Chapter 133: Party Ti!
All this was an amazing level of crazy. What would happen to the ones hunting Dinsional Legion?
"What kind of prank are you thinking?" Emsee asked with interest.
"How about we give these people what they are hoping for? We'll start recruiting for Dinsional Legion." Josh added, smirking.
"Oh? How so? Are you planning on revealing yourself?"
"Not exactly. They only know how to search for us using the gear, right? All we need is a boatload of epic-looking unknown gear and we'll be set, right?"
"If you are thinking of faking it, forget it. We need real items otherwise, we won't be able to convince anyone. Do you want to use these two White Ghoul sets to try and fool people? I'm doubtful that it would work."
Emcee Hamr was staring at the pile of gear with a frown. To put it plainly…it looked shabby. That was expected of gear made out of withered ghoul skin. It would be hard to fool anyone using it. They would need to start showcasing the set abilities to impress people.
"Hehe, no need to worry about that. I just happen to know a cool guy that can definitely help us with that. We just need to assemble a team of 5 Climbers." Josh reassured.
Josh could already think of a plan he thought could work. Was doing so even worth the effort? Not only would he potentially get rid of an annoying issue but it would also allow him to test so things. Oh, and it would be hella fun!
"Any Climbers? What about the levels?" Emsee inquired.
"Around the sa level as you would be pretty neat, but it doesn't really matter much. Ah, but we need a way to leave the tropolis without too much a commotion, however." Josh instructed.
"I can arrange that. Should I call so friends over?"
"That would be great. Oh yeah, we'll need a vehicle too for a short road trip." Josh requested.
"Roger that."
"Hey, about that. Wouldn't all these people leave soon enough anyway? They will probably get bored in a week maximum, right?" Jayce hesitantly proposed.
"Now, where would the fun be in that, am I right?" Josh grinned.
"For sure."
That's when Emcee sent a few ssages on his UW before giving a thumbs up and flashing a smile. "It has been handled. Now, we wait."
The two of them began eating ice cream, enjoying themselves. anwhile, Jayce kept glancing at them, not sure how to react. How could they act so casually after talking about screwing over so many people?
That's when ca a knock. Then entered a man Josh had talked to before, albeit only shortly. It was Peaceful Joe.
He still had his classy red suit, his red shoes, and his red hair. As he entered, he stared at Josh curiously. "So? Does that an your world domination plan is starting?" He even winked as he said so.
"World domination? Of course not! That will co a little bit later." Josh shrugged.
"No, no. This is a fun plan. We'll be ssing with the people surrounding our guild like hyenas." Emsee added.
"I see..." He awaited an explanation but was only handed so ice cream. Then they kept waiting for the others.
"Another Ranker from Draconic?!" Jayce was murmuring, surprised. For him, Rankers were untouchable beings out of his league.
"Why are you acting surprised? This guy here is our Boss, haha." Emsee replied Jayce as he patted Josh's shoulder in a friendly manner.
"?!?" Jayce was speechless, unsure if that had been a joke or not. Was Zebra from Draconic too?!
The next mber to arrive was a muscular man in a tank top. He looked like a bodybuilder with his hair neatly combed toward the back. He had tanned skin and was wearing jeans. He greeted amicably:
"Hey, Emsee! I got your ssage! What's that about a special mission?" Then he rested his gaze on Josh for a while, wondering what was happening.
"Hey there, AIYA. You'll know soon enough. We are waiting for 1 more." Emsee chuckled.
"One more? Usain or Minor?" AIYA asked.
"Obviously Minor. Usain is still solo running in the Tower. Officially he's working on his 'monster train' skill, but we all know he's just having fun." Emsee shrugged.
"Well, yeah."
"Here, ice cream." Josh shoved so in his hand. No one could refuse ice cream. In fact, Climbing had cured the world's population of lactose intolerance and the likes. #Totally worth dying for!
Then, the last mber arrived. This ti it was a handso young man that was wearing an old school azure robe. Normally anyone wearing that in the modern days would have looked weird. Not him!
"Minor, I'm guessing?" Josh welcod him.
"Yes, but don't be fooled. He's older than !" AIYA answered. Oh wow.
"Greetings, all of you. What are we doing on this beautiful afternoon?" His voice sohow sounded deep yet flowery.
"Does he always talk like that?" Josh couldn't help but remark.
"Only when he's in public. His usual voice is quite funny, to be honest." AIYA rcilessly betrayed him.
"Oh, I see…."
"Cough. Cough. Can we go back to the topic at hand, gentlen? What are we planning today?" Minor brought back the discussion on track. They all turned toward Josh, awaiting his directives.
"Alright, we need to head to tropolis-D. Who wants to drive us there?"
