***15 CHAPTER MASS RELEASE***

—

“… Ha… wow. You slimy little bugger. That’s fucking smart.” Hanzo chuckled slightly.

Tyr stored the egg, “I have my moments. I am the smartest on this squad after all.”

Hanzo stopped smiling as he heard this. “This squad huh…” He had a face of realization.

“Ultimatum. That name was created by the three who betrayed us, ironically.” Hanzo said with a slightly pitiful tone.

The two began to walk toward the treasure room, that had opened up after they defeated the Dragonewt.

“Then it has to be changed without a question,” Tyr said with a straight face as he walked in front.

“You still want to be a Hunter after that?” Hanzo had a satirical tone.

“From what I can see, Hunter’s are the freest of all the professions. Free to do whatever they want. If there’s anything to be on Subworld, it’s a Hunter. At least, for now.”

“Well… I guess that’s true. Then, start thinking of a name.” Hanzo smiled.

“I already have one in mind… but I’ll bring it up only when the time is right.” Tyr smirked back, a cunning look on his face.

“W-what? Pulled the reverse on me huh… fine. Do what you like.”

The two laughed slightly as they entered the treasure room.

The room was large and clean, filled with numerous pillars that stretched towards the ceiling.

Its walls were made of stone bricks, their prismarine white color giving the chamber a bright and polished appearance.

Scattered throughout were pedestals of various sizes, each holding a collection of intriguing items.

There were aura trinkets, weapons, armor, staffs, wands, capsules, potions, elixirs, rings, mechanical creations, and even some delicate eggs.

Seeing all of this lit up Tyr’s eyes in a golden light.

But unfortuneately for him, he couldn’t steal these like he could with the Dragonewt egg.

He sighed, “At the end of the day, the Dragonewt egg might be more valuable than all of this shit. So it is what it is I guess.”

Tyr grabbed all of the items using the spare ring Hanzo had received from Prince Michel for this mission.

After that, they walked to the back of the room, which had a glowing circular light blue Aura on the floor. Above it floated a transparent, wispy spike of Aura.

As they walked above it, they were instantly transported to the very top of the surface.

Coincidentally, it was right in front of Michel’s little house.

He was still outside under his umbrella, sipping on a coconut drink when he saw the two suddenly appear in front of him.

He had sunglasses on, which he quickly took off–revealing his widened eyes.

“What took you guys so long!? And where are the others?”

“They died,” Hanzo said directly, walking right to Michel.

Tyr furrowed his brows slightly, ‘Whats he doing? Why the sudden aggressive tone?’ He questioned but trusted Hanzo enough to not intervene.

“Here’s your shit.” Hanzo abruptly unleashed all of the treasures on the floor from the ring.

Michel’s guard went and collected it all.

“W-what’s with the tone! Back up you worm! Or do you want your head gone!?” Michel shouted with a slightly nervous tone.

However, his guards stepped forward, “Please… Lord Michel. Let him be. He has lost friends today. It is obvious from his tone… such unfortunate things have happened to me during my missions as well.”

Hanzo felt a wave of relief wash over him as he heard this. ‘Great… now we don’t have to explain what happened inside.’

Michel backed off, “F-fine… I suppose you are spared. Humph!” He pompously exclaimed, turning his head to the side.

The guard then took out a scroll, walked to Hanzo, and asked a bunch of questions about the dungeon.

Hanzo answered truthfully, passing all of the lie detection.

The same was the case for Tyr.

The final question was: “Did you take the Drake egg within the dungeon?”

Tension rose slightly between Hanzo and Tyr as they heard this.

“No,” Tyr replied.

But then, the guard said: “Care to elaborate? The scroll isn’t sure if you are lying or telling the truth.”

At that moment, Both Hanzo and Tyr panicked slightly.

“I swear by all the Gods and Mother Gaia, I have not taken an egg I know to be the Drake egg or any other egg within the treasure room.”

Hanzo smiled as he heard Tyr say this, ‘He avoided saying any other egg in the entire dungeon. Smart bugger.’

The scroll lit up in a yellow hue, proving Tyr was telling the truth.

He took a sigh of relief after this.

“Let’s get going.” The guard said, entering the carriage.

Both Tyr and Hanzo looked at each other breifly before making their way into the carriage as well.

This mission had been quite the journey.

*

As their carriage left, Tyr and Hanzo spoke about what to do next in life. What their goals were…

All that Hanzo wanted was a good, simple like before this. But understanding Tyr’s immense ambitions, he decided to change his route.

“I don’t know that overly ambitious goal of mine yet… but I’ll follow you around, Tyr. You seem like a person who is interesting to have in my life.”

These words were very meaningful to Tyr.

“Despite what I say, even I haven’t found that one amazing dream yet. The one that far surpasses the others. The one that is solid, one that will satisfy me. Up until then, I would love to have you by my side.” The young teen replied as the two made a promise to themselves that day.

Hearing these inspiring words, the guard driving the carriage couldn’t help but look back behind his shoulder: ‘I was once like them too… but something tells me that they will acend, unlike most others. Light is usually swallowed by the darkness, but the ember of the Gods can burn even the most horrible void of pitch black darkness of the most powerful demons.’

*One day later…*

On top of the highest mountain soaring above Mycopolis, Tyr, Hanzo, and Malon stood before a giant roaring fire.

The mountain overlooked the entire kingdom and biome of mushrooms. It was a beautiful sight to see as the orange sun rose over the horizon far away–casting its thick rays upon the earth.

Tyr wiped his tears, having mourned for Jonas for the last time.

“You were strong… and taught me a lot of things.” He began to say as he stared into the fire, “I will repay you one day through my own actions… and never forget you until the day I die. That way, you will live on in our memories.”

Malon and Hanzo stared at Tyr as he said this.

Malon couldn’t help but feel horrible about what had happened.

“Guys, I know it isn’t my turn to speak on the matter… but I know that he didn’t die for nothing. I will pray he enters the greatest of afterlifes…”

A long moment of silence ensued, as all three standing on that mountain suddenly felt a powerful gust of air almost throw them off the cliff.

Hanzo chuckled slightly after this, staring into the sky.

“Jonas… even after your death, you don’t want people crying for you huh?” Hanzo said, Tyr and Malon staring at him with confusion.

“Fine then… it’s over now, Tyr, Malon. Instead of being sad, lets celebrate Jonas entering the kingdom of Heaven! Hahaha!” Hanzo said, bursting into a laugh with his eyes closed.

Tyr paused, staring at the sky, ‘You would want us to be happy…’

“Hahaha! To future adventures!” Tyr raised his fist. Hanzo did the same.

Finally, Tyr looked at Malon, “Raise your fist, you fool. I have an antidote for your father…”

Malon felt a surge of excitement and eagerness swell up within him as a smile played on his lips. He threw his fist into the air.

“R-really!? Then… to future adventures!”

And just like that, the three spent the night on that mountain, drinking to their heart’s content and falling fast asleep.
