Now, how would they go about fighting [Shadow Pact]?

  “What are your pns then, Elizabeth?” Jenna seemed to want to know that.

  “We only o teach him a lesson. I am enough.” Rossie said as her mana fred, Elizabeth almost could see the image of Rossie’s wings and hrowing from her.

  “And if she isn’t enough, I am here too.” Rena added from the side. Unlike Rossie, there was no mana fre…

  But Elizabeth wasn’t quite sure if this was more or less scary. Someone who ruled over [Wrath] not showing their [Wrath]? Yeah, that wasn’t particurly calmiher.

  “.... So the pn is to go at it like dumbasses wanting to do a dick-measure test?” Jenna asked, ign both girls, “Because trust me on this one, if yoing to do a dick measure test, you are at quite the… disadvantage.”

  “...that is crass, Jenna Lewis,” Rossie said, letting her mana fre dissipate and making a disgusted face.

  “ What is your point? At worst [Shadow Pact] was level…..oh…” Rena started her argument only to stop speaking midway as realization hit her.

  “e on, say it. What level was Max? What level did you two hardheaded girls want to fight?” Jenna smiled as realization had hit Rena.

  “Eighty-six.” Rossie answered without batting an eye, “So? It's not like he is thinking straight at the moment. He is probably only using about half of what he has avaible to him. So long as he isn’t making use of all his kit, no matter how many status points he has, they are meaningless.”

  Oho?

  “That is a good way to put it, Elizabeth. What level are you at the moment?” Jenna suddenly asked, “After getting the experience from everything that has happeely,”

  Her level? She was around level forty or sht?

  “I am….oh….Are you kidding? I just evolved my job!” Elizabeth groaned as she brought her status s. She had leveled up all the way to level 50. Turning her eyes towards the other two girls, she noticed a couple of bck ss showing up with the levels and names of Rossie and Rena.

  They may revolt or decide to rebel. Do you wish to allow this level up?

  Warning:Y/N?

  …What the heck?

  “What the heck? Yes, don’t show me this again, ” Elizabeth said while dismissing the st bck s.

  “Oh, level up. Eli-Eli we are the same level!” Rossie smiled as a notification seemed to pop up in front of Rossie.

  “...Same, I get a job evolution. We evolve together…or not.” Rena said suddenly shaking her head, “I will evolve first, if nothing goes wrong then Eli evolve, and finally Rossie.”

  Why?

  “Oh, ch, Ren-Ren.” Rossie suddenly said, bringing a new pet hat Elizabeth hadn’t heard before; it sounded…cute-ish while also being somewhat tomboyish, perfect for Rena. “Eli-Eli, let Ren-Ren evolve first, that way you help her like you did with me if needed.”

  ….

  “I guess? I mean, I don’t think I helped much. But then we will evolve together okay?” Elizabeth wasn’t quite sure if she had really helped Rossie.

  She got this vague feeling that she did something, but for the love of all that was cute (Rossie & Rena), she couldn’t remember, it was like it was just at the tip of her tongue, a so far away…

  “Well, first get that over. But even with a job evolution at level 50 with the crazy stuff Elizabeth and you two pulled out, I doubt it will be able to breach the difference. From what my [Echo] told me, Elizabeth here gets around 21 status points per level. And while that is amazing…you still are way too behind.” Jenna closed her eyes for a few seds as if thinking about something, then smirked at whatever she found. “Elizabeth needs around seven levels to breach the difference. As for you two…well, you must at least match Elizabeth. I don’t think you manage, not on this one.”

  Well…that was harsh, Elizabeth may be able to finally get a job that could give her more status points than her [Privilege] granted, she had abused the heck out of it… Defeating Akira would have been….well, she may not have made it to the point where Nyx had e to save her if she had been an average person with the usual amount of points.

  She could…maybe earn around 15 or so points? She wasn’t quite sure hooints she could get befetting the boost from her parents asding, but she was sure she wouldn’t have gotten as many status points as he had.

