Chapter 98 Not A Pew Pew!

The bones were pulverized, and the Undead Riftwalker was defeated, but I was left with a sour taste in my mouth. The cost to do this was significant but not permanent, so I had to look at the positives of things.

I didn't know Tallia any better than she knew me, other than that feeling of knowing we were connected. There was also the intense feeling of love that I felt for her, but I knew that would be one-sided now.

Tallia transformed back into her human form in my arms and looked up at me.

"You can put me down now. I have legs just like you, but that was interesting and unexpected," Tallia said, and I nodded.

"Yeah, I didn't really think that you were going to turn into a gun either!" I laughed as I looked around the blasted landscape.

"No, that was normal compared to me kissing you. That is not something that I would do," Tallia said, pressing her fingers to her lips.

"Want to try again?" I asked, hopefully.

"Do not press your luck, mortal. We have more pressing matters to deal with at the moment, do we not?" Tallia asked me, and the mortal stung.

Whatever, this was the mountain that I had to climb, so be it. There was no rush right now, and Tallia was right; there were much more pressing things that we needed to deal with.

"Sure, speaking of which, we should get back to the wall and see if my delivery is here. I would like to set one up and fire it to test it. If the cannons work, then we will line the walls with them," I explained, but Tallia shrugged.

"I am the second most powerful of the Goddesses. You shouldn't need more than my power," Tallia said, crossing her arms, and I borrowed my eyes.

"You know that the real Riftwaker is going to be much bigger than this little one, right? Your PEW is too much pew pew and not enough boom! We need heavy firepower for this. You are better for smaller ranged targets," I explained.

"What did you just call me?! A PEW?!" Tallia exclaimed.

"You are a Positive Energy Weapon. You a pew pew," I teased, and Tallia grabbed me by my shirt, lifting me off the ground.

"I am a divine Goddess of radiant beauty! Not your pew pew!" Tallia snapped, shaking me.

"Don't be so rough with me, babe! I was just in an intense battle! Shouldn't you be rubbing my feet?" I asked and got tossed into the air.

"See you on the wall!" I shouted back as golden wings burst from my back, and Wing Magic propelled me forward.

"You are so infuriating!" Tallia screamed up at me, but I was already long out of range.

"Man, this woman is a spicy meatball! Ahhh!" I said as I flew but screamed as Tallia stepped out of thin air and wrapped her arm around my neck.

"I was not finished talking with you!" Tallia roared as she pulled us both to the ground, so I grabbed her nipples and twisted.

"That only makes one of us!" I shouted as Tallia's grip broke, and I kicked off her, blasting off again.

The damn woman is making a fight out of this! I just want to go and do what I need to do!

I shot at the wall where I could see Breya, Listenia, a red Dragon, and a golden Dwarf. I landed quickly and then whirled around to look for Tallia, but I was too slow.

"You are a slippery one, but you will not get away from me!" Tallia roared as she grabbed me from behind.

"Are you four just going to watch this?! Get this beast off me!" I complained as I wrestled to break from her rear grip.

"What are we supposed to do against her? Tallia isn't called the second strongest for nothing. What did you do to piss her off? I thought that she liked you?" Listenia asked as she watched us with unrestrained curiosity.

"I liked this mut of a woman? Did I hit my head, or did she cast a spell on me?!" Tallia demanded but was pushed off me by my wings, bursting from my back.

I jumped and spun around to put my hands up, casting rope spells to quickly bind Tallia. Then I used a spell to toss her off the edge, all while cursing me and telling me I would regret the first day that I drew breath.

The rest of the girls just stared at me with open mouths and shocked looks.

I just waved them off and turned to the pile of metal, gunpowder, and salt.

"She will be fine. I just need to get this thing built before she gets back up here!" I laughed and skipped over to the piles.

Something about this almost felt normal, and maybe things hadn't always been so smooth between us. Still, this aggressiveness was fun, as long as it didn't get me killed.

"What is wrong with you?!" Cherry, the red Dragon, asked me.

"A great number of things, but I don't have time to explain it all," I said as I bit my finger and slapped it down on the ground in front of the piles of material. "Breya, please block whatever that crazy Goddess tries to throw at me. She shouldn't be trying to kill me, I don't think."

"What?! You want me to get between you and Tallia? Why is she acting like this all of a sudden?!" Breya exclaimed as she and the rest of the girls came over to me.

"She no longer remembers who I am other than the person that was reborn here. That was the only way that I could get her help," I explained as a magical circle snapped around the material in front of me.

"This is the Tallia I know," The cute golden Dwarf said, and I turned my head to her.

"Really? This is how she normally is? Stuck up and entitled?" I asked, and the Dwarf nodded.
