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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDM6kAnsl8

“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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlrDyAKL6q
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQBRDh6GHE
“What is this colossus you are talking about?” I ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gLr5RssR6
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEaMUektDx
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv2FynGFOE
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEU7ikKENw
“Start running Ronin lad!” he shouts as he bonks my heads.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGojaqRTTKQ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRHGn7jY3M
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2tqJkcEwy
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0sdyt0g2P
“I will guess, something was holding up this bridge and now that the bridge no longer has power, its collapsing?” I ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP8uvhIlHW
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7uRfXFVN4
“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 says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYLV0K6e7t
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a7k3DIRL1
“Hmm?” I ask with a grunt as I run.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMuNxhYkau
“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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdcIEg3C3D
he says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgRXkBYMhr
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH3CJgrMXv
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA0G61FtVn
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97vGHP0C6u
“I don’t think it will chase us because the bridge has lost all its power.” He replies and continues240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuHY0I2sdJ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiO59TttUL
"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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG5EvBmcKI
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmATMf6FWI6
A one way travel huh? The current of this river did seemed powerful even though that gap near the supply station.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdu07lClx1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0hUsi46yZ
We have been running for hours now and now, finally, I feel like I can sleep soon.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH1nKS15bT
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCTl4HK8WZ
“Oh! There the exit, finally! I feel very hungry.” Warzheil says as I hear a grumbling of his stomach.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdsfMq5QE1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6GeBoVHQB
“Oldman did you fart on me!?” I ask enraged240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMjJ5bikm6
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRkQOsfrVO
“Hey, I can’t help it you know, don’t you feel the nature’s call too?” he says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM4pQ0q2r9
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv6nLiy7X4
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOiWj9jaY3
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6hdcH0Asn
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 forcibly240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCAePANReh
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7CqutQdD1
“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 says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy9zNEeV4c
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i36LRHEGR
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRaVf1rxtk
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDg6SJARjB
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUh0XaCji9
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzhk6qKu31
Warzheil sighed. "That girl doesn’t know the truth. She thinks her mother was human."240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQgqwSYBQC
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoo4mtexh9
Ronin raised an eyebrow. "And?"240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6oFYLiYQy
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07AzkgZmGH
Before Warzheil could finish, his mouth snapped shut. Like some unseen force had sealed it.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG8bO3GDYo
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AC8Vbu2wh
“I am guessing too much but … its Ethis right?” I say240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujrMofaJDt
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzfL0HdumU
Warzheil nods with an angry expression, current rising on his hands.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgULasAa7W
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj4r0faAlh
“Yes, it seems like she doesn’t want you to know.” he says when suddenly the flow of wind feels different.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNXS8eDq4S
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoNoyHlsaI
We turn our heads towards the woods where a light starts to form into humanoid shape.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CqaVOeaqW
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdYUMGd1ua
“You broke your promise Warzheil!” the light speaks in a voice with a mix of distress and frustration.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8eN2K8Hx
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ecZlMeLFT
“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 sarcasm240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjdqRfnKsQ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Vu7XT5vG
“Do not be mistaken Ronin, I came here because this dwarf broke his promise.” Ethis says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S5QBvrArL
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXSNWQKySZ
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lw5QECSHf
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyBtgn47Ev
“Stop! Stop at once Dwarf” she says in a threatening voice240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2dHZc7Scq
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNpfBYcnIr
“Gloria thinks her mother was human and died when she was born.” Warzheil continues as if unbothered by Ethis’s presence.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctKNcJTBtD
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5biHLBtS8
“That is enough, Mortal!” This time she seem pissed off as she summons a spear of light and throws it on Warzheil.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUyBc07p0k
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYXIZTGsJp
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIit52ajTn
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2f6v6aqPy
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94UG4pNjN4
“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?”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUkHRqnJsu
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucwxHU4SuA
“Anomaly, do not stand in my way, unless you want to make enemy of us gods!” she says, her anger palpable.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lSoPsa9L8
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyzqr6B2je
“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 ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKeCJQFLh7
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYGPGDb5k1
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SzVgePrJi
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7EFwKyrS5
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WVk75TV6L
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD9pzmoLdG
“Don’t speak as if you know anything!”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcuJBt7Rcw
She says then pauses as If forcing a breath.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChKOC1Wywx
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgsmH8rBrc
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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbWuDRSYZ7
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Mt0AjRDR
“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."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SvrPS6iEf
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCZQAecnOt
Even gods fight in this accursed world huh?
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMAYBcIZq3
“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 ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypUVOSp8IJ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmZAdFxXyD
There is a silence, Ethis doesn’t say anything on my last comment.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZlAHh8t0R
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vzUe3j6RZ
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p422mP1Ow
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEtSdJv65v
“What? You are telling me that god is real?” Warzheil shot back in surprise.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHjgy9DYVn
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXSAlwbCzc
“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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcff83hFUB
“What do I get by letting you, who ditched my devotee of whom I am supposed to be god of?” I ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlBLwBWLOy
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuWEzwnd0h
“I-Right, I will tell you when your sister or her family is in danger.” She says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYzcX2JSlm
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMkfQKtrTn
“You know your trade. What do you say Oldman?” I ask Warzheil240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EVtYVQ2e5
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgRuUgDdux
“Suit yourselves, I am in foul mood.” He says
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLqRNa7rmh
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIabycJPzI
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxQ9Z6GifD
“This is for Gloria not you.” He says, on which Ethis steps back under her veil of light and nods as she disappears.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbVCHBjxa6
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58mCBtQz4
The air felt heavier after Ethis left.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmoe67vXAr
Warzheil didn’t speak, and Neither did I.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GYdBZNYCF
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.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCedovG51iS
“Right. Nature calls.” He says as he walks towards the woods.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8uh9Dw5y2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbimK3aOt71
I waved him off, leaning back against a rock. Finally, a moment to breathe. Or so I thought—until the trees shook.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFB5FgyZIQ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKsixjaJpU
“Hey! At least leave the pocket with the things in it.” I say240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ceWE04jKj
Warzheil throws the pocket at me, which I almost drop but manage to catch it.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwR4o3aMzS
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj71jzk6mo
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1vRC69OXV
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMU7OiwboK
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvagwwa8GLC
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjeWJZyxOO
“Is that a freaking Tyrannosaurus?” I ask as my expression distorts into the same as Warzheil.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeD55gVsHa
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLJwaHIbcb
But this one seems different then what I know, it has armour like things all around its body except some parts.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx5xnumCN0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYansucWFVn
“It has Earth element, my lighting only tickles it, sick lizard ambushed me just when I finished my stuff together!” he says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlTIegyNYO
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8CXnTw9GR
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMcqBvi5Zp
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JMCttr4dl
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSGogAkuwf
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL2HNFhCa6
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRPFWrvKVh
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmPCTxAnpX
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nd0PK5s3U
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFAjzBwlIP
The beast tries to stomp me again but Warzheil throws his hammer which staggers the beast.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCcZY8elFS
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjy3fGRRpx
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKckBzmSuch
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI60vmoY4a3
Bull’s eye, no, Dino’s eye.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuScYGnor9M
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96uPpgt1uc
“You knew eye was its weak spot?” Warzheil heil says as he approach me.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXy5GayCKi
I stare at Warzheil at first, then as he gets closer, It gets harder to hold back.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3vVGChjBC
“Hey lad, listen…” he speaks
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCwamiCXvR
I start laughing “That dinosaur totally fell for you just by watching you take a dump!”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ368r7Y37wd
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ZhaSSNlf
After processing the joke Warzheil starts laughing too.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIURRTqXr1

