Will of chaos

Pov of a Merchant:

I am surprised how safe this trip was, I was relieved because of this, it took us a little longer to leave due to the delay of one of the merchants, but it was a delay of only half a day where I managed to increase my sales because my company was the closest to try to make up for the delayed goods.

When we left the temporary camp where the Black Empire army troops were, all the merchants were saying that we would go to the hidden place where there would be a Floating Ship waiting for us.

I was happy at that time but soon found out that there was no Floating Ship, we were guided to a cave where we were taken to an underground river where several small boats were waiting.

All the merchants as well as myself were confused by this, but the Demon who was in charge had a big smile on his face, as I took the same boat as him since they divided the merchants, I managed to hear some things while he was talking to a subordinate.

Seems they discovered some spies and used it to pass false information, it made me break out in a cold sweat, this big chance of profits was riskier than I thought, I could have died.

Pov Zenos:

When I returned to our Floating Ship others stayed behind to look at the three white Floating Ships, mine oddly enough was not the most damaged.

Diana tore the enemy Ship to pieces during her combat, when I ended the fight I saw her in combat fighting on equal terms against a man, both were focused on speed, I thought about helping, but I used my Aura to strengthen Diana while harming her opponent, just that difference was enough to break the balance of power making Diana win, she cut his head off.

When I came back Kira's Father was nowhere to be seen, I looked up but saw nothing, there was no sign that there was a fight going on above the clouds.

"Nicole, what's the status?" (I)

"The enemies were almost all killed, the only ones who brought prisoners were you and Hinata." (Nicole)

"Of the 3 Ships, the biggest one is almost intact, the one you boarded is badly damaged and the last one is in pieces full of cut marks everywhere." (Nicole)

"Did someone run away?" (I)

"No, but I noticed a caravan that stopped far away from us, someone tried to spy on us from afar, but it seems to be Adventurers escorting a Noble along with some soldiers." (Nicole)

"Any sign of Kira's father?" (I)

"No, he seems to have disappeared." (Nicole)

"If he had lost we'd all be dead by now, plus there doesn't seem to have been any battles." (I)

"If you feel your surroundings instead of trying to search with just your eyes, then maybe you'll understand." (Silvia)

"..." (I)

I close my eyes and just spread my Aura around the surroundings in all directions while blending with the Environment around me, it heightens my senses.

Soon to be a wall above the clouds filled with the Shadow and Light element that my Aura can't even touch.

I open my eyes, but even looking directly at the direction I felt it, I see nothing, it just looks like the sky to me.

"Some kind of illusion or concealment barrier?" (I)

"How did you know?" (I)

"I have much more life experience than you think, he is using a technique to not only hide his fight but also hide what we did here from his opponent." (Silvia)

"So we can only wait, in the meantime, the 3 Ships must be inspected before anything is taken, I don't want to..." (I)

"Where is the prisoner?" (Alan)

"Don't be rude Alan, sorry about him." (Bianca)

While I was still giving my orders the Hero arrived accompanied by his group, this time it was good to see Darcia behaving herself.

"I'll take care of the Ships." (Nicole)

"Be careful with everything you find, don't go near anything that contains holy power!" (I)

Nicole, not caring about anything other than the Floating Ships that were sure to be dismantled, decided to fly away, so I give her a warning and wave for Silvia to follow her before turning back to the Hero's group.

"The prisoners are safe, when we leave we can interrogate them..." (I)

"I have..." (Hinata)

"What's up Hinata?" (I)

"Prisoner..." (Hinata)

Hinata who was floating nearby approaches with her usual expressionless face and opens her chest where only a head wrapped in tentacles was, it looked alive, and could see that it still had a neck, it also seemed to be breathing.

"If you don't put your sword down I'll rip your arm off before I throw you off my Ship." (I)

"But this mo..." (Alan)

"Alan! Stop being naive, there are no enemies here, so put your sword down!" (Bianca)

"Know how to differentiate who your enemies are." (Darcia)

"..." (Alan)

When a wraith-like Hinata stood beside me, opening her chest to reveal a still-breathing head surrounded by tentacles, the Hero drew his sword and pointed at her.

Immediately I and everyone around us looked at him, knowing that this scene can be shocking for those who see it for the first time, I give him a warning of what he would do if he continued with that, I was happy that I was able to act calmly without showing intention assassin in a situation where I would normally have lost my temper.

"I advise you to go inside and be calmer to think, you are lucky that I learned to control my emotions a short time ago, normally I would not warn before attacking you for what you did to my Familiar." (I)

"But not everyone is as patient as me, so..." (I)

"What's going on here?" (Klaus)

"Was it just a moment of carelessness on the part of the Hero, how was it with his opponent?" (I)

"I couldn't capture him, I had to kill him, but at least I managed to find out that we weren't the targets, we were in the wrong place at the wrong time." (Klaus)

"So this whole thing was just…" (Darcia)

"Hahahahahaha... I knew it, I knew it would be fun to be around you, hahahahaha..." (Natasha)

A blood-covered Natasha comes flying in. As I go, Margareth appears from somewhere pouring a potion of liquid soap on my sister's head.

"(Wrong time and wrong place...)" (I)

I knew this was caused by my bad luck, I only wanted to bring this damn Hero because I'm someone lucky, but it seems my luck is worse than expected and after what he did pointing his sword in Hinata's direction I'm tempted to throw him off that ship now.
