>>976116
Yeah, you might as well get out of here and do your favorite past time, Martial Art Training and Weight Lifting. You're not dubbed the Fittest Bishop for nothing.

As you head out of the ceremony room, a familiar voice called you over.

"Not even a congratulations for your old friend?"

The freshly promoted Arch-Bishop steps closer to you.

"Looks like I got ahead of you again now huh?

Arch-Bishop. Been a hard journey to get here. You better catch up soon or we won't be rivals anymore huh Wil?"

Fraudrick, your acquaintance going back since the days in the orphanage gloats about his new promotion. As far as you can remember, he's always considered you his rival. Last time you got promoted into a Bishop faster than he did, so maybe that's why he's been so desperately climbing up the chain of commands lately.

"Oh don't fret Wil, actually the Pope asked me to call you to his quarters just now.

Maybe he'll have a new mission for you so you can get promoted?

Make sure to stop by his room later alright? Afterall, it won't be fun if you're not keeping up with me, hahaha!"

With that, Frau left with observable pride obtained from getting ahead of you this time.

>>976125
The gardens are on the way to the Pope's quarters, so you figured you might as well stop over to pray and maybe do a little training as well.

You arrived at the church's indoors flower garden. The graves looks like it has already been tended to today. On the other side, you see the wooden post you use to practice your martial arts.

Come to think of it, what was the martial arts you are most well versed in again?

>>976149
CQC

>>976163
Ah yes, your own kingdom's military close quarter combat techniques. Fast, brutal, effective. Taught to you by a Paladin acquaintance of yours long ago.

You strike the wooden post several times. The flurry of strikes reverberates through the pole.

After you're done working up a sweat, you sit down and pray for the souls resting in the graves. Whether the bodies are actually buried under them is irrelevant.

Finished with your activities, you head over to the Pope's chambers. While you're there, you might as well make a report.

You think he might be happy to hear that last week you've managed to ______________

>>976194
Convert some heathens.

You give the large, ornamented door a knock, then enter the Pope's chamber.

"Please, raise your head my son."

The pope cuts your curt bow short.

"How are you faring Wiliam?"

>>976199
You tell him that you are in great form. Why, just last week you've managed to convert some heathens into the Church's side. You are getting better at preaching the holy teachings onto the masses.

The pope praised you with a warm smile, like a father would his child. After all, it is him who took you, and many other Priests out of the orphanage to become his children.

"Wiliam, you are doing our order good. Never have you failed me. I am very proud of you my son.

And so, I will entrust you to go on another mission for me.

There is a Demon rumored to have taken residence in the mountain to the northwest. Would you do me the favor of slaying it and taking its Energy? You would be saving the people in the villages around the mountains at the same time so I think it would be a respectable endeavor yes?

Please depart tomorrow, I wish you luck my son."

You give the father a nod and exits his room.

Looks like your mission is now to journey to the mountains in the Northwest and slay the demon which calls it home. There are many things to prepare for the journey, but you also must make sure you have plenty of rest.

Should you make sure your Holy Weapon is in good condition? Pack up plenty of supplies? Gather information about the region you are heading to? Retreat to your quarters early to rest? Or something else entirely?

>>976249

Can we summon a angel?

You were never very good with summoning magic, but it won't hurt to try right? Might get you some help for your journey ahead.

You pray and feel a Energy concentrating before you.

Out of nowhere, appears before you a glowing figure. You did it!

....

Oh. Oh no wait this is just a Failed-Angel. Not even a humanoid one at that.

....

Oh. Oh good. It's retarded too.

This is why you stuck to body enhancement magic instead.

What do you do?

>>976316
>Enpower it with children's love of puppies.

>>976316

Aaaaww...! But still.... it is cute! Pet it!!!

>>976316

>>976381
Well...you suppose it is SOMEWHAT cute. You pet it while also trying to enhance it with your body-enhancing magics. Maybe it'll turn out stronger and will be of help to you?

......

Oh. Oh no. Only the head got an upgrade. Now it can't even lift its own head.

And it's still retarded. Well it did get stronger, it managed to rip apart your Holy Robes now. You truly are the best at body-enhancing magic. Congratulations.

>>976391
You entertain the thought. Unfortunately, the Main Church of the Holy Order is quite secluded. The closest village is also on the opposite direction of your destination.

>>976493
You head to your room to pack up supplies and also change the robes that have been ripped apart. You de-summon the Failed Angel for now so your new robes won't be immediately ripped apart as well.

Dried food, water, clothes, medicines....is there anything else you're missing? You can't think of anything but you keep your Suitcase open for now just in case.

What next?

A relative has unexpectedly passed away. Update will be slow while I deal with that, sorry.

>>977567
Take a moment of silence and pray for OP's relative's eternal soul.

Then watch some ninjutsu videos to improve you martial arts.

You pray again for the lost souls in these dark times of the kingdom, and also for the safety of your upcoming journey.


