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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY42ysQOSR

“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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c1iTguX1m
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn05NYrTOX
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7afmi0mbn
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLiFK8z9pJ
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOLbNcChK
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQqUiqGLUa
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh4mIjrnyP
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpCrsRb2rz
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN84CcSUSd
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANGbv8gy9z
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7qGUZuxhp
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9zVcfpSl6
“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 says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGM1laz8FG
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PAGTIZ5Ic
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6TN9a3wW1
“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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ1bAGkdJA
he says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i9QBPvKQM
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgQZWada8
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP93JAdHT0r
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSzlOD3C1h
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjPtlipaCf
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW30S3xvvD
"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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv5AAAh2vT
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzaghJBslB
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy7fJ5iFry
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5gGh1OY7M
We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBLDPx3sFq
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bIgMcDtiT
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ig66cDF7q
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcsrZPVDeq
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYzVmZfWKp
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdsV4MSQc7
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBECzd744F
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYjkOFQPgL
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq5Uvj1RnP
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3IhKxODQf
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 forcibly251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yc0Xn0lEt
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCUpM4B2Db
“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 says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3jO7S8mJH
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WDkagzjWz
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MD1sQ6c3I
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbxqkBMk0u
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPC6SdJjlC
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyg0raWjA2
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWzAqKSNYK
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqm1kfupUX
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASbOpw6kF3
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M72GGBZA4
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52hBceRz9g
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWvNt3NyXt
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ujTNCCdx
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1dT30AOZp
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3whSOkUlK
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRiAW4nKg8
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lf11DSaD4
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMcFH1Ya4M
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv8pAfQRK5
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQQV6hSQtZ
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfoWkhBGt3
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovgTlZGNc6
“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 sarcasm251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkKb1d1jyK
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF6S5y7IFV
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV1OoHNR6L
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqXhZGwffj
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCePyTNvHf4
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Czduv72YW
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6egAwoi5E
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUj5bBLKps
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w1uHjRHNd
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHcufwl0nW
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBQa3bivju
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0PkOW1wsR
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkmZWVPif6
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQTXRlQIUN
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ASdY8D8mP
“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?”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFGXjCmtZs
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4sraxH8pQ
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDirFYJeZBy
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24tyIoN3FO
“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 ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXVx73zGVA
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwpWuFOIOZ
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSi4DMoXxc
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97YdCdGwxz
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhfDbCjhvC
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Ic7E3Hsy
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nh4rLi1SA
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIztXZUu1k6
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyXdWfDqys
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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBZFDsWIZZ
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyzO70pnDg
“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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwzLDM4F2r
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH05R5BMEx
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr385zCwwF2
“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 ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5rMOkue49
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jl1Ikur6R
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7exxE90PSJ
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDDo3wAL8P
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iK76lQiYT
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwKQvaQlih
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyJ7ADk5pT
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZUZgrinhR
“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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZxbggpXpF
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rwkmb9BZd
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqauEdJXVSK
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWyErqi6Z1
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEEXKxHeKT
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jtntl1SLZ
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSQLfx4Xnf
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qTB153SEd
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LABLSwid8
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE9VjDoIki
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4R590clbi
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVJwK4Ht7I
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH5jKHNyQg
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR75aqRRJ4e
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG7i5zAInt
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegH1EYj5CM
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIvPcqu1Ot
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KDmyqEd96
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MeEYrNBzC
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeEG85xF16
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxCpnYe74O
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50dovIKXH9
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojpMV4bB10
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkKhJSA6aw
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nYeYRgkRD
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdp1VZEgCt
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DXE0mAdCX
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes2ZA8vh45
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgEOx3f8zU
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUAOespP6u
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmqj7vQlSw
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L46DmhuLn
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXSmZyvA48
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaD4EsbRIj
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SEuimFQXj
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPfS9qWId6
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT4zNiOEbd
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu8DQb7If4
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJk5jetZ1t
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMHMxP7xyR
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Tkkj7aXd
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZjN6DMGxb
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZhrY6VIfr
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwXlGxTYjV
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJi77ZL9IA
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1LV48DT26
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmn9EcmJYy
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHVpzLxgS8
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoOkKvrJYp
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa9x8u9JrU
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj4cy4ao1l
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeGJi1t4x9
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpDffUX2uh
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpShetkS3RT
“*laughs* I need to note that down. *Laugh*, its been a while since I heard a good joke.” he says laughing251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztsfbWzMo8
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOVznn3Ijm
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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5adkArJmm
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH4tYzxtRj
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BFhC9AJn4
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRMoatoyJo
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxKStTxSoG
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlZ2SY3OCG
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm6oHjC7Za
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCzQ5FLeBL
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Na1Onxdh
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnGKgW0UkK
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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfreU037RS8
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCSzP5jMje
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawWY1RJbfd
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx82p6o9CO6
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkswjJ0um4h
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnUKB0LN0Y
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX4Cwjhz9h
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39cgNcFQjE
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lhavyMkpK
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQqj32G34C
“Don’t know.” I say251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2R9V9IJo4
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e0Fd8whww
“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 says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Bi3sYeI3
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UHD2Eddrx
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZegBp7YP2C
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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn70EPuAVJO
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCoWi8ULbM
“What about diamonds?” I asked251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcehjHTQ6E
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RIIOMpQOv
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOkvZ4srK7
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rXJuYy5jr
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1CRXTtjmP
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeFlRv9AHi
“Dark Uru. Rarest there is. If anyone knew, I’d have half the continent after me.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGTCEFaLDk
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKd4SVnhxl
I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZQpb5QLDv
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zkJ8f6ilZ
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT4NT1qSP6
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzty7JtWkO
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VzMli4EwH
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.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yUw7XQFB4
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH39wJqVbNi
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCQkSA3rhw
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkVJ86j6xa
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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyB9RkhGH3
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfMeOnge8c
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KMsSGSjVs
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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ZtNql39T
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALc52PrKx3
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKJ4Atomlt
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3SZUJeT1j
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv2apC0zJy
I let the information settle in. Resting for half of the day, trying to process the ridiculousness of this world.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gGpnRkCF8
It is almost everything that Earth isn’t, full of resources, Abundant with flora and fauna.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaNw2w8LMM
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG2CdzzSNH
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkMIeOf2mq

