Sadistic Player In A Fantasy Game World

The Beginning of the End (3)

[Contact was lost with the Rediver base shortly after their first transmission. Five days later Enicta Region officials completed their fourth tower floor and reported the same occurrence.

However just an hour after the barrier was lifted, a small army of unidentified creatures attacked their town. Soldiers reported that they had a likeness to elves from science fiction, up till this point such claims are yet to be confirmed.

Three days later, Enicta forces were wiped out.

Yesterday, new President Roi Stoll and General Ortega Armires defeated the Slendren Region Tower, releasing the barrier over their region.

No elven army was reported, however on patrol, small settlements of semi-intelligent goblins have been discovered on the outskirts.

It is unknown when the Enicta Region will be attacked, however all soldiers are to complete their towers and move towards the Enicta Region to add to the defense.

All events of significant importance must be reported immediately.] read the last part of the file.

Ria looked at the paper as if she could not believe the words written on it.

'Two Regions were wiped out in a mere five days?' she thought, the absurdity of it all causing her eyes to widen in disbelief.

"Sister Eleanor, Bishop Armin calls for you," said a clergyman wearing white robes to a short girl dressed in a sister's habits. (The attire that roman catholic nun's wear,)

"What does that eyesore want this time," complained Eleanour as she marched towards the bishop's quarters.

As she marched down the compound hallways, people wearing white robes would stop to greet her.

Others were kneeling in the grass at the center of the compound, giving devotions and prayer. The living standards within the church compound seemed to have maintained their standard, the walls looked clean and everyone looked fed.

Despite all this Eleanour looked at everyone with disdain.

'Just you wait till they start sending you out to war,' she thought with a crooked smile on her face.

"Sister Eleanour," mused a skinny man wearing a bishop's attire.

"What do you want Armin?" asked Eleanour, clearly annoyed.

Armin fixed his glasses, looking at Eleanour with a sort of lustful look, as if he would eat her at any second.

'This guy is seriously a creep,'

"We'll be assisting the Riot Guild in completion of the fourth floor. It seems the fated time is nearly upon us," said Armin finally, after silence had filled the room for nearly a minute.

"The Riot Guild? Why do we have to help those losers?" asked Elenour, her tone impatient.

"I still wonder how someone as crude as you was chosen to be a sister."

"The Oracle hs spoken, his clairvoyance hasn't been wrong until this point," replied Armin, still looking at Eleanour with a lustful gaze.

"Yeah whatever. What about HQ? What are their plans on transporting all of us to the new Vatican?"

"All of us? Only a few chosen will actually get there. The others shall die as martyrs, sacrificing their life for the greater good," mused Armin.

"You're a wolf in sheep's clothing," snorted Eleanour before walking towards the door to leave.

"Oh, wait. The Oracle also said that two white-haired demons and a black beast will help us in this raid."

"We are to kill them right after, they pose a serious threat to the security of the Vatican. Of course, the Oracle has always been an overly cautious old man, but it wouldn't hurt to follow his orders," continued Armin,

'White-haired demons?' thought Eleanour as she walked through the door. An image of Tesse appeared in her mind, however she couldn't recall seeing any other white-haired people in Beniza.

"The church just called," announced Silas as Judith, Sophia, and Andre sat on the couches beside the phone he was at.

"They say they wish to help us clear the fourth floor," continued Silas.

"Pfft, so they can steal our rewards? Tell them we decline," replied Judith quickly, a look of disdain on her face.

Andre remained quiet, turning to Silas to see what his opinion on the matter was.

"W-Well, however way you look at this. It's kind of suspicious, Sophia tells us we can't complete the fourth floor in our current state and the church suddenly calls to offer their help," said Silas, a thoughtful look on his eyes.

"I think we should decline as well. Something is off," continued Silas, taking a seat next to Sophia.

Sophia looked to be in a considerably better state than she was yesterday. She wore a blue dress, and her hair was tied in a neat tress behind her.

She looked to be 15, however she sat with a sort of authority that could only be matched by Andre.

"Brother I think we should accept their proposal. Based on what Judith reported last time, they have a considerably powerful summon that could help us in the raid," she said, an intelligent gleam in her eyes as she spoke.

"Whether or not they're scheming something isn't a problem. The tower is in our area, we can set up a defense party to wait outside the tower in case things get dicey. Right now, we need as much help as we can get, and the church seems to be the closest thing, to a neutral party within the region," continued Sophia, looking to Andre for a final say.

"Indeed you have a point. However will the church's help be enough?" asked Andre, his expression stoic as he looked to his little sister for an answer.

"N-No, even if the church had three of those summons that Judith described. It wouldn't be enough," replied Sophia.

"The Quincy Guild Captain has 2 more summons. Perhaps that will be enough?" added Judith.

"The Quincy Guild Captain is currently injured. He's said to have faced a particularly strong goblin," replied Sophia.

"Pfft I think he's just weak," snorted Silas in reply.

"What of the first floor clearer? They say that his fighting capabilities were the highest back when the second floor was unchartered territory," added Sophia.

"You actually believe that nonsense? They say he was the reason for clearing the first floor, yet he hasn't shown up since. It was probably some lame attempt by the government to gain attention" replied Silas, passing it off as a mere rumor.
