The village held a celebration.
"Yeahhhhhhh," loud cheers.
Village was dancing with excitement. The chief slowly bowed his head towards their savior.
"I couldn't thank you for saving our village. As our gratitude, we hope you accept this," he send his men a glance given them the signal.
4 men carry a huge chest, and in it, it is filled with gold coins.
Endless was literally felt greedy, but once again. He stops himself.
"Sorry, but we won't be taking it," he said with straight face.
The chief was surprised, "But... as our—"
Endless raised his hand to stop him," We gladly refuse. I appreciate your kindness, but we have to decline."
The chief and the village were a little bit confused and surprised. The chief didn't know what to say, of all the greedy adventures that came before him were all greedy, but the men in front of him weren't like that.
The chief wanted to know why.
"Sorry to be rude. May I ask why?" The chief was curious as to why he refused. There was a hidden intention.
The village chief thought there was no such thing as free of help without cost. In this world.
Endless scans the chief expression and notices that he didn't believe his generous offer. It seems he had doubts.
"Mmm... All I ask if you say a few words to your people," he said towards the chief.
The chief asked, "And what that may be?"
Endless smiled with excitement.
***
Back at the mountain.
In the deepest heart of the forest.
Filled with Oni tribes.
A certain Oni was shaking in fear while slowly bowing on his knees with fear.
The giant Oni didn't dare to raise his head while shaking in fear. He had hope if his chief would spare him.
This same Oni that was came back from the godling chamber.
The Oni chief who's sitting on chair was Tauruh.
Tauruh was a little bit confused.
"And were are the women?" He said with a cold while glancing at his frightened state.
The Giant Oni said,"I... I... there were none..." He couldn't speak clearly while shaking.
The atmosphere was intense.
Other Oni were slowly backing away, knowing well how Tauruh. They fear that there will be chaos.
Tauruh, show no reaction.
Humph, "It seem you came empty-handed..." His voice echoes.
The giant Oni pleaded with mercy,"If... you may... I'll hunt a few villagers... if you grant—"
Tauruh cuts him off, "No..." His eyes filled with disappointment and cold.
"Please.... I'll promise—"
Woosh.
Tauruh vanished in a split second and got in front of him and pierced through his chest.
Pa!(stike)
The Oni couldn't even utter a word. Tauruh hands crush his heart, spilling its blood.
Tauruh whispers, "I don't need your excuse," his eyes darken.
Group of Oni is all frightened by the scene. The giant Oni didn't even tell him about godling death.
He slowly looks at Tauruh with regrets. He slowly closed his eyes.
Tauruh slowly removed his arm and said, "Make sure his brothers eat him well." His voice shifted to disdain. He was unhappy about his failure.
Group of Oni could only nod and follow his command or else. They might end up like him.
Tauruh looks at the Oni women who are shaking in fear. His lips slowly lick.
This is their brother who died.
"Since, he came empty-handed. You'll do for now," he said with an evil grin.
The three sisters were panicking while shaking in fear.
"P-p-please... d-dont..."
"Mercy..."
The sisters were all scared.
Tauruh felt satisfied seeing them. He likes to use his authority to take others and use them for his selfishness.
"Tsk, tsk... Don't be scared. Your brother is in a better place, and I'm promise you. You'll be in a better place as well. hehe..." He said with dark humor while slowly removed his pants and showed them his long, hardened dick.
The three Oni sisters were now more frightened.
They knew they had to please him, or they might end up like their big brother. They didn't have a choice but to give into his command.
One sister slowly stood up and slid her strings to show her huge boobs.
Tauruh shows a hint of lust, and his eyes show excitement.
"Keke... mmm... I'll make sure you'll experience endless pleasure," his voice filled dark.
Both sisters filled helplessness.
Then a sudden Oni came in, causing everyone by surprised.
"Sir! We have a problem." He shouted with worried.
Tauruh expression smiled shifted with irritation.
"What now!" He shouted back at his guard.
The guard responded with fear,"Humans! They invaded our territory, and they're headed this way."
Tauruh slowly got surprised, but he asked, "How many?"
The guard said, "Only a few chief."
Tauruh slowly moved away from the women. His mood changed.
"Call everyone and hunt them down." He gives them command.
He forgot about the three Oni sisters and focused on the humans that invaded his land. The three sisters were now breathing with ease and worries.
They use the opportunity to slip away.
"We need to leave."
"Where? We don't know where to go."
Both sisters were rushing towards their tent and grabbed their little brother.
The little Oni said, "What's wrong?"
The three sisters grabbed him and said, "Uhka. We are now leaving"
Uhka asks, "Why..."
The sisters didn't have time to explain and quickly grabbed him and flee away, not looking back.
Uhka said, "What about big brother?"
The sisters cried while rushing outside the village.
"Big brother is not coming." she didn't want to say that big brother had died.
They knew if they stayed.
They will be used as tools for their chief sick entertainment. They couldn't stay anymore and not wanted to be used as his pleasure.
***
The raven members were causing too much chaos.
The criminals were killing Oni and burning their village down. The smoke was slowly poisoning the air with its black mist.
"Ehehe..."
"How much does this Oni cost?"
Slash.
Firh slowly appears and takes the lead, "Kill every last one of this beast."
He opened his palm and cast a fire magic and immediately blasted a few Oni on sight.
Woosh(flames)
Ahhhhhhhh!
