Chapter 913: Invited To The Trip

Pov Alan (Hero of Justice):

I was in the Colosseum that day, it was the first hour of daylight in the morning, as every day since we arrived in this city we were occupying our morning time in the Colosseum to improve our combat experience with different enemies.

This time I was facing a Space Element Shaman, it made it impossible to dodge his Spirit Runes that hid in space or could pass through space, and the entire arena could be full of traps invisible to me.

The worst of all was the Spirit he had a contract with, it was a pink bird with 5 eyes that was perched on his shoulder, I could feel that damn Spirit trying to freeze the space around me every time he tried to attack.

"Let's get this over with." (I)

"Just give up, you haven't landed a single hit on me so far."

"< Elemental Avatar: Knight of Judgment >" (I)

I use my mana and Aura to summon my Elemental Avatar using my Affinities with the elements metal, thunder, fire, and wind.

A 3 meter long armor rises with white flames coming out of the armor's gaps, a cape that seems to be made of thunder element energy is on its back while in its hands is a translucent sword, chains filled with magic circles are wrapping around the other arm his.

A representation of everything I believe and want to be, a Knight who will fight for justice.

"Now I will..." (I)

"< Special Shards of Death >"

Suddenly the space itself cracked around me as previously invisible Runes appeared, then the space around me shattered in a few spots as these shards pointed towards me from all directions, I knew there was no way to dodge this attack and even defend myself it would be impossible without using my holy power.

"I lost." (I)

"[The winner is...]"

----------------

I was leaving the arena when I meet two masked people, I've seen them fighting in the arena before, both are dual sword users, one focused on speed and technique, while the other is focused on instinct and deception.

The tallest one had a mask with a Wolf design while the lowest one had a mask with a Demon design.

"You should have used everything you had from the start." (Wolf Mask)

"Fights are for training, so I have to fight longer to gain experience." (I)

"In a fight, your enemies won't want a lasting battle, they will want to kill you with every blow, don't create bad habits." (Wolf Mask)

"You're stupid, he was waiting for you to stop moving." (Demon Mask)

"..." (I)

Listening to them made me understand my mistakes, it was so simple, but sometimes we need an outside view to help see the things we don't realize.

Talking to them for the first time I realized that there are items to hide their identity, and even their voices are distorted.

"There you are Alan, let's eat some..." (Bianca)

"Diana!? How long has it been, where's that cute Vampire, can I smell him on you?" (Darcia)

"Who's the Beast Man here, me or you with that ridiculous nose?" (Wolf Mask)

"Your clothing has the Master's blood." (Demon Mask)

"Damn, I forgot to clean it, it must have been dirty when I hugged him yesterday, his clothes were full of blood." (Wolf Mask)

I look at Darcia who was accompanying Bianca and then I heard the two masked people in front of me who couldn't feel the Aura.

But listening to what Darcia said along with what the two masked people said made me understand who they are and my posture changes.

"Are you Zenos' companions!?" (I)

"Yes, can we talk somewhere else?" (Diana)

-----------

Pov Zenos:

The Floating Ship was leaving, so I stood on the ledge looking at the city that was shrinking from my view until I fell within my shadow milliseconds before being grabbed by someone who fell off the edge of the Floating Ship before a current went to her.

"Please avoid falling off the Ship and trying to grab me." (I)

"You are so evil, how do you expect me to resist!?" (Darcia)

"I'll take care of this idiot, I'm sorry again." (Bianca)

"Okay, that sort of thing happens daily where I come from." (I)

"(Lately Dungeoneering people are getting better with their stealth skills to the point where they don't want to go out at night.)" (I)

"Lets go in." (Bianca)

"Let go of me, I don't want to come in, let go of these damn chains..." (Darcia)

I see the Priestess of the Temple of Justice pulling her chained companion into the Ship and out of my sight, meanwhile, the Hero Alan who has been making a horrible expression since he arrived comes to talk to me.

"I didn't think you would be the masked ones." (Alan)

"That was the goal, there are a lot of people looking for us." (I)

"I should arrest you, do you think I don't know about the crimes you've committed?" (Alan)

"You can try, but we both know you won't make it." (I)

"Why did you let us come along?" (Alan)

"You're a Hero, I'm sure you want to be in a place where you can make a difference, we'll be passing near or even in the middle of some of these battlefields, so why not take you along?" (I)

"I had received a letter yesterday, but I didn't know how to travel with the shutdown of the Teleportation Gates." (Alan)

"Do you have a destination in mind?" (I)

"No, the letter I received told me to help where I believe it's best, our dogmas teach us to seek our own justice without harming the innocent, so the orders are usually vague for me to choose the path for myself." (Alan)

"Good for you." (I)

"(I can't tell him that his presence is very important to balance the scales of luck.)" (I)

During the night when the meeting ended, Ibuki told me that in the Colosseum he heard the Hero talking to his companions and heard that the Hero has 4-digit luck, that's more than enough to balance my almost cursed luck.

"While you're here you'll be a guest, so try not to fight with anyone..." (I)

"Honey, why are you here? Your sister didn't do anything wrong this time, I take it?" (Abigail)

"Mom!?" (Alan)

"What are you doing here? My brother said he would take you and my sisters to safety." (Alan)

"Don't look at me like that, it wasn't my idea." (I)

Out of nowhere, the Saint of Fertility appears from inside the Ship, then I discover that the Hero of Justice is also her son.

"Little Zenos is letting us stay at his house, I've never known such an interesting place, his sister Naomi already said she's never going to leave here, the last time I saw her she was with a group of Lamias." (Abigail)