240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4O3CwZIh4
“*laughs* I need to note that down. *Laugh*, its been a while since I heard a good joke.” he says laughing240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7IjyT1QG
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ge16FAMb
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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYiPOYFXuj
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFMKk0akA4
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjfQJj0DRK
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v38Yrc5K9
“How did you even fit things in that small space?” I ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ATRVlwWp2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpFeCly7I8
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ593YHs8hOw
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hzuMx28gN
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCZUSvdZN9
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaeqhmozUV
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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSOJcYAJiB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wh3rZFBfX
“Trade is mainly done with these” he says taking out a rectangular metal with the same symbol like my eye.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XGQxQDQAQ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ913LY2fm
“Doesn’t that look like my eye?” I ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReyAATRijJ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreAgclrRDj
Warzheil observes the coin and then looks at me silently240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxShNu6l4H
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYiqLlJzbA
“You are right, they are exactly same. How is that possible?” he asks240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv6KNYuLKk
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmINijzss14
“Don’t know.” I say240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgbAIraC0M
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1icBLuhgr
“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 says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DZQSmV3fZ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEFeOpc8pE
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj3iLRVQsU
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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Il2s7CFLN
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrJCUXeCYl
“What about diamonds?” I asked240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhVfd4qFfy
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70aNEOmhsr
He shrugged. “Just stones. We use them for mirrors, jewelry, mage staves. They’re everywhere—no one bothers trading for them.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXLRIHamAA
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp1rM5BMuN
“Wait, So your hammers—what are those made of?”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ517ZkMyqLd

