Kibutshi was as much as surprised to feel Kael's presence behind him. "My technique caused every part of your body to be useless.. How were you able to move your body?" Kibutshi asked turning at once, lodging his sword into Kael's stomach..
But unfortunately, Kael was able to see through that attack as he suddenly vanished and appeared behind Kibutshi.
"Don't you get it?" Kael asked him sarcastically as Kibutshi turned to face him..
"That's the Ethereal step.. My skill.. How come you're able to use it?" Kibutshi suddenly came to realization.
"I just acquired a new skill. It's called King of Theft." Kael chuckled loudly as he concealed all his magic essence back into his body. He could hear the footsteps of the guard advancing.
"You stole my technique?" Kitbushi asked surprisingly. He was having this feeling of emptiness but never knew it's because of that.
"Not only Ethereal step but this." Kael said and in no moment, his sword appeared on his hand. Before Kibutshi could think, Kael launched into the air when six afterlife images appeared on the air.
"It's just a taste of your own medicine." Kael said when he slashed Kibutshi in every parts of his body within a second and landed behind him.
"How does it feel to die by your own attack?" He asked Kibutshi, their back turned against each other when Kibutshi slowly turned with blood gushing out of his mouth and every part of his body. He couldn't say a word before dropping to the floor causing a loud thud.
"King of Theft. Such a nice skill." He said when he recall that Red King Dire would still be holding the guards hostages prior to his arrival. He has to find a way to tell him that he should stop.
[Notice. Since the Red King Dire is directly linked to you. You could speak to him through mind link]
He heard the systematic voice of Alexa when he fell on his knees. The battle had drained most of his energy, his stomach grumbled - a testament that he hasn't eaten for the night.
"Red King Dire Stop." He managed to say before drifting into the land of unconsciousness.
☠️☠️☠️ Meanwhile ☠️☠️☠️
In an old tower located in the outskirt of the Armed Nation of the Dwargon. A being covered in cloak was standing by the window staring at the stars in the night. The moon still yet has not come out and it's not showing any sign of coming out soon.
This figure face couldn't be see clearly but it seems he's curious and impatient.
Footsteps were heard but he cared less about it. The tapping sounds of an individual drew closer and that's when he opened his mouth to speak.
"What's it now, Kitbuzi? Why did you summon me here?" Asked the man covering himself with a cloak.
"My twin brother.. Kitbushi is dead. I can't feel his presence anymore." A voice said from behind. It was from the man that was approaching with his tapping footsteps.
"That's impossible. The Elites guards are no match for Kitbushi prowess except Zoboda."
"Zoboda was the first Elite Guard he took care of. I was present by then before abandoning the mission to him. I think someone else from outside the mansion did that to him."
"Whosoever it's just get to our A-list.. We are going to find them and bathe with their blood." Cried out the man in cloak. "What about the mission I sent you, Kitbuzi.?"
"It was successful Master Vein." Kitbuzi replied, bowing a little.
"Stoneforge.. By the time I'm done with you.. You won't know what hit you."
🔥🔥🔥 The Next Day 🔥🔥🔥
Kael woke up feeling unusually healthy. Though he woke up late as the sun was trying hard to penetrate inside the room but the curtains weren't giving it space.
He was still lying on the bed, a blanket covering his body. His memory was blank as he stared at the golden chaliende in the room thinking about nothing in particular. He felt a presence in the room and he quickly shut his eyes.
The door opened and a young maiden walked into the chamber. The young maiden was an Elf having this slender and tall frame. She head directly to the window and opened the curtain then went into the bathroom to prepare a bath for Kael.
It was then Kael recalled that he's in the House Stoneforge. The mansion he tried to steal from yesterday's night. He was supposed to be in a cage, isn't it?
But now he's lying on a king sized bed, in a room adorned with varieties of items.
"Sir. Your bathe is ready." He heard the voice of the young maiden when his eyes flutter open and it met with the blue eyes of the maiden.
"My bathe?" He asked again and she nodded, her eyes still fixed on his. He removed the blanket and that was when he realized that his clothes were gone leaving him with only boxer and every part of his body was wrapped with white bandage.
"What's all of this?" Kael asked while climbing down the bed.
"You were wounded yesterday when Mr. Stoneforge entrusted me to you so I applied first aid and wrap it for you." She explained and Kael exhaled loudly.
"Thank you Ma'am." He said and a smile formed on her face.
