At Daniel's side the things were not so tense, he had mingled with the ministers and gotten on their good side (unlike Mars and Hel) so when he set off by s.h.i.+p he was spending his time chatting with the soldiers and sailors on board the s.h.i.+p, overall it was some pleasant conversations with lots of laughs and happy moments as Daniel shared some of his stories, that was until a sailor rushed over and reported

"sir Daniel we have incoming s.h.i.+ps"

"oh... don't worry lads, I'll be right back"

Daniel began floating and flew off towards the enemy s.h.i.+ps, there was 3 in total, on the way there he unsheathed his sword which glimmered with a dull red s.h.i.+ne as the blade was made of adamant.i.te, while defecting the occasional arrow and spell Daniel arrived in the s.p.a.ce between the 3 s.h.i.+ps and suddenly yelled out

"suffer!"

as soon as he yelled the people on the s.h.i.+ps suddenly began screaming as blood purred out of all their orifices and collapsed on the spot, a few of them twitched a couple times but they were all dead as rocks, Daniel gave a small smile before he returned to the s.h.i.+p and continued chatting with the sailors and soldiers...

"they sure make easy targets..."

Terry stood on the front end of the s.h.i.+p and fired off energy arrow after energy arrow towards the horizon while the soldiers and sailors on board had no idea what he was firing and so eventually the general made his way up to the front end of the s.h.i.+p and asked Terry about it to which he answered

"the enemy of course, they looked like they were preparing some sort of spell so I interrupted them, then they began charging out of the city towards us so I shot them down on by one"

the general gave a nod, he didn't dare underestimate the young man in front of him, Terry looked to the front again and fired off one final arrow before he spoke to the general

"please tell the s.h.i.+ps to speed up, I have just captured one of them for questioning... it would be a shame if they bleed out before we arrived"

"yes at once sir Terry!"

the general ran off meanwhile Terry looked to the front of the s.h.i.+p again, it was unknown what he was looking at this time...

On Tatiana's side things were pretty much the same, the s.h.i.+ps they were sailing in were unknowingly headed towards a ambush set by sky people, but there was one thing the sky people didn't know and that was using magic in front of Tatiana was suicide, so when they started to prepare the spell Tatiana knew at once and waved her hand as the spell instantly completed and descended upon the sky people instead of their intended target...

Back at Mars' side a few days had pa.s.sed uneventfully and right now they were about to arrive at the sky people's territory, Yel looked somewhat tense but Mars and the girls were relaxed and flirted while they walked at a leisurely pace, they were currently walking on a dirt road that went through a plain, suddenly Mars looked to the front, in the distance he spotted a group of sky people flying their way with weapons ready, how they had been detected Mars didn't care, now that they were he just looked over at Yel and said

"here they come"

"...yes master, I will stop them"

Yel took flight and flew towards the sky people while Mars and the girls waited on the ground, after flying for a few moments Yel stopped and waited for them to arrive which they did a few moments later, Yel widened her eyes slightly when she saw her younger sister among the patrol but remained silent as others among the patrol recognised her and called out

"Yel it's you... where is the rest of the 112th Valkyries?"

"they have gone to the wheel"

the sky people in the patrol looked sad for a moment before they smiled as the one form before asked

"did they have a glorious end?"

Yel gave a nod with a slight smile

"that they did.... they died to my master"

Yel's little sister spoke up with amazement on her face

"sis you have a master!?"

the other sky people also looked amazed, one of them spoke up

"they must be some warrior... I would very much like to exchange pointers with them"

"hey me too!"

Yel gave a smile, having a strong master was a servants pride

"come I'll introduce you to my master"

Yel flew down and kneeled in front of Mars while the other sky people followed and landed behind her

"master I have completed my task"

Mars spoke out with a smile on his face

"well done Yel"

the sky people behind Yel looked at Mars with inspecting looks on their faces until one of them stepped forwards Mars looked at her, she looked like Yel only younger in other words she was beauty after she locked eyes with Mars she spoke up

"my name is Mel, I am Yel sister"

Mars gave a nod

"I am Mars, the current living G.o.d of energy and also Yel's master"

"a living G.o.d?"

Yel spoke up

"yes, master is indeed a living G.o.d"

Mel looked surprised and looked form Yel to Mars a few times before she regained her composure and spoke again

"be that as it may... as a member of Yel' family I will have to make sure Yel's new master is strong enough to be her master... thus I challenge you to a duel Mars! do you accept?"

Mars showed a confident smile and shrugged his shoulders

"sure, why not"
