We finally open our eyes as the bright light looses its effect. The curtains start coming down. But stop before fully coming down it looses its power.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnbAFv1leg

“Come on Ronin” Warzheil says as he gets on my back again “We need to get off this bridge. Before both the colossus collapse under the bridge.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsCL66KxIb
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe0KOcVwP3
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWDtfzeQhu
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmTipGb285
“I will tell you on the way, we still have some way to go before we get off this bridge” he replies when suddenly the bridge trembles and a booming sound resonates in the surrounding.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ysq8bWlSL
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBHMsHJVVG
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAf10vDPmA
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTDztkszyi
“Fine, why are you getting so restless?. Although even I know a booming sound so loud and the bridge trembling can never be good.” I say as I have an Idea of what’s happening.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU5iIyo87r
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K7A9cgy2s
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYZHJxK6iW
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWtamueRyE
“That saves me a lot of explanation lad, yes, now listen closely, there are 2 to 4 colossi under that bridge, giant and more sturdier versions of Dratnir soldiers. They are the redeemers of the bridge.” Warzheil says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjFFAba4dO
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSFGudhoVS
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkN9VG0NA8
“Hmm” he gives back a short grunts as an approval “Normally, if someone succeeds in destroying the 4 Dratnir Soldiers on the bridge, which have weakened over time, the colossus under the bridge will awaken and track the one who destroyed them and hunt them, destroying the bridge in the process.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT0BUwkxkT
he says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n8B9LbDuj
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBZiHbqSg5
“I would not sleep for days if something that big came for me. Wait don’t tell me that it’s going to chase us!” I ask in a voice full of fear, although that’s highly unlikely, but I don’t want to die just yet.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj6NvgKhma
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ3IhceGw0
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxKHWWzZnY
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPDMrxIS7m
"Bridges are sacred, lad. No one's dumb enough to break them. Unless you’ve got wings, a warship, or a death wish, you’re not crossing these rivers. Although boats are only a one way travel.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lFBRsPhB7
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFILxllezR
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyi20dLxXH
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYydkOHCWo
We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbOeFWQs80
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntPmxm982v
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuQSj6BDrO
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvfQXKbKY1
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThiiWg850M
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXojxexYsy
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpkBlcE37F
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe9v1ndlMV
“You going to eat food or answer the nature’s call? Do one at a time, Well now that you mention it, I also need to take a break, but first lets set up camp.” I say on which Warzheil agrees.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAei7J4Cbjo
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3I5mioiR5
We both get off the bridge and a few minutes after we witness such a massive bridge get swept by the fast flow of the Kobe river. The walls on its borders breaking, even though we are almost 2 kilometres away from the other end of the bridge I can still see it, the dine pavement age against test of time twist as the structure under it is swept away forcibly286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9pAOVuUtM
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcVf8jZl56
“First we need to do something about Drax. We can’t just take him with us, from this point forth it’s the demon lord’s area. And my forge is also there.” Warzheil says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHE0TIdoa0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiIFjsp5qy
“How about we cremate him? Although on Earth, that is supposed to be the child’s right,” I suggest.
“Yes, Drax has a daughter. And although this is supposed to be a secret only I and Drax knew, since you are his god, I will let you in on it.” he replies.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrbdQOemBt
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qtR7kh6rY
“What Secret? Spill it, I am not the one for cliffhangers.” I say very much interested in secret of his, expecting to get some wisdom that will help me to move forward in this world.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOSaWn4mCx
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX95qBogagd
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF502C8Yes
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPNJCUcJpV
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6lm3pgoPX
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqLVv8HZPv
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6RwswiMeQ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsstXQbNhy
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzvSlFtwoJ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmxRLChXrc
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBYI164J4N
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZGPyj31g6
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3Cgxglam5
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx79bybGiO
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTmLDYKtiF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ7rKIeWlG
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyg9Rr4Pc1
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNsax3xD1P
“Someone told me not too long ago that she had more pressing matters than to accept my request, a mortal’s request.” I say with sarcasm286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VMmfEFe6f
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmo2pwi3oe
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Eytuifnf
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV8XwlxVsW
“Goddess Ethis here fell in love with Drax. They named their child Gloria and I was there, it was a secret affair that only few knew, including Zamaba.” Warzheil says but the goddess doesn’t looks pleased.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw1mn5gukN
