2024-10-29 19:42:56When Trina was reading the dagger's attribute, her eyes went blank, she looked like she is unconscious. Liu who have been calling her slapped her into consciousness, Trina have finished reading all the messages though
" what's wrong with you?"
"uhm, I was...I was trying to remember the way you cut the dragon earlier, you know I am wondering if this dagger cat do the same"
"it can't, but it can stop and slow down a dragon"s fire. If you want to kill a dragon, take sword and the shield, I will teach when we get home"
" home like your house?"
" if you are bent on going to your cousin's, you can find the address yourself, just drop my dagger and the sword, you can go your way"
"of course I'll go with you, I hope my cousin is safe"
"the probability is low, those dragons and devils already destroyed 60 percent of the Song City ai there's just this village left"
Trina put on a sad face to convince Liu that she is really here for her cousin
"am not that cruel actually, even if you are fully armed and go in search of your cousin, you'll still die"
" I understand you"
" well I am the only child of my father and I am most time alone, I need a company especially when I am night guarding"
"night guarding?"
"Actually, after magic was used to fight off the dragons, they fled and set up a base to the north, bloking the road that leads from Song village to Song City, the village had to manage the South and set up a magic gate. Although it's magic, the dragons do try to break free and enter sometimes, that's why magicians night guard so in case a dragon enters, it will be killed immediately"
"those dragons are really mysterious"
" if what you saw is what you call mysterious, then a big surprise await you" L
"tell me"
"the dragon I killed and the ones pursuing us earlier are dragon warriors, they can understand signs only, the big one you saw is a dragon general, it must have few dragons under its command. Dragon generals can hear but they cannot speak, they can only give sounds. There is also a dragon Lord, these ones are stronger than dragon generals, they can speak and hear. After them is the dragon king, they are not very big but they have hard skins and very hot fire, all this magics of mine can't stop them. I am suspected there will be a stronger one that controls the dragon kings since there are around 5 dragon kings"
"you are scaring me Liu" I said
"oh, am sorry, don't worry except the dragon generals, others don't come out much, I wonder what they are doing in the north" Liu said
"probably getting stronger"
" take the sword, I'll help you with the shield, lets go to the gate, we had enough of dragons tonight" Liu said
As Trina pick up the sword, another message popped up in her face although this time she didn't get distracted
[Name: Chen's sword]
[Type: Sharp weapon]
[Rarity: Common]
[Attack: Weak]
[Attribute: None]
[Effects: None]
[Abke to loot out of the mission: Yes]]
[Remark: It used to be Chen's magic sword but since Chen died, the magic went away. It's tottai useless agains dragons]
"I really wish I can learn magic"
" that's not hard, father can teach you if you be a good girl and show her you are worth his lessons"
" how can I impress him?"
" hurt a dragon, night guard alone for a week without a dragon entering the village, all sort if difficulty things he can ask you to do"
The two of them walked to the village gate, not a modern gate but some king of olden barrier with magic to make it stronger. They entered the village and stay at the gate guarding it, till morning, no dragon went to the gate so they have a peaceful night guard.
Morning in the village the duos were set to go to Liu's house
"Night guarding is that easy, except the sleeping part"
"the guy that died, uhm... are you...?" Trina wanted to ask a question but got interrupted
"oh yes Chen, I almost forgot, we should head to the village king"
"king???"
"yeah, Song used to be a city before the devil tribulation, you don't have to worry about Chen, it's normal for a night guard to die, the village will honor him" Liu replied
"I know, but aren't we supposed to take his corpse and..." Trina was interrupted again
"no, no, no, we don't do that. Those dragons, whenever they eat someone to death will in put some kind of poison so much that whenever the body starts to decay, the poison will spread in the air and affect anyone that sniff in the air so we do burn our dead bodies"
"oh, you know it's the custom of some people, diseased or not"
"can't wait to get home, let's go to the palace"
Song Castle
Liu and Trina entered the palace, they were allowed to enter the royal court without any question since Liu's dressing depicts his identity as a night guard. Entering the palace court they paid homage to the king
"I greet your majesty" Liu greeted bowing down and Sean did the same.
"it is rare for s night guard to visit the palace early in the morning, what's the problem?" the king asked knowing something must have happened that made the night guard come to the palace
"my Lord, your subject and my assistant, Chen, while night guarding last night, we were attacked by a dragon and he got killed while I killed the dragon. This man here is a Traveller that escaped the dragon's sight by luck, she guarded the village with me last night. Although she have no magic prowress, she wish to learn and be an official night guard, she is going to learn from my father, we seek your majesty's consent"
" As for Chen, I'll arrange people to burn his corpse and inform his people, you don't have to worry about that. If your father accepts her as his disciple, she can come back to take the night guard official batch and join the guardianship. The village appreciates your effort in protecting them" The King assured and appreciated
" do not mention your majesty, your subject recognize his duty as protecting the people of Song with my life, I'll will not slack in my duty".
"you can go"
Liu and Sean went out if the palace for Liu's house.
"It's all that easy" Liu said breathing heavily
"there is nothing intimidating about him, his an humble king even, I like him"
*you mean the dragon tribulation humbled him, the kingdom is no more protected by him"
"do you think your dad will accept me easily?"
"since his majesty is indifferent about you being a guard, my dad might not take much time in deciding"
Liu's house
"looks like you did an overtime today" Liu's dad queried him
"Chen died" Liu replied.
His father did not say anything but stared at him for a long time that even Trina feel awkward
" don't blame me dad, it was his carelessness, he..."Liu was trying to explain but got interrupted
"I didn't ask you anything, who is she?" Liu's father asked
" uhm, she is..."Liu trying to tell about Trina to his father but got interrupted again
" I am Queen Trin, here to visit my cousin but to my surprise there is this tribulation that took over the city. Liu volunteered to shelter me"
Liu's father stared at Liu again
" that's because she wishes to be your disciple" out of fear Liu back up Trina "his majesty accepts him to join the guardianship if you'll teach him"
His father's gaze never left him but after some time he smiled "I know you need a company, I won't stop you, as for you young lady, you can be my disciple if you learn fast. The slower you get, the lower the chance of you being my disciple. Welcome to our house"
"Thanks father, we will be in my room" Liu said and went out of his father sight, Sean followed after thanking Liu's father
"your father is the definition of authority"
" you think so, dad is just always stern, he's become more simple since mum died"
"dragon tribulation?"
"yeah, the tribulation have took many lives, my is just a minor"
"I'm sorry but I wonder why those dragons are holding back since you said they have stronger warriors to fight for them"
"probably because we also have stronger people to fight for us or the devils haven't tell them to do so"
"oh, I almost forgot that. so what next"
"night guardians sleep in the morning"
" wait, who guard the village in the day?"
"we also have watchers, there is a big tower is the village, the dragons can be watched from afar. If any dragon is coming they can take care of it unless less it's an army."
"the village have great intelligence, I'm sure the dragon tribulation must have been immediate, you people don't have time to react so there are many casualties"
"hmm, not that, the king doesn't believe in magicians at first but when his son and his army died, he have no choice"

