Chapter 127: Same (1)

The power to match Zeus had manifested as a countermeasure against him.

Hunter understood that it was temporary and that he had to work more to keep it up for himself. That said, some of it still lingered within him and hadn't evaporated as of yet, so he quickly turned around and looked at his spirits and Celestia's battle.

When he was close to his peak, so were Nakisha and Brandi.

Their existence had somewhat backfired against Celestia, who was now troubled by them. Perhaps her plan was to include exalted spirits in her battle against demons, humans, or spirits, for they also no longer had any place in the Spirit World. Hypothetically, they were tethered with the same goal, so it wouldn't be odd for them to fight alongside Celestia at some point.

Should Hunter mellow them out with his personality, it was all but given.

Now, however, the wolf and sheep's sharpness and poisons were threatening her life. Celestia used wind and the power of the sun to ward off all dangers toward her, but the quality of Nakisha and Brandi's powers, along with their cleverness and experience, had allowed them to use some of that to get close to her side.

The order Hunter had given them was also to get her, not to kill. That said, they were fighting as though they wanted to kill Celestia. Otherwise, it would have been them running back to Hunter's side for aid. In a few minutes, all three gorgeous women were left with gaping wounds, marring their beauties.

Blood was trickling down from head to toe, finding new paths as it flowed down their figures and equipment, drenching the maid's clothes and Celestia's dress red. Sharpness stemming from Nakisha and Celestia's skills had torn their flesh, too, opening up their skin and flesh. Some bones could have been seen already.

Celestia had it worse as Brandi's poisons kept biting on her using those openings. In a few spots, her flesh seemed like the darkest bruise, looking much more horrifying than her foes. Said poison was hindering her movement so much that she began to regret her little plan to give Brandi to Hunter.

Peeking into Brandi's eyes, Celestia could see the unnatural obedience Brandi harbored toward her master, Hunter. She would do her best and more to fulfill his plan.

'Troublesome fellows,' Celestia whispered inwardly, taking a glance at the rest of the humans. Those guild leaders were terrified by the events that had occurred. It turned out that there was a man who could simply kill them with his presence alone and that the new rising star of their union—also a man—possessed the strength to defeat him.

They were now like spectators, but with Hunter's origins and potential and Celestia's background backfiring at her, it was obvious who they would choose to support if Celestia were to reveal the extent of her strength.

'There's a reason why females are called weaker gender in the rest of the world,' Celestia sighed. Even Hunter, who was enamored by her, had now changed and was on the same level as her. Well, calling it the same level was quite too much, but his different stance and potential, along with his feelings, had flared even Celestia's heart, who believed she would never ever feel affection, let alone love again.

Perhaps it was so much easier for women to fall that even Lucifer's curse reversing the entire world's system was not enough to go against nature.

"Fine," Celestia parted her lips, "Get me, you two."

Nakisha twisted her face, "Scheming bitch!" She didn't like how Celestia had raised the white flag. She must have already thought about the pros and cons of it and decided that it was best for her to surrender. That alone was fine since Nakisha would fulfill her order, but she had yet to go all out against her!

And she wanted to maul that bitch face so much more!

On the other hand, Brandi didn't even waste a second. Now that Celestia had exposed herself, her poisons extended toward her and seamlessly wrapped her in dense purple clouds, imprisoning her. Confirming that the woman was caught and unable to do anything, Brandi turned toward her master and flew toward him, ignoring Nakisha, who was still fuming.

It was Brandi who first caught up that her strength was weakening. The maid outfits were purposely keeping her strength at the same level as Hunter's, so it wasn't time to play around. Hunter probably wanted to seal Celestia within his world to solve the troublesome position he had found himself in.

At least, that was what Brandi believed when she snatched the picture of wary guild leaders and headmistress. Soon, she dropped before him and bowed.

"I'm back with Celestia, Master," Brandi loyally said.

It would have been such a charming sight to see her so loyal. She often bent over like this toward him, emphasizing her chest and cleavage, yet it was far from that as she was drenched in blood. Hunter still appreciated her efforts and smiled, thanking Brandi for her work.

As Nakisha appeared on his side, he thanked her as well.

"Celestia's origins are too much for anyone to handle. Given what I have shown right now, I can use my potential and the display of its might to keep things at the same level," Hunter said as he extended his hand toward the purple toxic prison. He put his hand on it and started sealing Celestia within his world.

Brandi nodded, pleased that she had seen through her master's goal.

She added, "This union has lost their guardian spirit, too. If we take that into account, they should do their best to keep you within their borders, at least for the time being."

"Right," Hunter nodded.

Before long, he found himself standing in front of the headmistress of the union. She had a row of guild leaders behind her, all ready to protect her. Hunter was flanked by his bloody maids, whose presence was suffocating even though their strength had fallen.

The same could be said about him. After sealing Celestia within his world, Hunter no longer had the same strength he had used against Zeus, so he was back to his usual peak.

Violetta beat Hunter to the punch and spoke first, "Ah, it's so nice to be free of the spirit's shackles!"

Everyone blinked with surprise, except for maid spirits whose eyes narrowed at the woman's comment.

Smiling at everyone, Violetta shrugged and explained, "I despise The World Order. That elven spirit was in cahoots with them and had a watch on me, you know? I'm sure every guild leader has already come to a conclusion about our world's power balance and that there are people keeping things as they stand. But I was nothing but clearly aware of them and hated how the spirits, who are supposed to be our friends and guardians, were keeping a leash on us. So many deaths could have been avoided..."

After this last sad statement, she curved her lips into a smile again and stretched her limbs out, letting out sweet moans of pleasure. She caressed her neck, too, as though showing that the collar was now gone. It took some time for other guild leaders to become so carefree, too, but their faces soon showed signs of comfort and easiness.

Hunter smiled, "Miss Headmistress, I'd like to stay at the Hunter Union. I'll pay rent for our apartment and keep doing missions, of course!"

"Aren't you like guild leader now that you have Celestia under you?" Violetta dropped a meaningful smile at him, "I used to have a good relationship with her despite her secrets. I want anyone without a secret to cast the first stone! ...see? Well, her secrets are too much for us to handle, and demons will try to use them again against us. That's why I believe it will be the best to disband Darkness Guild and have you work in the shadows."

"You still want to work with her?" Hunter asked, curious. n).o/-v(.E--l./b-)I-/n

"That I do," Violetta nodded, not bluntly saying that she wanted to keep Celestia and Hunter in her guild to protect everyone in her union. "There are people who hate this balance, too. With demons making more moves, they should finally decide who they want to side with. We can use that and your presence alongside Celestia's plan to convince them. I'm unaware of the details, but once you settle matters with Celestia, you two should be able to fill me in. I'll see who's willing to work with us against the World Order and its allies."

Hunter nodded.

That much was the best.

It was impossible to tell how much of it was just lip service, but Hunter was fine with this entire event ending this way. It'd give him enough time to gather information as well.

And with that, the domain soon started crumbling, the sign of it entirely dying. Everyone cautiously left the scene and then returned home.

Hunter was naturally met with Aimee and Seraphina's worried faces upon his return.
