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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbmYttA9Vf
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CuVKNQOhM
“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HybZ7G5NS
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwazURbYgB
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz1w89xLoA
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXs04A4y5
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7tRhiyGA6
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYSZ60AugI
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuz9bCQb44
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh1vvUAIuA
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5BuktHKqT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUCoS8evtq
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBXf1d5qeT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxtUxpeUQp
“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 says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVl1FJ99Uy
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUauq12bCbK
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9qIYhFfyS
“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl583bF402J
he says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HnJ93j79L
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq3Zuyvy1w
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z72O86zuF
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKVro4O0UJ
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf34NTNItyb
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsQwnCcH8T
"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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTG06NqKdE
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPwyWwN6iz
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn7405z2UO
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSihtpzX388
We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkQpg5XbVc
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkFRYfZIcI
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioDcqdpbcm
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVk1yv18hb
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNTRRUrgSi
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA1VUpuGWI
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F2tMNaArS
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwX2i5gDXR
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxHcjJqPDH
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFuey6HPRA
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 forcibly265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX2pdNoii5
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSFWrEhEDB
“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 says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKWw0QUYJx
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMdYnJguV9
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8BVQVw4Lp
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDnRgoFCGF
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPabirBp3E
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAuoO1whAI
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveOL5YBs4T
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ5ifvC2bB
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRIgfF8QH0
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DZJLI21vo
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWma1ky8lP3
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLerMviUo8
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Ti3hLG6Y
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG2dB5SpGK
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX4Vd4cPfu
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HxFwoZo60
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtodWDQAL6
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiFLn06huP
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzHxKmZFqp
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaSejv7n2u
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7VfBsOqVD
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpLR4fk24q
“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 sarcasm265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwotqY8F4Zv
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNPZm9NEXd
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aXGrZ8JjG
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJDa0lwaS7
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8ljIeLQsM
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnT2rZCwgM
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyWjUcBRoK
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGYSP5ja4i
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtHyC8NKl1
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mKakJgUyU
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwjMaECOfi
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVVeFfLj6o
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAKSb27GFH
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MybPlYUjM
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcfVDIMhaG
“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?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVjDsaWBXa
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EZVrn7cZE
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0iAMCUgRM
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcibk6sGMN
“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 ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pLdwPZtJp
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkV0TBrm0I
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRm1oDsm6a
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqXyFOkGVL
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwwOHC8cbp
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNYlQoRT9b
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O67zCajeW
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEORfQiXc1f
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PFuSmEpOM
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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnGPoCLNGi
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIaKWqSqho
“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."
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNhL9gTL3K
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7HUOpZi9y
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XlsmhOxYT
“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 ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiOnA9lI3e
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogQercJG88
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ939vzT288G
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEkE4P0KbD
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWu36E4fCK
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY96rEMrY9V
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEo3hPxfp5
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEajyvptpw
“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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZTOT7p4dY
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlWQpC4mh7
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtRinZCaRd
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Pr2KJNXy
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9NsMHZTe8
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWFi6vdZxC
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV8G3HCQSl
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡietokgr4AF
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq64ZWxsRpT
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dCP8f99Dd
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ7CjDyYYD
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgx6YTuxPc
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzWzjPR4Nr
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULhyOrY4xm
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.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqzhtWrs2K
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChzNk7PJlO
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ms8OFPL0j
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQd1uvnVyh
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP8C9jgPmq
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIMa9icKEq
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr7lz2sJ5g
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGSz1b4baM
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3HfcJGSPL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzUSFicguJ
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRGYsJGNTo
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygaUVSTE1m
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkfPCvctUv
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEVWsxA6X2
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCJnNqVshB
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaZheA6Hc8
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzsYoNtD5C
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorAGcuiZy6
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lg03sjbCV
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTXsAH6J5T
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwoOp0JfPC
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl28L1fGys6
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwRY9zxoez
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYEXWoJgHh
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5K2CVIZYE
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWkM5o3rXZ
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8uzklgHbY
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGcAln5eXW
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYtnIohVYz
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWs2ihfbFG
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbnyrT9vJD
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDaoktsCde
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfSYYMuiue
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIDHq9eMRF
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAgaanVUof
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1U3ZTmXkw
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NOQuftQSz
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnqLHYfQ0Y

