Chapter 883: The Disaster Arc I

The maid gasped, seeing that Cain punched the black ghost of death.

Behind his back, a second ghost appeared.

The sword was a powerful magic item that guaranteed two lethal hits and added a death spell on top, for a three-layered attack that made sure the target died. But in exchange, the wielder dies as well.

CLANG! As the ghost clenched his arms around Cain, a shockwave blasted it away. Cain turned around and pointed a finger at the ghost. "It's useless." The poor thing disappeared, Cain already beat death before, and as a pillar of the world, the over god, the concept of death doesn't apply to him.

Cain turned toward the maid, pulling a healing potion out of nowhere. "Say AHHH!" He shoved it in her mouth, holding her still to drink it.

BAM! The other maids lunged in, seeing him forcing their friend to drink a healing potion.

"This bastred! Didn't the sword activate?!" They growled.

"It did." Cain turned his head toward them as he dropped the maid from his hands, she was already healed.

SWOSH! He disappeared and their attacks missed. "Where did he go?!" One gasped, but he appeared behind her swinging a carrot at her skull. CRACK! The carrot shattered as the maid's body spun in place.

"DIE!" Another maid growled, thrusting a shiv at Cain's head. STAB! The shiv pierced a lettuce head and the maid gasped. "Where did he go?!"

"Below you!" Another shouted as Cain swung his hand with an onion in his palm, smacking the maid in the face and sending her flying out of the window.

"Let's take this outside." Cain jumped out of the window behind the maid and rushed into the garden.

They chased him and fired darks after him. "Drop dead!"

Cain did a flip and caught all the darts before landing beneath the tree with grace. "Thanks, I was getting thirsty." He squirted them into his mouth.

"Taste like pickles." He smiled at the terrified maids. None of them understood why they were struggling so much, why could this man fight like this, it's like he's not even taking this fight seriously.

Cain wasn't serious, not even one bit. As an overgod, he was merely putting on a show. The fancier it looks, the better. All for one reason, those maids fighting him are a bunch of serial killers, professional assassins with almost no sense of morality. Not because they wanted it or they were born like this, but because it was stripped from them.

Hostages, dept, addictions, and more, each of the twelve maids had a reason why she was willing to pretend to be a maid for months only to get a chance at killing him. Money won't be enough, so there has to be another thing that's forcing them.

As Cain fought the maids, prolonging the fight as much as possible while trying to make it look legit and fancy, his clones went to the clients of the maids. They were mostly nobles and merchants who put this plan together to get rid of Cain, the one making it hard for them to operate in the kingdom.

Cain smiled, "Say! How are you all doing?" He looked at the maids rushing at him.

"Why start a conversation now!" One swung a fist at him using a knuckleduster. CRACK! Cain blocked her punch with a fist. The two traded blow for blow as the other maids prepared another joined attack.

"Careful!" The knuckleduster maid growled, "He's far stronger than he looks like!" She clenched her teeth, blocking a punch from him in a boxer's guard. Sweat rushed down her face as she started getting exhausted, "This bastard isn't even sweating yet! He has at least twice my strength and stamina."

"Wasn't he supposed to be a mage?" One asked as she pointed a finger at him, charging a spell.

[Bind]

She fired a web of ropes at Cain, "Got him!"

With a smile on his face, Cain grabbed the edge of the web before it hit him and ran toward the maid, wrapping her in her own spell like it was nothing.

"Let me show you how to use magic." Cain pulled his staff, and all the maids instantly felt a shiver run down their spines. All this time, Cain didn't use a legit weapon, only things that he found around the house.

To be fair to Cain, he doesn't need a staff to cast magic. But out of habit, he still pulls it out, and also since it'll look more fun to him, aiming with a staff and swinging it with magic.

BAM! Cain lunged at the other maids and pointed a finger at them, forming a small fireball.

The maids jumped out of the way to avoid the blast, but it was then that he pointed his staff at one of them. [Bind] And caught her.