You browse your bookshelves to find your Martial Arts of the Eastern Elves; Basics you got from a travelling merchant.

The technique is unique in that it uses a Staff as its main weapon of choice. It also integrates offensive magics into its moves. How very peculiar.
It is too bad that your weapon of choice isn't a staff, but it's very interesting to read through nonetheless.

Who wrote this thing anyway?

"Comprehensive basics of Eastern Elven martial arts technique all in one book!

Guaranteed to make you a Master in only 200 pages!

Believe me!"

Okay that just sounds sketchy and lame.


What do you do?

>>977963
Read and adapt the combat tech with your cqc

>>978072
You figured you could still adapt the techniques to work with your cqc and Holy Hammer so you gave it a go.

Your moves flowed and chained into one another, each blow shakes the air.

Then, you finish your series of moves with a crack of offensive magic, integrated into your moves naturally just like the book taught you to.

It worked! The combo came out with a decisive blow of energy.

You achieved 10% mastery of the Eastern Elves combat technique.

.....

Oh and there goes the wall.

You can hear Frau's curses and yells from the next room.

What do you do?

>>978377
Return to quarters to rest up for the trip. But read up on the region for a bit before bed.

"What the fuck were you thinking?!

Are you mad that I got ahead of you?! Sure I get that, but I was expecting a fair fight damnit! Not my room getting blown out of nowhere!"

You apologize to Fraudrick and tell him it's just a coincidence that you blew your room's wall open and that his room happened to be next to yours.

Frau went back to his side of the wall and closed the hole shut with his specialty, Earth Magic.

>>978512
You read up some books about the Serenian mountains. Being the tallest and vastest mountainous regions in Serenia, it is extremely cold there. You pack some winter clothings to solve that problem.

Today's newspapers also tell of a rather alarming rumors about the area. It seems the Rebel Group have been spotted there. Rebels opposing the kingdom have been getting bolder lately with the rumored addition of a new commander on their side.

You went to get some rest. Trying to ignore the sizzling smell of the charred wall.

............

You wake up early in the morning. After getting dressed, you check your supplies one last time. Is there anything else that's missing or needs to be done? Or should you depart right away?

>>978868

Let see if we can get some potions like healing and other useful stuff. And maybe some holy waters too unless we already have it.

>>978868
Maybe clean the char and debris from your room. Consider it training and teaching to respect yourself by ensuring a good environment.

>>978868
Masturbate on the floor, get Frau attention; scream at the top of your lungs and blame it on him to authorities/ those above you.

>>979138
re-roll.

>>979015
Now that's an idea. Let's pack some potions and Holy Water just in case.

You packed 3 Potions of Healing and 5 Holy Waters into your suitcase.

>>979070
Yeah, you should clean up your room before leaving. Not sure how long you'll be gone, so better not leave it in a messy state.

.....

The walls are now shiny and clean!
...apart from the huge crack, but nothing you can do about that.

Finally, you depart for your destination.

You'll need to stop by the village on the base of the mountains on the other side first to gather information and resupply after the journey there before you could climb up and kill the Demon.
There are two ways you can reach the village:

Cut through the mountain range itself, over the steeper climbs

or

Circle the mountain range, cutting through a forest

What will you do?

>>979141
>>979149
I don't think you're rolling right, but I already finished sketching by the time I saw your post anyway so I couldn't take it into account.

>>979156
Our training and fighting style doesnt exaclty favor mountains. Go thru the woods.

>>979156
>The woods
Convert some satyrs if we can.

>>979273
You decide to take the Forest path.

>>980911
Hmm, yes... The goat people are quite rare in these areas but according to hearsay some still hides in the furthest depths of the woods.

The Father seems to be very avert to the idea of having beast races counted among the High Order though. Calling them "failures" and such.
You're not too sure why though. If you had your way, you'd convert everyone you can. After all, is it not the point of a religion to guide everyone in the same path of faith?
If only Father would explain his disdain for the beast races, we could have so much more believers worshiping the Old Gods together...

.......

You notice some disturbance among the bushes.

........

Ah, no Satyrs, but some Wolf Ducks did come to accompany you.
Don't think they'd be able to comprehend the holy virtues though.

You summon your Holy Hammer and prepare for battle.

What's the plan of action?

>>982976
>Summon our angel pup to distract them and hit the left one with our hammer

>>982976
>Allow them to accompany us on our holy quest.

>>984411
They don't seem friendly.

>>984483
>some Wolf Ducks did come to accompany you.
these words are canon.

>>984641
>>984641
I think he means they follow you as in you're prey. If they were friendly then I don't think we would have summoned our hammer.

>>984659
This is correct, yes.

>>983183
You call for your Failed-Angel companion, and it answered by leaping right into action, lunging straight at the Wolf Duck to the right.

Seeing the opportunity, you swing your Holy Hammer straight into the skull of the Wolf Duck to the left. The impact shakes the air.

The Wolf Duck that kissed your hammer with its face is completely immobilized, surges of Holy Energy disables its body.

