Naria lifts the hem of Aiyano's kimono and places her hand on her buttocks.

I was writing in the chat about a theory that Naria and Lord are the same person. THINK ABOUT IT.

Well, there’s no need for that here; Lord Ayano, at least, didn’t make inappropriate advances or ask to be called “daddy.”

I was writing a theory in the chat that Narya and Lord are the same person. THINK ABOUT IT.

I even know which one.

Ah, too bad Manin Tai ran away so quickly.

He'll just collapse from blood loss.

"Oh, Kami... Please, look away," she said, removing a spinel ring and clenching it in her fist. She buried her face in the sleeves of her kimono, refusing to believe what was happening and trying to shift her consciousness somewhere far away, to an imaginary "happy place." "I wonder what Edge Lord would do if he witnessed this scene?" flashed through her mind. But in reality, she wasn't interested in that at all.

"Okamisama-tachi... Please, avert your gaze" - removing a spinel ring and clenching it in her fist, she buries her face in the sleeves of her kimono.

Oh, I recognize that tag!

 - Soon things will be... very bad for us. We don't know when, how, or what to do; we only know that something must be done, and that something is not preparing for battle.
 - Yes. With all due respect, you couldn't take him head-on even if you tried.

-- Sooo, first of all, it's cool that you believe in my strength enough to suggest taking him head-on ))) -- said Erephir, who by that moment was sitting comfortably on the sofa. -- Secondly. I need to think. One minute.

A minute passed. Maybe two or three.

-- Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Here is what I've realized. First, we don't know the source of the delusion, but I don't believe in collective hallucinations. Furthermore, under any circumstances, I have no doubt that the Apostle of Hopelessness is involved. BUT there is a possibility that the spread of rumors about the coming disaster is the very goal and obsession of "Hopelessness," to sow panic and so on and so forth. That's a pleasant scenario for us, let's not elaborate on it, there's no point )

-- Now, if we have a well-wisher who saw fit to leave Carneola a message... Okay, actually it sounds strange that he chose a bar for the location ) I need to clarify this point, why it's like that. But let's believe in it. Further, don't get mad at me, but I immediately started thinking about how to take him down. Let's imagine words hanging in the air describing our opponent.

This character's attacks terminate the existence of everything they touch. 
Initiative: 1000

-- Now this, of course, is wild ) It looks like Metarma's curse, but even stronger, and on top of that, he has the first move. If we don't find a counter to this, there's no point in fighting further. But let's assume we did. Moving on.

Ruthless Annihilator
Immunity to all negative effects except those that reduce health. 

-- Great profession )) Next.

Immense Terror
Characters with Will lower than 30 cannot perform any actions in the presence of Hopelessness.

-- We need Spirit. And time. I hope we have the latter and will get the former. Next.

Hopelessness
Destroys a small town or one district of a large city, can be used once a week. 

-- Ooh, cool ability. It could be useful. If we had it instead of him ) Next.

Attack: 10000
Equipment
Weapon 1: 

Weapon 2: 

-- This, by the way, is interesting. I don't know if our dragon uses weapons or if, due to incredible strength and annihilation, he sees no point in them. But let's assume he has a weapon, and a good one. Some giant greataxe with 500 damage. And let's assume we have some kind of protection against annihilation. Well then, if we master the Path of Metal, surprisingly, this can be endured 😎 Still the best path, another confirmation. I just need to raise the armor class a bit, to at least 85%, and if we had some regen, we could hold him off for quite a long time.

-- The problem, of course, is that this is all guesswork. If he has some little sword with elemental damage, then thanks to...

Affinity +1000% to all elements.

-- That changes everything. Definitely. And that's assuming the dragon even wants to enter a melee duel, because since he can attack across the whole map, he doesn't need to. And here's another interesting thing:

SP: 200

-- And I thought I was fast, sigh! Hopelessness doesn't need to fight anyone openly at all; he just flies in, shoots across the whole map, and flies away to destroy another place, without giving any chance for a counterattack.

-- In short, the point is... Everything is bad. But incredibly interesting. I can't say I haven't encountered hopeless opponents before; I have. Monsters are monsters, but in the end, humans rule the world because a way to deal with every monster was eventually found. Using intelligence, honor, and courage, our species won and climbed to the very top of the food chain. Every time someone appeared who was too much for us, they rejoiced and gloated, but only for a while, and then they were crushed just like any other plague. The same goes for dragons; Emperor Raidark crushed them in the past, including those who were truly capable of destroying cities: so I was assured. Who knows, maybe that was the Apostle of Hopelessness? Dragons are far more ancient than we are, that option cannot be ruled out. What if Hopelessness is their defeated former king who decided to break an oath? Anyway, these questions are not for me or those present here. The main thing should be clear.

-- Of course, I'm not saying that we must be the heroes in this situation. More accurately, I suspect that I will have to participate, but overall — we'll see. A tactical retreat is also a normal move when there are no other adequate options, but in any case... We must prepare. I really hope we have enough time; I'll inform the princess. However, I suggest Beata and Guion come with me tomorrow morning to deliver the information directly, rather than through erephir distortions. I think that Princess Naera is also aware of the Apostles and will be very grateful for your reconnaissance.

