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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh9xsLod0e

“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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwtmX1XF7E
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMt34r7vVE
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhrJcLC6Ax
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCwgZ9prlZ
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvaCpRFk5S
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MhDIrtrz4
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjz0XLI1Lu
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oiUiARcy7
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAnKIi3maR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl0KiIIese
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFL3jdu0aG
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRTYcWfMqH
“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 says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb3bcWWFDL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi7LuotFVY
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk28WMJTaI
“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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoMSgdjhV8

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVvrOnDIqV
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJQQyamOqz
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUsn02UHoq
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZjRTxclqL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIc2Aa7hig
"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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygh6Edfsuw
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5u1rT8mjW
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtEHDSW6ma

We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6SFDjTBNq
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5NBbeB2hB
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH11YqABG94
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CNHd59gnZ
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDVJLoIXKn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lmU9GBPg1
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEiLgpm9bt
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyegk9D0fy
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcblBdLyXj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxSVTkoUWW
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 forcibly146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh2MDixkTw

“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 says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xct9o0wY0
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3odAYhsvc
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJL3JX8aRz
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQutTlmfmx
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxL8ETmWtd

Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrA4ByB6xe

Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk4n5IUnYl
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaszROn682r
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTm5KdDUs7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso8whtYp79
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7kV7pvTMr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEGimUKhbF
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre83ErtueU

We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgheIYkZhf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOtTn5yYNz
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15xIFTq32n
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5F2r054I7
“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 sarcasm146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAcWMtVnuk
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCpzvluXQn
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt1aQnpItE
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgABDQ5GKCX
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3eQqpqnpl
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFE3XhTBPD
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oKK3gwvhI
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONXbsCJ0XL
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIykDrZdxJv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOimmNv4Cl
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwoFOMAoDg
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6AHAP9YWW
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkOIZ2YWSI

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQEn8QYzHK
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2Xyi0h4SS
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIdSXHGASu
“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 ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GPbRjldWI
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MsIQvgnRY
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKhDXfJfqy
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS4Bdz2M0m
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oo2r9KYiZ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRlWMv8Bij
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyxiC8qAgp
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98SBcplkvJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGWlZSnxdh
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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqz52HeFte
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85vVrFkOSS
“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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HiKqwh1OV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r5L7HeH6g
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWdQGQHuKM
“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 ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7fxMCm7i2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pq1DRlaS2
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1SwSQLluO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk5y8Xxgdi
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4AugyHb7w
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXHPzVDnH5
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiMvxObhRb
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAfWCa92xc
“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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYk2TVTaN4
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl6Cn2Lzjk
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tuYFqaHOq
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hjSfRHz2A

“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQukN5A9Lu
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1FrWhWRPp
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklsYPhTddU
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft1j6f4MVY
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2wxhpxE31
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO22ZYzpVDR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4s1Wcb6zY
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x2K7vRYOd
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pk0cRrpv4
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqQrNFoVL2
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2w4igFH4L
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7jYQQmqkH
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqArXQUjTe
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0NiIvhgAD
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQPtkXzBMF
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBxdGtwyjJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYK1MkOklN
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeF2YYKH3i
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GpWSu9Oph
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINGnNVg38v
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ7SwuLeBV
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bllECThjH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS03IJzK8su
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jBL9VEQ91
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKtvZ50Up7
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZTItXKAqr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ618RFffYnX
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVqcc6wFKK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxJDJqUuaq
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zzzoKkt8z
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWihUxiAXA2
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnJoxSPVbU
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReC8MDIGqo
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx0PofPKyR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OtzQOZ5fV
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvdX6risyW
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2GgzMGnSX
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsArXaEP6q
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4CjGJejuS

“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yNUkMti9m
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZlHWV1n05
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rT71Rdmkf
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHrDPECIie
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk6bsZEkqd

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB2TUDxzTi
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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUU0awvH19
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDqzmA6Yxg
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpSs78wb1d
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETZROfZSSp
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITFvpW4Njm
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVefIP69mB
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVJSu1yzV7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkFiXgJIRZ
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCQBojck6U
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBntd6tyx7
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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i1oxcoRlo
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjrrXCRWUJ
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQAwmWAmAN

“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaF7g5GHRd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YQwAiwJo4
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG5AGj5xIw
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0S0OWPueu
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRGWmzkCLw

