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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARarqUD1DJ

“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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNxNpDheWt
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6y9VDwzaJ
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABSASTX0Ar
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFb4awm7J5
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEjl9sq07C
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVOG2O4mqC
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwVWAignBL
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb1Km8dXAQ
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm9KWKmFEb
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HQLbAKDu2
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZFMGHEVQ6
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgzuZIrH08
“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 says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabJwIZSIfa
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEHVIeHdyb
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsXMlX3EB9
“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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEaz0PdGEz
he says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BEF0BQJci
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49HQrLgQpa
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsApNTAvKCq
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6707rWN6eM
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLQLA8dKlV
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGegXpTTBqt
"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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFhd1OspAM
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ibeYkNitj
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFctro2gXZ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFxdK3ZR91
We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmmBFN7CzB
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt50CrgUT4
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorzSYSFGqc
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEOm0l23T5
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqlaCnURae
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDbZQOqloF
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcnqoQ03Of
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhSAtyJwHu
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS3R5pZKwH
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXHPNLligM
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 forcibly307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7auCaOEV7T
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XCJADBQTL
“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 says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2XlI0D697
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlGoYmEgrI
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrCARpuL7G
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIImSvkERxy
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJSLyrhK2R
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrayCP04UK8
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREX3eWli8e
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP0YzU51wq
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGimw9rrpH1
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgqD99nAPz
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT51aI554Kv
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcLBalwR8N
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCkJJkIanq
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYddmrGvIS
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ8geLjPvt
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUN5q868q
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiQhSohQsI
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwzAfGfrwm
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ByABKW7O
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJxDWIEBXm
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DMTnXVWNy
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIgkg9bb73
“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 sarcasm307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRX9eujx7c
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSM4Lq4iM1
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM1YwKJHaf
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YsGwlT6LE
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TnCjgWigP
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAaHxYCEEw
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYJTikKzt0
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmJrPBz6u5
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wmybKnW6l
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5guIRw4Zfq
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJPmcfkUD6
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjifUfjuRxe
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUxHK3v6BO
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxeHr8RxGg
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXNz1pP3D6
“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?”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPqYOTViqy
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGlobRrinO
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kx5F4du8R
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqtYM4AyhU
“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 ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXWQuPvpwM
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CniuElS6s
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTcpHx4U5j
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcgKwThRoc
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebuJ1jPq0V
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5kz1zXBEp
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P7ijJl3ug
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8up5f5rTRV
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ558ghlSIw5
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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnei48MFSTX
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tygu4ozSw
“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."
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8bfAe5rXB
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61zedX4qda
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyEbY0tt8P
“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 ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtqdgwNRmZ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09JI0qtURv
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZfLfukrzj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHAfLWaytL
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYg3kijOoO
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNgZjYv6i7
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v0hW2Alcz
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mPfmFF2CT
“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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAaogPSjS7
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6mdXHY2oZ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARTc2ukR6x
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgtjsNrqW2
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWTlV3RAsO
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl8LfOd9Cl
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjLLKVooSv
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK7OD4cuQo
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDG2hze2dR
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFhV9jeLGU
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWTl2bN4qV
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ORrUSp5k5
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm397txC0iH
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCwgM93E0q
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.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHNTsae40y
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl2CgWRGxe
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub4GVsuFYc
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgqR3vUBI0
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhxc70tnMr
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsjM2Pc26U
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dh8OpCDFm
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXsT8wFsD5
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKVISLjdBS
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WsE7tFVLa
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz0T3Kbcf0
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMj7IUx0JB
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMVFH11m2H
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfnpgJKctd
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Tn2yAKJf
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIPZrMwJm7
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIatXnGJUij
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aXMjlg9t1
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH918q76iTG
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXLZDmEIO4
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiifhItX5W
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJSDNEyH3M
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34zbR35tLy
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gMChybAuG
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFUmrvxxjm
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7eJmzUEkq
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44SbQMHcdt
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvJMbIzOsE
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aDHh1MLyA
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DmvP0JJ0k
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVQUhGeM0N
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2DMYwRMNv
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UQHb7PQbs
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQnmktXvR8
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PLdMdV6xX
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA99nflJ1R
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgGC8N9g3F
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90iA7UtRg2
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOpaLtxDxV
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjGFrMCbYK
“*laughs* I need to note that down. *Laugh*, its been a while since I heard a good joke.” he says laughing307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GxP5OAoiq
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3003OuxZUc
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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZplWV9tpmi
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyGNUjyXd0
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6suHGMHkl
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHCjFTC1oe
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVR1OJBHwh
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0yPXN1T54
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVXueI6vGO
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCFeijbnUi
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLgs8cwmFg
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaog95U2oX0
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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo0FeDm2OA
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIOXXDnqoT
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sHNLGg8Tc
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe3tNGUCNS
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYBNxPwL90
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd33hCWrgB
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JNPcuDzyJ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagmGwZ3QSl
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN5GP5eiPT
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ATi9OulQH
“Don’t know.” I say307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqO1OEsmJv

