"Two years ago, Silas' sister wanted to help in completing my Unique mission to regrow my arm. However, she disappeared one day while training for the Colosseum. Neither I nor Silas had expected Lara to suddenly disappear so we searched for her everywhere but she was just…gone. Their parents were devastated but they took it as a sign from their Gods that they had removed Lara, the misfit of their family, from their lives," rlin said, taking a sip of tea from a small porcelain cup. The cup was adorned with intricate patterns that attracted Zayn's attention. The patterns were bewitching to look at.
However, that didn't prevent Zayn from feeling extrely weirded out at this mont. He had no idea why rlin Kivan had opened up about his past or why they ended up inside rlin's living room, chatting while drinking tea.
'Wasn't he suspicious of an hour ago, and trying to find excuses to get rid of ?!' Zayn felt annoyed though his facial expression made it seem as if he was one with the essence of calmness. He took a sip of the bitter tea as well and continued to look at rlin before clearing his throat to fill in the awkward silence.
"I understand literally nothing you're talking about. Why are you telling this story? I thought you were still unsure whether you want to kill or not."
After rlin got to know that Zayn was actually affiliated with Silas Levian, the young receptionist of Zerek's Adventurer Hall, his attitude changed completely.
There may be a few monts in which rlin eyed him with suspicion, but the one-ard man began to hide his attempts of scrutinizing the youngster while revealing things that were of literally no interest to Zayn.
"Didn't Silas send you to help with my problem?" rlin asked all of a sudden, rather than answering Zayn's question.
"Help you? I am 13, you know?" Zayn retorted while raising an eyebrow in disbelief, "I am searching for an instructor, not a way to kill myself…"
No matter what it may be, the mont a B-rank Adventurer with two Soulrings and enough soul particles to complete a stabilized soulfra for the third Soulring asked for help, people like Zayn should run for their lives.
He was still a G-rank Adventurer, his body was far from mature and his combat experience was mainly amassed from fighting a bunch of monsters while exploiting the existence of his Spirits.
He was not actually strong! Nonetheless, Zayn couldn't help but feel that this was an opportunity. rlin Kivan didn't need money, but he was in dire need of his right arm. Helping him would certainly be helpful for him in the long run.
"But tell more, I might be of help, who knows?" He pointed out while analyzing rlin's reaction. Zayn was pretty sure that if Silas' little sister could be of help, it had to be because she was a Normie. rlin Kivan's reaction to his revelation of being a Normie hadn't been bad either. It had been the complete opposite reaction than he received from other Blessed.
rling looked at Zayn for a few seconds, until he seed to have co to a conclusion. The determination in Zayn's eyes and both his honesty and genuine words made it clear that the young boy wouldn't lie to him. As for the reason why rlin believed that Zayn wouldn't start telling lies, or betray him, it was his gut feeling.
Driven purely by his instincts, rlin chose to trust Zayn, to a small extent only, of course, after everything he had heard. The pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together and it was ti for rlin to make use of them.
"The System Mission I was given to regrow my arm is to take revenge on the Family who is at fault for the loss of my arm. The Soul Monster that ended up biting off my right arm has to be killed as well," rlin revealed. Zayn's ears pricked at that and he began to listen more intently to rlin's next words.
"The family who did this to is a big rchant family with big firms in most cities in the central region. Most of them are not that strong but they have enough money to purchase everything they want, making them nearly invincible. The rchant family was displeased with my attitude toward them, which is why they chose to act against .
Doing sothing like that is usually foolish because I am the strongest Adventurer in Zerek, but the rchants were too invested in the existence of the highly demanded beauty products which are manufactured over here. As a result, they chose to assassinate when I was on a high-ranked mission.
I don't want to go anymore into detail, but they got hold of a tar who could temporarily control a Unique Monster with two Soulrings. It was known as cruel, rciless, and strong enough to fight off A-Rank Adventurers, but I nearly killed it even though I was already injured!"
rlin's explanation of the given situation was detailed enough to understand what had turned him into an amputee. He didn't reveal the na of the rchant family that caused the loss of his arm and he had yet to speak more about the Unique Monster that seed to be a lot stronger than an ordinary monster with two Soulrings.
"I think I roughly understand what you have to do…but how is that related to Lara Levian, and the Colosseum?" Zayn asked the questions that would inevitably end up becoming his issue if he were to take Lara's position to help rlin.
There were many things to take into consideration, and rlin's behavior was not really helpful in that regard. rlin seed to regain so of his suspicions and his eyes grew more vigilant as they moved around the room.
"The Chira in the Colosseum is the monster that bit off my arm. It's permanently injured and won't be able to regain it's full strength, but it is currently still wreaking havoc, and killing a bunch of Normies, no matter how strong they're. You should know that the Chira seems to loathe Normies, which is why it tortures them the most. Though, I do not know the reason for that," He explained after taking another sip, while his eyes lingered on Zayn.
"Well, that makes things a lot more difficult…"
