Two people can be seen on a hillside, checking through a couple of bodies as their hands go through the clothes and pockets of the bodies, checking if they have anything of value. If someone were to see this, they would believe those 2 figures were in fact looting and stealing from those corpses.
One figure was an odd masked man and the other was a superb, cool looking beauty. No ordinary person can resist her charm.
As the girl finished looking through the last body in her part of the section, she walks toward the masked figure who was also indeed done with his part.
"Master Alduin, I have found some coins which I believe to be the currency used here."
She lifts her arm holding the metal coins within her soft hands and moves it towards Alduin.
The mask figured called Alduin, reached out his right hand and took the coins the beauty held into his own.
Alduin looks at these coins which varies from brown, gold, and silver color.
'If those novels I read in the past have some slight truth to them, then I assume the brown one is copper; the lowest value of a currency, silver; a coin with greater value than the copper, and gold; the highest value between the three.
Alduin looks at these metal coins closely and after sometime, extended his arm which was holding the coins and his hand then disappears as it goes into some sort of space or dimension, and then pulls his hand out, with the coins nowhere to be seen. That space was in fact, his inventory.
Unknown to Alduin, his inventory is a one-of a kind ability, as in this world, such a convenient storage ability can only be used by dimensional spell casters, which that class and the person who holds it is very uncommon. They are capable of controlling space itself, a dangerous ability as they can teleport themselves anywhere and in addition, manipulate space when an attack is heading towards them. All they have to do with the threatening attack is to teleport the space surrounding it to another dimension or manipulate that space so that attack would go towards the enemy instead of themselves. Dimensional spell casters are strong technique types. One of the worse enemies to face.
They also had the luxury of putting their possessions in their personal dimension which every rich individual desires. However, it was nonetheless rare. To be born with that class is only 1 of every 100000. Of course, dimensional spell casters aren’t the only ones capable of storing items inside space. There is actually an object called "inter dimensional ring" which stores items with of course a limit. Still, it can hold up to 500lb total no matter how big is it. If used well, it might end it as a priceless treasure, but they take immense time and effort to make, so only the wealthy could afford one.
'Even though I could guess which coin has more value than the other, I have no idea how much are they worth compared to each other.'
If Alduin assumptions of the coin’s worth is right, then he still had the issue in determining how much worth they each had to for each other.
‘100 copper for 1 silver? 50 copper? How much is the gold coin then? 10 silver? 100?’
Since Alduin couldn't determine this, he decided he would put it off for a later date as it wasn't that relevant to him to begin with. If anything, he could create more of those coins if he ever need the necessity for it as everything is within the palms of his hands..
Alduin looks at the corpses which his servant has just slain. He knew before hand those bandits were planning to assault him and Slyphia. He had merged the effects of his GPS into his mask so he had a radar of a sort, letting him go of the burden of frequently staring at the map.
Those bandits seems to have reside within these roads and hills and have been attack travelers passing by, and Alduin just coincidentally pass by. They might have considered letting him go, but with his companion next to him, hardly that is possible.
'What should I do with them? Burn them? Leave them to rot? Would neglecting this cause more problems for me in the coming future?...Well, such conspiracies are unlikely to involve me. Even if this is just another fantasy world, this is still pretty much ‘real life’ and not like those novels where the MC would find himself in whatever shit he finds himself in.’
[If only if the future Alduin could see this, he would sigh to himself of how slightly wrong he was.]
Alduin took out his newly modified G-1 gun which was changed just a few moments ago. The previous enchantments on this gun were all passive skills where it could only take into effect if it actually hits the intended target. In order to adapt to more situations such as this bandit assault incident, it is better to have options and abilities.
After observing Slyphia’s fight, Alduin realizes his class wasn't very combat oriented like her’s, thus showing some flaws in his thoughts. He believed having a gun would help some future cases where he would be endangered, but this was immediately proven wrong the moment he saw Slyphia moving at breakneck speed which he wasn't capable of following her movements with his eyes.
What this meant to him is, if an archer with no skill or experience would shoot an arrow to an extremely fast moving object, compared to an archer with skill and experience, who would be more likely to hit the target?
This is the problem Alduin had to solve. It was also proven when the one wolf he encountered was almost able to dodge the bullet shot from the G-1.
There is a chance of missing.
