And so, I charge towards the heavily armoured paladin equipped with my vampiric blade and readying a powerful charged tornado attack in the other hand. Swiftly releasing it towards him, it lands but looks to barely do anything. It actually looks like this guy might be completely resistant to fire.

'Petra was right, that basically did nothing but twenty points'
This fight is going to be difficult if charged attacks basically do nothing, at least it's interesting to know fire does in fact do damage. Maybe there's a workaround there but not too sure just yet.

'Of course, you read my mind'
While I'm preparing for my next attack, it seems whatever the stationary cha was planning is now ready to go. Aiming out his chanical arm, an attached crossbow looking device starts to shoot out projectiles.
'Hang on... are those fucking missiles!?'
Easily managing to dodge the first few on the ground, without even thinking about it I change my approach once I see that they have an explosive effect upon impact. I open back up my wings and try to avoid the incoming explosives and luckily enough manage to get out of the way of any of the incoming shots. That was way too close for comfort though.
This is so fucking dumb but enough complaining, I've got to deal with this guy but those explosive arrows on his arm really make things difficult. Without having wings right now, these would be nearly impossible to avoid, I can definitely see why Petra struggled a little. She doesn't have the benefit I have when it cos to having wings and arms, I also couldn't see her power kicking this guy to death as well. She's way too graceful for that sort of thing and I could definitely see myself stubbing a talon or two doing that.
"Trying to fly about will not save you from redemption sinner!"
Again, I'm still flying about trying to avoid getting hit at all costs, it's a good thing the sun is currently setting behind otherwise I could see him landing a shot or two. It must be blinding him slightly, it's either that or his aim is shit. Could be both but I've already made enough terrible aim references for one day.
After that first barrage of attacks has finished, he seems to be out of ammo and needs to quickly reload. Knowing I have a chance, I rapidly descend flying head first into the path of the white armoured cha and slash my blade towards him while gliding past. That would've looked baddass but all I want to do is rip this guy's throat out right now.
The impact from aspect never leaves anything to be desired so the cha finds itself being tossed back a slight distance away. Unfortunately, he gets straight back up nearly instantly making question my life choices.
"Whoa... that's the second one of those attacks you two creatures have tried now, it's always a mystery how God allows such power to fall into unworthy hands but his will shall never be questioned"
'Thought that wouldn't fucking work, status again'

'Exactly five thousand... say Aesa, you think his resistances are around ninety percent? At least minimum wise, I've never known my magic to be that low so it must be varied... this is going to be a right grind now, I wonder if that could wor-'

