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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVWBrAjmnW
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB45R19MyP
“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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqSZlNYhpp
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvJFWROMCR
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqypF5z2mzy
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfSwqmWvh3
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWmEtQcJp6
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27QnfcYp3i
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeopop5hJc
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgxzrGwZAG
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3DoIuL8Tx
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVkORyAOh3
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnCET1VwH9
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09UmbFwvXg
“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 says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV0RFHC6BK
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QCdZDEHCK
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4NiHW5oYe
“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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAanLDt0Mc
he says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxthzivQ2O
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw2lxNYNlw
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzTdANiMOG
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULd2nL9U2D
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9QLypjdiF
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6mSR3dLks
"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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7e7ZasYLp
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RWDhXhBvg
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOSJG1dlHy
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9wwOhMx5s
We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiILP9YL6I
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIW04CTX5J
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1HFyiVbPf
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEAfNw3mAt
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELacsuBNAh
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeVZpkcoIz
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY7YTxQU6y
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiZmqeGlKP
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutlcgvKI3n
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Obi0Dlne
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 forcibly131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJBRmoHMVc
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOB5GryHnl
“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 says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfohSifMOIy
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKy9QIcm8L
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWtuX9EnDf
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nk1SZnCsu
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrZHgjq3mJ
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIHQMwXApF
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHEWniGiFI
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnfaE3h9lJ
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjauRDC6Pw
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4ieCp94fu
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ294QiqzM4J
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2XZ6pqbB3
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6N3DIrg6L
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sz2ySf6Cm
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjWSBD1MuF
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvkP2RmLOi
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCObc9fnhDH
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmalwFGUTwL
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSIsPqJMoW
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzNDLrD2zm
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJTI2tA6CM
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6HuHfafLT
“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 sarcasm131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8ADxdNuoa
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ae6njwtT
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9aee4Wjnq
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ZJSKB1ZT
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QJF8Sw3em
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq6Le4zLho
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Vpwa8a2c
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFzSVG67xo
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOV2HL3Hhw
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFLDRDJRrX
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrb4dr85Mb
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQKr4f0ii5
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLLCCKEcyp
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyzkEXSKhC
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQxQCQP9wF
“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?”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XmRKgrk00
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGUsj0Jc1l
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0rqnWHpgl
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DhAhRaXsM
“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 ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5slKF3OAU
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWacJ2RbBg
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrqsrquiYc
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBZlIqs4w5
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxvyGpdTA4
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh350HHpW15
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblZSB5rW4s
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWFyaUtOA9
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkzmlQqR8j
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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZs8TIhvpm
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYtP7m7GrS
“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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNRwwRY3cN
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurrTH49WVo
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88T7JNMuUk
“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 ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRisFeaqKVr
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtJWOWTkFW
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ehncZprpu
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1epD8Ar68n
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTP9eo3vMX
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGRaz8IIiP
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqFIwE87ja
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVIAy5HQJr
“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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rSdLdif5E
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1HJLePzym
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwIoICLoIE
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvWKXIB2Y5
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OQAthu1ZW
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs1c7y1pyG
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdA5Xl1fgW
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq0A5Q9lpr
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XAqAy4Dbb
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5HvDeIPy9
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1eScTBj7m
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprvobXg3nD
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1oM09Vqkx
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNfowAIkGc
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChjY951FME
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXFFWiVnUB
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlcWtjd2vO
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnlqxSTGjt
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMv0uCZGbx
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLVqE6S7kd
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVGD69TGBu
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09ZgxpD1Bl
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XSPjbiWBz
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPHkJFe3LM
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRg7PulkrP
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQKmSPwbAP
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZtppwawQl
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOliUeKCvU
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTGoEqS9af
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8gnETYlXw
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXucFDvbBop
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzeej9Qnte
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVMbEuZ028
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1jso30PW
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvPx045r5z
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq63PPvvLa
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dZcROtSYH
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfmbk6RBgu
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9A0dXV21s
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsGFgAjB6n
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTa2APvnbv
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs8yTHLBfH
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1xeexIO0Q
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEv3uChxss
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx86qEfR5uD
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOntWxA51t
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhPj4Aac96
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKij0QVzyHd
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ROiBEjFYH
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQpI8M737E
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gxrynxuBM
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6HSvee72f

