Everything could co crashing down if what we thought wasn’t what was happening. I closed my eyes and reminded myself why I was doing this. Litha.
I breathed in slowly and then out sharply. "If we crawl through this tunnel pipe, we should find ourselves sowhere in the Black Axe compound."
I pointed upward where a large pipe was dripping with things better left unsaid and unthought. "I’ll go first."
The pipe was big enough to allow us to crawl through, but it was hard with little space to turn and move. We used our bellies to crawl upward like worms, but that wasn’t the worst part.
The sll and heat! The feel of my body cleaning up the sludge. I shuddered and almost threw up more than three tis. The heat was also getting to as we used up the little oxygen left.
I thought I was going to pass out when finally my head touched sothing hard. I froze, then turned Hermit on, heightening my senses.
A big mistake. My head reeled, and the sll of shit and rotten at slamd into . I gasped and released Hermit’s power. I slamd my head into the tal grate that covered the pipe and crawled out.
I ripped off my mask and took in a fresh breath. "Shit." Even though I almost drowned because of the sll, I sensed that there was nobody outside.
But I was right; we were in the Black Axe’s territory, all right—the main base of the gang. We were in so kind of waste room where the shit of animals was dumped and then flushed down the pipe.
I shuddered, but I pushed all that away with a firm will and the ntal promise of having a long bath later. Normal outside watch counts work in the Tower, but the one that was strapped on my hand was made right here and powered by mana. "We are right just in ti. The show is about to begin."
We went out of the cramped room and saw our first real look at the place. The main building was bigger than I expected, made of bricks and thick wood.
We predicted that Arkin would be in the guest room, and with the house plan already known, I knew just where to look. "Ti to hunt."
I looked at my companion, then brought out a small sack that juggled as I handed it over. "That’s the remaining balance," I told the mute hired man. "You can go now. Good luck."
I heard light footsteps retreating behind , then I turned to the highest window facing . "Co here, Onus."
Darkness ripped, and I smiled.
Lila was about to have the best ti of her life. She had been sent back from patrol five days ago with her squad because they got a little tip that the Silent Daggers might cause trouble.
But she didn’t think so; with four Silver ranks currently in the base and countless Iron, it would be foolish for the Silent Dagger that relies on assassination to cause trouble.
But that wasn’t what was running through her head. Finally, after days in the cold during patrol, she was back in a warm bed and her favorite thing of all—except for food and wine—n!
She was naked from the waist down and straddling a muscled beast-man with a tiger’s body. "Ugh.. wo..w... I don’t know why you are like this! Why were you acting so shy earlier."
The beastman grunted and growled. He flexed his claw and tried to yank her head closer, but that was exactly what Lila was waiting for. She loved to look for dominant n and then break them, turning them into her sex slaves.
She was about to begin when she sensed sothing. She was up in a flash. Her fit body curled into a roll as she flung herself away from the bed.
Crash! The glass shattered, and sothing dark hurled through. The beastman hissed and jumped up in surprise while I could do nothing but stare at the naked beast-man and the half-naked woman.
A surprised silence fell as the three of us looked at each other. I broke it when I saw the waist of the beastman. "I think I understand why you go for the beastman. And this is also the first ti I’m seeing one naked too."
Lila’s mouth curled. "You stink."
And I did. I slled like shit and piss. "I know."
Her eyes glowed dangerously. Who dared, this piece of shit, put a stop to her pleasure! Why couldn’t I co by later or sothing? And an Iron rank too? "You little pervert, I’m going to show you...."
"Wait," I raised my hand. I checked my watch again and breathed a little better. "Alright, you can go on with your threats. What do you say you’re going to do to now?"
Lila’s mouth pressed together in a thin line. She raised her hand and power cracked, pulling together in bright yellow, but as she was about to send the ball of rolling power forward, it vanished. "Wha..what?"
I smiled inside my mask. Honestly, I didn’t think it would work. To work sothing out in theory is different than seeing it with your own two eyes. "It’s really working."
Lila flinched as she tried her power again, but it didn’t react. It seed like it was draining out of her. "What did you do?" she demanded. What type of skill was I using?
I began to move forward. "I didn’t do anything. Not right now anyway. But your drinking water has been poisoned by mana-eating poison. And none of the cheap ones. I know a rich person." I flashed a smile.
Lila hissed. "Even if I can’t use my power, I’m still one of the captains of this place, and a re Iron rank won’t stand.. .!!"
I raised my hand and slamd my force power against her. It ramd into her chest and drove her into the wall with a loud bang! "Shut up. Right now your strength and power are draining. You are not powerful. Now I have so questions..."
The beastman moved, but all I did was look back at him, and he froze. Such terrifying pressure from ! Better not to get involved. I was only here for the good ti anyway.
Lila smirked. "This poison is temporary, and when my people learn about what..."