"I can bring us there with my own private vessel." Emcee added.
"Cool, that's settled then." Josh rejoiced.
"So, why exactly do we all need to co?" Minor inquired,.
"We're gonna get cool custom-made gear for all of us." They raised an eyebrow but were tempted.
"So, are we going to et a craftsman?" Joe inquired.
"You could say that. He is a very conscientious and friendly craftsman. The best of the best. He's so aweso his creations are undifferentiable from the ones of the Tower itself!" Josh bragged.
"Seriously?!
"Is this true?!"
"That's a Ranker-level craftsman! "
"Well, of course, if you guys are too busy for it…I don't mind going alone." Josh teased them.
"I'm so free right now! I have way too much ti on my hands!" Joe assured him!
"Only a fool would miss such an opportunity!" Emsee added.
"I'm going no matter what!" AIYA too wanted in with Minor nodding along.
They looked at him in marvel. They trusted he was speaking the truth. They couldn't believe their luck for they would et a hidden master! Making connections was extrely important! Who knew what the future would be like!"
"Alright, team, roll out!" Josh confidently led the way before suddenly stopping.
"What is it?" Joe asked worriedly.
"Eh, I don't really know the way?" Josh admitted nervously.
"Pfff. Follow . I got this." Emsee chuckled.
Before long, they had walked sneakily to so hangar where Emsee took out a literal flying ship. It was silver in color, aerodynamic, and about the size of a small bus.
The interior was cozy, circular, well-lit, and purple sofas surrounded a table in the middle. It reminded Josh of a luxurious break room.
Josh instantly plopped on a sofa, laying his head on a soft cushion. "Ah, this is bliss. Man, how much did this thing even cost?"
Emsee began driving as they exited the City, but he soon switched everything to auto-pilot. It was extrely comfortable, with no movent even being felt at all.
"Oh, you don't want to know how much this thing costs." AIYA chid in.
"Isn't that only because you're broke?" Joe teased him.
"Well, it is expensive, but also worth it. Then again, for us it is enough to hitch a ride haha." Minor comnted.
anwhile, Jayce really didn't know what to do with his body. Rankers surrounded him in an extrely expensive vessel. In fact, he had no clue why he was there in the first place. He had gone from errand boy to decorative bystander.
"Hopefully, we won't get stopped by pirates this ti around," Josh remarked.
"Haha. Please! I hope there are pirates. I'd like to see who dares stop us." AIYA laughed.
"Yes, this type of vessel is enough to fight any run-of-the-mill pirates." Minor added.
"In the old days, there weren't that many guilds with flying vessels. Pirates would stop us, and we'd end up being the ones robbing them. The trick is to sound scared on the communication channels." 'Peaceful Joe' shared.
"Yep, good old days. Rember that ti AIYA took them down by shooting at them?" Emsee chuckled.
"I rember their faces after the crash. They didn't think a bow could be that strong." Joe completed.
Jayce on the side almost choked. Shooting down a flying vessel …with a bow?! Not an energy cannon?! What kind of power was that?!
"So, you guys are usually Climbing together?" Josh asked.
"Yes, that's our normal team. We're just missing Usain, our scout." Emsee answered.
"Yes, cause he's running as usual," AIYA remarked.
"Right, what is everyone's specialty?" Josh inquired.
"I'm the vanguard with my barrier magic, AIYA is our archer, Emsee is our support as a bard, and Joe is our local mad berserker." Minor explained.
Surprisingly, the only guy wearing robes was the vanguard. Where was the heavy armor?! Barrier magic sounded pretty nice. Josh couldn't wait to see it at work. Quite ironic that Peaceful Joe was a mad berserker.
"I'm curious. What's do you think your role would be in a party, Josh?" Minor asked.
"Let see. Probably scout, evasion vanguard, or damage dealer? I'm not sure. Since I'm always Solo, I don't really have a specific role I excel at." Josh admitted.
"Wow. That's really peculiar yet impressive. I do get the feeling you're downplaying it a lot, to be honest." He comnted.
The rest of the ride was mostly filled with mindless chatter. Ti flew by as fast as their vessel. Until:
"Alright, we'll be at tropolis-D soon," Emsee announced.
"Perfect, but you'll want to veer toward D-23. That's our destination." Josh instructed.
"D-23? The Disaster zone?" He showed surprise.
"Yep, that's exactly it." Josh couldn't help but grin thinking about what was to co...
Creator's Thought
It was my first ti actually adventuring with mbers of Draconic. This would also be my first ti partying up. It was a nice change of pace for sure. I was waiting to see their reaction when they would see what I had in store for them haha. Oh, by the side Jayce was already shellshocked. Good thing he had signed that magical NDA agreent.
