Tharn and the others didn’t say a word. Everything was going according to plan. The rumour that a group of Adventurers took everything from a Necromancer’s hideout but the Necromancer escaped would work in their favour by making his friends think he was still alive.
With the Adventurers’ help, they separated into a pile the weapons and armour that looked more intricate and would be easier to find the owners and the normal-looking ones into another pile for the Guild to sell.
After they got a change of clothes, they pulled Tharn up from his chair and went out to take a bath.There were still many people on the street who asked what they did to get all those things they brought, and they refused to say anything and waved goodbye.Synesia opened the door of the bathhouse, and after talking with the one in charge, he guided them to another room for them to take off their clothes, and he even told them they could put everything on an emp
When they finished and got out of the bathtubs, Tharn opened the taps again, but instead of asking Kek to help with his tail, he summoned Byia Calla, his friendly Water Dragon, and asked her to clean the bottom of the bathtubs.When all the water was out, he closed the taps again and said, “Byia, can you use your Water attacks to clean the floor? And put fresh water in those bathtubs, okay?”
Tharn gently caressed Istar’s hands and said, “That is good, Istar. It shows that you care and you are still the kind girl I met when I appeared in the middle of that summoning circle in your School. I have already killed far too many Undead to remember their faces. They are just a blur that doesn’t make me feel anything, but I keep on seeing the people that died in front of me. People that I was too slow or couldn’t save because I was doing something else, or fighting with someone. Those are the faces I keep seeing. From the moment I wake up until I fall asleep. Sometimes, I dream about them, and that is when I have horrible nightmares. I regret not being able to save them. And I also have a lot of remorse for doing things that caused their deaths. But instead of going along the Dark Path, I focus on my hatred for the Dark Necromancer. The one that caused
System Sword Record 3, World TherospIn the dark void, my Master and I were waiting for the Portal to appear.He was sleeping, and I kept on analysing the darkness. Then I sensed it. The familiar surge.“Master, wake up! Master! World detected. Portal connected. Get ready, Master.”“<
The long-white-bearded man in the high chair said, “Silence! We will be the ones asking all the questions, mortal!”“Okay… I will try to answer then, but can I first ask where we are and... Are you the Gods that I was told about?”“Who else would we be, mortal? Do we look like Humanoids?”“Just a bit… sorry, my head is still spinning, and I find it diffic
Tharn fell asleep after the end of the System Sword’s record, and not even two hours later, he woke up with Istar mumbling something and rolling on the bed in her sleep.He put one arm over her and caressed her head while whispering, “It is alright, Istar, you are safe. Sleep, think about flying with Anubis, enjoy the wind and the sun… Sleep, Istar…”Next to his face, Iris complained in a whisper, “Annoying Cathra woke me up! M
While the others were thinking about Iris’ words, Tharn grabbed a small bag of coins, put it inside his one-shoulder bag, and asked, “What about if we got out of here? Istar, take the money you want to give to your parents, and let’s go.”Osman looked at the pile of bags full of coins on the floor and asked, “Are we really going to leave all this here? What if someone enters and robs us? Not that I don’t trust the Adventurers in this Guild, but still!”
With a flick of his hand, a ball of light appeared on Tharn’s right. It grew and made the guards and the people around them run away, to give it space. Then, he appeared in all his glory, Anubis, the Bringer of the End, flapping his wings and making dust lift from the ground, shooting a gush of fire straight at the sky.Tharn pointed at it and shouted, “The next time we arrive, we will be ridding three of those Elementals! And if you annoy me again, Captain, I will tell him to bite your head off! Go do your job and stop being such a brat! Grow up! And get out of my way before my horse vaporises you!”The Captain and his men stood aside, still loo
