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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR5m0nualg

“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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXdu9Zh5Jj
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRtKrjyBQE
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqro50XlDh4
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtFXuLqihS
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfZHN7Crfl
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tZk1JXCLS
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVyR9wErjd
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbD0nUHVJD
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mmw4VxlWq
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sj5D3hZrb
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH09y14Ebdb
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUqoxNWcUF
“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 says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTMRtpfzlk
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEAK3PzSw2
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgRcZjd8Rj
“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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a9lTgpcju

263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxL9OyXxvr
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBsaZ9xpgs
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjWmRoaydh
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4y2TTseF2
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRMai9eVLT
"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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UrYqmDIln
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqng2c0uj15
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKmD6kl4o3
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe3z5OriKe
We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlenbcIb32
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Xhp67Gpx
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sm63LW1Pk
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL67DUpQxlA
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQlrQXNiup
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YiNayO2B6
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xe6IwhHX7
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BXSDrx25M
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNtNh5hvrC
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xmL2Uh2fZ
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 forcibly263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIMgGfgr49
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCsX3hON47
“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 says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGJG3WMxFh
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojNOfmEzuj
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSel9Pf4Xe
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOC6UwgjGT
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUiiyND7aZ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTMRbUaMrG
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIyr74eSE7
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO67IGqOlKS
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqO1jAP2zq
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb6hlEcp8g
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEsbpflGGd
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnewREuWQCA
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiDZjJgXyE
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBofXD6cMzM
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKcgNEYabh
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ249JifGt
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs3oPkm8As
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOq2NHs1YX
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO2gErOAGo
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae1ONPq8Rj
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKaDOkiFfe
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75aWlQj9mv
“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 sarcasm263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QMN2vYb2V
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DWbUVxI1Y
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2f5dpsy17
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXYzZcAGvO
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNa7qiBoQ1
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1FR3gbQX6
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsAm9cVqbB
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke7ZxxUTe1
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINqsDGBOSj
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKARnYU7HWc
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ4Fs6r2Rw
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6O75vO8ry
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDbZ6dYqGX
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YAqaG8OXy
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7KccEBMNv
“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?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oB9Ty245Z
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32FseEsQM7
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNfzda85EB
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu0V5kZK7C
“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 ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntxGgd0Dlt
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyCGaaADfc
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UEIprQYto
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqJPzPZMMa
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUS5zM1ibI
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioTLx3QsXW
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRM8a6Nwus
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9sFNOljbi
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiMiBZHn74
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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BCX6Xlfl9
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhuNVVHiZq
“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."
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSjVrIlrVF
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAxfcDPmvA
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBPfA9o5Is
“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 ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTTaWZXbf7
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKagQMuj6Df
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk3HJ1njKu
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIJE7FO5K5
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRQYVRjJjF
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2epndQdOA
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB39YhlNoQ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYqptvUokY
“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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j0qiEWkf5
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M6emR5zNN
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rlXPNFd0s
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE7X09lcLf
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsFhgkAFaM
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN094GjgDGV
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpECzfC2hJ
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghDvZg63Nh
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vvwN6RBBL
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw39S8URGK
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7BxAPrdrL
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlq61BYvxu
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uMaRCCusX
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKtvA7txzE
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.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hsbuQqUlG
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtk4Yaehww
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1mN3iCOep
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1SDZwkWCo
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30ORDa0bPO
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ewtOFsWf
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiqrmEB5qt
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhEQkpK9pP
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGiagYjoAe
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLmYVmO6QC
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydmgxrztx0
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxduT1emhM
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1eFxUUFdG
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtM5VDky1q
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzulw0UOUiK
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KpHsHZGdh
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZi2Tp43JQ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4uVK7lgFi
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeaQsbcsO8
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl9LFPFOM6
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ioYX4LSIm
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Y774Lh56
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LPZ1ZOulJ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ1dvUzXUZ
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GaATjKHRS
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjU47krXzG
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVeMW3BkyZ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkLt5wRJo6
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOO5C8dm2w
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTyo8cOSN2
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmKPgbdFJo
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutuFaPpSH4
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAwVB9aVvT
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPik4q8N5P
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAKPOUrlko
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI38iuqPZJ3
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7jHicZRrP
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WSPiOBEaS
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i2h4DCamQ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK6ptHPeUM
“*laughs* I need to note that down. *Laugh*, its been a while since I heard a good joke.” he says laughing263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKfXo9U3UJ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYOada8KuB
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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vkRahNUe6
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZCqLUgaVY
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlTsyMuH4K
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpE07DP007
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG4NDPLc11
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6w233AHRY
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt3HBOdBJO
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJAioJR2DW
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAHEs4U857
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt3L6keiId
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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxEJGIyM7s
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yolh3HR7A
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqdkKQZHdw
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCmU67czQQ
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GIkgcOW8S
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScpFGGi3Y6
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltrnkkBJlN
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheIQUrRuS5
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP7RX8We1V
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf19RSWv64v
“Don’t know.” I say263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbZFZzgvtI
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZzwV6fSFv
“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 says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2pZAuZnGW
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LetUbbhOs
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcke0JSjps
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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyvwYJfPkv
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBxEGPuWeV
“What about diamonds?” I asked263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumQruNpcjD
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWfyCy4o6O
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM3JftDHYB
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYxoknpYM2
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpnYE1EJNm
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JjNBvLaYN
“Dark Uru. Rarest there is. If anyone knew, I’d have half the continent after me.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYMD0mrHLq
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlgTBXrsWs
I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UxGJEpago
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoRZYXKpH3
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLTnFxcrYF
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0piOpJ8s1w
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkCse9v0ou
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.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYERpnzq2w
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhSG0IEY2S
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvb0eZI4pT
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZX6kp2PNw
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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhV1kX2oYm
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ruu1KcCIr
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOfrpENnJz
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. 263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd2YjZE9dX
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrCF4TkF6Z
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjZFN05jjw
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N0aD7CrWd
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWMgwPkzMj
I let the information settle in. Resting for half of the day, trying to process the ridiculousness of this world.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLoPxtVc35
It is almost everything that Earth isn’t, full of resources, Abundant with flora and fauna.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL49k5bs8Kt
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRXRM9gObd
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tRztJn6xR

