Chereads / The Scion / Chapter 54 - Chapter 54

Chapter 54 - Chapter 54

Ramiel woke up early, he sat up and look at the open window, and notice it was still nighttime, he remove the blanket and saw Al was still sleeping on the bed, he carefully remove the cover and folded it neatly in half and place it on top of his pet wolf, he stood up and closed the window because the wind was cold, there was a large mirror on the wall beside the table that was on the left side of the bed while his bed was touching the right wall of his solo room,

he was just wearing his torn pants and was shirtless, he grab his leather pouch bag and took out the mask that he always use to hide his identity when even he and his mother would secretly elude his teacher and go outside the barrier to hunt, then after place the pouch on the edge of the table after he stood in front of the mirror and try out his mask and said

"This will do!"

"ah! I think a grew a little again, my body is now well-toned and quite good-looking,"

"this world is literally unearthly, no actual age number, they just say baby, child, kid, teen, young man, an adult man and lastly an elderly,"

when the wolf felt that Ramiel was no longer in bed so she sat up and looked at him, he saw Al's reflection in the mirror and remove the mask and place it on the table when he accidentally shoves the leather pouch and fell on the floor, he walked and commands his pet wolf, but it seems Al won't obey his orders to stay inside the room and wait for his return, he grabs the wolf and place his forehead on the wolf and whispered,

"my dear friend! I need you to understand this mission is for my queen and mother,"

AL made a wimping sound, somewhat disagreeing with his decision, but Ramiel told him that taking her with him will be difficult, dangerous, and disadvantageous in his secret task, he put Al back down on the bed, when Al jumped off and went to Ramiels small pouch bag and sniff it until she was able to pry open its flap cover and wanted to enter the dimensional storage bag by force,

"oh! Al, you can't fit inside that small bag, even if it's magical! ah! wait, can I use the fusion spell that I made?"

"Imbuement controlled chamber,"

a shadowy mist appears in mid-air and it was about as big as a basketball, he wonders if he can place living things inside and not die, but as soon as he looks at Al he felt upset, thinking that he would experiment on his companion, suddenly Al jumps inside the moving shadowy opening

"huh! ha? wait, Al!"

then the storage opening suddenly closed, Ramiel got scared and thought many things considering Al could already be dead inside the chamber,

"Imbuement controlled chamber,"

Al suddenly jump out of his Fusion spell chamber and leapt toward him, he was so happy that she didn't die, but he scolded Al and said it was a stupid thing to do, even pointing out a young female wolf like you should be careful in doing rash action, then realize he was talking to a wolf,

"ah! you really can't understand any word that comes out of my mouth, anyway even if you did something reckless you are such a good girl!"

"ok, I will test it again!"

"I want you to stay inside until I open or call you out!"

Al barked once and wag its tail with excitement, and positioned herself again to jump into the fusion storage chamber,

"ok, here we go!"

"Imbuement controlled chamber,"

the wolf once again jump inside the storage hole as it close the moment she was inside, Ramiel wore his torn shirt and jacket and opened the window and

"Anti-gravity Spacial Motion."

he leaps from building to building and secretly scans the area without nobody noticing him,

"Exploitation of Knowledge,"

" Transcending Energy Precision,"

"look at that! it's the middle of the night and many people could still be seen awake and covertly gathering in the western part of this city, I wish I could see their faces and not just the energy signatures of their bodies, either way, this is still a great spell,"

Ramiel was able to get to a particular 3-storey building quickly and was able to evade the patrolling guards of the Viscountess, he was able to view those energy silhouettes, and was now stationed himself in the shadow,

"This is so cool! I am like the darknight comic book hero, that I once had the opportunity to read!"

There were many different types of individuals wearing mask was entering a metal door to what looked like an old warehouse and were being protected and escorted by two good-looking males and female Guards, both with long snake tails wrapped around their waists, he thinks it might be a secret meeting either in favour or against his mother, he can never know until he gets inside, he saw many who entered the door were wearing expensive pieces of jewellery and their faces were hidden like me,

"ah! those people are paying the two guards silver coins, wait! the line is still long, I still need to gather more information, I don't plan to get caught on my first investigation assignment by being reckless,"

"it might look too simple, but there should be a pattern that I keep missing,"

" patience is indeed a virtue."

