Chapter 155: Pareth: 155% ?

Back in the civilized world, Sofia had checked the time and found out that she still had more than a week before the meetup time with Alith. There were a few things to do before which she could get out of the way, like finding Zerei some clothes. It was not that demons had to worry about being naked, but it could be problematic if she just strolled outside looking like Well, like a demon.

Unsure what to do, she thought she could ask Valeure for help, as she was the higher authority in the city. The Saintess wasnt there; she had left a bit after Sofia had and still hadnt returned. But Sofia still got to meet with a High-priest at the Wind temple. She had explained that as long as someone didnt steer trouble or inconvenience the population, they could as well be a Goblin, and nobody in the city would care. Officially at least. So even the Apostles were fine, but it was better if they hid their appearance. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise but not unexpected. Sofia had seen a lot of different non-human people out on the streets of Hooasow, at one point even a tall lady elf carrying a bunch of swords, but no Demons yet.

Toward the end of their short discussion, the High-priestess even assured her that the Saint alliance included Apostles in their ranks. After all, Apostles had to pass the Saint trials.

With that taken care of, Sofia also stopped by the local Vasperian Embassy to see if there were news from Astelia, and there was. It was a simple letter dated three days back.

To Sofia A.

Hi! I have some quick news for you!

Congratulations on your new citizenship; you could have asked to be a citizen of Vasperia, you know. Im sure you would have had no trouble making friends here with your abilities.

Anyway, I keep getting visions from Moon, which pesters me to go through my trial as soon as possible. I dont know why. But since you're progressing fast, I would like to go with you when you go, if you dont mind. If you agree, just send me a letter saying when and where you want to meet, and Ill be there soon after. Please dont feel rushed, though; I am not actually very eager to go. Leveling up now will only slow my growth further

Also, you may want to know that Uncle Cardinal is investigating the strange happenings in Skyreach, something about a spreading curse. You will need to contact him yourself if you want to know more. You can send him a letter like you would for me.

Lastly, our Saintess still has not shown any signs of life. I will keep you informed if that changes.

I hope you liked my small gift last time, dont use them when there are other Vampires around. You can keep the ring. Take care, friend,

Astelia Glacier, Duke of Brehmin

How do you usually fight, yes?

I either explode things in one hit from a distance, actually explosions. Or let Pareth and the skeletons handle close combat.

You have more skeletons? Zerei asked as she had never seen or heard of the book.

Yes, theyre just not permanent. Some of them also take less damage when lit by the sun.

Oh, interesting, yes, that will be strong in some parts of the next trial. But for now Do the explosion from a distance, and I will go in after. You can do what you want, but I would like to fight the Alpha alone. Also, the skeletons can get close, but it could be dangerous for you, so stay at least five hundred meters away; some of my curses dont make the difference between enemies and allies, I think

Thats fine. Are you sure you can handle the Alpha? He could be above three hundred.

Not sure, no. But I wont die, Zerei finished, taking off her clothes.

She doesnt want to damage them. I guess I did go around naked, too, as a Demon. Not like a Demon needs clothes with all the big scales, and in her case, the feather-shaped things.

It was still day, so Sofia started by summoning the twenty-five paladins and spreading them around the ogre tribe in five groups. They would be here primarily to bait the females and the Alphas sons away from the Alpha. That would give plenty of space for Zerei to fight. Of course, Sofia made sure to be sure to remind Zerei that she needed the Alpha's skeleton intact.

With their battle plan ready, Sofia started to channel two bolts.

Zerei watched aghast as the attacks formed and then exploded into the Ogre tribe, even forgetting that she was meant to start fighting then. Instead, she felt compelled to comment while watching the ensuing chaos.

You werent joking about the explosions, no no no no no How- How many times can you do that exactly?nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