"I'm just doing my job.. Young Master." She replied, bowing her head. She's no more staring at Kael who was looking at her with lust written on his face..
The maid is a bit older than him. She looks in her early twenties and was putting on a uniform designed for all the maids in the House Stoneforge.
"What's your name?" Kael suddenly found himself asking while removing the bandages.
"Miram." The maid replied back not raising her gaze from the floor while Kael nodded and walked to the bathroom. He noticed he wasn't the only one walking, so he stopped. "I'm going to take a bathe."
"I was instructed to treat you a bathe." Miram replied and Kael's eyes widened.
"What do you mean by treat me a bathe?"
"I was instructed to bathe you." Kael's eyes widened almost immediately. Imagine this hot, well endowed elf rubbing your body all over..
"Don't worry.. I can bathe myself." He said and ran off into the bathroom before she could say any more words.
She went to his bed and rearranged it then to the wardrobe and was selecting an outfit for him.
While she was doing this, he came out of the bathroom still in the same boxer he went in with. His body dripping with water.
She turned at once and a gasp almost leave her mouth as her eyes fell on his chest. She was shocked and dumb founded. Not only his chest was clean but she couldn't found any traces of wound on it. Not even the marks.
Her eyes wandered every part of his body and she couldn't find any bandage and then to his face. His red hairs was dripping water down his chest. She bet if Kael could actually used the shower.
"I'm done bathing." Kael announced spreading his palm.
"You shouldn't have wear that old underwear. There's a towel in there, let me get it for you." She said and quickly rushed inside the bathroom and came out with a white towel.
She head to Kael's direction to give him the towel when her leg slipped. There was water in the ground and it caused her to slip, almost landing on the floor but was caught by Kael. Her hands were on his midsection as his both hands were on her waist.
He helped her up and took the towel from her when she finally released her grip on his manhood causing him to let out a groan.
"I'm sorry." She said almost kneeling but he caught her again. "It's not your fault. It my fault water's in the ground. So please help me find a solution to it." He said and she nodded then started walking out in search for a mop.
Kael quickly dried his body and put on the clothes among the one she has selected. It was a pair of black trouser and an orange top.
" This'll do. " He said and made to go out but was blocked by the maid.
"You need something Miram." He asked and she nodded.
"I need to fix your dressing." She said and lead him to the dressing mirror. She started with his red hair, they're about the same height so she had no problem with that. She helped comb his hair backward and packed it into ponytail.
She changed the black trouser to red firery trouser and the orange top to a black leather jacket..
"You should put this on instead."
Kael didn't argue with the young lady and pulled off his top before proceeding to his trousers. She gulped hard as she tried not to stare at him.
"You were the one that bandaged me up right?" He asked while putting on the new outfit.
"Yes Master." She replied and Kael smirked. He wanted to tell her to call him Kael but he ignored the feeling. The name 'Master' sounds pleasing to his ear.
He checked himself in the mirror and he was awe. "This is perfect." He said and walked out without even sparing a glance at Miran.
"Gosh... He's so hot and full of pride." She licked her lips before sprinting out of the room.
Kael was going the wrong way when she quickly call out for his attention.
"This way leads to the dining, Master." Kael shrugged his arm and walked all the way back to her when she started leading the way to the dining room.
She stopped at the end of the hallway and gestured for Kael to proceed. A frown appeared on his face as he walked further into the dining room.
The Dining table was filled with different dishes like curry rice, Donburi and Ramen. Fruits and salad were also on the table.
Kael eyes widened at the sight of Ramen. It was different from the one he had back then on the street. This one was more protenous. His eyed scanned some other food before finally landing at the man who was the spectator of yesterday's brawl.
The owner of the House Stoneforge of the Armed Nation of Dwargon.
Mr. Stoneforge sat down consuming a hot bowl of curry rice when Kael sat right opposite him and quickly grabbed a bowl of Ramen and started consuming. He didn't even bother to greet the man nor is he bothered about the man.
Kael memory loss had affected him so badly, he hardly recall things and if he does - he hardly think about the future. He just do things and goes with the way life shape him.
If Kael was to turn evil someday, life will determine.. Afterall, he has access to the key of all knowledge and he has the unique skill - King of Theft and the Ultimate Predator Skill - Devourer.
He's going to Devour the world but right now Mr. Stoneforge is watching him while he devoured the whole dishes on the dining table.
