Chapter 154
Chapter 154
I was asked to step behind a curtain to summon the souls out of sight after Romani returned as he believed that having an unfamiliar presence who was rather... snarky was likely to be detrimental to the mental states of the A team that I was reviving.
I didnt complain as that would give me a bit of privacy to take care of some shenanigans and make sure that there aren't any issues in Chaldea moving forward.
Kadoc Zemlupus, Ophelia Phamrsolone and Scandinavia Peperoncino were summoned and set aside without issue but then we began to have problems with the other three.
"Romani, that Daybit dude is still alive, and his soul is fine? I can't touch his soul at all." I said frowning as no matter how I messed with the Resurrection stone, it wouldn't do anything, meaning that Daybit wasn't even in a half dead coma like the rest of the Crypters were.
Akuta had already healed up after she drank a bit of my blood and had already left the medical wing seeing as even Romani had his guard up to her with how her first reaction to me helping her was to suck my blood without permission.
Kadoc and the other three after being summoned however were magi of some skill so they had already been well indoctrinated in their stupid 'To use Mage Craft is to walk with death' philosophy so it didnt take too much convincing from Romani that Da-Vinci invented some soul catcher, and medicine to fix them up.
"Is Daybit stable on your side?" I asked as I heard Romani franticly tapping on his hard light tablet and only got a grunt for a response.
"Try Beryl and Kirschtaria's soul... I just hope it's not a coffin error that dissipated Daybit's soul." Romani finally ordered and I began the process of pulling Beryl's soul but even as I pulled it out of the coffin, I knew I didnt even need to do anything to it.
A loud howl rang out and I threw aside the curtain as a malformed bipedal silver toned wolfman tore its way violently out of the coffin and instantly launched itself at Romani.
"Beryl stop, it's me!" Romani cried out trying to bring the werewolf to its senses, but it was worthless and even as Kadoc and Scandinavia ran forward with there bodies glowing with electrical light as they reinforced themselves magically to grapple with the werewolf and even Ophelia began franticly undoing the eyepatch covering her mystic eye I had already space skipped ahead and laid a harsh kick into the were wolf smashing it into one of the empty Coffins and crumpling it.
"The Hunt is here!" The werewolf spat out and I could barely understand the words coming out of Beryls mouth as the obviously insane soul began twitching and the wolf portions of the soul began to overtake his humanity.
"Jake put him down! He is a Fae werewolf; we can't trust him with mental deterioration!" Romani cried out as he jumped over the coffin holding Kirschtaria as the werewolf dodged a punch from me and the other two male masters trying to grapple him.
I winced as Beryl smashed into Kirschtaria's coffin and Ophelia Phamrsolone began loudly crying as the machine was crumple like an empty soda can being squeezed by hand, It was obvious that the leader of Team A was now unrecoverable...
Not wanting Beryl to cause anymore damage I took out my sword and with another space skip I was able to take off the werewolf's head when Kadoc kicked the him in the chest.
"Jake! His soul is reforming even worse in his body... Please just purge him." Romani sighed as he stood over the remains of Beryl's Coffin and I could vaguely see Beryl's form within the Coffin twisting and visibly growing large black hairs across his skin and was going to change into his werewolf form.
Before I could even get to him Ophelia stomped forward and I saw her body glowing powerfully as she was obviously reinforcing her body to the limit and with a war cry, she smashed her fist down on Beryl's face and even with the lip of the coffin preventing me from seeing Beryl I didnt need to know the specifics as a loud wet squelching noise rang out.
"Bastard killed Wodime..." She sniffled visibly on the verge of tears and then with another wet tearing noise she tore out her blood covered hand which she cradled in pain uncaring to the mess she made to her clothes and clean hand.
I sighed feeling a bit conflicted about Wodime as honestly, he was extremely competent, but it was likely he would have become an issue as his pride would push him to become the Director of Chaldea as well as leading the parties in the Singularities, which would clash in my objectives to gather materials and Servants.
I then glanced to Daybit's coffin seeing it was fine and mentally shook any thoughts aside of possibly sabotaging it at the moment.
If we can't heal and fix him by the Camelot singularity, he will just have to face an 'accident' I have no interest in dealing with that Alien God and whatever bullshit Grand Berserker class Servant he had in canon.
Kadoc Zemlupus had a perpetually tired if not depressed air around him shown by him predominantly wearing faded white and gray clothes which matched his hair and his baggy eyes. Which heavily contrasted with Scandinavia Peperoncino another male master with his light purple hair and bombastic eye of confidence.
"Ophelia come here..." Scandinavia sighed softly pulling the blank eyed woman into a hug.
I sighed and collapsed into one of the padded benches lining the sides of the operating room we were in to take in the visibly destroyed room.
"So who are you." Kadoc questioned me as he briefly stood over me but with a glare he sighed and sat beside me on the other side of the bench.
"My name is Jake Barris, and I was brought into Chaldea at the last moment before the shit hit the fan. Then me and the other surviving master who also just joined the previous day got tossed into a singularity..." I said explaining the general outline about what happened to Kadoc with Ophelia and Peperoncino listening in closely.
"So, you are saying some demon was using Lev Lainur as a body suit and betrayed all of us... Hmm well we now know who we are up against at least." Peperoncino mumbled as he rubbed his chin.
"Ah. Well its a bit late but lets do some introductions shall we? My name is Scandinavia Peperoncino... Just call me Pepe as we are going to be just the best of friends!" I nodded happy I wouldn't have to call him by such a long name and honestly he was right about us being close as people who fight together always become if not friends respectful of the other.
Scandinavia Peperoncino was definitely a person I could call a peer of sorts in terms of combat potential as he was capable of spending a long time being tracked and attacked by several Servant's within his own lost belt.
"This cutie here is Ophelia Phamrsolone and that young man beside you is Kadoc Zemlupus..." Before Pepe could continue on Romani called out.
"I need everyone out. Da Vinci is on the way to see if there is anything that can be done for Wodime but we need all the space we can get for her machines. Ophelia I am sorry but you need to leave so your mystic eye doesn't affect anything." Romani winced as Ophelia twitched and Pepe literally grabbed Ophelias arms and I realized that the woman was about to possibly rip her own mystic eye out...
Thankfully Pepe was able to see people's aura's and know their future intentions almost giving him a ghetto Sharingan which allowed him to read people's movements before they even made them.
I face palmed as Romani pricked Ophelia with a needle giving her a sedative, and the woman collapsed within Pepe's arms after a few moments of struggle. I seeing the show was overturned to Kadoc. "You aren't going to snap as well are you..." I mean we were half for half for the people brought back and doing crazy shit or just dying...
Kadoc's face scrunched up and he snorted as he shook his head. "No... I would rather you not kick me through a wall." Kadoc then stood up and stretched "Actually I am going to just go scream into my pillow, in the privacy of my bedroom. See ya guys!" He said almost cheerily and I blinked seeing the man powerwalk out of the medical wing.
"Romani what's up with Ophelia's eye?" I asked but Romani just pushed me out of the hospital wing along with Pepe who was holding said woman in her arms.
"Thats not my place to tell you... Ask her yourself or something." He said brusquely but I couldn't blame him as Da Vinci came around the corner driving what looked to be a four-wheeler and towing another Coffin and a bunch more equipment.
"Alright... Goodluck with the operation!" I called as I left the medical wing and decided to return to my room to rest.
