read runes and turn people into vampires? you are an impressive being thats for sure" Says Meroin

"Queen is impressive in bed too you will see" Says Griviela laughing loud

Everyone laughs about it and now we arrived at the black tower.

There are some guys in black robes playing with corpses at the door

"Looks kinda small actually" Says Vani casually

"I can see that there is an underground part" I say to Vani

The guys with black robes see us.

"Hey! What the? who are you? what a bunch of girls are doing where?" Says a few guys

"Your boss, bring him here now" I say with a serious tone

They send me puzzled looks

Vermins...

"Eleonore" I gesture my hand and a guys head got chopped off

They quickly entered the tower to bring their boss after that.

Soon a man wearing a black robe with a book and a staff on his hand came out of the tower.

"Who dares to interrupt the great Meliokis! I will show you fear now!" He yells

"Listen closely Meliokis, You will pack your things and go away, if you speak another word you die, if you try to fight you die, if you dont go you die, do you understand? shake your head if yes" I say in a serious tone

Meliokis looks puzzled.

"Wha-" Meliokis tried to say, but I punched him at the speed of lightning making a rumble and his head exploded

There is a little bit of blood on me now, dammit my new clothes.

"Actually, it is best if we just get rid of everyone, less chance of people discovering it" I say with a grim smile

Eleonore impales the rest of them in thread stakes.

We enter the black tower, which looks closer to an inn, there are some round tables, On the second floor some rooms and each room has a bed and a little closet the rooms are relatively big for one person. 

On the third floor, there is a bigger room with a huge bed and a round table with a closet too, there are some slaves trapped, and we cant let them go, so I offer them to work for us or die and now they are cleaning the place.

There are no windows here and everything is made of gray stones except the beds.

There is an underground chamber used for experiments with necromancy, it is big enough so Faori and Meroin are using it.

Night came and well you know.

"Mmmm Queen" moans Meroin

We had an orgy.

.....

In the morning after the orgy.

Im in the middle of the bed, Meroin on my right side Eleonore on my left hugging me, Faori is on my chest, Vani is hugging Eleonore from behind, and Griviela is doing the same with Meroin.

"This is freedom right here..." Says Meroin while melting and hugging me

"How can someone so perfect exist... makes me want to worship you, Queen" says Meroin in a low voice

Vani let out a little laugh.

"I said the same thing some time ago..." Says Vani

I laugh a little.

"I love you all girls" I say with a gentle tone

They all blush a little.

"Not fair Queen... now I want to do it again" Says Faori kissing my chest

"We have time, why not?" I say with a gentle tone

.....

We spent our days like this.

I, Griviela, Eleonore, and Vani would train and do mock battles.

Meroin and Faori are working on various kinds of research.

Two weeks later we are having a little reunion on the first floor.

Faori asked for it.

We are all sitting around the tables.

"Then go on, speak Faori" I say casually

"I was thinking we could discuss where we are going next, the objective was Avantenzel, now what?" Says Faori casually

"I was thinking the same, Does someone have someplace they want to go?" I ask them casually

"I was thinking of dragons, I heard tales that their skin is harder than any metal, a good material source for my science" Says Meroin

"Oh yeah, girl! kill a dragon is definitely an objective of mine, I heard that they live mostly in seclusion by the west very far" Says Griviela excited

"There is the popedom too, I am sure they are already preparing to fight us" I say casually

"I heard that they have artifacts capable of summoning beings called angels, kind of Oriel soldiers or something like that" Says Faori a little excited

"I read about those warriors with katana swords, there is a whole land of them if the books are correct, I would like to go there" Says Vani casually

She is really a fan of samurais huh?

"And you Faori?" I ask

"hmm, there is a tale of an artifact, called The Licht Heart, said to be so powerful that can raise whole armies and create huge death knights, it is a legend though" Says Faori thoughtful

"Legend or not, it is worth trying to find out" I say

"Eleonore, what about you something you want to do?" I ask casually

Eleonore looks thoughtful

"I heard stories about fairies that can grant you powers, I think we could try" Says Eleonore

Meroin laughs a bit

"So basically we are a group of power collectors, I like it though, what is the final objective?" Ask Meroin curiously

"Hear my words, There are only two absolute truths in this world, first I love my girls" I say with a gentle tone

We all laugh

"What is the second?" Ask Faori

"Power, the absolute rule in this world, strength, more power will never do us bad" I say with a serious tone

"Plus, traveling around with you girls, destroying, fucking, laughing about dumb things, it is fun and I love it" I say from the bottom of my heart

They all blush and agree with me.

