Terrarian Chapter 120 (Patreon)

I would like to say that the rest of the way to the mainland was peaceful... But that wasn't the case. Even though I did not use magic to make the ship go faster. Two more sea monsters still visited us.

Though just like the previous one, they inherently weren't too durable, so I was able to kill them or force them to retreat without them destroying our boat.

But either way, the tense yet utterly boring ride across the ocean was finally over as the Kinkou ninja's surprisingly led us directly to the city I wanted to cause some issues for.

"Damn, that is a Noxian city without a doubt." I muttered as the port city was surrounded by massive walls and likewise had a hard, iron, and stone color scheme.

Dark raw iron molded to enhance the massive stone walls filled our gaze and the Noxian motto of strength being the most important was all to clear to our gazes.

Still, as we sailed up to the city, I said thoughtfully. "So, Akali, this is where we separate when we start causing issues right?" 

And the assassin who actually came out of the shadows at the sight of the city nodded with her saying calmly. "Correct. I would appreciate you making as much noise as possible. Do not worry about my men though, we excel in hiding in the shadows and will cut out their heels and hurt Noxus's supply chains.":

I shrugged and said rather blandly. "I was going to summon a bunch of monsters and then burn down Darius and Draven's houses. But alright, you do want you want."

I would have liked to have become Akali's friend. Maybe even more 'winky face,' but Akali was an assassin above all else. And it was really hard to flirt with a girl who regularly hid inside dirty laundry hampers to spy on you.

That and... Why would I flirt with Akali when I could and was flirting with Ahri, who was much more receptive? And not an assassin who may stab me in my sleep if I whisper some nonsense in my sleep?

Ahri, who was leaning partially on the railing of the ship, then gave me a meaningful smile as she said. "Go ahead and get that angry spirit from her cave. We can't just leave her on the ship after all."

And I knew exactly who she meant.

So I nodded and with a wry smile I said. "Alright, if I die to a hundred magical feathers, please put on my tombstone that I died by the hands of a beautiful woman at least."

Which led to both Akali and Ahri snorting at my words as they knew that Xayah... Might very well throw a few of her deadly, enchanted feathers from her wing. For the dire crime of waking her up.

I went down into the ship and past the other rooms, steadfastly ignoring the Kinkou ninja's hiding in every shadow they could and I made it to Xayah's private room. The one room the ninja's were keeping out after Xayah almost killed a ninja for trying to enter.

I knocked on the door and then hearing no answer I took out my Eye of Chuthulu shield and held it in front of me while hunching over so it covered my entire body before I pushed open the door.

"Xayah, we are the city of Noctulis. It's time to kill Noxians and then get onto the mainland!" I called out.

There was a heavy silence before a sigh rang out and Xayah's dull voice rang out. "I am not a child you need to cajole. Give me a moment to get dressed, I will be out in a couple of minutes."

Knowing that Xayah although the type to sleep through her depression. She wasn't going to just lie down and be an issue. I gave her the space she wanted and just headed back.

Though on the inside, I was surprised that she didn't attack me at all?

I got back up to the deck of the ship, and by now the port section of the city was a good bit closer allowing us to see the thousands of people working in this important coastal city to Noxus.

As this city was the city that allowed the Noxian navy, which itself wasn't that strong. To go invade Ionia, and send raiding parties to other nations like Shurima, Zaun, and the jungles of Ixtal.

Soon enough, Xayah, now dressed in black robes instead of the red she used to wear came up to the surface, and I could see the hate in her eyes at laying eyes on the Noxian city.

And once we, the four champion-tier beings who would be leading this raid, came together properly, Ahri said calmly. "So Jake, beyond just causing mass destruction and loss of human lives. Do you have any other goals?" 

To which I just paused and then shook my head before I said bluntly. "Nope, I am going to level the city that way the invading Noxian army has to come back to secure their supply line. I can't cut off their supply lines with how brutal and calculating Noxus is. Without leveling this entire city after all."

And I had the best 'tool' in order to destroy a city without getting heavily involved myself. I could just summon a dozen 'Eater of Worlds'.

"I will be summoning alot of monsters which will be causing alot of havoc. Akali, make sure your ninjas know that these monsters can track people by vibrations and hiding in the shadows won't help." I said firmly.

Akali nodded coolly as she knew that the more trouble and damage we did the better. The loss of civilian lives in this war against Noxus with how they were constantly invading Ionia to strip mine all of it's resources, meant that no mercy could be given.

Meanwhile, Xayah and Ahri, both being more on the spiritual side of things fucking hated Noxus for strip mining the natural magic of Ionia to feed Noxus's never ending war machine.

"Hmm, we will keep it in mind." Akali said clearly confident in her assassin's methods to protect themselves. And that was that.

I wasn't going to handhold her small army of assassins either. They weren't my people, and I knew that being a world-jumping murder hobo of an adventurer, I couldn't get so attached to people.

Especially... When my growth required me to seek greater and greater challenges.

Our ship quickly came into the port, with a large spiked plank being thrown onto our side to allow the Noxian officials to come aboard our ship.

"Alright! I see thirty-seven tourists, and that equals five hundred and thirty gold coins. Pay up in coinage or Noxian approval bank notes." The fat offical spoke without even looking up from the scroll he was writing our ships information on.

There was a pause before I said calmly. "There is... Literally no cargo, and only four people on this ship as you can see. Are you sure that's what you want to say?"

The fat man looked up with a look of disdain, but then his eye's went wide as a soft and wet splutter rang out from him as Xayah casually stepped forward and drew one of her razor-sharp feathers across his neck.

"We are here to kill people, Jake... Not talk to them. Let's get to work." Xayah said coldly before she swung her wing arm to the side, which sent dozens of flowing feather's into the distance and then with a crackle of power, those dozens of feathers exploded like powerful hand grenades.

I then sighed and said helplessly. "We will meet outside of the city in an hour, south of the city at the peak of that large mountain in the distance." I called out louder at the end as Ahri and Xayah ran off.

As both of them, I had already told a good deal about the monsters I could summon. And thus knew they needed to get space from me and the mess that was going to happen soon.
