"Yami... that bitch be playing with fire."
Skylar's words prompting her, Yami looked at the direction of the woman.
"Uhhmmm... She is really going too far." She said, a slight frown on her face.
With two burly men in black cargo pants, black t-shirt, black boots and black beret, prepping the bazooka-looking contraption; the woman Aya, with a switch-looking device in her left hand, mouthed at him while also showing him the middle finger like she did earlier.
"Is she really going to shoot that thing?"
Skylar judged by the insane amount of energy he sensed building up within the bazooka-looking device.
"Our barrier should hold. But are you sure you are not going to accept her challenge. If you can subdue her, we might even be able to absorb her entire faction."
Skylar scoffed at Yami's suggestion. "I have said it already... I am never going to pander to anyone. And even if she and her entire faction wants to join, they must pass my test."
"...."
Saying this, Yami also responded, but Skylar with his entire focus on the bazooka-looking weapon that seems to be fully charged and about to fire, didn't hear her.
Instead, he saw the woman pressed one of the two buttons of the switch device, and in response after exactly five seconds;
*Hum
Everything behind a region between them fade from view and was instantly replaced by a blot of blinding white light mixed with blue electrical sparks that outshine every other light within lavender guild territory, including the twilight from the sky by many times, and a loud sizzling sound followed after, as sound is slower than light.
*Sizzle...
All this meaning, the barrier territory intercepted the super fast apocalyptic attack, stopping it successfully, but might have weakened from it.
She is really crazy...
The attack probably alerting many people within the territory, Skylar with a narrowed eyes and a frown, watch as the two burly men prepare the weapon for probably a second launch.
"Yami, are you guys allowed to fight in here?"
He asked, and Yami who seems unbothered by the whole event but might be enjoying it as she has a smile on her face that Skylar couldn't see or care about as she is crouched behind him, replied:
"Yes... But you will have to pay a big fine to the tower and you will also pay damages to the other person or faction if you attack first, except for the case of safe base sovereignty."
"What's safe base sovereignty?"
Saying this, Skylar sands up, and Yami replied as she also stands up, mimicking him.
"The right to attack anyone that enters your safe base without authorization, and the right to demand damages from the person even without any evidence of them causing trouble. Hihihi... Its crazy right?"
"What about the case of self defense?"
Skylar ignoring her question, followed up with a question of his own as he walks towards the very edge of the top of the building, with his eyes locked onto the woman and her two underling. And Yami following behind him, replied.
"As long as you don't attack first, you can go ahead and kill the other person. And the funny thing is that person will still have to pay you damages after paying the tower a fine." She stopped behind him and added, "All this apply only to players though... except for the case of safe base sovereignty."
"I see." Skylar now standing on the edge of the building muttered as he commands the natural energy around him, coating all his cells with it.
And a couple second later, the second shot from the weapon arrived, hitting the barrier over the expansive territory the same manner as the first, but with a light a tiny bit brighter this time and the sizzling sound a tiny bit louder.
Soon after as the light and sound died down, Yami pinched her left black earring.
["Bilkis... Switch off the barrier."]
["Crazy woman, what are you talking about, the other crazy bitch has lost it and you are telling me to switch off the barrier at this time. Do you want us all to die?"]
["Just listen before barking... The lord will take care of the rest... "]
["How?..."]
["Just believe... Open the barrier and watch."]
["Hey Bilkis! Also record everything about to happen, we are on your roof top."]
["Crazy woman... you get to watch everything up close..."]
["Hihihi... You will see more in the future if you act like a good girl."]
["Yami chan, fuck you!"]
Listening to the conversation between Yami and someone through the communicator installed in her earrings, Skylar with his right foot suspended midair and over the edge of the roof top; closed his eyes and leaned forward, making him plunge headfirst with a breakneck speed towards the land more than a kilometer below.
"Commander, they are falling, should we record them?"
"What's that?... A person?"
"Tomi, the demon lord... Why are they falling?"
"Kyahhh!!! Riri!! Come and see!.. A super handsome dude is falling from the heavens!"
"Where?"
"Hooray!!! The tower must have heard our prayers."
"What! A man..."
Some pairs of eyes catch Skylar's plunging figure as they look through the transparent crystal glass walls of the guild residence building.
Suddenly from his right side, some of this pair of eyes saw a large black blurry creature arrived decelerating far below him.
