I Became A Zompirewolf

Chapter 375 Meeting A Goddess... Figuratively (2)

The next day...

Everyone remaining on the tower had gathered at the landing port located at the top of the tower. This port was only used for two kind of individuals, one was the lord of the tower and the second was for special guests.

Ashton had not seen who the Lord was, since he was an S-grader, his strength in the galaxy would be unimaginable. Even so, the guest arriving right now wasn't important enough for the Lord to show himself. That's why Mazton was the one waiting for Eula to step out of her ship to greet her.

As for the mercenaries, they were standing right behind Mazton so that Eula could be introduced to them as soon as possible. It didn't matter whether it was Vimur, Avvo or anyone else, all of them were excited to meet Eula.

How could they not be? Her succubus race itself was enough to make her popular in the galaxy, but her acting was even better. Yes, she was an actress and a singer, her mesmerising beauty and voice were more than enough for anyone to make her fall in love with her.

Ashton was pretty sure she had an ability or something that made everyone around her fall for her. After all, all succubi had similar abilities. That was probably the reason the guys were ready to kill other just to get a glimpse of her.

Everyone except Mazton and the robots was on their toes to greet her and get a close look at her beauty. Well, Ashton was an exception as well. He did not know nor cared about who she was and why was she so popular among the crowd.

For him, she was just a client to protect and a bait to lure out the enemies... possibly the phantom himself. Nothing else mattered to him as long as he could get his hands on him. As for his team, well, they weren't so keen on getting close to him either. Especially after what happened the previous that.

That's why rather than being in front and welcoming Eula like the rest of them, Ashton decided to hand back and observe everyone. Doing so also served the purpose of keeping them under his radar called [Detection].

He had already used it on the ones from the Tower's side, now he merely had to check the ones who got off the ship with Eula.

[Don't keep on abusing the skill so frequently. [Detection] might not consume mana but it can cause you mental strain making it difficult for you to focus.]

'I'm part undead. The thing called 'mental strain' doesn't exist for me.'

[I really can't with you... fine do whatever you like.]

'I wasn't asking for your permission, but thanks anyways.'

While Ashton was busy scanning the area for suspicious activity, the hatch of the 20 million Yenos worth spaceship opened up and out of it walked an armada. It would seem Eula had her own security with her.

Ashton looked at her security and wondered why would she even need the help of the mercenary association if she had so many guards on her. Ashton quickly went ahead and scanned the soldiers and realise why she needed more security.

They only had numbers and advanced weapons. Nothing else. Their stats, skills, level, everything about them was trash. A hundred C-grade soldiers with a handful of B-graders. It almost felt as if they were fresh graduates from some sort of police academy.

On the other hand, the team assembled by Mazton were all B-graders. Not to mention, as mercenaries, they also had ample combat experience on top of skills that were more useful than theirs.

Sadly, that did not stop them from behaving like assholes who had some authority over the mercenaries. The moment they walked out of the spaceship, they pushed everyone except Mazton away.

Everyone was a bit taken aback by their behaviour but stayed silent because Mazton had not said a word to them. The mercenaries looked like they were about to chew the brains of these moron soldiers, but remained calm.

'What did they expect them to do?' Ashton thought to himself, 'The guards have to be cautious. They pushed every back because they don't know them and also to protect their employer. For all they cared, one of us could be the phantom.'

[Still, pushing everyone back like they were a bunch of animals was a bit harsh. You can't deny that.]

'It might be, but it was the correct thing to do.'

Once everyone had settled down and the soldiers had established a perimeter around the spaceship, another hatch opened up and Eula walked out of there. After seeing her photographs, Ashton had said Anna was far more beautiful than her, but now that he could see her in front of him, the matchup didn't seem as one-sided as it did before.

In his eyes, Anna was still more attractive than Eula but he couldn't deny that even Eula wasn't short when it came to beauty. her face was covered with a veil, but even that couldn't hide her mysterious yellow eye from making her spectators' hearts flutter.

She wasn't alone either. Four beautiful faces closely tread behind her. According to the reports, all four of them were Eula's consorts and belonged to the race of Scalvi, creatures that had the ability to change their gender upon will.

Eula gracefully walked up to Mazton and bowed in front of him. All of her soldiers and consorts followed her lead to show respect to the Admiral.

"Great Admiral of the Kernel Tower, please accept my gratitude for helping me out in such dire times," Eula mumbled while her eye was fixated on Mazton's feet, "I will never forget your kindness till the day I take my last breath."

"I hope that day comes a long time after I take a step through the hell's doors." Mazton smiled as they raised themselves, "If there's anyone you should thank, it's these people. They are the ones who will be protecting you from now on."

Saying so, Mazton quickly introduced everyone to Eula and then it was finally Ashton's turn, "And last but not least, I'd like you to meet Reaper. He's our newest recruit but someone whom I deeply respect. I have no doubts he would be the best mercenary who would have your back during this trip."