Although this may have been a huge problem for anyone else, Alduin doesn't have much concern as he would just add another effect which would follow the intended target being shot at. He named this effect, Stalker. Along the way, he added explosion on impact, freeze on contact, paralyze, and other such abilities that may be deemed useful until further intel.
Alduin points at the pile of corpses with his G-1 and pulled the trigger, shooting out the bullet. As the bullet hits upon one of the corpses, a black flame appears on it, spreading to the other corpses, burning away the bodies and even the bones to the nothingness.
'Guess that's done'
Alduin looks at Slyphia.
Currently, she was paying close attention to the sword he had given her a day ago when she was created as his companion and servant. Slyphia held a white cloth and using it to scrub the S-1. She did it with care and affection while removing the tiny red blood spots on the sword.
"Do you like that sword that much Slyphia?"
Alduin asking with curiosity, Slyphia replied with a strong glint within her eyes as she looks at her God.
"Of course. It is given to me and created by you, Master. Such a treasure must absolutely be taken proper care of."
She said it as if it was common sense.
"....Well... if you like it that's fine."
After that, they resumed their journey, walking on foot towards a big kingdom. Within the GPS programmed within his mask, it says it was the Kingdom of .
Alduin is currently drinking a Mocha Frappucino, enjoying the drink with satisfaction. The straw went through his mask as if it wasn’t there in the first place. He added such abilities to his food and drinks so he may be invulnerable at all times even when he is doing either. Taking a glance at his servant, she was smiling with joy as her emerald eyes were shining, drinking the same drink as her God.
‘It looks like Slyphia also enjoys it’
They are as of right now, are about 3 miles away from their desired destination. From his GPS, there doesn't seem to be any more groups like the bandit one. If anything, there was actually a dot running across the landscape, but can be seen slowing down each passing second.
In addition to that, it seems to be being chased by several other red dots.
‘Perhaps a group of carnivores hunting down their prey?’
As Alduin thought of this, those red dots were coming his way.
Expecting a show, he continued forward to see the scene of a sort of hungry carnivores eating a deer or something.
Still, he again brought out G-1, and glanced at Slyphia, signaling her to prepare herself, and she too is in a stance to take out her sword out of the hilt at a moment's notice.
It is always best to be cautious of whatever situation that may come upon them.
The dots were getting nearer and nearer until Alduin could see clearly who exactly were those dots. A long white-haired girl wearing a one-piece clothing that reveals her bare shoulders and reaching down just barely the upper half of her white thighs, was running towards his location.
However there was something odd about the way she was running. She looks like a person who worked out so much that they are now struggling to move their body due to the immense exhaustion occupying their bodies. The same exact thing is for her. She looks as if she is to pass out any second now. Her eyes were dimming, showing she is about to go unconscious at any given moment. Behind, were 6 men in light leather brown clothing while some of them were holding ropes and some weapons such as a knife, sword, and bow.
It was obvious to Alduin what exactly was going on for the white-haired girl.
As the girl came closer, she notices Alduin and Slyphia in her path. Her eyes gazed upon the 2 individuals that seems to be blocking her path.
"Damn, to think…... they even went…. this....far."
At the moment she finished muttering that to herself, she passed out and fell towards the ground midway of her sprint. This is very dangerous as the head was coming down first before the rest of the body. This was caused when the girl’s two legs tripped upon each other in the middle of her fast momentum and bringing her to fall a specific way.
Seeing this, Alduin shouted, "Slyphia!"
Knowing her God’s intentions, she ran quickly towards the white-haired girl, spreading both her arms and caught the white-haired girl before her head went down first to the rough ground.
Alduin would’ve have went and helped the girl himself, however, compared to his and his servant’s speed, he decided it is safer to have her go instead as her speed is a lot faster than his own.
Slyphia catching the girl in the middle of her momentum, activated ‘Teleportation’, and ported back to her Master’s side.
Alduin could see the 6 pursuers still running after the white-haired girl who just passed out unconscious. He took a look at her. The girl had beautiful white-hair with a figure that could match that of Slyphia’s. Her height seems to be a bit shorter than Slyhpia’s though. She had slightly longer and sharper ears than a normal person and her clothing was more revealing too. If any man were to look upon this, they would say it is the girl’s fault for wearing such seducing clothes.