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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xuX6T5KFA
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I27TPtgqD
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHqms1s1j7
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x9SXrkLGX
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjSRvRJ6ON
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH6bUPFQsF
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT01qWj4lJD
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWacDe7jAu

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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsakmtN4Mh
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoe5mA92kX
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WJyEEwcpG
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz83b0qDnD
“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS4cxDF5Wc
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB9LAlQ4Fb
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07NbLqWpST
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR3F23AofM
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloB1imwZSX
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NK9nHQpcb
“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 ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JRUWKnmve
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3j5NWojfi
“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 says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIC2iQKYPR
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL6ApRoJQd
“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7BvYWU0OD
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOWAI4576b
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFlxzK3TUQ
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktR1Ny7F9z
“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 say251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGhBusQV5Z
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN7QlQhRCi
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnq5RPQwiX
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupJlRFJGzk
“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 say251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkUCik0NiI
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOOudGZ0a6
“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xOBPjx2AG
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQNdErOZSs
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQx6u85Djy
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r6PhrcRTR
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG6rxEpN8W
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepDN9JKQay
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqePvON8tiG
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4CNeGAEfV
“Why?” I ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTnFjd2WRb
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilBfY5PF3D
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA3ndaBjNB
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRiP0SWUJo
“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg7HSGX2Ui
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCltwLiTNo
“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 says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkaOgByP3C
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYuh1cw1lq
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ymmOfTlP
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMWihLdMhh
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 thinks251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkqAaYwz4v
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEmOSUDN9o
“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 slightest251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDmzHxjxfY
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTug2FEqIt
“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 says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIeU8XFBMi
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZs2LNyfTg
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ZEfixjNW
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwoYbdbQ5G
“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 say251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX4MxBOLC6
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhI6NkoVBJ
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcZWelHSzZ
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2rN34hhor
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOLQ6TMX5r
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJvfkOMMcj
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ711GgKhUbc
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0QfWKPGk
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnkithxJeB
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL21nsVDPAl
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoXhTAwpL9
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohh2E7eGwg
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylOrR3sTvm
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpGTXlCi4n
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVHO2esNC2
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiMbyt6fkX
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw6ZxGQnt7
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpaEMV12Y4
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOHh9Lw310
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdoJB2NlOC
“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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRNUP2cLeg
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D7uubeFak
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOuyB99FpM
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUaImBlpil
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU185TQzIGM
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DdgJym1NE
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sr0nPQn3v
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPzJOOHU3Z
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxPIverYWR
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TTeDyfdrN
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjdguZsah2
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuAsNwZzXm
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetqNAkjiL4
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IlHwQiONe
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLagm0SouPD
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZdJPofk3C
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSZ1hxBSSt
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaJN9CbBn8
“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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBAF2At9Bt
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70tr7BN4Yb
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLDDJwho6J
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0VX3yLq0f
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQr280qjdG
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNVbciQaJa
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUKDsCkBaD
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfRW5rKJ66
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6sLE1Eg1z
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKStkhhe4FR
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q27rDXtIp
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW3ZS2Fdqc
Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8DBqxepUU
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYJuw37uyD
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBeA8Eq6Iw
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFavOhz4aU
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp8O8IYm4y
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskKzP9ItbT
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUqPB6fd27
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRiiKOTv6j
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjo8y7R7HP
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvEWfe5bHi
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIqw5Lheo8
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN49dbjwxG
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgZqkAYgGS
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32d4HO3Mby
“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 says251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLWJd4uoai
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dVRbT7G21
“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.”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnbTPdyAIS
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgxGgax0Pn
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7pptrVQjq
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3dPzlca5L
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTPdKgKnB6
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqkgiTC0g8
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNzf0ktTTS
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKK9CK0Ioy
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xDJoqsrpJ
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wf1C07Iro
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—”251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnsYz8bTGJ
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHge6XhEr03
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk853n4mCf6
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirCt2C2p3j
“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 flex251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeynfId6A2t

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