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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyWz19fyzO

“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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpe8ljTrBV
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDCAjyBSD0
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXoRJg9QrO
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuREAA3e5O
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O2PTu4RdO
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrzU8uqj6m
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFQm3cACgl
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8fG6uFp1w
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILuupL9oyL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bpw6VV9Zu
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhMthLH4Oo
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpHf6Bss9o
“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 says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu69i7izI9
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBC6mo3Y41
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH5RlUHDdt
“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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmePwnCR9gt
he says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeptmuGAsu
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUAVoRqMHM
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1jXbAcVsv
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeTITcUwbK
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3mdOd6y1K
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpHv5RTdgd
"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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMz912I4pU
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uUPV9Ns3c
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6WyInPqzF
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ565nLY5ODi
We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkMcPiWxy5
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl6r6H7ajt
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uHBJVvz2G
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD1WsGKTcb
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRv4AlISVi
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K9pZk0vWw
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwnxtc7EEE
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoucTVznvqT
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0wq6hxvvk
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoKEC2oSFA
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 forcibly356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTlj79DAXx
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOroKErMA3x
“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 says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVKMcDg6UK
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRkz5vPIE1
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIUt1SHan7
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hRD1Xnap5
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk4iXWuuEb
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREEvWWI73T
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsK1yEGHJS
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl1D7KDBnd
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu59K5OCRnt
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA6hNqWlRl
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqQs4GcqXT
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTXPHiFDF6
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyMSJoHnhh
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosYjAinp5e
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAmSiISHJV
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYSOpYi8NJ
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I1zT9ALdg
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56u4ME47QC
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI98qpq1PdX
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA0e6YeoDc
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipLw9GE2Hv
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FrpRcitbR
“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 sarcasm356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pK9N67AEe
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutrOOQHCtH
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1kMchT7Td
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZDG5QpVrA
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkPqjhe3gD
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWInj8JmwH0
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNukG7hOl5
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp9D3kCYyx
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqsvZyAsQz
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTYFYs8GY5
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2HQ5m7qUI
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3v3T0yEMK
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjOxGRyLZ6
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupbyxjUJeB

“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?”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fjlVgCF7r
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3ABPuyvhS
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSpSBwAhHN
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mGgdIotx0
“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 ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o0j7jg3Kt
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbBVr7lEYk
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN0I2P4lLs
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDwjl4q3Tm
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOT85e8F5y
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXD2wJSyVD
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghG4zEoOeY
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifCNz9OYyh
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstuAPXjybr
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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusN1C1BO8R
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJExsDUPMq
“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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwfQQB2AAt
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHQYkuEeod
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8WdTWcz7H
“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 ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC56ORbtE2T
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHDDjPgy7a
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvNvReLw2m
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcVwL7aTdU
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrlJtrTlWK
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcFgdK81Ru
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa06AUa9OFY
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5EfA3Uvtl
“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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXwWZb5SDk
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQKyIM6Gt7
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrnhl4UOnX
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ORV7PS2dj
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yksmmmeg2
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcPUupWL62
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBoqhJGNTN
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguYFE9SuWK
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor8CURF3Fu
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPdMR6sn5O
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb749IFmMCD
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAiNf4zFwb
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm1zfN4glr
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmzpSHZupr
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkdl21C9Uc
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MV2XLjZcr
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtFfvdhva8
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlV0QeWuzs
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZD5HgTm8D
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nw70blXvK
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXdGBojuXg
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wB5Kcr8O8
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwMbXrwgdL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z5Z3gzNlw
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfplTQFYPN
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTcqVleOh0
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtpNfvGADT
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHtDaBOLTA
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIuBnT4ppo
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2m4QdEXId
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqspOBDIWMx
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JIzqJf3CO
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6rqk3a2qo
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUTIxdK1Q5
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyM2mnt0eZ
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLVlfDvMXl
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgNkE5dv91
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVG0PoCgQO
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L5vvU8UZB
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShnanEiw3c
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnkdvktTk0
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm8R0aaEiG
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyNEzqpSsb
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75kdTixMzh
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQTSUPVM0N
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKKG8N7b3c
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr8WkpNr2I
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTobDab5Hd
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W5GIx3y0u
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy10gnzqxS
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1zg35WWh3
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40mQOTWOXx