"I was thinking too that we should wear something matching" Says Faori shaking her tail very excited

"Why though?" Ask Vani with a puzzled look

"Come on!! that is the basic about villain groups, didnt you see the necromancers that were here before?" Says Faori a little disappointed

By the look on everyones faces now, I can guess what each one of them is thinking.

She is really a child.

"Well, to wear something matching then we need a symbol" I say casually

"Something that dont get in the way while fighting is a must I think" Says Griviela casually

We all agreed.

"Something that will not get in the way and works for all of us... what do you girls think about earrings?" Says Vani after thinking a little

Everyone agrees with the idea.

"Then we need a symbol to put on the earrings" I say casually

"Well that is easy, people already know us for crashing with red thunder and storms with red lightning anyway" Says Griviela casually

"What about earrings with red clouds in them then?" Says Meroin

I feel like I know about an organization that uses the same symbol... well whatever I dont remember.

"Everyone agrees?" I ask

They all agree.

"Our things must be ready by now, Faori and Meroin you guys stay and work on your research about the fusion of necromancy and science, the rest come with me to grab our things at Avantenzel" I say, and they all agree

We go outside and I cast Thunder God Chariot to take us to Avantenzel, we land close to the gate.

"Looks like they are cleaning the mess huh" Says Griviela looking at some dwarves cleaning the bodies

We passed by them and they got scared and started running away.

Making our way into the city this time not deserted anymore, well it wasnt until we put our feet inside, and everyone started to run to their homes.

We laugh about it and go towards the blacksmith.

We arrive and he is on the balcony.

"Hey there, where are our things?" I say casually

"Wait here for a moment please" He says while going to the back of the store

Soon we show up with our items, My left arm armor, and two boots that extend themselves to my knee, they are made of gray almost black metal, and the left arm armor covers everything from my shoulder to my fingers, looks modern not a big plated armor more like a cybernetic kind of pieces.

For Griviela, a pair of black gauntlets with some layers of black steel, and little claws in the fingers, she can still do most things wearing it.

For Eleonore, 10 average sized knives with holes in the base and she can control them with threads, made of the same gray almost black metal.

For Vani, a katana with a black and white grip, a blade made of an ice color metal, and a blue sheath.

Everything was made exactly like we asked, and the size is perfect too, well we gave them after all.

I put my new equipment inside the spatial ring, and Vani new katana too.

"Say blacksmith, can you do earrings with red clouds hanging from chains? I want about 20 of them" I ask the blacksmith casually

"Yes, I can, it will not take long it is just earrings, a little bit of metal, and some red ink, will be done by tomorrow" Says the blacksmith casually

I pay the blacksmith and we are walking the street again.

"Let us see if we can find that enchanter that Nekarin talked about, I want to recreate the night cloak enchanter, it is really a pain having to walk around with a cloak forever" I say letting out a sigh

They agree and we are making our way toward the enchanter.

"Find it, lets head inside" I say after seeing it through mana vision

An old looking dwarf lady on the balcony flinches when we enter the store, she is wearing a purple cloak and is holding some kind of magic tome.

We walk to the balcony and I speak.

"Are you an enchanter?" I ask her casually

"Y-es im, how may I help you?" Says the enchanter hinting at fear

I grab my cloak from my back and show it to her.

"I want to replicate this enchantment, can you do it?" I ask with a serious tone

She looks closer at the cloak and puts on an expression of terror.

"Th-is is a prot-ection against the suns enchantment, there are only two kinds of people that use it, people that will be going to cross deserts and... vam-pires" Says the old enchanter stuttering

I look at her with a serious expression.

"If you dont want to die, it would be in your best interest not to pry into my life mortal" I say with an angry voice

Shivers run down the enchanters spine and she apologizes bowing her head.

"I c-an replicate it, it is not a difficult enchantment" Says the enchanter talking fast

I take out my new left arm armor from the spatial ring.

"How many enchantments are possible to be put in this?" I ask casually

"Depends on the potency of the enchantments" Says the enchanter

"Elaborate further about enchantments if you may" I say casually

"Enchantments are classified into grades there is, simple grade, normal grade, medium grade, and high grade, every one of these needs respective quantities of mana to be made and mana patterns and if you put an enchantment in an equipment you cant remove never" She says

"If I put the sun protection in this arm, how many other high grades i can put together?" I ask

"You can put how many you want actually but there is a catch, if your body cant take the power of all the mana inside the enchantments you will explode" Says the enchanter

huh so in theory I can take more than a normal person, but it is a big risk lets just do the normal for now, and there is the science and runes too.