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI1u5OvgRt
“*laughs* I need to note that down. *Laugh*, its been a while since I heard a good joke.” he says laughing131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDw89HxxZa
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtKeIs8gRA
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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbgjxiyY4M
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOBubNkQJU
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDwYzNzbT9
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7bploBtfM
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn7AIsq3ou
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclMWA4jFjI
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI4JYzxkrw
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaKBgjLnpg
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSwvHAHMxZ
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhpbcEINu6
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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwhP2QEcqg
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfAfuxvXis
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmytaGK7Wre
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYa9qSrdex
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdwv0dPAB1
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08SPDXiDm5
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9axF4sy3z
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKWd872B9l
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbfOvOlMy4
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnWKQNK4bK
“Don’t know.” I say131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jjaLW8JLh
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPLFjF6J5g
“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 says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56VW10mX3t
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDvvVdbH6y
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8bKOvUFMs
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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CF1cPXVSz
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHorqQy8b3
“What about diamonds?” I asked131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3TPENixyp
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTLuhGufbs
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGGHNOoUjI
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1avciDG1fz
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdENTrqEqr
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2QuRdolar
“Dark Uru. Rarest there is. If anyone knew, I’d have half the continent after me.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FVde9qyWL
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjsWmCnjxm
I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU633n3lB89
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiX10uwa2U
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVehFj2zYnr
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawtIJ6KP2x
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuiIM2tOMS
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.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgoV3mF0uh
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tEKbw2XoA
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK5qIzjZK0
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL42WH6FRt
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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIKm2lB9iF
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUlRzVCmS8
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQvOo5WQDs
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. 131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGxKbTVQwV
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqX3LbUuta
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnGwZvMsdM
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRnEnyAsDi
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uFe8vWwih
I let the information settle in. Resting for half of the day, trying to process the ridiculousness of this world.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDOvlPlnc6
It is almost everything that Earth isn’t, full of resources, Abundant with flora and fauna.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuxpVsBzgk
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGkD55XsRw
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUcddk17bz

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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTUgDtfH8G
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7elTrrVFlK
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaYVUI27H0
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU47Ju9MKT
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvPKmbvAzg
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXhlSthXfQ
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAFGd9Of4s
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ewgmadxKk

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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQhmQHLmn6
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhDoiDUCiI
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsitA6vZp8R

“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4iHzvTJsF
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN2M7FyHNj
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzrbo7ANqv
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7WAQtoJEp
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsPtXGvz9T
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt8CyaEDFC
“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 ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk1g87a1qr
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfO4phPU5T
“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 says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCVo1jti5t
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmI2gS2lfV
“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Ip2UxrGT
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwvbXVkjxs
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqJAxMU9Qm
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjnX44q4l7
“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 say131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh80yySG3b
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0PcLFFWVa
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3tzbiLN3C
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3wFyWvDHT
“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 say131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITGuQcGWvz
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcMlJpUO6e
“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNZVEa98u1
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio10DQz7OD
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDUOyx7VCn
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ0fP9MTND
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewxF1GtNoR
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK4L01CELi
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFQOVEZYje
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6yBGt90Dp
“Why?” I ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H8yQLgC8x
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVXJDXVEXc
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVigU4gRoE
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0vFIAK9cR
“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ySJVIKX8
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6guSDffGz
“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 says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQYIittNPn
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYaYFjZdpF
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXrPRrn4PL
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP8eHekkpp
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 thinks131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g8UBzea5D
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdZqdUAX4h
“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 slightest131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DgwmsocGO
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5WE15f5mJ
“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 says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjxYoHrZBf
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwINLkg9TM
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ToOpmQbss
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85gIdWQFsx
“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 say131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLjfm0cQa7
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YpAo7KHva
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HYDXMYMDD
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxSWcev0UP
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7auSJz0ZXb
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3o77tamzi
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV7xT2HOYL
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdYyRVO78d
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IFdcxavyI
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwxcGgl3LY
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrxspm6ffl
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEaJTJDV7R
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zb5BN34g4
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hXub8ycpI
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF9SyshkI8
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31lif0LPAu
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4PURUhevK
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9H1Fyi7iR
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoW6rfFKq5
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JN7ipSAuN
“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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhF66BZBoM
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFVQS39e7m
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRBOX09Iwh
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv705U9GCQv
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsWR4p3D3L
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrGKmRwiwK
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGSjVRc6RS
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXL2ZLjm9s
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgCKYBeSMN
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfim7cWWAS
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRSevN6lyq
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vkm78hUtB
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4RaPhncYx
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIaXxkLBeg
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTk03AKEBt
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOToq1T0Xi
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJLDjjEK1u
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6kn41zeEQ
“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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdL4CUgY1n
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V7lFrJMSc
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnewH9opkxh
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0NM6zSIyq
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW29z4gW7v
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWuuUbUSai
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5UA6pFaaz
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FndPuYWze
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0b3uNNf7n
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MaFkrrvNy
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq56MOhqUB
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2tTfINe9Z
Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3atXtZHdo
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPvkK2gYnH
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnki5T8IATM
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4DmwZ61Vt
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsYZoYx7yE
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtAxmFFaPt
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN5UaMQ7jU
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPfq1YuiYX
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAoaNnU1JX
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhnoAd3sdj
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwRMpKNgmI
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFBY176M3e
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj8k07eLpW
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAmnHaA0xB
“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 says131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOOsxNcVPb
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b64P39dEs
“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.”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBKiazoEx6
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIeFz7q2bO
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnpYCNmviE
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV4L2b2kgT
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp9CNkzwHI
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgfdow4vhT
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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh8jlJCeJL
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm50LJKDxa5
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafWsTwfalN
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Saw0HXlW4
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—”131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclQfptyqCU
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMzVfIKtNv
“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.131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzYTKhILt2
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT52HNq6hu3
“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 flex131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjtsCWxew5

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