-- Anything else? -- Erephir clearly pulled out her diary, preparing to update the to-do list.

...

Naria’s delicate and gentle hand proved to be as effective as a whip, relentlessly and methodically fulfilling its purpose. By the time Aiyano received her hundredth, final strike, her buttocks had long ceased to be pink and had taken on a reddish hue. Finally, the princess gently patted the priestess on the bottom, though without any lewd thoughts or intentions, and returned her clothes to their original state.
- Now we can consider this incident closed. - Allowing her daughter to assume an upright position, Naria embraced her again. - Thank you for coming back to me.

I can't say that I haven't encountered hopeless opponents before; I have.

🥁

Life gradually returned to the dull, lifeless eyes of the elderly priestess – albeit not in the way she would have liked. “But how could it have been any different…” she croaked in a heavy voice, trying her best to erase what had happened from her memory. “It was Chimera’s doing… Can I hope that you won’t seek revenge? And that you will accept his apology without complications.”

-- Well, I'm not saying that we should be the heroes in this situation. More precisely, I suspect that I will have to participate, but in general – let's see. A tactical retreat is also a normal move when there are no other adequate options, but in any case... We need to prepare. I really hope we have enough time; I will inform the princess. However, I suggest that Beata and Guion go with me tomorrow morning to convey the information directly, rather than through ethereal distortions. I think that Princess Naera is also aware of the apostles and will be very grateful for your reconnaissance.

-- Anything else? -- Erephir clearly took out her diary, preparing to add to her to-do list.

- Oh, come on, we'll just draw more attention to ourselves...
- Come on, we'll also get to meet the princess's sister. And she'll get to meet us.
- Guion, I don't really like her...
- You didn't really like the princess either.
- I'm not saying that I like her now, but she's proving to be an excellent employer and all that.
- Let's go as a support group for Erephir.
- Fine, fine, but only for the boss! 😤 And, in general, I think Eugene will be an equally valuable source of information. The problem is, he's busy, and it's not ideal to distract him from church matters.
- First, we need to create an action plan.
Beata opened her mouth, but her gaze fell on the painting of Miss Cosmos.
- By the way, boss. We saw these paintings in "Vishenka." And the price tags said that they are only useful for those who came here from other worlds. Guion and I won't benefit from them. But you, on the other hand, first run to the church after the mandate of sincerity, which you've never done before, and then decorate Carneol with these paintings...
Guion frowned and crossed his arms behind his back. Beata looked Erephir in the eye and said menacingly:
- That distant country you come from – it's not on the map of Anuzish, is it?!
- And since the painting is hanging in the common hall – there are other interdimensional beings in Carneol, right? - added Guion.
The couple looked tense, but they clearly wanted explanations, not a fight.

Life gradually returned to the faded, lifeless eyes of the elderly priestess – albeit not in the way she would have liked.
- Well, what else could have happened... - she croaked in a heavy voice, trying her best to erase what had happened from her memory. - It was a chimera... Can I hope that you won't seek revenge? And that you will accept his apology without complications.

- As I said, the incident is over. If you don't want me to conflict with this person, then so be it, so you don't need to worry about it. Tell me instead about how you spent your time.

Beauty +50%
Maximum Initiative.
+5 to Attack.
Female only.
3000 repair.

I found a solution to your huge problem.

-- Mmmm?! -- Erephir said in surprise, putting her notebook down for a moment. -- Are you some kind of bonus enthusiasts? Why do you think I even pay attention to price tags when I buy something? ))) I see an aesthetically pleasing picture – I buy it, what’s with all the speculation? I understand, though, you’re all on edge because of the recent mandate. Some aliens on Anuzish, and in large numbers – that’s really unexpected news, but despite everything, I won’t tolerate insinuations...

Perhaps the attack wasn’t the best way to talk to the boss about such a sensitive topic, no matter how open and friendly she might be, although the conversation could still have been salvaged...

I found a solution to your huge problem.

Yes, I remember that. Anything is possible.

-- Mmmm?! -- Erefir said in surprise, putting her notebook aside for a moment. -- Are you some kind of bargain hunters? Why do you think I even pay attention to price tags when I buy something? ))) I see an aesthetically pleasing picture -- I buy it, what's with all the speculation? I understand, though, you're all on edge because of the recent mandate. Some aliens on Anuzish, and in large numbers, is indeed unexpected news, but despite everything, I won't tolerate insinuations...

- Pfft, whatever you say, - Beata shrugged and took a step back. - Relax. Yes, we are really on edge, but we are still one team. We're just curious.
- It will just be a very big surprise if, in the next skirmish, some smart guy decides to cast a spell that banishes the summoned creatures, and we're left to fight only Beata and me, - Gion snorted. - And she, as usual, is as sharp as a tack.
- And what about you?
- It's a habit. To support you.

Just have all the Carnelos marry each other before the next quest.
