99 Convergence of Fate
First things first, I've got an announcement to make.
I've actually got an artist to draw things for us.
Yup, now we can have drawings!
Not anything super duper fancy, he is a trainee but more than enough for anything we'll need, if it comes to making something extremely good, I can always have a professional artist.
Like making the front page of the Novel.
Although the cost would be 10x over XD.
I ain't done yet! So don't leave.
From now on, I'll make a poll every once in a while where I'll put some of my favorite ideas/suggestions for art, so make sure to go there and vote!
https://www.p@treon.com/posts/67870681
If you have a suggestion of a drawing you think would be interesting/cool, tell me in the comments on P@treon itself.
(Remember to switch the @ in case it isn't working...)
Over time, I hope we can develop this more and eventually reach a balance of images per month.
For now, I've been having my artist make something, but he was late so I won't be releasing it today, but it should be ready by Sunday.
I'll also take this day and have the most voted option be drawn.
Aside from that, I'll be here to answer your question or hear your suggestions.
PS: No, I won't have him draw R-18 images.
Also, I just realized I posted the chapter half an hour ago on the wrong volume XD, its fixed now.
Peace!

/14th floor of the Dungeon…/
'A bunch of Amazons could be seen hidden within a dark cave, waiting for something to happen.'
/Step step step…/
'A girl suddenly rushed inside and made a hand gesture, signalizing that it was time to move.'
"KEKEKE!"
/Tremble.../
'From the dark, a massive figure of a fat woman appeared, laughing in a weird frog-like manner.'
'Each of her steps made the cave tremble slightly, a testimony of her power... And weight.'
"He's finally here, I was getting tired of waiting. I might as well rot from staying around this dump." Said Phryne with a twisted smile as she looked at the other Amazon
"Let's just get this over with and leave." Said a girl with silver hair holding an ax in her hand
(Image)
'Phryne smile suddenly twisted as she licked her lips and said:'
"So? Who will go? I recommend myself since I doubt any of you are capable of handling that man."
'They all looked at each other before someone took a step forward.'
'A sexy Amazon with long dark hair took a step forward and said:'
"I'll go, but I will need that."
'Phryne looked at the girl and smiled with her hideous largemouth, her fat chin moved as she chuckled.'
"You? Are you sure you can handle him, Aisha? Such a man is better left in my gentle hands…"
'But Aisha said nothing, taking a step forward as she approached Haruhime who was clad in a red cape, blocking most of her face.'
"Do it." She said
'Haruhime said nothing and instead just opened her mouth to chant in an emotionless tone:'
"Grow... That power and that vessel. Breadth of wealth and breadth of wishes."
'Faint golden light started to form in her hands...'
"Until the bell tolls, bring forth glory and illusion. Grow. Confine divine offerings within this body."
'The golden light started to shine brightly, almost blinding those that watched it...'
"This golden light bestowed from above. Into the hammer and into the ground, may it bestow good fortune upon you. Grow."
'When she finished chanting, a spiraling ray of light surged from her body and into the body of Aisha, making her glow faintly.'
"KEKEKE! I am sure you decided to volunteer just so you could experience this power right? I can't blame you, this power is so very tasty..." Said Phryne with a mocking tone
'But Aisha said nothing, ignoring her as she walked outside of the cavern…'
…
/Clang!/
/Poof!/
'Silver stabbed the heart of a Hellhound with his Halberd after blocking its claw swipe, before stabing the Magic cristal, making the Hellhound go into smoke.'
'Once he was done, he crouched and grabbed the stone on the ground cheerfully.'
'But he did something strange, he threw the Halberd towards a random wall!'
/POOF!/
'And surprisingly enough, there was a hidden Almiraj in there, waiting to ambush him!'
"..."
'In another strange sequence of events, instead of going towards his Halberd, he turned around and proceeded to make his way down the corridor with his hands in his pockets...'
'But midway down his path, he suddenly crouched!'
/FWOOSH!/
'Aisha suddenly appeared behind him, swinging her large sword at him without mercy.'
/BAM!/
"Arg!"
'Silver did a small roll and kicked Aisha on her belly, sending her flying as he got back on his two feet once more like an agile cat.'
'Throughout this entire encounter, Silver did not remove his hands from his pockets...'
'As he looked at her, a spark of insight passed through his eyes before a wide smile formed on his lips.'
"Well well, I don't remember ever meeting you, what did I do to you? Oh, beautiful amazon with long black hair?" Asked Silver with a smile
'On the outside, Silver acted like a goofball, but internally, he was focused.'
So they finally decided to act and take the bait...
It looks like my small actions did buy me some time, but they still acted.
