Kingdom Building: Civilization Starts with Divinity-Chapter 133: Johnathan the Werelion!
"Eh?" Alchemy blinked as the lions began to run away.
"Wait. If I understood that, does that mean their roars were just there to make noise for fun?"
|<A war cry, probably.>|
This was certainly unexpected. Part of her thought of letting them go, but she quickly rescinded that thought. Her Mental Destruction didn’t give her leeway to be merciful like that, and even if it did, Sevi was in that direction.
"Well... I can’t say killing fleeing targets fills me with joy, but it is what it is." She sighed.
Cracking her neck, Alchemy became a blur in a near instant, arriving at the location of the fleeing lions.
As quickly as she could, she slammed her fist into the throat of one and spun in the air to crush the skull of another between the ground and her hand.

|<Notice: You have assisted in killing an Adult Vanilla Lion and earned 4800 EXP!>|
|<Notice: Mental Destruction Timer has increased by 3 minutes and 25 seconds!>|
Continue her warpath, she appeared in front of a Mint lion and gave it an axe kick.
|<Notice: You have assisted in killing an Adult Cream Lion(Elite+) and earned 9300 EXP!>|
At least he enjoyed seeing under Alchemy’s skirt before he passed...
Or dismay. Whoever wanted to see the underwear of such a small girl probably deserved what she did to that lion.
"Master Alchemy? Is everything alright?" Alchemy suddenly heard a voice from her Avatar’s side.
"Oh! Hi Sapphire! I kind of forgot you were on this line."
|<Notice: You have assisted in killing an Adult Cream Lion and earned 4400 EXP!>|
"Yeah, everything’s fine. You remember those bears and lions? They’re currently having a gang war so I decided to join in."
|<Notice: You have assisted in killing an Adult Cream Lion and earned 3900 EXP!>|
"A... A gang war? What’s that?" Sapphire continued her stream of questions.
"Well, you see, its-"
Before she could answer, a large figure suddenly entered her peripheral vision and quickly struck at her. The thing, whatever it was, was too fast for her to dodge so suddenly, forcing her to block.
The force behind the attack sent her flying. She was sure she’d be sent over a kilometer away if she didn’t stop herself.
"OW!"
Alchemy held the arm she used to block that attack while looking at her next opponent as it briefly lost all feeling.
"Who are you?!" The assailant shouted.
"Alchem-"
Before she could finish herself, A growl echoed from behind the monster.
At the same time, two other beings lunged at them. A large bear covered in what looked like an armadillo’s shell and a woman with silver hair and red eyes, but they easily avoided it.
Both were covered in wounds, but those on the bear were much worse.
"Master Alchemy! Are you sure everything is all right! I’ll start heading over right away!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"Thanks for the thought, but I’ll be fine." She said, rushing over to the bear.
"Hey, Sevi... And a Dryad? You two look great." Alchemy quickly changed the topic.
|<Name: Ianithise>|
|<Species: Adult Ash Dryad(Elite+)>|
|<Inclination: Omnivore, Lawful, Distressed>|
|<Thought: A fairy? I can’t sense any Mana from them. How did they get here?!>|
|<Estimated Level: 70>|
|<Highest Stat: STR>|
|<Estimated Danger: SS->|
"Lord Gravana’s Disciple? What are you doing... COUGH!"
Sevi tried to speak, but she coughed up blood mid sentence.
|<Notice: Exaltation has been activated!>|
|<Notice: 2800 Divine Power has been Consumed>|
A light engulfed Sevi and quickly healed all of her visible wounds. It wasn’t enough to heal everything, but Alchemy currently didn’t have that much Divine Power.
"You! You’re these pitiful Bears’ reinforcements!" The enemy roared.
Looking the beast up and down, Alchemy let out a chuckle.
|<Name: Johnathan>|
|<Species: Vanilla Werelion High General(Hero!)>|
|<Inclination: Carnivore, Evil, Excited>|
|<Thought: Reinforcements... How interesting!>|
|<Estimated Level: 71>l
|<Highest Stat: AUR>|
|<Estimated Danger: SS>|
A naked, Bipedal lion with beautiful blue fur stood in front of Alchemy. He had eyes of amber and claws soaked in blood.
"Well, duh. What, did you think I started killing your friends for fun? I mean, you’d be right, but that’s besides the point." Alchemy revealed a manic smile.
’OH I AM SO SCREWED!’ She screamed internally at the same time.
|<You should run... This is non-negotiable. You need to run.>|
’Handler... Level with me. Do you really think that’s possible?’
|<That Dryad seems low on Mana, but if you sacrifice her and the bear than yes.>|
’Okay. fair... Counter Argument though... I use the Dryad as a meat shield, kill the thing and get a bunch of rewards.’
|<Don’t make me regret this.>|
|<Notice: You have gained a sudden mission!>|
|<Name: Vs Werelion General!>|
|<Goal: Defeat 1 Vanilla Werelion High General and secure your safety.>|
|<Failure Condition: Death, Running away.>|
|<Rewards: EXP, 2 Random Skill Shards, 2 Tier 2 Building Vouchers!>|
While Alchemy had a pleasant conversation with her handler, the Werelion took tally of how many lions survived the young lady’s onslaught.
"I thought you Dryads were supposed to be powerful. How are you losing so badly to him?"
Ianithise glared at Alchemy. She had no idea who this runt was, but they definitely pissed her off. Still, a more important task was at hand.
"You and Sevi know each other? Does that mean you’re here to help?"
"Something like that. Now then, where were Mr. Lion? Ah, right. Introductions!" Alchemy clapped playfully.
"I am Alchemy Ennis—Goddess of all those creepy and crawly, and ruler of Walpurgisnacht. Who might you be?"
Alchemy wasn’t entirely sure why she was acting like a lunatic right now. She decided to feign confidence, and insane adrenaline junky was the first thing that came to mind.
It was quite apt considering all of the Ore Dwellers already thought she was insane, though.
"I am Johnathan! 5th Knight of our great King!" The lion answered, paying no heed to Alchemy calling herself a Goddess.
After all, Goddess, Monster, or Devil... All that mattered was how strong she was!
