All two bullets found their mark, striking each target right in their forehead.
They dropped instantly, their montum carrying them forward a few steps before they crumpled to the ground in a heap of dark cloaks.
He was so accurate that he even astonished himself. He lowered the pistol, the barrel of the pistols smoking slightly while he took a mont to look at the bodies.
They lay limp on the forest floor with dark blood spurting out from the clean holes in their heads, staining the refreshing green grass of the forest with a deep crimson.
They were two n, dressed in dark, tattered cloaks with hoods that shadowed their faces. They carried daggers with strange inscriptions on the blades.
He leaned in for a closer look but couldn’t decipher the foreign text. Although right now he had bigger problems than that, therefore he didn’t pay it much heed.
The system hadn’t pinged. The quest wasn’t complete.
There’s more of them.
He turned to leave but glanced back at the bodies one last ti.
Well, this isn’t the first ti, if you count that pilot. But it sure feels different seeing it up close.
He wasn’t a psychopath. He knew he had just ended three lives. He knew they had families, dreams, and most likely people who cared about them. But he had just turned all of that to dust in re seconds.
He was perfectly aware.
And yet he didn’t hesitate.
They aren’t related to . They don’t matter to . They are of no benefit to . So why should I care?
That was all there was to it. A cold, simple logic that had kept him safe in his old world.
I’ll probably have to do this more from now on. This is a different world, after all. And who knows what sort of monstrosity have I been spawned into? He thought to himself, wondering about the things he’ll have to face from now on.
Things that would be completely unknown to him.
Yet ironically, it wasn’t that much different from his old world. Only the setting had changed. The rules were still the sa.
A sarcastic smile touched his lips when he dawned upon this realization. He left the bodies behind and moved forward.
He held the pistol firmly in his hands while keeping them steady.
The dense forest began to thin out, the thick canopy of leaves giving way to a more open sky.
The undergrowth was replaced by tall, swaying grass and a few trees that were scattered across the area in no particular pattern.
"Stay alert, we’re almost there."
A voice. It was low, but it cut through the air. It ca from up ahead.
He froze instantly, dropping into a low crouch and lting into the shadows of a tree near him.
After a mont, he moved forward again but this ti he was much slower and quieter.
His movents were calculated, carefully placed so that he doesn’t make any sound that could give away his location.
He crouched behind a thick bush near the source of the voices and eavesdropped on the voices that were coming from there.
"The ti is almost up. What the fuck are Caron and Jaxen doing?" a man’s voice said.
Allen peeked through the leaves. There were two n dressed in dark clothes up ahead, and they seed to be waiting for soone.
Their outfits were also similar to the n he’d t beforehand.
Doesn’t seem like they’re gonna et Caron and Jaxen again.
He shifted slightly, leaning out to get a better view of the area.While at the sa ti being careful enough to not expose himself.
Since the forest wasn’t much dense, he could see ahead for quite a good distance.
There was a faint waterfall that fell into a pond, from which the incoming water then drained into a small trail of a river.
In the pond, near the waterfall, he saw a girl.
She had long and silky silver-colored hair that ca down to her waist, along with a pair of crystal red eyes that looked like beautifully placed bixbites when seen in contrast to her snow-like skin.
She had a serene expression on her face and was completely naked. It seed like she was taking a bath under the waterfall.
The water poured over her figure, which looked as smooth as a marble statue. Her physique was well-proportioned, with a slender waist and ample breasts that highlighted her delicate curves.
Her pale white skin was smooth and hairless in every place. All of her seed to be perfect in combination, creating a quite contrasting scene when looked in comparison to this dark and gritty forest.
It was as if she was a fallen angle, who did not belong in this vile place.
Due to his father Allen had seen a lot of won of high society in his old world and yet he would be outright lying if he said that she was not prettier than all of them combined.
After observing carefully for a bit, Allen then looked back at the two n in the cloak and tried to analyze the situation to the best of his abilities.
An ambush? No, they look more like assassins. System, are those guys the only "hostiles"? Or is the girl included?