"this won't be that easy, considering that they are doing this meeting under the Viscountess's nose secretly,"

after intently watching every possible scenario and movement, he deducted that each secret guest pays the male guard 3 silver coins and 1 silver coin to the female guard, the difference was the 3 silver coins were all facing tail up, while the single silver coin that was placed on the female guard open palm was facing head up,

after numerous times he saw this was their secret code to getting in with no question,

"so there was a pattern,"

"All the coins that I saw were normal, no spoken word was asked nor said by the guest,"

"oh! well I can't wait anymore, there are still many variables to consider here but the line is almost done,"

Ramiel leap to the opposite area and ran around the building and casually walk in line with confidence like he was already there in the first place, he proceeded with the task at hand and just do what the others were doing, as everything went smoothly Ramiel followed the person in front of him, and walked on a staircase going down, the basement was different because it was a huge lavish lobby room fit for the wealthy person, unlike the upper warehouse entrance was gloomy and it looked like it was refurbished to have a narrow pathway that could only fit 2 persons at a time,

mask wearing waiters were offering every imaginable drink to cater to all known types of races inside the waiting area, as Ramiel mingle socially he notice that everybody was excited about the game, as they exchange details on who was the best choice to bet on the game, names where exchange as they discuss that personal battle skill and achievement,

at the end of the lobby, there was a grandiose red swing door as it slowly opened, the same two male and female guards with snake tails came out and introduce the game master, he was the only person who was not hiding his face and even dares to mention his name in public,

" greetings my follow watchers! I am Omael Drorkane your host this evening!"

"Tonight I present you, the second show of our new lineup of entertainment!"

"These players are not just new and fresh,"

"but they are all hungry for freedom! come and follow me to a glorious night of debauchery and death,"

Ramiel was holding a chalice filled with wine when he heard screams of pain beyond the red swing door, it was familiar and made the hair on his neck stand up as he walked toward and joined the others and finally understood what was going on,

"it is like a roman gladiator battle area, and those dead bodies were humans."

Omael Drorkane sat at the highest seat and ordered the guest to sit down and grab a drink and place a bet on those numbered players that he will show, the arena was huge enough to accommodate 800 people including the guard and staff of this immoral game, the arena has the same size of two basketball courts, and the circular floor was made of dirt and mixtures of rotting flesh and blood, the host saw everybody was excited and can't even wait and just scream,

"let the numbers players come out so we can finally bet!"

"let them come out so we can finally bet!"

Ramiel sat at the arena chair while his back was facing the entrance door, trying his best to control his anger, when the host wave his hand and the 20 numbered players walked bound in chains and were badly beaten up and some were too weak to even stand,

"I Omael Drorkane! promise to give all of you something new, presenting our new players, everybody has a few minutes to place your bet,"

Ramiel almost lost his composure when he saw the so-called new players,

"my god! they are all just kids!"

suddenly dozen of Satyr creatures wearing matching uniforms were running all over the area gathering bets, you can hear whistling sounds to capture their attention, and then they will run near you to list down the bet number and the amount, but not everybody in the arena would bet, some just came to watch the carnage that will happen as if it was just pure entertainment for them.

"now with no further delay! let us begin the game!

the chains that were holding them unlocked and fell on the floor when few object flew hitting six kids in the head and killing them instantly, goblins rushed toward them holding blunt weapons mostly hammers to ensure they won't die that fast

"They are just kids, not older than me, how dare they play with their life!"

"dammit! I need to make a decision fast!"

"I don't know who these people are, but I know the host's name and face!"

"Exploitation of Knowledge,"

"dammit! make a decision fast!"

"wait! they don't know me too!"

" Transcending Energy Precision,"

"I must cover the entire area, don't let anybody escape."

"Mystic Projection barrier,"

"I must protect the rest of the kids!"

"Anti-gravity Spacial Motion."

"I will kill every single one of these disgusting beings."

"Chain Mutilation Impact,"