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PLNECEDLh
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF8dVeV9i9
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z5IPnS89Q
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH2PoAwB4j
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95PRGVNXz6
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQLWCFt1Vk
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLBj4MmJUp
I can’t just let the Dwarf die. The divine spear hiss through the air, heat radiating like a dying star. The unseen barrier around me flared in the slightest, devouring its glow before it completely vanishes just like it appeared from Ethis’ hand.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P3Nz6sOZE
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutEHZGbOAh

“What was that lad?” Warzheil says in wonder “I thought I was seeing things earlier but I got to ask, how did you do that?”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XQDU5X8Uz
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoOwi5xx8E
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X9pqpCLmA
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEfwgFrNfm
“Calm down both of you, Ethis, I did not expect gods to have such lack of patience, and Oldman, stop pushing your luck. What are you both? Enemies?” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Vfdyed1F
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfREwQ2HlCd
“You don’t know anything yet, lad, she was watching! She saw that Drax was weak, and instead of trying to save her husband, she just watched! How can I ever forgive her!” he yells at Ethis.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmFMVXL8an
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TjRe1hYJ7
The very air trembles as Ethis opposes with her voice going from low to a loud one, stirring the very wind and the ground trembles as the pebbles jump.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5s00Lp0h3
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx05aYOX02
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqVzscfayv
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu0QBDSUZ7
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xb46QjyI0
Ethis clenched her fists. "You think I didn’t try?" Her voice wavered, barely above a whisper. "I… I did. But I was bound. Chained by the King of the Heavens.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkmw75XIsi
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOWW2gmdXf
“He had plotted with Zamba, and by aiding him from the shadows, he got rid of the greatest threat to his throne. And I could do was watch."
Ethis’ voice wavered, strained as if she were holding back tears. A cold wind swept through the clearing, rustling the trees like whispered judgment. She lowered her gaze, her fists clenching so tightly her knuckles turned white.
"I... I couldn’t do anything."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnm4zcVzoF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLXc1sPlpk
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxFH5QTE0y
“That’s some seriously messed-up family dynamics,” I say “A daughter not knowing her mother, a father that believed in some god even though he is one and that too faith in someone who might not even exist, and a mother and wife who is bound by world’s laws while her husband wasn’t?, and above all, gods who sound like they would come crying out of the skies if I started roasting them.” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNHpyaVNXc
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jRDLTmS4W
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOgbpuXQtc
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEwhG28LhM
“Drax was a mortal, hundreds of thousands of years ago. He achieved godhood by his devotion to the god he believed in so that god cannot be fake.” Ethis says.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4HkhSqprB
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxgRkAPIIH
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BnEVAtVBP
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVkNmjSzsN
“I cannot answer that further, I have their eyes on me now. All I ask is the right to cremate my husband and see him off one last time.” She says turning to me.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFI0xIzVjm
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRboN3pHbu0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFZELqqa7v
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXFnUU4c2O
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6YCUpEFiU
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX4PI9UaS2
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4gPa3ZGoX
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m012uBiYk
We decide to cremate Drax’s body in a secluded place, I could see many bright energies leaving the skeleton of this dead god who considered me his god, the simple place around him becomes full of flora as the skeleton turns into ashes.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwIAIyscyp
Carefully, we gather the ashes and place them in a cloth, Ethis tries to take it but Warzheil snatches and stows it in his small space pocket.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a17qzlKrn
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBcUtgXTvD
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuEEP8l5z6
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKSk1Vxpex
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgczHvDCt7J
There was nothing left to say. We set up camp in silence, the river’s roar the only sound between us. Then, the old dwarf stood up, rubbing his gut.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GgPpBY5AP
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTlZ2NrpOZ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKvGX10bep
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF6mO1zrmx
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9OpzNtu27
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMs0ceI8DG
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRzqHP6Mek
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoUIOwj83M
Minutes pass as I grow more and more concerned, Warzheil isn’t back. I was about to get up to find him but I notice the trees shake as it something was coming out of it, so I ready my spear, but instead Warzheil comes running.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVTIkgixWs
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1Eyzfbnjg
“You sure took your time!” I shout but he doesn’t look very happy as right behind him, a giant T-rex tears through the forest into the clearing near the shore of the river.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSuM02Mfls
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIMMoPwH5B
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkVmXd5vBw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJiMEA1KrU
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJOcNfUGLc
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDiS8yezsU
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb56nsQmM9
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZQzZXAlbl
I almost burst into a laugh at Warzheil, but I try to control it and throw my spear, this time with its plasma tip on. It did little as it deflects from the armour around its eye, its smart, it knew where I would aim and dodged it.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ozRICDjGB
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSHEUdFaJa
It's eyes glow as it makes a sound as if a giant eagle was trying to compete with a lion’s roar, my ears feel itchy from its sound.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oDOr26zED
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQEXDGLBcn
Suddenly the ground erupts as a pillar made of soil hits me, I imagined I would go flying but instead end up staggering. Surprisingly I don’t feel much impact from it, in fact I left a big dents on the place I stomped.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5qYTFGmYN
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuImCTmkps0
Seeing such progressions in my strength I feel compelled to try out my power, so I sprint, and the beast takes notice of me, trying to stomp me as I try to get my spear back, but it fails, I take the spear and try cutting through it but the heat is not enough to cleave its flesh deeply.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi1DW6dDHd
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw720lyo3j
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviKcHXwoXt
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNPDBGGN2X
I use the chance go for its eye again. Using my agility I climb the giant beast and impale its left eye. The plasma spear does its job as fire erupts from its eye and the beast is felled.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMNPTN5DrQ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGrQPaf2zS
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yVgCj6KkB
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BteM3jNfR
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ1zq2LTOh
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuJzDxbhOo
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB7fEbPiBi
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj36vBZN80W
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeWbPH22wo
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8RjiRCvpO

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOzz9BrJrc
“*laughs* I need to note that down. *Laugh*, its been a while since I heard a good joke.” he says laughing286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOP93Bkelf
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVrIIVbOhJ
I prepare the fire again which was extinguished by the T-rex’s movements “Now you know I wasn’t lying when I said I am old.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKabKFynVb
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4II3OXnnj
I had already prepared the space by making it’s ground soft using my spear’s knob and also set up the fire using its plasma, But Warzheil takes out a small tent-like thing form his pocket.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSolcLCFQHd
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rxAvvLpgL
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B6s8O0hTQ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8KrCrOM9o
“You might not know it, but these pockets are so rare I could make a pair of hammers out of the metals I would get out of selling even one of these” He says almost flexing something I don’t understand.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWU222LQF8
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuak1Pcmzyy
“You do realise I have no idea of how that’s supposed to tell me its worth right? Don’t you guys trade with gold?” I ask giving him a stare.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmskNFXSEPQ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOvbYa57I8
Warzheil let out a long sigh. “Listen up, lad. Gold’s everywhere in these lands—so common it’s barely worth the trouble to pick up. If you spent a few hours panning the Kobe river, you’d fill a bottle with gold flakes. That’s why nobody bothers trading with it.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwPLhKpyRb
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIMb1RxOe1
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5YOn9q3aw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK0gpNQFJt
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVS6IIcECU
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAk4Lv75el
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5jJye7nVp
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnUWP1TGy7
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71p78wAQYM
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyXNz6v5z8
“Don’t know.” I say286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc7Rz7G0ZK
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnGRFGBDJ5
“Anyway, these are called Globets, they are the main currency used in kingdoms and the cities and towns near it. I have only 3 of these, 1 of these can buy you a 5 acre farmland.” He says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42LRHA0nUR
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbscjrJ8MwE
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2ed4QIWW4
He scratched his beard, voice growing more animated as he warmed to his favorite subject. “Platinum’s where proper trade starts. Silver’s rarer still. But the real wealth? That’s kept in the Commerce Guild vaults—Adamantium, Orichalcum, Uru. The kind of metals you’d expect to find only in legends. Most folk will never even get to touch them.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzd6HicvKZ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIB9xl3mAx
“What about diamonds?” I asked286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tMjDilFVI
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy11TqVi6S
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnGSpEvn5G
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GWGCGdnqZ
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNA1q01Rzw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkE9UPkK8w
“Dark Uru. Rarest there is. If anyone knew, I’d have half the continent after me.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS1rLawSIt
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp5QAflYl6
I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzlb0PmM32
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOehC098CQ
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuNyOY0DHQ
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALzhZVgTtk
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVUpLNmi3g
Warzheil sniffed the air around the spear as his I saw mana swirl around it, his eyes narrowing. “We call this metal Collosium I can smell tell by its mana conductivity and smell. This is a fine weapon. I don’t think you should sell it.”
