Herrs' POV

"Well…this is a development." I looked out the window and saw an angry mob looking for Aqua.

"What did you do?!" I yelled at her.

"It's not my fault!" she jumped out the window.

It definitely her fault.

I quickly tracked Aqua down on the outside of town, a mob still looking for her.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I think the water source is the problem." She explained "If I can purify the hot springs everything will return to normal."

"There she is!" the mob yelled.

"Come on." I grabbed her hand and pulled her along "They don't seem to like you, why bother saving them, we should just strike them down!"

"They're faithful to me, I have to help them!" she whined.

Aqua went to the mountain outside of town where the main spring source was.

"Let me in, I'm an Axis Church Arch Priest, see it says so on my Adventurer card." She showed the gate keepers.

"The overseer said not to let anyone in, no buts." They told her.

"You should do this, it's the right thing to do." Aqua told them with a small smile "Letting us through will allow this town to-."

"Oh we're Eris' Faithful." They said.

"WHAT?!" Aqua threw a fit "Seriously I'm just trying to help the town! You know you two are kinda cute, you have a profile like a red dragon."

"Are you saying I look like a lizard?" the man growled.

"If you don't let me in…I'll tell the Axis church you're followers of Eris." Aqua glared "And that you said terrible things about their faith."

"Why would you do that?!"

"Those cultists are a pain to deal with." They groaned "Wait that hair…are you the one that replaced the hot spring water with plain hot water?"

She purified it…

"Alright Darkness." I told the girl "Make yourself useful."

"Look, you're in the presence of a Lady of the Dustiness Family!" Megumin said "Dustiness Ford Lalatina!"

"Yay." I soft clapped "Now show them your pendant."

"Yeah Darkness show them!" Aqua pulled on her.

Given Darkness unfair strength it took four of us to hold her down.

"Wiz hurry up and help, get the pendant!" Megumin yelled.

"I'm sorry!" Wiz ran over to help.

"Unhand me!" Darkness yelled "My family does not just wield its authority so wildly-HAA!"

We managed to pry the pendant to her and Aqua used it to get the guards to let us pass.

"HMPH!" Darkness pouted as we walked along the cliff's edge.

"Cut it out." Kazuma told her "Do you want to be treated as a noble or a member of the team, make up your mind."

"Shut up you're younger than me, how dare you treat me like that!" Darkness pouted.

"I treat you like that because you're my friend." He told her.

"W-Well." She pouted and blushed.

"Wow you're easy to fool." I rolled my eyes and kept walking.

We walked a little more and came to another hot spring, one they pumped water out of, but they were also pumping some black stuff into it too.

"See it's poison like I said!" Aqua yelled.

"If this is an indication the main source might already be contaminated." Megumin noted.

"Then lets hurry!" Aqua said.

We followed the main pipe up the mountain towards the peak, steam poured out of the springs as the hot water bubbled softly.

"There's someone there." Kazuma said.

There was a plain looking guy standing near the edge of the source spring.

"He's the guy we saw throw that detergent in the lake." Aqua pointed out.

"I think he said he felt violated by Axis." Kazuma added.

The guy looked like he was gonna fall in but instead just placed a hand in the water, an inky purple color spreading out from his hand.

"Alright then, that's what this is." I blinked as the others walked over to him.

"Are you…sightseeing?" he asked.

"I feel like I've seen you before?" Wiz hummed thinking hard.

"Try not to hurt yourself beautiful." I smiled.

"I've never seen you so you've never seen me!" he said.

They totally know each other.

"Oh!" Wiz clapped "Hans!"

"I don't know who that is, I'm just a simple overseer." He told her.

"It's me Wiz!" she smiled "Wiz the Lich!"

"I don't know what you're talking about." He said.

"You're the poison slime mutant, right?" Wiz asked "Wait…are you the one poisoning the water source?"

"A slime!" Darkness gasped.

"Why are you ignoring me?" Wiz pouted "Remember back at the Demon King's castle."

"I have important business in town!" the man shook Wiz off and walked away.