  Now, if her new [Job] gave her more points…if it gave her enough to breach the difference of seven levels…

  She would be able to match [Shadow Pact], but why did they earn so little? Weren’t they at the peak?

  “Why does he earn so little?” So Elizabeth asked, she o know, lest she end up in that same position.

  “Because they rushed to the peak after [Advent], unlike you who started from the bottom he couldn’t pile up achievements or feats like you did. What the former members of [The Twelve] do is impressive yes. For a normal [Hero]. But the amount of power and information they have make those same feats muo them, so their job are mundane.” Jenna answered while shrugging, “So if you did the same thing as he is doing without the same level of power and influence? Well, obviously, you get better achievements.”

  ….didn’t Elizabeth have a literal sed world and a billion servants at her call? How did that calcute into her achievements then?

  “So after what Elizabeth has achieved, she should get a higher rarity job. So the difference should go from seven to perhaps five or less, so long rovide the right support, it should be fine nht?” Rena asked from the side as she eyed her notifications, “So we should focus on our overall strategy. The terrain and the area of bat, also in how we are calling him here.”

  Right, they o call [Shadow Pact] here, how would they do that though?

  “I help with that.” A male voice sounded from behind the firls. “Hello Jenna, long time no see.”

  “Hello…this….sir, used the [Mana Imprint] you left on us to track you…Sorry.” The [Law Bringer Sentinel] said as she celed her shift auro her normal appearance.

  “Hello again…Is Lizbeth or Alice around?” [Lunar Shade] asked as she eyed Elizabeth, Rena and Rossie.

  “Wait, that isn’t Lizbeth? They look the same…okay this one seems a little dumber, but still! They are like twins!” The irl said.

  First of all, rude.

  Sed of all, rude!

  “Hello [Elementalist].” Jenna answered as she turo look at the new people here, Jenna didn’t even turo look at the two girls behind the mage. “You seem to have overstayed your tour this time. Aren’t you worried about Izanami?”

  The [Mage] opened up a fan with each bde of its make engraved with a [Kanj, “My subordinate should be enough to deal with the politics; his way of soothing the feudal lords may be overbearing, but they o remember that they are allowed to hold that power. I was going to do some tours seeking the [Dragon Spirit] that awoke a few weeks ago, but I see you found quite iing things…Not o two [Divine Spirits]? And a [Human God]? Quite the findings [Jenna Lewis].”

  ….The what now?

  “They are uhe prote of [Framework] and [Odyssey].” Jenna said narrowing her eyes, “Or you will attempt to cim what is my [Father]’s?”

  And in that single instant, Elizabeth felt as if the weight of [The World] was trying to crush her, a reflex had her pulling towards her e to her [Shadow Haven], that made the pressure diminish upon her, so she extended her shadow over Rena and Rossie to offer them the same prote.

  “Think your words carefully [Elementalist], for I like my [Father] am not merciful.” Jenna’s hair was shining in bright Azure light, it almost looked as if it was ready to bust into azure fmes, her eyes shone in bright azure light too. Unlike how it was with Elizabeth who only had an azure fme in her eyes, Jenna’s eyes shoh azure light sht that one couldn’t see the eye anymore.

  Each time her mouth opened you could only see azure light, it was almost as if her body wao burst into azure light but was beiogether by her will.

  “...I jest of course.” The [Elementalist] smiled as he closed her fan and pocketed it back, “ I just wao see what I had made by act, it was [Karma] what brought for the ge, so we are tied by it. Both myself and her.”

  The what now?

  “...what did you do?” Jenna asked as her eyes narrowed. Her appearance hadn’t ged just yet, and as she took a siep forward, Elizabeth could swear she was seeiy break. “What did you do to my sister?”

  The [Elementalist] didn’t seem scared by this, even though both Lunar Shade and Law Bringer Sentinel had (Once again) fallen unscious. These pirls would have the most iing job evolutions for their job.

