Mia said, "Sir, this story doesn't make sense."
Licht said, "Why? It makes sense to me."
Mia said, "Sir, how come your mom was with you and fainted, and the nun is your mom? And what could the poor bandit possibly have done to make Mr. Jewel so mad?"
Licht said, "Oh, those. Well, the one with us was mommy, or my birth mother. If my mommy was a nun, how do you think I was born—through mitosis or something? And the nun is my dad's current wife. Basically, whenever I say mommy or mama, I refer to my birth mother, Lichita. But 'mom' is for dad's current wife. Get it? I love my moms equally. And the thing is, if my mommy didn't faint, well, let's just say she would be seeing what happened with God."
Mia said, "Pardon?"
Licht said, "She probably would have gotten a heart attack if she didn't faint. And the reason my dad was so mad at the bandit was, well, because he burned like what—3kg of wheat and 5kg of rice."
Mia said, "So he was angry on behalf of the farmers?"
Licht laughed and said, "Oh hell no. While punching him, he was literally screaming, 'You bastard! How dare you burn rice and wheat? Where the hell am I supposed to get my beer and sake (rice wine) from? Answer me, bastard! How the hell are they going to make my beer and rice wine? It is because of sick bastards like you I can't have sake for water, bastard!'"
Mia said, "I'm truly sorry, sir."
Licht said, "Why? Like I said, I'm happy, and I love my moms equally."
Mia said, "Both of them?"
Licht said, "What do you mean both of them? I have 4 of them."
Mia said, "Sorry, sir, what? How did they multiply?"
Licht said, "What do you mean multiply? It has always been four."
Mia said, "Wait, who are the other two?"
Licht said, "Oh that? It's Gelda and Aunt Lilith. I love all my moms equally. OK, maybe Aunt Lilith a bit less. But yeah, it's four. Since, you know, Gelda kinda raised me, trained me, and stuff. And Aunt Lilith was fun, I guess, before going blank or something."
Mia said, "If it's alright, may I ask what was the hero like before changing?"
Licht said, "Oh, you mean Aunt Lilith? How do I say it? Stupid, to put it bluntly. But great. During those days, Liebe felt like the adult. It was hilarious. If Liebe and I were planning to do something stupid, she was already well on her way to doing that."
Mia said, "It is unfortunate."
A few days later in the Abyssal Zone, as Liebe and Pride were training, Liebe received a shot, barely managing to dodge it on his leg.
Liebe said, "A shot out in the weapon? And it's magic weaponry—the beam. But no weapons. Where the hell was that shot from?" As he was being shot at from thin air.
Pride said, "Faust, what is this?"
Liebe said, "If I knew, I would have done something."
Liebe thought, Some kind of super long-range sniper? No, it's something else entirely. For now, I just have to dodge. The beams just form mid-air and from different points.
As Liebe was dodging, Pride was using his barriers to block or deflect.
Liebe said, "Pride, I have a plan. I need 5 seconds."
Pride said, "That can be achieved." As Pride used his barriers to protect Liebe from the attacks all around.
Liebe said, "Dark Magic: Grand Black—Prime Black!" As the rings formed and darkness engulfed all around. Liebe and Pride were still standing.
Pride said, "What was that spell?"
Liebe said, "Grand Black."
As the firing didn't stop, Liebe said, "Crap. My spell only harms those I consider my enemy. But if it didn't stop, meaning these things are nothing but holy relic extensions."
Pride said, "What now?"
As from the side, 3 people came and said, "Pride and Liebe Faust—what a view."
Pride said, "You two—you are Greed and Envy."
Envy said, "So glad you could recognize us."
Greed said, "Keep them busy. I have my work."
Pride said, "No!"
As Envy fought Pride, the 3rd person was a female with a bodysuit and mask. As Greed moved, Liebe tried to go after him, but the attacks stopped him.
The person said, "I cannot allow you to move."
Liebe said, "Is that so?" As he vanished into thin air. Liebe thought, Is she warping? No, can't be. The shots are far too consistent. Transparency, perhaps? Well, let's try again. "Dark Magic: Grand Black—Prime Black!" As the attack engulfed the area of a 50m radius, the girl reappeared.
Liebe said, "How? Why didn't my spell do anything?"
Envy said, "What's wrong? Is your darkness too weak, or is the range just too little?"
Liebe said, "Crap."
Pride said, "Barrier Magic: Imprison!" As he tried to trap Envy, Envy teleported away.
Envy said, "This isn't very fair."