Scream in agony while being burned to crispy.
Oni manage to hold them, but he ended up caught in firh magic flames.
He screamed, "ahhhhhhh," he slowly covered in fired.
Firh chuckles, "So this bastard is the culprit. Red skin beast..."
Firh understands it now.
Red skin. Firh immediately understood it was the Oni who wiped out his teammates.
"None of you won't have a pleasant death," he bits his lips with anger and casts a bigger flame, and attacks the entire villages.
Firh raises his hand and breathes in slowly.
Sssss(charging)
His flames slowly got small.
Firh concentrates his mana by releasing it in one spot.
He immediately released his energy.
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Ka-boom!
His flames suddenly shoots beam and created a huge wave of flames across the village.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
the sound the village exploded while in flame.
"Eheheh..."
"Our captain still doesn't hold back,"
"So this is the difference between us and the captain."
The criminals were at "aw" at the burning sight of their captain magic energy.
One criminal spotted something moving in the flames. He thought he was hallucinating.
Humph!
The shadow figure slowly reveals itself.
The criminal smirk, "It seem one of them is fire resistant. Tsk... typical, and now he has to suffer." He slowly walks towards Oni with wide grin on his face.
Tauruh shows an unpleasant dark reaction.
Seeing his tribe burn to crisp and died while being burned. Tauruh slowly glances at firh with anger and cold.
Firh smirks,"It seems another beast managed to survive."
He cast another fire magic and instantly attacked him.
Wooooosh(flame)
Tauruh took that attack head-on.
The criminals were laughing and mocking him.
"I was expecting him to dodge."
"Tsk... man, I was hoping to have at it."
"I felt bad for the beast."
One by one, the criminals were mocking the Oni. Firh smirks, but he slowly notices that the Oni is still alive.
"Ugh!?" His surprised.
Tauruh said, "I can't believe this. My men were killed by some weaklings," he bit his lips with anger.
Firh was little but surprised.
"So you managed to dodge my attack," he said with surprise.
Tauruh didn't dodge it but took it head-on without moving. He got offended by his words.
Tauruh said, "Dodge? You mean that weak ass, flame of yours," he mocks his magic fire.
Firh got mad,"Tsk, I was gonna give you a quick death, but I changed my mind. I'll slowly burn you!"
His palm lights up in fire.
Firh chuckles, "Let's see..."
He cast another huge beam of flame.
Tauruh immediately speeds through his beam of flames.
Ahahahahaha! Firh laugh at the Oni.
Woosh!
Tauruh got in front of him and grabbed his hand, shutting his flames. Got firh off guard.
Whaaa?!
Firh didn't expect Tauruh to be able to grab him. He thought he burned him, but now. He made a terrible mistake. The Oni in front of him wasn't just some random beast.
It was beast in sheep clothing, and he got caught in it.
Tauruh said, "Don't think that you'll have pleasant death," he said the same word he once said. He glares at him with serious hatred in his eyes.
Firh was about to shout, but Tauruh grabbed his mouth tightly and said, "Did I give you permission to speak?"
Gasp!
Firh was now sweating and scared. He saw the terror in front of him. While his men were now scared.
Tauruh group surrounded them.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Panic voice.
The criminals were showing fear while being surrounded by Oni.
Tauruh said, "Capture them..." He gives a command.
Group of Oni slowly shows their smug.
The criminals were crying in terror.
***
5 weeks later...
Back at the chameleon guild.
Paulina stares at Endless and Clara with excitement.
"How was it?" She asks.
Clara replied, "It was easy." She shows a prideful expression.
Paulina smiled, "That's great to hear."
The second floor endless was searching for a new quest.
Clara slowly hugs endless from behind, "What is our next mission?" She asks.
'Well, I was thinking that we should take a risk.' Endless grabbed Adamantium quest.
Clara relaxes on his back by putting her face on it. "I'll go wherever you decide," she was sincere about it.
***
Edward slowly stepped and put his paper on Paulina counter.
[Iron level quest]
[A mysterious creature is terrorizing a city]
Reward: 40 gold coins.
Paulina scanned and got worried.
"Edward. I hope you're not planning to solo this," her voice filled with concern.
Edward shows no sign of hesitating.
"I like to take this quest." He said.
Edward was filled with anger about Tyrone and Elizabeth. The thought about them having sex was too much for him to be furious.
Now, he's going alone on a mission.
Paulina tries to reason with him, "Edward. I recommend you party with someone."
Edward said, "And who do you have in mind?"
Paulina looks around and spotted Victoria and Daniel.
She said, "How about them," she pointed to those two troubled makers.
Edward looked behind and said,"Them..."
Paulina nods.
"Yes..." she responds back politeness.
Edward slowly ask them,"Will you two like to go on quest with me?"
Victoria said, "What level is it?"
Daniel folded his arm with curiosity.
Edward said, "Iron level."
Oth glance and agree.
"Alright." She said.
"I'm in." He said.
Paulina stamps their quest.
Pop.
"Good luck, you three," she said with concern still.
She still had doubts.
"Please come back safely," she mutters.
Paulina stares at the second floor, wondering if she could ask them for help. But again, she shoved that idea away.
'No... I should think positive. They should handle that quest themselves. To prove themselves or they might not move on.' Paulina wanted them to move up and surpassed their rank.
"I hope I'm right." She still feels worried.