'I got so caught up in that battle... completely forgot about all that'
Once again having such an oddly designed levelling system really is weird, not that I'm complaining though. Now, I'm going to have way too much to buy but judging how bad that last battle could've gone, I may need it. Anything additional may be of so help, just hopefully I don't end up with too many AoE attacks again.
While I'm conversing with Aesa still heading back, it appears I've accidently pissed soone off a little.
"Heh... can't believe you're more interested in Aesa than right now Ikarus, you even just looked away"
Petra's actually pouting!? Look, I thought she was looking at like that but still, can we really kiss while I'm carrying her sorry ass back into town?
"Don't look at like that! If we start kissing right now, it won't be a quick peck and I'll probably fall over carrying yo-"
And like the devil she is especially when it cos to kissing, she makes her move without giving a chance to defend myself especially considering my arms are both in use... damn, they never get old even if she's already stopped.
"Heh, looks like you were wrong Ikarus"
"Y-Yeah... can we just go back now?"
"Heh, sure..."
__________
"Erm, Petra... why are people looking at us funny?"
"Heh... could be that you're still holding Ikarus, could be your wings are still out or even the dragon that's currently flying above us. The only thing missing from this scene is Zeki being in phoenix form as well"
"Do I seriously have to switch form sis? I've had a long day of killing and I want to chill now"
"She was being sarcastic kid"
Having just returned from the docks, we've just so happened to bump into Zeki and are now in the main square of the town. It looks like the attacks on every side have died down and what's left is a forming crowd with strange looking eyes all glaring in our general direction. Ah, can't forget about Mute being with us as well, didn't bother asking if she had a human form since I really couldn't care about secrecy right now.
Should I address the crowd or sothing? No one else seems to be saying anything.
"Erm... is everyone just going to stare at us like we're strangers or sothing? You can't all be seriously scared of a dragon looking at what just happened"
...
Still no response from the crowd, I guess it's not the dragon then. Apparently, Zeki actually holds the answer for my questioning right now.
"You really are sothing orangey, that ain't fear they've got in their eyes. That's awe, fear is soo much better though but after what you two just did, it should be pretty obvious why'd they look like that"
If what Zeki says is true, why are they all quiet then? Just as I'm about to leave and go see if we can find Ariza, two people from the crowd finally speak up.
"So... the battle is finally over?"
"We actually managed to defeat the church!?"
Then like it was prepared, the entire town slowly starts to roar in cheers from these two setting it off. Ikarus dot executable isn't working right now? Is beating those fanatics that celebration worthy?
"I don't get it Petra... aren't we the cause of all this?"
The atmosphere in our town has just gone mad, there isn't an ounce of hatred towards us and it's astonishing . If we had hidden the gay thing, then this entire attack could've been avoided. There must've been loads of causalities from our side in that battle so those deaths should be aid at us, right? Maybe I'm just being an idiot.
"Heh, you're asking soone who leaves after saving the day Ikarus. This is brand new to as well"
So, I'm not the only one this clueless on this then. At least everything is over now, I guess.
"Let's find a place to relax, then get a bite to eat..."
__________
Okay... rember that cliché I've said I hate multiple tis already? The one about the entire settlent guiding around Petra cooking them a al? That's basically co partially true...
See, obviously at the mont the settlent is similar to the aftermath of a warzone so trying to find an inn or restaurant that's currently serving food is impossible. After I suggested about food, the entire crowd basically surrounded us and decided we must celebrate and eat with them. The darkness has already fallen yet the celebrations have only just started, it would be nice except I still don't like being the centre of attention especially in a large crowd.
At the very least, they refused Petra cooking for them since she couldn't help offering so the cliché wasn't completely the sa but they answered saying the idea of having one of the two queens doing such a thing is absurd! I really, really am starting to dislike how that's becoming an unironic thing now but I'll just accept it since it's not like I'm going to argue with a crowd of drunk and happy people. Queen Ikarus and Queen Petra people, sighhh...
Ah yeah, the alcohol has been brought out while we wait for this huge cooking pot powered by a bonfire to be ready but it's basically done now, I think? I'm not really focused on that right now though, sothing else just happened as well.
Garry the gno happened to pass by while doing sothing else and gave us a quick update on so things. The fighting has now obviously completely ended; Ariza was working overti and now needs a long rest since the worst injuries have been sorted, Penelope and Marcus are already organizing the cleanup and the mine is back to work as well. It's almost as if nothing's happened except that the streets have the odd corpse loitering around and the coast, well that's just a complete ss of ships.
So... that basically leaves us being the figureheads of everything sitting back relaxing while everyone else is working or fixing things with the celebrating crowd, it's almost as if this is what I wanted but was it? Ah, I don't care about having too many duties anymore. As long as I'm with Petra, nothing else even matters. Heck, she's still on my lap even now but I'm focusing on sothing else again.
'Heh... looks like Mute has been given responsibility of all the kids'
A bunch of kids are using Mute the dragon as a climbing fra right now and it looks like she's loving the attention. There's gonna be a day where any type of species can remain on these islands with no issues whatsoever and we may already be there especially considering the reaction the navy-blue Mute. No one even looks afraid of her in the slightest. While my father and mother might be a step too far for the average joe, I bet Minos would be fine now.
"Say ah Ikarus"
"Huh?..."
While I wasn't paying attention, it just so happened we got the first bowl of this completed stew the people made and Petra with her infinite wisdom decides she has to feed now. Normally, I just suck it up and power through but this ti, it's a little different. I know I can't do it myself since she still won't get off my lap even while we're on this bench.
"...Urgh, must you Petra? There's literally a crowd watching us right now!"
I'm going to throw sothing at the onlookers in a minute! Stop looking at us in awe! Petra's being cutesy right now and you're just putting off my stew doing sothing like this!
"Heh, why do you think I'm doing it Ikarus? Everyone gets to see you blush"
"Urgh, you're terrible at tis... that good enough?"
As soon as I accept my fate and sip from the spoon, the crowd watching us decide to give us loads of cheers. It doesn't help Petra teases enough yet the crowed are cheering her on! This entire island is against and I'm going down the evil route if this is my fate.
"Nope... we've got the entire bowl to get through first"
"*Sighhh*... you're lucky I love you so much"
"Heh, as do I... now co on, have so more"
Still watching on while I'm being force fed by my girlfriend, this island is full of weirdos...
'It's obvious the people have chosen a favourite queen... this stew is pretty good though...'
