Chapter 33 - Cunning Blades of Retribution

after having Valthorian clean the tent that was set up by him, I went into my carriage and ask the president and Darius if they want to get on the carriage, so they both come to ride on the carriage to join me on the journey.

"It is nice to meet you again Raiya, thank you for inviting us for a ride."

"it is fine, I want to ask how is your companion, is the injury already healed."

"I am fine now, it is just a normal burn injury."

"then it is good that there is no injury left, after all it is not good to let the public knows I injured you before the alliance signing, ah! I almost forgot it is a bit rude of me but President I have never ask your name." stopping Darius from responding I immediately ask the President for his name

"my name is Alistair and my last name is Gravewood."

"then it is nice to meet you too sir Alistair, you can just call me Raiya."

while on the way towards the town I try too ask about the situation on the city so I can have an alibi on why I know certain Information without exposing that I already have the Wraithlings to scouts the situation, after all I can't let them know I was watching them even if I become closer to them.

I then continue to joke by saying.

"I just hope this visit won't bring unexpected situation, after all it will be a farce to break any of the agreement on the first day."

hearing my words the atmosphere started become awkward, I tried to diffuse it by saying I was joking and truly hope nothing happen, but I know there is a guarantee that I will be ambushed in the city.

without long the carriage stopped, feeling we stop moving all of us got out from the carriage to see what happen.

what greeted me was a considerable amount people that are surrounding my carriage to stop my carriage, seeing this there is a dire expression on both the face of Alistair and Darius knowing what their plan are.

"bastard all of you, are you really going to do this, have you thought of the consequence of all this."

the one to respond to Darius is the man called Austin who Valthorian have handled before

"Darius you act unruly and wild but you don't dare to say no to that old coot over there, and you damn skeleton I will kill you after I torture your master." while having his finger pointed at Valthorian.

"Sir let me deal with that clown myself."

"ok, but don't waste your time with him."

having my permission he Immediately rush towards Austin while dragging him at the same time, seeing this a group of people followed Valthorian and chased him down, it seems all is according to plan.

seeing this a man with glasses while also wearing a magician robe and his hand is adorn with ring with gemstone on it walk out of the crowd.

"Darius you should take the President out of here we would not hurt you, but if you interfere we will have to remove you."

"Hahahaha Edric do you think I am stupid enough to think that you will let us go, and you surrounding us means we will be killed along with him, I hope you guys at least prepare to die, just hope you are not the one having the bad luck."

hearing his word the President aura seems to change and his body is in a fighting stance, he seems to be quite powerful enough to handle himself.

"You two if you want to run it is fine, their focus is on me, they either would try outright killing me or holding me back so I can't support the dungeon."

"well we already have an agreement with your dungeon so we can't really run away."

"it seems you misunderstand something here, I want you to go away because I want to kill everyone who plan to attack me, having you here means you will try and stop me from massacring them all."

hearing my word Darius and Alistair seems to nod with each other and seperated from me, before they leave Alistair said he told me to hold on because he will bring reinforcement with him.

when they are leaving only a small fraction of people follow them, the rest started to encircle me in an even tighter cage.

"so are you all just going to cage me or are you going to kill me, some of you are the people who sign the agreement, it seems I made quite a profit, your team will have to pay a heavy penalty."

"you're quite arrogant huh." said Edric

without waiting anymore I clad my sword in Necrotic attribute and attacking those near me, surprised by my action the attacked person late to react and was directly cut in half by my attack.

they were stunned, seeing this I continue to attack but this time using a tier 1 area earth magic Impale this grow a sharp spear from the earth and Impaling those who is standing in the area of affect.

many of the target were hit but are not fatal, some were hit on their legs and making them lose most of their mobility.

seeing this Edric command his subordinate to activate their trap, seeing this trap was activated I felt the Necrotic and Undead attribute become harder to control, but it seems they only hinder those 2 attribute all others doesn't seems to change.

while they are activating this trap, I control my mana and gather them and turn it into a pure mana arrow but at the same time hide a few string that already hidden among those arrow, I release the arrow while also preparing the next one as well after firing.

I focus my arrow on those wearing light armor, robe, and those who have been injured because of the previous AoE magic.

group of people started to rush towards me, having being train by Farian on how to deal with many people at once, making a list of threat towards me, dealing those who are closer to me first and focusing on eliminate those attacking me from further distance, using Blink strike from Void Stride Technique to jump to an empty space so I won't get overwhelm by their number.