Whether it is unfortunate or fortunate, Alduin;however, does not feel any lust towards this girl. He may be interested in the other sex, but it was mostly due to their beauty . It was a small attraction if anything as he mostly cares for himself and his father. Being in this world, he occasionally thought about his only parent he had, but being concerned about that father was wrong. After all, he always seems to get his way in life whether he liked it or not. There was no use worrying about him as right now he is probably pick pocketing others as if he was a pro in his occupation.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
The unconscious girl was breathing roughly and moaning in pain as her body begins convulsing violently. Alduin seeing this, brought out an Elixir he made for the purpose of healing his servant if she were to ever be wounded if a fight or himself if his equipment didn’t fulfill their purpose, letting him be damaged. The 6 pursuers were still somewhat far, so there is some time to treat the girl. Uncapping the Elixir, he then poured it into the unconscious girl’s mouth and forcefully entering into the girl's body.
Usually a person must be conscious to drink something, but with the Elixir Alduin created, it had the effect to enter the consumer’s body whether or not they are aware of it.
Her body after consuming the Elixir, slowly calms down as her convulsions settled.
Alduin nodded with satisfaction, and looks at the now nearby pursuers.
“I guess I should inquire why are they chasing her. But I am sure it should be involved with slavery or something close to it. There doesn’t seem to be any other possible scenarios that could explain these circumstances. If these purser’s are humans, then it is pretty expected as they are the only race who uses and enslaves other animals for their pleasure and even themselves for it.”
Remembering all those history lessons he took. It was sort of an interesting topic for him, but Alduin occasionally doubts whether that history was written more conveniently for the countries and altering it for themselves.
The 6 men finally reaches to Alduin and the two beauty location, and stops just before them. Each one of them were staring suspiciously at Alduin as he was wearing a mask. This augments the mysterious aura emitted from him.
Alduin then initiated the conversation and imitated a certain character he read in a popular light novel.
“Good afternoon gentlemen, may I ask what were you doing chasing after such a young girl?”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Few moments ago
Just outside the forest which surrounds an elven village that inhibits the area inside, 6 men could be seen chasing after a young, beautiful, slender girl with long white hair, reaching her waist. These 6 men were in the C-squad, which by its initials, were the capturing and tracking squad. They are part of the well-known slave trade organization named Floradial. They had an industry throughout almost every human kingdom; however, their HQ is located in Kloara, a well-known Kingdom for its military assets and skilled individuals.
There were some reasons why their HQ was located there, and one of them is recruiting those skills individuals. By doing so, they could increase their influence, trade, and success in capturing other races such as elves and demi-humans. Of course, they don’t just enslave other race, but also humans, their own race. Within their organization, they also had a mercenary group where they can be hired.
Why would someone would want to join this organization? It is because of the benefits that came along with joining this group. Anyone that joins had the benefit of doing whatever they desired for some of the [goods] they captured. Whether they torture, kill, poison, or do whatever imaginable things they want to them, they had that right. This is very appealing to most men.
Right now, the C-squad were chasing after the young girl after being ordered by their superiors. It was deemed the elf was given an S-rank mark, which means that capturing her is a must. This is due to the fact she was probably the most enchanting out of the whole village they capture.
After the young girl was seen consuming a purple potion, she ran at an extraordinary speed, fleeing the village in the attempt to get avoid being enslaved and used by various people and their desires. She had a giant boost to her speed, as she break through the sealing barrier with the purpose to keep everyone inside it. Such power and boosts, usually had a side effect or backlash upon using it.
“Hahahaha, I wonder when would she stop her futile actions. She will sooner or later be captured by us. Might as well give up her hopeless attempts to flee.”
Another man gave out a laugh and said, “ Oh please Farwen, just let her do as she wish. It isn’t everyday we could do our job. After she stops and give up when she acknowledge her position in this situation, we could have some time to try her out.” His eyes glinted with amusement as he imagines himself doing the elven girl.
“Is that the only things you guys can think about?...Well, we also joined in this business for that reason, so I don’t really have any say in this matter.”
Another man laughs, “Let’s just stop our trivial talking and start chasing after that girl. It would not do if she actually manages to escape.”
This group of people are the C-squad.
The C-squad were known for their abilities in tracking down and following their targets no matter how far and fast they may be. By using various buffs and potions, they could stalk the person until their supplies are all consumed and deemed impossible to keep chasing. However, this has yet to happen and were very successful in every task given to them.
The squad notices the young girl slowing down each passage of time, but has yet to given up and kept running when she noticed them behind her. The effects of the potion is slowly starting to diminish and she can feel the backlash starting to take in effect.
