Is It Wrong to Skitter In A Dungeon? Chapter 54: Thy Name is Vengeance

Chapter 54: Thy Name is Vengeance

“I repeat, Sword Princess, why are you attacking my Familia in the middle of the city?”

Taylor was not often angry… okay, that was a lie. She got angry a lot. But it was rare for her rage to burn so hot and yet feel so calm. A paradoxical state, one her father had once referred to as ‘the Hebert Fury.’

And as Taylor stared dow...

“So, that’s the situation. Any questions?” I asked, looking at the group who’d gathered in my apartment.

Under the guise of a dinner party to celebrate Harry’s return from Hogwarts, my allies who were in the know about the Horcuxes had assembled, and after an excellent dinner made by Rainy, we all sat around the table as they digested bo...

(Monday, April 23rd, 2124)

“Since when could the Philips Building do that?”

Rafflesia’s question was a legitimate one. Sadly, Skunk did not have an answer, and he doubted anyone aside from Dane Vogel and the now dead Ultor board members did.

When Vogel had escaped to the Philips Building, he’d ordered a lockdown of the place, and ...

“Do we have to?” Hestia asked, whining a little as she dragged her feet.

“Yes,” Taylor replied, resisting the urge to sigh. “It’s an important meeting with the other members of our little conspiracy.”

“Don’t call it a conspiracy, that makes it sound bad,” the goddess huffed. “We’re trying to do good things, here!...

“Open,” Harry hissed, and the wall groaned and creaked as it pulled back, revealing the long, winding staircase that led into the Chamber of Secrets.

“You sure this will work?” I asked Buggy.

This wasn’t the first time, either, since we’d departed from Peach Island, and the red-nosed pirate captain rolled his eyes at me. Since he was just a floating head at the moment, his reaction was very obvious.

“Yes, Alvida, I am sure,” he grunted, annoyed at my constant badgering.

“Why are we being summoned to the Guild this early in the morning?” Hestia wondered with a yawn as she and Taylor trudged through the streets towards the Guildhall.

“Must have something to do with the withdrawal of Rakia,” Taylor guessed.

The army outside the gates had started to get ready to depart around dawn, and by nighttime most wou...

Several days after Playa had his secret meeting with the Ultor whistleblower, and Johnny was not happy after hearing what his boss had to say. Indeed, the words ‘Apocalyptically Furious’ would probably describe the Quirkless man better than anything else Playa could think of.

He was ranting and raving angril...

Mas Amedda paced back and forth nervously in his office, unable to settle down. How could he?! Everything had gone wrong so fast!

To my immense relief, we did find a way to help the surviving members of the Kumate tribe. And it was a solution I’d been carrying around with me the entire time!

Thanatos was not a god who was given to fear. Indeed, outside of a few rare supreme deities and the Dungeon, gods in general feared nothing.

So, it was quite the novel experience to experience bone-chilling terror as he listened to his darling captain regale him of the failed assault on the Hestia Familia.

“Thank you for coming over to help, Edward,” my mother said, wearing a faint smile on her face as she dug through several old chests.

It’d been a week since Dex had been assassinated by Julius, and things had gotten quiet in Stilwater. Eerily, so, in Playa’s opinion.

The heroes had backed off, and the cops circled like vultures but didn’t try to do anything. There were no more mercenaries or bounty hunters trying to stab them, and...

‘I lost a decade and a half of my life when I ended up here,’ I thought to myself bitterly as I stared at the crumbling brick and concrete prison I was about to be entombed within for the next few hours.

For some God Forsaken reason, that long-nosed bastard had made it so I had to go to the worst school in the city… no, the whole state because...

“Okay, this should be the place,” I muttered to myself. My voice bounced around the darkness, echoing off the walls of the alleyway as I crept through it.

Chikorita. Cyndaquil. Totodile. The three Starter Pokémon of Johto. In the past, they were known as the companions of nobility, and to have one was a sign of status and power. Their final evolutions were also incredibly powerful, which gave a leg up on anyone who was lucky enough to start with one.

Unfortunately, these Pokémon were rather rare. Over hunting and wa...

Following the smell of smoke through the jungle led us to a large clearing in the middle of the island.

To our relief, the Buggy pirates were all still alive, and not yet turned into soup. There we...
