[i]With a snap of her finger, Amalia made three corpses appear.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/dWSyw6B.gif[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/g8aNoxJ.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/tQdui2H.png[/img] Amalia: For once, a streak of luck has hit me and I managed to find their original corpses. I will leave them under your command for now, but if anything goes haywire and someone questions who ordered them, instruct them as my agents. [img]https://i.imgur.com/923MoI0.png[/img] Amalia: After all, since Amilia, Zeena and Isana are doing the groundwork at your name, we wouldn't wish for you to be entirely targeted, would we? [i]A dark hole opened once again under Amalia. She slowly descended as her image began to vanish inside it.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/uMnyZCH.png[/img] Amalia: Now, I'll return to my research. Finding Brongaa's reincarnation may not be sufficient, so I'll try to learn a way of recreate [b]Ba'als[/b]. Goodbye for now, Lady Amandra. [i]With her goodbye, Amalia's figure vanished inside the dark hole, which closed right after that.[/i] [b][i][u]Location: ???[/u][/i][/b] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kwPbvR-vfw]Planet Wisp Map[/url] [i]The space was filled with light as a single crystal orb stood upon a pedestal. A small kid looked incessantly at it, curious.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/oqKiBCH.png[/img] ???: Would you look at that? Seems like Azura already did a move on those kids. Though I don't think that just Branding them will be enough. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MiOfeMP.png[/img] ???: You agree with me, right Mr. Soul Mercenary? [i]Another young man went in the light-filled room. He seemed rather nonchalant.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/jH1jd5W.png[/img] ???: You're the one saying it. I don't have ways to tell you whether you're right or wrong. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QtvlIR2.png[/img] ???: Aww, you know me so well, don't you? [img]https://i.imgur.com/UjPloUM.png[/img] ???: But to think that a god would want my services... and that he has the body of a kid. [img]https://i.imgur.com/2SIe3GX.png[/img] ???: Kiddy as I may look, you know my powers can actually do some little mix at destiny, right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/gWsX0pT.png[/img] ???: I know that, [b]Fortuno[/b]. Your very name says it all... [img]https://i.imgur.com/MiOfeMP.png[/img] [b][i]Childish God of the Lucky Seven Fortuno[/i][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/wKOxGhG.png[/img] ???: In any case, it'd do us very well if you jumped to the point of the contract. [img]https://i.imgur.com/lxFaMOo.png[/img] Fortuno: You're so mean! And here I thought you'd like to chat a little more so we could now each other! [img]https://i.imgur.com/VNW25lZ.png[/img] ???: I'd rather mind my words around a trickster god like you. [img]https://i.imgur.com/oqKiBCH.png[/img] Fortuno: But I'm so friendly~! Why, I'd never pull some sort of black cat treachery on someone unless necessary, you know. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jH1jd5W.png[/img] ???: Fortuno, please... [img]https://i.imgur.com/MiOfeMP.png[/img] Fortuno: Alright, alright, you win. I'll concede this time. [i]Fortuno turns the crystal ball off and leaps to the "ground". He walks playfully until he gets near the young man.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/oqKiBCH.png[/img] Fortuno: Those kids will need some... hmmm, challenging "aid", if I say so myself. [img]https://i.imgur.com/TuiaCnJ.png[/img] ???: You want me to enter in their way, yet you wish me to help them? [img]https://i.imgur.com/2SIe3GX.png[/img] Fortuno: Oh, you got it so fast! Usually people would say "Stop contradicting yourself", but you didn't! That's so neat! [img]https://i.imgur.com/6XDMQLt.png[/img] ???: That's because a service like this is no different from what I did under other contractors. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QtvlIR2.png[/img] Fortuno: Boy, so I'm really lucky then! An expert at being a contradiction in the path of noble heroes! Way to go, me! [img]https://i.imgur.com/NofSAMm.png[/img] ???: Well, other than the payment, what interests me is this Unitia world. I want to see how chaotic it is with my very eyes. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MiOfeMP.png[/img] Fortuno: Wonderful! Then, let's celebrate! Close the contract and we'll be off. [i]Fortuno extended his hand for a handshake. This was the way they would seal the contract. The young man answered the handshake as a four-leaf clover sigil appeared for a brief second.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/gWsX0pT.png[/img] ???: [b]Azrel Ametrine[/b] is at your service. Consider your contract signed. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zJNERsK.png[/img] [i][b]Bullet Eluding the Concept of Death Azrel Ametrine[/b][/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/2SIe3GX.png[/img] Fortuno: Yaaaay! We closed the contract~! [img]https://i.imgur.com/jH1jd5W.png[/img] Azrel: If that's everything, I'll be heading down now. Gotta find a place to stay there. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QtvlIR2.png[/img] Fortuno: Be careful! I'll be counting on you! [img]https://i.imgur.com/ME8TuIe.png[/img] Azrel: You're talking with an afterlife professional. What do you expect? [i]Fortuno opened a portal and Azrel went into it, being teleported to Unitia City. The small god returned to the pedestal, where he began to watch over the ground world again.[/i] [b][i][u]Location: World Crossers Guild - Underground Laboratory[/u][/i][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/fZE60Hw.png[/img] 5T: Thank you. Sorry if this took too much of your time. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wIMfZPi.png[/img] [i]5T took Conflict's Blade at his hand and gave it a short swing. Sparks came out of it for an instant but they soon stopped. The blade seemed greatly improved, in comparison to what it was before.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7iCdopA.png[/img] 5T: Wow, this certainly feels different from before. [img]https://i.imgur.com/JUZWKZU.png[/img] 5T: I'll make sure to repay your efforts. Considering your interest in technology, the data I have from the machinery at my world would be any useful to you?
