He’d immediately suppressed his new aura, of course; he didn’t need his party and friends to be awestruck by him. He could see the utility of the aura, though. With it, he could send a group of low-leveled creatures like uruks fleeing without needing to waste time and SP killing them. Since he could probably slaughter a hundred uruks and get a handful of XP in return at his current level, letting them flee from him wasn’t a loss.

“Well,” he said at last, his voice hesitant, “when Geltheriel, Silma, and I went to restore the Arcane Door, we got attacked as usual. At first, it was just bodakkai – no big deal – but eventually, monsters started attacking us, ones I’d never seen before.”

“What do you mean, monsters?” Phil repeated. “Aren’t the bodakkai monsters?”

“They’re humanoid. Monstrous, but not beasts. The things that attacked us weren’t sapient. They were just really powerful beasts that kept hitting us in waves.” He grimaced. “Well, technically, they hit Geltheriel and Silma in waves. I was a bit busy.”

“This isn’t explaining, Aranos,” Martina said a bit irritably.

“I’m getting there. Anyway, eventually, we got attacked by a dragon…”

“Wait, a real dragon?” Phil interrupted. “They have those?”

“I guess they used to. I didn’t get the whole story, but the elven legends say that long ago, all races served the great dragons as slaves – and food. The races rose up and killed most of them, and the rest vanished.” He shook his head. “It was powerful, Phil. The three of us didn’t really stand a chance against it, at least not until I fixed the Doors. That trapped it in the Bridge of Light and weakened it a lot.

“We fought it, and it started shifting shapes. We thought it was a really powerful naldlooshi – you know, those skinwalkers, like the kind Geltheriel killed – but while we could hurt it, we couldn’t kill it. It just kept shifting to new shapes, fully healed each time. Eventually, I figured out how to damage it, and the three of us together destroyed its essence – its soul, I guess. It turned out...”

He took another deep breath. “It turns out, the thing wasn’t a monster. It was Ilistil, Matron of Monsters.” Their faces looked confused, and he elaborated. “A goddess. One of the Dark Pantheon, in fact.”

“Holy shit!” Martina said softly. “You killed a fucking god, Aranos?”

“We did. I couldn’t have done it alone. But yeah, we did – and I guess it messed up the game. The gods are supposed to be unkillable, and somehow, by killing one I destabilized the program and forced the AIs to suspend us all from the server while they fixed it. Obviously, not something I meant to do or even foresaw, but technically, it was my fault.”

“Nobody can blame you for that,” Phil said firmly. “There was no way you could have predicted it, was there?”

“No. I still don’t even know what happened, to be honest.”

“Then once everyone hears that, they’ll forgive you.