Finally, Sean felt safe for the first time since he's been in this game. There is a place that they are in, Sean looked around and realised it has lots of dirt in it. After a little clearing work on the underground hideout, Sean felt tired. Lyla still had her guard up, listening carefully and inspecting their surroundings, after making sure that there was no intruder, she stopped and settled down. She stole glances at Sean and asked him"You did a great job out there, what were you doing before the devil came?""I… uhm…I was a wrestler""Wrestler? You don't look like one" Lyla looked at Sean all over again and confirmed that he just looked like a normal man. Except for his tough skin and a few bruises that he's got on his body which he got through labour, he's just a normal man."Yeah, I just started training and I never won a fight against my colleagues"In this underground hideout, there is only one bed and one sofa which clearly Lyla must have seen in the building before moving t

Sean was woken by the sound of movement in the room He opened his eyes to see Lyla eating some snacks at the opposite corner. She must have taken it from somewhere in this place, where she hid it. Sean closed his eyes again so he could rest his eyes a bit but the system appeared in his vision. He can see on the system that he has unread notifications. He doesn't know if he should read it now or later. Sean opened his eyes again, laying his haze on Lyla and Lyla stiffened up Food had a different value at the time of war Common snacks were expendable at normal times but at the time of war?

"Of course you won't know about the devil general. These devils are more like humans, apart from their looks and their blood lust. When the war started, it was the whole devil army that came to destroy the city, after their victory, the devil may have started retreating little by little. Then there was no devil general. A soldier just took five if it's comrade and massacred a whole street, when the Devil Lord asked for reason, gr said there has to be someone that will input fear into the heart of the humans or humans will take the devils for granted. The devil Lords and King thought the idea to be a good idea so made him a general and gave him devils to control. The devils moved to somewhere else out of the city, leaving the devil general to check us. Those that were brave enough to go against the devil general, they left the city to the village, most of them got killed though. Despite the devil general just having a small number of devil soldiers in his army, no one dared cross him o

Lyla agreed with Sean and she continued talking"You are very good with the use of a dagger. Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you are strong enough?"Sean understands Lyla is asking if he is mentally prepared for the fight against the devils and he won't just get killed before the fight starts."Come on, I made this decision and I'm ready. Moreso, I've got no choice, unless I want to be trailed by devils until I die or the tribulation is over. If I'm lucky, I have to do this. Sean smiled and reassured Lyla.He didn't want to risk their plan.He had not minded fighting the devil soldiers. If it was some human soldiers or thugs, he can easily dodge them instead of going to a fight with them. But this? With the scent?It surely was a different matter entirely."Uhm, apart from being safe, is there anything we can loot from the battle? Something that can at least help us through the tribulation" Sean asked ay after thinking of what profit they can derive from the battle"You

"Another skill? So skulls can be learnt from NPCs, that will be great if it's true. I'll just have to put a good impression you on the character and get the skill I want" All sort of thoughts popped up in Sean's mind and he answered "of course I do" Excluding the skills that his bounded player added to their arsenal, Sean only has one skill for himself. Although he doesn't know how powerful a skill might be, judging from the description of his skill, it must be a game changer. 'The more skills you have, the more powerful you get, especially when you start to level up your skills', he learnt that from his sister Trina. There was a time when Trina tried to teach him how to play video games with a low realism percentage but he never had time. Work, school, medical treatment, all of this used up his time.

A Fight with Nothing
I fell on the ground, rolled on it and stood up. The cut on my back healed up in a few breaths. I looked around to see if anyone was with me but I still saw nothing. I drew out my sword, using the Holy Veil's senses and sight to predict where the next attack will come fromI realized that dinse my greatest fear is Nothing, I'm fighting Nothing The sense of danger that I felt is more concentrated on my left side so I guess that is where Nothing is. With all my speed I ran there and with all my strength I swung my sword but I stopped halfway. Nothing twisted the sword, forcefully collected it and threw it away. Nothing squeezed my neck, I almost died. Nothing threw me away and I gasped for air as I landed.To kill nothing, I need to find my advantage against it or its own weakness.Nothing slashed me again as it healed up immediately. This continues for a long time and I have to endure the pain. All the cuts nothing caused on me were healed instantly, as if they were never there, exce
