Wednesday night, five minutes to eight. Me and Zen are currently taking the route in an alley behind Bravehearts Bar. We are currently finding the Kerl ingredient shop, and what we asked this afternoon said that we can easily find it when we pass behind Bravehearts.It was late when we got back to the time we agreed on with Rita and Vice Captain Illiad, we were late, that's why we got angry with Rita. We almost became abodos because of his anger. Even just recalling about it makes me shiver, Rita is so scary sometimes.We continued walking until we saw a fairly large shop, in front of it was a placard with a word 'Kerl' written in cursive. Not bad actually, it doesn't look creepy. You wouldn't think that this is where the black market gathering takes place.Zen took out two iron masks that could only cover half a face, a mask that Vice Captain Illiad brought for us. We immediately put it on and finished the first step of our disguise.Zen looked at me and asked, "are you nervous?"I i

I was rooted on the spot. I stared at the man who's bald and was holding his greatsword with one hand, letting it rest on his shoulder.Why is he asking us!? I was confused and dizzy from all the running."You won't answer?"Then, if he's asking ask us if we part of the Gardener's...My eyes widen in shock I finally realized something.That only means he's a heretic! I wasn't sure because it looks like a warrior because of what it's wearing, more like an adventurer warrior because of his leather armor.'Also watch out!'I suddenly heard Droon shouting inside my head, and in a blur motion Zen who was beside me was now in front."Run!" Zen shouted as he blocked the incoming attack from the big guy. As if time slowed down, everything went into slow motion. The dead night was still silent, and no sounds could be heard when the greatsword clashed with the steel sword.Clang!“Ugh!” Zen groaned as he tried to block it.I was taken back by the impact and was slightly pushed back.“Damn!” I c

Chapter Sixty-Five.Not far away from the place where Marina and Zen were fighting. A dark-skinned humanoid creature with devilish horns protruding from the top of its forehead was sitting on the top of a tree. With one of its legs resting on the branches of the tree and an arm supporting one of its cheeks, the creature had its eyes closed. It had a muscular human body with two bat-like wings attached to its back. From behind its tailbone, a long black tail wiggled around the air.Sensing something, the humanoid creature slowly opened its eyes revealing two deep red eyes that exuded boundless bloodlust.Staring at me who was frozen solid in place Looking at the fight between devil worshipers and the Gardeners, the humanoid-like creature smiled eerily as it looked down on the mess."Ku Ku Ku, what have we got here?" as his attention was attracted to three persons. A young boy with a blessed sword in hand, a heretic with a dark holy sword, and a young girl with a lingering aura of death

Chapter Sixty-Seven.I jump backwards multiple times before landing in a safe distance. I held my weapon on the other hand, and observed my arms and body.Sticky liquid that smells like rust and iron invaded my nostrils. Deep cuts could be seen but I didn't feel any pain.I was about to wipe the blood when in a flash, a silver sword was coming towards my face. A white glow emanated from its blade.-Woom!As if a bolt of lightning had descended, a bright light illuminated the room and a horizontal white streak of light appeared on my right side. I immediately rolled over before it hit me.Without letting me breath another sword passed through my left side, I tilted my head and twirl my scythe above me to deflect another annoying sword above me."You're pretty heartless do you know that?" He said as he slowly walked towards my direction playing with his greatsword."You just left your partner dying in my hands," he stated with a grin.I look at him blankly, "is that so?"I ready my hand

Chapter Sixty-Nine.Third Person's POVOk.Ok.Ok.Footsteps could be heard on the late night as shadows and moonlight dance across the mirror space.Thud.A soft thud could be heard as five silhouettes landed on the ground."What the hell happened here?"Under the dim moonlight, the man on front who was wearing a black windbreaker that was shorter than a coat, but longer than a jacket turned around to look at his colleagues.That silhouette was partially camouflaged in the darkness, bathing in the silver moonlight. That silhouette turned around slowly. His eyes are deep, gray, and cold."A battle." he simply answered.The man who has bright blue eyes could help but twitch his eyebrows at how dry the response was. If it wasn't for his friend he would have already smacked the heck out of the man's brain.The blue eyed man just shook his head and walked towards the laying cold corpse. He squats down like a frog before observing the corpse. Two more people wearing the same black windbrea