“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 says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArsiPkBo0p
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zUWH2yBWs
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG8qCPzoRH
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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvSkKocnpp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ZxCNYOIw
“What about diamonds?” I asked146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwLoijldZ8
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyHPzASzkr
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6wI212fdf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg27PdKgi9

I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTEzqekRIr
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszjwVDKZkH
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFtQQ7E271
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFCdZPKpts
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqagKespnbT
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.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwDr2wQQ56
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmex15mEWZ
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyRdL8wbNb
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjkv2g2PIw
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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tw8mcqIiq
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlxY5zsikv
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rd4DAjmOi
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. 146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wpUXQCxSo
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5nzCUjASe
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomcZODQofJ

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXWDrCXZZM
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRecmNeR1N9

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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QtddvAUUL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq4s3pu4Wl
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorCk54AWC6
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiWowcEkcD
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEhoXG1ALc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Llkugiyg
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uxbnj8NQ4

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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vCYLmMke2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdDWvkbzjX
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLco1CTMGMe

“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMmedSrI4b
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9jpTVAenA
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk6gTCCKFY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjoROUDOWU
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjc7LfAmhd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnbKwEd50g
“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 ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHN1x6EJiB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR9FN69s9J
“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 says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAcNKsWeAT

“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NqWMcUrzD
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4M3EX1qjN
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXloglXZ0Dk
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeeCP3P7Jg
“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 say146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y3CUyPz8p
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVQN72YhyS
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowCFpqgYfO
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2RDdyiSTX
“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 say146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG7j4v1mpm

“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2zJUlRk00
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaAgrGSERX
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd56Anit95A
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQJLXj4UKK
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAd1FHdUze
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjdKQZKseM
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmVYBfjkSb
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAhiorK0IL
“Why?” I ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx3b9zkPwj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs1p3MX8LA
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxCjL2iBBK
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqxuXFq7TV
“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStFxyYuNZD
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMBBNH8dQd
“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 says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOH7uYSzKg
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0QKS2Lhc5
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcm9PISA0W
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWcP18dhbh
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 thinks146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGAiYe6kfD
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7bCUKPJIg
“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 slightest146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFxV0Xy1Nf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsP14hu2MF
“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 says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvkF4C5L5l
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnifPEVYvm
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1xOhJIu2B
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpKTqdGmm7
“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 say146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg4P8p4PVD
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENjFieczHE
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlLTHdpEb7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKpYNXrOwS
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3CslDBDJR
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJweLND3OD2
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mi0Li2r0T
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxjj9A018x
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEHJVrf1k1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OxlNMVNVI
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4jODMDCw0
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2lHN0sVGJ
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jiOvAxK2t
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WEzLBmLVL
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXZ9c0Lelg
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gh3Xc8Xgq
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMCKJPW55m
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNLug3Vobl
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4r8XYTCvv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhKZNLaJ9g
“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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm3feyJKEa
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUilAIhQnU
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YhKElVZlJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs5wSjRGqI
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkIkMVFW4x
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyym1nIZjm
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUTlMRQpQT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJK68gbh1J
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv71dDpelf
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBxuHDuaCi
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEColvI4p7
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TOXbgHVbd
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmVGMtV7XY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xj6q1mZeJ
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM73C59G3f
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUeCpAO7BK
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDxPI0TbYv
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7knBuPmmG
“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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKyvthWpg5
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBKLU16G6M
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmui88Ke4o1
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb3ZC8Zz3w
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRkCWHqJl4
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPw225stEk
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfywWawoFB
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PQf300QVT
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk56Nh1uKHV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jVbLZKuIO
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHUwxt2dXI
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVI6tgy4ZL
Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlcNnKayG0
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppSQ0sVtHM
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUOpMic21H
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCQPGTxs18
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gXL9Dk0eR
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUoCqdQAn5
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWNAN17YQs
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZmVzRmwuc
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuHCXeGlMp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtgirxKvXv
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vzS6b60qH
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsNjqkfTCy
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq0Fxjoycb
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgXIq8yeHS
“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 says146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNQQ7pKkHI
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBhDPWVYdS
“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.”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZaFvQb2n9
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn2LN9YdT5
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox6xrTxYdT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5MJmyCy2I
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHjRLVHP3c
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRptsgMHz6d
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppOI1osN1D
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PnOFzdh2C
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfXIphhAmV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB2XBQaSLq
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—”146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPRut67dqP
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcMsKjztUj
“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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY9gqXlAMn
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblurclELaJ
“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 flex146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ApRcoG7K
