Matt soon arrived in the slums via tram, he was still pissed at that noble lady
‘She had the same smell as the one that was in the table’s and chairs of the bar… Something about that flowery scent pisses me off’
Matt sighed before he concluded
“It might be some sort of fancy tea, or narcotic… I guess I’ll find out if I carry out the hits I’ve been assigned…”
Matt cracked his neck before he took off his shirt and deployed his bone spikes as well as his bone plating that soon covered his entire body, as the plating covered his eyes the world became dark for a moment before his view were lit up in a dark green light as his field of view changed to 360 degrees, now seeing all around Matt didn’t feel nauseou
Matt slowly came to, as he did, he realized that he was laying face first down on a cold stone floor, the first thing that passed thought his head was a certain pop-culture reference‘Don’t do drugs ‘mmnkay… my fucking head…’As his head ached something fierce, Matt attempted to stand up only to realized that his hands were bound on his back‘Well this certainly something and there’Matt deployed some bone spikes to easily solve his issue before he stood himself up in the cell, he realized that he had been far too overconfident when he conducted his solo drug bust, though his shattered knee and wrist seemed to have healed somewhat doing he was high as a kite and his subsequent sleep, however long that had been
“Wait! Plea—”A shame that Matt was unable to hear the pleas of his victims at the moment, he simply slaughtered his way through the prisoners that he had been ordered to kill, once he was done he simply stopped moving and waited for his next orders Julia clapped once with a happy expression on her face as she spoke“Good, very good”Just then, a servant entered the bloody courtyard and after confirming that there weren’t anyone else she spoke“Lady Julia, an undead has been spotted heading towards the city, your father has sent an extermination force”Julia nodded before she asked the servant“How far is it from the city?&rdqu
Eve stood with her arms crossed, 10 meters in front of her was the north gate to the Lord’s manor, besides her was her halberd stabbed right through the middle of a stone slab listing the names of the previous city Lord’s, normally visitors weren’t allowed to so much as touch the stone slab, but Eve stood right in the middle of it and had even stabbed her halberd into it which had cracked the stone slab, she didn’t care for the guards when she had done this, as for why? That was because she had already killed them, the only reason why she waited on a response from the Lord was to decide if she should kill him or torture him to death, moments turned into minutes before a servant arrived on the other side of the gate along with several other armed servants and shouted at Eve“The Lord is busy, leave or be removed!”Eve let out
After pacifying Michelle with a few soothing words, it was finally time to deal with the Lord of Kel, Matt didn’t know what Eve had done to him and something about her smile told him not to ask, he simply asked the question he had wanted to know the answer to all along“Where did you send Lily?”The Lord snapped out of his daze before he answered“To the east, into the mountains… To the Right’s Monetary, to prepare for her wedding with the 2nd prince of Helkempf”“I see…”Matt then covered his hand in dragon scales before he stabbed it into the Lord’s chest and pulled out his core, then after throwing the Lord’s corp
Matt gradually woke up from his meditation, he sat on the bed inside one of the individual rooms in the underground complex, he breathed deeply and assessed his state‘...I am now a little under halfway to level 5’Having consumed the 2 cores, he had acquired himself along with the 11 that Michelle had gathered for him, he had jumped a huge margin towards level 5 and his eventual molding, he let out a deep sigh before he called out“I’m done”At once Michelle walked over and sat down on his right, Matt figured that it was time to come clean, so he apologized“I am sorry for leaving you behind in Tevil”
Eve finished reporting to Matt, he had a grim expression on his face, a swirl of self blame and guilt rotated inside his mind completely blocking out the happiness he should be feeling, he blamed himself for not being there for Lily, he asked once more to be sure“She’s pregnant… With my child?”Eve nodded and spoke“According to the information I’ve acquired, she was showing signs of it before she left the city… The former Lord thought so too, that’s why he force-fed her abortion medicine en masse… Which caused her physical and mental health to deteriorate”Matt didn’t register what Eve was saying at once, it was like there was a part of him that refused to believe anyone could do such a thing to their
The road stretched ahead of them, the group of 3 were on horseback as they rode out of Kel, Matt was a little awkward on horseback, but he figured that he would get used to it… Eventually that is“God, I am glad I was born into an age where the primary method of transportation wasn’t fueled on hay… This is awful”Eve quickly reprimanded him on his mutter however“Don’t talk, Matt, you’ll risk biting your tongue”Matt nodded as he focused on the road ahead instead, the group rode the entire day before they made camp in the evening, then Matt slept, he was the only one in the group of 3 that required sleep after all, then at first light they set off again, this continued over the course of 12 days, that’s when t
Matt woke up again, he began failing around space while trying to move as the old skeletal dragon had, after a few hours of struggling around under the watchful eye of the old skeletal dragon Matt eventually found out the trick, and soon his short wings carried him around space as he flew around the old skeletal dragon a few times while letting out cute sounding roars, eventually he became hungry and ate some of the remaining sun with glee, then the old skeletal dragon spoke“I see you’ve managed to move around space with your wings, let’s get you moving on the stellar plain”Then the old skeletal dragon looked over towards the destroyed sun, Matt followed his gaze and felt there was something special about that point in space and let out a growl before he looked over at the old skeletal dragon that nodded, then Matt flew ove