“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 says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMENZNHb05M
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnDkEUqh0E
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzVYWvNsXA
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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEWaBcL8gb
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffK0X5iLo8
“What about diamonds?” I asked307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE1km8b5kg
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPQF4rVHvK
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDtnC50bZJ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYs7PApWGl
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1p4QecSIF
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7yyXzSi3w

307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc25CG5S28U
I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ljpDQ2FZ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRZZHI3MyT
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKtviepHW7
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWHs4OoZBi
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpwW01Cvco
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.”
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKW6qH0Lnh
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNmm9phqfD
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO4eaYJTsQ
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay7LixLs72
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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S3vxREyuS
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ73lZSyxX
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwioPaQ1rq
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV7UpvhY5O
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBiCl2GZwV
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6c5bKosQl
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ssMXF982M
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxDUHnIrGn
I let the information settle in. Resting for half of the day, trying to process the ridiculousness of this world.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkfOq2KBum
It is almost everything that Earth isn’t, full of resources, Abundant with flora and fauna.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQakSOig7C2
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvthSguok9
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHen1FN51hj

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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT8fo9Fe4k
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNZJz7XOhG
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLQEvbe6iW
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbyl7r84xy
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSolDsWN4ar
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEJ75LbEHJ
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnbdGFQOQF
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlEyN66Gfc

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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQtd55Pd7K
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpEmYtBQOO
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2iD9TsCNA
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sqIVbGnw1
“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguOP3v4cyI
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMc7cK8q30
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI64Bcwjgw
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHDHUVozSq
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUSwJmbYWn
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd619vDem5Y
“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 ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM68q7gYzOf
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcIA4eerKT
“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 says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNdIPjSyq8
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOPXHBVpnp
“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuwKwflIaW
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxSMQguGdo
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFCt0AWQ74
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtlMy6icAn
“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 say307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwWmG0hplL
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFKLyqcGOx
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadcyRWE311
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TsBBVr3FZ
“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 say307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eCTinuhNi
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGYImDmkd7
“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZl2p9f9Qo
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWD9PU6ocf
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCphNW8iTvj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunFglfDNku
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOkgTSY5Xf
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5VGoTFtjB
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ET7Jx8OY
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjTkbESmrn
“Why?” I ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9nPbP2kAD
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL5BUTbgkz
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW7DTNpPZ5
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIoR7xddam
“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV230CKKEi
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGmy221Tl2
“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 says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXbTZo3Hme
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq0cYBqLXS
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6mIod15sI
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc20ZhXpto
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 thinks307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7plRWFNWJ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgegY6C40ES
“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 slightest307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL5pwwjWWp
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl2UMSRqrp
“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 says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5vtAKQu7B
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW2fk7oSwH
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5quYQHqK9u
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i275jxPRU
“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 say307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpKMCV2Mub
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXJOsE1bao
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcfR8Foomm
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvZ5A5YMo3
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZbzwPXzzy
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN8nvg4Zmx
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDgXPZCxoI
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznH5gEuYfj
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp20b49BtQ2
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvKzhTeD4Q
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aeIzRJ0GQ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpWp5j08Ic
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vpkLm0WF7
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrOq1lHJx5
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQwyvuNjIU
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb71IeqY84s
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUqZmOaONv
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKjxAupYl6
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstSrSwhAkB
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5kJ4edlso
“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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjc2xtpPu6
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQOXdYGGcK
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm4Pbr1tcQ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwMaa7l45o
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR5Y8n6RWG
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYKlMTMmE5
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GFLweVrQP
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0BmzpsmkW
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYZbOPI04t
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDYFWgmw6E
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXbZQksWdj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgWClMXzd5
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7US641LI31
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMpGJzgprB
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J6M6XQ8Us
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJntkS9Bhy
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7aAAOMni9
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBlVEQ4Uzw
“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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigqqkUaVHs
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV5uCvEn6Y
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYIi0FXQGj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFbrZ4oijq
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtaWRTRwnh
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSTrEOo7Dc
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS7pHpgAWe
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MfhXktvFV
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eHEshOHna
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasMR6Qjgsw
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGIN68xyaC
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaAGWLVP7y
Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH4p22rmYF
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFuQVpwmpr
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH6R3HurqG
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIHVVAZd0j
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwPPP6KY6j
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM77AZtWx4r
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTMqLMPSeR
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10EnYJt2X7
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5dO5E3as5
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bBc9ec5bM
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE2tjh5V8o
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMwHdL9tOP
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns9LVPCrqY
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcSua4K4Dj
“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 says307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYOferrPaD
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbgcoYXGlk
“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.”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz5zlagxzY
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHrqQpcrvs
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEvyMwElC0
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0eyD5aEB2
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PAxxDo4ZQ
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMWL7LRXJv
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GYNgmYRcT
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PlT55HgSi
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpkyPs69yl
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8qsCEKjBn
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—”307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzbUanhsC9
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCKtfAx6vF
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJNHQu1y7L
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccgkRh0DYF
“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 flex307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh58zprVeuj
307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiUThca25C
“Hoo? I will be watching then.” he says with sarcasm.