"Hmm." I reached back for my arrows "You can't fool me, you're wearing a skin suit slime, a simple hot spring overseer doesn't have that level of magic power."

It's been a long time since I fought one of these.

"GRR!" the man growled "Why are you even here shouldn't you be running a store or something?! Stop slacking and work!"

"I work very hard!" Wiz huffed "Though I seem to have less money than ever."

"This long project, done as quietly as possible." Hans mumbled "Wiz isn't your deal that you don't get in anyone's way and just maintain the barrier? You're not supposed to oppose us or help us. So why are you getting in my way?"

"I'm not getting in the way I was just being nice and saying hello!" the lich said.

"That is getting in my way!"

"All my suffering is because of you." Aqua cracked her knuckles "Prepare to pay!"

"Can't we just talk about this?!" Wiz asked.

"You're spineless, you used to be so much more fearsome when you opposed us." Hans told her.

"I don't care if you do or don't know Wiz." I notched an arrow "I'm getting rid of you. I am the God Herrs, I have slain two demon generals, you will be the third."

"I see." Hans looked up "All who know my true identity up to this point have obeyed me and begged for mercy, though I can't expect the same from a god."

"Normally I wouldn't bother getting so worked up over an annoying slime that doesn't know his place but…" I looked up at him with a glare from under my hood "This town is all Aqua has, I'm not letting you take it from her."

"Hans is very powerful." Wiz warned "Be careful."

"By the way." I looked up at Hans "Where's the real overseer?"

"I ate him." Hans blinked "I'm a slime, I consume things it's kinda what we do."

There was suddenly a spike in magic pressure behind me.

"Wiz?"

"Crystal Prison!" she cast a high level frost spell in an instant, leaving a pillar of ice that entrapped one of Hans arms.

"What the-?"

"As part of my neutrality was that you all would not kill non-combatants." Wiz looked up darkly "Adventurers may lose their lives in battle, it is part of their work as they also kill monsters. However, the old man working here did nothing wrong!"

She really is scary strong, I see now why the Gods haven't hunted down a Lich like her I had heard stories of Wiz the unparalleled Ice Witch but I never would have thought it was this Wiz. She's a living legend.

"HRAA!" Hans broke his own arm off and let his slime core leak out of his body, growing exponentially in size "I'll devour you!"

The ground hissed as the slime slinked over it, proving that it was of an extreme poison variety.

"What a splendid slime!" Darkness moaned looking at the beast "If it weren't poison I'd make it my pet!"

"RAAAH!" the slime popped a bit, spraying out toxic goo.

"NO!" Aqua ran at the lake "Stop! Purification!"

Aqua started using her magic to try and stop the poison bleeding into the lake.

"HMPH!" I shot an arrow but had it fizzle and melt away.

"It's no use…fine." I pulled my hood down "Holy Wrath!"

My bow glowed bright yellow with light as I started pulling back faster and faster.

"Sacred Arrow Rain!"

I broke apart some parts of the slime to see the core.

"There it is!" I smiled "Aqua quit playing around and hurry up so I can do this before my timer runs out. I borrowing some of your power, don't tell the higher ups!"

"Huh?" she looked back.

"HMPH!" I held up an arrow "Wiz I gonna break him apart, freeze and burn!"

"O-Okay!" she nodded.

"STAND BACK!" I held my bow arm up, the weapon growing in size "This might get bright!"

Part of the bow extended and thickened, wings growing from the tips as the light built up.

"Burn in my radiance!" I yelled shooting a arrow straight up "PURIFICATION GOD'S WRATH!"

The arrow burst open and an immense burning beam of light blasted down from heaven and incinerated half the slime.

"FREEZE!" Wiz then froze the rest.

"Shatter!" I spun around and let off another holy shot to break apart the ice.

"HMPH!" I fell to a knee as the ice dusted the earth around us.

Shit that was only the third general, I can't keep using my powers like this or I won't have any left to fight the Demon King and reclaim my true godhood.

"Ha…ha…can we go home now?" I asked.