  “I cast a ritual magic spell to call upon the nd spirits to help me search for [Shadow Pact]. The spell enveloped the whole try since I o make sure no one would escape my [Sight].” The [Elementalist] answered calmly even as Jenna’s fury threateo hit him in the face. “You o uand my point of view, I o make sure nothing was unturned, so I made the most plex possible and used as much mana as the local dragon veins allowed me to use.”

  ….Why is it always dragons?

  “So?” Jenna asked, Elizabeth could see the [Echo] of [The Juggernaut] behind Jenna, at the ready to ma and help her.

  “Well, I got quite the iing feedback from the [Spell], someoempted to analyze it, destruct it and track me back using it, quite the attempt at it.” [The Elementalist] said, pointing at Elizabeth, “I had thought it was either a traditionalist from Izanami, one of the servants from the Italians, or perhaps a random A-Tier Mage who didn’t know better, so I left them alone.”

  “...?” Elizabeth didn’t quite get what that had to do with her, though.

  “She was the oo try and do it, the spell was too plex for her mind, she shouldn’t had enough mana to eve. Yet she did, and she tried to use it forcefully.” The [Elementalist] summoned a mana proje of a figure of Elizabeth standing atop what seemed to be a river, “She somehow pulled from the local dragon veins to fuel her attempts, eled the rampaging mana into herself, and then…burst like a balloon when she wasn’t able to el the spell.”

  “Well, I am quite fine and didn’t turn into a spt, thank you very much,” Elizabeth said from the back, causing Rossie ao giggle.

  “Yes, I see that.” [The Elementalist] answered, “I was expeg to find a dragon spirit at best and a wyrm soul at worst. That is the fate of those that attempt to wield magic they don’t uand, for the hubris of their greed and pride shape them into the way of the Dragon vein.”

  ….right….she did turn into…a dragon didn’t she?

  “So what if I took too much from this…dragon vein, what would happen if I mao not turn into a….spt?” Elizabeth asked.

  “Well, that would be quite the find, should you somehow have the correct physiology and the correct [Soul]. Then you would awaken into a [Lesser Dragon Hatg] at best or a [Lesser Wyrm] at worst. You would lose yourself into the dragon soul and turn berserk, and I would have quite the pet for my dear friend.” [The Elementalist] answered.

  Well, she did turn into a [Dragon], but she wasn’t quite sure if she would describe what her [Dragon Self] was or what she had done as a [Hatg]; she was closer to a Young Dragon….

  “Had you done anything like that, Izanami would be a crater in the o,” Jenna said from the back.

  “....You may be powerful [Juggernaut] but do not disrespect the might of [Izanam. My dear friend has quite the array of S-Css Kaijus at his disposal. Not even the mighty [Juggernaut] would be able to deal with them.” [The Elementalist] said, for the first time his facade of a suave guy faltering and showing anger.

  “But would they measure to a [God]? Would they measure to stop the [Wrath] of [Framework]? “ Jenna smirked, the phantom of the [Juggernaut] looming behind her, almost visible to the naked eye.

  “You cim the [Gods] would side with you? They don’t even ahe Prophet], the most powerful [Divine Mana] Cleric.” [The Elementalist] smirked, “You think too highly of your power [Juggernaut], pride will be your fall.”

  At this Jenna ughed, for the first time sihis had started she ughed as all the mana she had been building disperced as if nothing. “No, he cherished me, of that I am sure. But even so he would probably not e down to help me if I was about to be defeated in bat, of that you are correct.”

  Elizabeth…didn’t knew how to feel about that, from that iion she khat Jenna saw Elizabeth’s papa as her own Father. But what did Elizabeth’s father think of Jenna?

  “But you be sure as hell that he would intervene for Elizabeth.” Jenna said with a mog smile.

  “They would? For her? Why? What is so special about her? She may have talent but that is about it. There are thousands, if not millions more, that do what she did.” [The Elementalist] said.

  “But how many are [The Daughter of Framework]?” Jenna said with a smile on her face.

  “.....you jest.” [The Elementalist] said turning to look at Elizabeth. “...they had a daughter?”