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeru39NwAB
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs3CU0M5oG
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDJGsbLFRB
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcnPdn0PB3
He waved a hand. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, trinkets, mage staves. They’re everywhere in the wilds—no one trades for them.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW4fj7pMeq
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33PBnWNKws
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVIuRuOQ9V
According to what I understand, in this world, main currency is Globet, found in dungeons or traded on toll plaza of the Dratnir Bridges in exchange for metals, Gold’s is as common as dirt—Kobe river’s full of it. Platinum, Silver and titanium are used for smaller trades while Adamantium, Orichalcum, and Uru are used for bigger trades within the nation or to make equipment and other things. Most folk never see those metals in a lifetime. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYkDQl6u6f
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlxjOhnwm4
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbTOFPbdTw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnjHkECST4
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff21BGffMP
I let the information settle in. Resting for half of the day, trying to process the ridiculousness of this world.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxG1vhe4NQ
It is almost everything that Earth isn’t, full of resources, Abundant with flora and fauna.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWrMyJlgtX
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLa6EI33I2
I remember about the book I found in the forest when I woke up and search for it but can’t find it so I ask Warzheil about it, thankfully he saw it coming out of my torn suit when I was asleep on other side of the river so he hands me the book with a curious look, but suppresses the urge to ask about it.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTuTfbSxFR

I open the book to distract myself and this time it lets me open new pages, and it seems like I have missed some of its page.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKtWqAYov5
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzePURWABO
I read it for a while and realise that it’s the outline of my journey so far, to clear my suspicion I turn another page but the blur effect occurs again, I sense it more clearly now, but this time instead of going back to the previous page again, some text appears on the page.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEES5ln6bq
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCH4uE6YXY
“The night fall will deem the owl worthy, its prey will have no path to escape, but the night houses many threats, beware beyonder.” Is what the text says on the book.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaE6Bc9BXa
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JawTNAoEq
I rub my eyes as I turn the book into a head rest and sleep, I don’t have the mood to translate some encrypted riddle. Maybe my Sanskrit has dulled over time. What does owl have to do with being worth of night.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCSkjyD4o6
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfSNn7p5ih

The next sun rises, Warzheil tries to wake me up, but I feel like a sloth, and in my laziness half of that day pass, heat on its peak as the sun hangs high in the sky, I finally wake up from sweating. I may need to find a place to take a bath soon.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKiFdwzOid
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd271XHFoII
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupF19VK5yi

“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Nnp8U6O8
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G3UIvJARD
“The plan to get into my forge, that’s what you missed.” He says as he hits on a very good looking Talwar on his makeshift force area. But then he cools down the sword and puts out the fire by pouring water in it from a bucket near him. The fire makes a hissing sound as it dies.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK3TdfYDE5
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rkx3d1ucG
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjRz3SaAcQ

“I can’t believe it no matter how many times I see it, no wonder it’s so expensive. How about you sell one of those and make me a dark Uru weapon too?” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCaARBNGyH
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIYV3H1Qyy
“You should quite talking small when you are in presence of THE legendary blacksmith, lad. How do you think I got to know Drax? I am the best blacksmith of this era. Drax also had to admit when he lost to me in weapon forging duel. I have 7 ingots of Dark Uru ingots, dozens of Uru and few hundreds of orichalcum and adamantium ingots in my forge. I may look like a smelly old dwarf but I can buy kingdoms if I want to.” Warzheil says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9fVCagN4k
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZdiWRXnxo
“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl1qiBjolc
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MEkmG48IX
“You are boring you know that, Lad, At least act to be excited. I worked my ass of to get them. Don’t you want to be rich? If it were someone else they would be out for my blood right now” Warzheil says in a plain voice too as he unfolds a big map.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq75hl2NQMF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdzmDhUMI
“Don’t get me wrong, I have always liked money, it makes life much easier. Maybe I should earn lot of money and then retire somewhere peaceful? But you and I both know I can’t, not right now at least. I have 2 contracts to fulfil, one is Geolard’s and another is Drax’s.” I say286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXOVr2JUBy
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZRYeev7Ml
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbCfUa1R6r
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI97BuQ6JR
“Nice try, Oldman, but you don’t know me enough just yet, I wouldn’t be THE legendary Hitman on Earth if I succumbed to greed. Smart people die winning, wise are those who win against life’s baffling choices.” I say286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZrtBRohOQ

“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts627Bv3FF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvnmawbUgn
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnzS8lq4aV
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeb2Sj4x5e
