Chapter 3 - Fooling them

First results were kind off misleading. A sprayer to make poop disappear called "va-Poo-rizer" showed up on the results with some other gag and party items, others are interesting but most of the first 100 items that popped up are useless to me right now. So, I have to be specific in what I want or I'm going to be drowned by these garbage search results

Search: invisibility item on oneself

Sort by: lowest to high

Potion of invisibility 10g

Potion of invisibility 30g

Potion of invisibility 50g

Potion of invisibility 200g

......

......

Ring of Invisibility 500g

Fade 1000g

...…..

......

......

Camouflage suit 100000g

I checked all items, other that the basic description of what it does and how to use it, there is no other information on how to effectively use the item or how reliable said item is…..

'I really need that rate and review upgrade. Some items even have the same name, description or picture'

The only items I recognize are the Potion of invisibility and Fade, I'm pretty sure the first one is as simple as it gets, a potion to turn yourself invisible like in a particular BLOCK game or turn based board game while the second one is from a popular MOBA game. I could buy the potions but, what if it turns out like that block game and has particles showing. I also don't know the skill level of the enemies and if they can see through the effect.

I looked at the item Fade, its description is very similar to that popular MOBA game and if I remember correctly it cancels unit collision has a 7 sec cool down and no cap in usage or durability. The downside is that I can't move, or it will cancel the invisibility

I was stuck there thinking for a while when I heard a very familiar sound that made my heart drop….

3 men in dark outfits (yep cliché assassins) has just finished killing the last of the young boys bodyguards and servants.

Carrot top" where's the boy!?"

Potato" I thought you were keeping an eye on him?"

"hey, I was busy dealing with your sloppy work ok! that I need to focus on fighting!"

" I said I don't need the help! you could have just watched!"

And the two bickered back and forth, wasting more time… which is helpful for Richard.

Slither 'I'm surrounded by idiots!'(facepalm)

" ENOUGH!!! We got paid already so let's just cleanup and hound the boy down, with that body of his he can't possibly go that far!"

" okay senior!" they both exclaimed

They quickly mopped up and checked their blade before going to the direction of our protagonist.

The 2 newbies were at the front eager to prove their worth while arguing and belittling each other.

While the older more experienced assassins was at the back.

Slither 'I swear these newbies are a handful at times'

After 2 hours of searching they finally found the figure of a young boy. The two were still at it so they lost the element of surprise. But it doesn't matter as they know the boy is as helpless as it gets

Having their eyes locked on target the 2 launched an attack at the same time , one from above while the other moving to left, each hoping the other would distract the prey while they move in for the kill.

Slither thought that its finally over and they could rest easy as the boy have nothing to defend himself and nowhere to go. But suddenly he saw the boy pull out something. A small trinket with purplish aura and a violet orb in the middle.

Judging by the color of aura it emits it might be a cursing item, he has to protect his juniors!

" watch out!! He has something in his hands, evade if he points it or something comes out at you!"

He quickly instructed his juniors while keeping wary of the item. But to his surprise the boy jumped back and slowly fade to nothingness. He disappeared like he was not even there.

"quick heighten your senses its impossible he knows true invisibility and he doesn't have that much money to buy a relic of that quality! he must be using a trick to hide his appearance"

All three of them did so but there was nothing. Like the boy really was gone like a bubble that popped, there was no more, no scent no movement no matter how much they waited.

Slither thought back on what he saw

'I don't remember anything resembling that thing he pulled out but judging by the orbs color it could be some kind of item that Illusionists use, its aura is similar to Darkness Attribute , its appearance seems to be something brand new or recently made as it has no cracks or scratches and that effect of fading into nothing….'

"Don't worry although we've been duped, we still profited from this."

"wait how?'

"yes how is that possible?"

"listen up you two I believe that the thing we saw was just an illusion, an illusion so real we thought we had him, must be some kind of last resort thing as he only used it just now when his alone"

"how can u be so sure senior?"

"my reasons are simple, that young master is known to be smart, so he deliberately set this trap and waited for us, as we all know, us catching up to him means he is doomed so why would he wait and stand still here as we track him down?"

"well uhm…"

"so that he can trick us and lose the tail?"

"yes, that's right, this my guess. That item is some kind of illusion producing item. It was either deactivated as we attacked or on a timer. I didn't feel any magic interference when it was deactivated like some kind of remote signal. The only living thing we can sense is the 3 of us and none of us can sense any movement within our 50 radius"

"but I don't remember any thing like that"

"that's right it's something new! since it has no wear or tear it seemed to be produced recently. just this information is worth our time even if we failed the mission. So, listen up were going back to the client and say the kid managed to get away with some outside help but we don't tell them about that thing."

"yes senior!"

"but senior lying to the client might damage our reputation…"

"listen here it's not that were lying…. We know that thing wasn't produced by the brat himself, right? So that thing can be considered Outside Help" (smiley face)

"oh right! Okay senior"

A few hours after they left our protagonist wakes up…
