Mantle of the Gods [LitRPG / Slow Burn / FTB Harem]

Ether was in the Bequeathal Chamber.

Considering that the rest of my team was also in there and unconscious, her being there wasn't the terrifying part. Her being awake was. I knew what it meant, but there was no time to explain it. She needed a rundown fast.

"Levels don't matter." Rix had her chain-sword in her hand. "Kill bad guys." Then she vanished.

"It feels weird but you get better the more you practice. Just trust your training and your skills." Whisper elbowed his way past us. "The big one's mine."

HOW ARE YOU STILL CONSCIOUS! THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN! ONLY THE GOD AND HIS PRIEST ARE CONSCIOUS HERE!

I looked at the tentacle faced monstrosity that had come out of Sandez. "That's because we ARE GODS!" I got some satisfaction from the confusion on his face, which gave me a second to turn around.

I looked at Ether. "I love you."

I didn't wait to hear her response. Whisper was already moving and I was going to be more useful this time.

I focused and thought about my SnakeBlade and it materialized in my hand as I charged the closest one.

Except its head fell at my feet as Whisper decapitated it on his way to the leader.

GODSLAYER!!!!!!!!

Rix's blade shone bright as her strike cut one of them in half from head to toe.

Another one fell to Whisper's blade, then he was fighting the huge one. Rix was flashing around the room slashing at them while her Godslayer was on cooldown. I angled towards the closest one to me. It had a fireball in its hand, but I had a counter for that.

"INCOMING! WAVE!"

Rix blinked behind Ether and Whisper seemed completely unaffected as the wall of water as high as the ceiling crashed over the demons. The fireball died as I followed the water and stabbed the demon in the chest. It staggered backwards as I pulled my blade out. I went to swing again, but this time it used electricity, which tensed up all my muscles, but didn't stop my ability to use magic.

"BIND!"

I targeted its arms, changing the trajectory to the floor.

The demon stopped the spell, which gave me the chance to pick up my sword. This time I swung into a stream of ice slowing my swing.

If it wanted to play hardball, then I'd play.

"Bindings!"

I threw my right hand at its face as a mass of vines wrapped around its face and neck and started pulling it backwards. I focused on the spell, imagining where I wanted the next vine to grab and how hard I wanted it to pull.

That freed my left hand to stab it. I was able to get in two more jabs before I felt safe enough to grab my sword with both hands and swing at its neck.

I was used to things vanishing when I killed them. This one didn't. It was like it was slowly leaking off smoke. I didn't have time to examine it as I looked for my next target, but Rix was finishing off the one she was fighting and Whisper had beaten the leader down to one arm and somehow part of a leg. It was really weird how their bodies weren't following the normal way a monster or person would.

"You think you've won?!" The Sandez demon sneered. "You've won nothing! These bodies are ours to take whenever we want!"

"Let me know when you would like me to kick you out again." Whisper cut the demon in half.

That only left the high priestess.

The three of us started walking over to her.

"You think you've won?" Fera put a knife to her throat. "If I kill this one, then the only way out is for you to Desolate your city." She glared at us. "STOP!"

Rix blinked behind her and hit her on the back of the head, but as she was falling the demon inside her peeled itself out, grabbing the knife and making good on its threat.

"Now you're trapped in…"

GODSLAYER!

The Demon fell in half.

Rix stood triumphant over the last demon.

I didn't feel the same pride that she was displaying.

Now we were trapped.
