Saksham made an excuse to his mother and left his home in a hurry. He waited till the sun descended fully and then finally made his way to the place he had decided with Rhytham a week ago. First, he sent Shadow #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 to observe the situation around the radius of 500 meters quickly and only when he didn't see any suspicious points, he strode towards the figures standing in the dark. Although he felt good about Rhytham's personality, he still didn't completely trust him. If he had found any suspicious point while inspecting, he would not have hesitated and killed Rhytham and people standing in front of him.
Right now, Saksham was wearing something different from what he wore at home. Saksham wore a black, collared tunic underneath a silver-white vest, loose dark brown pants, and knee-high leather boots. His look became complete with a black robe and a brown-red shoulder cape secured by a leather clasp. There were also some black lines running on his chest in some mysterious way. From time to time, one would see the light flash on those lines, as if beating of a heart. If you are wondering what this is, then this question can only be answered by Saksham. He asked his system for a suit that would make him look mysterious and also make it easier for him to disappear in the dark. Who would have thought that the system ate his 2 EP and gave him a suit that looked like the one Ezio Auditore wore in Assassin's Creed.
Although it is not completely the same, it did look very similar. He really didn't want to wear this and come out, but his 2 EP are already gone. But fortunately, this suit came with some unique things. After wearing it, Saksham's agility would go up by 5 points, as well as his body would become flexible. And there was also an Active Skill that came along with the suit which was [Adrenaline Overload]. When this skill is activated, Saksham's strength would soar by a large margin while his speed, defense, as well as his reaction time would also soar to an inhuman level. This state could only be maintained for 180 seconds and after that, the wearer would fall into a heavy state of exhaustion.
Along with the Active Skill, there was a Passive Skill called [You Can't See Me]. And next to the skill was an image of a famous wrestler. This skill will make Saksham invisible. But it could only work in the night time and for it to work, Saksham has to leave the sight of the person he is trying to hide from. As soon as that person takes his eyes off Saksham for even a millisecond, then even if Saksham doesn't move from his place, he won't be able to see him. Or in other words, Saksham can remain invisible in the dark for as long as he wants until he gets too close to a person. Along with this, there would be no noise while he walks nor would there be any kind of body odor emanating from him. Even his footprints would disappear in seconds after he walks away from a place, making it hard for people to trace him.
After seeing all this, Saksham finally understood why it took 2 EP to make this suit. Although he was still indignant about the design, he could only bury those in his heart and make his way towards Rhytham and his gang. As he got closer, Saksham could hear them discussing something. The closer he got the cleared he could hear their discussion.
"Brother, I don't doubt you, but are you sure that you were not fooled by someone? I mean, I don't think something like a devil exists or the powers you talk of." A young man asked with doubtful eyes.
"Shyam, I will allow you this one time to say this thing. But if you ever dare to doubt the lord, I swear on my life that I will throw you alive in the nearby river." Rhytham replied sternly.
Hearing this, the rest of the people who wanted to say something, immediately shut their mouth and waited patiently for the so-called Lord. They all were Rhytham's cousins who used to work with him in his small gang. Rhytham treated his cousins will love because he had been the one who took care of all of them when they were small. From small to the adult, Rhytham had treated them will all his care. And that is why all of them were very respectful and fearful of him. They feared him because they knew that once he gets angry over someone or something, no one would have a particularly good time. So, they just kept their mouth shut in fear that they would make Rhytham angry.
Standing beside Rhytham was a man about the same age as Rhytham. He looked at Rhytham weirdly, but he didn't say anything and kept looking around. He also had some question he wanted to ask, but knowing his friend, he just kept quiet and waited for the so-called "lord". He wanted to see who is it that made his friend so fearful.
While they were looking around for Saksham's figure, Saksham was already standing behind Rhytham. With the help of his passive skill, Saksham was able to come so near to them without them even noticing him. Seeing this, Saksham couldn't help but get excited. But now was not the time for all this. Saksham opened his mouth and a deep, hoarse voice came out, "Rhytham, are all these people you selected for our plan?"
Hearing this sound which was enough to send shivers down one's spine, everyone jumped up with fright. The younger ones sat on the ground with their back wet with sweat and as for Rhytham and his friend; it felt like their heart was just about to burst. It took them a while to calm down.
Saksham didn't say anything and just observed everyone around him. He used his powers to check everyone's information. But while he was going through all the information, his eyes suddenly became cold. He looked up at one of the person and lips twisted into a sneer.
"Interesting…" Saksham muttered.
