Scarblade Goddess 11 Chapter 10

"I guess...this is the floating nature world...Amakiel?".

Ira said. Their eyes noticed that the land they were stepping-on was lush in mystical nature. The trees were in oriental spring, as they were dyed in pink cherry blossoms and some of the plants were natural green. In turn, the whole place was blending in serenity and calmness of the natural winds, coursing through the flowing petals. Sooner or later, someone with a very low husky voice of a male spoke to Otorine and company, as he was above,

"It seems you are all eager to see me.".

They looked up to where the voice was coming from. Thereon, they had seen Exceediel in all his glory.

Exceediel looked-like he was a half-angel and a half-elf, as he had a 7-p.r.o.nged golden s.h.i.+ning wings of divine brilliance arching from his back and his ears were pointed. His looks were somehow he was in the range of 24s-28s. More than that, his height was 6' 4", same as Na.s.sus. Exceediel's skin was glistening white. His long luscious hair that was always on a shampoo was all-natural golden blonde. His peridot green eyes of a cunning lion looked intimidating yet, approachable. His narrow nose and masculine profile was all too well combined to match a lady's taste for adult men. Not only that, his body was toned very nicely, as his six pack abs were visible since his Fallen uniform looked rugged and revealing on his torso. His shoulders were broad, even though he's not that muscular than the other males. For some reason, his sleek and long legs were wearing, black pants with primal or tribal marks that looked unscathed, proving his extreme form on his two opposing looks of his lower and upper clothes. His notable accesories are his golden shoulder bangles and a black cape on his neck. In total, he looked-like a rugged ruler who is into extreme luxuries yet, has an unusual sense of fas.h.i.+on and design.

Since Ira doesn't want to be feel insulted by the Exceediel full of himself, she replied to him with added taunt,

"Hah! I guess you're eager to go back to your cage huh?".

As for Otorine, she didn't let any second count, as she had dashed straight to Exceediel above. Then, she tried to slice him into smithereens with her trusty fanblades, although she just pa.s.sed straight through, like he was a ghost or something. In turn, she says with utter disturbance,

"Tsk...It's just an illusion.".

Afterwards, she returned to the ground in-between Ira and Yumine's zone. There after, Exceediel laughed as hard as he could, reaching from the top of his lungs,

"HAHAHAHAHA! You'd think I'd be dumb enough just to show myself and get myself caught?".

Ira replies looking very uninterested, while she was proving something,

"Well yeah...since you came in front of us BEAUTIFUL G.o.dDESSES already.".

He didn't care for Ira's ramblings, instead he was more or less intrigued of Ira's presence, turning him to hold his chin with an interesting look,

"Oh? I never thought they'd let a DISTORTED G.o.dDESS BREAK FREE.".

He facepalmed, as he could not believe what his eyes had ever seen,

"I guess Celestia heavens must be lacking STRONG HEROES now, since they resorted to CORRUPTED G.o.dDESSES instead.".

Ira points out,

"F.Y.I. ...I'm not yet a LEGIT DISTORTED G.o.dDESS. Those are just rumors.".

Though, Otorine and Yumine looked doubtful of Ira's contradiction, turning the both of them to be in their seedy thoughts,

"Yeah right...rumors...".

More or less, Exceediel looked convinced of Ira's statement for some unusual reason, or he just doesn't want to prolong the long topic any longer. He had stopped doing his gesture and nodded later on,

"I see I see. By the way, why don't I let you three have a little tour on my, NEW WORLD!".

Then, he let out his arms freely and his wings flas.h.i.+ng in radiant sparkles aided with a haughty grin, proving something mighty to the three G.o.ddesses. Though, the three of them just shunned their eyes, since they could get blind from his golden wings. Exceediel noticed that the three G.o.ddesses had shunned their eyes, making him to stop being overexcited, turning his golden wings to stop s.h.i.+ning its utter glory. Later, he said to them with a complacent tone, like he was inviting them,

"Ahem...I'm sure you'll be fascinated on what I've done. Don't worry, you'll see me soon enough my beautiful G.o.dDESSES.".

Afterwards, Exceediel's illusion had vanished into the fray. Ira, Yumine and Otorine just sighed with long faces, as they were somehow annoyed of Exceediel's half-a*sed entry.

"Hey girls! Check that out!",

as Yumine said like she was an energetic playmate to the two, while she was pointing above. There, they saw the huge green arrow pointing to the left, above their heads. The arrow looked-like what you'd see in any video game that acts as a quest location or the next place where to do a certain mission. Then, Yumine said,

"I guess we need to do as he says...if we ever wanted to see him.".

Though, she was also kinda depressed in her thoughts,

"And there'll be no sightseeing for us...What a killjoy...".

The three of them revealed their own brand of divine wings. Thereon, they flew and followed the several arrows pointing to a certain destination. As they were flying across the skies, they noticed beyond the visible clouds below, they had witnessed that there was a ray of sunlight coming from below. In turn, Yumine expresses her words filled with uncertainty,

"That must be their central sun. It's quite rare to see since most worlds have their suns that are very far from them.".