She could fight her pursuers here and now, but her stamina was already extremely and dangerously low from the start, so doing so would end up being futile. However, it goes the same with running away. The 6 men doesn’t seem to be exhausted any time soon and therefore reach her before long.
The elf knew this, yet stubbornly not conceding. As she thought of this in her fatigued state, she notices a mask man and a beautiful girl along side him ahead of her. Normally, she would analyze whether or not they are also the pursuers;however, she was too tired to think and in addition, soon felt the potion losing all effect and began starting the painful backlash on her. Although the backlash was about to begin, she lost consciousness in the middle of it and tripped herself towards the hard ground. The elf was caught just before hitting the ground by a black-haired girl with emerald eyes, and then teleporting back to the masked man’s location.
The masked man was emitting a strange aura, but it doesn’t seem to be very dangerous to the six pursuers. He then gave the elf some sort of potion through her mouth and her convulsing body calms down.
He then looks towards the C-squad.
“Good afternoon gentlemen, may I ask what were you doing chasing after such a young girl?”
The C-squad looks at each other and starts signaling each other with what actions they were to take by forming signs with their fingers behind their backs.
After confirming with each other, one of them stepped up.
“ Excuse us Sir, but we would like to request of you to move aside. This is a matter between her and us. We would be most appreciated if you do.”
The mysterious man hearing this, tilt his head as if he was hearing wrong.
“Have you not heard me? I asked of you to tell me what are you to do with this girl?”
His voice had an authoritative tone to it. Showing he had no intentions of handing the elf over to them.
“ Hey hey, you can’t just do that. That girl is our possession. If you were to not hand her over to us, that is the same as stealing is it not?”
One of the C-squad members accused the masked man.
“...Hmm, yes, maybe in this world it may be considered stealing, but………...….What are you guys going to do about it?”
The C-squad hearing this, felt a bit irritated from the reply that masked man had given them. It was as if he looked down on all of them.
They began getting into position.
“ If you do not hand her over, then we would have no choice…..but to kill you.”
“Oh? Is that really going to happen? I believe it is the other way around and you being killed….This is perfect, I actually wanted to test out my new abilities applied to this weapon. You coming here is a perfect opportunity which I cannot pass.”
“Huhh? What the fuck are you talking about?”
The members in the C-squad were confused.
The masked man continued on.
“...It does not matter whether you understand what I am saying or not, but know this…..You are unfortunate.”
The C-squad gave the masked man an incredulous look, but then they determined it was futile conversing with him. They began to start on attack until the man took out a strange looking object and pointed at them.
Never seeing the such an object before, they became extremely cautious. They do not know what it is capable of.
If only if they knew, they would already be trying to flee away from this man who holds a weapon of mass destruction.
“Remote! Heat Explosion on Impact! Disintegration! ” The masked man shouted
Suddenly, the masked man pulled the trigger on the object, and something so fast it cannot be followed by the bare eye came out.
Having no idea what they were facing, all they could do is start heading after the man and start attacking him. One notches an arrow, 3 took out their edged weapons, the other 2 began casting buffs and their members.
All their actions were in vain.
The next fraction of a second, an explosion can be heard.
The force pushes the C-squad members apart as an extremely hot temperature can be felt in that explosion. The heat burned their skin, clothes, and hair while some of them seems to in much worse condition.
The C-squad rolled around the ground while others were screaming in pain so loud that anyone can tell that person wanted to die and be freed from that pain.
However, it was only one trigger from that masked man.
If someone were to know what that object is, terror will strike them into their very hearts.
[That bullet which was shot out and hit the intended target, that person was vaporized out of existence.]
Out of the 6 men, only half were still alive.
“Hmmm…..that was better than what I had thought. Tell me gentlemen, how was it?”
One of the survivors screamed and shouted in pain at the masked man who treated this as just a normal and expected event.
“ARGGGGGHH!.... ARGH, YOU BASTARD! YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH THIS! FLORADIAL WON’T LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS! YOU BETTER BE PREPARED YOU FUCKERR!”
The masked man nodded as if he didn’t hear the screaming man.
“ I guess this experiment is a success, I am grateful for your assistance in this matter. In return, I shall end your lives quickly.”
He then pointed at each one of the members, but this time, he didn’t say any other words such as Remote or Explosion.
“ARRGGGGGGGGGG!”
*Bang*
*Bang*
