Languid Kane Chapter 119: Lawless City
Clandestine Empire. An empire consisted of different regions where mages and non-mages co-exist. The north was protected by people with earth affinity magic, south with wind, east with water, west with fire, southwest with lightning, southeast with ice and the northwest with plants while the northeast had magic affiliated with animals.Aside from the different territories under different lieges, the outskirts were composed of free cities. One of those cities would be found in the southern outskirts. The South City was also known as the Lawless City.During the day, this city was just like any other city. There are different shops such as tea shops, armor shops, weapon shops and bakeries. There were people roaming around without fear despite the city's name."I told you to bring me that dagger, didn't I?" A seventeen-year-old young man said with a grim expression.Kneeling in front of him was an eleven-year-old boy with ragged clothes and face full of dirt."F-forgive me, Leon. The sho
Languid Kane Chapter 120: Grandson
The sound of the crackling fire had woken the five-year-old kid. The smoke was already thick and his surroundings were bright red-orange. The boy covered his mouth as he coughed. The smoke made it hard for him to breathe.He heard his mother called for him so he dragged his tiny body out of the bed. The room was so hot and the smoke burned his eyes, yet he still continued to move outside his room and go to his worried mother.He followed the direction of the voice and found his mother's room. Despite the burning pain, he turned the knob.He saw his mother lying on the floor, some of her skin was burned but what brought terror to him was the dagger pierced in his mother's body."Mother!""Dio!"Dio immediately opened his eyes and saw his grandfather's worried expression."Gramps, mother is. . ." Dio hugged his grandfather.Archie caressed his grandson's back as the boy cried while calling for his mother. It was one of Dio's frequent nightmares which usually kept the both of them awake
Languid Kane Chapter 121: Underground
"Gramps!" Dio excitedly called out to his grandfather when he arrived home because he brought good news with him.However, he was welcomed by the groaning of a kid inside the room where they brought wounded people.He peeked on the slightly opened door and saw that the kid he helped earlier was writhing in pain. He immediately opened the door wide and stood next to his grandfather."What happened?""Good thing you're here, Dio. Can you help him? The poison spread too fast because it was put in his open wounds.""How about the antid—" he couldn't continue what he was about to say when he saw the grim expression on Archie's face. "You couldn't."He sat beside the kid and covered his hands with his eyes. He could feel the surge of power coming from his core towards his hands as he focused the mana in his fingers. He calmed the kid first. He made his sensory nerves numb for a moment so that he wouldn't feel pain temporarily. Removing a poison from the body would hurt a lot so he had to do
Languid Kane Chapter 122: From the Shadows
It was a fine morning. Archie saw his one and a half meter tall grandson picking up herbs from their backyard. The boy's mint colored hair fluttered with the wind as he hummed."Dio."The boy's face turned toward him which revealed his gray hazel eyes. "Yes, Gramps?""Let's eat." He smiled as he watched his grandson nod his head cheerfully."Oh!" Dio said as he turned to face Archie. "Mr. Marcus Stannard said that he would prepare a contract for us to supply tea leaves for him."Archie nodded his head in response to Dio's information. "That will be great. Will you do the deliveries?"Dio smiled and gave him a thumbs up.Archie went to the dining area while listening to Dio's blabbering. He was somewhat relieved that Dio still had this side of him despite being exposed to the juvenile atmosphere of south city."Gramps?" Dio hesitated as he sat across Archie."What is it?" He saw Dio's pupils shook as he looked away which made him sigh. "Just say it, young man."Dio breathed deeply befo
Languid Kane Chapter 123: Watch your back!
"Please, Mr. Archie!" Matt prostrated in front of Dio's grandfather.The old man pursed his lips as he stared at the young man bowing his head in front of him. "Why does it have to be Dio?""Dio knows a lot about herbal plants. Aside from the fact that he is the second best when it comes to medicine, he is the only one I could ask to come with me," Matt answered truthfully.Archie turned to look at his grandson who was looking down. It felt like too much of a coincidence that Dio suddenly asked about his opinion on him being an adventurer last week and an adventurer suddenly visited to ask if he could take Dio with him on a mission."Dio. . .""I didn't do anything, Gramps."Archie sighed when he sensed the truth when he looked at Dio's eyes. However, Dio didn't even try to hide his expectant and happy gaze towards Matt."Can you promise to protect Dio?""Even at the cost of my life, Mr. Archie.""Matt!" Dio blurted out of shock. "You don't have to go that far.""It's just proper to a
Languid Kane Chapter 124: Unwelcomed
While Dio was on an adventure with Matt, Archie was preparing something. He was putting the gold bars he collected for more than eight years to a spatial bag. Then he moved to the medicine cabinet and moved the highest quality magic and health potions as well. After putting a couple more items necessary for survival he then entered his room and opened a hidden door under his bed. He opened a chest full of magic crystals and lastly, he took a twin dagger hidden in the chest and moved them all to the bag. He opened his space ring and put the bag in there with a sigh.“This should be enough,” he mumbled as he put the ring on his pinky finger.He went back to the store when he heard a sudden knock.“I hope you’re ready.”“I’ve been waiting for you.” Archie let out a dark smile.“Dio!” Matt called out to the kid who was suddenly attack by a canis. They were just a few meters away from the heart of the forest when a pack of canis attacked them.Matt kicked a small canis who stood on his way
Languid Kane Chapter 124: No More Meaning
Dio threw the shovel to the side after he finished burying his grandfather’s remains. He sat on the ground with his legs crossed as he stared at his grandfather’s tomb. He played with the ring on his finger, the last thing that his grandfather gave him, as he sighed repeatedly.“Heir apparent.” He sighed after reading the letters carved into the ring. If it was the reason why his grandfather wanted him to live on, then it would be useless. He threw everything away that day and nothing was left for him to live for.He poured mana onto the ring and a magic circle appeared in front of him. He already expected that it would be a space ring, yet his lips curved upwards when he realized that he was right. He peeked at the contents of the dimension storage and he shook his head in disbelief. In the end, his grandfather prepared everything for him to live a good life. It was obvious with the stack of gold and jewelries that he found inside as well as the amount of high-quality potions that he
Languid Kane Chapter 125: Existence
Dio opened his eyes and he saw the dark sky above him. He looked around and realized that he was still at the alley where the boys left him. He touched his side and felt disappointed when he felt the dried blood but the stab wound was completely healed.His restoration ability was something that he inherited from his mother. It would be hard to kill him unless his heart or brain was crushed or he suffered from too much blood loss that his restoration wouldn’t be able to keep up. Though they can heal and regenerate, they could still feel the pain.“What a lousy bunch. They couldn’t even do a good job of killing me,” he mumbled as he stood up. His stomach grumbled when he smelled the aroma of grilled meat just right outside the alley. He sighed before moving his feet and walked towards the store.“2 chicken skewers, please.” He took out 4 copper coins from his space ring and gave it to the vendor. The vendor gave him his order and he went on his way. Once again, he let his feet walk aim
