15 Maid Attack Part 1 (1/2)

Dark Lord of Tartarus

***

Outside of the mansion, under the sun of the afternoon, the maids were standing by with the guardians. The guardians were all battle ready, some were wearing their full set of armor, equipped their gears and holding their weapons. They were all lined up on the right flank of the paved pathway in front of the double doors.

The Hyades Maids were on the left flank of the paved pathway in front of the double doors all lined up and standing straight. The guardians and the maids were waiting for their master to come out.

After a minute of standby, the double door opened and the man of darkness came out of it. He was wearing a different trench coat than before, this time it was a more amazingly designed and embellished hooded trench coat, some parts of the arms, shoulder, and body has several markings and linings and were glowing in a neon blue color. Then he was wearing black clothing inside the coat, then black pants and black boots.

The guardians and the maids were surprised and enchanted by the sight, their master looked so good – no, good was not enough to describe their master's form.

”My lord, you look so magnificent.”

”You think so? Thank you, Criswell.”

”I'm unworthy of your thanks, I was merely stating the truth.”

”You indeed look so magnificent my lord, and at the same time so majestic.”

Everyone agreed on Adrasteia's words.

”Hmm.” Their master said while pulling his coat to adjust. ”Now then, it looks like everyone is ready, are you?”

Everyone responded in affirmative.

”All right then. Firstly…”

Their master walked forward near the guardians.

Their master held out his hand and red masks with black linings appeared out of thin air floating on his hand and there were four of them.

”The guardians, who don't have anything to cover their visage, use these masks and wear them before we set out.”

The masks floated to Adrasteia, Brutus, Agiel, and Xelya, and they accepted them.

Then their master shifted his eyes to the maids and walked near them.

”Aesyla, Ambrosia and Mira.”

”Yes.” The three said in unison and stepped forward.

”You know what to do, right?”

The three responded in affirmative.

”Good. Destroy everything there when you're done and most of all, let none survive.”

”Understood.” The three said.

Then their master extended his hand to his side and cast a spell.

”[Gate]”

Then a dark blue round object appeared out of nowhere, it was a portal.

He cast the spell ”Teleportation Gate”, but he shortened it to ”Gate” because there are a lot of syllables when including the word ”Teleportation”. The spell conjures a portal that can teleport anyone who goes through it. The Gate spell is a lot more accurate and more useful than the spell [Teleportation].

”Go.”

”Yes. We won't fail you, my lord.” Aesyla said.

”I know you won't.”

Then their master summoned Rock Golems and Greater Skeleton Warriors.

After that Aesyla, Ambrosia and Mira stood up and went inside the gate.

There were three men on top of a watchtower. One of them sat on a chair inside.

”Haaaah, I'm tired. It's boring that we are just standing here all the time with nothing else to do but guarding, nothing's even happening.”

One of the men approached the man who is sitting.

”Don't be like that, at least the pay was good.”

”I guess you're right, this is better than doing a load of work and gain few. But still, this is boring.”

”Still you can't just slack off. Have you forgotten someone sneaked in without us noticing and stole a load of crystals, because of that we didn't get our pay that month, and we also almost got fired. So be on guard.”

”Yeah yeah. But currently we have those military guys also on guard, so I think we would be fine if we slack off a little, just make sure we won't get caught.”

”Maybe you're right. But don't overdo it.”

”Of course.” The guard looked at the surroundings. ”It got suddenly dark.”

The second guard turned his head and looked to the sky.

”It looks like it's about to rain, seems to be a strong one. But that was quick, it was just sunny, strange.”

”Maybe climate change?”

”Hehe, yeah maybe…”

”…Hey, I just heard that there was an attack on Yusorga yesterday.”

”Really? Hmmm, so that's why they sent some military here. How are things there?”

”Well, I heard the defense was a victory. The enemy was annihilated.”

”Woah, that's great to hear! Then that means they're safe.”

”Yeah, they are. But I heard something strange.”

”Strange? What's strange?”

”Well, it's that… I heard they were attacked by monsters.”

”Monsters? You're kidding?”

”No I'm not. That's what I heard. I heard them say there were armored skeletons using swords as weapons and some wolves that breath fire and so on.”

”Yeah right. Monsters. You sure they were serious while talking?”

”Yeah, the way the reporter talked on the radio sounds serious, of course, the soldiers didn't seem to believe at first but later on they seem they did.”

”But still, that's something not believable.”

”Yeah.”

”But do you believe it?”

”Hmmm, I don't know really. Do you?”

”Do I look like I believe it?”

The guard peered on to the man's face.

”Hmmm, yup, you don't seem to believe.”

”Then you're right, I don't. Monsters attacking are not exactly believable. Hell, there are even no other creatures but only humans and animals. What? Is it like demons or angels are just going to appear out of nowhere? There are no other creatures but hum—.”

”GUYS MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT! THEY'RE… THEY'RE…”

The third guy on the tower suddenly shouted.

The two guards then quickly went to the side of the one who shouted.

”What?! What are they?!” The second guard said.

”Monsters?” The first guard said.

”No they're…”

”What are they?”

The second guard asked and grabbed the third guard's shoulder then pulled it. However, the guard kept his eyes on his small binoculars.

”They're… Be… Be… Beautiful.”

”HAAAAAAH?!” Both the guards said.

Confused, the two guards quickly looked to where the third guard was looking and there they saw three figures.

They narrowed their eyes for the figures were a few distances away. The three figures were walking like they were taking a stroll on the unpaved road.

As the figures got closer to them, they finally got to see a lot more of them.

”Are they wearing a maid uniform?” The first guard asked.

”Yeah they are. But, there seem to be some metal plates on their uniforms.” The second guard said.

When the women got near the gates, everything was now clear. The eyes of the two guards widened in the sight.

”They're beautiful, no, they're so beautiful.”

”I… agree on that.”

The three ladies on maid uniforms were so beautiful, they have never seen any woman that beautiful. No woman seen in fashion shows can be compared to these goddesses. One could think when someone sees those beautiful maids ”Where have you been my entire life?”

No other beautiful women they met their entire life could hope to beat those maids. Not even the ones who joined the worldwide fashion show or even the whores in the brothels can match their beauty.

”… Look the military guys are approaching them.” The second guard said.

”Why would they point their guns at those beautiful goddesses?” The third guard said.

”That's not how you get a lady.” The first guy said.
