Only corrupting thoughts and feelings of superiority towards others were all he received after getting transported to Haven City. Jorp became worse and worse as he spent more time in the city where everyone is as vile and wicked as him. Sharing the same thoughts with people who are the same as his does not do any better.
All that lives in Haven City are corrupted. You won't see a kind soul, for even the kids have enough courage to kill.
Drops of sweat were splattering, heaving could be heard loudly enough, decisive strikes, which parries each other ironically gives light, and anger, hatred, rage, passion, madness, and rancor explodes out of grief.
Invictus and Jorp both accurately predict each other, avoiding and parrying dangerous slashes while standing and not lifting their feet on the floor. Only weaving their bodies, attacking, and defending themselves from the others were the only movements they were doing.
'Why is it that always unfortunate events h
"I can't see the spark, the radiance that surrounds you when I first encountered you, Invictus! What can you do all by yourself?!"Jorp must have hit his head or Invictus must have kicked him hard for his comprehension to become low. He was not getting what Invictus was explaining to him and kept repeating the same question over and over again.Jorp was on all fours, weak and unable to fight back after throwing up a couple of times now."Telling you how I'll achieve my goals will just go inside from one ear and left to another. So, let me show you this."Invictus tightly grabbed Jorp by his hair, lifting his head up to see what he was about to do. In his hand was his weapon, his short sword, catching Jorp's attention as the tip slowly crept on Invictus' neck."If you blink, you will not see what I am about to do. Therefore, keep your eyes open. I'll only do this once since it sure will hurt like a bitch."Invictus was about to inflict pain on himself, something he does not usually do,
Nothing could be more painful than getting hit in the nuts. Invictus took advantage of Jorp when he let his guard down because he knew that Invictus was exhausted and bleeding but he really isn't."Ow! M-My fucking... entire civilization."Jorp weakly collapsed on the ground while holding his crotch. He could not move. His body was stiff from the excruciating pain."My, my... Now you've seen my face. I can't let you live anymore. I was planning on using you, but I guess you will have to go.""No! No!"Jorp's head was shaken by a kick. An instant knocked out after getting hit in his jaw took out Jorp."Just lie there for now while I bring your coward of comrades back."As he started towards the door, Invictus put his mask back on, whistling under bloody moonlight in Haven City, whereas darkness prevails in the uproarious night.One by one, Invictus began to hunt Jorp's accomplices, from the depths of hell to every nook of the ci
"Fool, those deities do not watch over us anymore. They abandoned theirpeople a long time ago. But... becoming their target to put an end to me isn't impossible to happen."Invictus offered a hand to Jorp, pulling the man, who was still in a state of utmost shock, up."I haven't agreed to work with you or become your pawn. But I'm willing to listen to what you have to say.""I'm glad that I don't have to resort to violence again, Jorp, just to make you comply.""What sort of evil schemes do you have in your mind if I resisted?!""Things you would wish you didn't know. You'd hope that you could comply as soon as you can."A tool, accomplice, pawn, disposable hand, state whatever you desire here, but Invictus' trust will be hard to earn. He might even never trust anyone again because of the people that dared take advantage of it"Always onward towards better things."Haven City was plunged into chaos and bloodbath every n
Butcher is the one in charge of monopolizing these dead humans. A corpse has so many uses for every maniac, be it for literal consumption, those that are cannibalism, or decorations. Believe it or not, these corpses are butchered, organs separated from the body, skinned, torn to pieces, and distributed widely outside the city.Yes, it was like a human farm for those that are craving or seeking pleasure in humans. It was not always sexual, like those necrophiliac scums. Sometimes, people buy it for something like art, considering a mummified head of a person a piece of beautiful art, displayed in a noble's house.And the curious taste buds of fat bastards whose hunger was insatiable, crave human meat, ordering large amounts of human organs and body parts to try and test everything out.Magic was convenient for everyone. In Butcher's case, he no longer has any need for tools to cut the corpses to pieces. Granted the power to wield ice magic, Butcher used it to cre
Whether Invictus likes it or not, he had to follow Bethel and his men to their basecamp."Have some tea," offered Bethel, sitting down on a sofa.Invictus and Bethel were facing each other, surrounded by Bethel's men with recurring glances over to Invictus' direction as they whispered silently to each other.Intimidatingly, Bethel stared at Invictus, watching the man as Invictus silently took a sip of the tea."For you to easily drink something an unreliable man offered, you must be really stupid or just trusted your guts."Invictus casually put the teacup down on the table in front of the two of them and looked Bethel in the eyes. After intentionally making everyone feel his immense thirst for blood, Invictus smiled when Bethel stopped his men from causing a ruckus."Shouldn't the tea be paired with some biscuits to munch on? Isn't that common courtesy when inviting a guest in your house."The basecamp was far from being a house. Inside the building, there was no furniture other than
"You're being too full of yourself, shitty masked man. Talking big ain't gonna salvage you."Bethel seemed to be not buying Invictus' words.'What does this fucker think he can do alone? The other eight factions will not support this. Most of them are irredeemable pieces of shits that would rather stay here than see the outside world again.'When your plan of escaping the city failed, the second thing you'll come up with is gathering allies to escape with you. Bethel tried convincing the other factions but also were told the things he was saying to Invictus at the moment."I'll fill you in on my plans once you decide to join hands with me," Invictus stood up. "Just standby for now and wait for news to spread around. Alright, then I'm gonna have to leave now."Bethel had been trying to see if Invictus would show fear towards him by being surrounded by his men. However, Bethel had never noticed terror in Invictus. He does not even break character in
"Hmm... Before, yeah. But doesn't that cost a hefty amount of money?"Potion of Disguise allows you to mimic or turn into someone of the same gender for as long as you like. However, a person will be back to his or her original appearance once her real name is spoken directly in front of you. A small bottle of Simulate, about 100 ML, costs 100 Plata, which is, as Jorp said, quite hefty."It is. But you shouldn't be worrying about the price.""What exactly do you want me to do? Babysit them? Be your eyes while you move forward with your evil schemes?"The two were almost finished with their lunch, with just one more dish left to eat. Most of the food was eaten by Jorp, for he hasn't had food that good for so long after getting convicted and delivered to Haven City. Jorp would not pass on something appetizing and delectable."Yes, you'll be my eyes. All of their actions, plans, everything, you will tell me all of them. But I want you to remember that
"Who are you and for what purpose are you trying to enter the church?"After the church was abandoned by its god, the throne built for him became empty, and so was taken by the faction leader of the ranked 1 group."Hmm, I would like to offer some money for the lord to receive his blessings."He showed his pouch full of Plata, and how the two of them bawled their eyes and almost popped it out."Our liege will gladly meet you inside!"They have heard of the masked man, roaming around, making a name for himself. Every one of them was ordered to bring Invictus in once he decided to visit the church and see him.Snickeringly, Jorp watched them guide Invictus inside the church.'Those fools don't know who they are dealing with.'He has been with Invictus whenever he was working on his plan. And he had seen it all, the worst and what can turn into the worst-case scenario.'Invictus is one insidious fucker. Great measures must