“We are now in the southern Kobe Forest, where the Demon Lord have Goblins as their allied forces.” He says sliding his finger to the right of the map across the sketch of the river into another forest on the other side of the map and stops his finger on some kind of hammer and anvil that is drawn over the map manually.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzyEJCv0xx
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZuq32azLB
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlWVhuyD5l
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZRP3f4SuJ
“Why?” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYMnp0B3t0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMaFTdu7ke
“That’s what they are, wandering tribes of ever polluting green shits. The demon lord wanted me to work under him to make weapons for his generals and armies, but thanks to Drax’s letter I prepared to leave just when the goblins started their capture on my forge, maybe he knew it was going to happen so he sent me the letter on the right time. But I ended up screwing up big time and the goblins chased me for days.” Warzheil explains.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxdCUXZDA7
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6maWQmWt3
“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xHPHrRRud
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRwZrHqfnK
“You said you were an assassin didn’t you? Make a plan, Unless you suggest going with me, head-on against hundreds of goblins, mage goblins, hob goblins, champions and their King. Who knows, maybe even the lich is there.” He says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0OPKQRSVh
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ErZgRSPk
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4d30891Xz
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3UsOCqdFs
The lich sees Ronin and Warzheil “I feel like ripping the very flesh off their face, but that damned Dratnir soldier was Insanely strong, so much so that it destroyed my army, even wounding my mana core with his light and cosmic attacks, I tried to claim it as my own minion, it exploded, I am in no shape to fight these two monster, especially this Dwarf, he is cunning fox, hiding his powers of lighting authority.” Lich thinks286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3bcEwR2Ik
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj1wvmqHjq
“I must alert the goblins of their arrival.” As he passes near ronin and Warzheil he gives them a menacing look. Which doesn’t bother them in the slightest286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxDfyS8iDX
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny8PBv7qzi
“Hey, Bone head, what happened to all that confidence? Fear we may kick your ass without the help of your army huh? Or did that Dratnir Soldier do it for us?” Warzheil says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZG7EexCyx
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hYtC1gDvm
“It won’t be long before your head hangs on my dragon’s tail, mortals, we will meet soon.” The lich replies in a domineering voice, but we both know he is just scared.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidAHlwPXJl
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKVbOIZkcY
“The Dratnir must have given him a run for his money, I guess he had to abandon his army on the bridge to find a wyvern in the forest to fly all the way back here.” I say286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClDI5wVdVb
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfzUEQiwrP
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVk1JtDQXY
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfcrl7pcq4
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKgvhb8iV2
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0sFNeQ8XQ
“Shit!, he is going to alert those green vessels of filth.” Warzheil says with impatience evident in his expressions as his eyebrows curl inward, tensed.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLea5IEiJK
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PT0JrU9Cq
“Do you have any other way we can get inside the forge?” I ask Warzheil
“The owl… the owl is worthy of night.” I say as a though drifts into my mind. Maybe that riddle has something to do with our next step.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fgqIOek7q
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelrFTEBtba
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexnJDkWoxD
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8jR3AdbNB
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdCaRAlKHM
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUAtHnbsxA
“See here” I slide my finger over the text “The night fall will deem the owl worthy--its prey will have no path to escape--but the night houses many threats--beware beyonder” I say which confuses Warzheil.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVw6VeEr8B
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf7nGHl6CV
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRn7zPtUEK
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk7sH1UiUi
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJBDRyjlCw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoIhuK0xVG
“That’s great…now” I slide my finger further on the text in the page “The night houses threats--beware beyonder. Which means it’s referring to me, as I am beyond this world. And the night houses threats, which means that even though night is our chance to strike, it might still be risky.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGnYsmL5HH
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsXqaHrKbw
“W-wait, I don’t understand. What you say makes some sense but, why are you sliding your finger on an empty page? Is this a habit of yours I should be aware of?” Warzheil says, which turns my excited expression to a confused expression.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLhRwMcgDs
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzdv6AMe6b
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pVSx9b6Mm
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVI2iIEzC7
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaoJtWBbSV
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wsgPSC9zE
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aMNbdxK7i
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIDIuzSLA8
“There is a secret passage under my forge” Warzheil continues “Its gates are made of adamantium, it can only be unlocked from inside. but I think your spear can melt it in a few minutes, we can carve a way in. but we need to start now as at night your blade will be visible.” Warzheil says.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ioiYKJcqm
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLF4ZTnTqv
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSW1qFZUZ1
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgb2k3STlz
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglRVoN2WPi