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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmejppcgs6
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM68pxn0gHD
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHWdF03Lq7
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2o8PFv2Le
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9T0wgEdYu
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoEU8MPgHH
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUI2mzumAq
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXGEyIAfIn

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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxDIy9ktz9
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH0CxnBnlx
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRJ5GALxAy
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o3swO2EX4
“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVQYk5KabO
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVsU0CTI6C
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6eBTwGwYn
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUAXGOgwEd
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAv3KgNaFM
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmxSjqedw8
“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 ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEBbU60LkN
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k6ntaZZRb
“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 says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdctR3K8B7g
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡProOqb70NK
“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTGb3Dyimx
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghLJg5WHJG
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7va1gABqBX
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29d0kzhCg8
“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 say263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoxUUx0kGh
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZuS7hbgOS
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPrf5muFNl
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAfVGIDf27
“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 say263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXructRHInF
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrsp2tSZlX
“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOSMCmmx8Z
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JRVNTHX4n
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsSdz3Ba0z
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt97NzxDDj
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLsYUfx4bO
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmC0pCRDcK
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJYihAc3dN
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTEwnPsVZO
“Why?” I ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVYBU65reG
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjr5zQLHPK
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqHPIShlOy
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCsAG4bXN6
“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x8djf1kUl
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0GMWdfkat
“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 says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWALEAfEXS
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd6zQMYTbx
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9mh15pB6q
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CvLOOn128
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 thinks263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV309pC7lQU
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc1Q1LF7TJ
“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 slightest263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8VJOWqbbO
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Q1WAJdcg
“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 says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojmPaUEhBn
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h2XR1Uhso
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlPR2wBxCm
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HCdDL7sTK
“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 say263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYHs05aP7F
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPNPinS2NM
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSxoq5FO4m
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVhMYwX8Ie
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuIpZupRCn
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO88kHiOkzo
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5n9fueKtN
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8sfM4nKIo
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlBJMUkFvi
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtWce9wNN7
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvztNmGbJQ7
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ft4PJPyVH
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2WcWJGUS7
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uk2cPJFRd
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv75d873Ub
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMZhqzukT9
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBrc1KgGOY
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNLUfSScwE
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WsSHEvHsh
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1DxCvQXFx
“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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPJCFbNalg
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ58kCgu6a7
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer0ABNNVyz
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzBJtCp8FH
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgAXyEJz69
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X6ILi1s8D
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQEmyISBW6
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6lI5Z8Vs1
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqxu5xyYXo
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviWqboYTDX
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXav2RWJBFq
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24wdZM0ggq
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukfuvn9dFA
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrAkTXV11G
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqeYBQ2Rog
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwblv0WCj9
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF28AxKy9g1
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeWD8v1QAM
“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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaf1BxWdg5
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKTw7XdhC8
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWcOLbIg9
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2Id9byUf9
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXqsP28x0b
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ213KunKH2q
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKHXAbt8Wk
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuZG3tYTjP
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMZkbDjGVA
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckGr4VpWCS
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZgO5CLLVp
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7LMPJpZId
Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2CNzUoI78
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN989tMmMP
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fz2mWaGMc
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUs8It7pRp
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCc3vddneJ
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBW84nb3kF
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9bvLJnaHQ
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcmWZCFLVE
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2fNh4rVdi
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr98fhEuN0T
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRoqMkgI9Q
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXH7bGKxe0
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfvM0PHkby
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DHrZ9ule1
“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 says263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiWG4G4SrI
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauodU4yBQl
“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.”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXudDHP9CBj
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBcJtCZs2i
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AHHYhIEC8
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTYtrzMR9R
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpADzSitWwW
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLZwU7fVCX
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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonHA8BExmX
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbPpY60X6C
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1rfDQaMZV
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RFdQH5gkD
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—”263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99nRlBmi9E
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUtBF5WzAJ
“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.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLV5ol2F8Z
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mbh4SkKLd
“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 flex263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfcn2WK6VH

“Hoo? I will be watching then.” he says with sarcasm.
