Late merry Christmas and advance happy new year!!

___________________________________________

Looking up and looking down, there are so many predators blocking my path to business, sandworms swarming beneath the hot desert; flying sand vultures in the air and some scorpions waiting for their prey. Most of them are ‘Abnormal’ in oddity meaning they are tough but I easily avoided them through my [Air Dash]. While running, I mean air dashing, I notice several people near the ‘Sand Mobster’, what the hell are they doing in there? My brain started counting and I count 70 people circling the dangerous ‘Badass’ monster. As I use [Identify], it shows that they are elves but wild. Yes, they are the ‘Wild Elves’.

Usually this people, can be seen in the forest and they are wild because they are nomads and somewhat wild in fighting, they have a good affinity in magic but because of their wild nature, there fireball have mix with other chemicals like water or earth and they cannot control the explosion output either low or very high power. They are really wild. And because of their wildness, they challenged the Badass monster, which instantly kill all the wild elves on the spot there that has only average of level 102. Those poor idiots are so wild and so dumb to challenge it. What is their wild reason to challenge this dangerous mobster?

As I was above, standing in the air, almost all wild elves bodies were scattered and suck by the sand. the wild elves didn’t realize that they dig their own graves when their wild legs touch the sand which was within the range of the monster. Sigh, let’s proceed to claim this land as mine, I mean business. I know that I can easily beat this ‘Sand Mobster’ using [Chemical Magic] and [Force Magic] but it’s too boring to end the battle in 5 seconds so let’s have fun.

First, I throw my bladed foldable boomerangs, the two boomerangs spins and cuts its way through the air like the spinning blade of a helicopter in silent way. I made it to suppress any spinning sounds and due to application of nanotechnology, the blade of my toys is very and extremely sharp that even a 1 meter orachalcon will split into two like it just made of paper. This is possible because of nanotechnology, thank you nano.

The boomerang cuts the ‘Sand Mobster’, it has appearance of a sand slime, no feet or hands, but has an absurd deadly skills, the two boomerangs makes two holes in the body which like a slime and it spins back to return to my direction. But before it returns to my hand, the two boomerangs make and cut it way again in the Sand Mobster’s body after passing through. Well these are boomerangs we are talking about so it will return to its owner and at the same time, it can deal damage twice to the victim if the boomerangs hit the target during their ‘return’.

Perfect in dealing double damage to the standing enemy, but unexpectedly the ‘Sand Mobster’ jumps up towards me, it is really a Badass monster. Imagine a slime that moves swiftly like a ninja. But this situation is bad. This is bad, this is bad you know. As soon as my boomerangs hit its body, the Sand Mobster’s body stops moving and the sands started to drop and some finer sands are taking away by the strong winds. I perfectly capture my extremely sharp boomerangs in both of my hands while looking disappointed.

“Ah, how boring”

It’s because the boomerangs accidentally hits its core which is the weakness of these type of monsters, the core doesn’t stay in one place, it moves around its huge body to prevent attackers from harming it. But because of its sudden movement, the core was accidentally hit by my one of my ultra sharp boomerangs. How regrettable. I wanted to try different moves and I really want to test some of my toys. But it seems my toys are too sharp or too destructive in nature due to nanotechnology. Maybe I’ll try cutting the moon or the sun using my super sharp boomerangs? Nah, the people will cry especially the wolves, I need a live test subject, a tough one and a worst person, maybe I’ll make the Batia empire my enemy or any great or big nations? I know that they have great warriors, wait a minute how about the self-proclaimed gods? Hah, let’s forget about it, I will meet a tough test subject someday, a tough enemy. Let jut purchase this land and move on.

Thank you for your purchase.

Congratulations you are now the first and official owner of Shahara Desert.

Will you add some rules in this territory?

I choose yes and I apply some rules just like I add rules in my Novasphere, for now I add some anti-theft rules. I add some warning that ‘stealing here is dangerous’, if there are idiots who want to steal here which deemed impossible for a moment because the oil is in kilometers deep below ground. Regarding the monsters around the area, I leave it as is as to guard this place. Well they can do whatever they like here. Then I proceed westwards while I detected a huge group of people approximately 3.5 km, which was also my direction. Odd, why they are gathered in a small oasis? Let’s check it out.

My [Blend Presence] and [Air Dash], are both good for stealth and fast pace operations, now I see mostly two groups, one is the Batia Empire 4th and 5th Battalion Army and a thousand wild elves which was somewhat captured and some are already dead while others are fighting and rampaging for their pride and honor ignoring their own kind which are held hostages, they are really wild. What does Batia Empire doing here? For slaves? For money? For resources? Let’ s see.

It seems the situation is a lot worst because the monsters plus one Abnormal join their conflicts. The whole situation was in complete chaos. Even the wild elves are captured, some already break free and kill some Batia soldiers, it seems the ‘capture the elves’ situation turns into ‘get rid of monsters and kill the wild elves’.