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR1mlbHc8N

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXBKkw5nci
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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Fr9COokK
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHuLK13ecN
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUayLh5MvmR
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdkjbmyUId
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR3oKJ1Hu0
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHM1KE1BrL
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRmByz6JRj
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY1TkIR9Y8
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOshwgmPhvK
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMnkhbPbO5
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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWeUXO7xlk
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwWvs50Njy
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhXcmB2pls
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkBTNhDNz9
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBy3AxLuO7
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNieDeel77
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vCdl0cLe2
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB1518yYQ4
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQz6wSv476
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3dmyEdTYh
“Don’t know.” I say356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXK3UrL8Qc
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIKF7ANlNM
“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 says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1QWygQOVe
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlElSN9KTy
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDK1GxNdNf
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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23hlOMf8kE
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfHsmxrgXx
“What about diamonds?” I asked356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2mZmEXx5V
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd8YyLCo2m
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoGamtw1fv
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ol9De6pfP
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVx9TkR30x
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC7PCskqa6
“Dark Uru. Rarest there is. If anyone knew, I’d have half the continent after me.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmyPcKpDu2
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTlraONvfp
I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj4EN31XV0
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtEVmg6ae3
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxihzUDOjI
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWzuvkgvJ3
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsamPzPVKWl
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.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7MA8laTVM
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf2NWeJGYG
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3udjV2eHL
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawXgbNJvMI
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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP8ZsCQwpL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uaPsAyWWZ
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxtIyF7Upi
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. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDF8nX8veS
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRruPcMU7c
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIBoPxatC8
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrMJ0WFDih
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHVEQ2O1hM
I let the information settle in. Resting for half of the day, trying to process the ridiculousness of this world.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyXyQ7Z6b2
It is almost everything that Earth isn’t, full of resources, Abundant with flora and fauna.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqtiMSHViP
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUQIola39E
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDkK0yMWx9

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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4vBcA7QOZ
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Il5clj3l
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51K9xXRD5F
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJM7e3FNEP
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBf4s9cTEP
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYr15g3eRm
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1IRfgG75Z
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr68Swm1ajk

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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZNITzNRCu
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp9dJYoY3q
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9wi5Toq3u
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVIlleqVh2
“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SgY8POdHm
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQOt7tPwng
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYsC39R9fL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHselXPHryT
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB6yISdqwm
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjSm196m1o
“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 ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4PVaZ3d1x
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf66D8rPEh
“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 says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBeTi3rpL6
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IDkv7nZvx
“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjYuJu2U5b
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaBKHdX6Qv
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWrl628tqu
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZBf0hMUHe
“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 say356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW4hckiqcd
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn7tMaUAm4
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohFe6TOqla
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq7aPS6f3M
“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 say356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wx3Se1WcR
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cnGwYHcXt
“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmuFTrwCOL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW1Trso6c6
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSXcorDcLL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvW0TNe5Hj
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnCJXmJGaM
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF2OUGKmoX
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugZmKszJZF
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOLvZhsfhq
“Why?” I ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWRStalnI3
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInJZlmgM68
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfdPGUODFZ
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww9lMvA1xV
“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB9kERM2Cs
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljtIb2aZ1D
“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 says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCFZAlnWlO
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OTd65lfhV
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fpOEPVo6c
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr1a6MYEnc
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 thinks356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOL1TKVkte
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPePJTuu7n
“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 slightest356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1awOM5oG7I
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWNuzU0zOj
“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 says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXG3zSn4k3
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhJ6ASTBQb
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZJorvQN31
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfuRNNYPjD
“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 say356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYyJbXIY9p
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1v84x64qw
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzp9qLDWyM
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKoNF2firW
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPGrnGOTA7
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q0lTT5I5L
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEtoaS1VwB
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBzRsSAApo
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2SFgeeGIp
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7q54H4RNO
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo0rFYgHfS
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaCYb6588L
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhess0cvuL
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFIVcGgtkW
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbsrXKJCUW
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwXr0T59zx
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEpGMEMHzG
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmnYpgvsQU
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGDUqn4IOo
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdps2VKoNPB
“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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9MTiHvPhK
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLjY2uhfe4
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEStQHcMDB1
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh0S4Gy9en
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5gqeIAmpj
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHa4fTy6cW
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIttH43bqa
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu1ZzM8xt5
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca3C3oM1De
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXbT1eYk12
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPuv4VFiT4
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHcz1MHQNI
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwOwWS59XR
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUpL0M89l8
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhSEAZrEGo
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBH0Ifn1fb
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWR3bi0XP7
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIU6C3ADYV
“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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3RuAGlTap
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95zCaBlgiI
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhXM79wE0z
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig3TLMJbCq
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb1d2xG4st
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUD4Or6DLi
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTrvxT6Mgm
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClLEU8BDtB
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR0OIMGkHz
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF292vmt0J
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDMuDFYFaR
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrHLj2lRio
Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AoLqOrLOc
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPCqBTrBiy
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR4c8kBdpw
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPppb16StK
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDavbQcEDNL
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77hwo8YKML
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlIqMnT4cv
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Qgmremi2
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JebD98s6d
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8YjAw4uLB
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKhxc4xr1V
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUfzhozbod
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iwGGxOIhb
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoUCNAKQXe
“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 says356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtw6OoQ7d5
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXfDXwEH6x
“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.”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4YQJprhqT
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOYULFZij
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NeTJWAuKS
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeH34wdXVi
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUz5PdULtK
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSEt2m5quH
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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BwGlGkFmv
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KKXPoLLvO
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTW38tTD2C
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL2zr4mpaG
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—”356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK9lQY29Av
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50BagkU76e
“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.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwOSMEt6LB
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cdq990DBP
“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 flex356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk6BViVwve
