A New Path - Chapter 230

Upon the beautiful mountain top on God’s mountain on Paradise island stood Amell with a calm and confident smile. He was about to travel to the continent of Ishgar after so many years away from it. He was neither nervous nor excited, he was simply aware of the moment he was currently in. That was all he could think about. Though he was curious about how the guild had changed since he was there, which had been close to or maybe even more than a hundred years. He had stopped counting long ago so he had no idea when he last visited the guild.

“Do you have everything you need, lord Amell?” Sebas appeared behind him with his usual calm, almost stoic demeanour.

“Yes, thank you, Sebas. I ask that you take care of this place while I’m gone.”

“Certainly, lord Amell. I would not think of leaving that duty to anyone else.” Sebas performed a slight bow.

“Good. I don’t know how long I will be gone this time, but it shouldn’t be more than a few years.” Amell and Sebas heard the sound of running and Jugo together with Lupus had arrived. Jugo bowed his head to Amell when he arrived, “Master, Lupus and I wish to follow along. Well, I wanted to go alone but she won’t stop nagging me about following along.”

“So, Lupus wants to skip her duties here to keep you safe on your adventures on Ishgar.” At Amell’s words, Sebas glared angerly at Lupus. His intent was evident through his gaze.

“Yes, that’s about it I think.” Jugo didn’t seem awfully worried, but Lupus had her head lowered while glancing up at Sebas.

“hm, fine! I’ll allow it. But Lupus you need to change clothes, you can’t go around looking like a maid.” Amell snapped his fingers and a bright light appeared around her. When it died down her attire had changed. She was now wearing white pants with a short yellow top that showed her stomach. On top of this, she wore a white jacket that stopped right below her butt.

“That looks acceptable! Sebas, call back Nabe to take over Lupus duties. Nabe doesn’t really have to observe her target any longer, I already know enough about his patterns.” Sebas bowed with his hand over his heart.

“I understand, lord Amell. I shall go and tend to that right away. Have a safe flight, my lord!” Sebas walked away and left them alone.

“How was breakfast? Delicious, right?” Amell’s tone was playful and his smile was cheerful.

“Very, I even told Lupus that you should quit that whole God business and become a world-famous chef instead.” Jugo’s words prompt a violent reaction from Lupus as she jumped at him and tried to rip his heart out.

“And I told you not to say things like that again! Lord Amell is not a cook! He is a God, damn it!” Lupus kept wrestling with him, coming dangerously close to actually stealing his heart, for real.

Behind the violent couple, a dangerous killing intent rose up. but it was only aimed at Lupus. “Lupus, I used my utmost effort to make that delicious breakfast for you, and now you say this to my face! Are you looking for death?” He took a step towards him, shaking the entire area around them.

“No, no, I just meant, cooking food for this idiot and this lowly servant is beneath you!” Lupus gestured towards herself and Jugo.

“Hey, who are you calling an idiot? At least I ate the food, you didn’t even take a bite of it.” Jugo’s words caused Lupus to start sweating. Amell’s aura went even darker and he leaned in closer to the terrified maid, “Is my food not good enough for you, Lupus?”

“Haha, not at all, lord Amell. It was too magnificent so I didn’t dare take a bite.” She said in an attempt to avoid a severe beatdown.

Amell leaned away with a smile on his face, “Calm down. I don’t care at all, plus, I didn’t even make that breakfast, Yuri did.” he started laughing when he heard the sound of Lupus’s face meeting her palm.

“You didn’t make it? But we saw you?”

“No, you saw me helping Yuri with the final touches and setting the table. I sent her away when I sensed you two coming out of your room. I did nothing, Yuri did it all. I just wanted to see your faces, and oh boy was it worth it.” Amell’s laughter became louder and he wiped a small tear away from his eye.

“You’re evil, lord Amell,” Lupus said quietly. Jugo just shrugged his shoulders at the revelation, “Good job, master.” he gave Amell a thumbs up.

“Thanks, now, are you two ready to go?”

“Yeah,” They both said, but Lupus sounded a lot more tired than Jugo. She felt she had aged a hundred years in just a couple of hours.

Amell placed a finger on both’s forehead’s and his magic power started to slowly seep into them. Only a few seconds later, they both started floating. Jugo looked over at Amell with curiosity. “What is this?”

“Weightlessness. We are flying over there, so I made you weightless to make this journey easier.” Amell started floating as well. And he waved his finger and commanded the wind to carry them across the sky, and that it did. They were light as a feather and with Amell commanding the wind around them, they travelled at a very fast speed.