I didn’t help the wild elves as the situation is in their favor and they have a face of thrill and excitement, those are the faces who don’t want help but rather people who wants some good action. They are really wild. Let’s investigate and watch the show from the sidelines.

Wild Elves VS Batia Empire-2 Battalions vs Monsters plus Abnormal

_______________________

“The wild elves are escaping and attacking our people!!”

“Send some knights to deal with them; we have to deal with this ‘Abnormal’ first”

“Yes sir!!”

The 4th Army Battalion commander is a handsome or a good looking blond man with a big body build formed through long combat and battle, the ladies will surely flock on to him. Riding a warhorse, he gives orders to his subordinates. They perform shield wall formation to fight the monsters together with the 5th Batallion while sending 500 knights to kill the wild elves who are in wild mode.

The shield formation protects all of them as it increases the group’s defenses, the more knights forming shield wall, the greater its defense. They successfully defended their position against scorpion and spider monsters attacks either physical or magical. I slightly respected the Batia Empire as it soldiers are well trained and properly equipped with Adamantium armors and weapons. Unlike the novels that I read that soldiers are just meat shields or cannon fodders and Adamantium is rare, but here they are well trained and well equipped. They also successfully defend and counterattack every monster’s attack, resulting only in few soldiers’ casualties, mostly are careless or weak, and the death of all dumb monsters that attacks eagerly.

The two commanders attentively giving out orders, it seems these two are brothers and twins as they have the same face but have difference in their body build. It seems they are quite satisfied with their battle against the monsters. The monsters’ current battle force is now fifteen from forty before. Even they are outnumbered, it needs two or more armies to beat these gigantic scorpions and spiders. But even then, they beat those giant monsters just using two battalions and only lose few casualties. For normal people, it’s a miracle and even a great feat, they will praise highly of those brilliant commanders. But for Joel’s standard, he will just use [Radbomb] and blow all those monsters making the battle end in just one or two seconds.

A large sound resounding at the back of the army, there the knights, who are assigned to interfere the wild elves, are now turned into pieces of meat while others dies due to high flames or freezing ice spells making their bodies or part of their bodies turned into ashes or into ice cold shattering limbs. The wild elves really live up to their wild nature, their fire or ice or any magic that they use are abnormal or it is just wild.

The two commandeers were furious seeing their people died miserably but they cannot leave their own posts as they need to kill the Abnormal monster which is a chimera, a part scorpion, and a part spider heading in their way. At their back are the wild elves rushing towards their direction attacking and killing mercilessly ignoring the fully plate armor of the army, they are just wild. Even the wild elves wears only clothes to cover their sensitive parts, they easily move and kill the full plate armor soldiers. They hit the parts which have no or less armor, I think they are impressive in discovering their enemies’ weakness, I respect that. Plus their wild sense of using magic, the full plate armor soldiers were easily killed.

Now, what does these two commandeers next move? Waiting to get sandwich by both sides?, fight until to their last breath? Or bring their balls between their legs back home? Regarding the wild elves, it seems they can use mass revival magic in exchange of one’s stamina, they are really wild and stubborn. So that's why there numbers never diminish as they can revive their falling comrades. How wild.

It seems the two commandeers don’t want to bring their own balls back home, they are utterly and mercilessly killed, or to be exact sandwiched by two forces. Some cowards or being wise starts to desert their formation and some of their comrades start to follow the deserter , breaking formations, that leads to the deaths of remaining loyal army. The two commandeers cannot escape their fates as the Abnormal chimera caught them and shove them inside its stomach, becoming their own graves.

After seeing that their commandeers were eaten, the people with no commandeers loses huge amount of moral, some cower in fear while running, others didn’t move just stare to the unexpected scene and other were enrage leading to their carelessness and deaths. After one hour of brutal sandwich, the Batia Empire 4th and 5th Battalion is now a history.

Unexpectedly, the Abnormal and other monsters didn’t attack the wild elves, after they fill their stomachs of the deceased or the corpses around, they started to move away from the scene. The wild elves started to loot and revive their loses. So that’s why they are so furious because they can use revival magic, what a wild plan. And as for the monsters not attacking them, is still a mystery to me, either the monsters are tired or scared, I don’t know, only them know the real reason.

------------------------end of battle-----------

Since the show is over, I hurriedly dash toward west to meet the High Humans. Along the way, various monster activities can be seen, eating, hunting, sleeping and pooping. Man, why I always see poop scenes here. After 1 hour of nonstop air dashing, I finally arrived at the entrance of the High Humans’ village.

Like any other human settlements describe in fantasy novels, the village is simple but sturdy. They built bungalow houses made of bricks and rocks and some of wood, the village is surrounded by wood and bricks fences and some houses have also fences. The area is close to a river which only takes 40 minute walk to reach it. It seems they invented watermills, to deliver water across their fields. There are simple shops or facilities here like blacksmith, tailor, barn and any simple facility that makes this village thrive and survive the 4 seasons. Unlike any simple village which was literally simple and low tech, this one is somewhat mixed of low tech and improve ideas. Overall, this village has a potential on becoming a self-sufficient city in the future. The numbers of villagers are 198. And some people here hide their true strengths.

