'FUCK.. SHE NOTICED!'
Captain Jade became even more scared after being noticed by Sylias, it was clear that she had a night vision, and hiding in the darkness is useless.
Back when Captain Jade was still with his squad division member, he purposefully didn't get out of the room and only acted like he panicked to make everyone believe he was dead, after all, he didn't found this place by accident, Captain Jade is one of Mortem's ally that is conspiring to cause chaos in town.
He joined Mortem on his plan after realizing that just by being a guard captain isn't going to make him rich, and he was also tired of listening to commander nagging him for lazying around and not practicing or doing patrol, the commander once told Jade that he regrets appointing him as a guard captain and that just because he is already strong and is able to use sword aura, that doesn't mean he shouldn't train again.
'Shit.. i should've accepted the offer from that Knight from Landerm— But then again, if i became a knight, that means i will never be able to go home and can only stay at the knight palace forever, thats the same as prison!'
"This is not a bad timing." Said Sylias.
Captain Jade shivered by just hearing her words, there was no way out of this, the small secret passage that camouflaged as the wall only leads to the torture chamber that he and his squad saw earlier, there is another way to exit this sewer, however, that was also near the torture chamber, right now he and Sylias are 10 minutes away from the room if walking.
"This is my first time, try not to get crushed by it."
"Huh?.."
Sylias reached out to Captain Jade with her right hand and began to clench slowly, then a magic circle with the same size as her palm appeared.
< ABYSS HAND >
At the same time, Jade started to feel something touching his neck, and soon the touch sensation became pretty apparent and there was a dark, almost purplish aura that appears beside his neck, the thick aura is holding him on the neck and was being controlled by Sylias.
'I- I CAN'T BREATH..'
Jade's whole body gets lifted up from the floor and he was slowly being choked to death, his mind tries to make him escape out of the situation by sending adrenaline, both of his hands tries to grab the dark purple aura only to phase right through it.
It was a painful sight to see, Jade couldn't do anything, he could only watch as he was being held and is moving closer to Sylias.
Only a few seconds passed, but for Jade it felt like more than a minute, he arrived at the other side of the sewer where Sylias is standing, after he was right infront of her, Sylias dropped Jade out of her grasp and let him breath.
"cough.. cough cough.."
There was a drop of sweat falling from Jade's chin and into the blood covered floor.
'D- do i really not have any chance to escape? Forget winning, no matter what trick i use, there is no way im gonna beat her.. It's over!!' He thought.
Sylias then crouched and lifted Jade's face up to see her straight in the eyes, her scary looking demihuman eyes made Jade gulped his own saliva, his heartbeat can be heard by Sylias's ears, there was really is nothing he could do.
'At the very least, the last thing i'll see is her beautiful face.'
"Tell me what are you doing in here." Said Sylias.
It was really unexpected and out of the blue, when Jade is expecting a quick but gruesome death, he was instead met with a question from Sylias, he doesn't know what to answer, if her question is a trap or not, there was no certainty that he would be alive after this, if everything leads to death, Jade would rather tell the truth and hoped that Sylias would spare him.
"I- im here because i was Mortem's subordinate.. o- or ally he likes to say it, i was tasked with k- kidnapping random people in town for Mortem to torture them, h- he is a psychopath and needs new human to be his torture subject.."
"Hmm— That isn't the only thing there is right? What is Mortem's plan?"
"H- He is planning to loot this town and destroy it! He said that he wants to see this town burn and filled with people's scream of terror.."
"Alright."
Sylias's ears twitched and her tail swung for quite a while.
"How are you going to loot this town?"
"I- uhh.. I- i don't really know the exact plan.. But i heard it had something to do about the town chief, m- maybe hes planning to destroy this town from the inside and steals all of its resources before burning everything to ashes.."
"Is that all?"
"Y- YES! THAT'S ALL! I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING MORE!!"
Jade begged for his life, trying to act like a poor human being forced to work under Mortem, he is determined to survive no matter what, and he will do it even if it destroy his ego and dignity.
"You really thought you'd escape aren't you?"
< ABYSS HAND >
CRACK!
Jade's neck was rotated 180 degrees, he lost consciousness soon after, and fell to the bloody floor where his face is buried in Mortem's blood.
'That should only paralyze him, i'll have to check the fight happening deep inside the sewer, bringing Mortem's head will probably make them give up on the plan since their leader has been killed, but this guy— What was his name again, he didn't tell me did he.'
'...For now i'll drag him along, he didn't die yet and i don't want him to escape, he will be the one that will report all of their criminal activites to the guards.'
Sylias held Jade by his shirt's collar and dragged him on the floor, where later she would see Eldi and Meritas when they were almost done fighting.
***
"Stop messing with me.." Said Meritas, his voice almost stuttered.
"There's no way thats Mortem, is this a test? Are you Mortem's ally too?"
Meritas began to smile, he couldn't accept the truth as he kept searching for the nonexistent answer.
"Ahaha.. AHAHAHAHAHA!! Yeah, to hell with that, im not falling for your petty illusion magic."
"If you're here to disrupt our plan, then i will kill you in here, right now."
In a quick instant, Meritas held his magic staff up to the ceiling and immediately casted a destructive spell, its magic circle alone covered almost the entire area where he and Sylias is standing respectively, if being measured it would atleast be more than 15 meters, Eldi also got caught up in the magic circle area.
"See you on the other side, dumbass."
< RAIN WAVE >
< BLINK >
"I'll see for myself if your face would still be intact after this."
BOOM!!
Sylias disappeared from her location the same time as Meritas released his spell, his magic circle began to summon thousands of medium sized water spike and it then started to rain, but before any of the spike drop touched the ground, Sylias appeared right infront of Meritas and she punched him in the face with insane force.
The punch caused a large explosion and Meritas's body broke into tiny pieces, his blood splattered all over the place and the small pieces of his organ flew over to Eldi's head, not only that, but the explosion also destroyed the sewer itself, Sylias's punch was so strong that it broke through the ground and made a large hole into the outside, where many houses and pedestrians are caught up in the impact, it was a total bloodbath, not just Meritas, but normal civilians of the town died because of Sylias's punch.
'Shit.. i punched him too hard, now things have gotten troublesome.'
People around the area began screaming for their life and they ran away as fast as possible.
"WHAT IS THAT!?"
"NOOOOO!! MY SON!! WHERE IS MY SON!?"
"SOMEBODY TELL THE GUARDS TO COME!!!"
The guards will arrive soon and it wouldn't be good for Sylias if she were caught as the one that did it, so on the nick of time, Sylias looked at Eldi and said..
"Keep this as a secret between us alright?"
With a demanding voice.
"H- Huh?.. W- Wait-
Sylias then jump out of the sewer and into the house roof, out from Eldi's sight.
