Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem

Ra had noticed Zach's group on their way to Haven. She could have easily dodged or even retaliated against the sword covered in sacred energy pointed at her throat.

Considering the difference between them on their way and having arrived was less than a second, Ra had a clear advantage in reaction time. But doing anything would only escalate the situation, so she remained still, only sitting in the air with a faint smile as she looked at the tense and wary Yanael.

One by one, the others also noticed what was going on.

"Yanael," Zach said while grabbing Yanael's swordarm and pushing it down.

"Ra is not an enemy. She even helped me a lot after…" Zach's voice trailed off.

Yanael was smart enough to know what he was talking about just by his tone. With narrowed eyes, she transformed her sword into the bracelet again.

"As you wish, Master," She said with a nod before turning to Ra.

"Since Master has said as much, I will not treat you with hostility. But I will not forget what you did to Master, even if it was due to the Blight."

Ra nodded. Attacking Zach and trying to take his world essence energy, putting him through excruciating pain was a sin. If she had succeeded, he and everyone else would have died, and she would have gained the strength to defeat Blizzard and break out of the Labyrinth, spreading the Blight to the Empire and their world.

She could have wrought destruction to another world.

But the weight of what she could have done was like a feather compared to what she had done.

Besides, a little choking and a little pain wasn't that big of a deal. It was inevitable in a fight to the death. If anything, she should be the one holding a grudge, considering Yanael chopped her hands and head off.

But the blessing of being freed from the Blight far outweighed that. Ra was nothing but thankful that she met Zach and his companions.

That was why she didn't mind showing them around her humble abode, the second highest mountain peak in Haven. It was also because it was just a mountain peak with a cushion. It was a quick tour that ended as soon as the others saw Nora's tomb.

Zach wasn't interested in making a show of himself saying hi to Nora or of Nora herself.

"Let's go." He said, taking them away from the mountain peaks and toward the fortress.

It was only then that he started explaining what Haven was. Since Lexi and Visla didn't know about the Labyrinth of Vidur, he took it from the beginning. That didn't mean they understood it all, though.

Why did Zach have his own little world? And why did he have a ghost living in it?

It was the kind of questions that didn't need to be answered, so they stopped thinking about it and asked questions like why there wasn't a sun. What about the grass? Had he considered inviting any animals to liven up the place?

It annoyed Zach, but he had a feeling that was the purpose of the questions. If he was annoyed, he didn't have to think about the painful stuff.

Fortunately, they all shut up as soon as he opened the doors to the vault.

It was just a big and empty room where all the treasures were. It wasn't very secure. Who was going to steal from him? Ra?

"Feel free to arm yourselves!" Zach spread his arms wide and invited the others to go ahead and take what they wanted.

They looked at him uncertainly. He nodded. They stopped holding back.

Zach's familiars showed a little composure. They were confident in themselves and their abilities. They didn't need to rely on tools and treasures to enhance themselves.

But that didn't mean that the pile of shiny trinkets wasn't alluring. Naturally, they had to take a look or two and see if there was anything that could help them. The stronger they were, the better they could defend or carry out Zach's wishes, after all.

Visla and especially Lexi were not as composed. They dove forward and rummaged through the treasures like burglars ruffling through a married lady's panty drawer. It didn't take long before they were covered in shiny items. Multiple necklaces and bracelets around their necks and wrists. Swords, daggers, clubs, and bows hung from their belts, waists, arms, and shoulders.

It was amazing they could even walk with all that.

Zach just sighed and shook his head. He looked at his familiars.

Mandra found a couple of grimoires with advanced magic from a different world. Apparently, the magic from Zach's world was similar enough to hers that it wasn't very interesting beyond a certain point. But the magic from Ra's world used a different line of thought when it came to using magic energy.

Even an Archon at the peak of magic would find it interesting.

Soara found a necklace with a black gem that carried the power of death. She wasn't quite sure what it did, but as a minimum, it amplified her passive ability to absorb the power of death from her surroundings. It would be a great help against the Hydra and its Children.

Yanael fed her bracelets with several treasured swords and minerals, strengthening, sharpening, and enhancing the smoothness of sacred energy flowing through them. Her sword was now far better than the one Zach had tried to offer Maura.

Yanael's skills and talents wouldn't be limited by the maximum output or sharpness of her sword any more. Instead, it was time for her sword to elevate her prowess.

Alzara was the last one to return to the entrance of the vault. With her, she carried a pile of dried plants that looked like they had withered ages ago and were on the brink of disintegrating. But she treated them carefully and asked Zach for a little world essence energy. She looked nervous when asking, but Zach didn't even hesitate when giving it to her.

Alzara took it and hurried away to a secluded corner of Haven while the others took another lap around the vault.