Ira comments on Yumine's statement,

"Better not to fall in there or else we'll be toast. And I'm not interested of RESp.a.w.nING again for 100 years, if you ever die from a direct contact with a SUN, as said in Celestia heavens handbook!".

It seemed, while the G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses are immortal, they can still die and fall into deep slumber. Though, they won't truly die but, they'll just resurrect after a few intervals, which is quite similar to a ma.s.sive multiplayer online role playing game's hero resp.a.w.ning system. Yumine agrees with Ira,

"Yeah...and who the heck thought it's a good idea to make a world under a frickin' sun?".

As they continued to follow the arrows, they were now seeing the strange-looking but, beautiful birds with flexible translucent gla.s.s wings that were soaring through the skies. Some of the birds were even gliding from island to island. It was such a sight to behold, as it seemed that the blue sky was somehow filled with sparkling fragments above the skies. In turn Otorine was astunned by those magnificent birds,

"Pretty...".

Soon, they were still flying along the vast sky sea. They had noticed with their bird's eye view that the floating islands had tribal factions of people. They were flying with their gliders, as they were roaming around their island's territory in search of potential food flying through the skies. For some reason, when the tribal people noticed the three G.o.ddesses, they weren't shocked to see females with wings, since some of their people had wings, soaring through the higher skies. A little while later, they had arrived and landed at a simple looking village, since that's where the arrows were pointing at.

There were connecting treehouses along the branches of the humongous mother tree that would even reach the highest mesospheres, instead of the usual houses laid upon the ground.

"This is unusual?".

As Yumine said, since she was stranged over the sophisticated yet unique form of the treehouse village. They hid back their wings and walked along the wooden bridges. The strange thing they've noticed at first was that the elven people with white wings were wors.h.i.+pping and bowing to a floating white marble statue of Exccediel in stone. In turn, Ira says like she was unimpressed,

"As expected, he already created his own RELIGION and let the Amakiel elves to wors.h.i.+p him.".

Though, they were even more disturbed, as how the Exceediel's statue in action when they looked at it closer. It looked-like Exceediel was some kind of rockstar with an electic guitar, dabbing like no tomorrow. No matter how much you look at it, it's somehow unG.o.dly in a mystical environment and it's society to wors.h.i.+p a silly looking monument from a modern age of sheer wildness. Thereon, Yumine said like she was horrified within her disturbed look,

"I think I need to bleach my eyes...".

Thereupon, Otorine made her own judgement,

"We really need to take him down fast. Or else this'll become worse as it is.".

Afterwards, a young teenage elven blonde girl went to the three of them and she welcomed them, by bowing at first,

"Welcome...you must be the travellers that lord EXCEED has told us. Please do follow me.".

Without any second thought, they just followed the girl with cute little wings on her back. Then, the teenage girl acted as their guide, while she was telling information about their treehouse village. For some reason, Ira, Yumine and Otorine were noticing that the villagers were wearing smiles on their faces. Not only that, they were hearing the praiseworthy deeds that Exceediel had done for them. In turn, Ira justifies her answer,

"I must say...he's kinda not bad for a G.o.d here.".

The little girl turned to look at them and responded to Ira's statement,

"Oh! fa...I mean lord EXCEED has pretty much done a lot for us. As well as for our G.o.dde...I mean for my mom as well.".

Then, they continued to walk along the hanging bridges ascending to the highest area of the mother tree. Suddenly, Yumine went close to Otorine's ear and she whispered,

"Don't you think...her stutters before were kinda strange?".

"I agree.",

Otorine replied. As they had reached the end of the bridge, the teenage girl bowed to them and left the place. They also noticed that there were b.u.t.terflies glittering in gold. They were fluttering and swarming around in great numbers. The G.o.ddesses entered the hollow walls of the world tree. Though, the place looked s.p.a.cious and huge on the inside compared to the outside. The floor had a mat made of white woven silk. Moreover, the place was decorated by natural vines and vivid flowers of white and gold. They saw that Exceediel was sitting next to the altar-like golden table and he waved his hand to them,

"Yo!".

Though, Otorine's response to him was a quick ambush attack with her sharp fanblades. Somehow, her attack didn't even reach him, since there was a golden magical wall protecting Exceediel from his utter decimation. Otorine was flabbergasted,

"What the? WHY ARE YOU PROTECTED BY A DIVINE BARRIER?! HAVE YOU TAKEN DOWN THE G.o.dDESS OF THIS WORLD ALREADY?!".

Exceediel replies to Otorine like he was an annoying smooth-talker,

"Settle down sweet cheeks. I didn't take down the G.o.ddess of this world or should I say my long lost wife.".

