Chereads / Bloodshot / Chapter 7 - Scrye

Chapter 7 - Scrye

It was evening time in the slums as the sun was still working its way down the skies.

The evening breeze blew though the slums in Gynevil city as the putriding warm smell was Carried around by the air.

The slums pro​le​tar​i​at could be seen walking around. Some seems to be in a hurry while some just wanted to fish in muddy waters - The Thieves

But they are very very common around this part of Gynevil. Assuming one from other parts of Gynevil sees the age of the thieves, he or she would be astounded.

Five to twelve years old kids could be faintly seen sneaking around stores trying to sneak in somethings for themselves only for some to get caught while some got away with it.

Some adults could be seen gambling at one corner of the streets, laughing while some were stumping their foots in a fit of rage if one walked past them, they would really think they were there just to have fun but what one wouldn't realise is that they were actually there to watch and guard the entrance to the underground secret market.

In one part of the secret underground market, Archie could be seen lying on the cold hard floor at the entrance of the shop.

Outside the shop, several men with unique guns at hand could be seen marching steadily towards the shop in a spearhead formation.

A man with a dark skin, huge stature with broad shoulders and a flat top hairstyle, arms as thick as a thigh could be seen as the spearhead of the formation be that as it may, he wasn't holding a gun though.

An arm's thick chain wrapped around him like snakes, trembling slightly in a unique vibration like snakes.

He walked steadily towards a shop in large strides.

Upon arriving at the shops entrance, he stopped, tilted his head in a forward motion and then place them back to their original position.

Instantly after he did that, four trained men broke out of the formation, in quick steps while approaching the door of the shop.

They entered the store, one by one not missing a single beat in their stride.

After some seconds, a head popped out if the shop.

"It's clear, but boss, there is a situation."

The man was clearly speaking to the person surrounded by chains who clearly seemed to be the leader of the group.

"Hmm. Lets see." the leader grunted in a deep voice while entering the shop.

The interior of the shop instantly revealed itself to him.

He saw the chaotic shop which only solicited a raised eyebrow from him but when his eyes reached the old man's body, his expression changed drastically as he furrowed his brows.

The old man could be considered a very strong awakened among those hiding in the slums.

The old man was clearly hiding from someone or something since he chose to become a merchant in the underground black market.

Now for him to die here means that either the old man's nemesis had caught up to him or it was a business deal gone bad.

Either way, he would find out in a minute or two.

The person was really strong though, as he could kill the old man.

He inspected the old man's body carefully, turning over the body facing upwards he checked the two sides of the puncture with gloves in hand, but what he saw made him frown deeper in confusion.

His conclusion was that it was a backstab. But…

How can a powerful awakened get stabbed from the back without sensing the danger at all? He thought to himself.

He fell into deep though after a while,he appeared to have thought of something and at that time, His face fell in a flash as he yelled in a thick yet unpolished tone.

"FIND ME THE SCRYE OF THIS STORE!"

The other four people in the store were momentarily stunned but we're immediately destunned by the leaders shout.

"NOW!!!"

They immediately scrambled to work.

"Found it sir!" Someone shouted out after a moment of searching.

"Bring it over, you bastard!!"

Seeing as the idiot kept standing while saying found it, the leader couldn't help but want to break him in half.

The leader quickly took the scrye from his subordinate's hand he tapped it which brought forth holographic images of several interstice to the air.

And as one of the supervisor in the underground black market, he had the authority to override certain encrypted information in the black market.

All what the others saw was only a ray of light.

But for him, the beam of light gradually turned into an holographic image.

The boss was in a hurry to confirm his conjunction, he rapidly skimp through several sub intervals, until he got to the part he was searching for.

A terribly boisterous pant left his mouth which he didn't try to stow away.

The boss was watching the part where Fergus performed the combat tactics over and over again like a lecherous old pervert seeing a naked and curvy girl, inviting him in with a smile on her face.

"I think the boss has gone mad." one of the armed men in the store said to his colleagues.

"I think you might be right, he has gone full cray cray." another one said.

"Austine, should we report to the higher ups now or we should wait and observe if his madness would increase or decrease over time?"

"I think we should wait and observe first."

"I second that."

Watching the act of activating a combat tactics although a prosaic Level Combat Tactics could grant an enlightenments in the ways of combat.

If one could gain enlightenment, she could create her own personal skill exclusive to her and her attributed folks.

Combat skills are not as powerful as combat tactics.

Only ⅛ of the tactics power could be gained perceived.

Yet, thinking about the entirety of that, it was still amazing enough to change the tide if a combat zone.

That is the thing that made the supervisor heave, in awe cause he discovered an extraordinary fortune.

Although it couldn't be used to exchange for bloody orbs, the Gyno points are quite because the amount of gyno points he could gain from selling it would be truly enormous.

Combat tactics are also mysterious, if one had the opportunity of recording it onto a scrye while been performed, although it could be copied onto other scryes, one wouldn't gain an insight on it even in a Hundred years.

No one knows why though.
