Chapter 172 - Inn

As the hours slowly ticked by, Alex and his group swiftly traveled across the land. Though it would've been easier to fly, to use the customized car he received from Azazel or Zenith, those options would have been more eye catching than he wanted to be. As the sun started going down though, he and the girls could finally see the town they were aiming for, Horlad, home of the Orcus Great Labyrinth. They arrived with good timing, as both Anne and Rias were starting to wear out after traveling for several hours.

They slowed down about a mile out of town to avoid annoying eyes, and walked the rest of the way, arriving just before sunset. Following directions from the locals, Alex and his group arrived at an inn and used the last of his money to get a room for the night. Alex wasn't too worried about the money, by the time he finished in Orcus he'd have more of this worlds money than he knew what to do with from monster drops alone. One of the books he bought earlier in the day was even about monsters and the resources one could get from them.

As they left the counter and headed for their room, Alex could feel the penetrating glares on his back, which he knew was raw jealousy. After all he was surrounded by four very beautiful women, and he only booked one room. Normally Alex's muscle bound figure and intimidating aura would be enough to keep the pests away, along with how well known the girls following him were; but this was a world where no one knew them yet and that some people spent their lives fighting monsters, since none of them had heard of Alex they all thought he was just an impressive looking newbie. A couple men stood up, intending to demonstrate to Alex what happens when someone tries to show off.

Only a second later those same men fell on their rears, completely pale and some with tears in their eyes and a wet spot spreading on their pants. The moment Grayfia detected some nobodies with bad intentions towards them, she activated her 'Aura of terror', and frightened them all into submission. As for the rest of those in the inn, all they saw was the silver haired maid glancing at the men about to confront the new upstart before they all collapsed, and thought he might've been the young master of some noble house. They all decided to wait until the maid wasn't around, and teach the young man a lesson then, noble or not.

Alex had noticed the actions of those men and Grayfia, but chose to ignore it since it was a common occurrence in the original series. No matter where one went, there would always be idiots. He then led the girls upstairs to their room, which only had two beds. Alex already expected the state of the room so he wasn't too fazed, but Grayfia, Rias, and Kuroka were all shocked at the accommodations they had to sleep in, while Anne dove into a bed with a large smile on her face.

"FINALLY, no more grass or dirt beds!" The four smiled at her actions, and figured it would probably be a while before she readjusted to normal life. The first thing out of Alex's mouth when they started looking around the room was,

"Let's set up a bunch of barriers to prevent eavesdroppers and intruders, as strong as possible." The girls were confused as to why Alex wanted so much protection, but did as he said and placed as many barriers as possible to prevent anyone from hearing what they were saying. Alex then directed all of them to sit, and started explaining part of what he left out earlier, while Grayfia took notes to take back to Asora.

"First of all regarding the barriers, what I'm about to say could draw unwanted attention to ourselves before I want it. If residents of this world heard it then there would probably be a massive manhunt for us led by the churches, and the one who's attention I want to avoid the most might start looking for us." At his words everyone became serious, as they knew nothing of this world so Alex's words were the only thing they had to go off of as far as threats towards them. He then continued,

"I said before that the driving reason between the conflicts of the different races of this world was religion, in reality that was quite the understatement. There exists in this world one God who more or less controls everything, named Ehito. He drives the wars wth his alternate names, he sows chaos and suffering, and this is all simply a form of amus.e.m.e.nt for him." As Alex explained some of the atrocities of Ehito, each of the girls had intense glares on their faces, with Anne's being the most significant. After being killed by a thief in her previous life, she wanted to live by helping people who needed it, it was this mentality that drove her to help those who considered her a demon growing up after they accepted her. Hearing there was a "God" as corrupt and despicable as possible running this world made her want to do something about it. Her opinion of him only got worse as Alex went on with his explanation,

"He wasn't always a god though, as far as I could tell he was originally a human or something like it, that also came from anther world along with the rest of his race's survivors. They were extremely advanced in terms of magic, but their planet was ending due to some of their magic experiments. When they arrived this world was only populated by humans that were at the mercy of monsters, Ehito and his people decided to help the humans and granted them magic, though the magic was very degraded from what they themselves wielded. They then led the people in peace and prosperity, becoming known as gods and using the magic they kept to themselves to extend their natural lives.

"Eventually however this started to end when some of them had decided they lived long enough and stopped extending their lives. This trend continued until Ehito was the only one left, as he was too scared of not knowing what was waiting for him in the afterlife to move on like the rest. Even with his magics however his original body did eventually have an end, and he was forced to make a choice; move on like his comrades, or start using drastic measures to stay. He then created his own domain, that essentially became his divine territory, where his spirit would be able to persist without moving on, and started looking to obtain a new body.

"The humans were unacceptable, as he would simply face the same problem again eventually. So he tried to create a superior race of humans, leading to the creation of vampires. Vampires however were no better than humans, only living a few hundred years longer than their counterparts. This led to the creation of both the demihumans, and the demon race; however they were both also unacceptable as the demihumans were unable to use magic, and the demon race was physically weaker than the demihumans. He then created the dragon race, a race of people able to take the forms of dragons that were physically strong, and able to use magic. This race was still incompatible however, and he destroyed them five hundred years ago in a fit of rage, with the vampires following them two hundred years later for a similar reason.

