"What's the disturbance about?" A sleepy voice said with slight anger as the entire inn quieted down instantly."Who's that?" I asked the girl curiously due to the tension in the room."Hey quiet down, that's the captain of the security guards, if he catches you causing trouble, you'll be banished at night" The girl said with a frown."So you're the one causing trouble over here huh, hey you the ugly one, wanna die" The captain said with a burp as he staggered over to where the fight was about to take place."Did they wake you up generous sir, they don't understand us kindred spirits, if only they knew what it took to be us" Shòuwáng said as he suddenly popped up and placed his hand on the captain's shoulder causing a mummer to circulate in the room."Hmm, I would never have expected in my entire life that someday something like this would happen " The captain said as his expression darkened, the people In the inn also realized that his voice had reduced in tone, at this moment the pe
"A tattoo...., I don't think so" The girl answered with a shake of her head."Try to remember because its really important" I insisted as I felt the girl shift uncomfortably In her chair, it seemed like forcing her to remember events of that day was really unpleasant.'What am I doing, I don't need to add to her trauma and even if she really remembered, why should she tell me, she just met me, just forget it, I already have my hands full with this mission, there's no need to bite on more than I can chew' I thought deeply as I made up my mind."You know what, it's okay don't….." I said then paused as I heard the girl's next words."Wait I think I remember something, he did have that tattoo on his arm…it was of a…" The girl said as she suddenly remembered something, her eyes flashed as she glanced at me."A snake eating it's tail" We both said together as our gaze locked, at this moment we were thinking of totally different things, she was probably wondering who I was while my thoughts
'What was that just now?' I asked myself as I thought back to the aura that I sensed outside a while ago, it seemed familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time, I needed to do a little investigation in this town."What was the trump card?" Mei Ling asked with a frown curious to know."Oh sorry something came up so I have to leave now, it's of utmost importance so please forgive me, I'll finish the story tonight" I said quickly as I stood up then deactivated the barrier before motioning for the rest to follow me as we each booked rooms for ourselves."What!" Mei Ling said with anger as the suspense ate at her mind."System I need you to do a full scan of the town now" James said to the system immediately after entering his room, he erected a soundproof barrier around the room as he sat on his bed awaiting the system's response.[I can't do that]"What do you mean, 'I can't do that', huh?" James asked in confusion.[Me doing that would be considered as me helping you with the mission]"Oh
"Fuck I was so close, I was so freaking close" Shouwang cursed as he stared into the distance where the explosion had occurred."Let's go see what the fuck that is" Shouwang said with a sigh as he disappeared, some seconds after he did, a shadow suddenly separated from the others and gradually morphed into a human shape."Whew he's finally gone, I have to report back, there are intruders who might interrupt our plan" The shadow said as it took out an orb but then it suddenly discovered that it couldn't move, its core was also locked with chains that restricted it from using any attacks."Unfortunately you aren't going anywhere" A cold voice sounded as Shouwang appeared behind it."Did you think you could evade my senses, nice try but you're coming with me, and don't even think about burning your essence, as you can see, I've locked up your mana reserve" Shouwang smirked as he grabbed the shadow and slammed it face onto the ground causing it to fall unconscious."I've got one of them"
"So you aren't going to say anything huh?" I asked with a grin as I stood before our captive in the dimension space with the clones behind me."I would die before I say anything" The captive who was floating in the air, bonded by my mana."I knew you would say that, good thing I prepared something for you" I smirked as the scenery changed around us from the originally bright and lively environment to a dark and gloomy cliff."Someone like you would have done a lot of bad in your lifetime, you deserve to pay, I'll be back for you later" I said as I walked to the end of the life and looked down where a large sea of ghouls in a fire could be seen staring at us with crazed looks."Wait no wait stop arrrg…." The captive screamed as I threw him off the cliff into the sea of ghouls who screeched as he fell into them, immediately he fell into the sea, the ghouls grabbed him and bit his flesh and dragged him under."Helpppppp" The captive screamed in pain as he was dragged under them."He shou
"Who's Chronus?" Mei Ling asked as she stared at me, she felt like this was supposed to be a huge plot twist but upper hadn't even known who Chronus was."Typical, the way I planned this twist and for it to end up in failure, well forget it, you'll find out in due time, so the forces of evil got the upperhand blah blah, skip to the middle, so as the war went on, the victor was gradually becoming clear that was until the hidden dragons surfaced, a group of individuals with unique abilities, their power level unseen in history and they all shared one singular similarity" I paused as I took a sip of blood tea and bit into a huge chump of meat then swallowed."They all had a tattoo on their arm, a tattoo of a snake swallowing it's own tail, they came like a breeze swooping on the forces of evil leaving a blood trail, carnage followed as the mysterious organization made their name known to the world as 'Ourobourus led by the elusive leader 'Icemaster', a being only heard about in legends,
"Who are you and how did you get here?" Mr Luo asked with a frown as he spotted me."Wait I know you, you're friends with, Shòuwáng what are you doing here?" Luo Xiang asked with surprise."If you tell me everything you know about your benefactor, I'll heal you" I offered with a smile."Hey who do you think you are to be making offers, you should accept your punishment for intruding in someone's business" Mr Luo said with anger as he took out a sword and prepared to attack me but before he could make a move, he suddenly felt a crushing pressure which brought him to his knees, the funny thing was that it wasn't even me.'Restrain yourself, child, if you don't want to die' A cold and weak voice sounded in his mind which caused him to glance at me in shock."Venerable sir, please forgive my son's blatant attitude, he doesn't recognize your greatness, please If you could heal me, I wouldn't have any problem providing information but what if you…don't follow your word after I give you the
"Take care of the city, since you've recovered, it's your responsibility" I said to , Xiang Liang who nodded in response as he glanced at his two sons."Let's go, you have a whole lot of explanation to do" Xiang Liang said with a frown as he led his sons out of the room."Whew, that was tiring now, let's make a plan, they'll most definitely know about us plus we can't just trust what we saw in that guy's memories and rush into battle blindly, we have to take this carefully since they might have called for backup, if so then we might be facing stronger opponents, so what do you guys suggest?" I asked as the clones all sank back in thought, they knew that I was right."What if….."*******************************************************************"Get ready, we'll move out in some minutes" A black-cloaked man holding a staff that radiated a greenish-red hue said in a gruff voice."Where is our captive?" The cloaked man asked as another cloaked man led him to a large room where a girl