The creature appearing to be a hundred meter tall version of Goldie with wings spread, stopped and welcomed Skylar with a whistling scream—Skylar landed elegantly on his back after his body flipped mid air.
"Don't fly too fast, just stop in front of their barrier."
Skylar instructed in his mind and Goldie screamed in delight, and like being set free after a decade of captivity; Goldie's figure accelerated, reaching almost the speed of sound in a blink, as lots of spectators saw it fly out of the guild territory whose barrier has been turned off.
Then about eight seconds after Goldie departed like a launched missile, his majestic figure with Skylar also standing majestic on his back with arms folded across his chest and chin raised, stopped suddenly and abruptly without decelerating in front of a barrier protecting the territory beside their own—the territory the shots came from.
Dumbstruck and frightened, the woman and her two underling who are face to face with the bird as they watch from the top of the building sighed in relief when they see the bird pause in front of the barrier, thinking there is no way it can pass through it.
Inside the barrier...
"Ahh.. He scared me for a minute." Her voice uncharacteristic of her emontionless appearance—raspy and boyish; Aya placed her hand over her large breasts, as she regains her breathing, calming her nerves.
"Toy boy, have you come to acknowledge your mother?"
With gestures, she projected her voice to Skylar.
"Heh!"
Outside the barrier, upon hearing her uncharacteristic and unladylike voice, Skylar rooted stunned on Goldie's back unable to conclude if to laugh at her or not.
"Did you shit your pant toy boy?"
With the left commisure of his mouth twitching from amusement, her voice from inside the barrier once again reached him, this time in quick succession along with corresponding gestures.
"What a dirty boy?"
"Mummy over there must have neglected you, poor boy."
"Thanks the heavens you are lucky... your mother here is nice... If you apologize to me i will give you time to clean up."
"And don't worry, after i flog you, i will keep you. What do you think? Small boy."
Seriously!
Skylar who has his eyes on her couldn't help but rub his face to confirm if what he just experienced is real and have really come from an emotionless-looking legendary beauty that she is.
"Goldie, just imagine. My anger has dissipated already."
"I know... With that display, i am even starting to like her a little. But she is still a crazy woman."
Goldie replied Skylar mental voice. His eyes reflecting the woman gesturing at them with a whip in one hand and the switch device in the other; he flapped his wings once, creating a turbulent gust of wind that make several spectators wish it can force open the barrier, so they can witness a big fight.
"Sky what are you going to do?"
The wind dissipating, Goldie asked.
"I am going to give her a chance. She is quite entertaining."
Replying Goldie with a smile on his face, Skylar pocketed his hand, and from Goldie's back with a speed of 700 foot per second, he appeared on top of his head, closer to the barrier between them and the woman.
"Your name is Aya right?"
Skylar projected voice with a tilt of the head, traveled through the barrier and reached the woman and her two burly underlings behind her.
"Huh... I didn't know you were a rude boy." Her face looking emotionless as ever, she swings the whip in her hand in his direction, "Rude boys like you deserve rude awakening before you can be kept."
"But before that."
She pressed the second button of the switch device, restarting the bazooka-looking weapon pointing at them.
"Are you really going to shoot that thing at me?"
Chuckling, Skylar projected his voice at her as she is waiting for the weapon to fully charge. And like she is totally ignoring him, she turned around and suddenly whipped one of the two burly men, then the second one also, making the two for some reason turn their back to her and hunch like they expect more.
This...
"You met your match, huh?"
Skylar startled and a little annoyed, ignored Goldie's comment. Regaining his calm and composure, his atmosphere as witnessed by perceptive spectators suddenly changed, seeming like a calm wind before a storm, thereby causing the woman to suddenly turn around as an imperceptible and subtle gleam flicker in her hunting eyes.
"Hey you!"
Eyes narrowed, Skylar called authoritatively. And due to his super amplified stern and deep voice, crystal glasses in the direction he faced almost shattered, startling everyone behind them, the woman and her underlings taking the full brunt of the force it carried.
"If you dare shoot that thing again, i am going to slap your butt nine thousand times... believe me, and it will be very painful." Concluding with seriousness in his voice, he chuckled softly, defusing the tensed atmosphere.
However, the woman kind of pissed off but still able to sustain her emotionless look, swing her whip at the air in his direction in response, and like that, she pressed the switch anyway, shooting at him and the giant creature he stands on.