"The most effective way to use bind is to force the target to move in a certain way and then intercept them. That makes it less likely for them to be able to evade." He jumped over the maid and stared at the rest.

"You're used to killing your target quickly, so drawn fights like this are strange for you." He waved to the staff, "I also doubt all of you had worked together like this. Mostly solo missions, or at best two of you together. Your coordination while good as you clearly practiced while you were working together here, you still lack fight experience in teams."

[Stinking Cloud] He unleashed a green cloud of stench.

The maids closed their noses, disgusted at their bowels twisted. "You bastard!" One of them lifted her hand with a wand, [Wind Blast] And blasted the cloud away.

"We can't beat this bastard!" The maid knocked in the kitchen and crawled out, "Everyone! Assemble here."

The maids saved their bound friend and assembled in one place, "Do you have a plan."

She looked at them with a pale face. "Sorry, you're important to me. We've got to know each other well in those past days. But those I left behind are more important." She lifted her hands.

"What?" The rest gasped.

"Sorry…" She mumbled.

CLANG! Cain blitzed her in the blink of an eye, cutting her arms and head.

[Vorvadoss] lips on her severed head moved in silence, conjuring the unheard words.

All the maids' souls disappeared, getting absorbed into a mass of darkness as Cain growled. "Damn it Nyar! You know how to sneak someone."

The maids' bodies disappeared as they got crushed by the mass. Cain landed back, "Sebas! Get into the portal and…"

BAM! A massive blast flashed out of the mass, blasting Cain's mansion and a chunk of the city into ash, killing the butler and a lot of citizens in one go.

Cain stood in place, "You had to do it." He lifted his staff. "Vorvadoss, Lord of space." He pointed at him. "Time to die."

ROAR! Vorvadoss growled, his body engulfed in green flames as he jumped toward Cain. A massive humanoid creature, almost fifteen feet tall, muscular, and had two severed wings on his back.

Vorvadoss kicked Cain across the city, toppling several buildings with him. As the lord of space, he could change his location to the outer world without actually leaving Cain's world, a tricky abomination. Even in Cain's work, he still holds his whole power.

Cain stood unscathed, seeing the blood seeping out of the destroyed buildings, "Five hundred people just died. The blast from before took three thousand people down," He stood as the people in the city panicked.

Cain stored his staff and started walking forward. ^Was this all Nyar's plan? Probably, that bastard is as sneaky as they get. From the look of it, the maid didn't know what she was summoning, just that it was a powerful creature to beat me. Judging how she was willing to die with that sword, it probably made sense in her head that sacrificing more than herself would summon a greater power.^

Cain blinked and he was standing before Voradoss. "Sorry, but I'll have to kill you."

****

Back in his heaven, Cain sat on his couch with Lexi sucking him off. He looked up, "Ereshkigal!" He called.

Lexi stopped sucking and stared at him. "It was supposed to be only me."

"Sorry, but Furberg got blasted with a powerful abomination. I need her to start transferring the souls of the dead, even Sebas was killed."

"What!" Lexi gasped.

Ereshkigal walked down the stairs, "I already started moving soul…why did you call me!" She gasped as she saw Lexi sitting between his legs.

"Don't worry about this. Keep an eye on the battlefield." He replied.

"Should you be here?" She growled.

"Don't worry, the situation is under control," Cain replied. "Just to spite Nyar, I'll kill Voradoss and bring those maids back."

"I hope you know what you're doing." Ereshkigal sighed, going back to her room.

"What maids?" Lexi asked.

"Didn't you know? Sebas hired some new maids to take care of the Furberg mansion. But as it turned out, they were assassins sent to kill me." He explained.

"Kill you? That's a stupid thing to think of…but I can't blame them. Not many people know who you are, or how strong you are."

Cain patted her head as she gets back to sucking, "Nyar is a crafty bastard. His attacks are unpredictable but all with one goal…I can't wait to cut him apart."