I whistled. “So you’re loaded?”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg2RfUA1is
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82sqn18p6r
He grinned. “If I sold one of my storage pockets, I’d get at least 5000 Globets.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lShBFpur5
I glanced at my spear. “What about this one? Its made of a metal we call Titanium on earth.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixaPaTLwQA
“Give me that.” He said taking the weapon as he stepped away from my anti-magic barrier.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKAzGVDlYc
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.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIXa7BddKt
I raised an eyebrow. “I wasn’t going to sell it, and wait, You can actually ‘smell’ the difference?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2YQq5US1Y
He gave me a look. “Of course. Any blacksmith worth his salt can. We use mana ofcourse.”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6egyV6KeG
I hesitated, then asked, “What about Diamonds?”
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YctoAGMhZ
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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRta2GzLvR
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdycfY9wby
Warzheil goes on to tell me about how commerce works in this world.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQd9gYX4GT
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. 240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOwxLe0Su0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHZJRzuXdP
It’s almost laughable—metals I’d only read about in old stories are just another part of daily life here.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL9mcsN64K
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZju0UkP6xV
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPCSctieLB
I let the information settle in. Resting for half of the day, trying to process the ridiculousness of this world.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpncv6h0dq0
It is almost everything that Earth isn’t, full of resources, Abundant with flora and fauna.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD7nF5TVji
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPNHIRTbLs
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJsxTqTtnq

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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgSy065m9M
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZYvTApQ5Y
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf84r1iGsMB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAioVOH8dI
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C3hggqQle
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mhL40ShvG
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVmNKUP6RC

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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkjkbA3dxh
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeuc99ss4U
“Oh, finally awake, huh?” Warzheil says as I get out of the small tent.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeW6WzyIqj

“*Yawn* so, what did I miss?”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TZUNLsRXS
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkmkjtV0RR
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1ckl2AJ26
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7JaXSlcYv
Warzheil starts to put some of those things back in his pocket.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv228J70QKv
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBZypqhNcD
“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 ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2T1HEFFAJ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2v8E5X5mM
“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 says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYQTRSSy68
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmDMvzsArx
“Thats one way to flex your wealth I guess.” I say, In a flat voice.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMmBtQ8XsC
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9vCrKJaXr
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvytPP5Cb8
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRjb0i0ODx
“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 say240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnHG1jVBgs
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll4wy46lmQ
“So, even my riches cannot bring out your greedy side huh?” he says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3EuIagukx
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93njpjz68P
“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 say240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98pI7OBbyC
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidXNf3GKQc
“Ok, enough philosophy, now look here.” Warzheil says pointing in the map.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhzQwzzRi8
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVXzKP53pE
“This right here is the Northern Kobe Forest” he says pointing to the top centre of the map with a sketch of a forest.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenO6Qwj2Nr
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeLWea0OEq
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlbfpCait2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2tBLFveCK
“And this right here is my old forge, not many days ago I was almost captured by the goblins.” He said240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEcRxvCBjs
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Xn5S4s6q
“Why?” I ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R0wtAUB55
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmga4uGpXrL
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhETjmh8wek