  “Yes they did, among the memories that you all got stripped of was her identity. Or tell me Oda Ryuuji. Do you remember anything about someoh enough talent to decipher one of YOUR spells and fall into what you call it? A Qi deviation?” Jenna said pointing at Elizabeth, “And then somehow mao return to her [Human Form], not even I could do that and I call upon almost an infinity amount of knowledge from other worlds.”

  “No…I mean…I should know her if she showed these talents yes…but….was it…thehat would expin it…” [The Elementalist] mumbled as he went through some scrolls, reading them and then throwing them away as they busted in fmes. “You have proven your point Jenna Lewis, as for you!”

  The [Elementalist] poi Elizabeth, “Yes?” So Elizabeth answered.

  “Should you ever visit Izanami, go to the Oda Temple. We shall test your affinity to our arts, and offer you some of our scrolls in pensation for the damages we caused you with the Qi deviation from my spell.” The [Elementalist] said throwing a slip of paper with the words [Oda] written in the nguage of Izanami.

  Of course Elizabeth knew what it said since her [Identify] worked the data for her.

  “As for you Jenna Lewis…We shall remember this favor, for you have stopped us from dooming our try.” And in that tuhe [Elementalist] took a scroll and ripped it in half, disappearing as a magic circle formed above and bellow him, eng him in light of teleportation.

  “[Mistress, the coordinates for this teleportatioo travel all the way to the other side of the world. We have logged the coordinates for ter use if you require them.]” Aura spoke at the back of her mind.

  Was this girl always seeking ways to get Elizabeth into problems? Why would she go out of her way to teleport to the base of the guy who seemed to be the cause of her almost going berserk?

  Actually she did go berserk, she did got ed by her [Dragon Pride] when she was faced with something she wasn’t able to uand, decipher and imitate.

  “Well, at least that let us know the [Elementalist] will not be a problem, wish we could deal with it witouth having to expose as muformation as we o do.” Jenna sighed while turning to look at the two magical girls on the floor.

  Lexia Bloodthorn and Luna Harmonia.

  “You were the one who gave away Eli-Eli’s information.” Rossie said, walking toward the two fainted girls.

  “Would you be able to defeat him?” Rena asked from the side.

  He was among the weakest ones, after all.

  “Of course, but how much damage he would inflict upon you three would be hard to know. That of course, doesn’t include colteral damage I cause to you either.” Jenna answered with a sigh. “So in this case is better for him to know that he is not to mess with Elizabeth, he will test this data and seek his divio see if it would end like I implied.”

  “Would it end that way?” Rossie asked. “Eli-Eli’s father seemed more like a gentleman…”

  “...” “...” Both Jenna and Elizabeth only stared at Rossie.

  “Wasn’t [The Ameri Crusader] known for his might and short temper?” Rena oher hand seemed to have a clearer view of Elizabeth’s Father.

  “Only in matters to his family, or those he sidered family.” Jenna answered, “So in this case, if [The Elementalist] had tried to [Tame] Elizabeth as a dragon…Izanami…and maybe this world would have ended as a broken rock.”

  “He could also rip Izanami from the p and throw it to the sun.” Elizabeth chimed up helpfully.

  “Right, he did do that with those tis before, didn’t he?” Jenna sighed as she seemed to remember something with fondness. “Not the point, now that we know we have two less members of the [o worry about, we might as well get it over with.”

  Jenna then turo the three girls and snapped her fingers, “[I decre this area free of influence from outside forces besides those that I approve of.]” Elizabeth felt the ambient mana around them stagnate and burst into azure fire.

  It was…warmth, not the same warmth she felt when sleeping within the azure fmes of her [Soulscape], but it was close. It was the warmth of…family.

  “There, it should suffice for now. I am not too used to expanding my [Authority] like this, so get over it. Tier up girls, we o know what you have to deal with Max.” And in that to was time to tier up.

  Again.

  Hadn’t they dohis like…st week? Or was it st month?

  Looking bato Elizabeth’s internal clock, she found the answer was….almost three months ago…huh… Time does fly when one is having fun…Or being ed by their own [Sin] while dealing with ay crisis.