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg9ChmF3xm
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNgrTDSr1s
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavSNCnMJMR
“It’s your loss if you don’t want that stuff, I have a strong feeling that we will not be going our own ways anytime soon.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXYUt46Jrg
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetVcT0coIG
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dH9ivzLIs
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8tMq0701S
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QEM2UyGtz
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbI92pY6WY
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwETUmAg4M6
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4XwAQkQkr
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaem3dBHk1X
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpGGx8HHcf
My eye is very convenient, although it feels very uncomfortable seeing things I don’t want to, the wobbly energies in the air makes me feel nauseous, but I need to get used to it soon. I can see the outlines of everything in my line of sight even in this fog. I was seeing normally when we were not in the forest, which must mean I only see different according to situations and see mana when it is dense or unless I want to see it. I don’t understand how this even works but as long it keeps me alive, its an ability.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aJENUMr3L
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4z1Lu8Ax6
Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2S1z66jts
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIxjaK3jPg
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1gviTeMVS
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7MJjgOrR2
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK0yZiYrHX
“That’s reassuring….hmm” I say but I make a questioning face as I think about possible scenarios where the plan can break down, or succeed. Thank fully Warzheil also had a map of his forge so I have a raw Idea of what I can do once we are in. spear won’t be an option in there.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapNzhAZ3zG
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfkzNrbNga
We talk amidst the guttural voices of goblin-kind carrying faintly through the air. Fires burn in large pits outside, with goblins working tirelessly on crude weapons and Armor.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG1K17l5b1
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlJoTV7VJ7
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvkWQJKSNd
But that’s not all, I see some skeletons as well, which means that they are alert now. But something feels off, the security should be tighter, then why isn’t.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn1Y0y21mc
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BJZw6yHUt
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWg26PyzZA
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd0K1CxjqV
“As far as I know, the demon lord’s generals don’t get along with the lich, he is like an outcast to them, even though he is the most loyal to the Demon Lord” Warzheil says286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIWVgY4LZn
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Ljipi7T6
“That must be it. I don’t see any prominent figure here. Which must mean that the king with his champions must be in an argument with the lich. I have seen this happen in my field a lot, even when I disguised myself.” I say “Even if that’s not the case, we cannot afford loosing sunlight, we need a way in by night.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGojBmxaoo
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD17fOFMxx
“You are right. Lets go, there’s our ticket in.” He points to a large pipe beneath the forge, its bars glinting faintly in the sunlight. “It’s a water outlet I built as an escape route, but like I said, it opens only from the inside. Let’s hope your spear can cut through the bars.”
We approach the gate but suddenly I see 2 goblins coming our way so I yank Warzheil against the wall.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7z6oS7TEZ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9wa7YDlb0
Warzheil looks like he would cuss me out anytime but I signal him to keep it down. I pick up a pebble slowly and throw it in the opposite direction of the goblins over their head which distracts them.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjhRXyMaXG
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNNjeHfSYY
It’s a good thing that goblins are idiots. I take the chance and kill both the Goblins using my plasma spear which cuts though their tiny necks, is it me or do the spear feel small in my hands? I normally don’t miss with my spear but even back when I fought the T-rex, it felt uncomfortable. It looks like I have grown in size too.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj5rRRKF9T
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV33LFj20b
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN1fpxktCx
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uduB0pcM8
I kneel by the pipe as I put the goblins near me, and activate the plasma blade of my spear. The bars are tougher than I expect, made from a mixture of copper and adamantite. It takes a few minutes to cut through them.
“Hard, isn’t it?” Warzheil says with a smirk. “I debated using adamantite for a water outlet, but it’s proven useful.”
“Just keep quiet, old man. You’ll get us caught,” I hiss as we slip into the dark, narrow tunnel.
“Don’t boss me around like my mom. Show some respect for your elders,” he retorts in a low whisper.
I roll my eyes. “Did you finally go senile?”
“You little—”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvrGTmZkx0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhvvz3s76c
“Shhh…” I cut him off as we hear faint footsteps echoing through the tunnel. We finally got in, I put the goblin’s body in the sewer water and slowly head toward the voice that’s getting louder.
Two goblins appear, their torches casting flickering shadows on the walls. Moving swiftly, I dart ahead, my spear slicing through the air. The goblins barely have time to react before they collapse, lifeless.
“You really are an assassin through and through, huh?” Warzheil asks under his breath, impressed but unnerved.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPzkmYhsKY
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡondCUWZ4Cg
“This is the most crude I can be as an assassin. You haven’t seen me in action just yet oldman.” I say, trying to flex286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYfbEzKpwL
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKqElUTFY0
“Hoo? I will be watching then.” he says with sarcasm.
