Chapter 713 On the Job
Chapter 713 On the Job
Legolas introduced Dante & Loki, who were actually Jugram and Ceril in their new personas. Both generals stood proudly behind the chair Legolas was sitting on, revealing domineering nature through their gazes.
Jugram as Dante now had crimson red hair falling to his shoulder and red iris in his eyes while Ceril as Loki had long white hair, falling close to his chest as his blue eyes also came into sight.
Both these commanders of the guild were donning their respective armors and gears made by Albestros back in Rakos Empire.
“These two will do the job.” said Legolas as he introduced the two saints behind him.
However, Ruben spoke in a concerned voice.
“How? Both of them are only 1st stage saints. The enemy leader is a 2nd stage saint.
Are you just taking it too casually because we’re paying less?” asked the Qebika leader in a straightforward tone.
But in response…
“You don’t need to worry about that.
Although they may seem weaker than that said pirate group leader…
Believe me, they’re very capable fighters.” chuckled Legolas.
“But if we want to get rid of the enemy… we need to lure them out first without risking your goods and the lives of your employees.” he proposed.
All 3 Qebikas nodded. Too many lives had already been lost because of these pirate attacks.
Legolas then told them his plan.
“But what if the plan fails? We’re also putting our lives at risk here.” spoke Zopin in a discontent tone.
“Then I won’t ask you for a single note of Itakar.
You also won’t have to compensate me for any of my losses either.” responded Legolas with a confident and charming smile.
The three Qebikas didn’t know that although Dante & Loki were only 1st stage saints…
They were already close to a breakthrough in levels. And on top of it… both of them were fairly capable of fighting a 3rd stage saint on their own.
Thus, a secret arrangement was made between the Misthios guild and the Qebika clients.
—————-
The Following Day.
Hundreds of massive flying helicarrier made with elven technology and craftsmanship were carrying loads of merchandise in crates and boxes through a common traveling route. This massive envoy carrying close to a thousand personnel was heading towards Eletnall, the capital of the Zivot Empire.
This was a common and widely popular route towards the capital used by people coming from Alfheim. Thus, the security provided by the imperial authorities was tight.
However, the captain ship which was leading the envoy suddenly changed direction and headed left, the rest following behind it.
The crew on this main ship was actually the new mercenary members of Misthios guild dressed as normal staff and workers while Ruben, Hariv and Zipon were in the main cockpit, waiting along with Dante and Loki.
The merchandise crates were empty, just for display under Legolas’ devices and apart from the pilot crew, only selective individuals were the normal employees.
After half an hour, their flying envoy finally appeared through a desolate forested region that they never used before.
But suddenly…
Swoom!!
Swoom!!
SHRILL!!
Humming sounds rose intensely and soon, a couple of enormous white and black patterned warships suddenly rose high in the sky, revealing themselves on the other side of mountains just 5 kilometers away.
“Just as we expected… There was a mole in your enterprise who leaked the secret route we were taking this time.
That’s why these pirates were waiting here so leisurely.” said Loki in a soft yet creepy tone.
“We’ll handle things from here.” said Dante and both saints disappeared from the spot.
They both appeared at the wide and long deck and gazed at the warships tagged along by a dozen flying ships that were heading towards their envoy.
“You know what to do.” said Dante and prepared himself.
“Man… I want to kill some people. This isn’t fair.” complained Loki as if he was bored to death.
“Just do what you’re told to do.
Master sent us both to cover both defense and offense at the same time.” spoke Dante, paying no heed to his fellow commander’s complaints.
“I can do both of that.” rebuked Loki.
“Not without revealing your identity as an Undead Necromancer or your Darkness elemental skills.” scoffed Dante.
“You sure you don’t need my help?” asked Loki again, this time… not having the slightest worry in his eyes.
To his question, Dante only chucked lightly.
“Since when have I ever needed someone’s help in fighting against an army?” he spoke and lunged high in the air.
“Alright then. Do as you wish. Just remember what master ordered us to do…
Leave none alive.” he said in a mischievous tone.
A few seconds later, Dante’s figure appeared in the middle of both groups.
“Now!” he commended.
Loki who stood on the deck quickly stomped the bottom of his scepter and in just 10 seconds, he cast a thick red barrier that rose high in the sky and quickly encompassed all the flying envoy like a round dome in a 2 kilometers radius.
But due to this protection barrier he made, no one could see what was happening outside.
“What the hell are you doing? Your ally is fighting them alone outside!
How are you going to defend us?!” clamored Ruben from the cockpit, his voice reverberating inside the entire barrier.
“Don’t worry… it’s not us you should be worried about. It’s them.” responded Loki with an insidious grin.
At this point, even the members of the guild who hid their identities as employees were curious because they had never seen any of their commanders fight before.
But right when everyone was lost in thoughts…
BOOM!!
A massive crimson-red aura exploded outside the protective dome, sending most of the pirate flying ships a few meters backwards.
And at the center of this massive and chaotic eruption filled with hellfire, Dante’s transformed figure was revealed to everyone.
Suddenly, his hair turned shoulder-length white.
Two long and pointy horns came out of his forehead and formed a band. These horns were full of blistering red fire and looked like hot magma was running under them.
Shing!!
A massive red giantsword appeared in Dante’s hand while an armor comprised of black, red and yellow appeared over his body.
Just now, Dante aka Jugram had replaced the old armor that they wore for normal work and day-to-day lives.
And after more than a month, he summoned them again. These were his new biggest trump cards in a battle.
Balrog and Ares.
