Chapter 57 - Chapter 57

Salem, Ruby, and Alina arrived at the entrance to the massive mansion and greeted the guards.

The guards blocked the way expressionlessly. "Reason for visit?"

"It's official" Alina said. "F**k off."

One of the guards raised his eyebrows and whispered to the other. The guard's eyes widened slightly and they let them pass.

"That's suspicious." Salem remarked once they were out of earshot of the guards.

Ruby agreed.

"Seems that we are expected." Alina noted the archers on the walls aiming at them.

The king and somone else exited the mansion to greet them.

"What brings three Inquisitors to my doorstep?" He asked.

"Slaving." Salem answered shortly.

"What of it?" The King asked.

"You really want to do this?" Alina stepped forward, readying her bow.

The King smiled. "You forget where you are." He laughed.

"And you don't know who I am." Salem said, Summoning Reaper who promptly summoned a hundred-odd skeletons.

The King went pale. "He's got a Lich Spirit Companion!" He exclaimed. "Target him!"

Salem made his nanomachines act like he was erecting a wall of bone so he could deflect the arrows, while simultaneously sending out nanobot bugs to keep track of his surroundings, ensuring his safety.

"Good luck~" Ruby said, laughing and drawing her sword. "You might die too soon and we are here to play~"

Ruby's actions were exceedingly creepy to the King and the man next to him.

"Do you know who I am?" The man next to the king demanded.

"You're Rothschild, a slave trader." Ruby giggled. "Come on and play~"

During Ruby's creepy exchange with Rothschild, Salem had made a bow and arrows that looked like they were made of bone.

Firing the bow, he began picking off the archers on one side, while Alina did the same on the other side.

Ruby seemed to be on even footing with Rothschild in swordplay, so she began peppering in sword spells.

"Why are you holding back?" Rothschild screamed at Ruby.

"Well, it wouldn't be fun if you died too quickly, now would it?" She giggled maniacally. "Come. Lets play~"

Even Salem started to feel slightly creeped out, despite his cold-blooded passive.

At this point, there were no archers left. Salem checked his surroundings once more to be sure, before turning and incapacitating the King.

Easily restraining the man, he watched as Ruby and Rothschild continued fighting.

Ruby eventually grew bored of the fight and lopped his head off with a nonchalant flick of her sword.

Ruby turned to the King and smacked him a few times."What should we do with this motherf**ker?" She asked Salem

"I'm not sure, but there are reinforcements coming." Salem responded, noticing the bugs pinging the enemies that were incoming.