He took a golden chalice and drank the wine placed on his altar. The way he was drinking it wasn't filled with finesse, as the wine was leaking from his mouth as he kept on drinking from the chalice. The G.o.ddesses just rolled their eyes, as they disliked how Exceediel drinks. There after, he told them more,

"Let's just say, we had an agreement, that's why she made me have this convenient divine barrier. And I can't tell you more than that...".

Then, he pointed out,

"BUT, she said she'll lift this barrier if ever the TRAVELLERS did her request."

Yumine was looking tired of hearing Exceediel's statements, so she just asked immediately,

"So...what's her request?".

Exceediel replies,

"Her request is...".

He shut his eyes and paused for a few moments, turning the atmosphere to become unnerving. The intriguing pause made the air to be filled with tensions, that even struck Otorine, Ira and Yumine to be nervous even. The next moment, Exceediel opened his alarming eyes and exclaimed,

"TO STRIP IN FRONT OF THE GREAT G.o.d EXCEEDIEL!".

The three G.o.ddesses were silent but, their looks on their faces looked very much uninterested. The air even wooshed like the place was a barren wasteland, as he let out a straightforward perverted statement to the highly G.o.ddesses. It seemed to them that Exceediel was joking around or he's just thirsty and desperate to satisfy his manly desires. Even Yumine wasn't even interested to please him, even though she's such a thirsty and l.u.s.tful woman. In turn, she says in her thoughts,

"If he was my type, I'd strip for him any day...".

There after, Yumine sighed. She brought out her smartphone and she said to him with a bored look, as if she was trying to taunt him indirectly,

"Uh huh...Is that so...well I guess we need to talk to her then. That her HUSBAND is CHEATING again.".

She dialed her phone. Suddenly, they heard a constant ring from Exceediel, turning Ira and Otorine to be widely shocked, while Yumine was busy waiting for someone to pick it up and didn't notice a da*n thing. It's as if they wouldn't expect that to happen, since a smartphone is the prime owners.h.i.+p of a G.o.d or G.o.ddess. Exceediel masked a sinister smile to both of the shocked G.o.ddesses. Then, he brought the ringing phone and answered the call,

"Yes h.e.l.lo? This is the G.o.d of the Amakiel world...so are you gonna strip now?".

Yumine hanged-up on her phone, as she heard Exceediel's straightforward request without any ounce of shame. Soon after, Exceediel put back the smartphone and drank a water from a silver chalice this time. In a split of a second, Otorine lost her composure. She struck lots of furies and swings unto Exceediel. Sadly, her attempts unto him was all for naught, as his impervious divine barrier protected him. In turn, she just expresses her boiling rage unto him,

"GET OUT OF THERE AND FIGHT US YOU COWARD!".

For some reason, Exceediel wasn't scared of Otorine's terrifying glare, instead he was just laughing his a** off. Then, he had stopped kidding around and told her, while he was proving hand gestures,

"Okay okay I'm just kiddin' ya know. I'll be serious now so, her real request is...".

He paused for a few moments giving intrigue into the air once again. Then he told them with an interesting smile,

"To find a pink and s.h.i.+mmering glowing herb in the night of the sky sea that only reveals itself in the crusing beast of midnight.".

Ira responds to his request,

"And why do you think we should trust you nor do your bidding?".

Exceediel held his chin and he replied back, as he was truly serious on his words,

"I don't care if you don't trust me. Though, if you do, then I'll even bring myself back to the Fallens heavenly prison without a fight, in your hands and b.r.e.a.s.t.s ofcourse.".

The three G.o.ddesses just rubbed-off his uncouthed last statement and focused on the whole context of his statement. Yumine and Ira were still deciding on their thoughts, although Otorine had already made her decision,

"I see...then let's go Ira and Yumi.".

Though, Yumine just went with Otorine's decision,

"Well if that's what the leader said, then, we don't have much of a choice...".

As for Ira, she did agree with Otorine's statement, although there was added insult for the haughty and desperate Exceediel while she was looking at him straight in the eye,

"Yeah, I kinda agree. We won't get nowhere if we keep talking to this piece of sh*t.".

Afterwards, Exceediel flung a worn out scroll to Otorine. She caught it. Then, she and her band of friends left the place, without giving any sort of respect to Exceediel. Exceediel was left alone at his place once again. Sooner or later, he drank his wine once again. Soon, he had stopped drinking and exhaled, as he was relieved from drinking his healing vial. He recalled what Ira had said to him before they left,

"Piece of sh*t huh.".

He sighed and snapped his fingers above. The flicking sound echoed throughout the room. That sudden moment, a slumbering beautiful blonde woman had magically appeared lying down on his laps. She had an irregular one s.h.i.+ning silver wing that was arching from her back. She looked-like she was on her 25s. He caressed her head gently. His look upon her wasn't filled with maniacal interest. Rather, his eyes were filled with blissful happiness of the br.i.m.m.i.n.g sun, such as he had missed seeing her for quite a long time,

"Aily...my G.o.ddess.".