"With all these failures Ehito had simply been waiting in his divine territory, looking for a suitable body to take for his own. He has spent all this time curing his boredom by manipulating the various races like chess pieces to fight over and over again, even though attempts have been made for peace by those same races throughout history, he has smashed it all every time simply due to boredom." As Alex finished speaking, the girls were all dumbfounded at what he told them. Rias, Kuroka, and Grayfia all grew up with knowledge about gods and their quirks, even the bad ones, but they never heard of something like this. Anne on the other hand stood suddenly and demanded,

"We're going to do something about this fake God, right?!" Alex nodded at her words, and explained,

"I intend to, but the problem is that he hides in his divine territory that I have no idea how to enter, and he's looking for a body to possess. I want to avoid the situation where he possesses one of us and we have to fight each other." They all nodded in understanding, each not wanting to face each other while a god possessed them. Grayfia then asked,

"What about the dungeon you mentioned before, is it related to this?" Four pairs of eyes focused on Alex again, and he continued explaining,

"There are seven Great Labyrinths in the world, each was created by a member of a group known as the Liberators, or as history would refer to them, the Betrayers. They were a group that opposed the oppression of the gods and learned the magics the gods themselves used, Age of Gods Magic. Each one is extremely powerful depending on the way it's used, and it's these particular magics that I came to this world for. To acquire an Age of Gods Magic, one has to complete the trials of each of the seven dungeons, and earn recognition of passing them. The first we'll enter tomorrow, the Orcus Great Labyrinth, is where we will learn Creation magic. I'll say now that each magic requires compatibility, if you can't use the magic well then don't let it get to you, and just use it where you can. After acquiring all seven of the Age of Gods Magics, you'll gain access to the final and most powerful one, Conception magic."

Alex explained a few more details, then stopped dumping all the information on the girls for the night. He then sent Grayfia ahead to Asora, for her to bring all the information he gave them, the maps, and some of the books he bought to be examined. He kept the monster encyclopedia with him though, he'd need that in the labyrinth. Her other goal was to collect any necessities they'd need in the labyrinth, as he wasn't sure if they'd still pass the challenge if they left the labyrinth to enter Asora. She left out the door as if she was simply running some errands, as Alex wanted to keep an eye on Anne for a few days before informing her of Asora's existence. After Grayfia left and reapplied the barriers, Rias got a mischievous glint in her eye.

"So are you telling me that this'll be our last night with a proper bed for a while?" Alex nodded, and said,

"We'll have to sleep in the labyrinth since it'll take a while to get through it, what with two hundred floors and all. We can't afford to let our guard down and relax too much, so yeah this'll probably be our last night with a proper bed for a while." At his words Rias suddenly started removing her clothes, not even caring about Anne's presence in the room, and climbed onto Alex's lap once she was completely n.a.k.e.d. Facing each other, she started kissing him, to which Alex returned quite eagerly. Kuroka quietly went behind Alex, and soon he saw her kimono sail through the air before it landed on the floor, and some soft melons pressed against his back. Rias started fumbling with his pants, before his hardening manhood was exposed and swiftly entered a warm hole.

Anne sat across the room, incredulity on across her face as the three of them simply started having s.e.x in front of her. She covered her face but also peered through her fingers in horrid fascination, her eyes glued to Alex's hard rod as Rias bounced on it. She didn't even notice that Kuroka sprouted cat ears and two tails, until Rias's ride was over and it was her turn. She wanted to tell them to knock it off, that their actions were completely indecent and vulgar, but the words were stuck in her throat. She only hoped that Grayfia would return soon and stop them, as Anne had already learned she was the serious one of the group. Even as these thoughts passed through her mind, Anne couldn't help but wonder what that thing would feel like if it entered her.

***

Grayfia returned to the inn a couple hours later, having passed on the items and information while also collecting food and other necessities for the next month, just in case. She walked up the stairs to their room, only to find a crowd of people outside their door trying to get in. She recognized some from earlier, and sighed at how they hadn't learned their lesson, as they were obviously trying to attack Alex. She surged forward and attacked the group, breaking a few bones and cracking a few skulls, completely dominating over the group. One of the guys she frightened earlier fell backward, and cried out,

"She's back! Run for it!" Prompting the ones she hadn't punished yet to start fleeing, though their speed was no match for hers, and they tasted their share of punishment as well. Leaving them laying in the hallway, she then returned to the front desk right as the worker was about to leave for the night.

"Excuse me, I would like to lodge a complaint." The persons face twitched, and they asked,

"I see, and what is the problem?" Grayfia promptly replied,

"There was a few people trying to enter our room when they aren't allowed, they're laying in the hallway, but alive. I hope this isn't a standard at this establishment, and that there'll be something done about this." The person sighed, and said,

"I'll notify the guards, and have them collect any that are still here when they arrive." Grayfia nodded and said,

"That'll be plenty, and I hope such a situation won't happen again if we stay in the future, goodnight." They returned Grayfia's good nights, and she swiftly made her way back up the stairs. All of the would be intruders were still there laying where she left them, but she simply ignored them this time around. As she naturally passed through the barriers that kept them out, Grayfia opened the door to suddenly fill the hall with the sound of heavy panting and sensual m.o.a.ns. All the would be intruders wanted to vomit blood, as they got the confirmation they needed about Alex's activities, even though none of them could see into the room themselves. Grayfia herself sighed at their actions, and swiftly entered the room before closing the door.

The scene what exactly what she imagined, as Alex, Rias and Kuroka went at it on one of the beds, and Anne was still across the room, trying to cover her face but still watching. She soon noticed Grayfia, and said,

"Please make them stop, they've been at it since you left and this is too indecent!" Grayfia didn't say anything in return, she simply undid her own outfits clasps, and to Anne's dismay, joined her master on the bed.