Pride said, "Faust, we need to end this quick. We cannot allow Greed to reach the village."
Liebe said, "I can see that."
For a second, Liebe stopped dodging and said, "Dark Magic: Endless Execution!" As he raised his spatial awareness, he struck the points where the beams were generated.
The person said, "You can read my patterns?"
Liebe said, "No. I know each holy relic has its limits. And seeing yours, it might as well be a hybrid between Uncle Jewel and my teacher, Lady Mikhail. So what? You are the perfect assassin."
As from behind, Liebe was hit with a stronger attack.
Liebe said, "Damn it. Face me!"
Pride said, "I doubt that will work. A head-on clash is not ideal for an assassin."
Liebe said, "Fine. Dark Magic: Demonics!" As Liebe transformed into his demonic state and went directly to clash with the woman, yet each of his attacks were met with precision.
Liebe thought, Who is she? What is she? Why don't we know anything about her?
Pride said, "Envy, what are you doing? Why the hell are you doing this?"
Envy said, "Pride, you are no longer needed."
Pride said, "Did Yolm send you?"
Envy said, "The Empire has nothing to do with this. But the orders were something you can't say no to. Try looking a bit higher."
Pride said, "Was it Geno who sent you?"
Liebe said, "What? Mr. Geno sent them here? What does he have to do with anything?"
Envy said, "No. The person who sent me is someone you can't say no to."
Pride said, "No, it can't be. What does he want from here?"
Envy said, "What's wrong? Your attacks don't have anything left? Or is it that the truth hurts?"
Pride said, "Answer me, Envy!" As he began to push back Envy.
Envy said, "Apparently he is still salty about 1000 years ago. And the current Faust is a bit too close for his own good."
Liebe said, "What the hell did I do?"
Envy said, "Faust, you picked the wrong enemy. You can't challenge the world and expect to come out on top."
Liebe said, "What the hell?"
Envy said, "You did something that can't be taken back. You started it all again. Now either you awaken or you die. You are far too close to awakening it."
Liebe said, "What the hell?"
The girl said, "The awakening of Faust is the awakening of calamity. Faust is the enemy of God. The name Faust shall for eternity be linked with the crime of corrupting a god. Faust is the one who corrupted Freyja and Hestia."
Liebe said, "What the hell are you spewing?" As Liebe dodged, he noticed that the attacks—this lady, she isn't killing him on purpose, just stalling. But why? If she hates him this much—these shots, they could easily pierce him or any shield he makes. So why? If she hates him this much, why is she just stalling him?
The lady said, "You are a Faust, aren't you?"
Liebe said, "Yo, dumbass milf lady, if you can kill me, just kill me."
The lady said, "Faust, killing you is far too merciful. Your kind corrupted the world itself."
Liebe said, "Yeah, yeah, says the milf with big boobs herself."
The lady said, "A thousand—no, five thousand years ago, as the world was only in its infancy, Faust corrupted the world itself through the creation of L."
Liebe said, "Come on, granny milf, tell a better story."
As Liebe stopped moving, he saw nothing was hitting him—all warning shots. As Liebe just walked, the woman said, "Faust, you have discovered my curse."
Liebe said, "Well, it really wasn't that hard to find out." As he engaged in hand-to-hand combat, now Liebe was getting his ass handed to him.
Pride said, "Faust, are you alive?"
Liebe said, "Alive? This is better!"
Pride said, "Faust, are you enjoying this?"
Liebe said, "Hell yeah! I'm fighting a milf assassin in hand-to-hand combat, and I can't die. What more can I ask for?"
As from the sky, a huge bolt of lightning fell on the ground. It was Wrath.
Liebe said, "Wrath, what are you doing here?"
Wrath said, "Sorry I'm late. Mikill is a bit far away. Let me deal with this bitch and the young bastard. You two go in. The people need you."
As Wrath drew Mjolnir, Wrath said, "This is fun."
As Liebe and Pride went in, he saw the population was almost zero.
Liebe said, "Dark Magic: Vesta Grand Strike!" As the hit sent Greed flying back and injured him. Greed was on his knees.
Greed said, "You are too late. I have what I want." As he teleported away.
As outside, the lady said, "Hero of Mikill, why are you assisting Faust, the incarnation of darkness?"
Wrath said, "Oh me? Simple. That man is the true incarnation of Hvíldarráð."
The lady said, "Wrath, what are you after?"
Wrath said, "Oh me? I will be the one who engulfs the world in flames of war. But if you offer your boobs, I wouldn't mind."
As she starts firing, yet the thunder blocks them.