Right now, I am surrounded by angry mob, I mean the villagers, while raising both of my hands in the air just like in movies where trespassers surrounded by police. Well, I was amazed by the sight of the simple but improve village, I disable my [Blend Presence] and I just unconsciously walk towards the center of the village. The angry mob, I mean the villagers hold their own weapons like swords and spears, some are stones, hey that’s quite a big stone madam, please put it down and others use their household tools like spoons, bucket and plate. Seriously, are all of you trying to kill me shamelessly?

Let’s talk and see if they can speak, I mean negotiable.

Joel: “Good afternoon, nice village”

Villager A: “Oh good afternoon, HEY! What the hell! Shut up, why should I greet you”

Villager B: “Why you here? Or you will get killed”

Joel: “At this moment, can you get the village chief for me?”

Villager C: “Ah right, Call the CHIEF!!”

Villager A: “Don’t ever, EVER, do a damn thing, this spear of mine can penetrate your bones”

Joel: “Oh, I’m scared, I swear I will not move here even you will move me, cross my heart”

After few minutes, the crowd increases. Most of them are mothers, fathers ad children, it seems this is there first time seeing a stranger or a visitor. After a while, an old man wearing simple clothes, comes forward to me. This must be the village chief.

“Oh, a stranger, we don’t have anything to trade or anything worth to pillage”

“Don’t worry, I am not here like a lost man or a bandit. Do you know a name, Genesi?”

As I said that name, the old man a.k.a the village chief having a shock expression, it seems he can’t believe what he heard and the crowds are dumbfounded as why the village chief sudden silence with unbelievable expression.

*cough* “Come let’s talk inside”

Oh, he’s fast to recover but why the hell he was shocked by stating the name of an angel, Genesi, who gives me the mission. Maybe I said something wrong? A taboo? Or a bad thing? Even my [World Knowledge] has no info as why he was shocked. We walk for few minutes and I arrived in a huge house built with stone and bricks. Inside the house, there are almost no furniture or decorations, we’ll I’ll understand that life in primitive era is so hard so maybe they don’t have time for luxury things.

Only the chief and I inside the house. We are probably located in the guest room or kitchen.

“How come you know that name?”

“He appears in front of me”

I reply him immediately and in honesty, no need to lie here. The chief’s eye grows big and return back to normal. Seriously, why the hell he was shock or what is it that shock or surprise him?

“So why you are here?”

Joel: “I need your help-”

“Sorry, but we can’t help you, as you can see we choose to live peacefully. We don’t want to experience our ancestor’s tragedy.”

“I see, then there’s no need for me to stay here”

The chief interrupt me and it’s clear that they don’t want to help me and experience their ancestor’s tragedy. He is probably talking about the fall of High Humans long ago, the fall of Tahas Country. Do they fear the weredemons? Or they choose to live peacefully and neglect their original purpose here? Anyway, that’s their choice, that’s their life so let’s respect them. I am not a forceful man, cause its troublesome to force people work or cooperate with you. Regrettably, it looks like I will move to plan B. Sigh.

As I scan the room, I see an ancient one-shot gun, this gun is probably one of the remnants of Tahas Nation before, its product so to speak. As I study it, it has close resemblance to early guns back in Earth, you need to lit the string or rope at the back and pull the trigger to fire the bullet inside. But this one is larger, heavier and inaccurate.

Joel: “Oh ancient gun, does this still work?”

Old man: “Oh, you know that thing at first glance, yes it’s an ancient gun but it’s a fail product. Its heavy, hard to aim and it fires one shot only, it puts the user at risk once the string there is on fire, it has decent firepower though but never mass produce because of many defects”

Joel: “I see, then if you ever changed your mind just call me and I’ll be there”

I bid my farewell and starts my journey back to the Queendom of Mulier, the journey will take more or less 2 hours without stopping in air dashing.

As I was on journey, I am thinking about the ancient gun before. If they corrected some defects and improve it, the Tahas Country before might have a greater chance in repelling the weredemons at that time. They just have no proper knowledge on it. Wait, how about I introduce modern guns on my subjects, I mean the people of Mulier, man, I have a hard time in treating them as my subjects.

But anyway, guns have many advantages. First, it’s easy to use, great firepower depending on the model, secondly it can easily eliminate foes and easily penetrate any normal armor in this era and lastly, it doesn’t require magic or exhaust your stamina as long as you have proper training and aiming.

Mhhmm, guns, I have invented a gun modeled after a desert eagle back at my home in Great Phatag. Hahaha, let’s introduce this fearsome and terrifying weapon that gives the enemies a glimpse of hell. And let’s not forget to put some restrictions on the usage of guns as to control unneeded accidents or casualties. Okay next project., introducing modern warfare, I mean guns. Hahaha