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPSBiPu1tf

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzlm3wrDIa
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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNK2dsAgHX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhALm0mo2hW
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxKivTYJfN
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aYO3fxHTn
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QR4hOKuvk
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4hyEhcBvS
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5suaRfbSP5
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnuXMquIRt
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFiBtNkAcd
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfpL5Lmy2e
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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62C1MfQBzj
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SO4hg8sO1
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQhNFldW9k
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1vqemVd0G
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gbnj5b0FO
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZmgCw4sFM
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76yb1JDQXQ
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡridFVikohE
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTNa25wRi0
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYhtCgYIXS
“Don’t know.” I say265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AwxT1S4lT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXygz9NmbA
“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 says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuZem2J4os
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNEG6bhcOw
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl1z5vr1ZV
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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3XiCuXMpT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRt0UIt5eu
“What about diamonds?” I asked265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VzKRLoHiT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V7I0BjinO
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs6mu9ZpBt
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffipZkC2zu
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagDVVBekih
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahUcgsdvtG
“Dark Uru. Rarest there is. If anyone knew, I’d have half the continent after me.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoD5B8NvLa
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXdVwpqpd5
I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHKFkLuiAW
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX01stqIn4I
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxcAcK21sf
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZKcEnSV96
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESYYm9l1mF
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.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rZ8iAxewp
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqMSiVCufx
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOQAt2zb8J
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Rv1sftXp
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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl6InqemoD
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCAX8pEwdY
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjR4elN5se
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. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLA6PuUljM
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpgeVdF03I
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJQg4KrUM3
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHwZmm1Wb1
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVSuKIFQ5p
I let the information settle in. Resting for half of the day, trying to process the ridiculousness of this world.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZblr29YK8
It is almost everything that Earth isn’t, full of resources, Abundant with flora and fauna.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMQ0enCQUL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXicTX5Ky8
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAGa1cOoVk

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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSz4Nzvu3o
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sye49EAMg
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4EWhh7zFT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUm158e4Pl
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4gOa4MT2Y
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDh3c8UbP4
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAcmLzOpBX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3fBbrpnRE

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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigAv7Mp1N2
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG55O85IsX4
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtryuPKezre

“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHbqBJ9Aum
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HHtOaF9f5
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kBwhcnaP9
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEAKktZxs3
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CRb3yeAFV

“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 ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOV750iqpL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkihD21HjCD
“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 says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWBPGByT4y
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyytGWoBi6
“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgaccnXEuv
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uaa9fb7xt
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjKy9KYZpM
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamKnDzWkgC
“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 say265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GBfh3SZsw
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc1g1rk9BQ
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXD3SjXawW
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXsEOh1ThX
“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 say265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjgxkbprQl
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYVkGdPB8w
“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfF7NXO9cR
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcs4egr2PO
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK24kvRJN0Y
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnf0cYX2R5
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTAjDIRnJ5
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzhwsD1fpW
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6rpu2gmLl
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrVpe1257E
“Why?” I ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnO6Ru7EO9
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxIPk4AC8E
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjxA4RVzds
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHhRKgWLnK
“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWkbKagVl6
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSWHFJGJZD
“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 says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR4ChtqqTl
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLRg5pE5qk
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7bKWXQiNd
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l7gOMumr6
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 thinks265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPWEN9Zh1F
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DjNu6c4EM
“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 slightest265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg07FWdUX9
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaV2BPhyDm
“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 says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgOudcgS3h
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7klu7y49rv
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqbzkbcu62
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlymsvhVae
“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 say265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14yTsPjneG
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpu4J6hIGQ
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDJeojXXw8
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aLSeT4sxj
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIR4utHLab
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLiWSUXIbo
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxqyPK6Ibz
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv5upKQ21b
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoW9Nt0u7u
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIBq0KIu64
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD2G2y5tm3
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulunTzmOgN
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcLnwbzv4n
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2BIbyyHQf
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMp3zgE77S
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eXOiXAk1W
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89yIsyqL8C
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3GgEdArle
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pF8JUzdOX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueTp8wdxPC
“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mUe8qMRZi
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTiNwKLU5W
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnBVHOK5Ws
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupkdYNLkLB
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tri6Yw9i9
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28QyPVDJ63
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UlfYEKEEp
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wuXlkWcDs
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFR4LidBJ4
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJBfRAcNLK
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2MWJ6Qc9K
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA0AtIAlIg
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiAteop9kX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYnOiaphk8
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYh06meVa4
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3NkMa0Vd1
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Qe78H2MR
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTDUAlFVJp
“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzRxkQAMeo
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp18WEP9LCH
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLzQ4J60AX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlvSyyxFra
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiFmbAqR0S
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGxDv6x08M
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWdaVf42nV
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPcDmnNE06
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tQ4d5zHTq
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd67T9lDlH
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGKcj22sa9
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8MnxZWCKS
Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VgGENb3KU
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa2v2XILhA
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDSngrOgU0
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTaNL7FZiQ
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBaVUaYQsg
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSf6ARZ2Sr
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlVZ6PMvVY
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmXck1tsDn
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtrBidEMOS
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPh2wlJtx2
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBCQX8GnAu
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5WESjMAkU
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86rt5uWLcl
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDA7ydZeZU
“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 says265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgzH6iif3J
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxMwOSEg7Q
“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.”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXWNMKDTPV
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAvX8rnhzv
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDB2Xzmrga
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxZzCm3ldS
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAxNElBU9g
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKTbkxmTRw
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqQHP21ibz
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ9QRQ4RCs
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL2dXFjcms
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEkP12eOTQ
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—”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XSDbMrqi6
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYhwhE7Dyb
“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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN64vrrp8aB
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBczy55gmP
“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 flex265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi2II20jbg

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