You believe in not doing any more damage than is necessary to your opponent*, so your Holy Hammer has a unique attribute that paralyzes enemies that you struck with it.

*turn a blind eye to the massive amount of blunt trauma due to the initial impact

On the other hand, you see that your pet is swallowing the other one whole. Its maw munching away while the body drooped lazily, too small to drag its own head.
Despite how retarded the thing is, you suppose it is still a Failed-Angel after all. Its strength is unquestionable.

The last Wolf-Duck snarls with might and anger. Seems like this one is the leader of the three, his body looks a bit larger. Perhaps this one is of the Greater Wolf Duck variety?

No matter, you will dispatch it nonetheless.

The question is, how should you do so?
Really sorry for the very scarce updates, still mourning and the funeral process takes a long time.

Your Failed-Angel barks loudly, signaling an attack.

Though the actual deed is just it trying to drag its head along towards the Wolf Duck. It scuttles along backwards, looking really ridiculous. You guess the only way to use this Failure of a summon is to just throw it mouth first towards unsuspecting enemies.

Fortunately, the ridiculous antics of your pet still bewilders the WolfDuck. Not letting this opportunity go, you quickly circles the careless Wolf Duck.

With one big smash to the back of the head, the Wolf Duck stopped moving. Probably forever. Not because of the effect of your Holy Hammer, but probably because you hit a critical nerve in its brain. You monster.

Well that was easy. You expected a tougher fight from that Greater Wolf-Duck.

......

!!!
A sharp half-quack-half-howl immobilizes you.

Oh.
Now THAT's a Greater Wolf-Duck. Guess that one earlier just had an extended growth spurt.

What do you do?

Thanks for understanding Anon, and sorry to hear that.

>>986393
We know some light magic, right?
>Cast a bolt of light at it while the pup goes its neck
Might as well use its main stregth.

Grapple duck's bill with cqc and shove hammer into its maw. Holy magic the shit out if it.

You swing the pupper and launches it jaw first towards the beast. Right after, you cast a bolt of light at the Wolf Duck, hoping a simultaneous attack will do it in.

The Fuck easily dodges the bolt of light. HAYAI !!!
Fortunately, the doggo manages to latch onto its shoulder, bite unrelenting.

>>986840
Seeing the opportunity, you jump and latches onto the beast's head, grappling the fuck out of it.
When it quacks out with surprise, you shoves your Holy Hammer into its mouth.

A crackle of Energy reverberates through the air, the shock travels through every inch of the monster's body.

For a second, the beast stays still. Dazed by the powerful blast.
Then, with a flash of power, it bites down. Hard.

CRACK. SNAP. You feel excruciating pain shot up throughout your arm.
Luckily it didn't cut it clean off, but the bones and flesh halfway down the forearm are definitely out. You can't underestimate a Wolf Duck's bite after all.

Though your hammer seems to be unscathed. The beast spits it out with an angry growl and sets its eye on you again.

You're down an arm for now, and your doggo is still munching away at the monster's fur. Though it just ignores it, probably due to the adrenaline of being singed halfway near death. What do you do?

>>986843
Hardware wise I use a Surface Pro 3. It's not really designed to draw I guess, I got it for taking notes in class, but it's good enough for hobby drawing.

Software wise I used Photoshop for this quest, but the previous ones I used Paint.net, which worked well enough but Photoshop is definitely a lot easier to use.

That's right. A problem of this level shouldn't waver your belief.

You close your eyes, offering a Prayer to the Old Gods.

.....

CHOMP!

With a flash of light, your doggo bites clean through the beast's shoulder. It jumps down and stands proudly between you and the monster, body clad in brilliant light of Energy.

Looks like your Prayer has strengthened your doggo. Praise the Gods.

However, this might not last forever. You don't think you can do it another time either, better make this chance count!

What do you do?

Better end this quickly, you'll be in trouble if it drags on.

You shout an order to doggo to lunge at the Wolf Duck's neck while you channel the energy you have left for another Holy Beam.

With blinding speed, the Failed Angel rips part of the beast's neck while you pierce its chest with your Holy Beam.

The monster finally falls. It was strong, you didn't expect this much trouble over a wild beast.

Now that the battle is over, your arm begins to throb with pain. Your body enhancing magic is already working its wonder as the bleeding has stopped, but you will still need some first aid treatment. You don't want your arm to heal back misshapen.

What now?

>>987829
>Find some flexible sticks to bind our arm
Bleeding stopping is good.

>>987864
You grab a sturdy but flexible looking stick laying around.
Then you ripped the arm part of your Holy Robes and use it to bind your broken arm together with the stick. It should hold for now, but you really need better treatment.

Exhausted, you sit down to catch a breath for a while. Then, you hear another rustle from the nearby thickets. Another monster...?

"I heard some noises, are you alright?"

From the underbrush, a young woman comes out, dressed like a Huntress.

She seems wary, waiting for your reply before she would approach you.