Alright, I want to see who is more tenacious, me or Ishtar...
'Aisha looked at him and licked her lips.'
"You truly are as strong as the rumors said… But it ends here."
"If you want to hate someone… So hate my fickle Goddess and her caprices!"
'Aisha suddenly vanished due to her immense speed, slashing her sword at Silver from the side!'
/CLANG!/
'But Silver's Halberd suddenly came flying at an incredible speed, blocking her attack!'
"Dammit!" She exclaimed as she looked at his smile
'He was mocking her!'
'Silver did not wait for too long as he raised his right hand, making the Halberd move and perform a spinning attack before he raised his own leg to do a low kick!'
/CLANG!/
'She blocked his first strike and jumped away from his kick elegantly.'
'And once she was done, she said in denial:'
"Oi oi, this wasn't supposed to happen."
How is he keeping up with me despite the Level boost?! I am supposed to be Level 4 right now!
'But Silver smiled, scratching his chin in wonder as he said:'
"You're strong, Level 4? I will ask again, why are you attacking me?"
'His words stung deep into her heart, it was as if he was mocking her for being Level 4, making little of her presence...'
'Aisha said nothing and instead, she rushed forward once more.'
/CLANG CLANG!/
'Aisha's sword and Silver halberd clashed several times before Silver pinned her sword down on the ground with his foot before doing another a spinning attack on her abdomen, sending her flying into the wall.'
'This time, he went running after her and punched her in the guts as she crashed into the cave wall, making a large crater in the Dungeon's resilient walls.'
/CRACK!/
'He moved his hand sideways, throwing her across the wall, making a long dent in it.'
"Humph..."
'He raised his hand and pressed down.'
/BAM!/
"GAH!"
'Aisha suddenly felt a massive pressure hit her abdomen pressing her down into the ground with such power that a crater was formed.'
'She even puked a bit of blood due to the many strikes she received on her torso.'
'Looking at her, Silver turned around and grabbed her sword.'
'He looked straight at her as he played with her massive sword:'
"Last chance will you tell me who you are and your reasons for being after me?"
She isn't used to her strength, so it doesn't matter much. Even if she is currently stronger physically than me, what of it?
If she can't even make proper use of it then it's as good as not having it.
"COUGH! COUGH!"
'Aisha slowly got up from the ground, she coughed a bit and gazed at him with a fierce smile.'
"What a man, if only it wasn't for these circumstances I would've loved to spend a few nights with you…"
'But Silver just smiled awkwardly.'
"Sorry ma'am, I already have someone…"
'But she smiled nonetheless.'
"You seem pretty carefree with your answer for someone with an owner… Besides, that never mattered for someone like us!"
/FWOSH!/
"?!"
/CLANG!/
'Silver was suddenly sent flying across the cave.'
'From the side, a massive fat fist slowly opened.'
"Kekeke… I knew you wouldn't be enough, what a pathetic sight for someone who got her strength." Said Phryne as she mocked Aisha
"Well, doesn't matter, thankfully I came, else you incompetent girls wouldn't be able to do shit."
"Weren't you blocked just now?" Said one of the Amazons sarcastically
"#! I didn't pour my all! Otherwise, he would've died right here right now… And this isn't good at all…"
/Crack…/
"That hurt..."
'Silver slowly dislodged himself from the Dungeon walls, cracking his neck as he looked forward with a 'confused' expression.'
"I see it now, but still, why are you all after me… Why is the Ishtar Familia after me? I don't remember ever going to the red light district, so ladies…"
'As he said this, several Amazons made their way out of their hiding spots. They all glared at him with mixed emotions.'
'But 95% of them were glaring at him with lust…'
'And the few that weren't looking at him like that seemed to have mixed emotions about all of this.'
"What an honor… What brings together the entire top battalion of Ishtar to this humble me?"
'But as he said this, his eyes were moving fast, observing each and every person present here.'
They sent more people than I imagined, but they only sent Phryne, the rest doesn't matter.
They even blocked my escape route with that horrendous item, I can't teleport away…
'Silver tried to test the range and he immediately grimaced.'
50M? It's way bigger than last time, did they improve it? Fucking great…
I really hate this magic tool… Not that it matters. I just need to get out of its range…
They can't stop me from leaving if I want to, but since I'm here...
'It was at this moment that Silver looked at the far back and noticed a pair of green eyes staring at him from the end of the cavern.'
'Those eyes held many emotions within them, sadness, helplessness, despair... Guilt.'
"..."
'Her face may be covered, but it wasn't enough to hide everything…'
'Haruhime seemed shocked, yet disappointed, and most importantly of all, extremely sad.'