And I dont know the capabilities of this enchanter, I talked about it with the others and everyone decided to wait to get their enchantments too.

"For now I will put only the sun protecting in this left arm armor" I say handing over the piece to her

Sun protection is very simple so she could do it in about 30 minutes, I paid her and will now put it.

"I guess you will have to tear apart the sleeve of your left side arm to use it Queen" Says Vani

"A pity, I just bought this trenchcoat" I say while tearing the left arm sleeve apart

I put my left arm inside and fits perfectly, looks like im using a medieval prosthesis with a hint of cybernetic, it is easy to move too.

"sheesh! You look ominous as fuck Queen" Says Griviela laughing

They all agree, well fear makes me stronger so its a good thing.

"Seeing you without your cloak outside is a little strange" Says Vani casually

"Feels refreshing, long hair, greatsword, trenchcoat and a cloak it was a bit suffocating on my back" I say laughing a bit

We got out of the city and I used thunder god chariot to take us to the hideout.

I called for a reunion with everyone.

"Meroin, take a look at these" I say showing her the pieces I got, the legs and the left arm im using right now

She looks at them and compliments their appearance and modernity.

"Can you put runes on it? and do scientific improvements as well?" I ask Meroin

"Yes, I can Queen, will take some time and I will need material too" Says Meroin a little excited to work

"Then take these legs armor first, I will be using the arm for now" I say putting the legs armor on the table

"Now, I called you all today to ask if any of you know a talented enchanter, one we can bring into our group, must be a cute girl and be a little twisted too" I say laughing a little

No one knows any, I guess we will have to be lucky and trip one in our travels.

"Queen, about Vani katana, I could make a miasma sword, they are very compatible with ice, I guess death is cold after all" Says Faori casually

Maybe thats why Eleonore air magic turned into mist, who knows.

I asked Meroin and Faori what they would need as material.

Faori needs dead steal it is a metal capable of holding miasma inside but is kind of rare to find, and the other necromancers had materials like Necronomicon and a miasma staff so she can work better now.

For Meroin, She needs practice in writing runes, she needs some time to condense the mana patterns into the runes too.

For the science part, Meroin will need Licantian, a metal that can channel lightning, I will be able to put more of my red thunder mana into my legs and left arm after this.

Meroin will need three Elemental Stones, elemental stones are gems capable of holding Elemental intensity, they are usually born into places where the elements are predominant, we will need one fire stone, one thunder stone, and one ice stone for Vani.

They can generate elemental intensity making energy to power the cybernetic enhancements.

For Eleonore and Griviela, they said that they didnt need anything right now.

"Firstly, I think we should focus on getting a definitive place to stay, someplace that no one will ever think of going" Says Vani

"A place that we can fight and train without holding back too" Says Griviela

"Miasma source close If possible" says Faori

"Needs to be big thats for sure" Ask Meroin

Eleonore seems thoughtful.

"Well is very far from here, but we could try the corrupted land" Says Eleonore

if I remember correctly, the corrupted land was the demon nation, after the war there is so much miasma there that a lot of stranger monsters are walking those parts now.

"It is a good place for us, but what do we do about where we will live? no one here knows how to build a house" Says Vani

"At the very least, I think I can make a barrier with runes so the monsters there dont get in our way" Says Meroin

"And we can make good use of those monsters for research purposes for me and Meroin" Says Faori

"We will have to cross the popedom to get there! there will be killing for sure" Says Griviela excited

"Will take quite some time until we make it there, Faori Meroin, are you girls okay with researching along the way?" I ask Faori and Meroin

"Well is not the best but we have a spatial ring so it will work somehow" Says Meroin

"Then it is decided, we will be going to the corrupted land, but I do think it is better if we wait here for a bit" I say

"We need to wait until Meroin has sufficient mastery with runecraft, we cant compare Giones with the Popedom, they are worlds apart in military strength and the Popedom knows we are coming this time" I say with a serious tone

Everyone agrees

"Meroin, how much time do you think you will need?" I ask Meroin casually

"With Queens help translating, I can make it in two months for sure" Says Meroin

"While Meroin and Faori focus on research, The rest of us will be training to get used to our new equipment" I say with a serious tone

"That is it for our plans, good work girls" I say to them with a gentle tone while getting up from my chair
