Chapter 581: This and That Happened

“She was that strong?” Flavna looked down in disbelief at how Beatrice single-handedly took on a lesser abomination as well as over a dozen demonlings. “That doesn’t even...” Flavna swiftly turned to Ember and demanded, “You, explain! Who the hell is that?”

“The Savior of this world,” Ember answered. “According to a certain High Priest.”

“That lunatic!?” Flavna asked with disgust. “Oh, you’re a member of his sex cult. But, no, that doesn’t explain anything! I’ve never seen or even heard of that person before a couple of days ago. Where did the High Priest find someone like her?”

“Would you believe me if I told you it was a summoning ritual?” Ember asked.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

“I could have Gamesh dig through that insolent little head of yours if you continue playing games,” Flavna said.

“If you could, you would have done so already,” Ember answered with a smile and looked at the blue haired captain. “Such a convenient spell is too good to be true. What’s the limitation? A willing contract?”

“And here I thought that Lucarad only kept the lowest of degenerates and nymphomaniacs around him,” Gamesh said.

“And now Beatrice went to tear that tentacle freak a new one for being indirectly responsible for her friend’s death. I imagine that after that she’ll want to escalate to those directly responsible... Any questions?”

Flavna and Gamesh slowly turned their heads and looked at each other in silence.

Flavna then turned back to Ember. Still in her thoughts and after swallowing hard, she asked with a noticeably dry mouth, “What about the fire that killed over twenty people, including good Captain Rivaldo?”

“Oh, yes, I heard about that horrible tragedy,” Ember said, looking distraught. “My thoughts and prayers go out to their families! Unfortunately, we were already in the tunnels to the palace by then and only learned about it after the fact. And even if we knew, none of us have any skills that help with putting out fires. Not that your soldiers would’ve let us try even if we did.”

“‘Tragedy’ my ass!” Flavna growled and switched her weight to one foot, ready to jump, only to be swiftly stopped by Gamesh who put his arm in front of her.

“We might just have a far more serious issue on our hands,” Gamesh said to his fellow captain.

Flavna stood still for a couple of seconds, eyeing Ember like parasite that needed to be squashed. She then took several deep, audible inhales and exhales, and, finally, said, “Take us down.”