'Seeing that made Silver reconsider his plans one more time… So he smiled and asked:'
"One against many… I am used to it already…"
'One of the Amazons looked at him and said:'
"Let's get him before things get bad, everyone, circle him!"
'The Amazons all went around him while Aisha drank a potion, getting up soon after.'
"KEKEKE! Would it be too bad to have a taste right now?" Asked Phryne as she approached Silver and licked her lips
'But Aisha said:'
"Remember what Ishtar said, no touching. It would mess everything up."
'Phryne looked at her and scoffed.'
"It was just a joke, soggy breasts."
/Thud… Thud…/
'Each step Phryne took shook the cave slightly.'
'Silver looked at her as she approached and remembered the information he stole from Ishtar's vault, thinking quickly:'
I have no chance of winning against this bitch, her two highest stats, strength and vitality are almost double that of mine, with their total nearing that of 4000, while my own is still a bit far from 3000, the rest doesn't matter.
What makes her an even worse problem are her Development abilities, Abnormal state resistance, and… Magic resistance… Worse, she also has healing powers and Fist strike.
She may act like an arrogant bitch, but she has the power to do so, still, she is fucking mad…
I don't even want to remember what I read about her in those documents…
The number of people she killed, tortured, and raped to death... Especially those many children...
All with a smile on her face...
'Silver felt both disgusted and angry by simply remembering about it.'
"You truly are such a cutie, well, I'm into younger boys but I think it would be a shame to miss such a stud like you KEKEKE!" Said Phryne as she moved her hand to grab Silver's crotch
'Silver jumped backward, making Phryne exhale turbid air with an amused face… If that could be called that.'
"You may flee now, but soon enough you will be begging to have a taste of me… Anyway… Take him out!" She said as she raised her ax and rested it on her shoulder
"!"
They're coming!
'Silver looked around him and formulated a plan.'
/Smack!/
'Silver kicked behind him, sending the first girl flying and crashing against the dungeon wall.'
/Fwoosh!/
'He evaded more strikes and delivered two fast punches to two more girls.'
'Using telekinesis, he pushed three girls and made them collide with the others while he jumped in the air and kicked another Amazon in the face.'
"Sorry but not sorry ladies." He said as he landed
"Don't get cocky kid!" Exclaimed Aisha as she jumped into the fray
/Clang clang clang!/
"..."
'Haruhime observed the fight with depressed eyes, she had already lost her hopes…'
'But as she gazed at him fighting against the many, slowly but surely winning, she felt something surging within her…'
/THUD!/
"How pathetic."
'But her hopes were crushed under the fat body of Phryne as she took a step forward…'
/Fwoosh!/
'Silver continued on his intense fight, evading and clashing against the multitude of Amazons, displaying his extensive combat knowledge.'
'He used several tactics at the same time, forcing them to fight against each other or limiting the number of people clashing with him due to his positioning...'
'He conserved as much Mind as he could, dealing with them purely with his overwhelming stats.'
/CLANH!/
'One of the Amazons was pushed back, being grabbed by her companions. She whipped the blood on her face and said:'
"Is that really a Level 2?"
'Another one replied with a bit of awe:'
"No wonder he is called a miracle, such strength for his Level is extraordinary…"
/BAM!/
'Silver kicked the ground, creating a small crater as he jumped into the air, he kicked the ceiling of the Dungeon and flew out of the encirclement...'
/FWOSH!/
/BAM!/
'Suddenly, a massive ax came crashing against him, cutting his left shoulder and sending him crashing against the ground.'
"HUMPH!"
'Phryne rudely pushed aside the Amazons on her way as she looked at Silver, seeing this, everyone went away from Silver, knowing she would take care of this on her own.'
"Time's up. I don't want to waste any more time! I'll take you right here!" She said as she licked her lips
/BAM!/
"ARG! Motherfucker!" Exclaimed Phryne with gushing anger
'Silver suddenly vanished from his position, smashing his fist against her face in anger.'
'His strength and vitality may be lower than hers, but all of his statuses were equal in value, and when compared to Phryne's his Dexterity isn't that far from her's!'
'He could see her move and with his speed, he could even counterattack!'
/CLANG!/
"Urg...!"
'Silver moved his Halberd but Phryne blocked it, making him recoil due to the power.'
'She smiled with sadistic glee, but Silver smiled even more as an ice spike hit her in the forehead!'
"AHHH MY FACE! NOW YOU'VE DONE YOU LITTLE SHIT!" She screamed in anger, making the entire cave tremble
'As blood poured down her face, Silver continued to harass her with a mix of his Plasmids and teleportation, the unpredictability of his moves + his speed were too much for the simplistic and brute Phryne to deal with.'