“I am starting to understand your struggle now. So, what’s your plan?” I ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyotOCH5Fdh
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyIMCU3Lle
“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 says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GqRHTgcQ8
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbzjW3CsJh
“Speak of the devil.” I say as I see the lich approach on a smaller dragon, a wyvern to be exact.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC56YvCeXeP
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OBRXYtnDK
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 thinks240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsScVQC4L8f
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCgcU6f8TR
“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 slightest240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZc3tQJC4j
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFotWvg57B1
“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 says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGKGzEe93j
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZJDkzr0OA
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pwp5QzQYQ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IuTmnilxE
“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 say240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rTsJyq4xT
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSkdXeWKR9
“Or maybe that wasn’t his complete army.” Warzheil speculates which raises more questions in my mind.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrfsAAsiX9
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEj2RXz4bb
“You said that the goblins are under the demon lord, which means….” It clicks in both our minds at the same time.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEAT791R59
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz5OUhagvX
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLMv7ujQog
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSx1KWT6qA
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuqSOofwd6
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66xECmMdfy
“What do you mean by owl? We don’t have time for this Ronin, take this seriously.” Warzheil says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzWR7LX0qH
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MnjBa8Tel
I run back into the tent and bring out the book, tossing it on the table, opening the page that contains the text.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy4680oUKB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIuJtcl9yf
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYaXoDmK78
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXGnzQD47h
“Owl worthy of night, which means that an owl can only hunt at night.” I say240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iWuexf0Pa
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN4C27opGE
“Well, you aren’t wrong, goblins see less at night, if that’s what you are implementing.” Warzheil explains.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAoFOS6Uq5
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNC8hQKvfG
“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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4CbBNkx5o
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUzJonR9xB
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhos1YBRNfY
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjWB3e8AXt
I close my left eye and then the text starts to disappear from the page as my right eye focuses.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo8tzWDc4H
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2coF6dRFJ
“This book is not normal.” I say as I slowly let this discovery settle. “Or maybe I am not normal.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS0BqWFkgV
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Rp13Xjxm
“Lets get you examined later, but first, I have an idea.” Warzheil continues240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXUxcjyDYc
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTWbMKyfh9
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLaZG6RtAw
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55DxcYr7dv
“That’s the best plan I have heard in a while.” I say “Why stand here then? We have riches to retrieve, lets go.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1e9MGWonb
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBurKLrKgH
“Ok, I will do this, whatever you find there, you can keep it, I don’t plan to come back here anyway.” Warzheil says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYufGyy5Lh
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMLl7ObFCn
“You speak as if we will go our separate ways after that.” I ask240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo53GG84PU
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgfuk9YI40
“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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrahxiKT1rG
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFc6ncT4xI
And so We prepare to infiltrate the forge.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr2yjKzGoi
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwacYPjvuf1
We move through the forest after finishing packing our camp. As we go deeper, a fog starts blocking our vision.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG4NfOKPBR
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kF7Rtg6LR
“Don’t worry about me, I know all corners of this forest, I have been here for a while.” Warzheil said240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLW8U6F74r
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUJEHGAkXY
“Thankfully I won’t need to hold hands with you since I can see the path with my left eye.” I say240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvqfA0JmXV
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT2AbWSWp1
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyEcekAvRD

Nestled into the side of a rocky hill is Warzheil’s forge. The building is surrounded by goblins and hobgoblins.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHl3ZG33F6
“Hey, won’t they detect your mana?” I ask Warzheil240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT7j1gAwP0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTcKvmWFQ4
“Don’t underestimate me, lad. Only the Demon Lord can detect me no as I have supressed my mana.” He says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAr91EtNHh
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpACrydWeq
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkDBEpLimA
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhsnkZs3Y2
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhpK2b5K3a
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mNzdYAx87
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjd2K2J1Sy
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UZ3UpS4kd
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbvvqaPQtg
“Hey, Is the Goblin King friends with the Lich?” I ask Warzheil as we are in the bushes.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9JezkMGME
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRYk8d4McY
“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 says240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02jaN7oPm1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp06cNxi86
“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.”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8NG1RmEBO
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszcNpfJqIV
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTONKfIP1Xg
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bCeGbjwnW
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPavhEBsOf
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg6UStfCph
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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyWVqnhe3o
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNzt3LHN4M
“Idiot, we need to get those two into the sewer too, the goblins may detect their blood.” Warzheil says.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk0hm6Ph1o
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqmDEmxMb6
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—”240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaFt9UEos5
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljPdV7Yr7z
“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.240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9WL118Pgp
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKPO9Vyk2E
“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 flex240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0rc5uCbUO
