Chapter 15: Attack
Chapter 15: Attack
~Raven POV~
Prime target.
The village of Higanbana is another target for us to collect.
For the tribe.
Despite this though everything to prepare for this.
Like any other raids were doing this to resupply our own stocks and this village would be a prime target.
Have to take my time to use the Grimm leading them here but all in all, have been worth it.
When the Grimm come over that's when will attack the place with everything we have.
However, the last few days have been rather unsettling as of late.
That would be because of the latest senses of magic in the area that made me terrified or lucky to know another Maiden is here or Ozpin trying to locate me.
No.
Shaking my head at that foolish man I have no doubt it's not him.
He's always been too busy guarding the Relics to ever leave from his little Beacon no.
And it wasn't the Maiden power I felt either since it was too weak to be one of course I could be mistaken if it's a new Maiden.
Could prove useful for the tribe if that's the case like I have for the previous Spring Maiden Vernal has been since she couldn't have made the most use of her gift.
It was a mercy for what I did as she couldn't have survived on her own.
"Chief."
Hearing from my scouts searching the area I began to glance at him as I asked, "Vernal. How are the reports of the village?"
She began to talk to me as I smiled gently at her while she reports to me the situation as she acts as my false Maiden, "We have searched and found that it's another one of those White Fang rallies. Seems like all the important figureheads are there."
Frowning at this is a small problem here.
Dealing with the rift raft White Fang members is no problem but if the Branwen Tribe messes with them that is dealing with another whole debacle with the Faunus community.
I have no issues dealing with them but as the leader of the tribe through this could bring unwanted enemies to the Faunus community as a whole if they were able to find out about this…
That just means we won't be able to defend ourselves from the attack.
Hmm…
For now, though will just see if the Grimm manages to take them out first before we actually proceed in the attack and take the items we need.
Shaking my head for a bit I began to call out in command of the situation, "Sigh… For now, will see what the people will do first. We won't act if they can still defend because we don't need a race gunning us down."
No need to make unnecessary enemies with the Faunus.
Using our old tricks, we began to use the Grimm to invade the village as we usually do.
Survival of the fittest.
Those that survive earned that right shame my foolish brother is following Ozpin's words.

~Albus POV~
Ilia Amitola.
As a White Fang member, she wears a Grimm Mask with chameleon horns on it to hide her identity. Her mask also points upward at the top and extends past her hairline; this resembles the crest of a veiled chameleon.
She wears a black, gray, and dark gray sleeveless stealth suit with short legs that resembles a playsuit with black trim around the legs.
The color divide is at the center of her thighs. The stealth suit's zipper is gold, and over it, she wears gray belt straps with gold buckles. She wears black calf-high boots that are folded over and a black glove on her right hand.
Not going to lie though she does have great legs.
Hearing her previous question, I replied to her with some words of my own, "I was asking if it was possible for humans to join the White Fang or not?"
Listening to it even with her mask she glares at me even with me having the idea she tries to shoo me off, "No. As far as I know, only Faunus are available to join the White Fang. For all, we know you could have an alternative motive behind joining our group. We can't let you humans join."
Well, you ain't wrong about that.
But you're being extremely racist here though.
Nodding at this I admit I only need them for their resources but guess it wasn't meant to be.
Even if I fight now though it will probably leave me as someone to be targeted in the future.
Expressing a disappointed expression on my face I replied to her not giving an inch away, "Sigh. Really? Damn. Guess it was worth a shot at asking I apologize for wasting your guy's time then. Take care."
With that, I began to walk off not wanting to cause some more trouble since it could become bad blood between me and the White Fang.
Leaving some distance away from them shame I couldn't join their cause for my benefit but maybe it's for the best to leave it as this way.
Gives me more freedom to do what I want for the time being and plan ahead of what to do next -
"GRIMM WAVE!!"
"WE HAVE A MASS OF GRIMM INCOMING!!!"
Huh?
What happened next could be described as madness taking place.
Pure carnage.
/////
*BOOM*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*SWOOSH*
"Run away!"
"Grimm Wave incoming!"
"Mom- ARGH!
"NO!"
"Quite for the shelters and save yourselves!"
What the fuck…?
Literally, everything has been quite well for the last few minutes but suddenly a Grimm wave attacked occurred with the citizens of the area taking refuge to take shelter inside with their guards helping the place.
Like seriously what is my luck right now?
Why the hell do I get myself into these kinds of situations when I'm in this world.
At this point it's a trend very annoying one as these kinds of situations being attacked by Grimm is practically common at this point is very annoying.
*Crack*
"Quick deal with them immediately!"
"Shoot them down!"
"My son! My son! Has anyone seen my boy!"
Welp fuck my life over.
*Thud*
Oh god…
What landed in front of me was a dead human corpse as I grimaced at the sight holding in my breakfast keeping myself scarce from seeing the Grimm of what seemed like a wolf began to eat it all up with its black boney hid as it's fangs rip and tears the body apart.
I…
I think I'm going to be sick.
But against my better judgment for survival purposes, I managed to hold my barf in as I began to live the revolver I had and aimed at the Grimm infusing it with my Cursed Energy to reinforce it and…
*BANG*
Shoot.
Easily enough the Grimm wolf died soon after but the brutalized and eaten dead body was there leaving organs and everything out as I got a whiff of it along with the blood.
Disgusting and horrifying to see firsthand.
God…
"Whew…"
Wheezing out I began to touch the body and began to use Cursed Restoration to restore the body to its original state as all the blood and mesh of flesh began to reform restoring itself together again.
Oh my gosh, this is disgusting as hell but…
When the body was done reforming itself restored I…
Began to loot as I need what I can to survive in this harsh and unfair world.
Everything that I have been up against has been unfair but now…
What the literal fucking hell.
Resorting to doing this but I know it's very distraught for me to do but necessary for me to have since I have nothing in this world.
No money.
No family.
No insurance of a better tomorrow.
Just only this waiting for me one day if I die like this or the person in front of me.
I…
Refuse this world way.
Refuse to die like this or become like this.
Standing to be on the top should be my goal in this world to never die like this.
With Re: Zero magic I could one day return home but for how long?
Years perhaps?
By then I'll die.
No, I will live on till I see the day but till then…
*Bang*
Shooting at a Grimm coming nearby I took the Lien on the person as I glared at the Grimm heavily using Cursed Restoration to restore my gun ammo, "I won't die like this. Not now nor never. Come on Remnant Albus Burn is coming for you next."
*Bang*
"ROAR!"
"Shut up."
*Zzzz*
Using my right arm of deconstruction I managed to deconstruct the Grimm… wolf on its head as it died from it instantly as it began to destabilize and formed into dust soon after as I grip my hand tightly.
Releasing a breath of this madness going as I glanced over the village getting attacked…
I might as well help out this time to avoid getting those Grimm on me.
I'm no hero type but I won't let bystanders get harmed by this for nothing not after experiencing how close I died to one.
Seeing the carnage firsthand I can't waver or else I die like them.
Like normal people against real monsters…
Holding the Philosopher Stone in my hands as I grimaced as I spoke quietly to myself, "If all else fails… go God mode with the stone."
Placing the liquid container holding the blood-red stone liquid I began to use my Ultimate Eye to help navigate this madness I found myself in.