"TRY TO BLOCK THIS!" She said as she raised her battleax, striking it on the ground
/BOOOOOM!/
'Everyone was suddenly kicked from the ground as the impact wave of her attack was so tyrannical that the entire 50 M area around them shook massively as if a small earthquake was happening.'
"!"
'Because of this, even Silver tripped on the ground, making a big opening for Phryne!'
"Good night!"
'She raised her hands to knock him down but Silver suddenly vanished with a rude smile.'
"WHAT?! WHERE IS HE?!" Exclaimed Phryne in a loud tone
/BOOOM!/
'She punched the wall of the cave in anger, making the entire place tremble even further, it was a miracle that the Dungeon was still intact seeing all of the cracks running around the place.'
'Some of the Amazons were fearful of being buried...'
"I thought you had used that item!"
'One of the Amazons said:'
"We did use it! It should be working!"
'Phryne looked behind her as she searched, and it was at that moment she realized something was very, very wrong…'
"Where is Haruhime?... WHERE IS SHE?!"
/BOOOOOM!/
'Phyne raised her war ax and slashed at the wall in anger, almost making that section of the Dungeon collapse…'
'Her slash continued for many meters, creating a small ravine throughout that section of the Dungeon...'
"..."
'Aisha stared at the Dungeon hallways, thinking deeply about something…'
"FIND HER AND THAT BASTARD THIS INSTANT! IF WE DON'T FIND THEM WITHIN TODAY I WILL SKIN ONE OF YOU YOU ALIVE IN FRONT OF ISHTAR!" Exclaimed Phryne in anger
"...?!"
'Aisha suddenly noticed something falling near Phryne, she was about to point it out when…'
/BOOOOOOOM!/
"It's a trap!" Exclaimed one of the Amazons…
…
/At the same time somewhere else.../
/Boooom.../
"Haa… Haa…"
'Silver and Haruhime could be seen running around the Dungeon. Going further and further away from the center of the explosion.'
'Silver had a serious look on his face while Haruhime had a conflicted expression.'
"Hum? Why did you stop? Come on!" Said Silver as he frowned
'And he immediately noticed her expression.'
Was that not enough? Is she still doubting herself?
We are so close to the end of the item's influence…
"This is enough, you managed to flee and now you can report this to the Guild, it should be enough for you to…"
'Silver suddenly went to her and put her in a princess carry, making Haruhime blush.'
"We can talk about this as we run."
No time for drama, gotta run before an angry frog comes after me!
"..."
'She bit her lips in agony as her heart, what she wanted was so close… So close…'
…
'Silver eventually escaped the magic item influence and teleported himself and Haruhime out of harm's way.'
'Haruhime was flabbergasted where they were.'
"Wh-Wh..."
'They were previously in the Dungeon, but they were now at the top of a ruin in the Middle of Orario...'
"..."
'Silver gently put her on the ground, he looked at her with a serious expression and said:'
"See? I told you it would happen."
"..."
/Sniff…/
'Out of nowhere, Haruhime started to cry, it wasn't tears of joy, it was tears of sadness.'
"..."
'Silver understood that the reason for this was rather complex, so he only went to her and patted her head, saying:'
"Are you afraid of the repercussions of this event? That something serious is going to happen to me?" He asked as he caressed her head
'Feeling the warmth she hadn't felt in years made Haruhime calm down a bit.'
"I… Please no… Leave me behind… I… Do not wish to…"
'But Silver interrupted her.'
"Take it as my selfish desires then…"
"The Ishtar Familia crossed me first, one way or another, it would've ended like this, remember the story of King Arthur? And how was he destined to fight from the moment he grabbed that sword?
'Haruhime nodded.'
"We could say that I destined to fight them, be it by my will or not, this is how unfair this world can be… So why not go a bit further and save someone in need?"
'He did not stop talking as he said:'
"Haruhime… Why don't we do this a bit differently?..."
'Silver took a step backward and looked at her as he gave her his hand.'
"I can give you the strength needed to be free in this world, so why don't you help me in achieving my dreams as well? Together, there is nothing the Ishtar Familia can do."
"I may be inexperienced, and I may not be the Hero you expected, but at least, I am here for you."
'Haruhime grabbed her dress as she cried silent tears, she eventually grabbed his hand and said:'
"Please, give me the strength to be free!"
'Under the sun, the path of a Human who dreams of adventuring and the path of a young Renard girl who dreams of freedom, finally crossed.'
…
(And so they lived ever happily, the end...)
